Could you correct this space problem Hans? \startitemize \item Eeny, meeny, miny, moe \placeformula \startformula \text{Numbered formula: the space after is correct.} \stopformula \item Eeny, meeny, miny, moe \placeformula[-] \startformula \text{Unumbered formula: the space after is too big.} \stopformula \item Eeny, meeny, miny, moe \stopitemize

Numberconversion problem in caption prefixes
by Géry Ogam 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Hello, There is a numberconversion problem in caption prefixes. For instance, if chapter numbers are set to Romannumerals, the conversion of the caption prefixes depends on the presence of a section Minimal example: \setuphead[chapter][conversion=Romannumerals] \setupcaption[way=bychapter, prefixsegments=chapter] \starttext \chapter{Cool} \placefigure{A cow}{\externalfigure[cow]} \chapter{Cat} \section{Mouse} \section{Dog} \placefigure{A cow}{\externalfigure[cow]} \stoptext The previous code displays an inconsistent caption prefix (first time a Romannumeral, second time a number): I Cool [figure] Figure I.1 A cow II Cat 2.1 Mouse 2.2 Dog [figure] Figure 2.1 A cow

Hi Thomas, I think it would be important to be able to index to the line number. Do you need a code sample for this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

EPUB woes
by Bill Meahan 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

I have been trying for a very long time to generate an epub document via context without success. I have followed the steps on the wiki to the letter, using the export-example file provided with the standalone distribution. A PDF generated from the file is exactly what I would expect from an example. The generated epub, however, is useless - all the text is jammed together into one continuous block with no formatting whatsoever. Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 crashes trying to open it. Sumatra and Sigil get it open but the results are as described above. Obviously I am missing a step or doing something wrong but I cannot see what. Context Standalone from a couple of days ago. Windows 7-64 (Home Premium) but I got the same results several months ago on a Linux system so I do not think it is OS-related.

Linespacing in TOC
by Jan Tosovsky 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Dear All, I'd like to tweak a default TOC linespacing... I've 'invented' this: \setupcombinedlist[content][list=chapter, alternative=c] \starttext \title{Table of Contents} \setupinterlinespace[line=0.8ex] % too small, just for testing \placecontent \setupinterlinespace[line=2.75ex] %\setupinterlinespace[reset] \startfrontmatter \chapter{Intro}text text text \startfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter}text \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \chapter{Appendix}text \stopbackmatter \stoptext I cannot use simply the \completecontent command as the linespacing is effective already between the title and the first entry line... so I am splitting the title and the rest and set the linespacing just before list rendering. Finally I am resetting the value manually. The 'reset' keyword seems to be somehow ignored... Are there better ways to tweak linespacing in TOC ? Thanks, Jan

[***SPAM***] Textile
by Bill Meahan 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

To save possibly reinventing the wheel, has anyone written a filter for processing Textile markup analogous to the filters for Markdown and reStructuredText? I tried using Pandoc to provide multiple formats of output (ConTeXt, EPUB, MS Word) from a common source but Pandoc is excessively tied to Markdown which does not understand the difference between emphasized text and italic text and only outputs {\em word}, <em>word</em>, \emph{word} and so forth which means I have to go through every instance of the tag and change tags where I want explicit italics as I use other typographical techniques (small-caps or sans-serif or ...) for emphasis but some things (book titles, ship names, foreign words/phrases et. al) are always set in italics by convention. Pandoc continues its "map everything to <em> ways even if the input is textile or (X)HTML. There are some other neat advantages to Textile as well such as local styling (CSS or \begin{environment}... or \startenvironment ...) I know a lot of computer languages now and I really don't want to learn Lua or Haskell -- I'm retired! :) -- Bill Meahan, Westland, Michigan “Writing is like getting married.

Space before chapters
by Jan Tosovsky 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Dear All, after two hours of investigating wiki and various commands I am giving up... Is there any way to set a bit of white space before my chapter title? (1) I've thought that before={\blank[20mm]} should do the job. It works for sections, but here I suspect it is ignored as my chapter start on a new page. (2) numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]} - this works as expected, but only for numbered titles - I need it also for TOC and Preface. (3) commandbefore={\blank[20mm]} - it inserts the space between the number and title I have no idea what else to try... \setuphead[chapter][ alternative=middle, %before={\blank[20mm]}, %commandbefore={\blank[20mm]}, numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]}, %numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[4mm]}, ] \starttext \startfrontmatter \chapter{Intro}text \startfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter}text \stopbodymatter \stoptext Any help is highly appreciated.
