numbering pages included by \copypages
by Alan Bowen 28 Sep '20

28 Sep '20

I need to include several documents in a single paginated file. Treating the source file (.tex) of each document as a component file in a .prd file is one way to go. But I was wondering if it might be possible to do get the same result using the .pdf files of each document instead. \copypages is promising: it includes the. pdf files and the counter in the resultant .prd file is correct. But what I still have to get is the page number on all pages of the included .pdf files except the first page in each. I looked at \startpagefigure but that would be a very cumbersome way to go since there over 350 pages to include, given that it handles only one page at a time. I hope that this makes sense. Any suggestions or pointers will be most welcome. Alan

scaling images
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

Hi, I’m struggling with scaling images: \externalfigure[hacker][width=0.5\textwidth] looks right. If I use the scale / xscale / yscale options, the image gets smaller, regardless of height/width settings, i.e. with \externalfigure[hacker][width=0.5\textwidth,yscale=500,xscale=1000] It looks like scaling resets height/width settings and uses the image size defined by its resolution. In my current project, I can’t seem to manage to y-scale an image in a float, but I couldn’t reproduce that in a MWE yet, don’t know it it’s related. (both LMTX or MkIV, v. 2020.09.20 23:02) Hraban

Index range with page number suffix
by Duncan Hothersall 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

(Using mkiv.) I have an index in which some entries need suffixes on the page numbers, for which I have used processors. For index ranges, I need the page number suffix only to appear on the end page number, not the start page number. The below MWE produces an index entry: sausage 1i-2i What I need is: sausage 1-2i Is this possible? MWE \defineprocessor[important][right={\it{i}}] \starttext \samplefile{knuth} \startregister[index][sausage][important->sausage]{sausage} \dorecurse{6}{\samplefile{knuth}} \stopregister[index][sausage]{sausage} \samplefile{knuth} \page \placeindex \stoptext Thanks in advance, Duncan

Arabic support
by Denis Maier 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi Just wondering what the current support for Arabic is. Does anyone know? My document works fine for Hebrew and I've just added a new fontfallbac: \definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][Scheherazade] [range=arabic, force=yes, features=arabic] Bidi is activated with \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=unicode] Is that enough for Arabic? Or are there other things I need to take care of? E.g. searching in the mailing-list archive I found this message: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg78573.html > You have to set the bidi settings again for the footnotes because > the notes mechanism resets many of these setups. > \startsetups[note:footnote] > \setupdirections[bidi=global] > \stopsetups > > \setupnote[footnote][setups=note:footnote] % align=righttoleft Is that still true? Anything else I need to be aware of? Best, Denis

Debug mode for XML processing
by Denis Maier 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, Is there are debug mode for XML processing? I'm thinking of something where the XML mapping gets applied to your XML, and you receive a tex file as the output. Could sometimes be easier to see where things go off the rails. Best, Denis

issue with interaction=all and \insertpages
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplayout[page] \setupinteraction [state=start, color=, contrastcolor=, focus=standard] \enabledirectives[references.border=red] \setupexternalfigures[interaction=all, method=pdf] \setupinteractionscreen[option={portrait, paper}] \starttext %~ \insertpages[http://gaceta.rsme.es/abrir.php?id=1495][width=0pt] \insertpages[GacRSocMatEsp.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext I have some issues with it. 1. For some strange reason, the first \insertpages command with a remote file cannot deal with the interaction from the file (no internal or external links). 2. The local file includes internal destinations to page parts. After imposition, destinations to page for internal links cannot reach the page parts as links in original document do. 3. Even external links are converted. On last page, https://www.cs.umb.edu/~offner/files/pi.pdf is rewritten as https://www.cs.umb.edu/õffner/files/pi.pdf. Besides the rewritten link, would it be possible that links are added so they reach the same destinations as their source PDF document? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

23 Sep '20

Hello, how do I shift unnumbered ToC entry (here: \subsubsection)? My attempt: ---- \setuphead[subsubsection][number=no] \setuplist[subsubsection][distance=20mm,width=20mm] \starttext \placecontent \page \section{S} \subsection{Ss} \subsubsection{Sss} \stoptext ---- I'm getting: " 1. S 1.1 Ss Sss " but I'd rather see: " 1. S 1.1 Ss Sss " How to achieve this? Best regards, Lukas

Full page image and caption in another page?
by José de Mattos Neto 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, it's my first message on this list. I've searched in ConTeXt manuals, TeX.SX and here, but couldn't find a way to achieve these 4 requirements altogether: 1. Place a figure as full-page figure 2. Change orientation accordingly (if it's a landscape PDF, for instance) 3. Make that using \setupfloat (or other setup), not directly in \placefloat 4. Place captions in another page (ideally on opposite page) Problems: - I can't get # 1 and # 3 at same time - \setupfloat doesn't have before option, which I could use to change orientation - I have no idea how to accomplish # 4 A minimal working example (PDF in attachment): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definepapersize[default][A4, portrait] \definelayout[default][topspace=0.6cm, topdistance=0cm, header=1cm, headerdistance=0cm, height=27.3cm, footer=0cm, backspace=4.2cm, width=13.6cm] \setuppapersize[default] \setuplayout[default] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location={header}] \setupexternalfigures[location={default}] \definepapersize[rotate][A4, landscape] \definefloat[bigfigure][bigfigures][figure] \setupfloat[bigfigure][default={page}, width=1\textwidth, height=1\textheight, before={\setuppapersize[rotate]}] % there's no before in setupfloat \setupcaption[bigfigure][location={opposite}] % there's no opposite location in setupcaption \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{2}{\input{knuth}} \setuppapersize[rotate] % this doesn't work because is in same page \startplacebigfigure[title={A cow}]{\externalfigure[cow]}\stopplacebigfigure \setuppapersize[default] \dorecurse{2}{\input{knuth}} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thanks in advance!
