Internal clickable links
by Keith McKay 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Colleagues I'm setting up a document which at the end of each chapter will have a Glossary of word definitions. To get to these definitions one would click on the word in the chapter which would take them to the page where the definition of the word is in the Glossary. Once the user has done this, they could then click on the definition to go back to the original word in the chapter. \footnote works after a fashion, however I would like the word to be clickable and the definition not to appear at the bottom of the page. It's not really what I want. Is there another way to get the functionality I'm looking for? Thanks Best Wishes Keith McKay

setups not working
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startsetups[footssetups] \setupinterlinespace[line=5ex] \stopsetups \setupnote[footnote][setups=footsetups] \starttext \footnote{\input zapf}\input knuth \stoptext AFAIK, the footnote should have extra interline space. But I don’t get it. I’m using beta from 2014.08.29 20:57. Am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Framed text and page breaks
by Keith McKay 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Colleagues I've been struggling today with trying to change paragraph width of selected paragraphs within the body text of a novel I'm typesetting. I thought that the way to do this would be by framing the text that I would like to reduce the paragraph width off. However the framed text doesn't seem to honour page breaks and just seems to disappear off the page bottom. Also the framed text starts on a new page which I do not want to happen. Any suggestions on how I may go about solving this problem? Best Wishes Keith McKay Here is an example tex file which shows these effects: \definepapersize[book][width=5.06in,height=7.81in] \setuppapersize [book][] \setuplayout [width=middle,backspace=12.5mm,cutspace=12.5mm,height=middle,topspace=12.7mm,bottomspace=12.7mm] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank} \midaligned \framed[frame=off,width=5cm,align={width,nothyphenated,verytolerant,stretch},before=\blank]{\dorecurse{4}{\input ward \blank}} \dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank} \stoptext

Placement of a figure
by Fabrice Couvreur 02 Sep '14

Hi, In this code, the figure is placed on the base line. How to make the numbering at the top of the figure ? \starttext \startitemize[n][stopper=),style=bf] \item \midaligned{\externalfigure[figure1_reperage.pdf]} \startitemize[a][stopper=),style=bf] \item Donner les coordonnées des points $A$ et $B$ dans le repère $\left(O,\, I,\, J\right)$. \item Compléter les phrases suivantes : les abscisses des points $A$ et $B$ sont $\ldots$ ; les ordonnées des points $A$ et $B$ sont $\dots\;$. \item Placer les points $C$ et $D$ de coordonnées respectives $\left(-2\,;3\right)$ et $\left(4\,;0\right)$. \item Placer le point $E$ de même abscisse que $C$ et d'ordonnée $-1$. \stopitemize \stoptext With LaTeX, I did this : \raisebox{-\height+1em}{\includegraphics{}} thank you

Footnote with midaligned text
by Francisco Gracia 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

As the following example shows, just trying to add a footnote to a midaligned sentence is not that easy: either the footnote index is (dis)placed to the right margin or the footnote body does not show at its proper place (at the end of the page). Is there a way to make both things fit? Regards \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \def\Text{ This is the main text.} \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\Text} \footnote{This is the first main text footnote.} \dorecurse{3}{\Text} \blank[medium] \midaligned{This sentence is midaligned.} \footnote{This is the centered footnote.} \blank[medium] \dorecurse{3}{\Text} \footnote{This is the second main text footnote.} \dorecurse{3}{\Text} \blank[medium] \midaligned{Another midaligned sentence. \footnote{This is the second centered footnote.}} \blank[medium] \dorecurse{3}{\Text} \footnote{This is the third main text footnote.} \dorecurse{3}{\Text} \stoptext
