setup for paragraph styles
by mf 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hello, I'd like to kwnow the commands I should use in ConTeXt to define styles for paragraphs of text that are not headers/titles nor normal text. With titles I know I must use: \definehead[MyTitle][title] \setuphead[MyTitle][...] What should I use for texts like subtitles, dates of letters, signatures? They are "paragraphs" often made by a few words, with a different alignment, margins, style and vertical space above and below. For a long quote I've seen that I can use: \definedelimitedtext[MySpecialText] \setupdelimitedtext[MySpecialText] Are those the right commands for my purpose in ConTeXt? In particular, I'm typesetting XHTML, where all those elements are <p class="subtitle">, <p class="letter-date">, <p class="signature"> and so on. An example taken from my xml environment: ... \startxmlsetups xml:myenv \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body|h3|p|i}{xml:*} ... \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{p[@class='letter-date']}{xml:p:letter-date} ... \stopxmlsetups ... \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \page[no]\rightaligned{\noindent\xmlflush{#1}}\par\page[no] \stopxmlsetups ... Is that the right way or is it better to define and setup a style like this? \define_???_[LetterDate] \setup_???_[LetterDate][ before=..., after=..., ..., ] and use it like this: \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \startLetterDate \xmlflush{#1} \stopLetterDate \stopxmlsetups And if it's better like that, what should I write instead of _???_ ? Thanks, Massi

bug in paragraph footnotes?
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Dear list, I’m afraid that the following sample shows a bug in interline space for footnotes: \startsetups[setups:footnote] \setupinterlinespace[line=6ex] \stopsetups \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=serried] \setupnote[footnote][paragraph=yes, setups=setups:footnote] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{These are footnotes\footnote{\input knuth}. } \stoptext Could anyone confirm it or explain me what I’m missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Unicode question
by Manfred Lotz 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi all, If I run this minimal example \starttext � \stopluacode \stoptext I get tex error > error on line 3 in file /data/tmp/u1.tex: ! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence and some more lines. The character above is: Character: � Character name: REPLACEMENT CHARACTER Charblock: Specials Category: Other symbol Unicode: U+fffd UTF8: 0xefbfbd which is a valid utf8 character. Questions: 1. Why is it considered to be invalid? 2. Are there other valid utf8 characters which are considered invalid? Just wanting to understand. -- Manfred

Hanging indent
by Willi Egger 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hello everybody, Currently I am typesetting a small dictionary. I want to have hanging indents if the text joined to the expression is longer than one line. In the past I had this definitions: \defineblank[Afterhangingparagraph][1pc] \starttext \def\Hangindent{\hangafter=1\hangindent=1em} \definestartstop[HangPar] [before={\bgroup\appendtoks\Hangindent\to\everypar}, after={\egroup\blank[Afterhangingparagraph]}] \starttext \startHangPar \input knuth \stopHangPar \startHangPar {\bf Aanslaan,} aanspreken. Een poging in 't werk stellen. Ik zal dat heertje reis aanslaan. Sla dien broger (man) aan, misschien heeft hij poen (geld). Jongens, er moet aangeslagen worden, daar loopt mooi gajes (menschen daar wat van te halen is). \stopHangPar \stoptext The strange thing is, that the first two paragraphs of the Knuth-text is showing a hanging indent, however the last paragraph does not which is unexpected. In the example from the dictionary no hanging indentation is shown. What do I mis here? Kind regards Willi

Itemization

Dear friends. I have one basic question, but I'm not very skilled in ConTeXt: How I can do that in a list, display each of the items with a lowercase Greek letter followed by a parenthesis? That is: alpha) beta) etc. Thanks very much.

