Header-Footer-Layout
by Arne Runge 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

Hi, I would like to have a doublesided layout with: - a titlepage with neither header nor footer, - a frontpart with pagesnumbers(left/right) in roman - a bodypart with pagesnumbers(left/right) in arabic - an appendix with pagesnumbers(left/right) in arabic - first page of a chapter should not have a header + underline - next page header(CHAPTER #: chapter) underlined - next page header(section) underlined - if there is no section then only the line. - if the next page is empty than only the pagenumber should be printed. Seems to be a common layout and I apologize for asking. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Arne My code: \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=] \setupsectionblock[bodypart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[backpart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[appendix] [page=] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}] \startsetups[text a] CHAPTER \getmarking[chapternumber]: \expanded{\uppercase{\fetchmark[chapter][first]}} \stopsetups \startsetups[text b] \getmarking[section] \stopsetups \setupheader[text][after=\hrule] \setuphead[chapter][header=empty] \setupfootertexts[][pagenumber] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \title{title} \stopstandardmakeup \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuppagenumber[number=1] \chapter{body} bla \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{appendix} code \stopappendices \stoptext

Error with \section name
by Rogers, Michael K 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

I encountered a strange error. If the section name contains "iffer" then an error is produced, with some joke-like comments. Minimal example: \starttext \chapter{One} \section{iffer} \stoptext The original title was "Differentiating an integral" but I kept taking away until I got to "iffer".

I can't go on meeting you like this. ... l.3 \section{iffer} One of your faux pas seems to have wounded me deeply... in fact, I'm barely conscious.

Symbolsets, using Unicode symbols?
by Mari Voipio 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

Hello! I'm having one of those ConTeXt moments when I feel really stupid, but I just cannot figure this out.... I'd need the heart symbol. You know, the one that goes on Facebook as <3. I think it is this Unicode symbol: ♥ U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT ♥ or ♥ or &hearts; I'm using the LucidaOT (Unicode) font and my Mac should have some other of the basic symbol sets, but I just cannot figure out how to use the above knowledge to dish out the heart. (TeX culture shock, I think, I don't care about gazillion maths operators, I want my Dingbats and other little decorations.) I found the Symbols wiki page at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols, but cannot figure out how to implement it: - the command \usesymbols[uni] gives 'symbols > unknown: library 'uni'' in the log. - the command \showsymbolset is just as hopeless: command \showsymbolset not found in file symb-run So, what bit in that process have I missed or not understood? I'm running mkIV in ConTeXt version Aug 17, 2012 in a Mac laptop. As Unicode and all that have been around for ages, this problem must be one of those you find between the chair and the screen! Thank you, Mari

Chapters without chapter number
by Pavel Hanák 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hi all, I would like to ask what is the best way to achieve this: The title line of the chapter should be without the chapter number, but the chapter number should be on all subsequent pages in the header. I tried this: \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, number=no ] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]. \getmarking[chapter]}] which makes the title of the chapter on the first page correctly without the chapter number, but then I have no chapter number on subsequent pages in the header. It looks like setting "number=no" in \setuphead definition breaks my expected behaviour of marking. So I tried: \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, sectionnumber=no ] but id didn't work either. So I ended by: \def\MyChapterTitle#1#2{#2}% \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, command=\MyChapterTitle, ] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]. \getmarking[chapter]}] which is working like expected, but I wonder, why I am not able to achieve the result using keywords "number" or "sectionnumber". Thanks. Pavel

Issues with the legend mechanism
by Marco Patzer 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hi, I discovered some issues with the legend mechanism. 1) A newline after \startplacelegend fails: \starttext \startplacelegend \startcontent Foo \stopcontent \startcaption Bar \stopcaption \stopplacelegend \stoptext 2) location != top | bottom throws “Infinite glue shrinkage found in a paragraph”: \starttext \startplacelegend [location=left] \startcontent Foo \stopcontent \startcaption Bar \stopcaption \stopplacelegend \stoptext 3) tabulate inside the content fails when not boxed: \starttext \startplacelegend [location=left] \startcontent \starttabulate \NC Alpha \NC Beta \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopcontent \startcaption Bar \stopcaption \stopplacelegend \stoptext Just reporting, nothing which needs to be fixed before EuroTeX.

Math and units
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hello, which is the most correct way to display units (here: kN) in math formula? ---- \starttext \startformula a = 210 kN % "kN" is shown like a variable (here: like 'a'), which is unwanted \stopformula \startformula a = 210 \unit{kN} % No unit is displayed (?!) \stopformula \startformula a = 210 \text{~kN} % '~' required?, ugly way \stopformula \stoptext ---- TIA.

punctuation vs font switch
by Andreas Mang 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Dear all, at the risk of being met with an incredulous shake of the head: I am using xits as math font and pagella as main font (for several reasons). Obviously, the punctuation (in particular "comma") does not match. Is there an easy and quick global fix!? Your help is very much appreciated. Cheers, Andreas % minimal example \starttypescript [myface] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [rm] [serif] [pagella] [default] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [mm] [math] [xits] [default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[myface,11pt] \starttext $1{,}2$ 1,2 % difference $1\text{,}2$ % not so nice work around and problematic since the font size does not change (superscript, subscript,...) \stoptext % stop minimal example P.S. Clearly, this does not matter for formulas but its different for inline (in text) math expressions.

Alignment in combination

Hi, how to left align the elements of a combination? \useMPlibrary [dum] \setupexternalfigures [height=2cm] \starttext %% does nothing: \setupcombinations [align=flushleft] \startcombination [2*2] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm]} {} \stopcombination \blank[2cm] %% desired: \startcombination [2*2] {\kern-2cm\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\kern-1cm\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm]} {} \stopcombination \stoptext Marco
