BTW: Context Standalone

Hello, there was a discussion about "Ideas for restructuring the ConTeXt garden?" some months ago (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/057640.html) In answers in this forum, "Context Minimals" are still referred - so just a polite question: Is there any progress calling Context Minimals -> "Context Standalone"? I don't have strict overview what everything should be affected (wiki, manuals, setup batches?)... Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Re: [NTG-context] solved-how to make "\getmarking[title]" show using default font size? (Wolfgang Schuster)
by Jeong Dalyoung 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for your help. > Don?t set the font style with the argument of the \title command, use \setuphead. I'll keep in mind. > \define[2]\Mytitle > {\framedtext > [width=broad, > height=5\bodyfontsize, > background=color, > backgroundcolor=lightgray, > offset=2pt, > strut=no, > frame=off, > align={middle,middle}] > {#2}} > > \setuphead > [title] > [command=\Mytitle, > style=\ssbfb] % \ss\bfb > Why is the number of arguments 2? What is #1 for? One more question about \startfiguretext. \startitemize \item first item \startfiguretext[right][]{} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} \startitemize \item 11111 \item 22222 \item 33333 \stopitemize \stopfiguretext \item second item \stopitemize gives no error, but 11111, 22222 starts from the very beginning of the the text line. It ignores the indentation affected by \item first item. Is it normal? Then, how to keep the indentation caused by \startitemize? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Wrong radical with euler.otf and texlive 2011.
by eythanweg＠gmail.com 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hi, I use euler.otf with texlive 2011. The expression $1\over\sqrt{{1\over b^2}+{1\over a^2}}$ is typeset with a wrong radical. Here: $$1\over\sqrt{{1\over b^2}+{1\over a^2}}$$ it seems correct. Beta also exhibits the same behavior. Is the font or the format, or, perhaps, something else? Thank, Eythan

\defineseperatedlist and working with variables and merging fields
by Cecil Westerhof 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Attached a tex file and the generated PDF. The first table is what I am trying to do. The second table is an example about what I would like to accomplish. I have two problems. Because there will be a lot of tables I like to use a variable, so that changes can be done in one place. That is why I would like to use: \getvariable{desc}{fieldHeading} on the third line of the table. But then I get one column instead of five. (The third is what I get, the fourth what I would like to get.) In the first and last two rows I would like to have the field take the complete row. Just like the example in the table under it where I use Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

`\setupinterlinespace` and `\{start, stop}standardmakeup`
by Paul Menzel 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, following Wolfgang’s advise [1] (Thank you, Wolfgang!) I learned about ` \{start,stop}standardmakeup`. Am Samstag, den 05.02.2011, 19:34 +0100 schrieb Wolfgang Schuster: […] > \starttext > > \startstandardmakeup[align=middle] > \definedfont[Serif at 30pt]Titlepage > \stopstandardmakeup > > … > > \stoptext Now I am having a title consisting of more than one line and I noticed the space between those lines seems to be too small. Trying to increase the space using `\setupinterlinespace` [2] it did not work. I had to use `\blank` in between. Is that expected? Is it documented somewhere when `setupinterlinespace` has no effect? Please find my tests attached. Thanks, Paul [1] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/056536.html [2] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupinterlinespace

trailing spaces in macro argument
by Daniel Schopper 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Dear list, could anyone be so kind to explain to me why in the following MWE the trailing space are missing in the output of the \test-macro? I’m kind of puzzled as I supposed it wouldn’t be possible for \stopline to influence the behaviour of its preceding tokens. apologies for what's probably a most straight-forward question to many of you… \def\test#1{% \startline[line:0]% \pagereference[page:0]% {#1}% \stopline[line:0]%D commenting this out makes the trailing spaces in the argument appear as expected. } \starttext \startlinenumbering One \test{ two three }four \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Thanks! Daniel

Single page in landscape?
by Alasdair McAndrew 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I can't find an answer which works. I have a document in portrait mode (A4), with one wide diagram - a Gantt chart, created with the gantt-tikz module, and which I'd like on a landscape page of its own. What's the easiest way to do this? I can do it by simply putting the chart on a page of its own and rotating it, but this is a bit of an ad-hoc solution. Thanks, Alasdair

Only show section numbering for \chapter?
by Khaled Hosny 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello all, I'm trying to only show section numbering for chapter, both in the section head and content list. I tried several combinations of number=yes|no, sectionnumber=yes|no but I either get numbering for all or none. I tried using \title and \subject by they don't show in the content list. I ended up using hacks like numbercomman=\dummy, and defining \def\dummy#1{}, but I'm trying to find if there is a cleaner solution. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab

I'm curious, what is "markdown" and why one ever needs to print it? ;) -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky
