inner/outer margin: confused width
by Peter Schorsch 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, the width of my inner and outer margin are different and the pagelayout is double sided. When I use \ininner and \inouter directly, always the correct width is used. But as soon I put it into a function the wrong margin width is often used. I attached two files: - simple example tex file - the pdf output of that example file In the example pdf you can see starting from page five the mixed up result. Is there something I do wrong with the double sided mode? Or is this an issue how the function is written? Thanks in advance! P.

Fw: A question about layers

And the second message accidentally sent to Hans: Dnia 2011-07-14, czw o godzinie 16:29 +0200, Hans Hagen pisze: > On 14-7-2011 4:25, Marcin Borkowski wrote: > > OK, > > > > after a pm from Mojca concerning my previous question I decided to > > look into the "layers" mechanism. > > > > It won't work for me - just nothing shows up. > > > > What am I doing wrong? > > > > Here's a minimal example: > > > > \starttext > > \definelayer[title][x=105mm,y=20mm] > > \setlayer[title]{This is the title.} > > \stoptext > > > > (I'd also like to be able to "anchor" the title so that > > (105mm,20mm) are the coordinates of the center, not the lower-left > > corner etc. How to do that?) > > \flushlayer[title] > > etc (some styles in the distributions have examples) I think that the general problem is that I have a wrong conceptual model of layers in ConTeXt. You know, when I hear the word "layer", I have some ideas about how it should/could/might work, and probably these ideas are different than Hans'. So I'm going to briefly describe my idea (already modified by the answers) and please tell me what's wrong with it. So I imagine that \definelayer / \setuplayer defines a rectangular shape on the page, possibly framed/colored/etc., which is going to appear on all pages (default) or on selected ones. The contents of layers are set with \setlayer, (with some - mysterious for me - "setups" trickery if they are going to change from page to page), and they are actually put on the page by \setupbackgrounds. (And I have no idea what \flushlayer does in this conceptual framework.) So layers are actually kind of "beneath" ordinary page contents. Some of these commands (which ones?) should moreover be placed before \startext. OK, so where am I right and where am I wrong now? -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl -- Marcin Borkowski

right and left alignment in header w/ linebreak sign
by Peter Schorsch 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I am trying to have the header text aligned at the outer border of margin. At the moment I have \setupheadertexts[margin][][\rightaligned{\CurrentChapter}][\leftaligned{\CurrentChapter}][] and in the text \chapter{A very, very long long heading} and it works like I expect it. But as soon I have a linebreak in the heading (via \\) I get following error message: structure > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> A very,\\very long long title ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. system > tex > error on line 1 in file context-test-struktur3.tex: Extra }, or forgotten ... As soon I remove the alignment in the header also the chapter with the linebreak sign works - but of course I get then a wrong alignment. How can I make that the header works with the correct alignment and linebreaks in the heading? (header should be still without linebreaks) Thanks in advance! Complete example: -------------8<---------------------------- % define margins \definelayout[WithMarginnotes][location={duplex},grid=no,topspace=3cm,height=24cm,backspace=3cm,cutspace=0cm,leftmargin=1cm,leftmargindistance=0.4cm,width=12.1cm,rightmargindistance=0.4cm,rightmargin=3.5cm] \setuplayout[WithMarginnotes] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=] \showframe % define header \define\CurrentChapter% {\doiftextelse {\getmarking[chapternumber]}% {\getmarking[chapternumber].~\getmarking[chapter]}% {\getmarking[chapter]}% } \setupheadertexts[margin][][\rightaligned{\CurrentChapter}][\leftaligned{\CurrentChapter}][]% % \starttext \completecontent[criterium=all] \chapter{A very,\\very long long heading} \chapter{A very, very long long heading} \chapter{End} \stoptext

Heading with linebreaks in pdf bookmarks: linebreak sign stays
by Peter Schorsch 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, as soon I have a linebreak inside a heading via \\ I get this \\ also in the text of that heading in the pdf-bookmarks: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter,section] \starttext \completecontent[criterium=all] \chapter{A very,\\very long long title} \chapter{A very, very long long title} \stoptext What did I forgot to get rid of the linebreak sign in the pdf bookmarks?

