Indent missed after \placefigure[inner]
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, I've asked about this issue already, but probably my cry for help was missed ) After I include a grapichs with \placefigure[inner], the next paragraph is not indented. This looks very strange, because the figure floats at a side, and nothing suggests that new paragraph begins. I'm forced to issue \hskip0.7cm to imitate the indent. With \placefigure[middle], everything is OK because I use some magic setup kindly suggested by Wolfgang: \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] Maybe I should expand this setup with other keywords? Pleaase, see attached image for illustration. This is an excerpt from my code: %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Передбачається використання певної системи одиниць виміру, скажемо, метричної, так що одиниця довжини точно визначена. Відповідність між точками тривимірного евклідового простору і їхніх координат може бути задано або радіусом-вектором \startformula r = \overline {OP} = x{e_x} + y{e_y} + z{e_z}, \stopformula де ${e_x}, {e_y}, {e_z}$ — одиничні вектори осей, або матрицями: координатним рядком $[x, y, z]$ або координатним вектором-стовпцем $ \left| {\matrix{ x \cr y \cr z \cr } } \right|, $ причому координати $х$, $у$ і $z$ точки {\it Р} у цій системі координат задаються як довжини (з відповідним знаком) перпендикулярних проекцій вектора {\it OP} на вектори $i$, $j$ і $k$ (рис.2.4). \placefigure[inner]{ } {\externalfigure[image219.png][scale=900]} \hskip0.7cm У машинній графіці широко застосовуються однорідні координати, які дозволяють {\it n}--мірний об'єкт представити в $(n+1)$--мірному просторі, шляхом додавання ще однієї координати — скалярного множника. Однорідні координати є основними в проективній геометрії, у машинній графіці вони зручний штучний прийом, що дозволяє привести до лінійної форми перспективні зображення. Однорідні координати дають можливість записувати невласні (нескінченно вилучені) точки простору, а також виражати афінні перетворення в зручній матричній формі, уникаючи переповнення розрядної сітки ЕОМ за рахунок нормалізації чисел [2]. P.S. Is there a keyword that produces an indent? (like \makeindent) P.S. If no, how can I specify that I want big horizontal skip instead of a number as in \hskip0.7cm ? Regards, Vyatcheslav

\setuphead and n*serried

Hi friends, I like [n*serried] option very much. Why I cannot use it in \setuphead instead of distance, too? %works \setuphead[subsubject][ alternative=text, style=\bf, distance=0.7ex] %does not work \setuphead[subsubject][ alternative=text, style=\bf, 1*serried] Regards, Vyatcheslav

Drawing vertical and horizontal lines inside a matrix
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, Can I draw vertical and horizontal lines inside a matrix? I get ugly result by underlining and "sidelining" the elements, but what I neeed is to underline the whole row and draw a line next to the whole column. \startformula T = \left[ {\matrix{ a & b & {c |} & p \cr d & e & {f |} & q \cr {\underline h } & {\underline i } & {\underline j |} & r \cr l & m & {n |} & s \cr } } \right].\stopformula The attached picture shows how it looks now.

setupsystem command
by curiouslearn 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

I wanted to bring this to your attention. It seems that setupsystem[random= ] command does not work with MKIV. If I use different numbers for [random= ] option the arrangement of items changes when compiled with MKII but do not change when compiled with MKIV. I tried emailing the above message with my email, but it bounced everytime I sent it. Do you know what might have happened. Thanks.

Actually, "n*serried" works excellent, as in my final setup: \setupitemize[each][1,joinedup,intext,1*serried][indenting={yes,first,big}] Regards, Vyatcheslav

mkiv math delimiters and <|>
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, I have tried to compile an old document (written in mkii times). Among other problems that I yet need to isolate, the following minimal example doesn't want to compile: $\bigl| x \bigr>$ since <|> aren't recognized as candidates for delimiters. There is a workaround of course (using \langle, \rangle, ... instead of <>), but the three characters are just way too handy to use. I suppose that the behaviour in mkii comes from these lines: \definemathcharacter [<] [nothing] [sy] ["68] [ex] ["0A] \definemathcharacter [>] [nothing] [sy] ["69] [ex] ["0B] But I'm not sure where mkiv could be changed. I have tried to use adobename="greater", ... mathspec={ { class="binary", name="gt" }, { class="close", name="rbrace" }, }, but without any success. Mojca

