Fraction with a fraction in the denominator
by Sander Maijers 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hi, How can I make the subfraction in the denominator of a fraction appear smaller even though the nominator is very small? This gives basically three equally long division lines: \startfomula \frac{\mu_{Z}}{\frac{\sqrt{\VAR{Z}}{\sqrt{N_{\text{segments}}}}} \stopformula

[***SPAM***] Source files for ConTeXt manuals
by honyk 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Dear All, as a newbie I am investigating various ConTeXt (MkIV) concepts and I feel that any direct comparison of the source and the final output would help me a lot. While in the ConTeXt reference manual I can see e.g. nice side-by-side framed text blocks, I am lost in various text box, framing or columns switches and unable to create something similar. While in this guide http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf I can see many options for font expansion, something like this is not applicable to MkIV: \setupfonthandling [hz] [min=30,max=30,step=5] I've search for doc source in the source browser http://source.contextgarden.net/ but I still haven't found anything promising. Any idea? I just try to avoid spamming the list with most likely obvious and silly questions :-) Regards, Jan

\processcommalist and load values into macros.
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Hello ConTeXist. Obviously I have a problem with expansion. My question is: How can I place the elements of the list into macros for later use? Basically, my point is that I want assign individual values into macros within the cycle of and those subsequently used in a buffer to creating my own report. Perhaps is can be understood what I want from my minimal example. Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Minimal example: \let\filename\null \let\firstname\null \let\surname\null \let\city\null \let\street\null \let\postcode\null \def\dosomething#1{#1\par} \def\loadlistdatatomacros#1,#2,#3,#4,#5 { \global\def\firstname{#1} \global\def\surname{#2} \global\def\town{#3} \global\def\street{#4} \global\def\postcode{#5} } \startbuffer[mypostbuffer] \dosomething % \loadlistdatatomacros FIRSTNAME: \firstname\par SURNAME: \surname\par CITY \city\par STREET \street\par POSTCODE \postcode\par \page \stopbuffer \starttext \processcommalist[ {John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 11500 }, {Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20 }, {Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54 }, ]{\getbuffer[mypostbuffer]} \stoptext

Exporting labels from a ConTeXt document
by Lance Larsen 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

I have a document with several equations included. I need to reference these in an external document. To automate the process, I need a mapping between the equation label (i.e., eq:my_eq_name) to an equation number such as (4.22). Is there a way to export this mapping possibly as a command line input? Or is there a log file I can parse to get this information (the *.tuc file did list equation reference names, but I did not see a mapping to equation numbers). If there is not a command line option to dump this information, what is the best way to extract it. Can I embed lua code in the document that reads the equation number as the document in processed? If I could read the number from lua, I could write this to a file. Any help is appreciated. -Lance Larsen

Database module and command key
by Wolfgang Schuster 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Hi Hans, why has the meaning of the command key changed in MkIV? In MkII you can define a command which has as many argument as entries in the list. % engine=pdftex \usemodule[database] \starttext \define[3]\TestCommand{\ruledhbox{#1:#2:#3}} \defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand] \starttest 1,2,3 \stoptest \stoptext In MkIV the argument of the command key is applied to each entry in the list and you can’t grab all entries with a single command. \usemodule[database] \starttext \define[1]\TestCommand{\ruledhbox{#1}} \defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand] \starttest 1,2,3 4,5,6 \stoptest \stoptext Wolfgang

[***SPAM***] Strategies to control moving footnotes
by "H. Özoguz" 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

I have often the problem of moving footnotes (with activated grid setting). That means, the footnote is not on the same page as the footnotenumber, but moved on the next page. That apperas often if you have a book with many not-so-short footnotes. Maybe one has to accept that, but in some cases it is really ugly. How do you manish these cases, how to control in general this problem? It appears, if the footnote is not very short and the footnotenumber is at the bottom of the page (in the text). So the footnote on the same text would shift the footnotenumber on the next. Are there some automated strategies and keys in context, or is there no other way than manipulating the text itself? Regards, Huseyin
