How to change the color of numbers just before the footnote text?
by Tim Li 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Now I have to change the color of numbers just before the footnote text so that it can match the color of text area. I try to do it like this: \def\myfootnotecolor#1{% \startcolor[red]#1\stopcolor} \setupfootnotes [numbercommand={\myfootnotecolor}] or \setupfootnotes [foregroundcolor=red] either method has no effect.

Overlapping \starthanging \stophanging with side captions
by Peter Sienkowski 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi, I'm trying to have extra explanatory text on the side of figures that is not part of the figure's caption. I can get a single figure to work but am having problems when there are multiple figures one after the other. I'm new to ConTeXT and have looked at the Details Manual but have not been able to fix this. I've been using something like: \starthanging{ \placefigure[force][fig:first]{Caption 1} {\externalfigure[first-figure][width=\textwidth]}} \inother[width=5cm]{Some text for the other bit} \stophanging \starthanging{ \placefigure[force][fig:first]{Caption 2} {\externalfigure[second-figure][width=\textwidth]}} \inother[width=5cm]{Some text for the other bit 2} \stophanging and the two figures will overlap. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks Pete

[***SPAM***] Changing the font of the TOC-Title
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, I know, that I can change the TOC-Title by \setupheadtext[content=Whatever the TOC-Title may be] How can I change the Font of the TOC-Title, is there a style key, or somewhat like that? (Directly "\setupheadtext[content=Whatever the TOC-Title may be, style=Chapterstyle]" does not work, where "Chapterstyle" is a defined Font) Huseyin

strange index behaviour with entries inside separatedlist
by WolfgangZ 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, I get wrong list entries when using my register entries inside separate lists. Example case included, even if it is a bit longer. For explanation, I have two lists, the correct index is in section 1.2 in the attached example and printed on page 3 (see test.pdf). The one that causes trouble is set in section 1.3 (green table) and printed on page 5. There the index links to page 4 instead of page 1, on which the entry is placed. The example gets more strange, as the wrong index entries only occurs if there is no regular text below the table in section 1.3. For testing you can uncomment line 70 in file test.tex. I hope anyone can help to explain that functionality. Best regards Wolfgang

Thanks @Wolfgang and Tim, specially for your long and well understandable explenations, Wolfgang! Should be integrated into the wiki. Huseyin

arc notation Lucida
by John Kitzmiller 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

My primary plea for help is how to make an arc symbol over 3 letters in ConTEXt with lucidaot as body font. In pdfLaTeX I could use package fourier to get such an extensible symbol where \widearc was preferable to \widehat. Hans' new "about" regarding extensible glyphs is suggestive, but because I am kind of a dope, leads me to my secondary call for help: How can I directly enter the 'code' for a LucidaBrightOT character from the tables at TUG: http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/otmath-blocks.pdf and see the result? Or find the name to use in a math $ \symbolname $ environment? Thanks, Kitz

float combinations
by Robert Blackstone 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Dear all, A few days ago (10 April 2013, Vol.106, Issue 25) I posted a question about giving related but not necessarily adjacent floats the same number, as for example Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b. In the meantime I found a, not very elegant, solution that only partly satisfies me. Here is a working example: (I trust the cow and the mill can be found). %--------------------------------------------------- \useexternalfigure[SmallCow][cow.pdf][height=2cm] \useexternalfigure[MediumCow][cow.pdf][height=3cm] \useexternalfigure[Mill][mill.png][height=3cm] \definelist[figure] \setuplist[figure][prefix=yes,label=yes,alternative=c] \starttext This file is for testing the possibility of giving two related musical examples (in old and modern notation respectively) the same figure number with a. and b. as suffixes to the number proper. \placefigure[here][SmallCow1]{A small cow.} {\externalfigure[SmallCow]} A cow again, in two sizes. \in{Figure}[SmallCow2]a shows the same cow as \in{Figure}[SmallCow1]. \placefigure[here][SmallCow2]{{\bf a}. Another small cow.} {\externalfigure[SmallCow]} And here a larger cow (\in{Figure}[MediumCow1]b). \setnumber[figure][1] \placefigure[here][MediumCow1]{{\bf b}. A larger cow.} {\externalfigure[MediumCow]} And here comes a mill. \placefigure[here][Mill1]{A mill.} {\externalfigure[Mill]} \page {\bf List of Figures} \placelist[figure] \completecontent \stoptext %---------------------------------------------------- This way "a" and "b" become part of the caption text, resulting in: Figure 2 a A small ….. etc., and: Figure 2 b A larger …etc. Likewise in the List of Figures. This is not what I would like. Is there a possibility, when not using Combinations, to get: Figure 2a A small ….. etc? Wherever possible I use Combinations but in some cases examples to be combined are very different in size and shape and/or too large to fit on one page together, so that one of them gets cut off. Is there a possibility, when using a combination of figures, to split it, in other words, to separate the figures spatially, to allow them to appear on consecutive pages, and maybe even allowing some text in between? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Read output of external command
by Marco Patzer 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hi, I need to read the standard output of an external command. This is what I came up with: \starttext \startluacode f = io.popen "ls" context(f:read "*a") \stopluacode \stoptext It works with luajittex, plain lua5.1 and lua5.2, but it fails with a current luatex: ! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:3: attempt to index global 'f' (a nil value) stack traceback: [string "\directlua "]:3: in main chunk. Why does this fail in luatex but works in lua5.2 ? What is the correct way to obtain the output of a command? Marco

As I wrote, wherever possible I use combinations for related examples, and they only give problems when the examples are too large to fit on the same page. The solution with itemize does not help here. With small enough figures the results seems not too different from that with Combinations. With large figures stacked vertically the lower one still gets cut off (and with it also the caption when it is placed underneath the figure). If somehow a pagebreak could be inserted between the two items, then this solution would probably work. But I have no idea how to achieve this. Inserting \page between " \startitem A cow\stopitem" and "\startitem A mill \stopitem" changes nothing. Best regards Robert
