Indexing problem---not
by JOHN CULLETON 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

I think the curious string of numbers mentioned earlier are actually related to footnotes. The author for whatever reason prefers endnotes instead of true footnotes, and specified them in a block after all the chapters. So I defined footnotes thus: \setupfootnotes[location=none] so that I could generate the endnote numbers thus \footnote{} at the correct places in the text. Apparently Context stores these blank footnotes up and puts them at the end, even though [location=none] is specified. {location=high] doesn't seem to help either. So I will force them onto a blank page and strip off that page. This problem arose when I added an index to the end so I fell into the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Sorry about that. The problem with page ranges in an index remains however. So I have come up with a kludge so that I can use my old reliable makeindex: \newwrite\ind \immediate\openout\ind=book.idx \input idx.tex \def\sidx#1{\write\ind{\\indexentry{#1}{\the\pageno}}} No one seems to be able to make eplain.tex work with Context so this is the best I can do in a hurry.

header labels
by Thomas A. Schmitz 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

Hi all, I've just hit some rather interesting interaction. I wanted my sections numbered A. Title, B. Title etc. This works, unless I choose language [deo]. Here's a short test document that demonstrates the behavior: \mainlanguage[de] \setupsection[section][conversion=A] \setuplabeltext[section={{},{.~}}] \starttext \section{Number One} dummy \section{Number Two} dummy \section{Number Three} dummy \stoptext If you replace language[deo] with language[de], things work as expected. Any explanation for this behavior? Best Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] ! Unable to make mpx file.
by Steve MC Han 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

I was wondering if you could give me some direction. I'm having this error message in doing metapost. ! Unable to make mpx file. l.78 label.bot(btex $\hbox{\sf Rectangle}$ etex, (0,-.6u)); I looked through internet and found this site, http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2002/000272.html which describes exactly the same error messages. Is there any solution for this? I didn't have any problem with exactly the same file before installed TexLive 2007. If you have some solution to give, I would appreciate it very much. --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo!

figure bases (2nd)
by Peter Rolf 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

hi, i'm tired of fixing \dogetfigurefilename in every new version. i have already shown that there is something wrong with it in my mail from 17.01.2007 http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070117.153030.344c6989.en.html i don't say, that i understand the complex code for figure inclusion, but it is obvious that the following code is at least questionable. (taken from x-fig-00.tex and x-res-04.tex) \def\dogetfigurefilename#1% {\ifx\figurefilename\empty \bgroup \xdef\figurefilebasepath{#1}% \assignfullfilename{#1}\figurefilebase\to\filename \expanded{\processXMLfilegrouped{\filename.xml}}% \ifx\figurefilename\empty\else % ^^^^^^ % is already tested in the prior \ifx test; if it's not changed % in the meantime...(\filename?) % \globallet\figurefilebase\figurefilebase % ^^^^^^ % does *nothing* (\filename works for me) \fi \egroup \fi} i have worked with a patched version for the last two month and had no (more) problems with figure inclusion. without it the pdf figure base is not found, although the corresponding xml file (which is found) is in the same directory. any comments are welcome. greetings, peter

Hello, what is the meaning of the "inbetween" option to \definedescription ? In the following example, there seems to be no effect: \definedescription[Test][inbetween={\blank[5*big]}] \starttext \startTest{bla} bla \stopTest \startTest{bla} bla \stopTest \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

\em in typing environment
by David Arnold 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

All, I have: \startMatlab function output=primary(input) statements---including subfunction calls % first subfunction function out=one(in) statements % second subfunction function out=two(in) statments \stopMatlab Where: \definetyping[Matlab] \setuptyping [Matlab] [before={\startframedtext[width=\textwidth, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.9]}, after={\stopframedtext}, indentnext=no, color=darkred] I'd like to override the monotype and make one line emphasized, as in: \startMatlab function output=primary(input) {\em statements---including subfunction calls} % first subfunction function out=one(in) statements % second subfunction function out=two(in) statments \stopMatlab Which of course doesn't work but it does give an idea of what I want to try. Any ideas?
