by juh 27 Aug '21

Hi, this sample shows that the image in a layer in header disappears if showframe is set. \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \definelayer[Cow] [x=0, y=0] \setlayer[Cow] [x=10em, y=0mm] {\externalfigure[cow][height=\lineheight]} \setupbackgrounds[header][background=Cow] \showframe \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jan Ulrich Hasecke -- Autoren-Homepage: ......... http://literatur.hasecke.com Satiren & Essays: ......... http://www.sudelbuch.de Privater Blog: ............ http://www.hasecke.eu Netzliteratur-Projekt: .... http://www.generationenprojekt.de

Indexing redux
by Rik Kabel 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

List, I am trying to create an index with both "see" and "see also" cross-reference entries.[1] At this point, ConTeXt provides basic support for "see" entries via the \seeREGISTER command (it does not properly support references to sub-entries) and it provides no support at all for "see also" entries. Can somebody suggest a way to generate these entries? Perhaps a way of inserting entries into the index before it is formatted, in the manner of \writetolist or \writebetweenlist? (MkII has \writetoregister, but that did not carry forward and I do not know if it would have helped here.) I had brought this up to no response a couple of years ago.[2] I am hopeful that LMTX may offer a chance to get support for improved indexing, and in particular for "see" and "see also" entries. [1] For definitions and usage of "see" entries, see https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/langspec/langref/index-see.html. For "see also" entries, see https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/langspec/langref/index-see-also.ht…. For a deeper dive, see the publicly available University of Chicago Manual of Style version 15 guide, chapter 18, available at https://press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/CHIIndexingComplete.pdf, or more recent versions not yet freely available online.

Test for displaying a header
by Fabrice Couvreur 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hi, I know I asked the question a few years ago, but I don't remember ! The idea is to test whether the document contains only one page or not. If it contains only one page, the header is enabled. If it contains several pages, the header is enabled only on the first page but not on the others. Thanks Fabrice

Why does HerosBold give bold italic?

Why does HerosBold give bold italic instead of just bold? \definefont[TestA][name:Heros at 14pt] \definefont[TestB][name:HerosBold at 14pt] \definefont[TestC][name:HerosItalic at 14pt] \starttext \TestA {The quick brown} \TestB {fox jumps over} \TestC {the lazy dog} \stoptext — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

MKIV ansi/ansilog
by Adam Reviczky 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hi, I have been using the ansi and ansilog flags in the past and they work fine with lmtx, but do not seem to make a difference with luatex/mkiv. (There was a thread back in 2019: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/095666.html) I am trying just a simple hello world: \starttext Hello World! \stoptext >From the latest lmtx install (2021.08.24 22:16) on an ubuntu 64bit live system: These give the desired color output for lmtx context --ansi test.tex context --ansilog test.tex But with luatex, these make no difference in the stdout (no ansi colors) context --luatex --ansi test.tex context --luatex --ansilog test.tex Adam

TOC labeltext and no partlabel
by Adam Reviczky 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hi, I have asked this question before, but now I cannot get it working again. https://ntg-context.ntg.narkive.com/lvvdNOQz/the-appendices-envrionment-and… I want to set partlabels in my TOC but not in the document itself. The desired output would be: --- Contents Chapter 1 Bodypart Appendix A Appendix 1 Bodypart A Appendix --- Based on Wolfgang's example, I am trying this MWE: \setuplabeltext[en][chapter=Chapter~] \setuplabeltext[en][appendix=Appendix~] \setuplist[chapter][label=yes,width=fit,stopper=~] \setuphead[chapter][bodypartlabel=,appendixlabel=] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent[label=section] \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Bodypart} \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{Appendix} \stopappendices \stoptext But that does not show the labels in the TOC (trying it with LMTX and MKIV). I must be doing something wrong. Any hints? Thanks, Adam

numbered exercises
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hi, I’m typesetting a textbook that contains numbered and indented exercises. They must not float. Which structure should I use for them? There must be an easy answer, but I draw a blank. At the moment I’m using heads, derived from 'section', but the exercises should have independent numbers, and I’m unsure how I should setup the indentation. With 'narrower' the numbered titles would be difficult. \setuplabeltext[en][Exercise=Exercise~] \definehead[Exercise][section] \setuphead[Exercise][ bodypartlabel=Exercise, number=yes, ownnumber=yes, % ?? way=bytext, % ?? ] \starttext \startExercise[title={Something to do},reference=ex:something] This can have several paragraphs and maybe images etc. \stopExercise \stoptext Hraban

Control of Titles appearing in \completelistoftables and \completelistoffigures
by Richard Mahoney 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

List, I've been wondering if there is some syntax that one can use in: \placetable or \placefigure to control the Table of Figure Title appearing in: \completelistoftables and \completelistoffigures At the moment one can do this for the output of: \completecontent with something such as the following: \startsection[title={Title in body},list={Title in contents}] Such a thing would be *extremely* useful for a current publication. :) Best, Richard -- T +6433121699 M +64210640216 E rmahoney(a)indica-et-buddhica.org IM https://t.me/rmahoney W https://indica-et-buddhica.org/ Indica et Buddhica Littledene Bay Road Oxford NZ
