The normal alignment of figures is with the bottom of the figure on the baseline. You can control the vertical alignment with a few box commands but what you should use depends on the context, in tables I would use 2 while in running text 3 can be better. Which alignment you’re using is your choice. \useMPlibrary[dum] \defineexternalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=3cm] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext Default: \externalfigure[dummy] %1: \bottomrightbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\quad 1: \aligned[bottom,right]{\externalfigure[dummy]}\quad 2: \tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\quad 3: \bbox{\externalfigure[dummy]} \stoptext Wolfgang Fabrice Couvreur schrieb am 26.08.18 um 10:50: > Hi Wolfgang, > Thank you but is not it better that the top of the figure is on the > baseline of the label ? > Fabrice > > @Mikael I meant : is the macro robust ? > > Le dim. 26 août 2018 à 09:58, Wolfgang Schuster > <wolfgang.schuster.lists(a)gmail.com > <mailto:wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com>> a écrit : > > Number them by hand (or replace the descriptions I used with > enumerations). > > The alignment of the graphics can be improved with the \tbox > command, which raises the argument by the height of a strut. > > > \useMPlibrary[dum] > > \switchtobodyfont[pagella,12pt] > > \setuplayout > [topspace=10mm, > header=10mm, > footer=10mm, > height=middle, > backspace=20mm, > width=middle] > > \definedescription > [Item] > [width=1.5em, > distance=none] > > \starttext > > \startxtable[bodyfont=10pt] > \startxrow > \startxcell[width=2cm] > Expression\\\m{B'(x)} > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{a.}\m{B'(x)=-x²+24x-117}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{b.}\m{B'(x)=-3x²+48x-117}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{c.}\m{B'(x)=-3x²+48x-317}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \stopxrow > \startxrow > \startxcell > Tableau de \\ signes de \\ \m{B'(x)} > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{d.}\tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{e.}\tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{f.}\tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \stopxrow > \startxrow > \startxcell > Tableau de\\variations\\de \m{B} > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{g.}\tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{h.}\tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \startxcell > \startItem{i.}\tbox{\externalfigure[dummy]}\stopItem > \stopxcell > \stopxrow > \stopxtable > > \stoptext > > Wolfgang > > > Fabrice Couvreur schrieb am 26.08.18 um 01:49: >> Hello, >> In the table, how to have a. b. c. in each line instead of a. a. a ? >> Is the macro to place the figures on the baseline of the labels >> to be improved ? >> Thanks. >> Fabrice >> >> \useMPlibrary[dum] >> >> \switchtobodyfont[pagella,12pt] >> >> \unexpanded\def\Item#1{\framed[frame=off,location=hanging]{#1}} >> >> \setuplayout >> [topspace=10mm, >> header=10mm, >> footer=10mm, >> height=middle, >> backspace=20mm, >> width=middle] >> >> \starttext >> \startxtable[frame=on,bodyfont=10pt] >> \startxrow >> \startxcell[width=2cm] >> Expression \\ \m{B'(x)} >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \m{B'(x)=-x²+24x-117} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \m{B'(x)=-3x²+48x-117} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \m{B'(x)=-3x²+48x-317} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \stopxrow >> \startxrow >> \startxcell >> Tableau de \\ signes de \\ \m{B'(x)} >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \Item{{\externalfigure[dummy]}} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \Item{\externalfigure[dummy]} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \Item{\externalfigure[dummy]} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \stopxrow >> \startxrow >> \startxcell >> Tableau de \\ variations\\de \m{B} >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \Item{\externalfigure[dummy]} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \Item{\externalfigure[dummy]} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \startxcell >> \startitemize[packed,a] >> \startitem >> \Item{\externalfigure[dummy]} >> \stopitem >> \stopitemize >> \stopxcell >> \stopxrow >> \stopxtable >> >> \stoptext >

Try it without the columns environment in your document, i.e. \startchapter[title=\mytitle{Register}] \placeregister[index] \stopchapter Hans van der Meer schrieb am 26.08.18 um 17:48: > Could the following setup I used be the culprit? > > \setupregister[index][pagestyle=slanted,textstyle=small,alternative=A] > > >> On 26 Aug 2018, at 17:43, Wolfgang Schuster >> <wolfgang.schuster.lists(a)gmail.com >> <mailto:wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >> The real question is why do you get an index without two columns. >> >> \starttext >> >> \dorecurse{26}{\convertnumber{a}{#1}\expanded{\index{\convertnumber{a}{#1}}}} >> >> \placeregister[index]%[n=3] >> >> \stoptext >> >> >> >> Hans van der Meer schrieb am 26.08.18 um 17:37: >>> How do I produce an index with more than one column? >>> >>> This produces one column only: >>> \startchapter[title=\mytitle{Register}] >>> \startcolumns[n=2] >>> \placeregister[index] >>> \stopcolumns >>> >>> Nor did \placeregister[index][n=2] or \placeindex[n=2], with or >>> without the columns envirenment, produce the result wanted. >>> The \startsimplecolumns[n=2] environment did produce two columns, >>> but then played havoc with the textheight. >>> >>> dr.

index with more than one column?
by Hans van der Meer 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

