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

Spacing between headings
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Hi, I want to make the spacing before headings conditional. Like, apply the spacing if the a heading follows some text, but not if it immediately follows a previous heading. This has been requested before : https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg63950.html Does there exist a way now, to achieve this? Best, Denis \setuphead [section, subsection] [number=yes] \setuphead [section] [before={\blank[2*big]}, after={\blank[big]}] \setuphead [subsection] [before={\blank[2*big]}, after={\blank[big]}] \starttext \section{A} \input knuth \subsection{B} % regular spacing here \input knuth \section{C} \subsection{D} % less spacing here \input knuth \stoptext

Thanks in advance Jan-Erik

\startnarrow seems to have no effect for tabulate
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

Hi, I need to have a table set with tabulate centered and a bit narrower. But it seems that \startnarrow has no effect on the tabulate. Am I missing something ? Is there a better way to achieve the same thing? Best, Denis \starttext \showframe \startplacefigure[location=force,number=no] \startnarrow[left=5cm,right=5cm] \starttabulate [|p|p|] \NC Das ist ein Text \NC Das ist noch ein Text \NC\NR \NC Das ist ein Text \NC Das ist noch ein Text \NC\NR \NC Das ist ein Text \NC Das ist noch ein Text \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopnarrow \stopplacefigure \stoptext

Unexpected results with \xmlpos
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

Hi, I'm getting unexpected results for \xmlpos With the example below, I was expecting to get the following positions: 1 2 3 4 However the result is: 2 4 6 8, i.e. each time it's exactly the double. What am I missing? Background: I need to define column alignment based on the value of the <col> element inside the colgroup, so I was thinking about something like this : \xmlmapvalue{colstyle}{dir: rtl}{align=righttolef } \xmlmapvalue{colstyle}{dir: ltr}{align=lefttoright} \startxmlsetups xml:table:colgroup:col \setupTABLE[c][\xmlpos{#1}][\xmlvalue{colstyle}{\xmlatt{#1}{style}}{}] \stopxmlsetups Best, Denis \startbuffer[test] <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes?> <document> <table-wrap> <table> <colgroup> <col/> <col style="dir: rtl"/> <col style="dir: rtl"/> <col/> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>a</th> <th>b</th> <th>c</th> <th>d</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>a</td> <td>b</td> <td>c</td> <td>d</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </table-wrap> </document> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{document}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{table-wrap}{xml:table-wrap} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{table}{xml:table} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:test} \startxmlsetups xml:document \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table-wrap \startplacetable \xmlflush{#1} \stopplacetable \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:colgroup %\xmlvalue{colstyle}{\xmlatt{#1}{style}}{} \xmlfilter {#1} {/col/command(xml:table:colgroup:col)} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:colgroup:col %\xmlvalue{colstyle}{\xmlatt{#1}{style}}{} \xmlpos {#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table \xmlfilter {#1} {/colgroup/command(xml:table:colgroup)} \bTABLE \xmlfilter{#1}{/thead/command(xml:table:thead)} \xmlfilter{#1}{/tbody/command(xml:table:tbody)} \eTABLE \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:thead \bTABLEhead \xmlfilter{#1}{/tr/command(xml:table:thead:tr)} \eTABLEhead \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:thead:tr \bTR \xmlfilter{#1}{/th/command(xml:table:thead:tr:th)} \eTR \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:thead:tr:th \bTH \xmlflush{#1} \eTH \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:tbody \bTABLEbody\xmlfilter{#1}{/tr/command(xml:table:tbody:tr)}\eTABLEbody \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:tbody:tr \bTR\xmlfilter{#1}{/td/command(xml:table:tbody:tr:td)}\eTR \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:tbody:tr:td \bTC \xmlflush{#1} \eTC \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{} \stoptext

How to prevent \subject from being the last line
by Sylvain Hubert 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Dear list, I have a long document (A4 * 170 pages) with some CJK fonts, where some of the \subject{...} are placed at the end of the corresponding pages, which looks awkward. How can one flush those last-line titles to the next pages? Currently I don't have a MWE, as trivial filling-up with 1-2 pages of \lipsum doesn't reproduce the problem. I'm optimistically asking without MWE, but if it is necessary anyway, please tell me and I will obfuscate the 170-page document and find a way to upload it. Many thanks, Sylvain

Re: [NTG-context] \typefile not including file and returning success

It's a workaround at least. But context returning success when it clearly doesn't include the file is unfortunate. The missing file might go completely unnoticed. I'd expect an error there. Marco

Lettrine module not working?!
