please fix command reference links on contextgarden
by Philipp A. 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

it does *still* not work. the fuction is defined as such: function show_command(URL) { open_window().location.href='http://texshow.contextgarden.net/cmd/' + URL; } and thus redirects to some url under http://texshow.contextgarden.net/. but no matter what that url is, the subdomain always redirects to the url http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Reference/en (no, not http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Reference/en/TheCommandName!) please fix it, whoeveer runs texshow.contextgarden.net

arbitrary tex-code in xml?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi all, must be the heat here in Germany - I'm all out of ideas, and I have no example yet. Maybe someone can help: is it possible to define an xml setup that will run arbitrary tex code? Something like this (obviously pseudo-code): in a TeX file MyInputs.tex which will be loaded at runtime, I have: \startTEXbuffer[mybuffer] \color[red]{Hello World!} \stopTEXbuffer in the xml, I have <gettexbuffer>mybuffer</gettexbuffer> and in the setups \input MyInputs \startxmlsetups xml:gettexbuffer \getTEXbuffer[\xmlflush{#1}] \stopxmlsetups I tried with simple \startbuffer[mybuffer] ... \getbuffer[mybuffer], but the result is that the TeX code is typeset verbatim, not processed (problem of catcodes?). Any takers before I pull myself together and try to come up with an example? Thanks! Thomas

buffer names in MKII
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Dear Hans, something broke backward compatibility in MKII. When using buffers like in \startbuffer[buffername] hello world \stopbuffer the code now creates buffername.tmp instead of \jobname-buffername.tmp. This breaks the gnuplot module in weird ways. I can probably fix it in one way or another, but I'm not sure why the behaviour would change. To fix the vim module? :) :) :) OK, I need to take some time and try to use Aditya's code in the background anyway, but I still wonder if the change was intentional or not. Thanks, Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] Itemize right-aligned
by Wolfgang Schuster 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi, is it possible to "right-align" enumerations? Giving something like the following This is the first item * A somewhat longer second item * A short third item * Thanks Erik No but you can use descriptions to get this output: \definedescription [myitem] [location=right, align=flushright, width=2em, distance=1em, headalign=middle, text={\symbol[bullet]}] \starttext \input ward \startmyitem \input ward \stopmyitem \startmyitem \input ward \stopmyitem \input ward \stoptext Wolfgang

Two rotates on the same line
by Cecil Westerhof 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I am still expanding my knowledge of ConTeXt. At the moment I am playing with \rotate. When using: \rotate[rotation=42]{Tekst kan ook worden geroteerd.} \rotate[rotation=-42]{In elke richting die je maar wilt.} This is displayed as: / \ I would like it displayed as: /\ How can I do that? -- Cecil Westerhof

Definition of lualetterbackslash
by Aditya Mahajan 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi Consider the following example: \startluacode print("lualetterbackslash:", [=[\\include]=]) \stopluacode \def\lualetterbackslash{\letterbackslash} \startluacode print("letterbackslash:", [=[\\include]=]) \stopluacode \bye gives lualetterbackslash: \\include letterbackslash: \include I find the second alternative better. Why is \lualetterbackslash defined differently from \letterbackslash? Aditya

Process remaining floats
by Aditya Mahajan 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Hi, Is there a command that will flush all unprocessed floats. For example, consider the following: %-------- text 1 \placefigure[fig:1]{...}{...} \FLUSHALLFLOATS text 2 %----------- I don't want text 2 to be placed unless fig:1 has been processed (even if it means an under filled page). Thanks, Aditya

How to typeset ellipsis (=three dots)?
by Marcin Borkowski 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi, I looked into the \dots macro: I can see how it works in math mode, but in text mode it puts a thin space (\,) after the dots. So what is the right way to type, say, this sentence: "I like ConTeXt... but the learning curve is steep!" A. I like \CONTEXT\dots but the learning curve is steep! or B. I like \CONTEXT\dots\ but the learning curve is steep! ? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski
