Page numbering in latest beta
by Steffen Fritzsche 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Hi, nice surprise, with the latest beta my document just grew 15 pages ;) On a closer look, it turned out that the numbering of my body part is not reset to 1, instead it continues with the next number after my frontpart. Here is how I did set this up long time ago: \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[appendix] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \stopsectionblockenvironment Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance! Steffen

Seeking the incompatibility of versions of ConTeXts
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hello all, I am seeking the incompatibility of ConTeXt minimals standalone and ConTeXt MKIV, which is part of TeXLive the 2011. While TeXLive 2011 ConTEXt MKIV translates example bottom easily then standalone MKIV gives an error. An example is taken from wiki.contextgarden. Just for the record: I am using with success this solution with few luascrips for a simple bibliography (sorting etc.), but only in ConTEXt MKIV TeXLive 2011. I want use it in mimimals standalone too. Thanx. Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my example: \definereferenceformat[cite][left={[},right={]}] \defineitemgroup [bibliography] [levels=1] \setupitemgroup [bibliography][each][s,packed] \setupitemgroup [bibliography] [symbol=n, left={[}, right={]}, width=3em, stopper=, itemalign=flushleft] \appendtoks\let\bibitem\itemgroupitem\to\itemgroupcommands \def\Cite[#1]{\cite[bibl:#1]} \starttext \section{Links to the bibiopgraphy} Sample calls citations in the text. The numbers in square brackets are references to bibliography. Here is the first link \Cite[3] and here next cite \Cite[4], \Cite[1], \Cite[5]. \section{Bibliography} \startbibliography \bibitem[bibl:1] First publication \bibitem[bibl:2] Second publication \bibitem[bibl:3] Third publ. \bibitem[bibl:4] Fourth publ. \bibitem[bibl:5] Fifth publ. \stopbibliography \stoptext

linenote bug with number=no in latest beta?
by Pablo Rodríguez 29 Mar '12

Hi there, I can suppress numbers in footnotes, but not in linenotes, as the following sample shows with latest beta: \setupnotation[footnote][location=columns,number=no] \definelinenote[dict] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{a\footnote{b}\dict{c}} \stoptext I guess it might be a bug.

Re: [NTG-context] Rotating externalfigure

Wolfgang, Interesting. I was able to reproduce the problem with your verbatim minimal example: \starttext \input knuth \placefigure[left]{Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][frame=on, scale=500, orientation=90]} \input knuth \input knuth \stoptext I have uploaded the result here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rmbsrj The cow gets rotated but protrudes the frame at the top overlaying the text. Just in case it is relevant, here is my context version: ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.6 int: english/english Thank you for looking into this. Regards, Malte.

Rotating externalfigure
by Malte Stien 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi all, I am trying to rotate a figure on a page. I believe it should work as follows: \placefigure[left]{Some figure caption}{\externalfigure[some-figure-caption][orientation=90]} ...and the figure does indeed get rotated, but the bounding box appears to be incorrect. The figure ends up being far too small and actually overlays the text above it. I found a couple of posts on the mailing list from years ago regarding this, where people seemed to have related issues. Is there a solution to this? Should this work or am I doing something wrong? I could rotate the figure in the source application, but that is not ideal. Thank you for all your help. Regards, Malte.

Enumerations: location=serried ignored
by Diane Uschner 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hello, I noticed that the enumerations environment is behaving oddly when used for theorem environments. In the following minimal example, the option "location=serried" (which should result in an inline heading) is ignored. Furthermore, the number of corrolary is not displayed, instead of being shared with theorem. The general idea of this exaple is from [1] <http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf>. I've not managed to figure out on my own what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions are appreciated. Diane Context is version 2012.03.13 21:26 MKIV fmt: 2012.3.16 int: english/english. % minimal example \setupenumerations[location=serried,width=broad,distance=0.5em] \defineenumeration[theorem][text=Satz,title=yes] \defineenumeration[corollary][number=theorem,text=Korollar] \starttext \starttheorem[title={Pythagoras Theorem}] The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. \stoptheorem \startcorrolary The sum of angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. \stopcorrolary \stoptext [1] http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf (Aditya Mahajan's "Theorems in Context")

nesting commands with optional arguments
by Daniel Schopper 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Dear list, I have a question concerning nesting commands with optional arguments. I'm trying to put a command with an optional argument inside the optional argument of another one … For sure this is just a simple expansion problem but I have no clue how to handle this … Thanks for any hints! Daniel Please consider the following minimal example: \def\one{\dosingleempty\doOne} \def\doOne[#1]{% in 1st: \doifsomethingelse{#1}{#1}{no arg}\par% } \def\two{\dosingleempty\doTwo} \def\doTwo[#1]{% in 2nd: \doifsomethingelse{#1}{#1}{no arg}\par% } \def\three#1{in 3rd: #1\par} \starttext \one\two \blank \one[\three{myArg}] \blank \one[\two[Argument]] \stoptext This is what I get: ! Use of \doOne doesn't match its definition. system > tex > error on line 18 in file testOpt.tex: Use of ... \doifnextoptionalelse ...xt_optional_command_yes { #1}\def \next_optional_com... <argument> \two [Argument \doifsomethingelse #1->\edef \!!stringa {#1 }\ifx \!!stringa \empty \expandaf... \doOne [#1]->in 1st: \doifsomethingelse {#1} {#1}{no arg}\par l.18 \one[\two[Argument] ]

Dear Diane, Recently, I have seen a mail in which "location=" is changed to "alternative=" in mailing list. You will get what you want if you replace 'location' with 'alternative'. For the number of corollary, I have no idea. Experts in this list will tell you what to do. Best regards, Dalyoung
