In fact I tried to set up the background only once, like this: \definelayer[chapterbackground] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \setlayer[chapterbackground]{% \externalfigure[mill.png] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] } \setuphead[chapter] [before={ \setupbackgrounds[page] [background=chapterbackground] }] \starttext \chapter{Knuth} \dorecurse{5}{ \input knuth \par } \chapter{Dawkins} \input dawkins \stoptext But it looks like the layer “forgets” the image each time it is used, and the second chapter does not have the image. I’d be pleased to know the “right way” to do this too ... Robin

[***SPAM***] small space before some characters (: ; ! ?)
by Csikos Bela 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hello: Hungarian typography requires inserting small spaces before :, ;, ! and ? characters. The width of this small space should be equal to that of the period (.). In latex magyarlatex (magyar.ldf) module (part of biblatex) contains definitions to achieve this. How could I set this in context? Thanks in advance, bcsikos

lua code prevents compilation

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters","after","document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \def\CoverImageFile{}%\externalfigure[TypeWriter][width=\textwidth]} \definefontfamily[ornamenta][rm][FontAwesome] \def\CoverImageFont{\scale[width=\textwidth]{\ornamenta }} \def\CoverImage{\doifsomethingelse{\CoverImageFile}{\CoverImageFile}{\CoverImageFont}} \starttext \CoverImage \stoptext For some reason unknown to me, the only way to compile the sample is to remove the luacode snippet.

overlay or layer for chapter head.
by John Culleton 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

I am redoing a book for a client. Each chapter head has a fancy design. I want to reproduce that fancy page but still have the "\chapter" statement for running heads, TOC etc. Is there a way that I can overlay the entire chapter first page with a graphic, ideally a one page pdf file. I have tried workarounds with \startstandardmakeup,\writetolist, \definemarking etc. but the whole thing is getting too complicated. I just want to overlay a the entire page with a graphic yet have the real content of the page still available for TOC, running head, indexing terms etc. Any suggestions? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

question on bibliography generation in context stable
by Csikos Bela 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hello: I installed a standalone context system on my linux OS by running the install script: sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --context=current --engine=luatex For getting the install script I followed the link given at contextgarden install wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone % the wiki page http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh % link to the install script The version of this installed context is: > context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /usr/local/context/stable/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2014.01.03 00:40 My questions are related to bibliography production. For setting up bibliography I used the manual mentioned and linked at the contextgarden Bibliography MkIV wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv % the wiki page http://www.let.rug.nl/alfa/texmf/tetex30/context/bib/bibmod-doc.pdf % link to the manual dated 2009 March 02 I want a numbered bibliography list for which I use the following setup in the document preamble: \setuppublications[alternative=num,refcommand=num,sorttype=cite,numbering=yes,autohang=yes] Questions: 1. The above setting results in a numbered bibliography list where the numbers are aligned left and don't have period, like (use monotype font to see the correct alignment): 1 Authors 25 Authors 134 Authors I would like to make the list item numbers right aligned and having a period, like: 1. Authors 25. Authors 134. Authors I also would like to know how I can change the distance between the numbers and text (authors). 2. I am confused how to use the autohang, totalnumber and samplesize options. For exmample I have the following setup: \setuppublications[alternative=num,refcommand=num,sorttype=cite,numbering=yes,autohang=yes] \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={MMMMMM}] or \setuppublicationlist[totalnumber=220] or \setuppublicationlist[totalnumber=220,samplesize={MMMMMM}] Whatever setting I use for totalnumber and samplesize, they don't have any effect on the output. The bbl file always has the same in the first line: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={PGABMN{\etalchar{+}}02},totalnumber=220] The only option that makes a difference is autohang on/off. With autohang=on the 3-digit numbers hang onto the list entry texts (authors) and partially overlap them. With autohang=no they don't overlap but are still too close to the list item text. It seems it behaves the opposite to what is expected. What is the correct use of these options? It's not explained in the manual. 3. There are 4 bst files in context from which context chooses one for generating the list. How context decides which bst file is used? Is it possible to use a bst file with another name? (Just to make it clear: I don't want to use completely different bst file, only to modify one, eg cont-no.bst, save it with a different name and use that file.) Thanks in advance, bcsikos

Latest beta: reference to items broken in mkiv

Hi Hans, It seems that referencing to items is broken in the latest beta mkiv: for example in the example below the command \in{Item}[ref:2] does not show item number 2. However it works fine in mkii and previous releases. Best regards: OK PS: a minimal example follows %%% begin ref-item-broken.tex \starttext \startitemize[n] \startitem[ref:1] Item 1, reference 1 \stopitem \startitem[ref:2] Item 2, reference 2 \stopitem \startitem[ref:3] Item 3, reference 3 \stopitem \stopitemize See \in{Item}[ref:2] above. \stoptext %%% end ref-item-broken.tex

Vertical space after \head

Hello, is it possible to affect simply vertical space being generated after \head? Here: ---- \starttext \startitemize[][headstyle=bold] \head Something\par \input knuth \stopitemize \stoptext ---- I'd like to have space of size \blank[medium] between the head and the following text. But it seems nothing of "joinedup", "after", "before" or "inbetween" affects the space. So - is it possible somehow? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Spurious registers log entry?
by Rik Kabel 31 Mar '15

The following code: \setupregister[index][n=1] \starttext \index{A}\index{A+A}AA\seeindex{AA}{A+A}. \placeindex \stoptext generates the following log entry. structure > registers > invalid see entry in register 'index', reference 'AA' No similar entry is produced for a non-+ target. This does not appear to cause a problem in the output, but the log message is annoying, and may point to incorrect logic in the source (strc-reg.lua). -- rik

Adjusting vertical location of a margin figure
by Mari Voipio 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Dear all, in the user manuals I'm working with we'd like to put a graphic in the margin when the text includes a warning or other important information. I have found multiple ways of putting a graphic in the margin (see below), but none of them works perfectly. In some the graphic is placed to the baseline of the first row of the paragraph, in others it is placed lower down and in short paragraphs ends up by the next paragraph. What I want is a symbol in the margin aligned to the top of the paragraph. Is this possible? The graphic is always in the beginning of the paragraph, it doesn't appear in the middle. This is what I have this far: \setupwhitespace[medium] \starttext \inmargin{\externalfigure[warning]} \input tufte \inmargin{\externalfigure[warning]} Really short paragraph. \inleft{ \placefigure[none][]{} {\externalfigure[warning]} } \input tufte \placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[warning]} \input tufte \placefigure [inleft,none] {} {\externalfigure[warning]} \input tufte \placefigure [inleft,none] {} {\externalfigure[warning]} Really short paragraph. \stoptext Of course I have the option of making the symbols textheight, in which case \inmargin (aligning to baseline) would work. However, I'd rather keep them bigger if that is possible. Thanks, Mari

