solution to suppressing header in ToC
by jbf 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Hi list, I am offering the solution I found for myself for suppressing headers in a multipage Table of Contents, after trying a number of other unsuccessful approaches. My solution may be useful for others, but it may also be that, while it works, there may be even better solutions that someone wishes to offer. The problem was that \definehead [tochead] [title] \starttochead[title={Contents}] \setupheader[state=stop] \placecombinedlist[content] \stoptochead was giving me headers on the second and third pages of the ToC, and my publisher did not want those headers to appear, but did want page numbers still. A successful solution is: \starttochead[title={Contents}] \setupheader[state=stop] \placecombinedlist[content] \stoptochead and then, after, the first full text page, to put: \starttitle[title={Acknowledgments}] \setupheader[state=empty] If I had state=normal, it gave me a header on the first page of 'Acknowledgements'. but state=empty gave me what I needed in this case.

header/footer in toc
by jbf 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

I notice that when I use \definehead [tochead] [title] \starttochead[title={Contents}] \placecombinedlist[content] \stoptochead I am getting header and footer still (not on the first page, but on following pages - the TOC runs into several pages). How can I prevent that happening, or more specifically, could I prevent just the header but leave the footer (page number)? I tried using \startmakeup but that ruins the layout of my TOC. I also tried adding [header=empty] to my combinedlist setup: \setupcombinedlist [content][header=empty] but that didn't work either. What am I missing? Julian

help with forced page break in TOC
by jbf 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

I am unable to adapt the example given in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break to my situation: In my case, the ToC has no chapters per se, but uses a defined \mytitle. This produces a series of unnumbered items in the ToC. The example in contextgarden tells me to first define the break, which I have done: \definelistextra[page][before=\page] It then tells me to call this in where I \placecontent (in my case I am using my own defined \placecombined list[content]). The example given in the wiki is: \placecontent[extras={6=page}] But I have unnumbered items which are titles (mytitles), so I am not sure what to replace '6' with. I tried: \placecombinedlist[content][extras={mytitle title={Elements of Reading}=page}] since 'Elements of reading' is the title before which I want the page break to occur. This does not work. I tried variation of it, e.g. since it is the third such title I tried ][extras={3=page}] but that does nothing either. Any clues as to how I can resolve this small problem? Julian

wrong linebreak with latest LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Dear list, I don’t have a minimal sample, but the following images display problems in linebreaks using LMTX (LuaTeX 2.07 20200920 + ConTeXt MkIV 2020.09.20 23:02). 1. https://pdf.ousia.tk/wrong-linebreak.png. 2. https://pdf.ousia.tk/wrong-linebreak-again.png. 3. https://pdf.ousia.tk/wrong-linebreak-nohz-nothanging.png. I guess a sample would be required for a fix, but I have to find time to write it. Maybe someone else could confirm a similar issue with linebreaks. I enable expansion and protrusion, but the third sample shows unintended protrusion on the first line of the paragraph. Also adding broad to hz and hanging in align doesn’t make any difference. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

buggy cropbox and trimbox?
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Oct '20

03 Oct '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteractionscreen [width=fit] \starttext \null \stoptext The first command adds cropbox and trimbox different from the media box. See PDF code: 5 0 obj [ 0 0 595.2756 841.8898 ] endobj 6 0 obj << /CropBox 7 0 R /MediaBox 5 0 R /TrimBox 7 0 R >> endobj 7 0 obj [ 0 0 595.2756 841.8898 ] endobj As far as I understand, the width option from \setupinteractionscreen refers to the display of the document in the PDF viewer. Is this really so and there is an issue with this, or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Protusion and spurios empty line
by Denis Maier 03 Oct '20

Hi, I'm getting emtpy lines after paragraph breaks, where the last character is just squeezed in. Looks like it has to do with the bidi mechanism. Commenting out this line removes the effect. (Somewhat long) Example below. Is there a fix for that?

