Wrong float numbering with default=top
by Marco Patzer 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi, The setting \setupfloat [figure] [default=top] not only places the figures at the top of the page, but also messes up the float numbering (the float placement is fine). In the following example “Figure 2” comes after “Figure 3”. How to fix that? \useMPlibrary [dum] \setupfloat [figure] [default=top] \starttext \input knuth \startplacefigure \externalfigure [dummy] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \externalfigure [dummy] [width=10cm, height=16cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \externalfigure [dummy] \stopplacefigure \stoptext Marco

Hi Philipp, thanks alot! It works, one question left: What is the --silent flag, what is its effect, I tried it but could not see the difference. Thanks alot again, very kindly :) Best Regards Huseyin

one small remark and one broad question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, small remark first: archive.contextgarden.net has been down for a few days now; I suppose because of the new server? And now for the overly broad question: I'm embarking on what could become a long project. One part of it is typesetting a book (with many graphics). On the one hand, it would be wonderful to use the project structure and break it down into several components to make things manageable. On the other hand, it would be great to code in xml (because I might want to publish this as a website too). can these things be combined? Does the xml engine handle xinclude (or could this be added to it)? Or would another approach be better? Thanks for your insights! All best Thomas

Transparency without colors.
by Andre Caldas 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello! In my "simplesteps" module, I'd like to adjust the transparency of the foreground color. The file tex/context/base/colo-ini.mkiv suggests that there is a way to do that: % Currently in mkiv transparency is implemented independent of color. This costs % a bit more processing time but gives the possibility to apply transparency % independently in the future. Is this useful? If not we may as well combine them % again in the future. By coupling we are downward compatible. When we decouple we [...] How can I define the transparency of some text? André Caldas.

Module for Commutative Diagrams.
by Andre Caldas 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello! Some days ago, I have written a module for writing "commutative diagrams" using MetaPost. Definition of "commutative diagrams": https://duckduckgo.com/?q=commutative+diagrams The module lives here, now: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/context-commutativediagrams The module still needs a lot of working... but for very, very simple diagrams, it works! At least for me... =o) Comments are very welcome, André Caldas. PS: I have to submit the final version of my doctoral thesis just before the end of the world (20/12/2012). For that reason I have not worked on the simplesteps module... but I'd like to thank all the support given in my last thread.

DocBook
by Roger Mason 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello all, I have a manuscript to review that I have managed to coerce into DocBook xml. I'd like to turn it into context so that I can mark it up in a comfortable environment. I just tried Simon Pepping's DocBookInContext package from 2003, but it fails on the provided test document: ! Undefined control sequence. l.968 \stelsectiein pandoc is not an option for me at the moment: I am currently using Arch Linux and have not been able to get their Haskell installation to finish successfully. Thanks for any ideas. Roger This electronic communication is governed by the terms and conditions at http://www.mun.ca/cc/policies/electronic_communications_disclaimer_2012.php

framed algorithm / float: problems with line break
by Andreas Mang 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Dear all, Quick access: there is no line break in case algorithmic is used together with framed as a float. I'd like to put some pseudocode in my document. I've used the algorithmic module. Since I'd like to refer to the algorithm in the text, I've defined a float environment. However, putting the pseudocode into my document, I've realised that it does not really stand out from the text. My first idea was to put some box around it. In the garden I've found some example for using framed together with floats: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Framed However, this screws up the line break in the algorithmic environment. I could define manually the size of the box, but I think there might be better solutions. Any ideas or better ways for achieving this or a similar behaviour?! Thanks in advance.

Centered multiline chapter title
by hanak＠wpb.cz 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello, I need to format my chapters in the following way: - The chapters are centered (midaligned). - Some chapters are long, so they have to be multilined. - The chapter title should be in capital letters, but in the header should it be without capitalisation. - When the chapter title is multilined, only the first line should appear in the header, followed by "...", the same in TOC - When the chapter title is multilined, I want to choose the point of line break with "\\" So something like this: \chapter{FIRST CHAPTER TITLE} (in the header and TOC will be "First chapter title") \chapter{SECOND CHAPTER TITLE \\ WHICH IS VERY VERY VERY LONG} (in the header and TOC will be "Second chapter title...") I tried the following setup for the chapter: \setuphead [chapter] [after={\blank[2*line,fixed]}, header=empty, textcommand=\midaligned, style={\chapterfont\WORD}, sectionset=none, indentnext=no ] But when I try to process the file, I will get the following error: structure > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> Second chapter title \\ which is very very very looong ! Missing } inserted. system > tex > error on line 1 in file test.tex: Missing ... 1 >> \environment test_environment 2 3 \startcomponent test19 4 5 \product test 6 7 8 \chapter{Second chapter title \\ which is very very very looong} 9 <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \\->\endgroup \par \doalignline {\hss }{\hss }\begingroup l.1 Second chapter title \\ which is very very very looong \ctxcommand ...\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1} \getheadtitle ...lecommand \relax \structuretitle \else \normalexpanded {\no... ... l.10 ...r title \\ which is very very very looong} If I don't try to enforce line break in the title with "\\", the file is processed without problem, but also without making anyline break at all -- the whole long chapter title is one very long line. If I don't use "textcommand=\midaligned", I am able to make multiline chapter with my own line break, but the title is left-aligned... Could anybody tell me, how to make properly the chapter setup according to above described rules? Thank you in advance. Pavel

Whitespace and quotechar in database module
by Marco Patzer 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hi, the following two database examples produce different output due to the white space between the field separator and the quotechar. \usemodule [database] \defineseparatedlist [CSV] [quotechar=", before={\starttabulate[|l|l|]}, after=\stoptabulate, first=\NC,last=\NR, left=,right=\NC] \starttext \startCSV alpha, loremloremlorem beta,"ipsum, ipsum, ipsum" \stopCSV \startCSV alpha, loremloremlorem beta, "ipsum, ipsum, ipsum" \stopCSV \stoptext Can the parser be made tolerant to this space?