Selecting fonts using the built-in simplefonts module
by Pavneet Arora 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hello everyone, After a long time I have some typesetting work in front of me...yippeee! I am struggling with adapting my templates to the new integrated simplefonts module, and hope that someone can help. The three issues I am having are: 1. How does one find the proper expanded long name of the desired font. For this project, I am using some fonts from The League of Moveable Type (https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/) I have reloaded the fonts, and can list them, in the traditional manner. What I don't know is how to find the proper name for---say Junction Light---to use as the third argument in '\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction Light]' The use of 'Junction Light' doesn't work, and neither does 'Junction-Light', nor 'junctionlight', nor even 'Junction, Light' which I retrieve from Font Viewer under Linux. MWE follows at the end of this email. I reference Wolfgang's response stating that the expanded name must be used (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077321.html) $ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=junction resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf' resolvers | caching | skipping 'files' for 'home:texmf' from '/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/trees/54be04d87dd160089f572b19cb5c97e9' (version mismatch) junction junctionbold /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-bold.otf junctionbold junctionbold /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-bold.otf junctionlight junctionlight /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-light.otf junctionregular junctionregular /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-regular.otf 2. How does one switch fonts in-line for small snippets of text? I used to use '{\simplefont[heydingsicons] q}123.345.67890', but this now results in an error. tex error > error on line 7 in file virtual://buffer.noname.1: ! Undefined control sequence l.7 {\simplefont [heydingsicons] q}~123.456.7890 {\simplefont[heydingsicons.. 3. This may be a more generic typescript mapping issue, but I still struggle with understanding font mappings. I don't quite get how the default mappings are done. Look, for example, at Junction above. 'junction' is mapped to 'junctionbold' rather than 'junctionregular'. Is this just done by taking the first in the list in alphabetic order? Or how the League Gothic font is processed below. How is it that leaguegothic is mapped to leaguegothiccondenseditalic by default? What is the recommended way in this new simplefont scheme to set the mappings for a document? $ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=leaguegothic resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf' resolvers | caching | skipping 'files' for 'home:texmf' from '/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/trees/54be04d87dd160089f572b19cb5c97e9' (version mismatch) leaguegothic leaguegothiccondenseditalic /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/theleagueof-league-gothic-64c3ede/LeagueGothic-CondensedItalic.otf leaguegothiccondenseditalic leaguegothiccondenseditalic /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/theleagueof-league-gothic-64c3ede/LeagueGothic-CondensedItalic.otf leaguegothiccondensedregular leaguegothiccondensedregular /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/theleagueof-league-gothic-64c3ede/LeagueGothic-CondensedRegular.otf leaguegothicitalic leaguegothicitalic /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/theleagueof-league-gothic-64c3ede/LeagueGothic-Italic.otf leaguegothicregular leaguegothicregular /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/theleagueof-league-gothic-64c3ede/LeagueGothic-Regular.otf Many thanks. >>>> MWE \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Prociono] \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction Light] %\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][junctionlight] %\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction-Light] %\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction, Light] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm][TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface,9pt] \setupwhitespace[medium] \starttext \input lorem \ss\input lorem % {\simplefont[heydingsicons] q}~123.456.7890 \stoptext <<<< -- ---- Pavneet Arora m: 647.406.6843 Waroc Informatik t: 416.937.9276

tagging a startstop
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Dear syndicate, We have \definehighlight[tagged][style=] so that \tagged{arg} tags the argument. Analogously: Is there a general facility to tag startstops? I played around with \dostarttagged etc but could not get it to work (too low-level for me I guess). What would be nice is to be able to say, e.g. \definestartstop[TAG][tag=div] % or tag=construct etc. so that my startstop also generates tags in the xhtml. Is there already a way to do this? Thanks and Best Wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

\appendtoks and structuring commands
by Sam Ḥilluc 28 Mar '15

Hi list, I'm trying to leverage the structuring facilities of context. In my previous setup I added a title page automatically by using: \appendtoks \placetitle \to \everystarttext But now that I'm using environments and products, it doesn't seem to work. Here is a minimal (not) working example: % env.tex \startenvironment env \setuppapersize[A5] \appendtoks Title page \to \everystarttext \stopenvironment % prj.tex \startproject prj \environment env \stopproject % prd.tex \startproduct prd \project prj \starttext Bla bla \stoptext \stopproduct Note that when using \everystoptext rather than \everystarttext, it does work (it adds the text to the last page) So what am I doing wrong ? -- H.-E.

about installation instructions in the wiki
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Dear list, composing an explanation about ConTeXt, I came to the name of the distrubtion. I think it is “ConTeXt Suite” (I would also capitalize the first letter from the second word). If I’m not wrong, the wiki article that offers installation instructions has the title “ConTeXt Standalone”. I wonder whether it would be better to move “ConTeXt Standalone” to “ConTeXt Suite” (and also subpages) and redirect all pages to the new destinations. Otherwise, we can’t prevent that people call the “ConTeXt Suite” “ConTeXt Standalone” instead. (I know it isn’t a question of forcing anyone, but of diseminating a newer name :-).)

