Line spacing with a large font?
by Alasdair McAndrew 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

The title page of a book of notes contains {\tfe This is the title of my book} where I have previously defined \definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt][rm][tfe=Bold at 32pt] However, the title is long and is broken into two lines, which are squashed together vertically. How can I ensure that \tfe uses more interline space? Thanks, Alasdair

Galleries with photos from ConTeXt meetings: any ideas?
by Mojca Miklavec 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hello, we currently have two old galleries on contextgarden.net (both hidden, no links to them and both password protected). We have additional galleries on Facebook (accessible to a rather wide audience). And dozens of other photos that have never been uploaded anywhere. And some galleries spread all over the place. I have a few questions: - Should photos from meetings be private or public? (The ones from BachoTeX are public for example.) - In either case I need suggestions about the best option to store photos on new server. (Which software to run?) Mojca

Wrong reference number
by Andreas Harder 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi all, I'm not sure if this was introduced with the latest beta, but I just realized that the referencing numbers not right. \starttext \chapter{First} \in{Figure}[fig:a] % should be 1.1 \placefigure[here][fig:a]{}{} \in{Figure}[fig:b] % should be 1.2 \placefigure[here][fig:b]{}{} \stoptext Regards Andreas

Some more ToC questions
by Alasdair McAndrew 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Thanks to the great expertise of folk on this mailgroup, I have my chapter headings set so that each one comes out as Chapter n Name of Chapter However, I have a few more questions. First: if I use "completecontent" to display the contents, how can I have the "Contents" title display without my "Chapter" line? That is, is there a way of turning off my chapter command temporarily? (I've found that "title" doesn't work here: If I use "\title{Contents} \placecontent" I still get a "Chapter" line.) Second: I'm writing out a book of student notes, and each chapter ends with a set of exercises. I'd like these exercises to be typeset as unnumbered sections ("subject"s), and appear so in the ToC. Like: 4.4 Second last section 4.5 Last section Exercises What is the best way of doing this (MkII)? I've tried \definehead[exercise][section] \setuphead[exercise][number=no] \setuplist[exercise][headnumber=no] but that doesn't work on its own, and when paired with \definecombinedlist[content][exercise,chapter,section] wipes out the contents completely. Any advice (or even pointers to a web page) would be most welcome. Thanks, Alasdair

Learning layers: setlayer vs. setlayerframed
by Mari Voipio 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hello! Based on a discussion with Hans at the ConTeXt meeting I'm starting to migrate my book covers from CorelDraw to ConTeXt using layers. After a bit of experimenting I managed to achieve my first layer, but looking at the examples on the wiki page, I'm wondering: what's the difference between \setlayer and \setlayerframed. Is the latter a subset of the first and possibly equal to \setlayer [name] % name of the layer {\framed[...=...,...=...]{LAYER}} % the actual contents of the layer or something else? And which one should I use, anyway? I need to put a bit of text and a bit of graphics onto the pages, but nothing complicated, just "boxes". But as I'm starting from zero, it would be nice to know what's the smartest way of doing it (on the moment). I'm running the newest or at least almost newest beta of ConTeXt and can update if needed. Thanks, Mari

tilde
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hallo, if I want a non-breaking-space I use a tilde '~' sign. For example in: bakerstreet~13 This has worked in my old context. But now, after my update, I get an very long space. Minimal example: \starttext \framed[align=flushright,width=broad]{Hello~World!} \stoptext Is this a bug? What else kann I use for a non-breaking-space? Wolfgang

How do I test for empty labeltext?
by Mojca Miklavec 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hello, The following code \setuplabeltext[test=] test is \doifemptyelse{\labeltext{test}}{empty}{not empty} doesn't work as intended for the reasons that I approximately understand (not exactly, but I understand that there might be a lot of weird stuff returned when I ask for labeltext). However I have no idea how to check if text is empty or not. As an exception :) :) :), MKIV hints should be highly appreciated and enough for this particular application. Mojca PS: the extended example looks approximately as follows: \def\document#1#2{ \setuplabeltext[name={{#1}},company={{#2}}] \startstandardmakeup \setups{content} \setups{decoration} \stopstandardmakeup } \startsetups content This is for \labeltext{name}% \doifemptyelse{\labeltext{company}}{.}{, working for \labeltext{company}.} \stopsetups I have no problem changing the complete code and I can already find a workaround by defining some new "if" inside definition of \document, but I'm still slightly curious to know how to test for existence of a label. The sources contain definelabels("setuplabeltext", data.texts, true) and it is not too clear to me how to decrypt the rest with too much pain.

xml and lpath
by Martin Fechner 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hi all, I'm testing the possibilities of xml and ConTeXt. I was wondering if it is possible to make an extra setup for every text-element. So it would be possible to have an setup in a very flexible way. It should be something like this: \startbuffer[text] <a> <b> First text. <hiding type="begin"/> Second text. </b> Third text. <hiding type="end"/> Fourth text. </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:textsetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{a|b}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{hiding[type='begin']}{xml:hiding:begin} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{hiding[type='end'}{xml:hiding:end} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{text()}{xml:text} % Something like this is needed \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:b \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:hiding:begin \enablemode[hiding] \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:hiding:end \disablemode[hiding] \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:text \startnotmode[hiding] \xmlflush{#1} \crlf \stopnotmode \stopxmlsetups So that the result will be: First text. Fourth text. Is something like this possible or is there still another way? Best regards, Martin

Luatex question
by Lutz Haseloff 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hi all, some months ago I printed the name of the current font with following code: \starttext The current font is: \ctxlua{tex.print(font.getfont(font.current()).fullname)}. \stoptext Now I get an error message: ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: no string to print stack traceback: [C]: in function 'print' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. l.2 ...int(font.getfont(font.current()).fullname)} . ? What is the right way now? (didn't find any news in functionref.pdf or luatexref-t.pdf) Greetings Lutz
