成品一览
Living Matter是一本高中生物教材,页面为210 × 280 mm。它的第2章以一幅细胞图开篇,细胞被页面顶角截去一部分,章号在细胞核中。其后是三种颜色的六种标注框,每种有自己的标识,学生在阅读之前就能分清目标和警示。洋红色标记学习目标,排在一条放着靶心的色条上;也标记自我检测,框外有一个带勾的方块。绿色标记学习提示,旁边是一条顶端带灯泡徽标的细线;也标记带三个安全象形图的实验框。警示框是琥珀色,外角有一个警告徽标。BOX 2.1是淡紫色,上方有黑色页签和一个烧瓶。粗体术语取所在框的颜色,BOX 2.1中是洋红色。
这道食谱解答
- 怎样做带图标、色条和圆角的注释、提示或警告框?
- 怎样加编号标签(“BOX 1-1”)、角标图标,或带线的边栏图标?
- 怎样给正文或框里的关键词(粗体或斜体)着色?
简短回答
// box(id, hue, device) is the shared base: the hue colours the title, bullets and key terms.
const TAB = 5, BADGE = 7.4; // in mm: the tab's height (and offset), the warning badge's size
const calloutStyles = [
// The first style is also the one a missing or misspelt type falls back to.
box('objectives', 'band', { title: t({ en: 'In this chapter', es: 'En este capítulo' }),
background: col('tintBand'), stripe: { enabled: true, width: mm(7.5), color: col('band') },
icon: icon('target', 5) }), // on a side stripe (left by default) the icon is centred on it
box('feature', 'band', { background: col('mist'),
titleStyle: { fontFamily: 'Lexend', fontSize: pt(10.5), color: col('ink'), gap: mm(1.6) },
// Printed only where the fence has label="…": the tab, the flask beside it, a rule to them.
label: { fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(8), color: col('paper'), background: col('ink'),
position: 'top-left', // this verso's outer corner, above the badge ('top-right' by default)
height: mm(TAB), offset: mm(TAB), paddingX: mm(2.3), // offset = height: on the top edge
icon: { resourceId: 'flask', width: mm(4.4), gap: mm(1.2) },
rule: { enabled: true, color: col('ink'), width: pt(1.2) } } }),
box('warning', 'warnInk', { background: col('tintWarn'), borderRadius: mm(1.4),
border: { enabled: true, color: col('warn'), width: pt(0.75) },
// The badge hangs half past the outer corner: sides of half badge + GAP align the title.
padding: { top: mm(2.8), right: mm(BADGE / 2 + GAP), bottom: mm(3.2),
left: mm(BADGE / 2 + GAP) },
icon: icon('caution', BADGE, { position: 'corner', cornerSide: 'outer' }) }),
]; // straight into config(), followed by the 'more' styles
用料
做法
#1 · 给每种框一种颜色
const palette = { ink: '#1f2430', paper: '#ffffff', // text; type on stripes and tabs
band: '#ab2e78', tintBand: '#fae3ef', // the chapter's magenta: opener, objectives, self-check
tip: '#25734a', tintTip: '#e2f0e7', // study tips and lab work
warn: '#e39422', tintWarn: '#fcefd8', warnInk: '#94540a', // frame and badge; tint; its type
mist: '#e8e3f0', rule: '#dccfd8', muted: '#675e66' }; // feature box; lines in drawings; heads
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
// The engine's defaults link to 'main-color': point it at the band, so nothing prints blue.
