Aaligned numbers in a matrix?
by Bruce Horrocks 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

I'm using the following MWE to produce a matrix: \definemathmatrix[bmatrix] [matrix:brackets] [simplecommand=bmatrix] \starttext $ a \rightarrow \bmatrix{1, 2, 3, 4; 2, 1, 4, 3; 3,-4, 1,-2; 4,-3, 2,-1} $ \stoptext The columns with negative numbers in are centred and I would rather have them right-aligned so that the digits stack up above each other and the negative signs stick out to the left, so to speak. Is there an easy way to achieve this? — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

How to add data from another PDF in index?
by Joel 26 Feb '23

26 Feb '23

I am making a textbook and workbook set. I have this custom index using this code, in both the textbook and workbook: % \defineregister[learnedshort][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedshort][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \defineregister[learnedlong][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedlong][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \define[1]\learnedis{% \txt{} \getvalue{#1} \learnedshort{#1} \learnedlong{#1} } \define[1]\learned{% \learnedshort{#1} \learnedlong{\getvalue{#1}} } \starttext \learnedis{blah blah} \input knuth \learnedis{some more} \startchapter[title=Standards] \placelearnedshort \stopchapter \stoptext My question is, can I have references to the Workbook page numbers in the textbook? And visa-versa? For instance, the Textbook index currently looks like this: ------------- Standards blah blah 1 some more 2 -------------- With the data in the Workbook it might look like this: Standards blah blah 1, WB: 1, 3-8 some more 2, WB: 8-9 yet more WB: 10, 12 -------------- Is this possible to merge index information like this? --Joel

Hi, I uploaded a new version. We further improved Antykwa support, \switchtobodyfont[antykwa] \startTEXpage[offset=1dk] \im{ f' = f'' = f''' = f'''' = a + b + \ldots + c + \overbar{x} + \overbar{S} + \bar{x} + \widebar{x} } \im{ \fenced[doublebar]{x} = \fenced[doublebar][size=1]{x_1} = \fenced[doublebar][size=2]{x_2} = \fenced[doublebar][size=3]{x_3} = \fenced[doublebar][size=4]{x_4} = \fenced[doublebar]{\blackrule[width=1cm,height=1cm]} } \im{ \fenced[bar]{x} = \fenced[bar][size=1]{x_1} = \fenced[bar][size=2]{x_2} = \fenced[bar][size=3]{x_3} = \fenced[bar][size=4]{x_4} = \fenced[bar]{\blackrule[width=1cm,height=1cm]} } \im{ \fenced[brace]{x} = \fenced[brace][size=1]{x_1} = \fenced[brace][size=2]{x_2} = \fenced[brace][size=3]{x_3} = \fenced[brace][size=4]{x_4} = \fenced[brace]{\blackrule[width=1cm,height=1cm]} } \im{ \root[4]{1+x^2+a} + \frac{1}{1+x^2+a} + \overparent{1+x^2+a} + \overbrace{1+x^2+a} + \overparent{x} + \overbrace{x} + \overbrace{i} } \stopTEXpage This time with fancy radical bars, fraction bars, vertical bars, over and underbars etc. Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Indenting next multi paragraph description
by Alex Leray 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

Hi, I'd like to indent next paragraphs in multi paragraph descriptions. For some reason, I can't figure out why this isn't working. Any idea? Here is my code: ### \setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[yes, 3em, next] \definedescription[question][ before={\vskip-\parskip}, after={\vskip-\parskip}, width=3em, hang=3, ] \definedescription[answer][ before={\vskip-\parskip}, after={\vskip-\parskip}, width=3em, hang=3, indenting={yes, 3em, next}, % Does nothing indentnext=yes, % Does nothing too ] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] \startquestion{(T.C.)} \input ward \stopquestion \startanswer{(N.M.)} \input ward \input ward \stopanswer \stopcolumns \stoptext ### Thanks!

Chapter cover page
by Alex Leray 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to design a chapter page for a custom head section with uservariables defined. I'd like to have the chapter page start on a right page. I'd like this page to feature the title of the chapter (here: an interview) along with some other info like the interviewee name and bio. All in a "fancy" layout. I'm having issue putting it all together. The command parameter allow me to override the content of the title but has some drawbacks (it seems to be stuck in horizontal mode for instance). I'm open to any solution but would find it nice to keep the \startstopinterview structure. Here is my code at the moment: %%% \define[2]\MyChapter{ \starttabulate[|p(\layoutcolumnwidth)|p(\layoutcolumnwidth)|] \NC \structureuservariable{author} \NC \structureuservariable{bio} \NR \stoptabulate } \definehead[interview][chapter] \setuphead[interview][ page=right, command=\MyChapter, % insidesection={\page}, style={\tfa}, ] \starttext \startinterview[title={My Interview}][ author={Jane Doe}, year={2022}, month={Decembre}, bio={\input ward} ] \dorecurse{10}{\input ward \crlf} \stopinterview \stoptext %%% Many thanks
