regexp for matching entire footnotes
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Hi, I have to find (highlight) footnotes with the entire footnote being marked/highlighted. Constructing a regexp for this is far beyond what I can write, that's why I frankly ask for help here: The problems are the (potentially) nested pairs of curled brackets (like for \index, \emphasize etc etc) ... \footnote{Vgl. zur Historie \it{Name}, „Staatssekretär\index {Staatssekretär}} ... as the found string shouldn't stop at the first "}" that was found. Somebody knows a syntax that ignores curled bracket pairs *included* in footnotes and really matches the entire note? Steffen

30 Jul '06

Hi, I am confused about the ")" and setupsection or setuphead: What I need is a section that looks like this a) text b) text and a section like this (aa) text (bb) text The conversion is clear but what about ")", resp. "(" before and ")" after the sectionnumber. How and where is this called? Steffen

sorting commalist?
by Hans van der Meer 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

In the article "Context System macros, part1: general macros" there are all sorts of interesting and useful macros. Among these I have set my eye on the processing of commalists. Question: is there a context macro that takes a commalist (either in a token register or \the\tokenregister form) that returns a sorted commalist (ascending or descending doesnt matter to me for the moment). If someone will be so kind to point one out to me. A scan through the sources didn't bring an obvious candidate to my attention although I feel there must be one, but I may overlooking it.

After \def\Example{example} \Word{\Example} gives example So I need \expanded{\Word{\Example}} to get Example but \WORD{\Example}} does give EXAMPLE I did not expect that. Is this the intended behaviour? Hans van der Meer

Hi Aditya, >Vit Zyka posted some notes on an impressive book layout that he did a >while ago. >http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060525.084738.3f1d8e4a.en.html<http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060525.084738.3f1d8e4a.en.html> Thanks for the pointer. That is a good example. >The magazines use s-mag-01.tex for layout. Most magazines of pragma >website have the "source code" at the end of the magazine.

You can browse it at >http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals<http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals> >or download the manuals from svn://ctx.pragma-ade.nl/manuals I din't know of this repository. I tried to search all over the site but couldn't find it. So, once again thanks for the pointer. I think that now I have some good material I can study. All the best, Fidel.

section versus subject
by Steffen Wolfrum 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hi, maybe another quite ... basic question: What's wrong about \subject? I assumed that the only difference between \section and \subject is numbering or not. But why does \subject not appear in the TOC (see below)? \starttext \definecombinedlist[content] [section,subject] \completecontent \page \section{section} \subject{subject} \stoptext Thanks, Steffen

Charts, Graphs, Tufte, and ConTeXt
by David Wooten 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Greetings all, I've been itching to stop using "Illustrator" and other programs to make the charts and graphs I wish to include in my ConTeXt-generated documents, and would like to get some advice on the matter. There is a special (albeit not well furnished) place in my heart for Tufte's /"Visual Display of Quantitative Information/", so I suppose I am always leaning towards that philosophy of chart-making. I came across Jean-luc Doumont's article /"Drawing effective (and beautiful) graphs with TeX*" [1]/, in which he refers to his macro package called JLdraw---and shows some pretty examples. JLdraw was in fact never generally released, although when I contacted him he was happy to send along the macro package. In beginning to tinker with them, I have not had much luck getting them to work within ConTeXt, undoubtedly due to my persistent naiveté. Thus I'm curious as to what others use... is R an efficient method to produce elegant charts? Is straight MetaPost preferable? Many thanks, David [1] http://www.tug.org/TUG99-web/pdf/doumont2.pdf