Word wrap around framed text.
by John Culleton 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

This passage works OK except for the lack of word wrap around for the framed text. ------------------------------ \starttext \chapter{Introduction} The specialty food market has exploded. A combination of factors has led to exciting opportunities for food entrepreneurs. Retail sales of all specialty foods are generating revenues of more than 88 billion a year and averaging annual growth of more than 8 percent. To some, this means great opportunity. To others, it represents a formidable challenge. Your ability to grab a slice of this pie and make your mark, establish your independence, achieve success, and acquire wealth will depend on how effectively you prepare-and prepare you must! How to prepare for the opportunities and challenges of taking your food products to the appropriate store shelves is the subject of this guide. You need not know the basics of small business operations just yet. For now, success will depend on your personal and business vision, drive, talent, and the amount of capital you can raise. Let's put that last item into perspective: the average cost of getting national grocery store shelf exposure for a new product by a branded manufacturer has been estimated at more than \$6 million. Still reading? Take heart. There is a proven alternative: the specialty food industry. It has become the proven vehicle for entry-level food distribution in the United States. Different market segments and new products can be tested in the specialty food industry without the initial investment required of the major food producers. The secret has to do with superior execution of often ordinary ideas \section{How Long Does It Take to Be Successful?} \section{How Much Will It Cost You?} Depending on your approach, you can expect to incur minimum start-up costs of approximately \$35,000 to \$100,000 and more each year for the first three to five years. This includes production, packaging, labeling, advertising, and promotion of one product.

ePUB creation problems
by Gerben Wierda 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

I’m getting to the next phase of ePUB creation. My project now exports and with mtxrun —script epub, I can create an actual ePUB, but there are issues I need to fix. One is the lack of a cover image. The command for epub creation works, but says: (. /usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex && mtxrun --script epub --make "prd_book") mtx-epub | using specification file 'prd_book-export/prd_book-pub.lua' mtx-epub | the 'mudraw' binary is not present mtx-epub | cover page image 'cover.xhtml' is not present mtx-epub | saving dummy coverpage to 'prd_book-export/cover.xhtml' I’m using in the env file: \setupbackend [export=yes] \setupexport [title={Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture}, author={Gerben Wierda}, firstpage={9789081984058-CoverFront.jpeg}, ] So, what seems to be ignored is \setupexport [title={Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture}, author={Gerben Wierda}, firstpage={9789081984058-CoverFront.jpeg}, ] What am I missing?

[MetaFun] Decorating running text

18 Mar '15

Hi there! I have some text (a single word) which I want to decorate using MP. In this special case, I want to put a little crown above the "g" in the word "Shogun". Also the crown and text should get scaled accordingly to the surrounding text. ```tex \define\Shogun{\startMPcode draw textext("Shogun") \stopMPcode} \starttext The word \Shogun\ shall be decorated with the crown shown in fig~\in[fig:crown]: \placefigure[here][fig:crown]{The crown that shall decorate the \quote{g} in \quotation{Shogun}}{ \startMPcode fill (-20,-17.5)--(20,-17.5)--(30,12.5)--(10,-2.5)--(0,17.5)--(-10,-2.5)--(-30,12.5)--cycle withcolor yellow ; \stopMPcode } \stoptext ``` I wanted to try to draw the text using MPs draw, but then the baselines doesn't match as you can see in the example. Also I don't know how I could ensure that the text and the crown would crow accordingly to the surrounding text.

