(again) references to sections in registers
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \chapter{Chapter} \section{Section} \index{one} \subsection{Subsection} \index{two} \placeindex \stoptext How can I do the following? - "one" is referred in the index to 1.1. - "two" is referred in the index to 1.1.1. I mean, how can we get sectioning references instead of page references in registers? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Multiple columns in an itemization group
by jdh 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

#1 Is there any way to instruct ConText, when using "itemize" with multiple columns to specify the number, X columns. In this case I want three #2 Is there any way to turn off a bullet character/symbol? Here is a vacabulary list example?: -------------------------------- \setuppapersize[letter] \starttext \startitemize[columns,joinedup,packed] \item ability \item absorb \item accuse \item act \item active \item actual \item adopt \item advantage \stopitemize \stoptext -------------------------------- Regards

Correct usage of \placebookmarks
by Lars 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

Hello there, I've stumbled upon a behaviour in CTX that I don't fully understand. My goal is to create a multipage document *without* heads (title, chapter, etc) but only text. Yet I would like to create bookmarks. So my MWE looks the following: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \definelist[Marks] \placebookmarks[Marks][Marks][force=yes] \starttext \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark one} \input tufte \page \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark two} \input knuth \stoptext Yet CTX doesn't create bookmarks in that case. I first have to add a blank predefined header like chapter or section anywhere in the text: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \definelist[Marks] \placebookmarks[Marks][Marks][force=yes] \starttext \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark one} \input tufte \page \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark two} \input knuth \startchapter[title={},marking={}] \stopchapter \stoptext Although I haven't added chapter key to \placebookmarks, so that it also doesn't show up in the bookmarks window, only then CTX seems to create bookmarks for the list which I created called Marks. Is there a way to circumvent this? I'd like boomarks only where I place them manually, without using headers. Thanks in advance, Lars.

How to control the placement of a button
by Otared Kavian 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

Hi all, Some years ago Wolfgang Schuster answered a question about interactive buttons placed on a page in order to navigate in a PDF document. Somehow, unfortunately, I did not keep his complete answer, but kept just an example code he sent, which I copy below. So my question is: how can one control the placement of a button created by the commands \startbut[GoToDestination] NameOfTheButton \stopbut For instance if one wishes to put a button on the bottom, or even somewhere on a page? Is it possible to give coordinates, like when one places a layer? In the example below if the layout is modified then the buttons may disappear, since they might be out of the boundaries of the predefined locations of the buttons (which are unknown to me…). Thanks in advance: OK %%% begin button-example.tex \setuppapersize[S6,S6] \setuplayout [width=13cm, rightedge=1.5cm] \setupinteraction [state=start, menu=on] \setupinteractionmenu[right] [state=start, align=middle, background=screen, frame=on, width=broad, style=bold, color=] \startinteractionmenu[right] \startbut[content] $\leftarrow$ \stopbut % this button is too high on the page \vfill \startbut[index] $\rightarrow$ \stopbut % this button should be a little bit lower \stopinteractionmenu \starttext \completecontent \showframe \dorecurse{4} {\chapter{Chapter #1}\index{chapter #1} \input knuth \index{Knuth}\page} \completeindex \stoptext %%% end button-example.tex

chapter setup with subtitle in margin
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

Hi again, I have this nice/complicated chapter setup (see attachments): Chapter title Chapter subtitle can have several lines in margin smaller font Three problems I cannot get rid of: - There’s always an indent in front of the title (red box); it should not. - The subtitle should start on the same line as the main title. - The subtitle should have an appropriate line spacing. Please, I’m running out of time... Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

structureuservariable in ToC
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Now, my second issue with user variables: """ \define[1]\ChapterTocEntry{% \doifnotempty{\structureuservariable{author}}{\structureuservariable{author}\crlf }% #1% \doifnotempty{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}{\crlf\structureuservariable{subtitle}}} \setuplist[chapter][textcommand=\ChapterTocEntry] \starttext \completelist[chapter][criterium=all] \startchapter[ title={The Use of Typefaces}][% author={Hermann Zapf}, subtitle={Ein zapfiges Zitat}] \input zapf \stopchapter \startchapter[ title={Sheep and Goats}][% author={Siegfried Tufte}, subtitle={Tofte Tufte-Zitat}] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext """ I’m trying to get author and subtitle into the ToC (while in the content, subtitle goes to the margin and author to the end of the chapter). But in this example, both are empty (but not empty enough for doifnotempty), while in my actual project I always get author and subtitle from the first chapter. I guess this is an expansion problem?

Error at \stoplines
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Hi, in my current project, every time I use \startlines .. \stoplines (for poems), I run into this error: """ structure > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 5.2 -> Example tex error > tex error on line 27 in file ka34/c_example.tex: !

But if I comment all \start/stoplines (or the components containing them), it runs through. Do you have an idea where I should look?

notes in the margin
by Henning Hraban Ramm 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

While I’m still waiting for answers to my other questions, I got some more: In my layout, left margin width is zero, but \inmargin always uses left margin. I didn’t find a setup to change that – should \setupmargindata[location=right] do the trick? (it doesn’t, also not with left) Further I’d like to place "foot"notes into the margin. It works like this: \setupnote[footnote][location=none] \setupnotation[footnote][ align=flushleft, location=serried, width=broad, ] \setuptexttexts[margin][] [{\framed[% align=right, frame=off, height=\textheight, width=\rightmarginwidth ]{\placenotes[footnote]}}] But I’d like the notes to start in the line of the marker, if there’s space. How can I achieve that? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Registers and getparameters
by Otared Kavian 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi all, I have a list of speakers (and abstracts of their talk) in a rather long document, and the name of each speaker is written to a register named speakers. Then with the command \getparameters[Talk] I get the name of each speaker and try to write it to the register with \speakers{\TalkSpeakerName} Indeed this does not work to obtain the result I am looking for: the sorting is indeed under the letter « t », and most importantly the register gets only the last name in the list instead of getting each speaker name. The following is a (not so minimal…) example. Can anyone help me in this matter? Thanks in advance for your attention and time! Best regards: OK %%% begin register-speaker.tex \defineregister[speakers] \setupregister[speakers] [ style=sansbold, %% headings n=2, %% columns ] \define\MakePageTalk{% \reference[ref:\TalkSpeakerName]{} {\bi Speaker~:\/} \TalkSpeakerName \speakers{\TalkSpeakerName}.\crlf {\bi Title :} \TalkTitle \crlf {\bi Time:} \TalkTime \crlf {\bi Room :} \TalkRoom\crlf \hairline\par} \starttext \getparameters[Talk]% [SpeakerName={Gauss}, Title={Remarks on Number Theory}, Time={10:30}, Room={A}] \MakePageTalk \page \getparameters[Talk]% [SpeakerName={Poincaré}, Title={Remarks on Relativity}, Time={16:30}, Room={B}] \MakePageTalk \page \getparameters[Talk]% [SpeakerName={Dirac}, Title={Quaternions and the wave equation}, Time={15:30}, Room={B}] \MakePageTalk \page \completeregister[speakers] \stoptext %%% end register-speaker.tex
