setuppagenumber--start at page xy
by Jörg Hagmann 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Has the code for starting pagenumbering at a given number changed? I'm using last year's template for an annual report, but can't get it to work. Minimal example: \setuppagenumber[number=3] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext I'm using today's context version.

Defined and not defined and better be done global
by Cecil Westerhof 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

When running ConTeXt I see a lot of this kind of messages: fonts > bodyfont 15pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is not defined fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 15pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is not defined fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 15pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is not defined What am I doing wrong? -- Cecil Westerhof

Supressing a heading from the table of contents
by Lance Larsen 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Can anyone tell me how to suppress individual numbered chapter/section/subsection/etc. from the table of contents? Also how do you set the last heading level included in the table of contents. I think I came across this, but am having trouble finding it again. Lance Larsen

Why does startlines not work in a function
by Cecil Westerhof 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I have the following code: \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines I wanted to put this in a function. So I wrote: \def\Foo{ \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines } But then the text becomes one line instead of several lines. So I had to rewrite it to: \def\FooTwo{ \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment } I called it first Foo2, but that worked havoc on Foo. -- Cecil Westerhof

I am using a command line parameter to change the generated output. Is it also possible to set the output file name depending on the parameter? -- Cecil Westerhof

How to know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter?
by Tim Li 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Sometimes, it is convenient if I know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter. when desinging a book, we make a new chapter open at a right page and design the header to show the chapter title and pagenumber. We have to set the pagenumber at the page where a chapter title is located. \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}]\setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart] if this book consists of a frontmatter and a backmatter, I have to set the text for the titles in frontmatter and chapters in bodymatter like this, for roman pagenumber in frontmatter. \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \definetext [titlestart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\romannumerals\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [title] [footer=titlestart]\stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart]\stopsectionblockenvironment so, is there a command to make me know if I am in frontmatter or bodymatter? if so, I can use only one command to achieve that setup \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\ifinfrontmatter ... \else ... \fi\hfill}] regards, Tim

That works. In my case I use a \doif. Is there also something like a switch statement? If not I could use a nested \doifelse. -- Cecil Westerhof -- Cecil Westerhof

Cumulating numbered lists
by Alan Bowen 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I need a list structure that can be numbered in different ways as the occasion warrants. In this case, I need: 1. text 2. text 2.1. text 2.2. text Text Text A. text B. text The problem seem to be in turning off the cumulation of numbers in the last entries (fourth level). \defineitemgroup[MyList] \setupitemgroup[MyList][1][broad,joinedup,packed,autointro] [itemalign=flushright,left={},right={},stopper={.},margin=3pc] \setupitemgroup[MyList][2][broad,joinedup,packed,autointro] [itemalign=flushright,left={},right={},stopper={.}] \setupitemgroup[MyList][3][broad,joinedup,packed,autointro] [itemalign=flushright,left={},right={},stopper={.}] \setupitemgroup[MyList][4][broad,joinedup,packed,autointro] [itemalign=flushright,left={},right={},stopper={.}] \starttext \startMyList[n,repeat] \item First level text \item First level text \startMyList[n,repeat] \item Second level text \item Second level text \startMyList[symbol={}] \item Third level text \item Third level text \startMyList[A] %<===== % \startMyList[A,prefix=no] %<===== \item Fourth level text \item Fourth level text \stopitemize \stopitemize \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext With \startMyList[A], I get 2.2.2.A. Fourth level text 2.2.2.B. Fourth level text With \startMyList[A,prefix=no], I get ▷ Fourth level text on each line. Any suggestions or pointers will be gratefully received. Alan

Heading in setuplayout from a variable
by Cecil Westerhof 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

It is a long time since I used ConTeXt. I am starting again. I have the following code: \setvariables[meta][type=cecil] \if\getvariable{meta}{type}=cecil \setvariables[meta][ name={Cecil Westerhof}, ] \setvariables[layout][ header=0mm, ] \fi But that does not work. For the conditional I also tried: \ifx\getvariable{meta}{type}\cecil But that does not work either. What is the correct way to define the comparison? -- Cecil Westerhof