const colorPalette = Object.entries({ ...palette, 'main-color': palette.band })
.map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } }));
六种框共用三种色相:洋红用于学习目标和自我检测,绿色用于学习提示和实验,琥珀色用于警示。BOX 2.1底色为淡紫,关键词用洋红色。每种色相都有一个用于底色的浅色调,每项颜色设置都链接到一个调色板条目,所以改一种色相只需改一个值。这么小的字需要4.5:1的对比度。洋红在淡紫上达到4.9:1,但琥珀色在警示框底色上只有2.2:1,所以警示框只把琥珀色用于边框和徽标,标题和关键词用warnInk排,这是一种更深的琥珀色,对比度5.2:1。
#2 · 其余设置全部共用
const box = (id, hue, device) => ({ id, marginTop: pt(LEAD), marginBottom: pt(LEAD / 2),
padding: { top: mm(2.8), right: mm(3.4), bottom: mm(3.2), left: mm(3.4) },
titleStyle: { fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(8.5), color: col(hue), // bold by default
textTransform: 'uppercase', letterSpacing: pt(1.4), gap: mm(GAP) },
body: { fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(9.6), lineHeight: pt(12.6), color: col('ink'),
boldColor: col(hue), textAlign: 'left', firstLineIndent: pt(0), paragraphSpacing: true },
lists: { color: col(hue), gap: mm(2.2), itemSpacing: pt(2.4) }, // bullets and numbers
...device }); // the kind's title, fill and device: its spread wins over the base
// An SVG or bitmap resource, fitted into a square of that size (width × size with `width`).
const icon = (id, size, more) => ({ kind: 'resource', resourceId: id, size: mm(size), ...more });
box()存放所有框共有的设置:外边距、内边距、标题和正文字体、列表间距。它的hue参数给标题、项目符号和编号以及粗体文字上色。body.boldColor让目标框中的fluid mosaic model变成洋红色,让警示框中的cell wall变成琥珀棕色;正文中的粗体仍是墨色(框内排版)。声明calloutStyles会替换引擎自带的唯一样式,即名为note的灰色框。type缺失或拼错的围栏会使用第一种样式,所以列表以每章都有的学习目标开头。
#3 · 色条、页签和徽标
代码见上文的简短回答。目标框的色条宽7.5 mm,靶心图标宽5 mm,所以图标位于色块之内,两侧都留有空隙。页签的offset等于它的height,这样页签立在框的上边缘上,不压住标题。'top-left'是这个左页的外角;烧瓶跟在页签后面,细线沿上边缘从烧瓶延伸到另一角。position: 'corner'让警示框的徽标越过边缘半个宽度,cornerSide: 'outer'把它放到切口一侧,在这个左页上是左边。在这一侧,除非内边距已经覆盖徽标的一半加上标题间距,否则引擎会让标题缩进以避开徽标;所以警示框两侧的内边距都设为BADGE / 2 + GAP,标题与正文对齐。只有这个框设了borderRadius。带色条的框中,色条作为单独的直角色块绘制,那一侧的角会保持直角(标注框样式)。
#4 · 另外三种标识
const BULB = 6.4; // the study tip's badge in mm: the text clears it
const moreStyles = [
box('tip', 'tip', { title: t({ en: 'Study tip', es: 'Para recordar' }),
backgroundEnabled: false, stripe: { enabled: true, width: pt(2.5), color: col('tip') },
// A stripe narrower than its icon: the badge sits on it at the top and hides it there.
padding: { top: mm(0.6), right: mm(0), bottom: mm(0.6), left: mm(BULB / 2 + 2) },
icon: icon('bulb', BULB) }),
box('safety', 'tip', { background: col('tintTip'), marginTop: pt(4), // under its heading
icon: icon('safety', 7, { width: mm(24.5), align: 'center' }) }), // 3 pictograms, 1 image
box('check', 'band', { background: col('tintBand'),
// Outside the frame: [marker][rule][gap][box], the rule as tall as the box.
marker: { kind: 'resource', resourceId: 'check', size: mm(7), align: 'top', gap: mm(3),
rule: { enabled: true, color: col('band'), width: pt(0.75) } } }),
];
学习提示的色条宽2.5 pt,灯泡徽标宽6.4 mm,所以色条印出来是一条细线,徽标盖在它的顶端;左内边距取徽标宽度的一半加2 mm,使文字避开灯泡。icon.width把图片放进一个宽框而不是方框,所以画成一幅24.5 mm图像的三个安全象形图构成实验框的图标栏,与文字居中对齐。自我检测的标记在边框之外,顺序为标记、细线、间隙、框。它在0.75 pt细线上的方块与学习提示的圆形徽标区分开来。围栏加上span="page" placement="bottom",把自我检测框浮动到第29页底部。
#5 · 图标都是资源
const svgResource = (id, width, height, extra) => ({ id, typeId: 'figure', kind: 'svg',
svg: { fileId: `${id}.svg`, width, height }, createdAt: 0, updatedAt: 0, ...extra });
const pageTop = { position: 'top', span: 'page' }; // a 'top' float opens the page after its :ref
const resources = [
// Uncited, so never placed as figures: the box styles and the opener use them by id.
