footnotes and linenumbering
by Martin Fechner 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi all, is it possible to have a linenumbering also in the footnotes? I tried it with ------ \setuplinenumbering[method=page] \setupfootnotedefinition[location=serried] \setupfootnotes[before={\startlinenumbering[continue]},after={\stoplinenumbering}] \starttext \startlinenumbering \input knuth some text\footnote{the first footnote} more text\footnote{\dorecurse{10}{a very long footnote }} \stoplinenumbering \stoptext ------ but only the whole footnotefigure has one linenumber and it doesn't continue right if method=page is set. Is there any solution to this? Greetings, Martin

Simplefonts question
by Lutz Haseloff 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi Wolfgang, I'm looking for documentation for your handy module. Particularly i'd like to know all the options i can use for the commands \setmainfont and \setupsimplefonts. My goal is to use a font in my document in different sizes (say 12, 17 and 35pt) with adequate line spacing. I only found "\setmainfont[...][..,..=..,..]" in README. Reading the source was not too helpful for me :-) Greetings Lutz

scaling the mp figure in ConTeXt
by Jeong Dalyoung 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Dear all, I use MetaFun to create a figure and embed it using \processMPbuffer[]. for example, \startbuffer[test] draw fullcircle scaled 3cm; \stopbuffer \starttext \placefigure[][]{} \processMPbuffer[test] \stoptext But sometimes, I need to rescaling the mp figure to fit the page. Is there a way of rescaling the figure at the stage \processMPbuffer or \useMPgraphic? In the above example, I got a circle of radius 3cm. How to get a circle of radius 2cm? Thank you for reading. best regards, Dalyoung

extra white after equation
by Hans van der Meer 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

I find that the placement of an equation number makes a difference on the amount of white after the equation. Should they both give the same amount of whitespace? Or is the difference intentional? But then why? I add a minimal example. Hans van der Meer % Test white after formula with and without equation number. \starttext \input tufte \placeformula\startformula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \stopformula % no extra white \input tufte \placeformula[-]\startformula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \stopformula % extra white \input tufte \stoptext

wiki correction
by Hans van der Meer 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

I think I spotted a small error in the parameterlisting of \setupformulae on the wiki: parameter "after dimension" probably should be "spaceafter dimension" because calling with the former has no effect, the latter does. Though using it does not change the difference in spaceafter between \placeformula and \placeformula[-]. Hans van der Meer

Project structure: Do macros go into the environment?
by Paul Menzel 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, I am using the project layout [1] and have a file `env.tex` which gets loaded. \startenvironment env \mainlanguage[de] \setupinteraction [title=Titel, author=John Doe, keyword={keyword}] \def\href#1#2{\useURL[#2][{#2}][][{#1}]\goto{\url[#2]}[url(#1)]} \def\ahref#1{\color[linkcolor]{\ttx \href{#1}{<#1>}}} \def\fullahref#1{\color[linkcolor]{\ttx \href{#1}{http://#1}}} \def\mailto#1{\useURL[#1][mailto:#1][][#1]\from[{#1}]} \def\MailTo#1#2{\useURL[#1][mailto:#1][][#2]\from[{#1}]} […] \stopenvironment My question is if all macro definitions (and setups like for interaction) should go in there? Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure
