calculating with dimension unit
by Jan Heinen 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

In a book I produced with ConTeXt last year, I did a lot of calculation to be able to change the layout dynamicaly. With the actual version of ConTeXt I can't compile the book. I have tried a lot of things today ... without success. I hope my minimal-example helps you to understand, what I want to do - and what I am doing wrong: \starttext \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] \defineexpandable\ColumnA {30mm} \defineexpandable\ColumnB {40mm} \defineexpandable\ColumnABi {\dimexpr(\ColumnA + \ColumnB)} \defineexpandable\ColumnABii {\ctxlua{context(\ColumnA + \ColumnB)}} \newdimen\ColumnABiii \ColumnABiii = \dimexpr(\ColumnA + \ColumnB) A \ColumnA% ok B \ColumnB% ok % I sadly get only errors when I delete the comments: %ColumnABi: \ColumnABi %ColumnABii: \ColumnABii %ColumnABiii: \ColumnABiii %\externalfigure[cow][width=\ColumnABiii] ~ \page \stoptext

>> Is it possible to instal and runl ConText on webspace? >> Which requirements and limitations are needed? > define webspace I have webspace hosted at the german provider (1und1) where my homepage is running. It contains php, perl, python, mysqld. I have access via - ssh - ftp It's NOT a managed server - there are lot's of other customers on the same server. Is this enough for your answer or which else information do you need? Regards Janis

csname not applicable?

Why doesn't it seem possible to have the following macro \def\docall#1{\csname xmlprocess#1\encsname{}{}} and use it with \docall{buffer}? How then accomplish this? Runaway argument? \def \sourcenode {exam::15}\edef \currentsource {\xmlattdef {exam::15\ETC. !

select setups
by Meer, H. van der 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

If I have various setups like: \startxmlsetups xam:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{..{xam:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xam:setups} \startxmlsetups xbm:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{..{xbm:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xbm:setups} Is it then possible to have \xmlall{#1}{lpath} with a path such that on the top level restrictions apply to some of the xam:setups but to none of the xbm:setups?

xml path
by Meer, H. van der 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Having for example xml-structure: <rootnode> <node1><subnode1>..</subnode1></node1> <node2/> /node3/> </rootnode> With the path expression \xmlall{#1}{!node1} the <node1> should be suppressed, as happens in case. However, nodes under <node1> like <subnode1> should be suppressed because <node1> is suppressed. But that is not the case, these nodes do appear. Apparently I need another path expression. But which one? Hans van der Meer

rotated placetable
by Alan BRASLAU 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hello, On October 1, 2010 Mojca asked about inserting a rotated page content (landscape) in an otherwise portrait document, keeping the headers and footers upright. The suggested solution was essentially \rotate [rotation=90] {\startTEXpage [width=\textheight,height=\textwidth] ... \stopTEXpage} I would like to place a wide table rotated as above, keeping the page headers and footers upright. In other words, I would like to do something like \startplacetable [location=page,orientation=90,title=Table caption] ... \stopplacetable That is, rotate the table contents *and its caption*, but not the page header and footer. Note that the following will indeed rotate the contents but not the caption. \startplacetable [title=Table caption] \rotate [rotation=90] {\startTEXpage ... \stopTEXpage} \stopplacetable Alan

Kile for ConTeXt
by Jan Heinen 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Does anyone here uses Kile for ConTeXt? On contextgarden-wiki I read "has native ConTeXt support as well". I installed Kile and as the only thing concerning ConTeXt II found Build -> Compile -> ConTeXt But no highlighting or autocompletion. Google gave no answer. Do I have to install an additional aplugin? Regards Janis

stoppers in section heading without having stoppers in references?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

In MkIV, is there a way to get a stopper (e.g. ".") in the section heading, along the lines of "1. First heading" but without a reference to it having the stopper? Thus, the reference should be just "In Chapter 1 we learn", not "In Chapter 1. we learn"? I have tried many variants of the following minimal example: \setuphead[chapter][sectionstopper=.] \definereferenceformat [inchapter] [text={Chapter~}] \starttext \chapter[one]{First heading} \input knuth \inchapter[one] we learn. \stoptext -Sanjoy

In last year Context this worked: >> \define\imagepath {/home/janis/images} >> \externalfigure[\imagepath/test.jpg] Now this change is necesarry: > \defineexpandble\imagepath {/home/janis/images} Where do the change come from: Context, Tex or Luatex? Is there a genereal change which we have to take care off? Last year I made a book with a lot of programming in Context and I would like to use the code for the next book. Regards Janis
