The width setting needs to be applied to the chapter list, not the content list, see example above. Marco

Chapter numbering - applying several commands at once
by Jan Tosovsky 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Dear All, in my book I'd like to precede my titles with the number formated as 'CHAPTER I.', e.g. roman numeral and all this small caped and also in bold as the title itself. In the following definition I can use either: (1) \sc + \setcharactercasing - small caps + lowercased number (but not bold) (2) \smallcaps - bold small caps (but not lowercased number) (3) \setcharactercasing - lowercased number (but not small caps) Idealy I'd like to combine \smallcaps + \setcharactercasing, but this throws an error. I am also considering using just smaller font, but I am facing similar problems as I cannot combine both the casing conversion and e.g. \bfb in single \groupedcommand. I prefer setting the upercased version of Romannumerals as I do not want small roman literals in the TOC or bookmarks. Are there better ways to accomplish this? \definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default, quality}] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \setuplabeltext[en][chapter=chapter~] \setuphead[chapter][ alternative=middle, style=\bfc, conversion=Romannumerals, numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\sc \setcharactercasing[word]}{.\blank[0.4cm]}, ] \setupcombinedlist[content][list=chapter, alternative=c] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Foo}text \chapter{Bar}text \stoptext Thanks, Jan

Not all font provide small caps as font feature, there is still many (older and newer) which use a separate file for them. Wolfgang

When you use a opentype font you can enable the small caps feature with the \feature command, there is no need for an additional font synonym. \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext Text {\feature[+][f:smallcaps]Text} {\bf Text {\feature[+][f:smallcaps]Text}} Text \smallcaps{Text} \bold{Text \smallcaps{Text}} \stoptext Wolfgang

Palatino patch for the current ConTeXt version
by honyk 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Hello Everyone, I am trying to fix a Palatino small caps issue using the procedure explained here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Palatino_Linotype_under_MKIV That fix seems to be obsolete nowadays and returning errors. I've changed fonts.otf.enhancers.patches["^pala"] to fonts.handlers.otf.enhancers.patches["^pala"] which compiles, but it does nothing. I've also tried this variant, but that 'patch' function is never called even though I clear my font cache every run: \startluacode local fonts = fonts local otf = fonts.handlers.otf local patches = otf.enhancers.patches local register = patches.register local report = patches.report function patch (data,filename) report("I am here") report("processing data %s", table.serialize(data)) end register("after","prepare glyphs","^pala", patch) \stopluacode Any idea? Thanks, Jan

Support for Bold Small Caps font alternative
by honyk 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Dear All, in my document I combine both regular and bold small caps. As there is no predefined alternative for bold small caps variant, moreover, combining bold style and small caps has no effect, I've had to override an unused one: \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][file:pala.ttf][features=small-caps] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][file:palab.ttf][features=small-caps] % bold caps Now I can switch styles using \sc and \bs. It would be nice to have a dedicated alternative for this. Or am I missing something? Regards, Jan

I cannot find any rule for this behaviour nor to > reproduce it on a simplified example. Indeed, I find that the interaction does not always work on some bookmarks. My impression was that, for example, a chapter title might not be interactive whereas its first section title would be interactive. However, I have not been able to produce a minimal example demonstrating the behavior (nor have I really tried very hard yet). Alan

Index entries - custom font size
by honyk 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

Hello Everyone, there are lot of index entries in my document and with the standard body font size they occupy too much space. I've tried to decrease the size by the textstyle parameter. It works, but it is applied recursively to every nested level: secondary items are smaller twice and tertiary items three times... \setupregister[index][command=\Word, textstyle=small] \starttext \index{primary}\index{primary+secondary}\index{primary+secondary+tertiary}Te xt \completeindex \stoptext How can I set the same value to all the levels? Thanks, Jan
