Thank you for the clear answer. The only thing I wish that there was more information about mathcolumn (/MC) command on the wiki. > with \startmathcases ... \stopmathcases you get a curly bracket to the > left of "...", see [1]. If you just want to have multiline equations, > then \startalign ... \stopalign could be want you need (it's also on > page [1]). There's also a "My Way" [2] about mathalign. -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi, since beta 2011.02.14 23:30 the correspondence module complains that context is too old. Florian

Hi, Sorry for stealing the tread, but what "mathcases" do and how it is different from mathalign? Sometimes, I need to typeset multiline equations, and have to admit that this an obscure subject. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Never mind, as long as I can work around this with a reference format. fyi: you can say autocase=yes so that e.g. page becomes Page when it ends up at the beginning of a line.

Chapters not sowing up in ToC
by Tom 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

When attempting to place only the chapter number on the first page of a chapter, the chapters do not appear in the ToC & the ToC does not display. Inserting #2 just before the last } in the definition for MyChapterCommand causes the ToC to appear with chapter names although it and the chapters are ugly. Is it necessary to include chapter names at the beginning of chapters? Perhaps this is intended because leaving chapter names off the beginning of chapters would reduce the value of the ToC. Maybe ToCs are not desired in such situations. %insert #2 before last } to cause ToC to appear although %very ugly \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off] {\vbox{\centerline{\headtext{chapter} #1}}}} \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommand, header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak, after={\blank[0.5in]},before={\blank[force,1.0in]}] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{The First Chapter} \input knuth \chapter{The\\Second\\Chapter} \input knuth \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com

Stretching chapter titles - MKII
by Tom 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Follows is some code that executes. The lines immediately following \starttext create a sample of the desired output format. However, I want to accomplish similar results for chapter titles via the passing of arguments containing the chapter title and number. Numerous attempts at that have resulted in abject failure. I am clearly missing something. \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2 {\switchtobodyfont[ss,30pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{Chapter\\One}} \blank[small] \switchtobodyfont[sansbold,20pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{It\\Was\\The\\Best\\Of\\Times}}} \setuphead[chapter] [command=\MyChapterCommand, header=empty,footer=chapter,page=mychapterpagebreak, after={\blank[0.5in]},before={\blank[force,1.0in]}] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[sans,30pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{Chapter\\One}} \blank[small] \switchtobodyfont[sansbold,20pt] \hbox to \hsize {\stretched{It\\Was\\The\\Best\\Of\\Times}} \chapter{It\\Was\\The\\Best\\Of\\Times} \input knuth \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com

The new code is supposed to have no side effects but might take time to get right in all aspects. Today I was contacted by our publisher as the printer found wrong header in the proof! So there are still cases where it doesn't work reliable :o( Even though in the original pages also footnotes and stuff are involved I managed to cook down a minimal that shows the mistake: please run attached example.

Hi, how do I change the numbering of subfootnote from eg. "2.1" to "2a"? See minimal example, please: \setupenumerations[subfootnote][conversion=a] % ? \setupsubfootnotes[conversion=a] % ? \starttext test \footnote{xxxx} \subfootnote{xxxx} text test \startfootnote note \stopfootnote test \startsubfootnote subnote \stopsubfootnote text \stoptext Thanks, Steffen
