Picture before chapter-title, but on same page
by "H. Özoguz" 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Hello there, I want to place a picture at the top on a page, and directly after that a chapter-title (without a page break). I tried it with the key "continue", but that does not work. Here my try: \setuphead [chapter] [continue=yes] \starttext \startplacefigure [title={Some picture.}, reference=fig:demo, number=no] \externalfigure[picture][width=5cm] \stopplacefigure \chapter{Chapter-title} \stoptext How to correct it? Thanks! Huseyin

Problems with columns and grid
by Joshua Krämer 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hello list, in the following minimal working example (using Mark IV), the \column command is ignored. It works if the grid is disabled or balance=no is set. I need the grid, and regarding the balance: without balance, the columns use the whole type area height, but I want additional text to appear underneath the columns. The height parameter doesn't seem to control the columns' height. So my question is: How can I make \column to work or how can I at least set the column height as a workaround? \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startcolumns%[balance=no] left \column right 1\\right 2 \stopcolumns \stoptext Kind regards, Joshua

Hi, the macro \MPfigure in meta-fig.mkiv uses \getfig... , which seems to be undefined for mkiv. Best wishes, Peter

PDF X-3 format.
by john Culleton 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Is there a way to convince Context to output a file in PDF X-3 format? Some of the newer presses and prepress software will accept this format and convert to CMYK automatically, and correctly for that particular press. Scribus will handle PDF X-3 output but seems to choke when long pdf files are imported. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

The following code is copied from the source, I only replace the \par with \kern\headnumberdistance. Have a look at strc-ren.mkiv for other layouts. \setuphead [section] [alternative=middle_nolinebreak] \defineheadalternative [middle_nolinebreak] [alternative=vertical, renderingsetup=headrenderings:middle_nolinebreak] \startsetups[headrenderings:middle_nolinebreak] \vbox { \headsetupspacing \veryraggedcenter \let\\\endgraf \let\crlf\endgraf \ifconditional\headshownumber \strut \headnumbercontent \kern\headnumberdistance \fi \begstrut \headtextcontent \endstrut } \stopsetups \starttext \section{The First Section} \stoptext Marco

ToC - right-alignment of roman numerals
by honyk 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Dear All, in fresh MkIV I use the following commands for building ToC, but I have no idea how to align the label (roman numeral) to the right. In addition, the specified width and distance seem to be somehow ignored so that label interferes with the title. \setuphead[chapter][conversion=Romannumerals] \setupheadnumber[chapter][48] \setupcombinedlist[content][ alternative=c, distance=1em, width=3cm, ] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Foo} \chapter{Bar} \stoptext Here is the link with several screenshots of desired formatting: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/69559/align-the-roman-numbers-of-the- parts-in-toc Any hint is appreciated. Thanks, Jan
