Float captions with hanging indentation
by Jakub Piotr Cłapa 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hello, I am a new ConTeXt user recently switched from LaTeX (with small amounts of raw TeX macrosity) which I used for several years. I was searching the internet, this mailing list and finally the ConTeXt sources to find some information about achieving hanging indentation in captions. The 'hang' option for the 'caption' LaTeX package [1] was my inspiration (you can see an example on the 3 page of the linked manual). The only thing I could find was an old reply from Taco Hoekwater [2] but as he mentions this does not work well. After digging inside the source code of both ConTeXt and caption.sty I managed to hack the \putcompletecaption macro to do what I need. (see below) The changes required are minimal (capture the caption head into a box, remember its width and later set \hangindent and \hangafter while typessing the caption body) so maybe this could go into the main ConTeXt tree? Unfortunately I do not know how to make use of the setup macros so this currently hardcodes the hanging indentation. \unprotect \newdimen\captionhang \def\putcompletecaption#1#2% {\doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spacebefore}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spacebefore]}% % \floatcaptionparameter\c!before % test for side effects first \noindent \xdef\lastcaptiontag{\strut#1}% \dostartattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!style\c!color\empty \setbox0\hbox{% \ifnofloatnumber \else \hbox{\doattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!headstyle\c!headcolor{\strut#1}}% \ifnofloatcaption \else \ifemptyfloatcaption \else \doifelsenothing{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceinbetween} {\scratchskip\floatcaptionparameter\c!distance\relax \dotfskip\scratchskip\emergencystretch.5\scratchskip} {\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceinbetween]}% \fi \fi \fi }% \captionhang=\wd0\unhbox0% \ifnofloatcaption \globallet\lastcaptionht\!!zeropoint \globallet\lastcaptiondp\!!zeropoint \else \doattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!textstyle\c!textcolor {\hangindent=\captionhang\hangafter=1% \xdef\lastcaptionht{\strutheight}% \xdef\lastcaptiondp{\strutdepth}% \begstrut#2\endstrut\endgraf}% \fi \dostopattributes % \floatcaptionparameter\c!after % test for side effects first \doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter]}} \protect [1]: http://www.dd.chalmers.se/latex/Docs/PDF/caption.pdf [2]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/21675/focus=21676 -- regards, Jakub Piotr Cłapa

inserting pdf
by Mohamed Bana 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

hi folks, assuming x.pdf has more than 1 page, this only inserts the first. i'd like to insert all the pages. how would i do that? startTEXpage \externalfigure[x.pdf] \stopTEXpage \externalfigure[x.pdf][page=1-2] doesn't work either. I have to do; \startTEXpage \externalfigure[x.pdf][page=1] \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage \externalfigure[x.pdf][page=2] \stopTEXpage I'm using $ pdftex --version pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.9-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.7) and whatever comes with texlive 2008. regards, Mohamed

composed words and hanging punctuation
by Jeremy Hughes 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi all, Dashes in composed words do not hang when hanging punctuation is used. When a line break falls after `whisky' in this sentence: the repellent whisky|-|craving woman the dash doesn't hang. To make the dash hang I resort to this: the repellent whisky-\allowbreak craving woman Is there a better way? A related question: I want |<| and |>| to allow breaking on either side. \zerowidthspace---\zerowidthspace works when placed directly in the text, but not when used as the definition of `leftsentence' in the `setuplanguage' command. How do I change this behavour? Jeremy

Letter Module: Foldmarks
by Andreas Schneider 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi, for some time now, I try to figure out, how to enable fold marks in the letter module. I tried: \setupletterstyle [option] [marking=on, foldmark=yes, cutmark=yes] All three of them didn't seem to do anything. How are fold marks supposed to be set? Or is this currently not possible at all? Thanks in advance, Andreas.

context MK IV // MK II
by R. Bastian 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hello, i downloaded and unzipped 'cont-tmf.zip'. It seems that the manual http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/minstall.pdf concerns MK II (which I use). Is it possible to install MK IV for studying it - and use MK II ? Thanks, -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org

bib module in ConTeXt MKIV - first cite problem
by Bernhard Rosensteiner 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hello all, following minimal example: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=Grundexkursionen] \setupheadtext[de][pubs=Literaturverzeichnis] \setuppublications[alternative=apa-de, numbering=yes, autohang=yes, refcommand=author] \unprotect\def\scAuthorname#1#2#3#4#5% {\bibdoif{#2}{#2\bibalternative\c!vonsep}% \sc{#3}\bibalternative\c!surnamesep\tf \bibdoif{#5}{#5\bibalternative\c!juniorsep}% \bibdoif{#4}{#4\unskip}} \protect \def\textcite#1{\sc\cite[authoryear][#1]\tf} \def\ccite#1{\cite[authoryears][#1]} \setuppublicationlist[artauthor=\scAuthorname, author=\scAuthorname] \starttext That´s a literature test \ccite{Burrows:2003rm}. Another literature test \textcite{Pareyvogel}. And the last literature test \ccite {Burrows:2003rm}. That´s all. \completepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext when I do it with ConTeXt MKII all is ok, but in ConTeXt MKIV the first \cite (in my example \ccite) always breaks the line after the first left delimiter (when i use refcommand "authorstyles"). Is this a bug? Are there any workarounds? refcommand=num and refcommand=key don ´t break the lines but all others do. Thanks for help. Bernhard Rosensteiner
