preventing page breaks after headings
by Alan Bowen 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Is there a way in MKII to ensure that there is never a page break between a heading and the following text? \setuphead[after={\page[no]}] does not seem to work without entering vertical mode before \page. But, so far, I have not found a way to enter vertical mode in after={…} that does not add interlinespace and thus place the text too far from the heading. Any suggestion or alternatives? Alan

wrong page numbers when using arranging
by Pavel Dohnal 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, I am using \setuparranging and it causes me an error in referencing to pages. I want place number of page into text but this page number is wrong. As you can see in attached example, "Chapter 2" is printed on page 3 but command \at prints page 4. Could you please advise how to get the correct page number for "Chapter 2"? That is page number 3? Thank you Pavel Dohnal \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \starttext Chapter 1 - \at[chapter1]\\ Chapter 2 - \at[chapter2]\\ Chapter 3 - \at[chapter3]\\ Chapter 4 - \at[chapter4]\\ Chapter 5 - \at[chapter5]\\ \chapter[chapter1]{Chapter 1} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter2]{Chapter 2} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter3]{Chapter 3} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter4]{Chapter 4} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter5]{Chapter 5} {\input knuth } \stoptext

Thanks, I missed that change!

Thanks a lot, that did it!

Unfortunately now the "paragraph" parameter in \setupnote[footnote][location=text,paragraph=yes] is ignored while it is working with location=page... You need \setupnote[…][paragraph=yes] and \setupnotation[…][display=no] (best add also “alternative=serried”) to have footnote etc. as a single paragraph. \setupnote [footnote][location=text,paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[footnote][display=no,alternative=serried] Wolfgang

Twittering
by Bill Meahan 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Hopefully, this is not (too far) OT. I'm not sure how many on the list use Twitter but if you do, you still might not be aware of the daily "TeXTip" tweets. These contain a URL to one place on the web or another that have something to do with TeX/LaTeX usage. I'm thinking it would be great to have a daily "ConTeXtTip" tweet as well. Am I the only one? I'm way too much of a ConTeXt newbie or I'd do it myself. Of course, I _could_ serve as the Point Of Context and do the actual Tweeting of URLs or tips that fit into 140 characters that were emailed to me. If this is too far OT, my most profound apologies to the members of the list and especially the list masters. -- Bill Meahan K8QN "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." -- William Arthur Ward This message is digitally signed with an X.509 certificate to prove it is from me and has not been altered since it was sent.

Portrait -> Landscape -> Portrait
by pddzaic 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Hello context-friends, I have switched from Latex to Context and my first impression of Context is: WOW :-) Unfortunately, I did not understand how to switch between landscape and portrait. Here a minimal working example: \mainlanguage[en] \setuplayout[ paper=A4, topspace=1cm, header=2cm, headerdistance=0.25cm, footerdistance=0.25cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=1cm, margin=2.5cm, width=middle, height=middle] \starttext \showframe \chapter{First chapter} \input knuth % Change to landscape \page\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \section{First section} \input knuth % Reverts to the global layout \page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait] \chapter{Second chapter} \input knuth \stoptext As you can see in the result the layout of the landscaped-page is not as I expected. Can somebody help me? Best regards, Peer

When you use a table environment which is broken across pages together with the same environment in header settings can sometimes mix. In your case it’s best to use \framed in the header which does the same and is also faster but even then one problem remains. By default \framed uses \linewidth for “rulethickness” and natural tables assign a different value to this length, this results in wrong rules in the header when you don’t change the value (see example below). Here is a better version for the header of your document. \startsetups[header] \setupframed[width=0.2\textwidth,height=\headerheight,align=middle,offset=2mm,rulethickness=0.4pt] \dontleavehmode \startframed Rev \stopframed \startframed[width=0.6\textwidth,foregroundstyle=\ssbfa] \getvariable{document}{projectname}\\ \getvariable{document}{documenttitle} \stopframed \startframed some text \stopframed \stopsetups BTW: Please use next time the normal mailing list for such problems and not the developer list.

footnotes location=text

Dear list, after switching to the current beta (2012.06.09 01:22) manually placed footnotes are being placed _both_ on the page and at the place specified by \placenotes. And another one: I'd like to align the footnote number with the text (instead of having it ahng into the margin). Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes#Special_Needs I tried the location key in \setupnotation but this doesn't seem to do anything. \showframe \definenote [myFoot] \setupnote [myFoot] [location=text] \definenote[myOtherFoot] \setupnotation[myOtherFoot][location=left] \starttext \input knuth\myFoot{a footnote (which should be placed in the text)} \input knuth\myOtherFoot{ this footnote number should be aligned with the edge of the text.} \page \placenotes[myFoot] \stoptext thanks in advance!best, Daniel
