header setting
by Herbert Voss 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

in my example I have set the numbers in the margin. In fact of using the twoside layout I get the numbers only for odd pages in the margin. Is this also possible for the even pages, just like "header 1.2" instead of "1.2 header"?

Wolfgang: thanks for the tips, I'll try them out. Hans: Here is the example, which produced the output in my Thoughts document (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5718469/counters.pdf) \definetyping[cmds] \setuptyping[cmds][option=commands] \starttext \startcmds \def\MySectionCounter{P\currentcounter[part].C\currentcounter[chapter]-\currentcounter[section]} /stopcmds \stoptext which has inserted spaces before the opening square brackets and between e.g. \def and \MySectionCounter. -- Bela Mulder Group Leader Theory of Biomolecular matter FOM Institute AMOLF Science Park 104, 1098XG Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Tel: + 31 20 7547100 FAX: + 31 20 7547290 web: http://www.amolf.nl/research/theory_of_biomolecular_matter/

Thoughts about counters
by Bela Mulder 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Dear ConTeXtuals, Following up on my previous question regarding "Custom enumeration" (see ntg-context Digest, Vol 76, Issue 71), I penned down a few thoughts about counters. If you're interested take a look: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5718469/counters.pdf It's also my first ConTeXt document, so please bear with the amateurish formatting. I anyone can explain how to keep the annoying spurious spaces from cropping up in my verbatim typing environment with option=commands switched on, I would also be grateful. Thanks, in advance! -- Bela Mulder Group Leader Theory of Biomolecular matter FOM Institute AMOLF Science Park 104, 1098XG Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Tel: + 31 20 7547100 FAX: + 31 20 7547290 web: http://www.amolf.nl/research/theory_of_biomolecular_matter/

The myenvir.tex contains the line \usemodule[ruby] (and other fontfallbacks) which works fine in a simple file, but fails to be loaded in the component, yet I don't seem to be able to load it by pointing to either the project or the environment... The product and project files are, with the exception of name changes, copied almost straight from the documentation; all files compile fine if the three lines above are commented out. Thank you for your time & help =)

Sorry to keep going on about this, but trying to load the project/environment with either of \project myproject \environment myenvironment in the component (directly after \startcomponent) gives me an error. It compiles fine without these commands, but then the \ruby command does not work. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. Severin >> Thank you, it's almost working.

Unzip it and replace the luatex binary in /Users/robert/ConTeXt- minimals-17-10-10/bin (I'm not sure if that's enough, though.) Comment line 92 in first-setup.sh (the one rsyncing $platform/bin) und run first-setup again (i.e. it would just run the mtxrun line 96). Since the binary from the distribution works on my iBook G3, I don't think that's really the problem. Are you sure OSX's BSD subsystem is installed? "dyld: incompatible cpu-subtype" in the mtxrun point at some library problem. I've not enough experience to handle that. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

itemize
by Herbert Voss 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

In the documentation I found \setupitemgroup, \setupitemize and in the list of all commands \setupitems. I didn't find any example for the \setupitems. However, I can set all parameters with the other two commands. So the question is: when do I need \setupitems and has someone a working example? Herbert

Caption textcommand option
by Cedric Mauclair 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi Hans and all, Would it be possible to add an options to the captions with name textcommand to typeset the caption text only. In French, we use a point at the end of the captions, but if I want to use \about... somewhere, I end up with the dot too, which I don't want. Currently I have changed, rather crudely, the definition of \putcompletecaption... to take that into account. Here is what I came up with. \def\DotAtEnd#1{#1.} \setupcaptions[\c!textcommand=\DotAtEnd] % ADDED \long\def\putcompletecaption ... \begstrut\floatcaptionparameter\c!textcommand{#2}\endstrut\endgraf % MODIFIED \fi \endgroup %\floatcaptionparameter\c!after % test for side effects first \doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter]}} %% END YUCK!! I am sure there is a better way though. Regards. -- Cédric

Re: [NTG-context] Failure to Install minimals on iBook G3
by Robert Blackstone 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Thank you, Arthur and Mojca, for your quick and clear response. It is probably not worth bothering for this particular machine. I have access to the minimals on several other Macs (including a much older, not to say ancient PowerMac G4, also on Tiger). So I'm not particularly needy in this respect. I rescued this iBook from a garbage dump, in fact there were two of them, both defect, from which I have been able to make one working machine, and I just thought that it would have been nice to have ConTeXt-minimals on it. But it is puzzling. I never had any problems with two other PPC Macs, so what makes this one essentially different? (No answer needed.) Best regards, Robert Blackstone
