How to place a (right) brace in a TABLE?
by Vladimir Lomov 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi. (Sorry for unclear question in topic.) I want to put a brace (right or left isn't matter now) in a TABLE (may be another table environment) like in below scheme a11 a12| a13 a21 a22| a23 a31 a32 a33 a41 a42 a43 a51 a52| a53 a61 a62| a63 Here '|' marks place and elements which should be grouped by a brace. Thanks in advance, Vladimir Lomov. P.S. I'm new in context and don't have any idea how to achieve this. I thought about graphics (metapost) to draw a brace or join two cells and draw big brace. And, yes I use mkiv and latest beta (context minimal). -- Show your affection, which will probably meet with pleasant response.

\ldots
by Jan Pohanka 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hello, I discovered that with one font the \ldots command typesets three colons (:::). I found these lines in plain.tex \mathchardef\ldotp="613A % ldot as a punctuation mark \def\ldots{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} saying the \ldots uses character on position 3A. In the font (type 1), there is really the semicolon on this position. How to make context to use proper character (\period), which is on position 2E in the font without changing this file? Or is it possible to use a special glyph for horizontal ellipsis with \ldots command? (It exists in the font) best regads Jan -- Ing.

Dear all, \completeindex creates the bookmark "index" . I'd like to have the capitalized version Index. Is there a way to change that? Thanks, Matthias

mkiv typescript and map files
by John Culleton 20 May '10

20 May '10

Recently started working with context minimal and mkiv. I don't know how much of the traditional structure still is in play. Where do I find the typescript files and the map files applicable to mkiv? I mounted the context minimal distro on /opt on my Slackware Linux system. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Help wanted for layers and pagebackgrounds
by Otared Kavian 20 May '10

20 May '10

Dear all, I need to have a special layout, in which a number (which is not a page number nor a section number or such) is printed in big size on the right when the pagenumber is even (that is on a leftpage) and printed on the left when the pagenumber is odd (that is a rightpage). With the help of examples gleaned here and there in the manuals, I came up with the following minimal example: %%%% begin \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer,alternative=doublesided] \definelayer[NumberRight][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definelayer[NumberLeft][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] %\showframe \define[1]\myNumber{% \setlayer[NumberRight][preset=righttop,voffset=45mm,hoffset=3mm,reset] % without reset the problem is the same {\offset[location=rt,rightoffset=-3mm] {\tlap{\startcolor[darkgreen] \switchtobodyfont[ss] \scale[height=30mm,width=22mm]{#1} \stopcolor} } } \setlayer[NumberLeft][preset=lefttop,voffset=45mm,hoffset=25mm,reset] % without reset the problem is the same {\offset[location=tl,leftoffset=-3mm] {\tlap{\startcolor[darkgreen] \switchtobodyfont[ss] \scale[height=30mm,width=22mm]{#1} \stopcolor} } } } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Maybe the problem is here? \setupbackgrounds[leftpage] [background=NumberRight] \setupbackgrounds[rightpage][background=NumberLeft] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\myNumber{#1}\input knuth.tex \page} \dorecurse{4}{\myNumber{#1}\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth.tex }\page} \stoptext %%%%% end The problem is that in some cases (for instance on pages 2, 3, 4 of the above example) the big numbers are overprinted. In particular the behavior seems not to be the same on all pages, that is after the two \dorecurse above. I guess my lack of knowledge in using and setting layers is the cause, but can anyone tell me please what am I doing wrong? This problem arises in a document in which I have to use mkiv, but in mkii one ha the same result. Thanks in advance and best regards: OK

Register interaction (page references) [mkIV]
by Thomas Floeren 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, when I place an interactive register in mkIV, and then in the PDF click the pagenumber (in the index), it takes me to the wrong page; it seems to go to the absolute pdf page number(?). Example: \setupinteraction[state=start] \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupuserpagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter \page[dummy] \page[dummy] \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \page[dummy] bla\index{bla} \stopbodymatter \placeregister[index] \stoptext Is there something new I have to configure to make it work? MkII works as expected. Thomas ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.13 12:15 MKIV fmt: 2010.5.18 int: english/english

czech language
by Tomáš Pustelník 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I add to attachment updated file lang-sla.tex (some heads had wrong translation) and sort-lan files (mkii and lua), which now sort czech index as a norm says. There is just minor problem with MkIV version. Normally in czech accented characters are sorted as non accented, only when all characters are same (eg. "byt" and "být") accented chars. are put after non accented ones. In MkII this is completely fine, but MkIV sorts both ways (sometimes it sorts correct, sometimes not) Just for case I put in the archive file I use to test czech sorting. Problem I describe here, can be seen on words under letter L. And just one last question. I was playing with translation of user interface (for my bachelor thesis) and I wasn't able to add a new one. I tried to put some test translation in mult-def.lua and even modified mtx-interface.lua. I was able to generate messages file (mult-m**.tex) for my experiment, but i can't figure out how to generete mult-**.tex as well. Thank you for answers Tomas Pustelnik

Broken \setupexternalfigures in mkIV ?
by Reimund Trost 20 May '10

20 May '10

The setupexternalfigures seems to be broken. In the example below, the first \placefigure doesnt work, but the second with the entire path does. I'm running the latest minimals via the GUI installer on winxp. Best regards Reimund Trost Example: % mptest.tex: \starttext \setupcolors [state=start] \setupexternalfigures [directory={fig}] \placefigure [top] [fig:three-point-setup] {This is the caption.} {\externalfigure[figures.1]} \placefigure [top] [fig:three-point-setup] {This is the caption.} {\externalfigure[fig/figures.1]} \stoptext % fig/figures.mp: beginfig(1) pickup pencircle scaled 5bp; draw (0,0) withcolor (1,0,0); endfig; end

Multiple citations at one position
by Stefan Müller 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, I am citing several references at one position in my document and I was wondering if there is a way to get something like "[1, 3, 9 - 11]" instead of "[1] [3] [9] [10] [11]" (what I would get by using "\cite[ref1] \cite[ref3] \cite[ref9] ..."). Unfortunately I can't find some deeper information about \cite or \setupcite. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Stefan.
