Table of Contents entries without page numbers
by Tom 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

It is relatively easy to create table of contents entries without chapter numbers, but I can't figure out how to include entries without page numbers. I want to place a title page, 'Appendices,' in the ToC after the last chapter and before the first appendix. I can easily create the page using \title{Appendices} but it doesn't show up in the ToC. Using \chapter{Appendices} creates a ToC entry with a page number and an appendix number, which can be eliminated. There must be some way of placing headers within a ToC.

Producing quotesingle glyph
by Pontus Lurcock 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hello, This may be a stupid question, but I can't work out how to produce the ' character (quotesingle, unicode 0x0027) glyph in a document. Just typing the character in the source produces a quoteright as expected. Here are my other attempts: \starttext \quotesingle \getnamedglyphdirect{lm}{quotesingle} \uchar{00}{39} \stoptext They all produce quoteright as well. Does anyone have a better suggestion? I'm using MkIV, version 2011.02.25 22:03. Thanks, Pont

beware: fontclass ignored
by Reviczky, Adam 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi Using context experimental 2011.03.18 I get this line when using definebodyfontenvironment: fonts > beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) Minimal example: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/definebodyfontenvironment %%% \starttext \definefontsize[e] \definebodyfontenvironment [default] [b=4,e=10] This will be {\tfb really} {\bfe Huge} \stoptext %%% This also happens for the s-map-10 module, which seems to be broken anyway. What is the proper use of definebodyfontenvironment then? Adam

Text with background (overlay with a line by MP)
by Procházka Lukáš 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hello, I'm trying to create an overlay - text with a line drawn bellow. The following code: --- \defineoverlay[Label][\useMPgraphic{Label}] \startuniqueMPgraphic{Label} path p; p := (0,0) -- (OverlayWidth,0); draw p yshifted -1cm withpen pencircle scaled 1mm withcolor .667red; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \def\Text#1{\inframed[background=Label,frame=off]{#1}} \starttext AAA \Text{BBB} CCC \stoptext --- results in a horizontal line going exactly through the middle of the text. And I'd like to draw it bellow; thus "yshifted -1cm". How to do it? Best regards, Lukas

more "missing or ungrouped '=' after"
by Reviczky, Adam 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi I'm getting the same lines by using setupfields (in widgets), but this time I don't even get an output. Here's the minimal example: %%% \starttext \setupfields [label,frame,horizontal] [offset=4pt,height=fit,framecolor=green,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.80] [height=40pt,width=100pt,align=middle,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] [height=40pt,width=100pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] \setupfield[widget][] \definefield [Emaila] [line] [widget] [] [pragma.ade(a)wxs.nl] \field [Emaila] [your email] \stoptext %%% This runs fine and works as expected with the 2011.02.25 beta. Running it with the 2011.03.18 experimental I get these lines and NO output: check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'frame' in line 7 (@@fdlabel check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'horizontal' in line 7 (@@fdlab Also I ran into the fact that the general setup settings (setupfields) are not inherited (most likely due to the problem above). Maybe Hans is working on the fld file (as the timestamp suggests), but since I had a similar problems yesterday I better ask first. Any hints appreciated Adam

Different fontsize in header and footer
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

I thought I saw it once, but I can not find it. I like to use another fontsize in my headers and footers. At the moment I have solved it in this way: \setupfootertexts[{\switchtobodyfont[6pt]Pagina \pagenumber \space van \lastpage}] But then I have to do this everywhere I change the text for header/footer. Is there a way to set the fontsize (and font) globally? -- Cecil Westerhof

How to get the style definitions from \chapter, \section, \subsection
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

The style of chapter is significant bigger as the style from section, but it looks like the style from section and subsection are about the same. I have a workaround with the following: \setuphead[section][before={\blank[3*big] \testpage[15]}] \setuphead[subsection][before={\blank[big,small] \testpage[10]},style={\bf}] This works reasonable. But it would be better if I could find out the definitions from \section and \subsection. Then I could make a more fine-tuned solution. Is it possible to get those definitions? -- Cecil Westerhof

Re: [NTG-context] missing or ungrouped '=' after 'reset'
by Reviczky, Adam 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

>The example is wrong, for \definelayout only assignments are valid parameters >while \setuplayout accepts also “reset” for the first (with one argument) >or second (with two arguments) argument. Hmm, but it's the only way it produces the output with the right layouts. So what needs to be changed for this example to be in a correct way (and still get the layouts right)? Thanks Adam

missing or ungrouped '=' after 'reset'
by Reviczky, Adam 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi I'm getting lines like these since context experimental 2011.03.11 (including 2011.03.18) by using definelayout reset. check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'reset' in line 8 (@@ly2) check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'reset' in line 12 (@@ly9) Did something change around definelayout and its options or is that just a normal (verbose) message? I'm using the example on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout: %%% \setuplayout[% default layout for all the pages backspace=1cm, width=middle] \definelayout[1][% set this layout on the first page backspace=6cm] \definelayout[2][reset] % reset to the default layout starting from the second page \definelayout[5][backspace=6cm] % use this layout starting from page 5 \definelayout[9][reset] % reset to the default layout starting from page 9 \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{20}{\input dawkins \blank[big] \input knuth \page} \stoptext %%% Adam