...['target', 'bulb', 'caution', 'check'].map((id) => svgResource(id, 240, 240)),
svgResource('flask', 200, 240), svgResource('safety', 760, 240), svgResource('cell', 2000, 2000),
svgResource('mosaic', 3480, 1240, { placement: pageTop, caption: t({
en: 'The fluid mosaic: magenta phospholipids, green proteins, an amber carrier with its '
+ 'glucose, grey cholesterol, amber sugars.', // one line: the page is wide
es: 'El mosaico fluido: fosfolípidos magenta, proteínas verdes, transportadora ámbar con su '
+ 'glucosa, colesterol gris, azúcares ámbar.' }),
altText: t({ en: 'A cell membrane in section', es: 'Una membrana celular en sección' }) }),
svgResource('fusion', 1800, 500, { placement: { position: 'here' }, caption: t({
en: 'Mouse proteins in green, human proteins in magenta (the red dye): the two cells, the '
+ 'hybrid just after fusion and the same hybrid 40 minutes later.',
es: 'En verde, las proteínas de ratón; en magenta, las humanas (el colorante rojo): las dos '
+ 'células, el híbrido recién fusionado y el mismo híbrido 40 minutos después.' }),
altText: t({ en: 'Two cells fusing into a hybrid', es: 'Dos células que se fusionan' }) }),
svgResource('osmosis', 3480, 860, { placement: pageTop, caption: t({
en: 'Red blood cells in a hypertonic, an isotonic and a hypotonic solution. Arrows show the '
+ 'net flow of water.',
es: 'Glóbulos rojos en una disolución hipertónica, una isotónica y una hipotónica. Las flechas '
+ 'indican el flujo neto de agua.' }),
altText: t({ en: 'Blood cells in three solutions', es: 'Glóbulos rojos en tres medios' }) }),
];
每个图标、页签旁的烧瓶和章首页的细胞,都是随内容声明、按文件id注册的SVG资源。样式按资源id引用它们,而正文从不引用它们,所以它们都不会成为编号的图。✓或☞这样的字符写起来更短,但页面加载的Fontsource latin字体文件里没有它们:Canvas会从系统字体借用,PDF则会丢掉。图中也不含文字,因为作为图像绘制的SVG无法使用页面的字体;题注改为说明颜色。
#6 · 用一个细胞开启本章
const text = (id, content, family, size, color, placement, extra) => ({ kind: 'text', id,
content, fontFamily: family, fontSize: pt(size), color: col(color), placement,
overflow: 'wrap', align: 'left', ...extra }); // gotcha: overflow-ellipsis-default
const below = (id, y, width) => ({ anchor: { to: `#${id}`, edge: 'below' },
offset: { y: mm(y) }, size: { width: mm(width) } });
const chapter = t({ en: 'Chapter {chapterNumber}', es: 'Capítulo {chapterNumber}' });
const opener = { enabled: true, minHeight: mm(66), slot: { elements: [
{ kind: 'image', id: 'cell', resourceId: 'cell', placement: { anchor: { to: 'page',
edge: 'top-right' }, offset: { x: mm(58), y: mm(-71) }, size: { width: mm(150) } } },
text('numeral', '{chapterNumber}', 'Lexend', 118, 'paper', { anchor: { to: 'page',
edge: 'top-right' }, offset: { x: mm(-OUTER), y: mm(14) } },
{ fontWeight: 800, lineHeight: 1, align: 'right' }),
text('kicker', `${chapter} · {attr.unit}`, LABEL, 9, 'band', { anchor: { to: 'container',
edge: 'top-left' }, offset: { y: mm(3) } },
{ fontWeight: 700, letterSpacing: pt(1.8), textTransform: 'uppercase' }),
text('title', '{titleText}', 'Lexend', 34, 'ink', below('kicker', 2.5, 112),
{ fontWeight: 700, lineHeight: 1.04 }),
text('lead', '{attr.lead}', 'Noto Serif', 10.5, 'ink', below('title', 5, 98),
{ italic: true, lineHeight: 1.42 }),
] } };
细胞是一个锚定在页面右上角并被推出页面的图像元素,所以露出的主要是它的左下四分之一,数字位于细胞核中。两者都在minHeight为章首页预留的66 mm之内。眉题和导语来自标题行# Cells and \\ Membranes {unit="The cell" lead="…"},其中的\\只在章首页让标题换行。

title: "Living Matter" subtitle: "Biology for upper secondary school" --- # Cells and \\ Membranes {unit="The cell" lead="Every living cell is wrapped in a film ten thousand times thinner than a sheet of paper. Oxygen passes through it freely; salts and sugars need a protein to cross."