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.

PDF Meta Tags
by Bart C. Wise 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

I received the following message from a publisher: [The PDF generator] you used flattens the file such that is has no meta tags whatsoever. We need the tags that give page separations, page count, header info, etc. How do I get those meta tags enabled? Would setting \interaction[state=start] do what's needed? Running minimals-beta. Thanks, Bart

Page numbering in Adobe Reader
by Zhichu Chen 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi Hans and Taco, Some guy think it's cool to use romannumeral numbers in the preface and so is in the Adobe Reader. I searched the source but apparently it is not provided. I made a very dirty test file so could you make a switch in the \setupinteraction officially? My test file is like: ============================================== \pdfcompresslevel 0 \setupinteraction [state=start, focus=width, page=yes, openaction=firstpage, click＝no, title=TEST, author=Neals, subtitle=Test, keyword={test}] \setupcolors [state=start] \newcount\FrontPageNumbers \setupsubpagenumber[way=bytext,state=start] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \global\FrontPageNumbers=\pagenumber \global\advance\FrontPageNumbers\minusone \setuppagenumber[number=1] \resetsubpagenumber % \setupfootertexts[\the\FrontPageNumbers] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \resetsubpagenumber \stopsectionblockenvironment \def\PageLabels{\pdfcatalog{/PageLabels << /Nums [ 0 << /S /r >> \the\FrontPageNumbers << /S /D >> ] >> >>}} \prependtoks \PageLabels \to \everystoptext \starttext \startfrontmatter % \chapter{Table of Contents} \completecontent[interaction=all] \chapter{Preface} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} % \chapter{Preface} % \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} % \chapter{Preface} % \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Test} \dorecurse{15}{\input tufte\par} \chapter{TestAgain} \dorecurse{15}{\input ward\par} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter Index maybe. \stopbackmatter \stoptext ============================================== A lot of the code to setup the main layout is stolen from Wolfgang :) -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

replacing words by underlines
by Alan Stone 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, In the underneath example, how do you get each word replaced by an underline ? Or, if not possible, underlined word groups with correct underline breaks for multi-line phrases. \def\UnderlineA#1% {\underbars{#1}} \def\UnderlineB#1% {\underbars{\phantom{#1}}} %{\underbar{\phantom{#1}}} \definetextbackground[underline][% location=text, alternative=1, background=, frame=off] \def\UnderlineC{% \groupedcommand {\starttextbackground[underline]} {\stoptextbackground}} \starttext Thus, I came to \UnderlineA{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineA{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineB{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineB{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineC{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineC{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \stoptext Thanks, Alan

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?

substitutions
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Dear gang, Sometimes I use the following for simple substitutions: \defineactivecharacter ' {\otfchar{quoteright}} But is there a more general mechanism to do things \definesubstitution{<string1>}{<string2>} eg \definesubstitution{--}{–} Of course ConTeXt already provides this particular substitution but I'm interested in such a mechanism for more general purposes.
