compound titles, lists and headers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Dear list, my publisher forces me to set different things as titles, in headers and table of contents. In some cases \nolist and \nomarking aren't enough. here are my actual definitions: ---- \def\Untertitel#1{\blank[3pt]{\ss\bf #1}\blank} % ok \def\Titel#1#2{{\nohyphens\chapter{#1}\Untertitel{#2}}} % ok \def\KomplexTitel#1#2#3{{\writetolist[chapter]{#3}\nohyphens\title{#1}\U ntertitel{#2}}} ---- with ---- \start \setupheadertexts[][manual entry][part][] % normally defined as [][chapter][part][] \KomplexTitel{Main chapter title}{chapter subtitle}{toc entry} Much text \stop % of other headertext ---- Real life example: \start \setupheadertexts [][Vorwort][][] \KomplexTitel{Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf}% {Vorwort von Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott}% {Vorwort Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott:\\Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf} ... Now there stay two issues: 1. I'd like to get a four-parameter command that can set the header text also. 2. I must get a line feed into the toc, but neither \\ nor \crlf works. Please help! Thanks.

startappendices creates an extra empty page
by Rob van Swol 10 Jul '04

10 Jul '04

Hi, When is use \startappendices \stopappendices to create appendices, I get an extra empty page. Is there a way to solve this? If I put another chapter after the \stopappendices statement, then there is no empty page. See the following test: \setupoutput[pdftex] \starttext \chapter[]{Chapter} This a chapter \section[]{Section} This a section \startappendices \chapter[]{Appendix} This the appendix \stopappendices % \chapter[]{extra} % This extra \stoptext Any suggestions?

m-bib sorting, etc.
by Bruce D'Arcus 26 May '04

26 May '04

Another question on m-bib: Is it possible to get the bib list alphabetized? Or is the only way this can work if the bib file itself is so, and I use the bbl sort option? Also, I am getting some weird vertical spacing in the list (like extra blank space between a couple of entries). Is there any suggested workaround for this? Bruce

Typo in d-en-all.tex
by John Culleton 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

I uncovered an ancient typo. Here is a text fragment from the above document: \ShowSample {001} {A simple document} \ShowSample {002} {Setting up the page} \ShowSample {003} {Using the margin} \ShowSample {004} {Adaptive headers and footers} \ShowSample {004} {Some bookmarks} The 004 file is called twice, and the 005 file is omitted. Sounds like a case for 007 :-) John Culleton

Bug in Enumerations
by Slawek Zak 30 May '03

30 May '03

There is a bug in enumerations' implementation. The following example is nearly literally taken from english ConTeXt manual (cont-eni.pdf, p. 224) See this example: \defineenumeration[step] [location=left,text={},width=2em] \setupenumerations[step] [headstyle=bold] \setupenumerations[substep][headstyle=slanted] \starttext \step One \par \substep Two \par \stoptext The headstyle for substep is bold, just like for step, and not slanted as stated in the manual. Help, please :) /S PS: Hans, are there any chances to get the new beta with backgrounds' recalculation bug fixed? Latest beta is from before BachoTeX ;)

Math and Bibliography Problems
by Adam Tee 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi, I'm new to context and am having a few problems. When I try to process the following $0 \stackrel{4}{\rightarrow}$ I get ! Undefined control sequence. Is there support for stackrel or is there an alternative. Also, I'm having problems with generating a bibliography with context an bibtex. As bibtex only utilises the .aux file and context does not seem to output one. What is the solution. Thanks Adam

weird " [preference] " appearing with \splitfloat
by Sebastian Rooks 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hi Contexters, I would like to use the \splitfloat command (see the test sample attached) as in http://ml-archives.mini.pw.edu.pl/ntg-context/msg02441.html But how do I get rid of the word " [preference] " which appears just before the table ? I am using the latest stable (ver 2003.03.11) with miktex 2.3 Any idea ?