How do I produce an index with more than one column? This produces one column only: \startchapter[title=\mytitle{Register}] \startcolumns[n=2] \placeregister[index] \stopcolumns Nor did \placeregister[index][n=2] or \placeindex[n=2], with or without the columns envirenment, produce the result wanted. The \startsimplecolumns[n=2] environment did produce two columns, but then played havoc with the textheight. dr. Hans van der Meer

unwanted page break in contents
by Jeong Dal 26 Aug '18

Hi, In the table of contents, there is a unwanted blank space after chapter 2. There is a page break if the remaining space is not enough to cover the list of the next chapter. For example, page break after ch 2. in the following example. Is it possible to list them continuously? Best regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%%% \starttext \definepagebreak[emptyodd][yes,header, footer, odd] \setuphead[chapter][page=emptyodd] \setuphead[title][incrementnumber=list] \setupcombinedlist[content][list={title,chapter,section,subsection}] \setuplist[chapter, title][width=5mm, style=,textcommand={\ss\bf }] \setuplist[section][width=10mm, style=,textcommand={\ss }] \showframe \startfrontmatter \completecontent \page[empty] \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{9} {\chapter{Ch \recurselevel} \dorecurse{8} {\section{Section \recurselevel}} } \stopbodymatter \stoptext %%%%%%%%

Synctex + Sumatra + TextPad
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hello, this question extends the "[NTG-context] future versions - synctex" thread. I'm using TextPad for editing Ctx source files, PdfXChange Viewer to view PDFs, both on Windows. After reading some recent posts and after studying some web sources - especially [a] https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/docs/DDE-Commands.html for SumatraPDF viever and [b] https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/116981/how-to-configure-texniccente… for inspiration how to make TXC interoperate with Sumatra, I would like to provide "click-in-PDF-go-to-source" functionality - be Sumatra the viewer for this case. Questions are: 1. How to run Sumatra so that it opens a PDF file AND reacts somehow to a mouse click, in order to provide a command to get to the corresponding place in the source file? (IIUC, Sumatra provides such functionality, as e.g. TeXnic Center use it. [b].) I guess that I have to configure Sumatra somehow, or to launch Sumatra with some command line parameters, so that when I click a point in the PDF (maybe while also holding CTRL or something - but it is a detail), a command is launched to open the source file in the editor and go to a particular line. 2. What should be the command line parameters passed to Sumatra to provide the linkage "open PDF-source at line"? I deduce also that such command should call "mtxrun --script synctex" somehow (which will call "...\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua\mtx-synctex.lua") as the "mtx-synctex" is able to read the .synctex produced during compilation of .tex files. I deduce also that "mtx-synctex" calls the editor (which the user uses to edit source files) in the manner that it tells the editor "open file (...) and go to line (...). Existing "mtx-synctex" is "aware" of "scite" editor, which is - next to "console" - the only editor pre-configured. So: 3. What code should be added into "mtx-synctex" in order to make TextPad an editor known to "mtx-synctex"? I found and tried that command e.g. 'C:\Program Files\TextPad 7\system\ddeopn32.exe" TextPad.dde Test.mkiv(40)' successfully opens "Test.mkiv" (being open before) and scrolls to line #40. (TextPad location may vary - depending on version installed - can be e.g.: C:\Program Files\TextPad 7 C:\Program Files (x86)\TextPad 7 C:\Program Files\TextPad 8 ... ) Any idea would be appreciated...

Spurious breaks in export when blank line ends paragraph
by Rik Kabel 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

List, My understanding of start/stop macros such as \startparagraph...\stopparagraph has been that blank lines are allowed between the block of text and the macros, as \startparagraph This is the text of the paragraph \stopparagraph However, in xml exports the blank line before \stopparagraph leads to spurious break elements in some circumstances, as shown in the following: \setupbackend [export=yes,xhtml=yes] \starttext \startsection[title=trailing blank line] \startparagraph Xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx. Xxx xxxxxxxx xxxxx, \inleft{z} xxxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxx xx xxxxx, xxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxxxx xxxx, xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx. Xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx x xxxxxx, xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxx. Xxxx xxx xxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxx xxxx, xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx, xxx xxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxx xxxxxx \inleft{zz}. Xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxx (xxxxx, xxxxxxx, xx xxx xxxxxx). \stopparagraph \stopsection \startsection[title=no blank line] \startparagraph Xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx. Xxx xxxxxxxx xxxxx, \inleft{z} xxxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxx xx xxxxx, xxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxxxx xxxx, xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx. Xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx x xxxxxx, xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxx. Xxxx xxx xxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxx xxxx, xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx, xxx xxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxx xxxxxx \inleft{zz}. Xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxx (xxxxx, xxxxxxx, xx xxx xxxxxx). \stopparagraph \stopsection \startsection[title=Another section] \startparagraph This is here to show the bottom of the previous section. \stopparagraph \stopsection \stoptext Note that the pdf output does not display the problem, but the pdf output is not why one runs an export. The breaks disappear in shorter paragraphs, and disappear when the margintext is not present, but appear when margintext is present and the paragraph exceeds some length which I have not worked to determine. Is my understanding of the space rules incorrect, or is this a bug? Since some breaks perhaps should be present, it is difficult to remove these with CSS, or XSLT. One thing that might help is to add a class identifier to breaks indicating what lead to their creation. Of course, not generating these would be better still. -- Rik
