ToC - right-alignment of roman numerals
by honyk 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Dear All, in fresh MkIV I use the following commands for building ToC, but I have no idea how to align the label (roman numeral) to the right. In addition, the specified width and distance seem to be somehow ignored so that label interferes with the title. \setuphead[chapter][conversion=Romannumerals] \setupheadnumber[chapter][48] \setupcombinedlist[content][ alternative=c, distance=1em, width=3cm, ] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Foo} \chapter{Bar} \stoptext Here is the link with several screenshots of desired formatting: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/69559/align-the-roman-numbers-of-the- parts-in-toc Any hint is appreciated. Thanks, Jan

Centered title with numeration on the same line
by honyk 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Dear All, in MkIV when any title is centered, its numeration is placed on a separate line above the title itself. I'd expect inline formatting which could be overridden as described here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles My code: \setuplabeltext[en][chapter=Chapter~] % while for chapter title this line break is handy (in my use case) \setuphead[chapter][ alternative=middle, style=\bfc, conversion=Romannumerals, numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\cap}{\blank[0.5cm]}, after={\blank[1cm]}, ] % for section it is inappropriate \setuphead[section][ alternative=middle, style=\bfa, sectionsegments=section, % ignore component label ] \starttext \chapter{Foo} \section{The First Section} Text. \stoptext How can I keep numeration and title together? Thanks, Jan

Including a large SVG image
by Sander Maijers 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hi, I have a few SVG graphics of multiple megabytes. They contain a lot of objects (text/shapes). All graphics except for one gets properly included in my ConTeXt document. In place of the failed one there the gray placeholder box with 'status unknown'. I noticed that ConTeXt uses Inkscape to convert these SVGs to PDF. Is there a way in which I can increase the timeout for this conversion process? That is just a guess, maybe the problem is due to something else. Best, Sander

character spacing for guillemets in English
by Alan Bowen 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Is there a global way to insert a very thin (ca 1pt) unbreakable space before a right guillemet and after a left guillemet when the main language and character spacing are English, so that “«” and “»” in my source file are processed properly? The font that I am using puts them too close to the enclosed characters (typically, Greek). Basically, I need to borrow the French spacing for these two characters but have not been able to figure out how to do this from the ConTeXt source files. Alan

How to place page numbers in the margin, at the bottom of the "text" area?
by Marcin Borkowski 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hi everybody, I'd like to position page numbers in the margin, at the bottom, but *not* in the footer; instead, I want them to be aligned so that their baseline coincides with the baseline of the last line on the page. Is it possible, and if yes, how? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski room B3-46, phone no +48 61 829 5375 http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Two questions about registers
by Marcin Borkowski 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

Hi list, I have two questions regarding registers. 1. How to change the title of the register (placed by \completeregister) and its numbering style? (Assume that e.g. I want it to be an unnumbered section and not a numbered chapter.) 2. I'd like my register not to have the headers with subsequent letters of the alphabet. I did [indicator=no] in \setupregister, but still got the *vertical spacing* between gropus of entries beginning with the same letter. Then, I did also [before={}], but then the space between entry groups is actually *smaller* than the usual interline space (confirmed by doing \showgrid). What should I do to prevent this from happening? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

MAC (preview, finder) and ConTeXt pdf
by Alan BRASLAU 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hello, A colleague who uses a very recent MacBook with the latest MacOS has a problem with PDF files that I provide produced with ConTeXt/luatex. It appears that he cannot search for words (text) in the document, neither with preview nor in the finder (they must be based on the same code). However, I had him install Adobe Reader, and using this he can search for text in the ConTeXt produced document, so I do not believe that the PDF has a problem, rather this is a bug with the Apple PDF tools. Does anyone else using MacOS have any experience with this? Or can you all search for text (words) within ConTeXt produced PDF documents using preview and the finder? Thank you Alan

Enclosing the year in round brackets in online citation.
by Thomas Friedrich 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hello, A question to the \cite command. Following, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography I defined \def\onlinecite{\cite[left=,right=]} so that I can cite bib-entries online in the text. However, I need to enclose the year of a citation in round-brackets. At the moment, I get: Jon Doe, 2013, has shown that... But I need: Jon Doe (2013) has shown that..., as this is required. I couldn't find any reference what I can do with \cite and what possibilities there are. Any idea? Thank you for your help. Thomas

Thanks Khaled, very sad, it is very nice. You can find it here in action: http://quranflash.com/quranflash.html (But not as typed font, only pictures I think). Ok, doesn't matter, if impossible, then impossible. Next question: With the font file "maddina.ttf" I have the same problems. But this font is clearly not broken, you can download it here: http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/quran-madina.htm (or see attachment of this mail). But is the problem here? Huseyin

Hi there, I cant run the font "ramnaclq-webfont.ttf" (see attachment) in Context. After the command "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" and "mtxrun --script font --list --all ramna" I get: > ramnaclassiqueregular ramnaclassique c:/windows/fonts/ramnaclq-webfont.ttf So the font is installed, correct?

question about the layer.
by Jeong Dal 28 May '13

28 May '13

Dear Wolfgang, I read your detailed explanation about the difference between "overlay" and "layer". Here is your sample code using layer. \starttext \definelayer[test] \setlayer[test][x=3cm,y=6cm]{ONE} \setlayer[test][x=8cm,y=2cm]{TWO} \setlayer[test][x=2cm,y=9cm]{THREE} \flushlayer[test] \stoptext It shows ONE, TWO, and THREE in the same page. I'd like to show each word one by one when I click, so I tested the following code. \setupinteraction[state=start] \usemodule[pre-60] \starttext \definelayer[test1] \definelayer[test2] \definelayer[test3] \setlayer[test1][x=3cm,y=6cm]{ONE} \setlayer[test2][x=8cm,y=2cm]{TWO} \setlayer[test3][x=2cm,y=9cm]{THREE} \StartSteps \flushlayer[test1] \FlushStep \flushlayer[test2] \FlushStep \flushlayer[test3] \FlushStep \StopSteps \stoptext This code produces 3 page output one word per each page. There is no need to click the mouse. I may misunderstand about the layer. However, is there a way to show each word one by one in the same page when I click. Best regards, Thank you. Dalyoung

Adjust font size to cell height in natural table

Bibliography: spacing in cite, lettering of repeated years
by Steve Frank 25 May '13

25 May '13

I am just starting with the bibliography module and ran the following test: \cite[authoryear,left=(yes: ,right=; Rk)][frank98foundations] here, \cite[author][frank98foundations], then \cite[year][frank98foundations], then \cite{otrosina88isozyme,frank91ecological,frank98foundations,abraham82dynamics:} said and then { \cite[otrosina88isozyme]} commented and then \cite{abraham82dynamics:} With my setup, that gave: (yes: Frank 1998; Rk) here, Frank, then 1998, then (Otrosina et al. 1988; Frank 1991c,1998; Abraham and Shaw 1982) said and then (Otrosina et al. 1988) commented and then (Abraham and Shaw 1982) I give more on setup below. My three issues: 1. The space after the period in "et al." stretches, which does not look right. I tried modifying the "otherstext" field in various ways, but could not get a working solution. Any advice? 2. With the "compress" option on for authoryears, the dates 1991c,1998 are correctly combined in the second set, but I would like a space as "1991c, 1998" instead of "1991c,1998". 3. The citations listed here are all of the ones in the current document. The date 1991c should be 1991, without a letter, because there is neither 1991a nor 1991b. Is there a way to get consistent letter of repeated years, such that no letter is present without repeat, and the letters are given in the order in which they appear in the text? --- I am new to ConTeXt, and started by copying someone else' environment. Here are the relevant parts: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={main}] \setuppublications [alternative=apa, sorttype=bbl, refcommand=authoryears, criterium=text, numbering=no] \setupcite [year] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ and }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={}, right={}] \setupcite [author] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ and }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={}, right={}] \setupcite [authoryears] [pubsep={; }, % otherstext={ et al. }, % cannot get that to work % \c!otherstext={ et al.}, lastpubsep={; }, compress=yes, inbetween={ }, left={(}, right={)}] Steve
