how to clear the header and footer in some page?
by Tim Li 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

I have set the header and footer in the setup area, so it will occur in every page unless clearing them. In some pages, for example, the page of dedication that the header and footer shouldn't occur there, how can I clear them in pages like this ? Best regards.

Sadness from a Windows ConTeXt user
by Tim Li 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

I have asked Hans about this problem two days ago, but now the problem still. I make sure that my context standalone is the lastest. I download the "context-setup-mswin.zip" from the ConTeXt wiki and extract it to the D:\, double-clicking the firstsetup.bat. When it finish the rest, I add "D:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin" to User Path. Can this get the lastest ConTeXt standalone? I think it can. But when I input "context" in the "cmd", it always tell me this error messages: d:\>context contextmtxrun | forcing cache reload resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'C:/Users/peng/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/' from specification 'selfautoloc:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/' from specification 'selfautodir:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/../texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/../texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/' from specification 'selfautoparent:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'context.lua' mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' d:\> I am only a newbie in ConTeXt so I don't know how to solve this problem.

header variations how?
by Meer, H. van der 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

I tried to put the sectionnumbers in the margin, but it didn't work. The I looked at the example in the ConTeXt Reference Manual and this didn't work either. Why? See the minimal example below where the manual is contrasted with the actual output. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \starttext \startchapter[title=Test] >From ConTeXt Reference Manual 18 october 2012 page 210\crlf \externalfigure[headers.jpg][width=0.8\textwidth] \startsection[title=enclosing section] \setupheads[alternative=normal] \subsection{Title alternative equals normal} \setupheads[alternative=inmargin] \subsection{Title alternative equals inmargin} \setupheads[alternative=middle] \subsubject{Title alternative equals middle} \stopsection ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.20 10:34 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.20 \stopchapter \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Overlapping \starthanging \stophanging with side captions
by Peter Sienkowski 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

Wolfgang, thank you very much for your answer about placing text. Using: \startplacefigure[location=force,title={First dummy caption}] \inmargin{First margin dummy} \externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth] \stopplacefigure The text in the \inmargin section appears at the bottom of the figure. This works for about one line of text. For some of the figures I'm trying to put 3-4 lines in a wide margin and would like the text to appear at the top or the middle of the figure. I asked a question over at Stackexchange on this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/107856/placing-text-in-the-margin-ne… Using \starthanging \stophanging put the text in the correct place but then the figures ran into each other. regards Pete

16 Apr '13

For a presentation, I want to display a series of images as a combination and be able to click on an image to zoom into that image and click again to zoom out. Is it possible to do that? In general, can I create a hyperlink such that clicking on it zooms in on a particular rectangular region on a page? Thanks, Aditya

vskip in lines

With \vskip-0.9cm one can relocate 0.9cm. If one uses grid-setting, it would be easier to give the dimension in lines, like \vskip-2*line – but this gives an error, how to do that correctly? Huseyin
