Overlong chapter titles in headings
by Mari Voipio 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hello all! I have a document where chapter heading is also printed in the header. Usually this works very nicely, but now I have a document with really long chapter headings (not my choice...) that don't fit in the space available in the header area. Is there a way of printing the whole text in the chapter heading, but a shorter version in the header area? Mari

flushing the last hbox of a paragraph to the right
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hello list, I'm typesetting end notes with the pages where they get called (don't think about \endnote since I'm not using it; they are simple \item paragraphs). Here's an example: 4 Text of the end note blah blah blah blah blah, end of para. p. 3, 45, 96 which means that the end note 4 occurs in pages 3, 45, 96. The pages are flushed to the right using \hfill. This works as long as there's enough room for the pages' numbers. In case like this: 5 Text of the fifth endnote blah blah blah a little longer to fill the text width. p. 4, 12 the pages are note flushed right because the \hfill expires at the end of the second line. What I'd like is this: 5 Text of the fifth endnote blah blah blah a little longer to fill the text width. p. 4, 12 Since I'm typesetting XML, is there an automatic way to achieve that right alignment in both cases? Thanks, Massi

Re: [NTG-context] % !TeX root problem
by Jeong Dal 16 Nov '15

Dear Hans and Otared, Thank you for the reply. I tried "%!TEX root =“ with no space before but it does’t work. I think that ConTeXt doesn’t do anything as you said. The strange thing is that it worked in ConTeXt file sometime ago. I don’t remember from when it didn’t work. Anyway it is not a big problem, though. Best regards, Dalyoung

% !TeX root problem
by Jeong Dal 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Dear all, I use product file: FM_main.tex which contains component files like FM_1.tex, FM_2.tex, etc. They are all in the same folder. In each component file, I put “% !TEX root=FM_main.tex” at the first line. It worked fine but some time after it won’t work. I know that it is a matter of TeXShop, but I just wonder why it doesn’t work now. Is there any clue for this? I am using TeXShop in the latest Mac OS X. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Dalyoung

anchor points for \inmargin
by DesdeChaves 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

Dear Sirs, I'm trying to make a exam for my students. After the question I should provide a blank space for the answer. In the margin I want write the partial scores for the answer. The problem occurs when I force a new page. In this case the text in the margin is flushed to the next page. I don't want this behavior. How can I can this? Another question: How can I anchor the scores in the middle of the vertical blank space? This \vskip4cm\Info{scores}\vskip4cm don't make the job. Thanks in advance. Jorge Code: \setupmargindata[inmargin][style={\ss\tfx},location=outer,align=middle] \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=middle,location=outer] \def\Info#1{\margindata[inmargin]{\rotate{#1}\ignorespaces}} \starttext \startitemize[n] \item Question 1 \vskip8cm \Info{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10} \vskip1cm \item Question 2 \vskip8cm \Info{20 \periods[3] 15 \periods[3] 10} \page %%% --> problematic \item Question 3 \stoptext

location of old ConTeXt versions?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Dear ConTeXters, In order to correct an embarrassing thinko (wrong units of acceleration!) in my book for its next printing, I need to regenerate the PDF changing only that one spot. Thus, I am looking for an old ConTeXt version, 2014.05.17. The latest versions find different page and line breaks. I haven't been able to convince them to rediscover the old breaks (which were carefully optimized over a few miserable weeks back in 2014). I have the 2014.05.17 minimal on my old laptop, a i386 32-bit Linux laptop (2006 vintage). I joined the 2010 decade recently and now use 64-bit laptop; the 32-bit minimals don't work on it. The wiki, at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Reverting_to_an_older_inst…>, says that the old versions are available at <http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/>, where I found only the latest versions. Could you point me to a linux/64-bit minimal for 2014.05.17? I'll update the wiki accordingly. (If the old versions are gone, I'll dig out my old laptop and regenerate it that way, or try convincing the laptop to use 32-bit executables as well.)

only page number in the header of the chapter title page
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Hello list, how can I keep the page number but not the header text in the page of a chapter title? \setuphead[chapter][header=empty] makes all the header disappear. Is there an option to keep the page number? Thanks, Massi
