lang-wrd.lua - howto count 1-, 2-, and 3-letter words?
by Florian Wobbe 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hi, I'd like to ask an early question again in a different way: I need to count every word in a document but lang-wrd.lua counts only words with 4+ letters. So I tried to set "words.threshold = 4" in context/base/lang-wrd.lua to smaller values but this does not change anything. I don't know where to start looking. Also I am searching for a non-global solution without changing the core files. Thanks! Florian

Simplefonts
by Charles Doherty 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Dear Wolfgang, I sent an e-mail about problems with my simplefonts. I got no reply since my example had fonts that were probably not available to you. But the problem does not relate to the Gaelic fonts that I had been using. I am sending this file instead. The fonts below can be swapped about. The main font is always typeset as requested but the others are not. Am I doing something really silly? The readout from the console is below. I am using Context Minimals MarkIV on a Mac. Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Charlie \usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Adventor] \starttext Hello World \blank[big] \simplefont[TeX Gyre Heros] \blank[big] \simplefont[Zapfino] Hello World \stoptext The argument "/Users/charlesdoherty/Documents/TestFolder/Untitled.tex" is not a valid TEXROOT path.

Beside blank with 1 or 2, how to do it with 1.5
by Cecil Westerhof 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

I would like to do something like: \setuphead[section][before={\blank[1.5*big] \testpage[12]}] This does not work. I get: to be read again> * <argument> 1.5* big \addaskedblankskip ...nce \blankskip #1\dimexpr #2 \relax But I can do: \setuphead[section][before={\blank[2*big] \testpage[12]}] How to implement what I want? -- Cecil Westerhof

Using bookmarks
by Cecil Westerhof 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

I am using: \placebookmarks[part,chapter,section][part,chapter] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] When I have the PDF file displayed fill window width and I click on a section. The page where this section is on, is displayed in full page. I would prefer the zoom level would stay the same and the start of the section would be displayed at the top of the page. Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

Why does bookmarks show also sections
by Cecil Westerhof 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

I use: \placebookmarks[chapter,section][chapter] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] As I understand it there should be bookmarks generated for chapters and sections. When opening the document only the bookmarks for chapters should be shown. But all bookmarks are shown. What is going wrong? -- Cecil Westerhof

I strongly agree that sample set-up code (ideally well-commented so that it also serves as a tutorial of sorts) to reproduce the style of LaTeX would be helpful. The appearance of LaTeX documents isn't perfect but it produces reasonably high-quality results suitable for complex technical documents right out of the box of the box without any tweaking, whereas ConTeXt requires (at least it did for me) some trouble to set it up for the first time. To some extent this is not because of the merit of the LaTeX design itself but the fact that it is familiar and therefore highly readable to someone used to reading it. It is also the point of departure for a LaTeX user wanting to convert to using ConTeXt; hence, i would imagine many such people would prefer to tweak a LaTeX-like document appearance to better suit their needs rather than starting with something quite different. Certainly, this was the case for me; being basically satisfied with my LaTeX documents but wanting more control and the option to use the advanced features of ConTeXt. Having sample set-up code that emulated LaTeX would have eased the initial transition for me.

Putting citations in an e-book
by Cecil Westerhof 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

I am making my first e-book. And am now seriously using ConTeXt. But I have a lot to learn. In my ebook I want to use citations. In two different way. For starters I want to let every chapter start with a citation. At the moment I think that this does not need to be fancy. Just a little bigger font and a different color and white-space after it. But if there is a better way, I do not mind to hear it. The trickier part is in the text itself. I would like to use citations near the text itself. For example: when I write that you need to set goals to fulfill your potential, I like to have nearby the citation from Abraham Lincoln: 'A goal properly set is halfway reached'. I have this seen done in several way: with and without a surrounding box. With and without flowing text, etc. What is the best way to do this? On one side concerning the medium. (I think that an e-book asks for something else as a normal book.) On the other side concerning the best way to implement it in ConTeXt. -- Cecil Westerhof

Re: [NTG-context] Am not getting Roman numeral page numbers in MKIV

Dear Tom, > > What version are you using? > I am using minimal not TeXlive2010. Of course, there are some bugs in beta. But it would be fixed soon. Moreover, you can have more than one Minimal folder. So it is easy to use stable version if the beta has bugs. > > BTW, where did you read to use front part instead of frontmatter? > There was a thread whose title is "Roman Page numbers". And among the mails on 2009. 2. 4, there was a sample written by Wolfgang . \definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] \definestructureconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers] \setuplist[chapter][pageconversionset=pagenumber] \startstructureblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopstructureblockenvironment \startstructureblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopstructureblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent[criterium=all] \chapter{Intro} \input tufte \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{knuth} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \stoptext Mailing list is a good place for me to learn ConTeXt. There are so many things which are not described in the manual. I cannot give you a solution. But many experts who are reading this list will give you a solution. Cheers, Dalyoung

Hi, one time it works, the second it doesn't: \starttext \interwordspace 20.7pt Big Space \par \interwordspace 2.7pt Big Space \par \interwordspace 20.7pt Big Space \stoptext Does someone can explain how and when interwordspace is successfully set? Thanks a lot, Steffen (on Mark IV)

$n\choose k$-issue with OpenType math fonts
by Andreas Harder 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Hi all, I'm (re)tying to draw some attention to the $n\choose k$-issue with OpenType math fonts. I've made some test files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/151837/OpenType-Math.7z The best output is generated by LuaLaTeX (at least for Asana and Cambria). Would it be possible to correct the ConTeXt output as well? Regards Andreas
