Referencing a \startdefinition
by Kip Warner 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hey list, When I wish to reference some section, I can inline typeset with \in{section}[Some Reference]. In the case of a definition defined with a \startdefinition{Some Definition}, how can I reference it inline? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

\par in macro definition (mkii issue)
by Otared Kavian 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, It seems that with the recent updates, I found that the following minimal example does not work in mkii, while it does in mkiv: \define[1]\MyTest{The test variable is #1.\par} \starttext Is this a bug in mkii? \MyTest{3} \stoptext Am I doing something wrong, or mkii has changed despite being officially « frozen », a side effect of the global warming…? :-) Best regards: OK PS: the version I am using is ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.16 18:33 MKII, and the error message says: (/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.mkii)) Runaway argument? {The test variable is ##1. ! Paragraph ended before \complexdefine was complete. <to be read again> \par l.1 \define[1]\MyTest{The test variable is #1.\par } ? Process aborted

two problems with natural tables
by Florian Wobbe 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, 1) I tried the following minimal example from http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20110109.151431.f774696a.en.html \placetable[split]{Test} {\bTABLE[split=yes] \dorecurse{60}{ \bTR \bTD hello \eTD \eTR } \eTABLE} with the current context versions which works fine. However, if I insert the code in a big project with many setups it fails with the attached error message. So there are setups which cause this error. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out what causes the problem. I could determine the context version at which my big document fails: 2010.12.22 14:07. The example still works in 2010.12.21 10:50. Anyone got an idea which setups might cause this issue? 2) How do I get a small and bold header? This does not work: \bTABLE \setupTABLE[style=\tfx] \setupTABLE[row][1][style=\bfx] % redundant w/ line 5 \bTABLEhead \bTR[style=\bfx] \bTH Header \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD hello \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD world \eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE Thanks!

Counters again
by Felix Ingram 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hello all, I'm now trying to use counters that will tally some values. The value of these could be zero, which the wiki states will be the default value. The following shows that nothing is displayed when the counter is 0. \definenumber[examplecounter] \setnumber[examplecounter]{1} \starttext This is the default value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] This is the new value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \resetnumber[examplecounter] This is the reset value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \setnumber[examplecounter]{0} This is the set value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \stoptext I can include some conditionals to check this but thought I'd report it in case I'm doing it wrong/the wiki needs updating. Many thanks, Felix

by Nikita Volchenkov 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hello. I want to use in formulas for letters and numerals my usual text font (Linux Libertine for example) and math font for all other symbols (saying Cambria Math or Computer Modern). It is possible? If so, I would like to see example typescript for MkIV.

Tikz module causes errors
by Felix Ingram 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

I've just updated to the latest beta and the following will cause an error: \usemodule[tikz] \starttext Hello World \stoptext The error is: system > tex > error on line 129 in file example.tex: Undefined control sequence ... l.129 \catcode`\;=\active Obviously there is no line 129. A quick greg shows that the likely suspect is: tex\texmf-modules\tex\generic\pgf\utilities\pgffor.code.tex:129 Is this the best place to report this, or should I drop a mail to the Tikz/PGF list?

Hi, the good old command for breaking list entries (eg. headings in the TOC) like this ... \startLevelOne[ title={Das Krankenhaus als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}, marking={Das Krankenhaus als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}, list={Das Krankenhaus\\als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}, bookmark={Das Krankenhaus als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}] ... pop up this error message: !

I get an inexplicable error in \xmlprocessfile. It seems to occur after my data are processed; somewhere in the aftermath of that call, I guess. The error is in: ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.16 18:33 MKIV This version was ok: ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.09 10:08 MKIV The error: ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup l.37 \xmlprocessfile{exam}{xam-exam.xml}{} What happened. Changes here? Hans van der Meer

by Pavel Dohnal 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hello, I want to have 10mm space between rim of the paper and beginig of the text. This is my layout: \definelayout[normal][ bottompace=0mm, footerheight=6mm, footerdistance=0mm, bottomdistance=0mm, bottomspace=0mm, topdistance=0mm, topspace=0mm, headerheight=60mm, headerdistance=0mm, leftedgewidth=0mm, leftmargin=10mm, leftedgedistance=0mm, leftmargindistance=0mm, backspace=10mm, rightedge=0mm, rightmargin=10mm, cutspace=0mm, rightmargindistance=0mm, rightedgedistance=0mm, width=277mm, height=210mm ] \setuplayout[normal] After printing is space in left 10mm, but space between top rim of the paper and top text is 14mm. Why is that? How to setup my layout to have exactly 10 mm both in top and in left?
