trailing spaces in macro argument
by Daniel Schopper 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Dear list, could anyone be so kind to explain to me why in the following MWE the trailing space are missing in the output of the \test-macro? I’m kind of puzzled as I supposed it wouldn’t be possible for \stopline to influence the behaviour of its preceding tokens. apologies for what's probably a most straight-forward question to many of you… \def\test#1{% \startline[line:0]% \pagereference[page:0]% {#1}% \stopline[line:0]%D commenting this out makes the trailing spaces in the argument appear as expected. } \starttext \startlinenumbering One \test{ two three }four \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Thanks! Daniel

Single page in landscape?
by Alasdair McAndrew 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

I'm sure this is a FAQ, but I can't find an answer which works. I have a document in portrait mode (A4), with one wide diagram - a Gantt chart, created with the gantt-tikz module, and which I'd like on a landscape page of its own. What's the easiest way to do this? I can do it by simply putting the chart on a page of its own and rotating it, but this is a bit of an ad-hoc solution. Thanks, Alasdair

Only show section numbering for \chapter?
by Khaled Hosny 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello all, I'm trying to only show section numbering for chapter, both in the section head and content list. I tried several combinations of number=yes|no, sectionnumber=yes|no but I either get numbering for all or none. I tried using \title and \subject by they don't show in the content list. I ended up using hacks like numbercomman=\dummy, and defining \def\dummy#1{}, but I'm trying to find if there is a cleaner solution. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab

I'm curious, what is "markdown" and why one ever needs to print it? ;) -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi! I just noticed that --extras tag was replaced with --modules. This leads to changes in my Windows installer code. BTW, does anyone uses my installer? I have got no suggestions or feedback yet. ;) -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

markdown
by Hans Hagen 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hi, As it happened that I needed to print a readme.markdown file, the new beta now has a new extra: context --extra=markdown readme.markdown For some options see: context --extra=markdown --help It will never look real good, but it's better than printing verbatim.

Weirdness with the names of files processed
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello ConTeXist I met with great strangeness. When I was looking for a mistake in my source text, so I experimented and at one point I renamed myfile so that there are "+" in its name. At that moment compilation ran flawlessly. I know that the use of + in the filename is relatively non-standard, but even so I was surprised Now everything works fine, but I decided to send it as a curiosity rather than to be annoyed by someone. It's really strange and it took me a long time before I discovered the cause of the collapse of the compilation. Unfortunately I am unable to put together a minimal example, which worked, but it is interesting, that compilation will be OK in two cases: 1. when I rename the file to name without "+" or 2. when images are not to be found (for example when I comment the line which contain \setupexternalfigures[directory={flags/}]) Conversely, if "+" is part of the filename, while images are found, the compilation will collapse and prints a message that I mention below. I present here an minimal example (with message list), BUT THAT WILL NOT WORK because they do not have my library, but although the problem probably caused by my library, so it probably is not very important at this point because the problem is maybe a bit wider. Best regards Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example. When the file called "list-aaa.tex" so everything is OK. When the file named "list+aaa.tex" and pictures are found, the compilation fails: \usemodule[../../t-scancsv.mkiv/t-scancsv] \setupexternalfigures[directory={flags/}] \def\flagpicture{\externalfigure[\Flag.png]} %\Flag macro is defined by my library \unexpanded\def\tableaction{\expanded{\bTR\bTD\ \flagpicture\eTD\eTR}} \starttext \setheader \setsep{,} \setfiletoscan{lide.csv} \bTABLE \doloopif{\Flag}{~=}{en}{\tableaction} \eTABLE \stoptext And here is message of compilation list: C:\1da\ConTeXt-MkIV\t-scancsv.mkiv\CTMagenda>context --autopdf list+aaa mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/formats/cont-en" --lua="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "./list+aaa" \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011061421 (rev 4277) \write18 enabled.

solved-how to make "\getmarking[title]" show using default font size?
by Jeong Dalyoung 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Dear all, For the header text, I used \getmarking as follows: \setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[{\v!title}]}] ***** This problem comes from my setting which is as follows: \title{\ss\bf\tfb Title} I changed it by using the definition as follows: \def\Mytitle#1{% \framedtext [width=\overlaywidth, height=5\bodyfontsize, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, offset=2pt, strut=no, frame=off, align=middle, top=\vss, bottom=\vss]{ \sans #1} } \setuphead[title][textcommand=\Mytitle] This makes everything fine. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung
