\writetolist not writing the number to the TOC
by Willi Egger 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Good evening! I have a setup in which I need to send info to the TOC: Consider the following example: \starttext \starttitle[title=Contents] \placelist[chapter][criterium=all] \stoptitle \startchapter[title=Mychapter] \input knuth \startsubject[title=Subject will be in TOC] \writetolist[chapter]{1}{I am in TOC!} \input ward \stopsubject \stopchapter \stoptext According to the Wiki I should get te number (1) in the TOC. Instead the text starts at the height of the chapter-numbering and is not carrying the given number. Am I doing something wrong? Kind regards Willi

\definemathfence broken in latest
by Gavin 26 Mar '23

26 Mar '23

Hi List, The command \definemathfence seems to not be working as it did in other recent LMTX. MWE: \definemathfence[abs][bar][command=yes] \starttext \startformula \abs{v} = \frac{1.32}{1.41} = 0.935 \stopformula \stoptext This causes an error, complaining that \abs is undefined. However, workes fine with ConTeXt ver: 2023.02.07 19:06 LMTX fmt: 2023.3.14 int: english/english Should I be doing this differently? Gavin

How to prefix the list of figures with part number?
by Willi Egger 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hello again, My project has different parts. Each part contains a whole list of figures. At the beginning of the book I would like to place a list of all figures. Hoever they should be prefixed with the part number. I can not figure out how to achieve this. May be someone can hint me… Cheers Willi \setuplist[figures][pageprefixsegments=part:chapter] % Pageprefix? \setuphead[part][placehead=yes] \starttext \startpart[title=part one] \starttitle[title=Contents] \placelist[part,chapter][criterium=all] \startsubject[title=Figures] \placelistoffigures[criterium=all] \stopsubject \stoptitle \startchapter[title=Mychapter] \input knuth \startsubject[title=Subject will be in TOC] \writetolist[chapter]{1}{I am in TOC!} \input ward \startplacefigure [location=middle, title=Cow 1] {\externalfigure[cow][width=7cm]} \stopplacefigure \stopsubject \stopchapter \stoppart \startpart[title=Part two] \startchapter[title=Myotherchapter] \startplacefigure [location=middle, title=Cow 2] {\externalfigure[cow][width=7cm]} \stopplacefigure \stopchapter \stoppart \stoptext

How to rotate the caption of a table...
by Willi Egger 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hello everybody, in my project is a table which does not fit the width of the page. Hence I need to rotate it. Rotating the table is ok, but the caption is not rotated. My question is how can I instruct ConTeXt to rotate the caption and place it on the right side? My attempt: \setupcaption[table][location=right,orientation=90] \startplacetable [location=middle, reference=tab:papierformaten, title={Standaardformaten}] \rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[Table1][type=buffer]} \stopplacetable Thank you for your support Willi

\setupTABLE: framecolor
by jbf 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hi, I am struggling with the last row of a table which, according to its author, should have a black bottomframe, but gray (I am using a defined 'lightgray') for the sides. The first row has a black frame. All intermediate rows have gray. I have no difficulty achieving the first row, and the black bottomframe for the last row, but I have been unable to get the last row sides to be gray. Here is the current setups that I have: \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[row] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold] \setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=off,rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray] \setupTABLE[row][3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21][frame=on, framecolor=lightgray] \setupTABLE[row] [last] [bottomframe=on,style=normal] My first row is fine and all but the topframe of row 2 is 'lightgray'; all following rows are 'lightgray'. The last row (22) has a black bottomframe, but how could I achieve 'lightgray' for rightframe, leftframe? If I add a new setup e.g. \setupTABLE[row][last][rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray] then I lose the bottomframe in black. I have tried all kinds of combinations but unsuccessfully.

Building fomula
by Willi Egger 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Good afternoon everybody, I should place two faily simple formulae next to each other, they should be coupled by ‘or’. What I have now is, that the formulae indeed are next to each other and separated by ‘or’, but the result of the second formula is moved und this formula to the next line. In the setup of book there would be enough place, if I coud decrease the space left and right of the ‘or’. How can I achieve this? Cheers Willi \starttext \startformulas \startformula[align=right] {\frac{47 \times 62}{44 \times 56}} \times {12} \stopformula \startformula[align=right,width=0.2\textwidth] or \stopformula \startformula[align=right] {{\frac{47 \times 62 \times 12}{44 \times 56}}=14.2 \rm kilo} \stopformula \stopformulas \blank[small] rounded 14 kilo. \stoptext

building from source
by Rainer J.H. Brandt 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Dear Context developers, I want to build Context MkXL from source and use that. I went to the download page http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm and downloaded the 2023-03-20 version: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/latest/cont-tmf.zip This contains README.adoc which tells me that information can be found on https://wiki.contextgarden.net. I don't find any further information about building from source, either in the dowloaded material, or on the wiki or the pragma-ade.com site. What am I overlooking? Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer J.H.

Problem with \stoptabulate
by Bruce Horrocks 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

I have a technical manual style document that requires a lot of examples to be included. They can easily be typeset with a table so I thought I would save myself some typing by defining macros for the various bits of a tabulate table. Thus I have: \def\startMyExample{\starttabulate[|r|c|l|p|]} \def\stopMyExample{\stoptabulate} \def\MyExampleItem#1#2#3{\NC #1 \NC \rightarrow \NC #2 \NC #3 \NC\NR} \starttext Here are some examples... \startMyExample \MyExampleItem{before}{after}{change before into after} \MyExampleItem{straw}{gold}{Rumpelstiltskin} \stopMyExample %\stoptabulate \stoptext The problem is that \stopMyExample doesn't work - the \stoptabulate isn't recognised and I get an end of file reached error. If use a straight \stoptabulate then it works as expected. That's fine but it would be nice, from an aesthetic point of view, to have start & stop 'paired' commands in the source. Presumably some sort of deep ConTeXt fu is going on - can anyone explain it please? Regards, — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
