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.

Bib module and prefix=+
by Robin Kirkham 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi, How can the bib module and \setuphead[chapter][prefix=+] be made to coexist? The following example works, but if you uncomment the \setuphead, the citations are broken and the reference list vanishes: \setupoutput[pdftex] % uncomment this line and it breaks %\setuphead[chapter][prefix=+] \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database={xampl.bib}] \setuppublications[refcommand=num] % makes no real difference %\setuppublicationlist[title=\chapter] \version[temporary] \starttext \chapter[chapt]{A Chapter} Some citations: \cite[article-full] \cite[inbook-full] \cite[manual- full]. This is chapter~\in[chapt]. \completepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Any help much appreciated! PS: The following old mailing list article appears to describe the same problem, but the symptoms are different (citations disappear, but reference list does not) http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/ 20010516.173217.113e3787.en.html Robin

listings.sty
by Peter Münster 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hello, I suggested to the author of the very feature rich LaTeX-Listings package, Carsten Heinz, to port this package to ConTeXt, and it seems, that he is interested. But before doing it, there are some questions: * What do Hans and other people thing about that? * listings.sty uses keyval.sty, how is the proper ConTeXt-way to do the same things as keyval, or should listings stay with keyval? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

page numbering in words?
by cormullion＠mac.com 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

is it possible to adjust options so as to get page numbering done in words? Eg "one" "two" ..... "eighty-nine" ... "three hundred and sixty seven" ? Or does this require some more work/code?

Math symbols in Gentium
by Kumar Appaiah 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Dear ConTeXt users, I have found Gentium to be a nice free alternative font for my documents. I was wondering why the Greek symbols don't get used in documents which use Gentium. They sem to use the same cmr fonts for the math parts. Is it expected to work that way, or is there a way to get the Gentium symbols? My type-sil-gentium.tex has this line, if that's relevant. \definetypeface[sil-gentium][mm][math][default][default][encoding=\defaultencoding] Thanks.

Vertical text alignment in nested natural tables
by Brian R. Landy 04 Apr '07

04 Apr '07

Hi, I am having a problem using nested natural tables, to which I have a solution but feel that it my not be the proper approach. I'm pretty much a TeX and ConTeXt novice. The problem is that the row height it reduced when a table is nested, breaking vertical text alignment across cells. In my example the cells "SSSSS" and "Swap" to not align vertically due to the presence of the "p". I have an example of the problem and my fix below. I'm curious if someone knows a better way to fix this. Thanks for your help, Brian \starttext Working table:\par \start \bTABLE[frame=on,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD SSSSS \eTD \bTD Swap \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop Nested table changes cell height, breaks text alignment with "lohi":\par \start \bTABLE[frame=on,height=0.50in] \bTR \bTD {\start \bTABLE[frame=on,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD SSSSS \eTD \bTD Swap \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop setting height to baselineskip does not help:\par \start \bTABLE[frame=on,height=0.50in] \bTR \bTD {\start \bTABLE[height=\the\baselineskip,frame=on,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD SSSSS \eTD \bTD Swap \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop One fix is a strut:\par \start \bTABLE[frame=on,height=0.50in] \bTR \bTD {\start \bTABLE[frame=on,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD \strut{SSSSS} \eTD \bTD \strut{Swap} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop \stoptext
