[NTG-Context] How to compute correct page number for handout
by Pierre-François Bonnefoi 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hello, I'use extensively context to write my lecture notes and for all of my printing needs. For my students, I've made some lecture presentations in color, and I print them in black&white, with four pages on one page for the handout. I would like to compute a correct Table of contents according to the handout : so to divide the current page number by four to get a correct page number for the handout. \def\ChapterPrefix#1{\the\numexpr#1/4 \relax} \setupcombinedlist[content][level=1] \setuplist[chapter][after=,before=,numbercolor=yellow,numbercommand=\underbar,pagecommand=\ChapterPrefix] That doesn't work, and I've some difficulties to figure how computation is performed in e-TeX... Could you help me to resolve this issue ? Kind regards, Pierre-François Bonnefoi. -- Bonnefoi Pierre-Francois | E-mail : bonnefoi(a)unilim.fr Universite de Limoges, Laboratoire XLIM | Tel : 06 28 18 03 38 83, rue d'Isle | Mrs. Peel, we're needed... 87000 Limoges - FRANCE | The Avengers.

\placecontent bug
by Alan BRASLAU 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hans, Thank you for fixing the \placepublications argument issue bug. I confirm that the current beta now works correctly. I remind you of the \placecontents bug in a structured document. The attached minimal example illustrates the erroneous inclusion of appendix sections in the partial table of contents in the bodymatter chapters. (Chapter 1 toc also includes Appendix A sections, Chapter 2 toc also includes Appendix B sections, …) Alan

Verbatim: Pascal pretty printer
by Stefan Müller 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi list, I wrote a custom pretty printer (verbatim) for Free Pascal/Turbo Pascal/Delphi source files. It's attached to this mail together with a ConTeXt test files that shows the features and some special cases. The pretty printer can handle: reserved words (bold) {...}-, (*...*)- and //...-style comments {$...} compiler directives '...' strings embedded assembler code (asm ... end) It's based on the Lazarus IDE syntax highlighter (Free Pascal IDE), which should be pretty Delphi-like. The main difference to Lazarus highlighting is that comments are not bold, but slanted. That looks much better when no colors are used. I'm not experienced in Lua programming, but I hope there are no major issues. I'd really appreciate any feedback: comments, suggestions and corrections (if necessary). I hope that eventually the Pascal pretty printer can make it's way into the ConTeXt distribution. Best wishes, Stefan. PS: Thanks for the Lua pretty printer, which served as a good starting point.

Re: [NTG-context] mixed English and Arabic using Simplefonts?
by Talal Al-Azem 02 Oct '10

Dear Wolfgang and Khaled, Thank you both for your replies. This has been very helpful. May I ask one further newbie question of simplefonts: how do I change the font for just the "fallback" font, without affecting the mainfont? Is there a way to do this by setting the size in points, or in scale (percentage), or some other fashion? In fontspec, i was accustomed to something like: \newfontfamily{\arfont}[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.66,WordSpace=1.66]{Scheherazade-Regular} I am sure there are equivalents for these feature (size, scale, wordspace); I've seen many features in the simplefonts pdf. But i'm unsure how to define something like "arfont" using simplefonts.

Simple Bibliography
by Elias Oltmanns 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi there, in the attempt to stich together a simple bibliography, I don's seem to get as far as I'd have liked. The layout of the bibliography should look something like this: +----------------------------------------------+ | authora: title of book | | authorb, F.: opus magnum with a rather | | title and ref. details | | authord, authore: another important book | +----------------------------------------------+ To achieve this, I'm thinking of something along these lines: \definedescription[bibitem][ location=left,align=flushright,sample={ longest author},width=broad, command=\BibCommand] \def\BibCommand#1{#1:} \starttext \chapter{Bibliography} \bibitem{authora} title of book \bibitem{authorb, F.} opus magnum with a rather title and ref. details \bibitem{authord, authore} another important book \stoptext Alas, it doesn't work out as expected. Can someone give a few hints towards a working example? It should compile under MkII too. Thanks for your help, Elias

\structureheadnumber does not work before first section
by Vianney le Clément 02 Oct '10

Hi, I'm trying to get the last section number using \structureheadnumber[section][last]. This works fine inside a section, but expands to nothing when used at the beginning of the document. Here is a minimal example: \starttext Last: \structureheadnumber[section][last] \dorecurse{4} {\section{Test #1} Last: \structureheadnumber[section][last]} \stoptext Vianney

mixed English and Arabic using Simplefonts?
by Talal Al-Azem 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

My apologies if I'm dumbing down the level of discussion here. But I'm trying to get my head around fonts and bidirectionality using ConTeXt MkIV (as a rather unsophisticated user, not as a developer). To begin with, since it's all bit much at once, I'm trying to use simplefonts. I am unclear how to establish English as my language and its font as my main font (using the default font), and Arabic as a secondary language (using Scheherazade). What would I change in the ara-sty environment found on wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew? Or, if I don't need to use this, should I define my own macro in my tex document for directionality? I'm probably making a mess of some basic things here, but could use some help. I have working familiarity with Fontspec over on the XeLaTeX side of things, but the sparse documentation of simplefonts is leading to my uncertainty as how to proceed. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Talal

Consolas
by Patrick Gundlach 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi, several days ago I asked about companions to Cambria, and Wolfgang kindly gave me this: \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [cambria] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [corbel] [default] [rscale=auto] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [consolas] [default] [rscale=auto] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [cambria] [default] which works fine, except for consolas. Shouldn't consolas be defined like \starttypescript [mono] [consolas] [name] \setups[\s!font:\s!fallback:\s!sans] \definefontsynonym [\s!Mono] [\s!file:consola] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [\s!MonoBold] [\s!file:consolab] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [\s!MonoItalic] [\s!file:consolai] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [\s!MonoBoldItalic] [\s!file:consolaz] [\s!features=\s!default] \stoptypescript instead of Sans.... ? It's much more a monospace font then a Sans. Thanks Patrick

typewriter text in formula
by Patrick Gundlach 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi, how do I get typewriter text in formula? I've tried: \startformula r = \mono{foo} \stopformula but that gives mono from a different font. I'd like to have consolas, but it looks like courier new. And a related question: How do I get an underscore in this: \startformula r = \mono{foo_i} looks wrong (I need the underscore) and \mono{foo\_i} fails \stopformula Patrick ----- My setup: \usetypescriptfile[type-consolas] \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [cambria] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [corbel] [default] [rscale=auto] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [consolas] [default] [rscale=auto] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [cambria] [default] where type-consolas is this: \unprotect \starttypescript [mono] [consolas] [name] \setups[\s!font:\s!fallback:\s!sans] \definefontsynonym [\s!Mono] [\s!file:consola] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [\s!MonoBold] [\s!file:consolab] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [\s!MonoItalic] [\s!file:consolai] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [\s!MonoBoldItalic] [\s!file:consolaz] [\s!features=\s!default] \stoptypescript \protect
