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. This is a small ap-p li-ca-tion which loads file \hbox(7.63889+2.13889)x398.33858 .\*11ptmmmr* f .\*11ptmmmr* o .\*11ptmmmr* r .\glue(\spaceskip) 3.66628 .\*11ptmmmr* t .etc. Overfull \hbox (8.38132pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* with point and line da-ta and dis-plays it in a win-dow.

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/

presentation module
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Hi all, after some feedback and some more fiddling around, I have now uploaded a first (beta) version of the presentation module. It can be downloaded at the garden: http://modules.contextgarden.net/taspresent It has been improved (at least I hope); in particular, it provides more configurability and a couple of new styles. Have a look and let me know if you like it. (And those to whom I have sent the first version: feedback would still be welcome!) Best Thomas

Hi, all-- Can anyone point me to a realistic example(s) of \setupfootnotedefinition? I think it may help to solve a problem I am working with, but don't understand precisely how to use it. -- Matt Gushee

Re: [NTG-context] extra math symbols and alignment
by WN 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi Aditya Basically I want to include the RSFS font and some user defined symbols from txexa as explained in my previous email. I did some testing with the test code which I send and found the cause of the problem, however no solution yet. The cause of the problem lies in the line where I say \definetypeface[MyFace] [mm] [math] [modern] *[modern] *[encoding=ec] This will enable the user defined symbols and all the math symbols as shown via \showmathcharacters are correct. However all the matrix, mathmatrix environments don't adhere to the aligment I specify except for the first option i.e. when I say \startmatrix[align={right, etc .... }] everything is aligned to the right but the other aligment options are ignored. When I substitute *[modern]* with *[default] *as in \definetypeface[MyFace] [mm] [math] [modern] *[default] *[encoding=ec] In this instance all the aligment as specified in the matrix, mathmatrix environments work. However some of the math symbols like \Delta are incorrect. And my user defined symbols are also incorrect. Hope you can find a solution. Kind regards Wim

Boxed items don't like sidefloats
by Giuseppe Bilotta 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hello all, here's a test document: ================ \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \newbox\testbox \starttext \setbox\testbox\vbox{% \placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{% \framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}% }% \startitemize \item some test \item \input knuth \item \input tufte \stopitemize } \box\testbox \page \setbox\testbox\vbox{% \placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{% \framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}% }% \startitemize \item some test \item \input knuth \item \input tufte \stopitemize } \box\testbox \stoptext ============ As you may notice, items think the placefigure refers to all of them, so that if a particular item is bigger than the figure height, it will wrap correctly around the (inexistent) box, otherwise it will just side it. Interesting, the same thing does *not* happen when not going through a box, but typesetting things directly in the page. However, for my application I need to typeset the sidefloat and the itemization in a box, so I hit the bug ... Suggestions? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
