Module for Markdown: any volunteer to make a ConTeXt interface?
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hi, There's a really nice module for processing markdown: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown that has been presented during the TUG meeting and is included in TeX Live. It theoretically works for ConTeXt (the output is perfectly usable), but it needs a cleanup of the user interface to turn the options on and off. For example, it would be nice to use something like \setupmarkdown [fencedCode=true] rather than \def\markdownOptionFencedCode{true} Is anyone willing to look into the code and help the author fix the interface? (I can add it to our distribution if needed.) Mojca

Hello everyone, As suggested by Wolfgang Schuster here : https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/087113.html , I have added on the wiki an example of a cover letter that has a similar style to Modern CV.

I see that the captions "TABLE" and "FLOAT" are placed on top while the captions "Two" and "Two" are placed on the bottom. Is there a way to setup the locations of the captions of floats within a floatcombination? In this particular example, the goal is, that the captions "Two" and "Two" are placed on top of the respective tables. Cheers, Christoph

Missing Chapter Numbers
by Thangalin 22 Oct '17

22 Oct '17

\setuphead[chapter][number=yes,] \setuphead[section][number=no,] \setuphead[subsection][placehead=hidden,] \definehead[scenesubsection][subsection] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \chapter{Chapter Name} \section{Section Name} \startscenesubsection \input tufte \stopscenesubsection } \stoptext The chapter headings should be enumerated 1 through 5, but some chapter numbers are either hidden or enumerated incorrectly. Using "placehead=no" causes the spacing to change when framing an entire section. Related: https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror/blob/b14f992ef5f4e868c9959b… Any ideas on how to work around this issue? Thank you!

abbreviations: \infull always in small caps
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Ahoi, I’m trying to employ the synonyms mechanism for abbreviations, as documented: \setupsynonyms [style=italic, headstyle=bold, titlestyle=normal, synonymstyle=normal] \abbreviation{Abt.}{Abteilung} \abbreviation{ADN}{Allgemeiner Deutscher Nachrichtendienst} \abbreviation{AFL}{American Federation of Labor} \abbreviation{ANC}{African National Congress} \abbreviation{AV}{Auslandsvertretung} \abbreviation{BArch}{Bundesarchiv} \starttext \placelistofabbreviations[criterium=all] \infull{AV} \infull{AFL} \stoptext The result of \infull is always in small caps, and I don’t like that. I couldn’t find its definition in the source* nor a setup command. * http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-syn.mkiv?search=… Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Troubleshooting pdf bookmarks
by Mari Voipio 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hello all, I've got a problem with pdf bookmarks and I don't know how to troubleshoot it. I first made a test file in a test folder with all the correct components and it ("bookmark_test") works perfectly with all the enviroment files and component files. However, when I copied the working product file to the product folder ("prd-serv"), fixed the links and ran ConTeXt, I didn't get bookmarks. Reference links show up in TOC and text, so there's some kind of interactivity, but no bookmarks. I've tried to figure out from logs (attached) what eats my bookmarks in the product folder, but without much success. I've also tried excluding components and environment files in different combinations, but that doesn't seem to help, so I haven't been able to isolate the cause of the problem. Are there some commands that can be used to troubleshoot interactivity/pdf bookmarks? \tracesomething, maybe? Best Regards, Mari

A decade or so ago I read about a program callable from within Context that would create flowcharts etc. Was this Metapost? Or was it a different program? John Culleton

size of footnote numbers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Sep '17

30 Sep '17

Ahoi, in my current book there are some quotations typeset in a smaller type (via \switchtobodyfont in a defined startstop). Now the author insists that their footnote numbers should have the same size as in the body text. Since the footnotes are mostly source annotations at the end, it makes some sense. What would be the best way to achieve this? Here’s my setup: \setupbodyfont [alegreya,rm,11pt] % usual font size \startsetups[myQuotation] \setupwhitespace[none] \setupnarrower[left=2em,right=2em] \switchtobodyfont[rm,10pt] % I guess I should change the footnote number font size here? \stopsetups \definestartstop[myQuotation][ setups=myQuotation, before={ \testpage[2] \startnarrower[left,right] \noindent}, after={\stopnarrower \indenting[next]}] Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

line correction
by MF 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

Hello list, I would like ConTeXt to snap normal text to grid after a quotation. This example does not work: -------------- \setupquotation[before={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}] \starttext \showgrid \input knuth \startlinecorrection[halfline] \startquotation \input sapolsky \stopquotation \stoplinecorrection \input knuth \stoptext -------------- If I prepend a \setuplayout[grid=yes], it works, but grid snapping introduces also other side effects I don't want (i.e. tall formulas inside text taking too much vertical space). I would like the halfline spaces before and after the quotation to shrink or stretch a bit to the nearest multiple of the main text line height. Is there an automatic way to get the normal text "return" on the grid after a quotation without turning on a global grid snapping? Thanks, Massi

ligature exceptions
by Henning Hraban Ramm 29 Sep '17

Hi all, I know I can break ligatures with \/, like Auf\/lage, but is there a general dictionary approach, like \hyphenation{} ? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
