Two levels of itemization with the 'intext' option

02 Jun '14

Hello, How can I get the output given by the following code with the itemize environment? \starttext \quad---~Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo.\par \quad---~Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo.\par \quad\quad~---~Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo.\par \quad\quad~---~Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo.\par \quad---~Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \stoptext I have tried this, but without success (it works only when there is one level of itemization): \definesymbol[emdashone][\quad---~] \definesymbol[emdashtwo][\quad\quad~---~] \setupitemize[1][packed, fit, intext][symbol=emdashone] \setupitemize[2][packed, fit, intext][symbol=emdashtwo] \starttext \startitemize \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \startitemize \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \stopitemize \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \stopitemize \stoptext Best regards.

Publications working in latest beta?
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Dear List, After some time absent from Context-land, I thought I’d try the new non-BibTeX publications system. However I can’t get the following minimal example to work … \cite seems to expand to a () and there is no rendering of the publications list. Is the problem my example, or is it a bug? Robin \definebtxdataset[test] \usebtxdataset[test][sample.bib] \definebtxrendering[test] \setupbtxrendering[test][numbering=yes] \starttext As \cite[author][test::Eijkhout1991] already indicated, bibtex is a \LATEX||centric program. \placebtxrendering[test] \stoptext ConTeXt ver: 2014.05.23 23:24 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.5.27 int: english/english

sections
by Hans Hagen 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi Pablo, The section breaks are a bit of a headache. In the old mechanism (also mkii) we used penalties between different section levels (different values so that there is some hierarchy). In mkiv we have a weighted penalty/glue mechanism which has advantages but can also create side effects. The method of a few weeks ago coul deal with \section followed by 100 \subsections i.e. no text between this. In a strict mechanism you end up with one long page fur to all the penalties. So, there was some precaution for this. However that didn't work well with content following sections that prefers breaks (read: section head followed by e.g. itemize or tabulate). So, the newer mechanism tries to analyze the page stream which (currently) is somewhat tricky. That's why we need to iterate to an acceptable solution. Some of these mkiv mechanisms are already a bit old and could be done better using some newer luatex trickery (but i need tome to do that). It would be nice to have a large test case for this (sort of hard to make one as some trial and error is involved). As you already have some, best collect them for future reference. A new beta ...

Quotation blocs with repetition symbol in the left column
by Stéphane Goujet 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hello, I am trying to typeset old books and I chose to keep close to the original typography. I have attached two images of what I try to mimic an I try to sum up the requirements hereinbelow. Any advice is appreciated. ================= 1) It must work when starting from a new line as well as when starting from the middle of the current line. 2 different environments are allowed. 2) The environnement is wrapped in guillemets. 3a) There must be no extra space before the opening guillemet when starting from the middle of the current line. 3b) The must be no extra space after the closing guillemet. 4) The quote repetition symbol must appear in the beginning of every line, except the first one. 5) Paragraphs should be automatically indented. Manual indentation is bearable. 6a) When there is an indentation, the quote repetition symbol must be indented too. 6b) When the bloc starts on a new line, the opening guillemet must be indented. 7) The quote repetition symbol must be a setup parameter of the environment, or easily modifiable within the environment definition. (in the example images, it is a *closing* guillemet, but in other books it can be an *opening* guillemet). 8) This environment must work within footnotes too. ================= So far, I have tried to use line numbering to achieve this result. But there are several problems: -- extra space before beginning of bloc, -- quote repetition symbol appears on the first line even when it the beginning of the environment, -- no automatic indentation, -- no indentation of quote repetition symbol, -- lines overflow in the right margin (seems that the "width" used for the numbering is not substracted from the text width), -- no effect in footnotes, and I am not unsure whether carrying on tweaking line numbering is the way to go. Here is a minimal(?) example showing the different possibilities and troubles: ================= \setuppapersize[A4] \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[fr] \language[fr] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] \setupindenting[first,yes,medium] \definestartstop[bloccitel][before={ \setuplinenumbering[location=text,command={»\gobbleoneargument},width=.75em] \startlinenumbering \setupindenting[first,yes,medium] « }, after={»\stoplinenumbering}] \starttext First check: «normal spacing of guillemets». Second check: a normal paragraph, to show {\bf normal right margin limit}. \input tufte Let's start with a quote block on a {\bf new line}: \startbloccitel First paragraph ({\bf quote repetition symbol is not wanted here}):\input tufte Second paragraph ({\bf not automatically indented}):\input tufte \indentation Third paragraph with manual indentation({\bf quote repetition symbol is not indented}):\input tufte \stopbloccitel Now, a quote block starting just there, {\bf in the middle of a line} ({\bf space after colon is too big}):\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel . This a bit of text at the end of the quotation. It {\bf seems fine}. And let's call a {\bf footnote}\footnote{\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel}. Unfortunately {\bf no quote repetition symbol will appear in it}. \stoptext ================= If needed, here is the Context I use : ================= stephane@cuisine ~/test/ctx/quote_block $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2014.03.27 20:04 ================= Faithfully yours, Stéphane.

dx=1cm with imposition: how to disable "right" most dx?
by Xan 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi, I have this code: \definepapersize[carnet][width=8.50cm,height=5.40cm] \setuppapersize [carnet][A4] \setuppaper [] \setuplayout [page] [topspace=0.02cm, backspace=0.02cm, header=0.02cm,margin=0.02cm,width=middle,footer=0.02cm,height=fit] \setuplayout [page] \setuplayout [location=middle,marking=on,nx=2,ny=4,dy=1cm,dx=1cm] When I run context, the "dx" distance is added to the right of the "rightest" page of type "carnet". So I have an extra right dx distance that it annyoes me becase in double printing pages, the side above and the side below don't match. How can I prevent that? Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: Please CCme.

bugs in page break (relevant for TeX Live 2014)
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Dear Hans, there is a wrong page break introduced in the stable version intended for TeX Live 2014. Here you have the sample that shows the issue: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{140}{Sentence. } \subsection{Subsection title} This is another line. \stoptext Page break is wrong when \subsection is active or replaced with \subsubsection. Page break is right when \subsection is disabled or replaced with \section. By the way, I experience another page break with lists (I guess it was introduced with the same beta as above, but I’m not sure). Here is the sample: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{140}{Sentence. } \startitemize \dorecurse{4}{\item This is an item.\par} \stopitemize \stoptext Page break above is wrong when recursion is over 2. Could you fix these wrong page breaks? I think both fixes should be included in TeX Live 2014. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

“Case-insensitive” sorting for \placelistofsynonyms?
by Benjamin Buchmuller 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi list, according to case-insensitive sorting for \placeregister[…][…, method=…], I tried to figure out how to achieve similar results for \placelistofsynonyms (has method-key too). I tried this modified minimal example (that originally was proposed by Hans here: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052950.html) but failed: \setuplayout[topspace=1cm,height=middle] \setupbodyfont[11pt] \starttext \definesynonyms[abbr][abbrs][\unabbr] \def\Test#1{\vbox{{\bf#1}\blank\placelistofabbrs[criterium=all,language=cz,method={#1}]}\blank} wanted result: oá öb Oč Öď Oo Öo oo öo Öq öř Oš oů \blank \startcolumns[n=2] \Test{before} \Test{first} \Test{default}\Test{after}\Test{last} \stopcolumns \page wanted result: oá öb Oč Öď Oo Öo oo öo Öq öř Oš oů \blank \startcolumns[n=3] \Test{mc,mm,uc} \Test{mc,zm,uc} \Test{mc,pm,uc} \Test{zc,mm,uc} \Test{zc,zm,uc} \Test{zc,pm,uc} \Test{pc,mm,uc} \Test{pc,zm,uc} \Test{pc,pm,uc} \stopcolumns \page wanted result: oá öb Oč Öď Oo Öo oo öo Öq öř Oš oů \blank \startcolumns[n=3] \Test{mm,mc,uc} \Test{zm,mc,uc} \Test{pm,mc,uc} \Test{mm,zc,uc} \Test{zm,zc,uc} \Test{pm,zc,uc} \Test{mm,pc,uc} \Test{zm,pc,uc} \Test{pm,pc,uc} \stopcolumns \page \dorecurse {2} { \page \recurselevel: \abbr{oá}{oáz} \abbr{öb}{öbz} \abbr{Oč}{Očz} \abbr{Öď}{Öďz} \abbr{oo}{ooz} \abbr{öo}{öoz} \abbr{Oo}{Ooz} \abbr{Öo}{Öoz} \abbr{Öq}{Öqz} \abbr{öř}{öřz} \abbr{Oš}{Ošz} \abbr{oů}{oůz} done } \stoptext Is there yet another way to modify sorting behaviour? Many thanks for your help!
