Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

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.

critical editions in context
by Thomas A.Schmitz 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Sorry if this is a double post; I sent this message on Friday, and I think it somehow got lost. In March/April 2002, Hans and Idris had an interesting exchange about the topic "critical editions in context" here in ntg-context; the main question was whether the functionality of edmac could be implemented in context. I'd be curious to know whether anything came out of it, I couldn't find any follow-up. Best Thomas

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

\index + \definedescription
by Pavel Stupin 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

Hello, In my document, I have a description defined in this way: \definedescription[DictEntry][headstyle=bold,location=serried,width=broad] I use the DictEntry description like this: ***************************************************************** \startDictEntry{Walters, Barbara (1931- )} a US television journalist known especially for her series Barbara Walters Special... \stopDictEntry \startDictEntry{Waterhouse, Keith (1929- )} an English journalist and writer of novels and plays... \stopDictEntry \startDictEntry{West, Rebecca (1892-1983)} an English writer and journalist. She wrote many novels... \stopDictEntry ... etc. ***************************************************************** What I would like to do is to automatically create an \index{} for every DictEntry so that every entry then appear in the register. Probably, I should use 'between' parameter when defining my DictEntry description, but I'm confused with what should be the proper argument in 'between=\index{???}. I would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance. Best, Pavel.

\doifnextcharelse problem
by Nikolai Weibull 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

It seems that I can't get \definecomplexorsimpleempty to work right. The command I define works fine unless the simple version is called, in which case the first character in the body of the command is checked \doifnextcharelse[... which thus fails but in some manner eats it (even though it is output). The problem with the \doifnextcharelse is that the character it checks against is \catcode'd to \@@active, but it won't work when the character has been checked. Is there any way to fix this? I understand if my problem isn't that clear, so I've attached the module. The idea is to be able to write \startbnfgrammar <exp>: <num>. <num>: "0";"1". \stopbnfgrammar and this is then typeset as a table, but currently you're forced to write \startbnfgrammar[] <exp>: <num>. <num>: "0";"1". \stopbnfgrammar or the first < in <exp> gets eaten by \doifnextcharelse and the \def<{... won't be called causing problems down the line when the > is encountered, which expands into a \egroup which stops tex as there is no matching \bgroup. Now, is there any way to get \doifnextcharelse to properly deal with \catcode'd characters (such as my <) that it encounters when looking for other characters (such as the [ for optional arguments to commands)? I'd really like to resolve this, so any comments or tips are appreciated. Second, is there any good reference to programming TeX? I mean, one can figure out most stuff from reading CONTEXT's source for example, but it would be great to find out the exact implications of builtins such as \relax and so on. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
