preventing hyphenation in headings
by Csikos Bela 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hello list members: I would like to disable hyphenation in headings (chapter, section, etc. titles) while allow it in body text. Is there a setting for this? Or do I have to adjust all the headings manually by inserting line breaks? Thanks, bcsikos

Help with \numexpr
by Keith McKay 04 May '15

04 May '15

Colleagues I've written some code which should extract photos from a directory and a add couple of lines of description to each photo. I'm using a variable (\numberText) as a counter which I was hoping to use with \getfromcommalist[string1, string2,...][\numberText] to add one line of text. However when I try to increment the variable using \numexpr (\numberText=\numberText+1) \relax I get the error "You can't use `\numexpr' in vertical mode". I'm not familiar with \numexpr and there does not seem to be much on the wiki on how to use it. Any suggestions would be helpfull. Here is the code \setupexternalfigures [directory={/Path/to/the/Photos}] \defineexternalfigure[photo][maxheight=0.4\textheight] \define \numberText{1} \starttext \dostepwiserecurse{141}{146}{1}/% //\recurselevel is part of photo filename. See below./ { \externalfigure[sam_0\recurselevel.jpg][photo] \par /% //\recurselevel is part of photo filename/ File Name /Path/to/the/Photos/sam_0\recurselevel.jpg\par \getfromcommalist[some text,another text,even more text,much better text,even better text,the ultimate text][\numberText] \commalistelement\par \numexpr (\numberText=\numberText+1) \relax \par \numberText \par } \stoptext Thanks Keith

Re: [NTG-context] alternative numerical \cite command
by Otared Kavian 04 May '15

04 May '15

Thanks to remarks by Mojca and Alan, I did some testing with mkiv and my old setups for bibliography under mkii, and magically it works also with the new bibliography features of mkiv, that is without saying \usemodule[bib]. However somehow I couldn’t find an equivalent for the command \placepublications[criterirum=all] when one needs to give another title to the section containing the bibliography (as in the attached file). As I understand from Alan’s and Thomas Schmitz’ answers, the new bibliography features are not yet completely « production ready » for those people who need complex requirements (this is not my case…). However it would be nice if the new commands were made known somewhere, even without having a detailed manual (some people use quite elementary features and probably those may be obtained in less than ten commands…). Best regards: OK

Any help? \usemodule [simplefonts] [size=11pt] \setmainfont [Minion Pro] [expansion=quality, protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hz,hanging] Thanks!

bug with \writebetweenlist and bookmarks?
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 May '15

04 May '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \writebetweenlist[chapter]{{\blank[3*halfline]}} \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \writebetweenlist[chapter]{{\blank[3*halfline]}} \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \chapter{Introduction} \startbodymatter \chapter{First Chapter} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \chapter{Conclusions} \stopbackmatter \stoptext For some strange reason, the \writebetweenlist commands also add bookmarks with a question mark to the PDF bookmarks in the PDF file. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

simplefonts vs typescripts
by david.boerschlein＠juno.com 04 May '15

04 May '15

I have been trying for weeks to set up the Google Noto fonts for ConTeXt. I have tried (but do not understand all the syntax and parameters of) typescripts and simplefonts. It seems that I probably should gravitate towards typescripts because the typescripts seem to be what comes with the distribution of other fonts. Is there detailed documentation describing all the parameters in detail and giving examples? All I found is some vague examples without any explanations in the contextgarden.net wiki. Is there a tool that I can use to look at the .ttf or .otf file and discern the values I need to put into the typescripts? Is there a tool to generate typescripts from the .ttf and/or .otf files or would one be easy for me to write in say Korn, Perl, or Python? Please advise! Thanks.

updating ConTeXt minimals to latest version
by Alan Bowen 04 May '15

04 May '15

Though version 2015-05-01 is now available, running first-setup.sh retrieves only version 2015-04-18. Are we waiting for the latest minimal files to migrate or is the problem at my end? Alan
