setuphead
by Steffen Wolfrum 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, I was sure it should be quite standard, but I couldn't figure our how to set a heading like this: "Chapter label/number" (centered,small,italic) (linebreak) "Chapter titel" (centered,bigger,bold) Is there a command=... to be written, or could it be achieved by combining the various options that setuphead has predefined?

All - I have a small block which creates a "DRAFT" watermark as the page background: % Create "Draft" watermark for later use \doifmode{draft}{ % Put a "DRAFT" watermark in Sun Blue \defineoverlay[Draft][{\sunbluet \scale[factor=max]{\rotate[rotation=60]{~DRAFT~}}}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=Draft] } % End watermark Is there a way I can put it into a "setup" or "command" so I can turn it on/off by page/section? -- Mark Almeida mark.almeida(a)sun.com Solutions Architect (707)398-9524/x81132 Sun Client Solutions (707)429-0341 Home Office (707)480-5038 Cell

TOC and "Contents" entry
by The Wizard 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

All - Although the manual seems to imply that \completecontent will include the "Contents" page entry itself in the TOC, it does not. I would like the "Contents" page itself to be included, in both the table of contents, and the navigation entries in the generated pdf output. I normally set it up like this: \completecontent[alternative=c,pagestyle=slanted,interaction=pagenumber] Pretty simple, but it doesn't do what I'd really like. The other style \placecontent[alternative=c,pagestyle=slanted,interaction=pagenumber] doesn't do what I want either. Is there an additional option that I'm missing. I'd like something like <page header> Contents Contents..............................................................iii Section 1.............................................................1 etc.... <page footer> Can I get this with either \completecontent or \placecontent, or will I have to use some other method?

whitespace
by Hans van der Meer 31 Jul '06

Why does \startframedtext does not honor the outside setting by \setupwhitespace? And do I have to use inner? Here follows a minimal example \starttext \setupwhitespace[big] line1\par line2\par % next no big space between the lines \startframedtext line1\par line2\par \stopframedtext % next has big space between the lines \startframedtext[inner={\setupwhitespace[big]}] line1\par line2\par \stopframedtext \stoptext Hans van der Meer

Russian letters transliterated
by Arkady Shraer 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hello, I updated ConTeXt as in "updating context on Ubuntu 6.06" post and it worked, moreover I got russian hyphenation working out of the box. But I have a little problem: all my cyrillic letters displayed as transliterated latin letters (or letter codes). What should I do in this case? Arkady

Bug in ctxtools --documentation
by Aditya Mahajan 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi Hans, ctxtools.rb says that %D is the documetation marker. However, while matching it uses when /^[%\#]D/io then Doesn't /i stand for ignorecase, which means that %d is also matched? Is this a bug or a feature? Try generating documentation of core-fnt.tex for an interesting manifestation of this. You have %def\uppercased#1{{\forceunexpanded\xdef\@@globalcrap{\uppercase{#1}}}\@@globalcrap} %def\lowercased#1{{\forceunexpanded\xdef\@@globalcrap{\lowercase{#1}}}\@@globalcrap} %d gets matched, %de gets deleted and the following is written in core-fnt.ted \startdocumentation f\uppercased#1{{\forceunexpanded\xdef\@@globalcrap{\uppercase{#1}}}\@@globalcrap} f\lowercased#1{{\forceunexpanded\xdef\@@globalcrap{\lowercase{#1}}}\@@globalcrap} \stopdocumentation when context processes this it complains ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \@@expanded. <to be read again> } \uppercased ... \xdef \@@expanded {\uppercase {#1} }}\@@expanded l.251 f\uppercased# 1{{\forceunexpanded\xdef\@@globalcrap{\uppercase{#1}}}\@@... ? !

calling texmfstart from perl in context distribution
by David Arnold 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

All, I have cdwincontext installed and I am trying to run texmfstart from a perl script on windows. I tried associating file extension .rb with the ruby that comes with the context distro. Am I missing something here? #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $os; if ($^O =~ /darwin/i || $^O =~ /linux/i) { $os = 'nix'; } else { $os = 'win'; } my $TMS; if ($os eq 'nix') { $TMS='/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ texmfstart.rb'; } elsif ($os eq 'win') { $TMS = 'c:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\scripts\context \ruby\texmfstart.rb'; } opendir my $dirH, '.'; while ($_ = readdir $dirH) { next if $_ =~ /^\.+/; next unless $_ =~ /^section\d+figs\.tex$/; for my $run ('first','second') { print "Processing file $_ ($run run)\n"; `$TMS texexec $_`; } } closedir $dirH;