Now that I have something working on mkiv, I'd like to try ePUB
by Gerben Wierda 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Now that I have my book project basically running on mkiv (the layout probably has a few problems left, the main one currently being extra whitespace after a chapter heading compared to mkii), I’d like to try producing ePUB from it. ConTeXtgarden says I have to add a backend and points me to the info on the standard project structure (which I use), but there I don’t find anything about a backend. The extended example says that starting january 2015, things have changed with ePUB, which probably also applies to me as I only recently started with a fresh download of a current ConTeXt mkiv. So, can someone tell me what I need to do to get a basic ePUB output? And what command do I run to update my separate ConTeXt tree? And which one to find out what version I’m running? G

indentnext=auto
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Dear gang, For export we have to tag paragraphs. After block quotes, itemizations, etc, the context determines whether the first line of the next paragraph should be indented, so we use the indentnext=auto mechanism. But with \start|stopparagraph it doesn't seem to work: See attached. ==================== \setupindenting[big,yes] % Do not indent the first line of a block quote \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][before={\blank[medium] \setupindenting[no]},after={\blank[medium]}] % Do not indent the first line after a block quote \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][indentnext=auto] \starttext \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \startblockquote \input ward \stopblockquote \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \startblockquote \input ward \stopblockquote \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stoptext ==================== From what I understand, if [indentnext=auto] is activated then a blank line after the environment should activate indenting; no blank line after the environment should impede indenting. In this example, we get no indentation either way. Am I missing something, or is it a bug? By the way, something like \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][indentnext=yes] \startparagraph[indenting=no] \input ward \stopparagraph would be a nice feature. Any chance?

Exporting highlights
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Dear gang, Ok, I'm rolling up my sleeves and taking another stab at exporting to xhtml (maybe even epub). Major project, so taking this one small step at a time. The immediate aim is to get correct output in a browser (I use Opera, and Chrome as a control). Test files attached. Immediate problem is highlights. ============export-highlight.tex============== \setupbackend [export=yes,css=highlight.css] \definehighlight[emphasis] [style=italic] \definehighlight[important][style=bold] \definehighlight[regular][style=\tf] \starttext \startchapter[title=Highlights] \startparagraph This is \emphasis{emphasis}. This is \important{important}. This is \regular{regular}. This is \emphasis{some emphasized text, with \regular{regular} in between}. This is \important{some important text, with \regular{regular} in between}. \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stoptext =============================================== In highlight.css (copied from export-sample.css and modified) I added these lines: ================== highlight [detail="emphasis"]{ font-weight : italic ; } highlight [detail="important"]{ font-weight : bold ; } highlight [detail="regular"]{ font-weight : regular ; } ================== Results: =======export-highlight-tag.xhtml======== <sectioncontent> <paragraph>This is <highlight detail="emphasis">emphasis</highlight>. This is <highlight detail="important">important</highlight>. This is <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight>. <break/> This is <highlight detail="emphasis">some emphasized text, with <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight> in between</highlight>. <break/> This is <highlight detail="important">some important text, with <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight> in between</highlight>.</paragraph> </sectioncontent> =======export-highlight-div.xhtml======== <div class="paragraph">This is <div class="highlight emphasis">emphasis</div>. This is <div class="highlight important">important</div>. This is <div class="highlight regular">regular</div>. <div class="break"></div> This is <div class="highlight emphasis">some emphasized text, with <div class="highlight regular">regular</div> in between</div>. <div class="break"></div> This is <div class="highlight important">some important text, with <div class="highlight regular">regular</div> in between</div>.</div> ========================================= Observation: Opera won't render *-raw.xml, so we ignore that file. In a browser we have Challenge 1: Neither export-highlight-tag.xhtml nor export-highlight-div.xhtml renders the highlights. What do we need to do? Challenge 2: export-highlight-div.xhtml breaks the line before a highlight as well as after a highlight. What is missing here? Aim: To turn my current project into an epub, or at least something that can be viewed in a browser (xhtml). Caveat: I don't know much web development (css, xhtml, div, etc) but am willing to work with what I have... but only IF there is a finish line. If there is no finish line (i.e., things are too broken at the moment to get the mission accomplished via what ConTeXt and CSS provide) kindly let me know so I can stop now! Henning Hraban Ramm and Aditya Mahajan mentioned XSLT stylesheets, but this is probably way above my paygrade, unless someone can give me very simple newbie pointers.

