Logical Page Numbers (PDF Bookmarks)
by Troy Henderson 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

I know how to make the page numbers in the frontmatter to use Roman numerals, say, and in the bodymatter use Arabic numerals. I also know how to reset the page counter so that the numbering "starts over" after the frontmatter. However, I would like to have the page numbers appear in the PDF bookmarks appear as i, ii, iii, ... , 1, 2, 3, ... If there are 5 pages in the frontmatter, then all of my page numbers are off by 5 in the PDF bookmarks. How can this be fixed? Troy Henderson

using different xml-tree's?
by H. van der Meer 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

I would like to process my <dvd> nodes in more than one way but I am stuck with the implementation. The trees could start in a different setup: \startxmlsetups xml:dvdfirst:dvd .. \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:dvdfirst:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument} {error|setup|dvd .. and \startxmlsetups xml:dvdsecond:dvd .. \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:dvdsecond:setups .. I thought I could call the variants (data collected in a buffer) with: \xmlprocessbuffer{dvd}{data.xml}{xml:dvdfirst:dvd} en \xmlprocessbuffer{dvd}{data.xml}{xml:dvdsecond:dvd} But this does not work. Neither for example ..{xml:dvdfirst} Guess I am mistreating the 3rd parameter of \xmlprocessbuffer{}{}{initial-xml-setup}. The manual says "process the tree starting with initial-xml-setup. What am I doing wrong? Hans van der Meer

\copypages and page numbers
by Troy Henderson 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

I have a scanned (raster) PDF that I am inserting into my document via \copypages. However, the document's page number is not showing on top of this raster PDF page (presumably because \copypages places the page on top of everything else). How can I ensure that the page number is on top of raster page instead of behind? Troy Henderson

Emoticons ;-)
by Matthias Weber 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Dear all, I hope this doesn't get me banned from the ConTeXt list. What is the easiest/best way to add emoticons in ConTeXt as letters/symbols? In LaTeX, there is a package wasysym that gives \smiley and \frownie. It appears to be based at least partially on MetaFont code by Taco from 1998? I am aware that one can use images as characters as well, but I am looking for a cleaner solution. Incidentally (and irrelevant for my current purposes), my dream/nightmare would be to have animated emoticons in a PDF file. Is that at all possible? Thanks, Matthias

Alignment problem with labels and textext
by Lutz Haseloff 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi Hans, hi all, with the most recent ConTeXt (This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013021110 (rev 4576) ConTeXt ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV fmt: 2013.2.11 int: english/english) there is an alignment problem with labels using textext. Labels without textext work ok. Small example showing the problem: --------------------------------- \starttext \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt (textext("right") , point 0 of p) ; label.top (textext("top") , point 2 of p) ; label.lft (textext("left") , point 4 of p) ; label.bot (textext("bottom") , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt ("right" , point 0 of p) ; label.top ("top" , point 2 of p) ; label.lft ("left" , point 4 of p) ; label.bot ("bottom" , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext --------------------------------- Greetings Lutz

Big double quotes
by Devendra Ghate 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hello, I am trying to reproduce as closely as possible the large double quotes in the attached file. Though the actual glyph of the double quotes is not important for me (I have gone through the glyphs for CM without any success!), I would like to keep the double quotes large to attract attention to the quote. So I have essentially two problems: 1. Get a close enough glyph. I tried standard double quotes and also tried to use ′′ (U+02033) with context name *m: doubleprime*. But it doesn't produce anything. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. 2. Whatever may be the glyph, make is large. I have tried *\quotation* environment but it enlarges the text as well. I didn't see any option for enlarging *only* the quotation marks in *typo-del.mkiv*. So I tried to enlarge them myself. However, this leaves a large interlinespace before the last sentence. I would be grateful for any suggestions though outright solutions won't go remiss. Devendra *MWE* \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [style={\tfc}] \definefont [quotesStyle] [Serif at 20pt] \starttext %\getnamedglyphdirect{modern}{m: doubleprime} %\getnamedglyphdirect{modern}{second} {\quotesStyle \symbol[leftquotation]}This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.{\quotesStyle \symbol[rightquotation]} \blank \startquotation This is would be interesting. \stopquotation \stoptext

Repeating Headers for Tabulate not Working
by Malte Stien 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hello, I just looked up how to enable repeated headers in \starttabulate… \stoptabulate tables. It's explained here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate#Headers …but I am unable to make the minimal example work: \starttext \placetable[split,here][tab:ref]{Sometable} {\starttabulate[|w(.30\textwidth)p|w(.70\textwidth)p|] \HL \NC {\bf Animal} \NC {\bf Comment} \NC\FR \HL \dorecurse{50} {\NC Cat \NC Pretty cool \NC\MR} \NC Bear \NC Kind of lazy \NC\MR \NC Sheep \NC Always hungry \NC\MR \HL \stoptabulate} \stoptext Does that work for anyone else? What am I missing. Thank you, Malte.
