sections, subsections, indenting, startnarrower, alignment
by afsmith 26 May '09

26 May '09

I do not understand what you mean. Could you explain? I stopped trying to use sections because I read somewhere in the archives that sections cannot be used 'recursively' like this. I have instead been trying to use definitions. With regards to other approaches, I have been trying to use several different dimensions to solve this problem but none of them seem to work as expected inside the head of a definition inside a "narrowed", such as \localhsize and \makeupwidth, which mangle things in unexpected ways. Can anyone tell me however if there is some dimension that corresponds to the local amount of indentation (made with narrower)? -A > Wouldn't be easier to achieve this using section personalized section > numbering ? > > Best, > Amaël > > > Le vendredi 22 mai 2009 à 14:40 -0700, afsmith a écrit : > > Hi again ntg-context. > > > > I have been working on my own CV/Resume module.

define an incremental personal bullet of item
by polytope 26 May '09

26 May '09

Dear all, I'd like to use "circled number 1", "circled number 2", ... as bullets of itemized block. There is an explanation how to define a personal bullet in the manual. For each \item the same bullet is used. But I want bullets automatically changed to the next character in unicode table. (For example, the command "\startitemize[n]" displays next number as a bullet when the command "\item" is issued. ) Is there a way to do that? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

rsync error
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hello, I've been happily using a fairly old version of Context for a while (ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.05 18:47 MKII fmt: 2008.11.14 int: english/english) but decided that I perhaps ought to try to update to something more modern. I tried to get the minimals for Windows by downloading context-setup-mswin.zip, unzipping it to a new directory and running first-setup.bat from a command window. On the output in the command window, I get a number of rsync error messages, the first of which is: rsync: failed to connect to contextgarden.net: Connection timed out (116) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [receiver=3.0.2] followed by lots of other warnings and errors and ultimately failure!

IV. Talking and Tweaking
by Piotr Kopszak 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hello, I finally decided to learn lua and start making use of it in ConTeXt. I was quite excited to find examples of interfaces in the fourth part of "A New Kind of TeX" paper. It would be really useful if someone could give examples how they could actually be used, at least some of them e.g. command.insert, command.hbox, command.vbox, tex.parindent I think it would also be quite useful to propose a limited set of most useful interfaces, something like the Top Ten ConTeXt commands. Is it possible at all? All Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl
