Footnote texts mistakenly appearing on page prior to call up
by Elias Oltmanns 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi there, the document attached below produces rather unexpected results. Even though footnote number 6 is called for on page 3, the associated footnote text appears on the previous page. Using location=page in the footnote setup restores the expected behaviour, but in this case the footnote text does not wrap at the end of the margin but is cut off instead. This cannot even be prevented by setting width=\rightmarginwidth in the footnote setup. Any ideas?

caught in the grid
by Steffen Wolfrum 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, as there is no setup for paragraphs (see thread before), I really don' know how to come out of this trap: I need a tight interlinespace for the normal body text, but no lunatic headings!! Have a look, please: \definegridsnapping[MyGrid] [off]% broad/both/bold/local fit for the text \starttext \setuplayout[grid=MyGrid] \switchtobodyfont[42pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=30pt] \lineskiplimit-\maxdimen Big text\crlf written in\crlf three row \section{One\\Two\\Three} Big text\crlf written in\crlf three row \stoptext Literally the whole day I tried various grid key combinations ... for setuplayout and setuphead ... in vain. I am going crazy! Steffen

\version[temporary] doesn't show registers
by Michael Murphy 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

As far as I understand it, \version[temporary] should show the registers (for example, the indexed values) in each page in the margin. But it doesn't. Has this command changed? -- Michael Murphy MPhys

Hello List, Just came across this today. Haven't even tried it. Just wondering whether it could be ported to ConTeXt at all. http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/flowfram.html Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Interaction and TOC/content problmes
by Martin Althoff 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

I am having a couple of small problems with the interaction. In principle it's working, but... 1. The TOC is added to the bookmarks, which is fine, but with a lower-case "c", ie. "content" 2. From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Bookmarks_and_Headers I figured out how to get rid of the \crlf in the header. Actually, I'd be happy to just pass the word "Introduction" to the bookmarks and leave out the rest. Any way of doing that? 3. Strangely enough, placing \bookmark{Intro} after the \title {Introduction -- \crlf Welcome} replaces the "content" entry and points to the content, but putting a \bookmark after \completecontent leads to no output at all. Thanks for any pointers !

setup for (start)paragraph?
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi, there seems to be a confusion in contextgarden (at least *I* am confused): Isn't there also a setup for "\startparagraph ... \stopparagraph"??? "\defineparagraphs" is something different, no? See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/startparagraph "Reference/en/startparagraph \startparagraph [edit]Syntax \startparagraph ... \stopparagraph [edit]Description [edit]Example % Source: ConText Manual ms-cb-en.pdf % Define a paragraph environment with 3 columns. % Insert a blank line just before and just after the paragraph. \defineparagraphs[mypar][n=3,before={\blank},after={\blank}]" Steffen
