Feature request: \digits command
by Morgan Brassel 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi everyone, The \digits command is really great when it comes to typeset numbers in different languages. However, I miss one functionality from the numprint package in latex: when you type for example $e-5$, you get 10^{-5} (with no dot in front of it). Would it be possible to add an option to \digits to reproduce this? Best wishes, Morgan

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.

xetex and attachment: troubles
by Andrea Valle 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Dear all, I'm using xetex with fun (as suggested and discussed on the mailing list). I'm revising a previously created document which used attachment command. (the one documented here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ Verbatim_text#A_different_approach_to_formatting_and_code_colorization ) The actual version is here: http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/sw/sc/prd_tSCIRMA_scr.pdf Now, with ConTeXt no problem. If I use XeConTeXt (--> texexec --xtx) the file is not attached (there's the marker, a link is diplayed, but Acrobat says that there's no attachment). As far as I can say, the problem seems to depend on --xtx switch, Any hints?

LuaTeX goes into (what I think is) an endless cycle --- I haven't allowed it to terminate naturaly, as it takes far too long even on a quad core. load otf | warning: Bad pair position: glyphs 0 & 3148 should have been < 2846 load otf | warning: Bad pair position: glyphs 0 & 3250 should have been < 2846 load otf | warning: Bad pair position: glyphs 0 & 3784 should have been < 2846 ...

A few questions about aligned maths
by Morgan Brassel 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi everyone, I read carefully the two 'My Way' from Aditya regarding math alignment (thank you for those, they were extremely useful to me, and should maybe get even more visibility on the wiki), and I have some questions about it: 1) Is there a way to modify interline spacing in 'cases' environment? I find it a bit short when using the displaystyle option. 2) I noticed that the interline spacing is not the same in the 'align' and 'aligned' environment (it's larger in 'align'). Is there a way to make 'aligned' use the spacing of align? It looks better with displaystyle maths. 3) Aditya, I saw your remark in your 'My Way' concerning the 'multline' environment. I must admit I would really be glad to see it appear in ConTeXt! I'm afraid I'm not able to implement it myself... I use it a lot with amsmath: when a formula is just too long for one line, I put it on two with multline. The first part of the formula is left aligned on the first line, and the second part is right aligned on the second line. It seems impossible to get the same result with only 'align'. Would it be difficult to make it available in ConTeXt? Best regards, Morgan

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

Change line spacing of the publication list
by Roy Zuo 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

Hi, I find that when the lines pacing of the text is set by \setupinterlinespace, the line spacing of publication list is not affected at all. I am just wondering if it is possible to change the line spacing of the publication list produced by bibtex to make the article have a uniform look. Thanks in advance. Roy

Feature Request: \startitemize[text]
by Aditya Mahajan 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Hi Hans, I have always found the space at the beginning of each item in \startitemize[text] to be too large. Currently, this is hard coded to be \emwidth plus \intertwordstretch minus \interwordshrink (line 1132 of core-itm.tex with the comment "new per 2006/10/20"). I always end of copying the definition of complexdoitemgroupitem to my private modules and changing the emwidth in the definition to 0.5\emwidth. Can you please keep this key to be configurable with a key (textinbetween)? BTW, any particular reason not to simply say \removeunwantedspaces\space\ignorespaces instead of \removeunwantedspaces\hskip\emwidth\!!plus\interwordstretch\!!minus\interwordshrink\relax \stopitemgroup uses just the first variant. Thanks, Aditya

Labelling figures
by Wolfgang Schuster 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

Hi, what is the best method to add labels to a figure; I want them not only on the figure but their position should be relative to the figure size. I tried start/stopfigure (mentioned as outdated in the source) but the label is not shown. \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] \starttext \startfigure[kuh][cow] \referring(1,1)(1,1)[r:horn] \stopfigure \externalfigure[kuh] \stoptext After this I tried collector and got with a little extra and a box and to dimens what I wanted but it's not very elegant. \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] \starttext \newbox\labelbox \setbox\labelbox\hbox{\externalfigure[cow]} \newdimen\labelwidth \labelwidth \wd\labelbox \newdimen\labelheight \labelheight\ht\labelbox \definecollector[label][state=repeat] \setcollector[label]{\box\labelbox} \setcollector[label][x=.65\labelwidth,y=.75\labelheight]{udder} \placefigure {A labelled cow} {\flushcollector[label]} \stoptext Figurelabel as described in the label manual [1] seem to be the perfect solution but the module was finished :-( Is there not better way to achieve what I want and do I have to live with my second method or could I hope for the future.
