\define with more than 9 parameters??
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hello ConTeXist. Is there in ConTeXt any dirty trick, which can put more than 9 parameters into macro? I mean for example \define[25]\macrowithtwentyfiveparams{ .... } I use rarely any trick from Peter Olsak (see below) and I'd like something like that used in ConTeXt. Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is minimal example of trick of Petr Olsak: \newcount\tempnum \def\terminator{*} \newcount\tempnum \def\readparameters{\tempnum=0\let\next=\readone \next} \def\readone #1,{\advance\tempnum by 1 \def\param{#1}% %\the\tempnum - \param\par% \ifx\param\terminator \let\next=\relax \else\expandafter\gdef\csname param\the\tempnum\endcsname{#1}% \fi\next} \def\moreparameters#1{% \readparameters #1 % \csname param1\endcsname, % write first parameter \csname param3\endcsname, % write third parameter \csname param5\endcsname, % write fifth parameter } \starttext %\readparameters a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*, % %\def\parameters{aaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd,eeeee,fffff,ggggg,*,} %\expandafter\readparameters\parameters \moreparameters{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*,} \stoptext

Indenting in \setuplines
by Marcin Borkowski 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hi, I'd like to have my \startlines ... \stoplines indented in the following way: the first two lines unindented, the next two indented, and so on. Basically, this means that I'd like the pattern to be based on (mod 4) arithmetic and not (mod 2). Is it possible? If yes, how? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Itemgroup: reverse and start key
by Aditya Mahajan 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hi, \startitemize[reverse][start=...] does not work as expected. Minimal example: \startitemize[n, reverse][start=2] \item One \item Two \stopitemize Possible fix: Add \c!start=\itemgroupparameter\c!start, to the list of options in \def\strc_itemgroups_insert_item_counter_indeed {....} in strc-itm.mkvi.

Re: [NTG-context] Last standalone version suddenly will not load user module

Thanx very much Wolfgang. Now is all OK. Unfortunately now is necessary have one version of module for TeXLive version of ConTeXt and second version of module for standalone version. But it's not much of a problem now for me... I am afraid, that in the future will my module problematic again and without help I will lose it. Now very much thanx for your help. I will not have sleepless night...

suppress unwanted page breaks
by Ingo Hohmann 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hi ConTextists, I have a few pages with questions and answers \setuptolerance[verytolerant] \defineparagraphs [mypar][n=3,before={\blank[back]}]%,after={\blank[disable]}] \setupparagraphs [mypar][1][width=.01\textwidth,style=bold] \setupparagraphs [mypar][2][width=.95\textwidth] \starttext \page[bigpreference] 1. Question \blank[1*line] \blank[1*line] \startmypar * \mypar First possible answer \mypar \externalfigure[marked] \stopmypar \blank[1*line] \blank[1*line] \startmypar * \mypar Second possible answer \mypar \externalfigure[empty] \stopmypar ... More question and answers blocks \stoptext My problems: - Sometimes the answer is not broken up into lines correctly, but prints over the externalfigure, which is a marker, with the given answer is the correct one. - I want the question to stay together on one page with the answers, but sometimes there are pagebreaks in between. - I guess there are better ways to code this, so if you have a better ideas, go ahead. (I created a minimal example from my multipage text, and hope that I included all relevant setup commands). Kind regards, Ingo Hohmann

Last standalone version suddenly will not load user module
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hello ConTeXist. For several years, I use very often my library for processing CSV tables. Even 2 months ago worked flawlessly in both versions (standalone version and ConTeXt TeXLive 2012). I am update standalone version fairly often (at least one times for two months). Unfortunately, today I found out that my latest standalone version fails to load the library and the compilation is complete with an error message. I find now that I can not detect and correct a problem in the library. Maybe in it any longer unsupported commands. Can someone be read from the attached log file? Or I'll have to conserve the previous version of the standalone for my ConTeXt applications? I can, if necessary, to send my module... Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is content of my log file ... : C:\$~1da\SKOLA\2012-2013\pz2013>context --autopdf xxxxx mtx-context | warning: no (local) file './xxxxx', proceeding mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="xxxxx" --lua="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:autopdf --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./xxxxx" --c:input="./xxxxx" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=8 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.77.0-2013053109 (rev 4635) \write18 enabled.

No way? I am sure, there is some :) Another solution, which would work equally would be to have two footnote-numbers with the same number, which refer to the same footnote. This way: Text [Footnote number 1] text [Footnote number 1] Footer: 1 Some Footnote. Is that possible? Thanks Huseyin