TikZ offers the remember picture/overlay option for that. The MWE works in MkII (command “texexec”) which I am not using, but not in the latest MkIV (command “context”). The problem might be that according to the PGF/TikZ manual “You need to use a driver that supports picture remembering and you need to run TEX twice” (16.13.1 Referencing a Node in a Different Picture). So my questions are: 1.) Does LuaTeX support TikZ picture remembering? 2.) If so, how can I get ConTeXt MkIV to “run TeX twice”? 3.) If all of the above worked, would that work also if the inline TikZ pictures to be remembered are on another file referenced via \input? I have seen a solution similar to what I want to achieve in the METAFUN manual but I don’t have a clue how to get that METAPOST alternative working.

setup for paragraph styles
by mf 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hello, I'd like to kwnow the commands I should use in ConTeXt to define styles for paragraphs of text that are not headers/titles nor normal text. With titles I know I must use: \definehead[MyTitle][title] \setuphead[MyTitle][...] What should I use for texts like subtitles, dates of letters, signatures? They are "paragraphs" often made by a few words, with a different alignment, margins, style and vertical space above and below. For a long quote I've seen that I can use: \definedelimitedtext[MySpecialText] \setupdelimitedtext[MySpecialText] Are those the right commands for my purpose in ConTeXt? In particular, I'm typesetting XHTML, where all those elements are <p class="subtitle">, <p class="letter-date">, <p class="signature"> and so on. An example taken from my xml environment: ... \startxmlsetups xml:myenv \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body|h3|p|i}{xml:*} ... \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{p[@class='letter-date']}{xml:p:letter-date} ... \stopxmlsetups ... \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \page[no]\rightaligned{\noindent\xmlflush{#1}}\par\page[no] \stopxmlsetups ... Is that the right way or is it better to define and setup a style like this? \define_???_[LetterDate] \setup_???_[LetterDate][ before=..., after=..., ..., ] and use it like this: \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \startLetterDate \xmlflush{#1} \stopLetterDate \stopxmlsetups And if it's better like that, what should I write instead of _???_ ? Thanks, Massi

Hanging indent

Hello everybody, Currently I am typesetting a small dictionary. I want to have hanging indents if the text joined to the expression is longer than one line. In the past I had this definitions: \defineblank[Afterhangingparagraph][1pc] \starttext \def\Hangindent{\hangafter=1\hangindent=1em} \definestartstop[HangPar] [before={\bgroup\appendtoks\Hangindent\to\everypar}, after={\egroup\blank[Afterhangingparagraph]}] \starttext \startHangPar \input knuth \stopHangPar \startHangPar {\bf Aanslaan,} aanspreken. Een poging in 't werk stellen. Ik zal dat heertje reis aanslaan. Sla dien broger (man) aan, misschien heeft hij poen (geld). Jongens, er moet aangeslagen worden, daar loopt mooi gajes (menschen daar wat van te halen is). \stopHangPar \stoptext The strange thing is, that the first two paragraphs of the Knuth-text is showing a hanging indent, however the last paragraph does not which is unexpected. In the example from the dictionary no hanging indentation is shown. What do I mis here? Kind regards Willi

But it really interests me and I do need it. First of all, I compiled the ME and added a number of my own .bib entries and they all came out well. It looks as if I can just continue use my existing BibTex database in the new system and continue using BibDesk for new items, which is a very good thing. No need to generate .bbl’s separately. (Though I hope that ConTeXt will keep the possibility to process .bbl’s as before.) My questions are: 1 The ME contains no setup, no indication of a particular Bibliography style. What comes out in the ME looks like apa. Are there style files connected with this system? If so are they accessible for tweaking (I need some rather uncommon Bibliography style, sort of apa-like but different in many details)? 2 The \cite-command turns out just some number in square brackets, no info on what is cited. Is that a bug? 3 In the old system I used \dcite[key] for footnotes but \dcite is not recognized now. Is there another way? Best regards, Robert Blackstone

