Structure : problem with an environment

Hi, In my project, there is an env-03.tex file that contains this : """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" \startenvironment env-03 \defineenumeration [def] [text={Définition}, headstyle={\bf\feature[+][f:smallcaps]}, width=fit, alternative=left, stopper={.}] \stopenvironment """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" If I compile, I get this : open source > 4 > 119 > env-03.tex tex error > tex error on line 10 in file env-03.tex: !

Numbered page template
by Fabrice Couvreur 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

In this manual, I like the numbered pages indicating each chapter. I suppose they are made with Metafun. Is it possible to have an explanation ? Thank You, Fabrice http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/cont-enp.pdf

Bleeding pictures as floats?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Hi, I hope BachoTeX was a success! Is it possible to use the float placing mechanisms for pictures that go beyond the type area or even beyond the page? In the book I’m typesetting, most pictures need to fill the whole width of the page (i.e. plus 3mm bleed), but not all cover a full page. I don’t know how to tell \externalfigure or \placefloat a negative offset. Or can I use layers with floats? Of course the text should flow around the pictures. BTW, what does the „object“ key of \setupexternalfigures do? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Printing bibliographic entries without the full publication list
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Dear Hans & Alan, I would like to manually print the selected list of publications, like this: \usebtxdataset[items.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \starttext \startitemize \item \cite[entry][bib1] \item some random text \item \cite[entry][bib5] \stopitemize \stoptext The problem is that this doesn't print anything unless I add \placelistofpublications somewhere. While I do understand (to some extent at least) the rationale for not printing the number of bib item when \placelistofpublications is missing, I don't see any reason why I should be unable to print the complete publication that doesn't even require printing out any number. Any hints about how to do a workaround? I could do \nocite[bib1] \nocite[bib5] \placelistofpublications but then I'm unable to do manual tweaking of the list and adding free text. Thank you very much, Mojca

links for notes
by Pablo Rodriguez 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hans, many thanks for having fixed the issues with bookmarks in latest beta from 2015.07.28 15:15. I have a pending issue with interactive documents. We discussed here some months ago (). The issue is that notes (footnotes and linenotes) have the same kind of interactive links as the rest of the links in the PDF document. Here is the minial sample: \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{10}{\chapter{Chapter 1} a\footnote{b}} \stoptext Could this be implemented? Otherwise, interactive notes will be problematic for the rest of us. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi Mojca, Despite being neither Hans nor Alan I could perhaps offer you the possibility of a simple workaround, I think you could do what you need in the same way as when you put bibliographic references in a footnote. So in your case it would be: \startitemize \item \dcite{citekey1} item some random text \item \dcite{citekey2} \stopitemize In any case this works for me but my bibliographic setup may be different from yours. I hope it helps, Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Input order of modular environment files
by juh 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi all, inspired by [1] I want to setup modular environment files and include them on demand with the option --environment. I think that I will have separate files for general settings, for fonts and for different papersizes, so that I can typeset with different settings on-the-fly. Is there an order in which definitions must be made, for eg. fonts first, pagelayouts second etc...? Do you have any recommendations how I should structure the environments? I am going to compile XML files, so I will also have an environment file which defines the XML-TeX mapping.

Section heading colors lost with \startbodymatter
by Rik Kabel 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

This worked (the numbers were darkgray and there was a red dot separator) until the last beta or two. With the new betas, those colors disappear in the bodymatter mode and in appendices mode % When start/stop bodymatter is enabled, the number color and % separator colors are lost. When they are disabled, all is % as expected % \defineseparatorset[reddot][][{\color[red]{·}}] \setuphead[chapter][sectionseparatorset=reddot,numbercolor=darkgray] \setuphead[section][sectionseparatorset=reddot,numbercolor=darkgray] \starttext % \startbodymatter % enable and lose colors \startchapter[title={Chapter}] \startsection[title={Section}] \stopsection \stopchapter % \stopbodymatter % enable and lose colors \stoptext -- Rik