} A cell is a crowded, watery workshop. Its enzymes need salts, sugars and building blocks close at hand, and its waste has to leave before it builds up. The **plasma membrane**, a layer about eight nanometres thick, separates that workshop from the world outside. In this chapter you will see what the membrane is made of and why it behaves more like a liquid than a wall. Some substances cross it at no cost to the cell; others cross only when the cell spends energy. :::callout{type="objectives"} - Use the **fluid mosaic model** to describe the plasma membrane. - Explain how **diffusion** and **osmosis** move substances without energy. - Predict how a cell changes in a hypertonic, an isotonic and a hypotonic solution. - Compare **active transport** with passive transport. ::: ## A boundary with doors Membranes are built mostly from **phospholipids**. Each molecule has a head that is attracted to water and two fatty tails that avoid it. In water, phospholipids arrange themselves so that the tails are hidden: they form a double layer, the **lipid bilayer**, with the heads facing the watery fluid on both sides and the tails meeting in the middle (:ref{id="mosaic"}). Because its core is oily, the bilayer lets small, neutral molecules such as oxygen and carbon dioxide slip straight across. Ions and larger polar molecules, such as glucose, are turned away. Water, although polar, is small enough to trickle through slowly on its own, and many cells speed it up with water channels, the aquaporins. Letting some substances through and not others is called **selective permeability**. It lets a cell keep an inside that differs from its surroundings, and it is why ions and sugars cross through proteins set in the membrane. :::callout{type="tip"} Read the name of the model as a description. **Fluid** means that the lipids drift sideways and swap places with their neighbours millions of times a second, and **mosaic** means that proteins are set into the layer like tiles in a floor. ::: ## The fluid mosaic In 1972 S. Jonathan Singer and Garth Nicolson proposed the model that is still used today. The bilayer is the fluid base, and proteins float in it: some span the whole membrane, others rest on one of its faces. **Channel proteins** form water-filled pores for particular ions, and **carrier proteins** change shape to move a molecule from one side to the other. Chains of sugars fixed to proteins and lipids face the outside of the cell and work as identity tags that other cells recognise. Cholesterol, tucked between the phospholipid tails, acts as a buffer. When it is warm, cholesterol restrains the tails and keeps the membrane from becoming runny; when it is cold, it keeps them from packing tightly and turning stiff. Living things tune their membranes to their temperature: bacteria grown in the cold build lipids with more kinks in their tails, which keeps the layer fluid, and many plants do the same as winter comes, as do the fish that live in the icy seas around Antarctica. :::callout{type="feature" label="BOX 2.1" title="Watching proteins drift" span="page"} :::columns{count=2 breaks="2"} ::resource{id="fusion"} In 1970 Larry Frye and Michael Edidin fused a mouse cell with a human cell. They had tagged the mouse membrane proteins with a green fluorescent dye and the human ones with a red dye. At first each colour kept to its own half of the hybrid cell. Forty minutes later, at 37 °C, the colours were completely mixed (:ref{id="fusion"}). Kept cold, the hybrids mixed far more slowly. The proteins were **drifting** on their own through a fluid layer that the cold made stiffer. ::: ::: :::callout{type="warning" title="Membrane or wall?"} Plants, fungi and most bacteria also have a **cell wall** outside the membrane. The wall gives the cell its shape and keeps it from bursting, but it lets almost everything through. Only the membrane is selectively permeable. ::: The lipids and many of the proteins in a membrane keep moving, yet the layer holds together, because wherever a lipid drifts, its tails stay hidden from the water. For the same reason, a small hole in a bilayer closes up again on its own. ## Crossing the membrane Particles in a solution never stop moving. **Diffusion** is their net movement from where they are more concentrated to where they are less, until