definedelimitedtext options
by xancorreu 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, Another time ;-) I have \definedelimitedtext [abstract] [leftmargin=yes, spacebefore=line, style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]},after=\normal] and I want to indent more the abstract. What are the options of definedelimitedtext? In the manual there is no mention for that. Is there any way of doing the same as \startnarrower[2*middle,3*middle]? Thanks in advance, Xan.

Hi! Why not to use my Win installer? ;) @Mojca or someone at the server: I see that http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalIns… contains quite old version of the installer. Can you please update it if I send you the files? -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

startenumerate in romans a la LaTeX
by Xan 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi, I just want to simulate the behaviour of \usepackage{enumerate} ... \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item \end{enumerate} in ConTeXt. That is: - items in (i), (ii), .... - right indentation of items: in context items start at the same point. In LaTeX is the item text itself who starts at the same point, not the romans. I try: \defineenumeration [mylema] [text={Lemma}, % Què es mostra before={\blank[big]}, % abans de lema, un bigskip after={\blank[big]}, % després de lema, un bigskip headstyle=bold, % Negreta per la capçaleras %between=\blank, % Entre Lemmes una línia en blanc titledistance=.5em, % espai entre número i parèntesis. textdistance=.5em, % espai entre ) i text stopper={.\space}, % Com acaba. Després de parèntesis un '.' location=serried, width=fit, % que ocupi tot l'espai style=italic, % estil del text title=yes, % si puc posar o no arguments opcionals titlestyle=bf, % estil del títol way=bytext, % enumerar en tot el document conversion=numbers,indenting=yes] % enumera amb arabic %enumera els lemes per seccion [...] \startmylema Let $G$ be a group with a finite presentation ${\cal P} = \langle X \mid R \rangle$. Then for all null-homotopic words $u, v$ in ${\cal P}$, \setupitems[align=right] \startitemize[r][left=(,right=),stopper=] \item $\text{area}(u \cdot w) = \text{area} (w \cdot u)$ \item $\text{area}(wuw^{-1}) = \text{area}(w)$ \item $\text{area}(u \cdot w) \leq \text{area}(u) + \text{area}(w)$ \item $\text{area}(u) = \text{area}(u^{-1})$ \stopitemize \stopmylema but the numbers are left-aligned and they bit the text. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xan. PS: Please CCme.

mkiv and Reverse list of abbreviations
by Otared Kavian 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I have three questions regarding the use of abbreviations in mkiv: it seems that there is a difference between the way in which mkii and mkiv treat the definitions of synonyms. If one considers the minimal example: % ----- begin abbrev-test.tex \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] \starttext \abbreviation{LCTVS}{Locally Convex Topological Vector Space} \abbreviation{EEG} {Electroencephalogram} \abbreviation{ERP} {Event-Related Potentials} \abbreviation{TVS}{Topological Vector Space} Test inshort: \inshort{EEG}, \inshort{ERP}, \inshort{TVS}, Test infull: \infull{EEG}, \infull{ERP}, \infull{TVS}, \infull{LCTVS} \completelistofabbreviations \stoptext % ----- end abbrev-test.tex my questions are the following: 1) How can I tell mkiv that I want \infull{EEG} result in Electroencephalogram not in "ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM"? 2) It seems that the order in which \infull and \inshort are defined in \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] is different in mkii and in mkiv: is this observation correct? 3) Is it possible to obtain, beside the list of abbreviations, another ordered list in which the full variant is in the first column while the short variant is in the second column? That is something like: \completeReverseListOfAbbreviations resulting in Electroencephalogram EEG Event-Related Potentials ERP Locally Convex Topological Vector Space LCTVS Topological Vector Space TVS Thanks in advance for any help or insight. Best regards: OK

section conversion gets lost in MKIV
by Mojca Miklavec 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Dear list, Here's a minimal example that work correct in MKII, but wrong in MKIV: \setupsection [chapter] [conversion=Characters] \setupsection [section] [conversion=] \starttext \chapter{first} \section{subfirst} \stoptext It results in A first 1.1 subfirst while it should keep "A.1" instead of "1.1" for the section numbering.

