part titles not showing up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Hi together, I wonder why I can’t seem to get my part titles visible: %\setuphead[part]{WHAT?} \starttext \part{Bart Eins} \chapter{Gabiddel Eins} \input tufte \chapter{Gabiddel Dswei} \input tufte \part{Bart Zwei} \chapter{Gabiddel Trei} \input tufte \stoptext I also tried \startpart[title=Something] etc. to no avail. If I remember correctly, part titles shouldn't need any setup to at least show up somehow?

Unexpanded texdefinition produces “Undefined control sequence”
by Marco Patzer 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Hi, the following example produces an “Undefined control sequence” error. If \def is used instead of \starttexdefinition then there is no error. Why? \starttexcode \installcommandhandler{foo}{foo}{foo} \appendtoks \setuevalue{start\currentfoo}{\foo@start[\currentfoo]}%% \setuevalue{stop\currentfoo }{\foo@stop}%% \to\everydefinefoo \starttexdefinition unexpanded foo@start [#1] \stoptexdefinition %% works %% \unexpanded\def\foo@stop{} %% produces undefined control sequence error \starttexdefinition unexpanded foo@stop \stoptexdefinition \stoptexcode \definefoo [myfoo] \starttext \startmyfoo Foobar \stopmyfoo \stoptext Marco

flow text around graphic: lower right
by Lars Huttar 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hi all, We have the small self-contained example below, in which text flows around a graphic. The graphic is aligned with the upper-left corner of the text paragraph (despite \setuphanging[location=right]). We would very much like to have the graphic align with the lower right corner of the paragraph. Is there any way to do that? \definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2] \setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}] \setuphanging[location=right] \starttext \startcolumnset[TwoColumns] \dorecurse{3}{ \starthangaround{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]} I want this cow to be in the lower right corner of the paragraph. \input knuth \stophangaround } \stopcolumnset \stoptext Versions: We're using mkii. But we get the same results for mkii and mkiv on the example above. Thanks, Lars

Thank you! I dont understand this command, what does "1ex plus 1ex minus .2ex " excactly mean? Does it mean the consecutive distance is element of the interval [0,8ex;2ex] or what? > >/ The question is, only to add an minimal distance, wich has not to be > />/ undercut while protrusing and justifying. > / > Example please > > Marco I am asking for the example :) Or what do you mean. Your example above is exactly, what I was searching for. Only the syntax have to be understood. Huseyin

Re: [NTG-context] Typesetting Classical Arabic Poetry

Hi Idris, thank you much for your answer and also the attached files! I've played around with your module and ran into some problems which may have been due to my inexperiencedness with ConTeXt (rupturing of ligatures, at least with Scheherazade and inconsistent line height). Marco has been helping me though, and it looks like he solved those problems while improving on your module while doing so. He doesn't seem to be done with it yet and perhaps he'll want to reply himself when he is, so I'll leave it at that for now :-) Best regards from Germany, Jonathan

Minimal word-distance?
by "H. Özoguz" 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Beyond the possibility to influence the tolerance by \setuptolerance, is it possible to declare explicit the minimal allowed word-distance? I ask, because in some cases the distance between consecutive words is too low (already using \setuptolerance[verstrict]). Thanks. Huseyin

left bracket in string.format()
by Peter Rolf 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hi, Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour. I want to fill a TABLE row with "[<number>]", but the leading left bracket causes some problems here. I tried the syntax 'print(string.format("[%d]",10)' in pure lua and the result is as desired. %% -------------- \starttext \startluacode context.bTABLE{} context.bTR() for i = 1,8 do context.bTH() context(string.format("[%d]",i)) context.eTH() end context.eTR() context.eTABLE() \stopluacode \stoptext %% -------------- gives [..] fonts > 'fallback modern rm 12pt' is loaded setup > error in line 6, namespace '354>', key '1' setup > error in line 9, namespace '354>', key '2' setup > error in line 12, namespace '354>', key '3' setup > error in line 15, namespace '354>', key '4' setup > error in line 18, namespace '354>', key '5' setup > error in line 21, namespace '354>', key '6' setup > error in line 24, namespace '354>', key '7' setup > error in line 27, namespace '354>', key '8' [..] and empty TABLE cells. Any help welcome. Peter

> Can you be more concrete in which way titles should be indented. Just like the attached image, I have marked the indentation with a black-filled rectangle and have circulated the indented title "Defensives Entscheiden" with red marker. Huseyin
