placing section heads in toc
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Dear gang, This used to work: ================================= \definehead[intro][chapter] \setuphead [intro][numberstyle=normal, number=no, ownnumber=no, incrementnumber=no, continue=no, placehead=yes] \definecombinedlist[mycontent][intro,chapter] \setupcombinedlist [mycontent][alternative=c] \starttext \title{Table of Contents} \placemycontent \intro{Preface} \chapter{Test} \chapter{Test} \stoptext ================================= The \intro head does not appear in the toc unless I first comment "incrementnumber=no", which, of course, ruins the numbering. Is this a bug or is there a new protocol? Both mkiv and mkii diplay the same behavior. using ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.09 Is this a bug? If not, how can I get a non-numbered head into the toc?

Hi community! Please run the attached sample file and see whether you get a correct index. In my case I only get the indicator letters and under each indicator a single letter with page number therafter. Do I miss something? I am running luatex ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.11 11:45 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.11 int: english/english Thanks Willi

Custom Section / Table of contents inside a table
by Demian Gutierrez 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi folks, I'm making a document with a lot of tables. I have templates for all the kinds of tables, so authors only have to use the predefined macros to fill the tables. That is working pretty well, but I still have two little problems. The first one, is that some of the author filled fields in the tables should be part of the content table of the document, but in the filled table itself, they should still look as normal text. To do so, I have defined my own section, this way: \definehead[fieldNameSection][subsection] \setuphead[fieldNameSection][number=no, textstyle=\tfe] And made a table of contents: \definecombinedlist[content][fieldNameSection,myheader,subsection,subsubsection][textstyle=\tf] \setupcombinedlist [content][alternative=c,textstyle=\tf] So if I do: \fieldNameSection{Some Title} And then: \placecontent It works well and shows the entry in the table of contents. But when I do it inside the table macro definition, and then use the macro: \def\bCrudCampo{ \doifnothing{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{CrudCampo}} {\section{Descripción de Campos}} \setvariables[CrudCampo][CrudCampo=FLG] \bgroup \def\bNombreCampoGUI##1\eNombreCampoGUI{ \setvariables[CrudCampo][NombreCampoGUIVAL={##1}] \setvariables[CrudCampo][NombreCampoGUIFLG=FLG] } } \def\eCrudCampo{ \def\keyNombreCampoGUI{Nombre del Campo (GUI):} \setupTABLE[c][1][width=0.2\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=0.8\textwidth] \bTABLE[frame=on] \bTR \bTD {\bf \keyNombreCampoGUI} \eTD \bTD % COMENTED ----------------------------------------------> % \doifelsenothing{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIFLG}} % {\EMPTY}{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIVAL}} % COMENTED ----------------------------------------------> \fieldNameSection{*\getvalue{CrudCampo:NombreCampoGUIVAL}*} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \vskip2mm \egroup } So when I use the \fieldNameSection{*\getvalue{CrudCampo:NombreCampoGUIVAL}*} in the previous code I get nothing but an empty entry in the table of contents (well in fact with the "*" before and after I get just "**"). The entry is shown in the TOC, but I don't see the text, only the dots and the page number. It's like at some point the variable is empty at the moment of generating the table of contents or something like that. I really have not a clue about what I'm doing wrong... The second issue is that the previous commented code: \doifelsenothing{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIFLG}} {\EMPTY}{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIVAL}} Is the best way I've found so far to show an "EMPTY" in one of the table fields when the author forgets to fill a row when using the template. I've tried a lot of combinations of \setvariable, \setvalue, and several \doifSOMETHING, but at this point it only works if the author omits the \bNombreCampoGUI \eNombreCampoGUI pair, but if he puts the commands, but left the content empty, then I don't get "EMPTY" as result in the table and only got an empty string (nothing) and I would like to have the "EMPTY" in both cases. Also I don't like to use the variable NombreCampoGUIFLG, I think it's just a dirty trick, but is the only solution I found so far. Is there a better way to do the empty test there to achieve the desired behavior? Thanks in advance, for any opinion, suggestion, critics or help :-) Best Regards, Demián.

Fontsize
by Ulrich Dirr 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi, is it possible now (with luatex or mkiv) to typeset a document in bp? I've tried \setupbodyfont[9bp] but the resulting pdf uses 8,97bp which means 9pt (TeX points)? Ulrich

Parameters of criterium
by Eric DÉTREZ 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hello again I'm experimenting with menus. I wish to get menu that are "section-sensitive" : in a section I wish a menu with all sections and only subsections of the current section (it hides the other subsections). I imagined that the criterium =xxxxx was the key but I don't get the desired result. Is there any documentation about this parameter ?

release
by Hans Hagen 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Hi, We have a new release (unless severe problems show up, this release will stay for a while). If possible, the next release (oktober) will have an alternative vertical spacing (mkiv only) and a reimplmented sectioning/list/numbering mechanism (mkiv only). There are also new zips of mininmals and cdwincontext. These now match the minimals on the garden. Of course you're strongly advised to use the garden. Of course there will be the usual lot of betas.
