Interactive table of content -- jumps always 1 page too far
by Rob Heusdens 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hello list, Having the problem that if I jump to a chapter or section by clicking on the interactive table of content (while the page numbers presented do match the actual page number where the chapter or section begins) always leads me to jumping one page too far. I've tried to produce a MWE, but failed so far, even if I add all the commands and setups which could affect page numbering, it doesn't reproduce the error. I didn't do setting the userpage number by hand. In fact the page number is off by 2 from the real page number, caused by a makeup title page, which does not do page counting (btw. is there a way to force a custom title page makeup to DO count the page number?) and an extra page coming right after it before the table of contents. Setting the right page number on the table of contents page solves that, but clicking an entry in the table of contents still sends me one page too far. Can anyone guid me on where to look or what to try to solve this nasty problem? Thanks. Greetings, Rob

interactive footnote links
by Pablo Rodriguez 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hans, I have a proposal for interactive footnote links. First, the sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext a\footnote{b} \stoptext In the PDF file, the two links are defined: << /Subtype /Link /Dest [13 0 R /Fit] /F 4 /Rect [76.725 698.345 80.957 712.772] /Border [0 0 0]>> << /Subtype /Link /Dest [13 0 R /Fit] /F 4 /Rect [61.654 115.692 65.886 127.715] /Border [0 0 0]>> How about changing destination in both links for the following? /Dest [13 0 R /XYZ left top null] BTW, there seems that /Rect dimensions are [left bottom right top]. This would make: << /Subtype /Link /Dest [13 0 R /XYZ 61.654 127.715 null] /F 4 /Rect [76.725 698.345 80.957 712.772] /Border [0 0 0]>> << /Subtype /Link /Dest [13 0 R /XYZ 76.725 712.772 null] /F 4 /Rect [61.654 115.692 65.886 127.715] /Border [0 0 0]>> If this feature were implemented, there would be no change in display after clicking in a footnote link (or clicking back). And that would make ConTeXt even more awesome than it is now :-). Many thanks for your help and for your extraordinary work developing ConTeXt, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Reduce the width of the backspace > > \setuplayout[backspace=10mm] Thank you Wolfgang. Follow-up question: how to have a right margin appear on the right side of every booklet page? The layouts I have tried with the following mwe put the right margin on the cut side of the paper, but that “reverses” the margin side from the reader’s view when printed and folded. \definepapersize[booklet][width=140mm,height=216mm] \setuppapersize[booklet][letter,landscape] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuparranging[2UP,doublesided] \setuplayout[ width=90mm, leftedge=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, backspace=15mm, rightmargindistaince=3mm, rightmargin=25mm, ] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\input ward \page} \stoptext

publications in footnotes (new bibliography mkiv)
by Jörg Weger 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

I have to prepare a paper in literary science. I need to be able to quote a reference in a footnote instead of a in-text reference. Such a footnote should look the same or similar as the entry in the publications list. I guess that I have to do \setupbtxcitevariant and \definebtxcitevariant but then I am stuck. It would be great if one could put a separate page number/range for every footnote. Is there maybe already a mechanism for that? Greetings Jörg

bibliography again: “von” and “van”
by Jörg Weger 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

The default way to diplay (inverted) names with “von” and “van” is “von Goethe” and “van Halen” in in-text references and “von Goethe, Johann Wolfgang” and “van Halen, Edward”. The problem with this is that while AFAIK the Dutch “van Halen” means that one of his ancestors came ”from” a place/city called “Halen” in German names the “von” is always a sign of nobility. Even long before monarchy and nobility was abolished in Germany by the revolution of 1919 you would not have talked about “von Goethe” but simply “Goethe”–so in a reference it would be “(Goethe 1774)” and “Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von” in the publications list, but still “(van Halen 1984)” and “van Halen, Edward”. It would be nice if you could switch between two modes while invoking the citation. I have not yet discovered where this order is defined. Greetings Jörg

Strange bug in interactive table of content...
by Rob Heusdens 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

A right parenthesis ')' shows up as black in the interactive table of contents (which otherwise displays as green). Here is a MWE: \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \definecombinedlist[content][chapter] \setupcombinedlist[content][level=4, alternative=c] \setbreakpoints[compound] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Noten bij de digitale (her)uitgave} \chapter{Noten bij de digitale (her)\-uitgave} \chapter{Tries: her)uit} \chapter{Tries: her)ui} \chapter{Tries: er)uit} \stoptext If I comment \setbreakpoint[compound] the bug does not show. It seems to matter what characters come before and after the right parenthesis for this bug to show up. To bypass the problem, one can use \- after the rparen, and then the bug does not show up, but I don't think anyone encountered this small and particular bug... Greetings, Rob Output in attachement.

Re: [NTG-context] inline footnotes

> Hi Massi, > > Could you possibly provide a small pdf sample that illustrates exactly > what you are looking for? Thanks and > > Best wishes > Idris Thanks for your reply, Idris. Here's an example: *** traditional (stacked) footnotes *** *************************************** 1. This is the text of the first footnote 2. This is the text of the second footnote *** inline footnotes (one paragraph for all the footnotes) *** ************************************************************** 1. first footnote --- 2. second footnote --- 3. the third footnote, extending to the next line --- 4. fourth one *** footnotes in columns in ConTeXt (\setupfootnotes[n=3]) *** ************************************************************** 1. first footnote 2. second one 3. third one 4. fourth one, hy- phenated "Inline footnotes" are good when you have a lot of short notes, that would eat a lot of vertical space, and sometimes other longer footnotes. I've put an m-dash as a separator, but you could use a wide space or another separator. Footnotes in columns are good if they are ALL shorter than the column width. The LaTeX package "footmisc" provides the "inline footnotes" by the option "para". But, if I understand right, LaTeX packages are not compatible with ConTeXt.

inline footnotes
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hello, I'd like to know how to get "inline footnotes" with ConTeXt. There are some packages in LaTeX (option "para" in footmisc, manyfoot, bigfoot) providing that feature. How can I do that in ConTeXt? Thanks, Massi