they are evenly spread. It needs no energy from the cell, because the particles’ own motion does the work: oxygen diffuses into a cell that keeps using it up, and carbon dioxide diffuses out. **Osmosis** is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. If the solution outside a cell holds more dissolved particles than the cytoplasm, it is **hypertonic**, and the cell loses water and shrinks; if it holds fewer, it is **hypotonic**, and water floods in; if the two are equal, it is **isotonic**, and the cell keeps its size (:ref{id="osmosis"}). Red blood cells in pure water swell until they burst. Plant cells do not burst: the wall holds them firm, which is why a watered plant stands upright and a dry one wilts. Diffusion is quick over short distances and slow over long ones. An oxygen molecule crosses a cell ten micrometres across in about a fortieth of a second, yet it would need some seven hours to diffuse one centimetre through water. That is one reason why cells stay small, and why large animals need lungs, gills and blood to carry oxygen the rest of the way. Transport down the gradient through a channel or a carrier protein is called **facilitated diffusion**, and it is still passive: the protein opens a way, but the cell spends no energy on it. To move a substance uphill, from low concentration to high, a cell has to spend energy, usually as ATP, and that is **active transport**. The sodium–potassium pump in your nerve cells pushes three sodium ions out and two potassium ions in for every ATP it uses, and pumps like it take a large share of a resting cell’s energy. :::callout{type="check" title="Check yourself" span="page" placement="bottom"} :::columns{count=2 breaks="4"} 1. Why can oxygen cross the bilayer but glucose cannot? 2. What does **fluid** mean in the fluid mosaic model? 3. A slice of cucumber is left in salty water. Use **osmosis** to predict what happens to its cells. 4. Why does the sodium–potassium pump count as **active transport** and not as diffusion? 5. Could a cell with a rigid membrane use **endocytosis** to take in a bacterium? Explain. ::: ::: ## Moving in bulk Some cargo is far too large for any channel or carrier. A white blood cell swallows a whole bacterium by wrapping its membrane around it and pinching off a bubble, a **vesicle**, into the cytoplasm: this is **endocytosis**. Cells drink the same way: in pinocytosis the membrane folds in around a droplet of the fluid outside, with whatever is dissolved in it. The reverse, **exocytosis**, carries material out. Vesicles filled with hormones, digestive enzymes or the mucus that lines your airways fuse with the plasma membrane and empty their contents outside. Most signals that a nerve cell passes to the next leave it the same way: vesicles release messenger molecules, the neurotransmitters, into the narrow gap between the two cells. Both processes cost energy, and both work only because the bilayer is fluid enough to break and reseal without leaking. Membranes do not stop at the surface of the cell. Inside it, the same bilayer wraps the nucleus, the mitochondria and a maze of inner compartments, each keeping its own chemistry apart from the rest. In Chapter 3 you will follow a protein that the cell exports, from the ribosome that makes it, through the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, to the vesicle that releases it outside. ### Try it: osmosis in a potato :::callout{type="safety" title="Lab safety"} Wear safety goggles and gloves, and always cut away from your fingers. ::: 1. Cut two potato strips of the same size, about five centimetres long, and weigh them. 2. Leave one in tap water and the other in strongly salted water for thirty minutes. 3. Dry both strips, weigh them again and bend them. 4. Explain the change in mass and in stiffness with what you know about osmosis. :::paragraphs{style="colophon"} **Living Matter** is a textbook invented for the Postext Cookbook.

