empty TOC
by Peter Rolf 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi, I get an empty TOC again when compiling the documentation for the drops module. The entries for the TOC are set in the *.tuc file, but the TOC in the document stays empty. I tried the "[criterium=all]" option, same result. A TOC example from the wiki worked, so this time not a general problem. The *.log and the *.tuc file are attached, source can be sent off-list. BTW: archive.contextgarden.net seems to be down Peter ConTeXt version: 2012-01-02 luatex version: 0.74

Make annotations tolerant against empty lines
by Marco Patzer 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi, if the first line after an annotation start is empty, a new line is introduced. How can I make it tolerant so that the following both examples come out equal (Content and the annotation text on the same line)? \usemodule [annotation] \defineannotation [myannotation] \setupannotation [myannotation] [alternative=myalternative] \defineannotationalternative [myalternative] [renderingsetup=annotation:myalternative] \startsetups [annotation:myalternative] Content: \placeannotationcontent \stopsetups \starttext \startmyannotation \input knuth \stopmyannotation \blank \startmyannotation \input knuth \stopmyannotation \stoptext Marco

Error markers for invalid section references
by Marco Patzer 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi, in the final stage of a document I always run a grep for ?? and xxxx on the document to find invalid references and missing bibliography entries. However, in documents that do not have a section number the references to the number are also wrong, they need to be references to the name instead of the number. In this case no error marker is printed and AFAIK not even a hint in the log file. The correct way is to use \about instead of \in. Here's an example: \setuphead [section] [number=no] \starttext \startsectionlevel [title=Alpha] See section \in[invalid]. \par %% prints ?? See section \in[sec:bar]. \par %% prints nothing See section \about[sec:bar]. %% correct reference \startsectionlevel [title=Foo] \stopsectionlevel \startsectionlevel [title=Bar, reference=sec:bar] \stopsectionlevel \stopsectionlevel \stoptext The wrong \in[invalid] reference receives an easy to find error marker and an entry in the log file. The wrong entry \in[sec:bar] is hard to find. Is there a way to add ?? for those cases as well? Marco

Re: [NTG-context] MetaPost Animations
by Jeong Dal 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the explanation and the correction of the code. It works nicely. It also taught me some other things too. I'd like to ask you one more thing. When you update the animation module, would you please concern the location of the menu? I think that it is better to put it at the bottom center of the animation frame in default? Currently, it is located slightly left from the center. Thanks again. Best regards, Dalyoung

by Roland Thiers 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hello, I have tried the simpleslides module. Starting with it is very nice. I have get some trouble with \IncludePicture. Running : ConTeXt ver: 2012.12.28 20:30 MKIV fmt: 2012.12.29 int: english/english \IncludePicture [horizontal] [riviere] {La Dumbéa} do not work. Maybe that problem is new (process succeded a few time ago). If I use \externalfigure, no problems. Best regards, Roland
