Help with LaTeX -> ConTeXt & book typesetting
by Ulrich Dirr 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

Hi, I'm recently trying to get ConTeXt typesetting my books like with LaTeX before (or better). But I can't solve some problems ... Maybe someone can assist me? o How do I get the chapter number into the heading? I've tried \setupheader[before=\viii,style=normal] \setupheadertexts[chapter] but this only puts the chapter title into the heading o How can I get something similar to LaTeX? \fancyhead[C]{% {\sffamily\footnotesize \leftmark \pdef\next{\rightmark}% \ifx\next\empty\else\ \textbullet\ \rightmark\fi}% } which will put the chapter mark centered in the headings, and if there is a sectionmark then a bullet & sectionmark too. o How can I typeset the chapter title across both columns in a two-column setup? o How can I tell ConTeXt the distance between columns? Or should I define only the columnwidth? How? My first defintion looks like \setuplayout[width=358dd,lines=46,topspace=11mm,backspace=17mm, margin=0cm,marking=on,location=middle,grid=yes,header=12bp, headerdistance=18bp,footer=12bp,footerdistance=11mm] o How can I tell ConTeXt to balance the last page? I've tried something like \definecolumnset[two][n=2,tolerance=tolerant,distance=12bp] \setupcolumnset [two][balance=yes] but this doesn't work. o Is it possible to setup a project using only didot (or bp) point measurements? How? Especially I want a interline space in dd or bp which is flexible like \setupinterlinespace[line=1.25\bodyfontsize] but uses dd or bp. o I've tried to setup the typographical correct quotation marks for german in the file cont-sys.tex \setuplanguage [de] [leftquote=\rightsubguillemot, leftquotation=\rightguillemot, rightquote=\leftsubguillemot, rightquotation=\leftguillemot] When using it, e.g., \quotation{all right \quote{there} we go} and using \showstruts I got marks at strange places |»all right |there| we go|« Should this be corrected somewhere? o How do I get character protruding and font expansion? (I didn't find the latter in the manual) o I've tried to use my fontinst installation of HelveticaNeueLT in the main document with \usetypescriptfile [type-NeueHelvetica] \usetypescript [usw][NeueHelveticaLT] \setupbodyfont [NeueHelveticaLT, ss, 9.5pt] (first I tried 9.5dd but these doesn't showed any effect) with type-NeueHelvetica.tex: \starttypescript [sans] [NeueHelvetica] [\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLight] [lhnj8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLightItal] [lhnji8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Thin] [lhna8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-ThinItalic] [lhnai8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Light] [lhnl8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-LightItalic] [lhnli8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] [lhnr8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] [lhnri8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Medium] [lhnm8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-MediumItalic] [lhnmi8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] [lhnb8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [lhnbi8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Heavy] [lhnh8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-HeavyItalic] [lhnhi8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Black] [lhnc8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BlackItalic] [lhnci8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldOutline] [lhnbl8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [NeueHelvetica] [name] \definefontsynonym [SansBlack] [HelveticaNeueLT-Black] \definefontsynonym [SansBlackItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-BlackItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansHeavy] [HelveticaNeueLT-Heavy] \definefontsynonym [SansHeavyItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-HeavyItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansMedium] [HelveticaNeueLT-Medium] \definefontsynonym [SansMediumItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-MediumItalic] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansLight] [HelveticaNeueLT-Light] \definefontsynonym [SansLightItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-LightItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansThin] [HelveticaNeueLT-Thin] \definefontsynonym [SansThinItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-ThinItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansUltraLight] [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLight] \definefontsynonym [SansUltraLightItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLightItal] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldOutline] [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldOutline] \definefontsynonym [SansTitling] [SansBoldOutline] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [usw] [NeueHelveticaLT] \definetypeface [NeueHelveticaLT] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definetypeface [NeueHelveticaLT] [ss] [sans] [NeueHelvetica] [default] [rscale=1.00375,encoding=\defaultencoding] \definetypeface [NeueHelveticaLT] [tt] [mono] [default] [default] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \stoptypescript I didn't find a way to get dd or bp, so I tried rscale ... The first ad hoc try with %\starttypescript [usw] [NeueHelveticaLT] [size] % \definebodyfont % [4bp,5bp,6bp,7bp,8bp,9bp,10bp,11bp,12bp,14bp,18bp] % [ss] [sans] [NeueHelvetica] %\stoptypescript didn't work. And maybe there I need something for protruding and font expansion? (I have to admit that I don't understand the whole font handling in ConTeXt!) o Does there exist some support for RCS? In LaTeX I've used \RequirePackage[nofancy]{rcsinfo} and then I put in the page area of the crop marks: on top 'Art \& Satz \raise.5pt\hbox{\textbullet} Ulrich Dirr\hfill Seite »\thepage« \the\count1\ von \numpages' and on bottom <project specific info>\hfill \rcsInfoFile\ Rev.\rcsInfoRevision\hfill \the\day.\the\month.\the\year\ \printtime How can I put these information on the page? Should I use something you called 'Logo types' in the manual or something like layers? o Where are the command parameters fully explained? (Even in the manual they are just listed but not explained.) o In lang-ger.tex you defined "ck with \discretionary{k-}{k}{ck}. But on the other hand dehyphn.tex is used which is the new german hyphenation table. Then 'ck' will no longer be hyphenated like k-k. Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance Ulrich Dirr

