How to find the source code/documentation for a specific command
by contact＠thomas-corbiere.name 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hello ConTeXt list, I am a new user of ConTeXt and I am trying to write my very first document with this program. However, it is often difficult to find explanation about commands and their options. Most of the documentation and examples seems outdated or incomplete... I know that you are currently writing a new version of the manuals and that it is a time consuming task so before I plague you with questions I may have, I would like to know how to find the source code of a command (which may include embedded documentation). For example how can I find the source file for the \setupinteraction command? (I am using ConTeXt on Windows.). If I can find more information by myself I will not have to take too much of your time. Regards, Thomas Corbière

Detecting reference-errors
by "H. Özoguz" 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

With \at[ref] one can get the pagenumber of a reference. If this reference is not there (maybe in another file, not included at that moment) there is no error given, but two question marks ??. That is of course useful, but what if I WANT an error? Because that is the only fast way to detect typing errors in references. Else I will have ?? at the end in the book, not very nice Huseyin P.S.: Sorry for the other Mail with the wrong sender-adress.

> Does not work. For two digits, its ok, but beginning with 100 it fails. > Try (see footnote 100): Ok, I have seen the problem, I have simply to increase the width. Thank you!

[***SPAM***] Footnotes indented, but with same distance between text and number
by "H. Özoguz" 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

I indent footnotes with: \setupnotation[footnote][ alternative=left, width=1em, numbercommand=\high] But that causes the following ugliness: The distance between the footnote-number and the footnote-entry is not always the same, it depends now on the length of the footnote-number – see the difference of footnotenumber 9 and 10. By default, that is not the case. How to get the default results with indentation? It is not only an ugliness, it causes problems, when you have really much footnotes, than (with more than 99 or even more than 999 footnotes) the footnotenumber, and the footnote-entry overlap.) Testing by: \setupnotation[footnote][ alternative=left, width=1em, numbercommand=\high] \starttext \dorecurse{100}{\footnote{Fußnote \recurselevel}} \stoptext Huseyin

Mismatched font size when switching fonts in the chapter title

Mismatched font size when switching fonts in the chapter title \setupbodyfont[12pt] \definefontsynonym[PalatinoRoman][name:palatinolinotyperoman][features=default] \definefont[AnotherFont][PalatinoRoman sa 1] \starttext \chapter{On \AnotherFont Fonts} General readers \stoptextIt seems that if switching to another font in the chapter title, the size of these two typefaces is mismatched. This will produce the mismatched font size("On" and "Font"), how to deal with this problem? Tim Li
