after attribute for nested enumeration
by Nicholas Ulle 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, Is it possible to set the after attribute for a nested enumeration? I've tried setting it directly with no luck, but maybe I'm missing some other flag or attribute I need to set? An example follows. Before text \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Here is an item \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Sub item \item Sub item 2 \stopitemize This text is too close to the nested enumeration. \stopitemize This text is the correct distance from outer enumeration. Thanks, Nick

Hi everybody, is there a good way to display source(such as C language) in ConTeXt? or a Module to deal these things (indent, hightlight) just as listings package in LaTeX? Thanks.

Resetting numbers in section header
by Otared Kavian 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi all, Assume for some reason I want a section to be numbered in a particular way: I thought the command resetnumber=yes would do that, but it seems that I am wrong… or this option is now obsolete. Can anyone have a look at the following example and give a hint? \starttext \section{Section 1} \input ward \startsection[title={Section 1 again},resetnumber=yes] % Here I want again the number 1 \input ward \stopsection \setuphead[section][number=yes] \section{Section 3} \input ward \startsection[title={Section with no number},number=no] % Here I don't want numbers \input ward \stopsection \stoptext Thanks in advance: OK

images and text stacked in the margin
by Andy Thomas 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Dear list, I am still struggling to achieve the page layout/look that I am trying to get. For an image of the desired page spread please look here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9089117/tufte-spread.png The design is using the ample margin to place text (sidenotes), figures (images) and tables in the margin. I am unable to get both (images and text) to work properly. (1) put all in a \margintext \margintext{...} for text \margintext{\placefigure...} for external images This option does not work if the position is close to a page break (cp. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20121111.191529.3fbef120.en.html) (2) use two different macros \margintext{...} for text and \placefigure[location=margin]{}{...} for external images This option does not work because they are placed on top of each other. I also tried \startplacefigure, but also no luck. (3) put all in a \placefigure \placefigure[margin,none]{}{Text Text} for text \placefigure[margin,none]{}{...} for external images This works best, because it starts from the top and nicely stacks the marginals. But it introduces a paragraph break where the sidenote is called. This does not work, it defeats the purpose (imagine a paragraph after every footnote). (4) use (3) and postponing \startpostponing [+1]% \startplacefigure[location={margin,none}]% Text text\stopplacefigure% \stoppostponing% Now, the paragraph break is gone, but the sidenote is on the next page, which does not make sense in our case (cp. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56388/avoid-line-break-after-macro) In general, I do not understand, where the paragraph break at the \placefigure... comes from. It does not seam necessary in most cases (e.g. location=top) and postponing does avoid it. Can I 'gobble' it somehow? Does anyone have an idea, how to make it work for images as well as text combined? Andy

Beginner question. Chapter heading in words
by Andrew Dowell 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi I've some experience with Latex (written a thesis in it) but have just started to try ConteXt as my son wants me to typeset a story he's written as an A5 book, and ConteXt seems to do that more easily than Latex. However, he wants the chapter headings to be on the form: Chapter One This is the Name of the First Chapter ie. with the chapter number in words, centred on the page, and then the title of the chapter centred below it. (By default it seems to do it as a numeral and then the title on the the same line) He'd also like the title of the book as the header for even pages and the title of the chapter as a header for odd side pages. I've looked through the manual but can't find obvious instructions as to how to do this. Thanks for any suggestions. Andrew

Synctex problems with context and texworks
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hello there, sind yesterday the pdf-view with synctex had no problems. But today, without any change (afaik), it does not work anymore. The arguments for compiling with context.exe are --synctex $fullname That is default. I deleted the .synctex.gz files manually, but it did not help. What could be the problem? Thanks Huseyin

How to put a \placefigure with no caption?
by Marcin Borkowski 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi there, \placefigure[here]{none}{<image>} seems to actually typeset "none" as a caption. What do I do if I want no caption (not even the "Figure 1" thing, in fact)? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
