last page number for a list
by Alan Bowen 03 Apr '24

03 Apr '24

How can I get the last page number of a chapter for a list (ToC)? Outside of a list, I use \lastpagenumber. But that does not work in a list such as the ToC. Any tips or pointers will be gladly received. Alan

How to get an image to fill the maximum available space?
by Joel 30 Mar '24

30 Mar '24

I have code like this: \placefigure[here, force]{my caption}{% \externalfigure[#1][frame=on, maxheight=1.2\textwidth, maxwidth=\textwidth]% }% I need some images to appear in a book. I need them to keep their proper ratios, but scale up to the maximize the available space. The image can't be more than \textwidth wide, and can't ever be more than 1.2\textwidth high. The problem I am getting with this code, and it does seem to be limiting the images to be not bigger than those two dimensions above, is some of the images, for reasons I can't understand, are appearing really tiny and aren't scaling up to fill as much space as is possible. I can't explain why this is happening--the images themselves are very very high resolution. Is there any way to modify the code to make sure the image stretches up to be the biggest it can, without exceeding the sizes I've listed? --Joel

Underbar
by Willi Egger 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Hello everybody, I have a text, where a couple of lines are typeset with \underbar. — To me this underbar is a fraction to near the text. So I wanted to use \setupbar[…] to change the offset. Unfortunately nothing happens whatever I try. MWE: \setupbar[offset=-.5,dy=-.5] \starttext Hello! \blank \underbar{Good buye!} \stoptext I am using the latest version of ConTeXt from March 11. Do I miss something? Kind regards Willi

Visually balanced columns
by Alexey Kryukov 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Hi list, I'd like to know if its is possible to get visually balanced mixedcolumns in lmtx. For example, if I have \blank's between paragraphs, I would like them to be stretched or expanded by a such way that the bottommost lines have the same vertical position -- no matter, how many lines there are in each column and how exactly they are aligned. If I understand correctly, that's how the multicols environment in LaTeX works, and that's how old-multicolumns worked -- but this module seems to be no longer supported in lmtx. I tried to disable gridfitting for startcolumns, but it produces a completely distorted output. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov <anagnost at yandex dot ru> Moscow State University Faculty of History

Headertext
by Thomas Meyer 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Hi folks, I know, with \setuphead[chapter][header=high] I can suppress the header text on the first page. But what can I do if I still want to have part of the header text on the first page? Is there something I can do with \definetext and if so, how? Thanks for any help Greetings Thomas

start/end pages in ToC
by Alan Bowen 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

Our journal is currently in the process of moving to continuous publication of items in a given volume as they are ready. This entails re-jigging the ToC so that it now includes the start and end page numbers of each item. So far, I have everything pretty much in the right place, but for the page numbers I am getting only “??”. I am not sure why this is happening and would be grateful if someone could tell me why or point me to documentation that explains the problem and how to solve it. Many thanks in advance. My minimalish working example: \definehead[SourceTitle][chapter] \setuphead[SourceTitle][page=yes, footer={ItemData}] \definehead[StudyTitle][chapter] \setuphead[StudyTitle][page=yes, footer={ItemData}] \definetext[ItemData][footer][ {\at[\Reference]– \at[\namedstructureuservariable{}{authorInitials}endPage]} ] \setuplist[SourceTitle][ state=start, textcolor=black, alternative=startendpages, criterium=all, headnumber=no, interaction=page, numberalign=flushright, before={\blank[2.2ex, fixed]}, inbetween=\endgraf, ] \setuplist[StudyTitle][ state=start, textcolor=black, alternative=startendpages, criterium=all, headnumber=no, interaction=all, numberalign=flushright, before={\blank[2.2ex, fixed]}, inbetween=\endgraf, ] \define\ToCEntry{% \structurelistuservariable{author}\crlf \structurelistuservariable{title}\hfill% \at[\structurelistuservariable{reference}]–% \at[\structurelistuservariable{authorInitials}endPage] } \definelistalternative[startendpages] [renderingsetup=list:startendpages] \startsetups[list:startendpages] {\ToCEntry} \vglue1pc \stopsetups \starttext {\tfa\bf Contents} \blank[line, fixed] \WORD{Sources} \blank[halfline, fixed] \placelist[SourceTitle][criterium=all] \blank[line, fixed] \WORD{Studies} \blank[halfline, fixed] \placelist[StudyTitle][criterium=all] \page[makeup] \setnumber[userpage][1] \def\Reference{RefSo01} \startSourceTitle[reference={\Reference}, bookmark=Source01, title={}][ title=Source01, author=Author01, authorInitials=ABC, reference={\Reference}, ] \input knuth \page \dorecurse{25}{\input ward\par} \reference[ABCendPage]{} \stopSourceTitle \page[makeup] \setnumber[userpage][1] \def\Reference{RefSo02} \startSourceTitle[reference={\Reference}, bookmark=Source02, title={}][ author=Author02, title=Source02, authorInitials=PQR, reference={\Reference}, ] \input knuth \page \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\par} \reference[PQRendPage]{} \stopSourceTitle \page[makeup] \setnumber[userpage][1] \def\Reference{RefSt01} \startStudyTitle[reference={\Reference}, bookmark=Study01, title={}][ author=Author03, title=Study01, authorInitials=XYZ, reference={\Reference}, ] \input knuth \blank[big] \page \dorecurse{15}{\input ward\par} \reference[XYZendPage]{} \stopStudyTitle \page[makeup] \stoptext Alan

(again) \xmlinlineprettyprinttext double hyphens
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] <code>mtxrun --script check file</code> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{code}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:code \xmlprettyprinttext{#1}{none} \xmlinlineprettyprinttext{#1}{none} \stopxmlsetups \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][TeX Gyre Cursor] [features={default}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Current LMTX (2024.03.11 09:34) is giving different results for double hyphens with \xmlprettyprinttext and \xmlinlineprettyprinttext. Since the output of \xmlinlineprettyprinttext is a wrong argument (in the sample), what am I missing here to get the right output with \xmlinlineprettyprinttext? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
