Page numbering and MkIV
by Vedran Miletić 14 Jan '10

14 Jan '10

This code: \enableregime[utf] \starttext \title{BLAH BLAH\\ BLAH} \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \page \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location={footer,center},conversion=romannumerals,style={\bf}] \completecontent \page \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \chapter[chapter:foo]{Foo Bar} \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location={footer,center},conversion=no,style={\ss\bf}] \section[sect:evocation]{EVOCATION} Lorem ipsum. \stoptext Produces what I expect with MkII (blank page, roman numbered page, arabic numbered page), but MkIV produces PDF with arabic numbering on every page. Any ideas? -- Vedran Miletić

XML - creating a list by hand (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi, can someone give me a helping hand with the following example. I still have no general survey over the XML related code in ConTeXt (donno what functions to use). The last time I played with it is one and a half year ago and many things have changed (meaning that the old examples no longer work). I simply want to create a XML document and insert some elements. My main problem is to insert an element at root level. I can insert an element before and after another element, but not into the element. I'm not sure, if I have understood the meaning of the pattern parameter correctly. Is this equal to XPath? %----- \starttext \startluacode local xmp = xml.convert("<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>\n<root>\n<bar>bla</bar>\n</root>") --xml.before(xmp,"/root/bar","foo") --xml.delete(xmp,"bar") --xml.inject(xmp,"/sub","bar")-- only for xml-files? xml.insert(xmp,"/root/bar","") --xml.inject(xmp,"/*/bar","") --xml.sprint(xml.filter(xmp,"/root/sub")) xml.save(xmp,"test.xml") \stopluacode \stoptext %----- Best wishes, Peter

simple layout
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hallo, I need a little help for this simple layout. I am looking for a solution for hours now, but I can not get it work: ---------------------------------------------------------------- \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \framed[background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]{% \starttable[|lp(.1\textwidth)|lp(.9\textwidth)|] \NC \placefigure[left,high]{none}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \NC Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts!\crlf Text rechts! \NC\AR % \NC Text rechts! \NC\AR \stoptable} Mehr Text \ldots \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- left: picture (not always the same height) right: text (variable height, sometimes more, sometimes less than on the left) left and right framed (height should be the maximum of left and right height) after that: normal text. Problems: If height(left)>height(right) than height(framed) is not height(left) 'Mehr Text' is not left aligned Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] Putting chord names above the lyrics

Thanks, Wolfgang! Good toy ) \usemodule[ruby] \define[1]\chord{\dontleavehmode\ruby[position=before,align=left,inbetween={\blank[big]}]{}{#1}} \starttext \setupinterlinespace[big] \startlines \chord{E}Cvet dišeč z \chord{H7}jutrom se od\chord{cis}pre, \chord{A}sonce od\chord{E}pira o\chord{H}či. \chord{E}Polje z vetrom v \chord{H7}plesu ziblje \chord{cis}se. Gos\chord{E}pod, pov\chord{H}sod vidim \chord{E}Te. \stoplines \stoptext However, it was tricky to find out that "inbetween={\blank[big]}"key controls the distance between chords and lyrics. Can this distance be set more precisely? And "position=before" or "after" would better be "above" and "below", respectively. Don't you dare to change this? ) Regards, Vyatcheslav

Thanks for answers, friends! I don't have ruby installed, so I try Mojca solution. It works perfectly (thanks!), except I need to wrap the lyrics into the 'lines' envinroment. To achieve this, I need to replace \setupwhitespace with \setupinterlinespace and adjust raisebox amount. \starttext \def\Ch#1{% \strut\hbox to 0pt{\raisebox{0.45\baselineskip}\hbox{\bf#1}\hss}} \setupinterlinespace[big] \startlines \Ch{E}Cvet dišeč z \Ch{H7}jutrom se od\Ch{cis}pre, \Ch{A}sonce od\Ch{E}pira o\Ch{H}či. \Ch{E}Polje z vetrom v \Ch{H7}plesu ziblje \Ch{cis}se. Gos\Ch{E}pod, pov\Ch{H}sod vidim \Ch{E}Te. \stoplines \stoptext What do you mean talking about optimization? ) Regards, Vyatcheslav