变化
#让框横跨两栏
在围栏上加span="page",任何一种框都会横跨两栏;BOX 2.1还嵌套了一个:::columns组,把图放在文字旁边。
-:::callout{type="warning" title="Membrane or wall?"}
+:::callout{type="warning" title="Membrane or wall?" span="page"}#把徽标挂在订口一侧
'inner'把徽标移到订口一侧,右页上在左边,左页上在右边;要在那一侧为伸出框外的一半留出空间。
- icon: icon('caution', BADGE, { position: 'corner', cornerSide: 'outer' }) }),
+ icon: icon('caution', BADGE, { position: 'corner', cornerSide: 'inner' }) }),#把页签立在右角
默认值'top-right'会把整个标签镜像过来:页签移到右角,烧瓶在它左边,细线从左边延伸过来。
- position: 'top-left', // 这个左页的外角,位于徽标上方(默认为'top-right')
+ position: 'top-right',常见问题
易错点
传入任何headings对象都会关掉H1换页
默认情况下,H1换页到右页(always-odd),但只要传入headings对象,这个默认值就会被重置,于是各章接排,span: 'page'也不起作用。在每份配置中重新写明headings.levels[0].breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity }。 从右页开始的章 →
易错点
齐左文字可能让标点与粗体或:ref分开
在postext 1.4.1中,不两端对齐的文字(框内正文、齐左段落)可能在粗体或斜体片段(或:ref)与紧挨着它的标点之间断行:句号可能出现在下一行行首,引用前的'('可能留在上一行行尾。两端对齐的文字从不在这里断行。逐一检查每个版本中的框,遇到这种情况就改写句子,让这个片段落在行中间。 粗体、斜体及其颜色 →
易错点
不换行空格仍然会断行
在postext 1.4.1中,断行器把U+00A0当作普通空格,所以0.08 %、2.006 s或Section 2可能被拆到两行。把两部分连写(0.08%),或者改写句子。 转义与字面字符 →
易错点
Fontsource的latin文件不含拉丁字母以外的字形
PDF字体提供函数嵌入的是Fontsource的latin文件,它们覆盖西班牙语和西欧文字,但不包括→、≈、✓、★、希腊字母或中欧字母;这些字形在PDF中会缺失。PDF中的文字要保持在latin范围内。 嵌入PDF的字体 →
易错点
SVG <img>中的文字不能使用网络字体
SVG作为图像绘制,而图像无法使用页面的网络字体,所以其中的标签会退回系统字体。把文字转成轮廓,在SVG中嵌入@font-face子集,或者把标签移到题注里。 作为资源的图和表 →
易错点
'top'浮动体不会出现在引用它的那一页
浮动体不会排在自己的引用之前,所以在第N页引用的整页宽'top'浮动体会出现在第N+1页的顶部。把引用提前,或者使用position 'auto'或'bottom',它们可以占用引用页的底部。 图的放置 →
易错点
用defaultResourceTypes(locale)本地化Figure/Table
配置的locale决定断词,不决定题注:没有resourceTypes时,内置类型用英文写作Figure和Table。西班牙语传入resourceTypes: defaultResourceTypes('es');其他语言请在resourceTypes中自己写出名称。 用你的语言显示“图”和“表” →
易错点
排版前加载所有字体
排版用浏览器已加载的字体测量文字,并缓存宽度,所以首次构建之后才到的字体会造成断行错误,PDF也不再与屏幕一致。先加载所有字重和样式;有字体迟到时,重新构建前调用clearMeasurementCache()。 排版前加载字体 →
易错点
配置按对象身份缓存:每次新建一个对象
引擎按对象身份缓存解析后的配置,所以就地修改配置再构建,会复用旧的结果。每次构建都新建一个对象,这也是食谱的配置写成工厂函数config()的原因。 在Canvas上绘制页面 →
版面警告 · unknownCalloutType
未知标注框类型
原因. 某个:::callout指定的类型没有在calloutStyles中定义,因此它不加提示地套用第一个样式。
解决. 定义该样式,或改正type属性。 文档 →
- 只有当围栏带有
label="BOX 2.1",且样式有label对象时,页签才会印出。没有该对象的样式会忽略这个属性。 - Postext不给框编号。标签就是围栏里写的文字,所以BOX 2.1、BOX 2.2这些编号要手动输入。
- 角上的徽标会越过框的侧边半个宽度,在页面外侧伸进页边距。在同一页的另一栏里,它会伸进栏间距,所以带徽标的框要放在外侧栏,或者给它留出空间。
- 只有当框的
lists.color与unorderedLists.color不同时,框才会给项目符号和编号重新上色。如果两者是同一种洋红,框内的编号列表会改用orderedLists.color,所以本文档把自己的项目符号设为墨色。
