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.

Bibliography -- complete inline citations in footnotes
by Piotr Lesnicki 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt and I'm greatly appreciating the rejuvenation it brings me in typesetting after several years using LaTeX. I'm confronted to a few little problems though, the main one being that I'd need to have references both in the footnotes and at the end of a document. Under LaTeX I found that the "inlibib" package is doing exactly that, inserting some "ibid" and "op.cit." when required for repeting references. After reading the bibmod-doc, I thought I would temporarly solve the problem by simply using \setuppublications[refcommand=data] which I thought would put the reference in the same format as in the bibliography, but it doesn't compile. Does any one have a solution? Piotr

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.

U3D inclusion
by gummybears 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

In november last year Hans Hagen was so kind to send me a copy of back-u3d.mkiv which is now included in the latest beta. As Hans mentioned the code he gave me is untested. After a couple of tests here are my findings *) The preview does not work at this moment. I only see a light blue square which can be activated. After which the 3d viewer shows the embedded 3d image *) Specifying several views as shown in back-u3d.mkiv shows up in the resulting pdf as "unknown view" *) I also experimented with different values for coo, c2c, roll etc. When not specifying any of these settings the embedded 3d is always shown with the incorrect roll i.e the roll is always 90 degrees off For anyone interested, the 3d file was produced with Asymptote 1.91 ( http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/) =============== Context sample code ============================== \starttext \startluaparameterset [u3d:myset:display:1] toolbar=false, preview="prcu3d/loading.png", view = { name = 'default', bg = {1,1,1}, mag = 25, coo = {2,2,2}, c2c = {0,0,1}, rot = {40,0,60}, roo = 2, lights = 'CAD' } \stopluaparameterset \useexternalfigure [cubes] [prcu3d/cubes.prc] [width=\textwidth, height=0.5\textwidth, display=u3d:myset:display:1] \placefigure[here]{3d cube}{\externalfigure[cubes]} \stoptext ========================== end of Context sample code =======================================