Link to mentions in listof<synonyms> and to listof<synomyn> in mentions?
by Norbert Melzer 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi! Given the following ME, is there a way, that the use of `\AI` links to the corresponding entry in the `\listofabbrevs` and also that there is a comma separated list of pages which mention `\AI`, just as the acronym portion of LaTeXs glossaries does? ```tex \setupinteraction[state=start] \definesynonyms[abbrev][abbrevs][\longform] \abbrev{AI}{Artificial Intelligence} \starttext \AI \completelistofabbrevs \stoptext ``` TIA Norbert

How to properly put information into contextwiki
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hello list. I tried in vain to find some information on how to properly load some things into http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ I tried to insert there thing I have not found there (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/defineformula) but I could not find how to classify this page to a hierarchy (in this case into the section commands). They are somewhere about some information? Or has the final classification in charge of an administrator, etc? Thanks for the link to some information. I would like to wiki occasionally contributed something, but I've somehow fundamentally not orienting. Thanks Jaroslav Hajtmar

setupformulas options (or defineformula) and effort to reduce the font in math formulas
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 12 Mar '15

Hello List. I would like some elegant way to diminished font in math formulas... Is there possibility anything as \setupformulas[before={\switchtobodyfont[small]} ]? I need to align formulas, so are not enough to \mathematics {xxxx} Below is my fallback. You can do something smarter? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar \defineformula[small][ align=right, strut=yes, spacebefore=, spaceafter=, % before={\switchtobodyfont[small]} ] % Here is my fallback solution: \def\Startsmallformula{\startsmallformula\switchtobodyfont[small] } \starttext \startformula \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow-2^{\mp}}{\arctan\frac{x}{2+x}}=\pm\frac{\pi}{2} \stopformula \startformula f':\; y' = \frac{\sqrt{3}(1+x^2)}{(1-x^2)^2+3x^2} \stopformula \startformula \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow 1^{\mp}}{\frac{x^2+1}{x-1}}=\mp\infty \stopformula \Startsmallformula \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow-2^{\mp}}{\arctan\frac{x}{2+x}}=\pm\frac{\pi}{2} \stopsmallformula \Startsmallformula f':\; y' = \frac{\sqrt{3}(1+x^2)}{(1-x^2)^2+3x^2} \stopsmallformula \Startsmallformula \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow 1^{\mp}}{\frac{x^2+1}{x-1}}=\mp\infty \stopsmallformula \blank[big] \startsmallformula \startalign \NC f(x)\NC = \ln (x^2+2x+2)\NR \NC f(-x)\NC = \ln ((–x)^2 - 2x + 2)\NR \NC -f(x)\NC = -\ln (x^2+2x+2)\NR \stopalign \stopsmallformula \blank[big] \Startsmallformula \startalign \NC f(x)\NC = \ln (x^2+2x+2)\NR \NC f(-x)\NC = \ln ((–x)^2 - 2x + 2)\NR \NC -f(x)\NC = -\ln (x^2+2x+2)\NR \stopalign \stopsmallformula \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliographies in mkiv - announcement and WARNING!

On 9 Mar 2015, at 21:28 , Alan BRASLAU <alan.braslau(a)cea.fr> > ANNOUNCEMENT > We introduced into the core of MKIV a dataset subsystem, not > necessarily limited to the generation of bibliographic lists.

But it really interests me and I do need it. First of all, I compiled the ME and added a number of my own .bib entries and they all came out well. It looks as if I can just continue use my existing BibTex database in the new system and continue using BibDesk for new items, which is a very good thing. No need to generate .bbl’s separately. (Though I hope that ConTeXt will keep the possibility to process .bbl’s as before.) My questions are: 1 The ME contains no setup, no indication of a particular Bibliography style. What comes out in the ME looks like apa. Are there style files connected with this system? If so are they accessible for tweaking (I need some rather uncommon Bibliography style, sort of apa-like but different in many details)? 2 The \cite-command turns out just some number in square brackets, no info on what is cited. Is that a bug? 3 In the old system I used \dcite[key] for footnotes but \dcite is not recognized now. Is there another way? Best regards, Robert Blackstone