numbered subitems revisited
by Bowen Alan C. 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Several iterations of MK2 ago (in 2007), I was able to produce: 1. History 1.1 Pre-Greek (Babylonian and Egyptian) sundials 1.2 Greek and Roman sundials 1.3 Byzantine sundials 2. Catalog (descriptions with photos, rough dating, evaluation) 2.1 The Tower of the Winds and its sundials, treated separately 2.2 General remarks on the cataloguing of the other finds 2.3 Catalogue of the remaining finds on the Greek mainland and the Peloponnesus 3. Analysis 3.1 Methodological remarks on the mathematical tools for analysis, and on their status 3.2 Documentation of the results of the mathematical analysis of the measurements, comparison with other evaluations using the following code (thanks to Aditya): \setupitemize[1][fit,broad] \setupitemize[2][width=2em] \setupitemize[each][n] \def\checkforrepeatedlistitem {\ifnum\itemlevel=\plusone \initializeboxstack{item}% \fi \ifconditional\repeatlistitem \savebox{item}{\itemlevel}{\hbox{\copy8}}% \setbox8\hbox %to \wd8 {\setbox\scratchbox\hbox {\scratchcounter\itemlevel \advance\scratchcounter\minusone \dorecurse\scratchcounter{\foundbox{item}{\recurselevel}}}% \ifnum\itemlevel>\plusone \ifdim\wd\scratchbox>\zeropoint %\hskip-\dimen2 \box\scratchbox \fi \fi \box8 }% \fi} \startitemize[repeat,serried, joinedup] \item History \startitemize[width=1.75em, stopper={}] \item Pre{-}Greek (Babylonian and Egyptian) sundials \item Greek and Roman sundials \item Byzantine sundials \stopitemize \item Catalog (descriptions with photos, rough dating, evaluation) \startitemize[width=1.75em, stopper={}] \item The Tower of the Winds and its sundials, treated separately \item General remarks on the cataloguing of the other finds \item Catalogue of the remaining finds on the Greek mainland and the Peloponnesus \stopitemize \item Analysis \startitemize[width=1.75em, stopper={}] \item Methodological remarks on the mathematical tools for analysis, and on their status \item Documentation of the results of the mathematical analysis of the measurements, comparison with other evaluations \stopitemize \stopitemize But using 2010.08.06 22 of the minimals, I now get: ! Undefined control sequence. \checkforrepeatedlistitem ->\ifnum \itemlevel =\plusone \initializeboxstack ... \dolistitem ...rutdepth \checkforrepeatedlistitem \ifdim \dimen 2<\zeropoint... \complexdoitemgroupitem ...obreak \fi \dolistitem \relax \ifconditional \pac... <to be read again> H l.30 \item H istory The redefinition of \checkforrepeatedlistitem was necessary because “serried” ruined the indentation of the subitems. Is there a fix for this? Alan

questions regarding `\date`
by Paul Menzel 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Dear ConTeXt folks, I have four questions regarding `\date`. I looked at the page in the Wiki [1], in the ConTeXt user manual on page 159 [2][3] and tried some things, but could not figure it out. I am using Debian Sid/unstable and I am a total beginner regarding ConTeXt. 0. I guess the first question is, if `\date` is supposed to be used inside a text anyway or just when for example setting the title page. 1. No space is inserted after using `\date[…]`. text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099] text result: text 29. August 2099text Is that intentional? A slash after the command fixes it. text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099]\ text 2. I do not want that one digit months have the zero displayed. But using `m` acts as using `month`. \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099][d,.\,,m] result: 29. August 3. Spacing between numbers. Using LaTeX there were some suggestions to typeset a date using small spaces like `29.\,8.\,2010`. I guess this depends on the fonts used and personal taste? If there is a rule, maybe that could be added to the typesetting chapter in the user manual. Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/date [2] http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-eni.pdf [3] http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/contextman/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=…

PDF fields
by Andreas Harder 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi all, please have a look at my attached example. I've two problems. 1) After I fill one field in the PDF-file all other fields inherit the text. How can I prevent this? 2) The text in the left column an the text in the field are not on the same baseline. The field-text is slightly higher. Thank you in advance Andreas

MKIV and path updated by Mktexlsr...
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hello list, I do not know why, but somehow ConTeXt MKIV stopped (in texlive 2010) look up the my .tex files (my libraries) that I placed to c:/texlive/texmf-local/tex/... etc. .. While MKII works fine. Is Mktexlsr command for MKIV without effect? Knows anyone what may be the problem and how to fix it?? Thanks Jaroslav
