float names and lists
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 25 Nov '11

Dear gang, Consider the following: ================= \definefloat[tablecw] % \setupfloat[tablecw] \setupcaption[tablecw][prefix=Table] \starttext \setupfloats[location=middle] \placetable [here] [tablecw:test]{A Caption.} {\starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \VL Test \VL Test \VL Test \VL\FR \HL \stoptable} \setupfloats[location=middle] \placetablecw [here] [tablecw:test]{A Caption.} {\starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \VL Test \VL Test \VL Test \VL\FR \HL \stoptable} \placelistoftables % \placelistoftablescws \stoptext ================= Two challenges: 1. How do I change the prefix that heads the caption of a table? For example, \definefloat[tablecw] produces Tablecw 1 I want to keep the command name of the float but change the prefix. I tried things like \setupcaption[tablecw][prefix=My Table] \setupcaption[tablecw][name=My Table] but no success. 2. \placelistoftablescws produces an undefined control sequence: What am I missing here?

interaction?
by Hans van der Meer 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

I have troubles with interaction in a screen document. (1) I took the example from the wiki: \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupreferencing[interaction=all] \starttext Reference is here <\reference[label:1]{Some text}> \page[yes] % Insert page break Link to \goto{some text elsewhere}[label:1]. \stoptext Although the link on page-2 brings me to page_1, the contents of {Some text} has completely disappeared. Why is this? What is the essence of having this argument if it is not displayed? (2) Transfering this code to a more complex document containing other references, to figures, tables etc. makes the action disappear! Clicking then does nothing, although the links to the figures and tables can be used. The link works when the code above is placed BEFORE \completecontent. But becomes incative when put BEHIND it. The index however has links transferring to the various part of the3 document. Please can some enlighten me? Why are links through \placefigure, \placetable alive and those with \reference-\goto are not? Hans van der Meer

two column itemize page breaking
by Troy Henderson 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Occasionally when I use a two column itemize like \startitemize[n,a,columns,two] \item some text\column \item some more text \stopitemize near the bottom of a page, the second column item gets sent to the next page but the first column item stays on the current page. This is peculiar since they should "stay together". I would appreciate any advice on how to solve this problem. Thanks, Troy Henderson

[Regression] math: alignment parameters confused
by Paul Menzel 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, there must be a regression between ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.7.24 int: english/english and ConTeXt ver: 2011.10.14 22:47 MKIV fmt: 2011.10.15 int: english/english. Using the minimal example \starttext \placeformula \startformula \startmathalignment[n=4, align={left, right, middle, left}] \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NR \NC AA \NC BB \NC CC \NC DD \NR \stopmathalignment \stopformula \stoptext the last row is aligned like middle instead of left. Thanks, Paul

Text in margin
by Kip Warner 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hey list, I am trying to get text to appear in the margin, small, and italicized. The following doesn't appear to effect its size or italicization at all: \setupinmargin[ background=color, color=colour_text, backgroundcolor=colour_page, bodyfont=3pt, before={\switchtobodyfont[3pt]} style=\ss\tfx\setupinterlinespace] -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Double height rows using natural tables?
by Pavneet Arora 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

I have tried various combinations and have so far been unsuccessful in getting a row of double height using natural tables. I am following up and enclosing a minimal example, along with the a previous incarnation using TABLE, which does give me the intended layout. Any suggestions on how to do the same using natural tables would be greatly appreciated. advTHANKSance. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora

caption "none"
by Thomas A. Schmitz 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Has something changed here? With the latest beta, \placefigure[none] places a caption; and didn't use to: \starttext \placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stoptext Or has this behavior been replaced with something else? Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] Something similar to MarVoSym package for ConTeXt
by Pavneet Arora 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Just to answer my own question. A list member suggested that I search for the keyword `symbols'. I had indeed referred to the wiki before posting, but entered as a search the singular `symbol' rather than the plural. What I got back as the lead item: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/symbol Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora Waroc Fine Audio + Custom Home Cinema www.waroc.com 416.937.WAROC (9276)

Text in a box now broken
by Kip Warner 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hey folks, I noticed as of maybe a week ago, that all of the text I have positioned inside of a box has disappeared. I can see everything else, as before, but not the stuff in the box. The box just shows up as a mangled line. The following is a minimal example from ConTeXt version 2011.11.17 09:18. This code was working just fine a few days ago. \definestartstop [TimelineDocument] [before={ \crlf \setupbackground[frame=on, before=\blank, after=\blank, corner=round, topoffset=0.5cm, leftoffset=0.5cm, rightoffset=0.5cm, bottomoffset=0.5cm] \startbackground }, after={ \stopbackground \crlf }, commands={\setupalign[yes]}, style=italic] \starttext \startTimelineDocument Some stuff in a box. \stopTimelineDocument \stoptext Thanks a lot. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