color problem
by Susanne G. Loeber 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Dear Reader, I have a colored section, text in another color and a TikZ picture with a differently colored node, following each other. However, either the node gets the wrong color or the following paragraph, see example below. Is there something wrong with the section settings? How do I get all the colors right without using a paragraph in between? \setuphead[chapter] [ style={\tfd}, color={A2plus}, ] \setuphead[section] [ style={\tfc}, color={A3plus}, ] \definecolor[A1plus][h=5CAF00] \definecolor[A2plus][h=B6437E] \definecolor[A3plus][h=606ABD] \definecolor[A4plus][h=FFC700] \definecolor[A5plus][h=D0202B] \definecolor[A6plus][h=EF8600] \definecolor[A7plus][h=0082AA] \setupcolors[textcolor=A1plus] \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \startchapter[title={Colour test}, ref=colourtest] \startsection[title={Section}] \starttikzpicture \draw[text=A6plus] (0,0) rectangle (2,1) node[right] {node text should be orange}; \stoptikzpicture \par This a paragraph which gets the colour of the section for no reason. \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Colour test 2}, ref=colourtest] \startsection[title={Another section }] \par This a paragraph in the appropriate text color (green). \starttikzpicture \draw[text=A6plus] (0,0) rectangle (2,1) node[right] {node text is orange}; \stoptikzpicture \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext

Best way to store text for later use
by Denis Maier 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Hi, For typesetting XML I'm wondering how to best store text for later use: I've tried using buffers, but this here doesn't work: ================== \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta \setupdocument [ pub-year=\xmlfilter{#1}{/pub-date/year/command(xml:article-meta:pubdate:year)}, volume=\xmlfilter{#1}{/volume/command(xml:article-meta:volume)}, doi=\xmlfilter{#1}{/article-id[@pub-id-type='doi']/command(xml:article-meta:doi)}, elocation-id=\xmlfilter{#1}{/elocation-id/command(xml:article-meta:elocation-id)}, title=\xmlfilter{#1}{/title-group/article-title/command(xml:article-meta:title-group:article-title)}, author={\AuthorList}, ] \startbuffer[abstract] \xmlfilter{#1}{/abstract/command(xml:article-meta:abstract)} \stopbuffer \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta:abstract \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups =================== This here works: ================== \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta \setupdocument [ pub-year=\xmlfilter{#1}{/pub-date/year/command(xml:article-meta:pubdate:year)}, volume=\xmlfilter{#1}{/volume/command(xml:article-meta:volume)}, doi=\xmlfilter{#1}{/article-id[@pub-id-type='doi']/command(xml:article-meta:doi)}, elocation-id=\xmlfilter{#1}{/elocation-id/command(xml:article-meta:elocation-id)}, title=\xmlfilter{#1}{/title-group/article-title/command(xml:article-meta:title-group:article-title)}, author={\AuthorList}, abstract=\xmlfilter{#1}{/abstract/command(xml:article-meta:abstract)}, ] \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:article-meta:abstract \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups =================== But has using a variable for the abstract any drawbacks? (The abstract might contain multiple paragraphs.) Best, Denis

library 'uni' is unknown
by Susanne G. Loeber 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Dear Reader, https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols shows predefined symbol sets. The uni and wasysym are unknown. Hereby my example: \usesymbols[mvs] \usesymbols[uni] \usesymbols[wasysym] %% \usesymbols[ifsym] \starttext \par Show entire set martinvogel 1 \showsymbolset[martinvogel 1] \par Show YinYang symbol from martinvogel 2. \crlf \symbol[martinvogel 2][YinYang] %% \symbol[Alpine Symbol][Flag] \stoptext Console output fonts > symbols > library 'mvs' loaded fonts > symbols > library 'uni' is unknown fonts > symbols > library 'wasysym' is unknown The ultimate goal is to show a flag from the alpine symbol set from ifsym. However, I will settle with a flag from uni if it means I don't have to install files. Kind regards, Susanne