\defineenumeration broken in alpha

Hans, either \defineenumeration is broken in , or I always used it incorrectly: \defineenumeration[definition] [sectionnumber=chapter, text=Definition, location=hanging, way=bychapter] \starttext \startdefinition Test \stopdefinition \stoptext I get definition[]Definition 0 Test but used to get Definition 1 Test regards, Christopher Creutzig

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt and Aleph

Hi, as there seemed to be interactions between ConTeXt that comes with TeXLive and the recent one I've installed, I finally deleted EVERYTHING and started anew. -> I installed TeXLive on a WinXP - without the ConTeXt option. -> I copied the saved texec.exe in TeXLive's /bin folder -> I installed bin-aleph-1.15--2.2--RC2-win32.zip from CTAN -> I executed the following comands: mktexlsr fmtutil --all mktexlsr texexec --make --all --alone --tex=aleph mktexlsr texexec alephtest1.tex --tex=aleph --output=dpx But again it failed and ended in "*". There ought to be people out there who got Aleph (+ConTeXt) working. How did you do that? Could someone please have a look and tell what is wrong?

How to implement a changing navigation bar?
by Stefan Wachter 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hi all, I use an overlay to implement a navigation bar in the left margin of a document. It seems to me that the processing of the overlay is done only once and not for every page again. In addition, the \lastpage is not available. Does anyone know a solution? Maybe headers/footers are a solution. But how is absolute positioning accomplished with them? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan PS: Here is my current implementation: \definelayer[navbar] \setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=navbar] \setlayer[navbar][x=0cm,y=10cm]{\the\pageno}

Part number in formula numbers?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hello, what I'm trying to achieve is a way to have formula numbers contain the part number together with the chapter number, as in: a = b (part.chapter.formula) instead of a = b (chapter.formula) which is what you have by default, or a = b (part.formula) which is the only alternative I manage to obtain. How can I do it? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

{ or } is not matched
by wei jm 23 Sep '04

Hi, All I always get the error message while compiling the following simple code \usemodule[pre-01] \starttext \Topic{Eins} \Subject{Eins} \Topic{Zwei} \Subject{Zwei} \Topic{Drei} \Subject{Drei} \stoptext The error message looks like ! Argument of \dogettwopassdata has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \actualshipout ... -1in \hbox {\setbox 0=\hbox {#1 }\setbox \scratchbox =\hbo... \myshipout ...ut {\thisisrealpage {\realfolio }#1} \fi \gotonextrealpage \nap... \dofinaloutput ...pagebody #1#2\setpagecounters }} \fi \the \everyaftershipou... \finaloutput ...ifgeselecteerd \dofinaloutput #1#2 \else \donofinaloutput #1#... ... l.6 \Subject{Eins} ? h Whey I type h, I get the following information I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything. For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the root of the problem. But if your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away. But the problem is every } is matched, there is no extra } or { which is not matched. I am totally confused :-(.
