Space between item symbol and item text
by Christian 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Dear all, how do I decrease the horizontal whitespace between the symbol and the text in an item[ize] list? The manual suggests this: \startitemize[1*serried] \item Test \stopitemize It's not working, I get the same distance as with no option at all . Test But I wanted . Test In fact, the option <<n>>*serried does not have any effect, whereas <<n>>*broad is working properly. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Trying to get figure frame corners to clip figure
by Kip Warner 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Hey list, I'd like the rounded corners of my figure's frame to clip off the outside corners of the image so they aren't sticking out. This is what I'm making do with: \setupexternalfigures [frame=on, corner=25, framecolor=colour_frame_border, background=color, backgroundcolor=colour_page, rulethickness=2pt] It almost works, but the image still sticks out at the corners beyond the frame edge. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Getting framed text to page break
by Kip Warner 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Hey list, I'd like to get framed text to break over a page, but I'm not sure how to do this. Right now, I am using: \def\StartSpecialFramedText% { \crlf \startframedtext [width=broad, bottom=\vss, top=\vss, align=right, corner=rectangular] \it } \def\StopSpecialFramedText% { \stopframedtext \crlf } ... \StartSpecialFramedText Some ... text \StopSpecialFramedText But the problem is that does not page break, but seems to want to stay all together on a single page. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

itemize textstyle
by Christian 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hi all, is it possible to assign different styles to each itemgroup or level of 'itemization'? It is possible when using \head to assign a headstyle, but wouldn't it be nice to assign a certain textstyle to an item level? Consider something heavily customized (but still useful IMHO) like this: 1. First Level (bold, small caps) - Second level (normal) > third level (italic) * fourth level (smaller font [\tfx], text color dark gray) I somehow can't find a way to achieve this, without applying the style in the actual list. I also do not know what these before and after keys do, but I assume they control more the surroundings than being a command that is insterted "before" and "after" the item text. Best Regards!

Text Background in Columnset
by H. Hodges 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

I have two columns on one page of my document. The text background from the first column is being continued into the second column even though I'm using \stoptextbackground before switching to the second column: \definecolumnset[first][n=2] \setupcolumnset[first][1][width=.65\makeupwidth] \setupcolumnset[first][2][width=.35\makeupwidth] \definecolor[introbackground][r=.92, g=.94, b=.84] \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[intro] [location=paragraph,frame=no,backgroundcolor=introbackground] \starttext \startcolumnset[first] \starttextbackground[intro] \input knuth \stoptextbackground \column blah blah blah more text \stopcolumnset \stoptext I also tried adding background=someColor to one of the \setupcolumnset declarations, but there was no background at all. Is there a better way to get backgrounds into columns or am I just missing something?

How to install extra module in the latest context?
by m00nlight 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

I update my context today, but it seems that the third part module did not installed. I use the command sh ./first-setup.sh --extras=all to update the context and when I compile the file I write before, it says the module vim and simplefonts did not found. Is there any error during my update ? How can I fix it ? Thanks

modules in minimals (important)
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Hello, Hans has changed the command line parameter for modules (--modules=vim should work now). The problem is that he now stores the chosen modules to a variable "modules" as opposed to "extras". So if you want to keep your modules, please edit status-of-update.lua and replace ["extras"] with ["modules"]. Or simply install the modules again. There is also a switch --fonts= which installs some additional fonts from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/fonts/extra/ Mojca

Continuous chapter numbering without prefixes in documents with parts
by Julian Becker 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

Does anybody know how to implement a continuous numbering of chapters in documents with several parts? More specifically: how can I achieve the following numbering scheme (with unprefixed chapter numbers): I First part 1 Chapter one 2 Chapter two II Second part 3 Chapter three I tried (unsuccessfully) the following: \setuphead[part][placehead=yes] \starttext \part{First part} \chapter{Chapter one} \chapter{Chapter two} \part{Second part} \chapter{Chapter three} \stoptext The here result is something like: First part 1.1 Chapter one 1.2 Chapter two Second part 2.1 Chapter three I tried to get rid of the chapter prefixes by putting \setuphead[chapter][prefix=no] but that had no effect whatsoever. Any ideas? Julian
