\setuplist[alternative=g] bug with interactive document
by Pablo Rodríguez 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hi Wolfgang, I have a with \setuplist[alternative=g] in an interactive document. Here you have the minimal sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupcombinedlist[content][interaction=all] \setuplist[part][alternative=g] \setuplist[chapter][alternative=d] \starttext \completecontent \part{part} \chapter{chapter} \part{part} \stoptext The second \part should start a new line. I now that you told me that I was misusing “alternative=g”, because it was meant for interactive documents (but this is exactly what I have). Sorry, but since I got no reply, I'm still wondering whether this is a bug or an illegitimate use of “alternative=g”. Would you be so kind to explain what is wrong here. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

epub
by Jörg Hagmann 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

I would like to prepare some student material in epub format and tried the "export-example.tex" as follows: - context export-example (by the way, gives an error with the latest beta, not with 2011.12.19 22:53, but produces the output; shouldn't matter here). - mtxrun --script epub --make export-example (tells me "sh: 7z: command not found", but produces an epub file. Zipping manually doesn't make a difference). In Calibre, only the text appears -- no paragraphs or anything else. The same happens when I try a minimal example with just paragraphs, bold, italic and sections. Most likely I misunderstood something, or is epub support still too preliminary (see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/epub)? I'm using current version: 2012.02.16 09:55 on a Mac (Lion). Thanks, Jörg

Re: [NTG-context] Layout: odd, even and newLayout
by Jan Heinen 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hi, no answer to my question? To easy or to difficult? Please see above. Isn't it possible to define individual layouts when using the default layouts like odd and even? Regards Jannis ===== Copy I first want to use layouts for "odd" and "even" pages and then I want to use a "newLayout" but it does not work: \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=inleft] \setuplayout [marking=on, location=middle] \showframe \definelayout [odd][topspace=5cm,backspace=0cm] \definelayout [even][topspace=0cm,backspace=0cm] \definelayout [newLayout] [topspace=2cm,backspace=10cm] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte} \page \setuplayout [newLayout] % Now backspace must be 10cm, but it is still 0cm \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte} \page \stoptext Regards Jannis

Hi Hans, in the following sample, the first chapter has the correct margin on the content list, but the second one doesn't have any margin. \setuplist[part][alternative=b] \setuplist[chapter][alternative=d,margin=2em] \starttext \completecontent \part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} a \part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} b \stoptext I'm afraid this might be a bug introduced in latest beta.
