Conditional commands
by Andreas Schneider 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi, I'm currently trying to make a command that outputs different text depending on the situation it has been called, but I'm absolutely stuck there (I'm not very familiar with TeX, so it's probably obvious to most of you :-/). It currently looks like this: \doassign[mycite][last=] \def\mycite[#1]{% \footnote{% \doifelse{\mycitelast}{#1}{Ebenda}{\cite[alternative=data][#1]}% } \doassign[mycite][last=#1] } The idea is as follow: if I cite the same citation two or more times in a row (e.g. Some text\mycite[chan_genetic_2005] ... more text\mycite[chan_genetic_2005]) it should only output the whole quotation the first time, and "Ebenda" all the other times. But as it seems, the \doifelse always evaluates to false and therefore outputs the whole citation every time. Does someone see what I might be doing wrong? Or is there even a better way to do this? Thanks, Andreas.

Example of passing unexpanded text between \startfoo ... \stopfoo into Lua?
by Kevin D. Robbins 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi Hans and others, I've been searching the mailing list and source code for one or more examples of passing unexpanded text appearing between a \startfoo ... \stopfoo block into Lua, but without luck. Is there such an example you could point me to? A colleague and I are experimenting with strategies to implement a literate programming module for ConTeXt, and we'd like to have something like \startcodeblock[language=c,file=foo.c, etc.][blockname] // This is the main routine... int main() { return 0; } \stopcodeblock We would appreciate any thoughts you have about how to implement such a module. Thanks, Kevin

Re: [NTG-context] figure captions in the margin
by Richard Weickelt 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hello, I want to have captions for figures, listings and other stuff inside the document margin. I saw that somone asked a very similar question 3 years ago: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20061025.211202.c2e04f8c.en.html > > Does somebody know whether it is possible and how it is possible to > > place the caption of a figure in the margin? > > > yes, actually i implemented this last week but i need to update the details manual; captions can go in margins, hang in centered figures, there is support for all kind of inner/outer alignments etc Hans said, that he had already implemented that feature, but in fact it still doesn't work. So the code \setupcaptions[location=outermargin] \starttext \placefigure{Caption}{\framed{Figuur}} \stoptext still prints no caption at all. Am I missing something? Thank You. Best regards Richard

Can't change typeface without type size
by Maurício 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

This seems to be a small bug. This works well: %%%% \usetypescript[pagella] \usetypescript[chorus] \setupbodyfont[pagella,22pt] \starttext Text on body font. { \switchtobodyfont[chorus,21pt] Text on special typeface. } \stoptext %%%% However, if I either remove '21pt' from \switchtobodyfont or just change it to '22pt' (i.e., no change from body font size) I don't get text for the other font. (This is not specific to pagella and chorus, I've checked this same problem with all other combinations I tried. I'm using latest version in minimals, i.e., did 'sh first-setup.hs' just half an hour ago.) Best, Maurício

spanish tilde-n lost
by Ciro Soto 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi all, I finally got around the intallation of context minimals. Thank you for those who helped. I ran my old tex files (in spanish) and found that \~n is not working now. It should create an n with a tilde on top, but what happens is that there is no letter printed at all. What is the fix for this? Any switch? (I know I could use \char but I am looking for a more elegant solution) thank you Ciro

Footnotes in multiple columns broken
by Khaled Hosny 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

The 'n=' option to \setupnote doesn't have any effect, more ever 'n=0' will give an "Arithmetic overflow" error. Minimal example: \setupnote[footnote][n=0] \starttext This\footnote{one} and this\footnote{two} and this\footnote{three}. \stoptext Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

Why no page numbering here?
by Gerben Wierda 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Question. With \definetyping[SQL][option=color,numbering=line,bodyfont=9pt] \defineoverlay[ifsqoverlay][\overlayfigure{IfSQ-overlay.pdf}] \setuplayout[leftmargin=10mm,rightmargin=0mm,footer=0mm,header=5mm] \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][a4,landscape] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=ifsqoverlay] \setuptyping[SQL][palet=colorpretty] \setuppagenumbering[location=inleft] \def\typeSQLfile{\typefile[SQL]} \starttext why do I not see page numbers? Has this to do with my margins (I need to use as much space on the page as possible)? Thanks, G

add layer to page
by Thomas A. Schmitz 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Hi all, I have a vague memory that there was a message (by Wolfgang Schuster?) about this a couple of months ago, but I'm unable to find anything in the archives. What I want: add a layer on top of the current page. This page is created with the simpleslides-module, so it already contains several layers. I want something on top of all that, and I seem to remember that there was some option to say "typeset the current layers + this additional one." Can somebody help my memory? All best Thomas

Referencing Broken in MKIV?
by Tad Ashlock 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

From <http://texshow.contextgarden.net/> (\reference): \starttext See page \ref[p][myref 1] and \ref[p][myref 2]. \page \reference[myref 1]{} This is the first reference. \page \reference[myref 2]{} This is the second one. \stoptext Works in MKII (at least on ConTeXt online), but produces the following first page in MKIV: --------------------- See page and . --------------------- MTXrun | current version: 2009.06.14 21:01 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009062621 (Web2C 2009) luatex.web >= v13958 Thanks, Tad
