block with different formatting per line?
by Ingo Hohmann 06 Feb '13

Hi, is it possible to define a block, where lines are automatically formatted differently? For example: first line in caps, second in bold, others normal. Is this possible? And how? Kind regards, Ingo

\setlayer on \startalign row
by Troy Henderson 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

I would like to make a "row" of a \startalign ... \stopalign "hidden". The following fails. \starttext \definelayer[hiddenlayer][state=stop] \startformula \startalign[n=3,align={right,middle,left}] \NC a \NC = \NC b \NR \setlayer[hiddenlayer]{\NC a + c \NC = \NC b + c \NR} \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext Troy Henderson

So probably my definition of new alignment "block" was not successful and when using \setupalign the alignment with the keyword "block" is simply ignored. Is there any possibility to find out if the new alignment was really defined and exists? \installalign {block} {\parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em} % Next command is probably ignored? Can I test if the alignment "block" % really exists? \setupalign[block] Best regards Pavel

Hi, now I noticed that I can even use some non-existing alignment: \setuppapersize[A5] \setuplayout[location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, height=fit, width=109mm ] \setupindenting[next,\baselineskip] \indenting[yes] \setupalign[nonexisting] \starttext Today, automated typesetting is quite popular, which is partly due to the fact that document coding standards have evolved, in particular XML. For instance, when you navigate the internet, a typesetting engine is at work to render the pages. When you ask for a print preview, you often get a different rendering. So, one document source can result in different views. The vehicle that we use for automated typesetting of books is called CONTEXT. This system is based on the well known typesetting engine and language TEX and the graphic programming environment METAPOST. \stoptext This example is processed without errors although there is no definition of the alignment "nonexisting". Is it not strange?

No number of chapter in TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

Hi there, after each chapter I begin with a section. So in the table of content every chapter has the same page-number as the section, which comes directly after the chapter-title (so no text is between them). In the TOC it is not necessary to have Chapter 1 ........... 7 Section 1 .............7 .... Chapter 1 ............. 22 Section 1 .............. 22 And so on. How can I deactivate page-numbers in the TOC for the chapters, it should be this way in the TOC: Chapter 1 Section 1 .............7 .... Chapter 1 Section 1 .............. 22 Thanks Huseyin

Rotating \copypages
by Troy Henderson 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

I have a PORTRAIT letter size PDF that I would like to include in my LANDSCAPE letter size document. I am doing \setuppapersize[letter,landscape] \starttext \copypage[foo.pdf] \stoptext but foo.pdf is being inserted "as-is" and thus is being clipped since the height of a letter size page is 8.5in and the height of foo.pdf is 11in. I would like to use \copypages to insert foo.pdf rotated 90 degrees. How can this be done? Troy Henderson

Example from FAQ not working?
by hanak＠wpb.cz 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi, I tried this example from Context FAQ but without success: \installalign {block} {\parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em} % followed by \setupalign[block] I expected no last line will be shorter than the paragraph indenting, but it didn't work. If I used the plainTeX commands directly (without trying to install and use the new alignment) everything worked as expected: \parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em Has anybody the explanation for this? My luatex version is beta-0.74.0-2012122510 (TeX Live 2013/dev)(rev 4541). Best regards Pavel

Adobe Garamond with Simplefont
by "H. Özoguz" 05 Feb '13

Hi there, I wanted to use Adobe Garamond Pro by: \usemodule [simplefonts][size=10.5pt] \setmainfont[name:Adobe Garamond Pro][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hanging] But it fails by the following error: +++++++++++++++++ fonts > bodyfont 10.5pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 12.6pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 8.4pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [simplefonts:1-10.5pt-rm-tf--0] ) structures > begin of sectionblock frontpart fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [thedefinedfont--0] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [thedefinedfont--0] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [simplefonts:1-10.5pt-rm-tf--4] ++++++++++++++++++ So it seems that the name is wrong? In Windows the name is "Adobe Garamond Pro", how to find the correct name for ConTeXt? And by the way: What does mean "fonts > bodyfont 10.5pt is defined (can better be done global)", what to do better? Thanks Huseyin

External figures from other folders
by "H. Özoguz" 05 Feb '13

Hi there, for images I use: \startplacefigure [title=desciption, reference=fig:demo, number=no] \externalfigure[example][width=13cm] \stopplacefigure But how to reference to the image, if it is in another folger. Say my context mainfile is in ...\projekt and the images are in \projekt\images, then how to reference correctly directly to the images in the subfolder "images"? Thanks Huseyin