Re: [NTG-context] about suppressing prefix in section number

Dear Wolfgang, > \setupitemgroup[ltxitm][3][circlednumber,packed][stopper=] It is working. It depends on the fonts. Also, \def\circlednum#1{\uchar{36}{95+#1}} \defineconversion[cnum][\circlednum] \defineitemgroup[txitm][levels=5] % \setupitemgroup[txitm][1][R] \setupitemgroup[txitm][2][a] \setupitemgroup[txitm][3][cnum,packed][stopper=] is working too. Thank you so much. Best regards, Dalyoung

Finding values of the context macros inside Lua functions (=expansion inside Lua functions?)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hello all, For several hours trying to find solutions of problem. My minimal example (I mention it at the end of email) for clear reasons show, that : 7 is not number. 7 is number. 7is not number. 7is not number. In the first is argument '\value' negotiable to the value, in second it is not possible (but for clear reasons too). I would need to find from argument ie macro '\\value' in the LUA function its numerical value. Is there any function that would do that? I need something as a function of context (...), which would, however, its output is not located into ConTeXt, but its result get to back to a Lua function or into variable. It is something like the expansion of an existing ConTeXt macro to its value. Thanx Jaroslav Here is my minimal example: \startluacode function test(arg) if type(arg)=='number' then context(arg.." is number.\\par ") else context(arg.." is not number.\\par") end if type(tonumber(arg))=='number' then context(arg.." is number.\\par ") else context(arg.." is not number.\\par") end end \stopluacode \starttext \def\value{7} \ctxlua{test('\value');} \blank[big] \ctxlua{test('\\value');} \stoptext

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the solutions. But for the question 2, I didn't explain well what I want to. Actually, the codes >> >> \def\circlednum#1{\uchar{36}{95+#1}} >> \defineconversion[cnum][\circlednum] > working well by saying that \startitemize[cnum][stopper=] ... And, your suggested method works well, too. My question is that is it able to define new itemize header, for example, circled number using \defineitemgroup so that I got circled number in the 3rd level automatically without saying that \startitemize[cnum]. In the wiki, \defineitemgroup[ltxitm][levels=5] % \setupitemgroup[ltxitm][1][1] \setupitemgroup[ltxitm][2][2] \setupitemgroup[ltxitm][3][3,packed] \setupitemgroup[ltxitm][4][4,packed] \setupitemgroup[ltxitm][5][5,packed] % I tried to define the third level with "cnum", but it is not working. Some official documents has their own numbering system. In that case, it is very convenient to define new itemgroup following its rule and forget defining the symbol for each level every time. There is no problem to use predefined symbols but I couldn't succeed to insert my defined symbol for some level. Is there a way to do that? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Turn Off Header and Footer
by Bene dikt 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I'm writing a report about my internship at the moment with ConTeXt. There's one problem: I would like to turn off the header and footer on the page with the table of contents. I've found the command "\page[header,footer]" but it has no effect. :( Command reference for "\page" command: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/page Here you can see my present code: http://pastebin.com/JNtXji1i I placed the "\page" command before "\completecontent" to turn off header and footer, however they are typeset. Maybe somebody has a tip how to solve this problem. Thank you. Benedikt

about suppressing prefix in section number
by Jeong Dalyoung 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, Here are a few questions. 1. The output of \section{one} \section{two} is 1.1 one 1.2 two But is it possible to suppress the prefix chapter number like 1 one 2 two ? 2. When defining custom itemgroup, we can set each level using the predefined item headers, like n, r, 1, 2, ...., and it works fine. I am trying to use newly defined conversion, but I couldn't succeed. Is it possible to set an itemgroup using predefined item and custom made item head like \def\circlednum#1{\uchar{36}{95+#1}} \defineconversion[cnum][\circlednum] ? Thank you and Have a nice weekend. Best regards, Dalyoung
