checking for module parameters
by Philipp Gesang 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hi, is there a way to check whether an option was specified through \usemodule? Couldn't find anything like that in core-fil.mkiv. I'd imagined some branching as with the system macros: ······ Wishful thinking ······················································· \doifmoduleparameter{modulename}{key} % in the module code {\somecommand[\moduleparameter{modulename}{key}]} \usemodule % user code [modulename] [key=val] ····· /Wishful thinking ······················································· Thanks for any suggestions, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

lettrine and setupalign cause Overfull \hbox errors
by Martin Althoff 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

There appears to be some kind of clash between the lettrine module and setting up \setupalign[right] when used together: on a 200 page text every line has Overfull \hbox errors. As a (stupid?) side question: why is text, that aligns on the left edge of an odd-numbered page called "right" aligned? Thanks, Martin Demo: \usemodule[lettrine] \setupalign[right] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\lettrine {T}{here} {\input tufte\par}} \stoptext

Hi, The following minimal example has no effect on page numbering(MkIV): \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] % \setuppagenumbering[numberconversion=romannumerals] has no effect too. \starttext \chapter{Alpha} \input tufte \stoptext $ context --version MTXrun | current version: 2010.08.10 17:14 $ luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.61.0-2010072816

Numbering in Table of Content
by Riobard 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, Is it possible to create a Table of Content like the one shown in the attached image? Basically I need a few unnumbered entries at the top of the table (like abstract, acknowledgements, etc) with romannumeral-numbered page number, followed by numbered chapters with digits-numbered page number as normal. Thanks! Rio

ConTeXt meeting programme
by Taco Hoekwater 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi all, Jano has put up the preliminary programme for our meeting: http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/programme.shtml For those of you that are still in doubt or simply waiting with registration: As Jano wrote last week, the registration is still open and will remain open until we reach the available capacity. But it is possible that the maximum capacity actually *will* be reached, so it is not wise to delay your decision until the very last moment. Hope to see you in Brejlov, Taco

\startnarrower as \abstract in LaTeX and bottom "layer" as footnote without markers
by Xan 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, I try to duplicate this [http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.1458] article to ConTeXt. The original article was written in LaTeX. I have to troubles in this "duplication": - abstract: I "emulate" LaTeX abstract environment with \startnarrower ... \stopnarrower, as this [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Article_Abstracts] wiki page suggests. But I see that the space between lines is much bigger in ConTeXt than LaTeX and that if we put $n^2$ for example in abstract, ConTeXt displays too big, as a normal text, instead of LaTeX where all is \small sized. - for the other hand, I want to put a "layer" as a footnote without markers. In the original article it begins with "Date: ...". How can I achieve that? - Finally, I want to put my name and title alternatively in the headertexts, in odd and even pages. How can I do that? Anyone could help me? Thanks a lot, Xan. PS: Please CC-me.

Footnote texts mistakenly appearing on page prior to call up
by Elias Oltmanns 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi there, the document attached below produces rather unexpected results. Even though footnote number 6 is called for on page 3, the associated footnote text appears on the previous page. Using location=page in the footnote setup restores the expected behaviour, but in this case the footnote text does not wrap at the end of the margin but is cut off instead. This cannot even be prevented by setting width=\rightmarginwidth in the footnote setup. Any ideas? (This is with MkIV) Elias %%%%%%%% \setuplayout[backspace=5cm,width=middle,rightmarginwidth=3cm,rightmargindistance=1mm] \setupalign[line] \setupnote[footnote][location=text,rule=off,align=right] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=left] \setuptexttexts[margin][][ {\framed[frame=off,offset=none,align=low,height=\textheight,width=broad] {\placenotes[footnote]}}] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{% \section{Section} As Knuth himself wrote\footnote{See knuth.tex (part of every \CONTEXT--distribution)}: \input knuth\par} \stoptext

caught in the grid
by Steffen Wolfrum 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, as there is no setup for paragraphs (see thread before), I really don' know how to come out of this trap: I need a tight interlinespace for the normal body text, but no lunatic headings!! Have a look, please: \definegridsnapping[MyGrid] [off]% broad/both/bold/local fit for the text \starttext \setuplayout[grid=MyGrid] \switchtobodyfont[42pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=30pt] \lineskiplimit-\maxdimen Big text\crlf written in\crlf three row \section{One\\Two\\Three} Big text\crlf written in\crlf three row \stoptext Literally the whole day I tried various grid key combinations ... for setuplayout and setuphead ... in vain. I am going crazy! Steffen

\version[temporary] doesn't show registers
by Michael Murphy 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

As far as I understand it, \version[temporary] should show the registers (for example, the indexed values) in each page in the margin. But it doesn't. Has this command changed? -- Michael Murphy MPhys