Hello Wolfgang > there had been a question on the list from Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky how to get indented text > inside of itemize Thank you very much! It works like charm now. 1) Will this fix be applied to core files? 2) How can I control the distance between the mark and item text? The space seems too big. Thankfully, Vyatcheslav

footnote-number-alignment
by Achim Jander 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, after struggling some weeks to get everything to work, i'm now nearly satisfied with typsetting via context. But there is one problem left for that i cant find any solution, even after googling for hours. I am typesetting documents with a large amount of footnotes, and want to have the footnote-number aligned to the correct decimal place. The footnotes appear in an "numbered-list" style. To explain: page one has footnotes 1 to 8, numbers are left-aligned, everything is good ----- 1 footnotetext 2 footnotetext 3 footnottext .... 8 footnotetext page two has footnotes 9 to 12, so I want to have 9 footnotetext 10 footnotetext ... but i only get: 9 footnotetext 10 foootnotextex. I think, there is no easy solution, but maybe someone can give me a push to the direction how i can realize that behaviour (btw same problem is with numbered lists, and to make it really complicated, i do need the behaviour even with multicolumn footnotes) Any hint is welcome, Thanks a lot Achim Jander

itemize / text indent
by Wolfgang Schuster 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hi, there had been a question on the list from Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky how to get indented text inside of itemize and after i spent a few hours on this problem the answer is it's not possible. His example (simplified from me) was: \setupindenting[yes,big] \starttext text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \startitemize[text][indenting={yes,first,big}] \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \stopitemize text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \stoptext and as you can see the second and all following items are indented but this has nothing to do with indenting and is a side effect of the 'text' option which is meant for inline items where no blank line is expected between the '\item'’s because the should be all in the same paragraph as in: \setupindenting[yes,big] \starttext text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \startitemize[text] \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \stopitemize text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \stoptext Even tough the 'text' option is wrong here (because 'joinedup' gives the same output but without indentation) we should take care of this and insert the distance between the items only in horizontal mode. To do so change in the definition for \complexdoitemgroupitem the following line: \else \ifconditional\textlistitem % was bugged: \inlinelistitem \removeunwantedspaces\hskip\emwidth\!!plus\interwordstretch\!!minus\interwordshrink\relax % new per 2006/10/20 \else \iteminbetweencommand \fi \fi to \else \ifconditional\textlistitem % was bugged: \inlinelistitem \ifhmode \removeunwantedspaces\hskip\emwidth\!!plus\interwordstretch\!!minus\interwordshrink\relax % new per 2006/10/20 \fi \else \iteminbetweencommand \fi \fi and while we already change this make the space between the items changeable, e.g. with (old feature request in the list archive) \else \ifconditional\textlistitem % was bugged: \inlinelistitem \ifhmode \processaction [\getitemparameter\currentitemlevel\c!space] [ \v!none=>\let\textitemdistance\zeropoint, \s!unknown=>\assignvalue\commalistelement\textitemdistance{.5\interwordspace\!!plus.5\emwidth}{\interwordspace\!!plus\emwidth}{\emwidth\!!plus\interwordstretch\!!minus\interwordshrink}]% \removeunwantedspaces\hskip\textitemdistance\relax \fi % new per 2006/10/20 \else \iteminbetweencommand \fi \fi The next point is to enable the indenting parameter which isn't functioning at all because at the start of each item command (\dolistitem) a \noindent command prevents it from working. One way to fix is to replace \noitem with \checkindentation\ifindentation\indent\else\noindent\fi and \indentationfalse to startitemgroup. When these changes are done one could indent the text in itemize with: \setupindenting[yes,big] \starttext text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \startitemize[joinedup,intext][indenting={yes,first,big}] \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \stopitemize text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text \stoptext Wolfgang

problem with mathaligned in MkIV
by Chen Shen 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hi all, I was using the following macro from Aditya's Mathalign "My Way". It worked great with MkII and old versions of MkIV. However, it failed in recent versions of MkIV (e.g. 2009.11.2). Apparently, the \makesectionnumber and \rawreference macros have be removed. I wonder if anyone can give pointers on how to fix this. Thanks a lot. best regards, shenchen %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% begin %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\def\placesubformulawithnumber{% \dodoubleempty\doplacesubformulawithnumber} \def\doplacesubformulawithnumber[#1][#2]%#2 gobbles spaces {\incrementnumber[formula] \makesectionnumber[formula] \iffirstargument \rawreference{for}{#1}{\composedsectionnumber} \fi\placesubformula} \placesubformulawithnumber \startformula \startalign \NC a_1 x + b_1 y \NC = c_1 \NR[+][a] \NC a_2 x + b_2 y \NC = c_2 \NR[+][b] \stopalign \stopformula %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% end %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
