How to use local layout parameters (instead of global ones)?
by Géry Ogam 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hello, Here is my problem: \setuplayout[% width=0.75\paperwidth, height=\dimexpr\paperheight-1.2\paperwidth+1.2\textwidth+26mm] \definelayout[luxury][% width=0.6667\paperwidth, height=\dimexpr\paperheight-1.2\paperwidth+1.2\textwidth+26mm] \starttext - textwidth: \the\textwidth \crlf - textheight: \the\textheight \page \setuplayout[luxury] - textwidth: \the\textwidth \crlf - textheight: \the\textheight % <-- The height (\texteight parameter) which depends on the width (\textwidth parameter) in my ‘luxury’ layout has NOT changed though the local width (\textwidth parameter) has changed. Therefore height used the global parameter \textwidth (defined in setuplayout) instead of the local parameter \textwidth (defined in definelayout[luxury]). Question: how to use the local one? \stoptext Best regards.

Integral limits
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi, In MkII, it was possible to change the limits on integrals using \setupmathematics[integral=...] % limits, nolimits, displaylimits that would affect how \int, \iint, \iiint, \oint, etc behaved. I can see two ways of definining a similar feature in MkIV. 1. Define \intop, \iintop, etc in char-def.lua and then somewhere define: \define\int{\intop\intlimits} \define\iint{\intop\intlimits} etc. 2. Define a new mathclass "intop" and use that in char-def.lua. Then, in the appropriate math-*.lua file, map intop to the appropriate macro. What would be the best way to go? Thanks, Aditya

(critical edition) orphan and widows in lines environment
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Dear Thomas, Luigi and Hans, an old issue is that there is no way to prevent widows an orphans in the lines environment. This would be important for verse. Hans, you told us that you have it in the agenda (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/073769.html) It might be interesting to implement this now. Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

PDF bookmarks - incorrect titles for registers
by Jan Tosovsky 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Dear All, when I specify custom titles for my registers, they are ignored in bookmarks: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \defineregister[indexname][indexnames] \defineregister[indexsubject][indexsubjects] \setupheadtext[indexname=Name Index] \setupheadtext[indexsubject=Subject Index] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Chapter}text\indexname{primary}\indexsubject{primary} \startbackmatter \completeindexname \completeindexsubject \stopbackmatter \stoptext Is it necessary to switch something else on? Thanks, Jan ConTeXt 2013.11.14 & Win 7

(critical edition) compressseparatorbefore and compressseparatorafter
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Dear Thomas, Luigi and Hans, code first: \definepapersize[mine][width=3in,height=2in] \setuppapersize[mine] \definelinenote[Variant] \setupnote[Variant][paragraph=yes, inbetween=\hskip2.5em] \setupnotation[Variant][alternative=serried,distance=1em,compress=yes, width=broad] \starttext \startlinenumbering This\Variant{That} context\Variant{document} is\Variant{was} a sample\Variant{an example} that I\Variant{she} want\Variant{didn’t want} to show\Variant{publish}\stoplinenumbering \stoptext With compressed linenotes (when compressseparator isn’t set to none), I think is important to have the ability to specify different lengths for the compressseparator than for the linenotes. If neither of them is defined, compressseparatorbefore should have the same value as inbetween from setupnote and compressseparatorafter should take its value from distance in setupnotation. But with the sample above, I think that the spacing that can make sense for line numbers might be visually misleading for separators. Here I’m only an amateur, Thomas, you are the professional. What do you think of this feature? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Re: [NTG-context] ToC - right-alignment of roman numerals

I am almost there, but things get complicated when chapters are combined with preface/index titles without numbering and thus aligned improperly: \setupcombinedlist[content][list=chapter, alternative=c] \setupcombinedlist[chapter][ distance=1em, width=1cm, numbercommand={\simplealignedbox{\listparameter{width}}{flushright}}, ] \starttext \completecontent \startfrontmatter \chapter{Preface}text \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter}text\index{primary} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \completeindex \stopbackmatter \stoptext Is there any way how to indent these non-numbered titles so that they start where the chapter title starts?

(critical edition) not hyphenated body with linenotes
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Dear Thomas, Luigi and Hans, here is my first sample to the critical edition project of Thomas. I think it is a bug. This is the code: \setuppapersize[A8] \starttext \startlinenumbering This text shows a \startlinenote[one]{bariant H} variant \stoplinenote[one]. This text shows a \startlinenote[two]{bariant H}variant\prewordbreak\stoplinenote[two]. \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Last word from body text from linenote isn’t hyphenated unless \prewordbreak is added. Could you add this internally, so it isn’t required to add it to every linenote? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Argument of \147>flushright has an extra }. There was a missing comma after the numbercommand parameter! Strange... Jan
