Maybe my question was not clear enough but in any case your remedy does not help me. I have adapted your MWE containing the remedy a bit to make the problem a bit more obvious: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setinjector[register][3][\column] \setinjector[list] [][{\blank[3*big]}] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text] \blank[3*big] \startchapter[title={Introduction}] \startsection[title=Alpha] \index{first} \stopsection \startsection[title=Beta] second \index{second} \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={History}] \startsection[title=Gamma] third \index{third} \stopsection \startsection[title=Delta] fourth \index{fourth} \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Index}] \placeregister[index][criterium=text] \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% What I would need is a forced page break in the ToC, in this example before Chapter 2. A few months ago this could still be accomplished by inserting into the preamble "\definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page]", and "\placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.2=page}]" in the text. But now, with the same version of mkiv, nothing happens. Has this method of forcing a page-break in the ToC mysteriuosly diswppeared or do I use the worng command? Best regards, Robert Blackstone

insert pagebreak in toc (MkIV)
by Robert Blackstone 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Dear all (but maybe in particular Dear Hans), I need a pagebreak in the ToC to avoid a widow. So far I used the method given in sept 2010 in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052739.html, and still on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break, but it does not seem to work anymore. MWE (from the first-mentioned site): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.1=page}] \chapter{x1} \section{xx1} \section{xx2} \chapter{y2} \section{yy1} \section{yy2} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Compiled with a recent mkiv, from between sept 2015 till july 2016, the result shows no page break in the ToC. What can be done about this? Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Wrong bookmark for TOC
by Henri Menke 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Dear list, when I specify that titles should be added to the bookmarks, the text of the bookmark is somewhat wrong. The heading of the table of contents is »Contents«, so I expect this to appear as bookmark. Unfortunately, the bookmark read »content« (all lowercase and singular). MWE is below. How do I fix this? Cheers, Henri --- \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,title][force=yes] \starttext \completecontent \stoptext

Opentype feature and "aligncharacter=yes"
by Jose Luis Arellano 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Hello list. I want to report a very annoying issue when one use oldstyle numbers by default. You can check the result in the following MWE: %\definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes] \definefontfeature[lnum][tnum=yes,lnum=yes] \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[alignmentcharacter={text->.},aligncharacter=yes,align=middle,style={\feature[+][lnum]}] \bTR \bTD 1.23456789 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 12.3456789 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 123.456789 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext As you can see, when you uncomment the line above, "aligncharacter" has no effect. Thanks guys.

Creating cloze texts
by Florian Leupold 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Dear list, I would like to create cloze texts for my students with ConTeXt. Ideally, I would have a command \cloze[<width>]{<solution>} with the following functionality: 1) \cloze{<solution>} would insert an underlined gap in the text with a width of (say) 1.3 times the width of solution and puts the solution on top of it with centered alignment. I will then color the text read if the mode is ‘teacher’ and in white if not. 2) \cloze[<width>]{<solution>} would do the same, but with a fixed width of the underline. The solution should then be flush left, maybe with a horizontal space of \quad. 3) The underline should allow for line breaks and hyphenation, but not such that only empty space is broken into the next line of left in the previous (see MNWE). In this way, the student’s and teacher’s versions of the script will look exactly the same, except for the visible solution in the teacher’s version. The macro \underbar does a good job in terms of line breaks and hyphenation. But it is "too smart" in the sense that it does not underline horizontal spaces. The MNWE below showcases problems with my naive attempts to achieve underlining: - CLOZE 1 does not have any extra space. - CLOZE 2 does not underline the horizontal spaces. - CLOZE 3 does not show the underline, supposedly because the first text elements in it are white. - CLOZE 4 shows that introducing fake characters is not a good idea anyways because the cloze is broken without any “real” solution in the first line. - CLOZE 5 shows the same for trailing space. MNWE: \starttext \input ward \underbar{\color[red]{CLOZE 1}} \input ward \underbar{\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 2}\quad} \input ward \underbar{\color[white]{x}\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 3}\quad\color[white]{x}} \input ward \underbar{\color[green]{x}\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 4}\quad\color[white]{x}} \input ward space \underbar{\color[red]{CLOZE 5}\qquad\color[white]{x}} space \input ward \stoptext I would greatly appreciate help with this problem. Thanks so much in advance! Florian

[NTG-Context] Problem with \usemodule[graph] and El Capitan (mac OS)
by Louis-solal Giboin 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Dear all, I have updated my OS to El Capitan, and all my scripts including MPgraph functions such as gdata do not work anymore (script without such functions are working without any trouble). Would someone know how to get rid of this issue? I thank you very much. a short code sample: x:=u*1cm; a1:=6; a2:=5; hauteury:=a1*y; echelleMEP:=1/10*hauteury/a2; gdata("explexpl.d",s, y1:= scantokens(s1); y2:= scantokens(s2); draw (7.5*x, y1*echelleMEP)--(8.5*x, y2*echelleMEP) withcolor 0.6 white; ); Cheers!
