I'm not sure if indexing-feature in ConTeXt allow me to use English, Croatian and Sanskrit diacritics (not Devanagari) all in one document and define that I want e.g. that \'{s}, \d{s} has to be sorted under 'Š' ? In short, xindy allows one to define his own sort-rules. Mojca> It makes no sense to discuss distributing something before it can Mojca> be used with ConTeXt.) Right, that's why also asked "Now I'm interested how is support for Xindy in ConTeXt" hoping that the context-distribution list has enough knowledgeable people able to answer it.

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.

unicode no-break spaces
by Peter Münster 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hello, This used to work with MKIV, but with today's version, it does not: \starttext X X THIN SPACE (U+2009)\blank X X NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE (U+202F)\blank X X NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0)\blank \stoptext Should this work, or should we rather use "~" and "\," as in the past? Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

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.

missing metafun graphics in mkii
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hello, Does anyone else experience problems using metafun graphics in mkii? Did I miss some runwhatevertrue switch somewhere? Are the stubs in minimals incompatible in some way? At least live.contextgarden.net seems to suffer as well. Minimal example: \startMPcode draw fullcircle scaled 3cm; \stopMPcode If I run the code with some older ConTeXt then the code starts working again with a recent ConTeXt, but recent ConTeXt doesn't generate the jobname-mpgraph.1 file at all. Once compiling the document with an older version, the file is generated and it starts working again. But this behaviour breaks my module :( Thanks, Mojca
