footnotes rewritten
by Steffen Wolfrum 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi, as the footnotes mechanism was rewritten, there are several things that don't work anymore (as expected). I collected some of them in my minimal below: The lines with "<- OK!" do work, those marked with "<- ???" don't. Could someone please help me with the new syntax context expects now?

Hello, I cannot find any valid info (reference) about use of the command \definestructureconversionset. I just have some examples. Could anyone explain how these commands should work? \definestructureconversionset[name-of-conversion-set][par1,par2,...][Par1,Par2,...] \definestructureconversionset[name-of-conversion-set][][Par1,Par2,...] % 1St par. set empty \definestructureconversionset[name-of-conversion-set][par1,par2,...][] % 2Nd par. set empty \definestructureconversionset[name-of-conversion-set][par1,par2,...] % 2Nd argument omitted TIA.

Getting changing/random graphics?
by Mari Voipio 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hello all, I'm trying to do something that should be possible and I think "variables" is the answer, I just can't figure out how. I have a pile of photos (jpg) in a directory and the assumption is that they are all the same size and there's a spot for the photo on a layer at the top of the page. I already found out how I can get ConTeXt to draw the layer separately for each page (at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/layers#Use_dynamic_content) but I think I need a "variables for dummies" page... This time I'm not too picky, the images can be used randomly or in the order they are in the directory and then cycled, I'd just like to use more than one (and I'm so not doing every page by hand). So, if I have photo1.jpg photo2.jpg photo3.jpg photo4.jpg and \dorecurse{10}{insert random photo here}, how do I do it? Thank you, Mari

Dynamic content on layers - wiki example not working
by Mari Voipio 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hello! I'm trying to place dynamic content on a layer and now it turns out that while getting a different pic every time is easy, getting the layers redrawn wasn't that simple. The wiki has this code: \definelayer [pagenumber] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, preset=middle, state=repeat] \setlayer[pagenumber]{Page \pagenumber} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=pagenumber] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\page[empty]} \stoptext AFAIK, that should be a complete minimal sample. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work, at least my ConTeXt MkIV of February 8 only gives "Page 1" on every one of those 4 pages... How to fix this? Preferably on the "Dummies" level, I'd prefer not to see the bowels of my ConTeXt, if I can avoid it. Thanks, Mari

I will pursue the direction you set me. --John

How to start every new chapter on page 1!?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi ConTeXt Users, I'd like to start every chapter on page one. The footer should contain the chapter number followed by the page number. So page three of chapter 10, should read something like 10-3. I was thinking way=bychapter in the \setuppagenumbering command would do the trick. However I see no change at all when changing the way parameter from the default mypart to mychapter! Anybody any hint on this issue? Thanks in advance! Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2012.02.18 10:50 MKIV fmt: 2012.2.18 int: english/english. Regards, Gerard Verhaag

enumerate fillinlne
by John Kitzmiller 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Any hints on enumerating fillinlines? Below describes the request (I hope this fomats okay on forum) the answer lines align with the top line of the question and are in a margin column: 1. Here is a question. 1. __________ 2. Here is another question. If it wraps 2. __________ around the text should be in a block and the fillinline should be aligned with the first line of the question. Diagrams can also be part of the questions. I accomplish this in pdfLaTeX by defining command: \newcommand{\ansblank}{\leavevmode\marginpar{\labelenumi\hrulefill\raggedright\par}} So, in enumerate environment \item\ansblank does the the trick. My inexperienced attempts with ConTeXt make a terrible hash of it. Thanks.

random bookmarks not linked (with example)
by Steffen Wolfrum 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi Hans, finally I managed to figure out a "minimal" 3 page example that can reproduce this strange bug! It seems to be an interaction of \cite and \index with sectioning/bookmark generation: Please run "chap_1.tex" and click on the bookmark "1.1.2 SIX" ... no destination is set. (As I explained before, this does not mean that anything strange is going on at \subsection{SIX}. If the minimal file was longer, the missing link would have been somewhere else.) If I delete the used \index entries the bug is gone. And if I delete the used \mycite commands the bug is gone, too. I hope this test file might help ... Steffen -------

\em producing red text?
by Alasdair McAndrew 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

In some overheads I'm creating, I'd like emphasized text {\em like this} to appear as red. I hoped that something like this would work: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em={slanted, textcolor=red}] but it doesn't. What is the canonical way of obtaining red, emphasized, text? Thanks, Alasdair -- Blog: http://amca01.wordpress.com Web: http://sites.google.com/site/amca01/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alasdair.mcandrew
