Draw a line below the header texts
by Tim Li 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi, now I need a line below the header text to seperate the header texts from the text area. I have't soloved this problem, have to ask for help (the method from google doesn't work any more. This new one is from Aditya, but still has some problem that I don't know how to deal with) \setuplayout [header=\lineheight, headerdistance=\lineheight, footer=\lineheight, footerdistance=\lineheight] \setuppagenumbering [location=, alternative=doublesided] \definepagebreak [chapterpagebreak] [yes,header,footer,right] \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\it\pagenumber}] \setuphead [chapter] [style=\bfc, header=empty, footer=chapterstart, page=chapterpagebreak] \setupheader [style=\it] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[sectionnumber]\hskip1em\getmarking[section][first]}] [pagenumber] [{Chapter~\getmarking[chapternumber]\hskip1em\getmarking[chapter]}] [pagenumber] \setupbackgrounds [header][text] [bottomframe=on] \starttext \chapter{First Chapter} this is the first chapter \section{section 1} \page \section{section 2} the second page of the first chapter \page \section{section 3} the third page of the first chapter \chapter{Second Chapter} this is the second chapter \section{section 1} \page \section{section 2} the second page of the second chapter \stoptext The rule shouldn't be above the chapter head ``1 First Chapter" at page 1 and page 4 should be true empty, since it is just before Chapter 2 and has no contents. Of course, I hope that I can solve these two problems by myself, but ... I really need some help from you. Best regards, Tim

How do you customize the chapter number format?
by Lance Larsen 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

I am trying to update the chapter number formatting for the chapter heading. By default the numbering is like 1 First Chapter 1.1 First Section I would like to change this to: 1.0 First Chapter 1.1 First Section Adding the following command worked, except it did not change the numbering in the table of contents: \setuphead[chapter][numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{.0\blank[2cm]}] Any suggestions for how I change the numbering so that the 1.0 shows up in the table of contents as well? -Lance Larsen

Thank you. How can I make this change in our ConTeXt installations? As noted previously, the only place I could find a mention of / for i=1 upto NOfTextColumns-1/ was in some code that was already commented out. So I don't know how I would comment it out any more effectively than that. > Hans > > ps. sometimes there is some specific test code that then depends on > other experimental code being present > > ps. in mkiv it's all redone anyway and i will redo columnsets one of > these days too; Jut to make sure it's clear, I'm running ConTeXt with mkiv. (ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.11) I mention that because I'm not sure if your statement about mkiv implies that this error shouldn't be happening if I'm already using mkiv. Lars

> What’s wrong with the \blank command? > >>> \setuphead >>> [subject] >>> [before={\blank[2*big]}, >>> after={\blank[big]}, > > before={\blank[26pt]}, > after={\blank[13pt]} Nothing wrong - everithing in best order. I didn't know that it's possible to use sizes with \blank. I put the information into the wiki. Thanx Jannis

Re: [NTG-context] space before and after headlines

It's working. I have put the example into the wiki. What can be done to say: 26pt before the heading and 13pt after the heading instead of using \blank ? > \setuphead > [subject] > [before={\blank[2*big]}, > after={\blank[big]}, > style=bold] > >\starttext > >\subject{Headline 1} > \stoptext

space before and after headlines
by Jan Heinen 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

I want to create a macro for headlines. - before the headline there should be a big space - after it a small space - when the headline is at the beginning of the page there shouls be no space before the headline. A workaround could be this - although it's not very comfortable: \starttext {bf Headline 1} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \blank[2*big] {bf Headline 2} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \blank[2*big] {bf Headline 3} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \stoptext Greetings Jannis