\setupcaptions question
by j. van den hoff 10 Mar '15

I want to use `numberstopper' for figure caption customization like so: \setupcaptions[numberstopper={:}] this works fine for the caption itself (i.e. I get, e.g. "Figure 1: caption text") _but_ references to the figure via a defined label such as [fig:example] in the body text do include the numberstopper, too, which is highly undesirable in my view, since, e.g., "... see Figure 1: for an example. ..." should rather read "... see Figure 1 for an example. ..." i.e. the numberstopper should be omitted (at least optionally) when referencing. question: how can this be achieved? thx/j

shrink JPGs to some resolution (dpi) ?
by Harald Koenig 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi, so here's my very generic question #1 for my India book: is it possible that context (lua?) will "shrink" all \externalfigure jpegs automatically to some specified dpi resolution and quality (e.g. 300 dpi with 95% jpeg 'quality' for print and 100 dpi and 75% for screen quality) ? since I'm only using Linux, using Acrobat unfortueately is not an option (thanks, Adobe:-( that book will be ~100 A4 pages with ~50% and 50% pictures, trying to have 2 pictures per page with text flowing around. the pictures are JPG photos with quite high resolution, upto 24 Mpixel. so those picutres are HUGE and horrible overkill for a final print on A4 with typical images withs around 0.5\textwith. I know about ghostscript being able to convert/shrink PDFs, but first the "original" PDF with full size JPGs with be really huge, and ghostscript takes ages to shrink them. so that's not real fun doing this too often... right now I write the real typeset size of all images to the log file and use some external script to calculate the current resolution and then create a new set of images which e.g. 300 dpi. but that's still an ugly hack still has some issues with EXIF data, rotation, clipping, ... and right now leads to strage problems (see mext mail;) any hints to read the original large JPGs, but only write "print quality" 300dpi images, or low quaity 75dpi images for speed (and saving net bandwidth when mailing PDFs to co-workers of the group)? thanks, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.

Hello -- and RFH (Request For Help) for privately typesetting a new travelling book
by Harald Koenig 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello ConTeXt users! since I'm new to this list (and the group of context users;) a quick introduction to myself and my current project: I've been using LaTeX since 1986 -- some of you may know me from some TeX meetings (and recently also the context users's meetings -- without really using context so far). in 2009 using LaTeX I typeset a 100 page diary+pictures book about a group tour from our parish to Israel and Jordan. making text flowing around the picutres with LaTeX (in the way I'd like to typeset it) was a real nightmare with LaTeX. so after finishing that project with LaTeX due to severe time constraints, I've used that text to convert it to context and learn a bit how this book can be typeset (much better?) using context -- mostly whenever I met Hans at every tex conference I could et hands on him, and also Willi and other helpers! but the "context-way" Isreal book always remained unfinished or at least unpolished as there was no need (and again no time) to really perfectly finish up. now this happend again: recently I've been traveling through India, again with a group of our parish. and again, there was that idea to make such a nice book like for the Isreal tour. so this time, I'd like to use context instead of latex... BUT, there are still quite some issues where I'll need *your* help to make this really work and get a nice book. I'll try to split up my questions into separate mails, hopefully with small to minimal examples if possible (and if you'd like to get hards on my complete ugly tex code, plesae feel free to ask me!... ;-) so thanks in advance for any advice and help, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.

Hans, I’m afraid that the following sample crashes ConTeXt: \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Error message is the following: tex error > error on line 1 in file /home/ousia/a.tex: ! Undefined control sequence \anch_backgrounds_text_initialize ...ositionsused \enableparpositions \donot... <inserted text> ...erytopofpage \anch_backgrounds_text_initialize \font_preloads_at_start_te... \dostarttext ...ttext \relax \the \everystarttext \global \everystarttext \e... l.1 \dostarttext \ctxcommand #1->\directlua {commands.#1} l.1 \starttext Could you fix this?

Thanks to both of you for pointing this out to me. Up till now I have never used unicode characters the way Idris proposes and I’m not sure that I already have the skills to make it work. For the moment I’m quite happy with the many possibilities that were given by Wolfgang and Hans. Best regards, Robert
