vertical alignment in TOC
by Thomas A. Schmitz 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hi all, for an edited volume, entries in the TOC have two lines, title, then author. Is is possible to have the page number aligned to the title, i.e. the first of these lines? Example: \setuphead[chapter] [number=no] \setuplist[chapter] [width=0cm] \starttext \startchapter[title=One,list={A Title \crlf An Author}] \input knuth \stopchapter \page \placelist[chapter][criterium=text] \stoptext Thanks! Thomas

highlighting aligned formulas
by Andreas Richter 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello, Is it possible (using ConTeXt MKII) to put a frame (and/or other highlighters) around an aligned multiline formula, and also around a single line of this equation array? (The equation number should align correctly outside the frame.) \mframed within an alignment seems to refuse the job. Digging the mailinglist brought up a 2006 hint of Hans referring to a \definealigned command which I also could not bring into action. Thanks, Andreas ps Asking as a new user it may be naive, but I still didn't figure out how to uncomment multiple lines (for debugging).

OT: Pdf info
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello, this question in not straightly related to Context, but Context users may have solved it and Ctx may be used to solve it. I would need to get the following information from .pdf file(s): - number of pages, - common width and height of pages (provided that they are the same; otherwise the dimension can be e.g. zero). The final goal is to use Ctx as a .pdf joining engine - to provide this, I need to know whether the .pdf to be inserted is portrait or landscape oriented, what is its size (so if to be scaled or not) etc. So Lua inside Ctx may be used to get the required .pdf info, if necessary. If an external program was used, it should be non-interactive (command-line oriented), free and working under Windows. Does anyone have any experience with such a task? Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

How well do ConTeXt (lua)module for other users?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello ConTeXist. I have done the module (for context), which is entirely written in Lua (ConTeXt definitions are done through Lua too). I wonder how it can be loaded into ConTeXt file. Have I to use the beginning of the file: \startluacode dofile ("my-module.lua") \stopluacode to loading the module? I would like to use \usemodule [my-module.lua], but there is a problem, that code must be inside \startluacode ... \stopluacode environment. But when I put my luacode into \startluacode ... \stopluacode into my-module.mkiv file, then I have a problem with catcodes inside strings defining by [[ ... ]]. Or must be module consists of two separate files (my-module.lua and my-module.mkiv)? Must I to load the Lua module file (my-module.lua) into ConTeXt module file (my-module.mkiv) by command \ctxlua{dofile("my-module.lua ");} and then load module file (my-module.mkiv) into my user file by command \usemodule[my-module]? Is there something like \useluamodule[....] or \usemodule[anyluaswitch][modulefile] ??? How to proceed in these cases? I find it inappropriate to divide the module into two separate files. Thanx Jaroslav

Changing width of division lines in tables?
by Alasdair McAndrew 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello there, In the table environment, \HL and \VL have an optional parameter by which you can change their width: \HL[3], \VL[4] for example. However, for a division line \DL, the optional parameter gives the number of columns it spans. How can I change the width of a given division line? Thanks, Alasdair -- Blog: http://amca01.wordpress.com Web: http://bit.ly/Alasdair Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alasdair.mcandrew

Hi, if one uses \automigrateinsers footnotes in captions will be eaten. \automigrateinserts % kill footnotes in captions! \starttext \in{Footnote}[foot:a] \par \in{Footnote}[foot:b] \par \in{Footnote}[foot:c] \placefigure[here] [pic:ref:h]{test\footnote[foot:a]{a footnote}}{} \placefigure[top] [pic:ref:t]{test\footnote[foot:b]{a footnote}}{} \placefigure[bottom][pic:ref:b]{test\footnote[foot:c]{a footnote}}{} \in{Footnote}[foot:a] \par \in{Footnote}[foot:b] \par \in{Footnote}[foot:c] \stoptext Greeting Andreas

Use of \hairline in the header
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I have the following document: \setupheader[ after={\startalignment[center]\hairline\stopalignment}, style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}, ] \setuplayout[ footer=0mm, header=10mm, ] \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[Documentation for product XYZ –concept–] [version: 2001-07-19] \starttext Just some text to fill the document. \stoptext I would expect the hairline to be at the same place as the text of the document, but instead it is completely left aligned. What am I doing wrong? -- Cecil Westerhof

\start/stopTEXpage resets page layout?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hello, let's have the following code: ---- \setuplayout[page] \starttext AAA \page \copypages[cow.pdf] BBB \startTEXpage \externalfigure[cow] \stopTEXpage \page CCC \stoptext ---- Texts "AAA" and "BBB" are written from the strict left top corner of the page - page has no header nor backspace. So does the "cow" - it fills one page perfectly. That's OK. But when the text "CCC" is typeset, it seems a "default" layout is restored - see the space up and left, also the header appears; that's unwanted. What is the "trick" to prevent page layout from being modified by \start/stopTEXpage? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

\copypages[file#.pdf]
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hello, this kind of question was discussed once - how to include '#' character to the file name so that \copypages take it? Something like: \copypages[TZ#001.pdf] e.g. by \copypages[\MAKETEXT{TZ#001.pdf}] There was discussion about other "not-so-frequent" chars as well - ! # $ % @ ^ & _ - any evolution?

ConTeXt -> LaTeXt -> ODT?
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

I another thread I talked about my problems with converting my ConTeXt file to an editable format. In principal going the xhtml way seemed best. But yesterday I got talking with someone in the train. He told me that it was possible to convert ConTeXt to LaTeXt and LaTeXt to an ODT file. This could solve my problem. Was this person correct? If yes, how would I do this? -- Cecil Westerhof
