Re: [NTG-context] table formatting mystery
by Lance Larsen 30 Apr '13

Thankyou luigi. The suggestion provided below worked. I wish I understood why context thought that a cell height to two rows were needed, but the combination of \hbox and alignment of lohi is a reasonable workaround. -Lance On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 5:02 PM, Lance Larsen <lance.c.larsen at gmail.com <http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context> > wrote: > I created the following table, but I am running into a mysterious > problem.

Draw a line below the header texts
by Tim Li 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

Hi, now I need a line below the header text to seperate the header texts from the text area. I have't soloved this problem, have to ask for help (the method from google doesn't work any more. This new one is from Aditya, but still has some problem that I don't know how to deal with) \setuplayout [header=\lineheight, headerdistance=\lineheight, footer=\lineheight, footerdistance=\lineheight] \setuppagenumbering [location=, alternative=doublesided] \definepagebreak [chapterpagebreak] [yes,header,footer,right] \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\it\pagenumber}] \setuphead [chapter] [style=\bfc, header=empty, footer=chapterstart, page=chapterpagebreak] \setupheader [style=\it] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[sectionnumber]\hskip1em\getmarking[section][first]}] [pagenumber] [{Chapter~\getmarking[chapternumber]\hskip1em\getmarking[chapter]}] [pagenumber] \setupbackgrounds [header][text] [bottomframe=on] \starttext \chapter{First Chapter} this is the first chapter \section{section 1} \page \section{section 2} the second page of the first chapter \page \section{section 3} the third page of the first chapter \chapter{Second Chapter} this is the second chapter \section{section 1} \page \section{section 2} the second page of the second chapter \stoptext The rule shouldn't be above the chapter head ``1 First Chapter" at page 1 and page 4 should be true empty, since it is just before Chapter 2 and has no contents. Of course, I hope that I can solve these two problems by myself, but ... I really need some help from you. Best regards, Tim

How do you customize the chapter number format?
by Lance Larsen 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

I am trying to update the chapter number formatting for the chapter heading. By default the numbering is like 1 First Chapter 1.1 First Section I would like to change this to: 1.0 First Chapter 1.1 First Section Adding the following command worked, except it did not change the numbering in the table of contents: \setuphead[chapter][numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{.0\blank[2cm]}] Any suggestions for how I change the numbering so that the 1.0 shows up in the table of contents as well? -Lance Larsen

Thank you. How can I make this change in our ConTeXt installations? As noted previously, the only place I could find a mention of / for i=1 upto NOfTextColumns-1/ was in some code that was already commented out. So I don't know how I would comment it out any more effectively than that. > Hans > > ps. sometimes there is some specific test code that then depends on > other experimental code being present > > ps. in mkiv it's all redone anyway and i will redo columnsets one of > these days too; Jut to make sure it's clear, I'm running ConTeXt with mkiv.

space before and after headlines
by Jan Heinen 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

I want to create a macro for headlines. - before the headline there should be a big space - after it a small space - when the headline is at the beginning of the page there shouls be no space before the headline. A workaround could be this - although it's not very comfortable: \starttext {bf Headline 1} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \blank[2*big] {bf Headline 2} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \blank[2*big] {bf Headline 3} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \stoptext Greetings Jannis

[luatex-fonts] non-ascii filenames in font cache
by Philipp Gesang 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Hi Hans, the font cache currently drops non-ascii bytes when creating file names by means of containers.cleanname(). Dohyun Kim sent a fix for data-con.lua (see below). My own test with the unicode library leads to some odd results. Also I noticed that as a pattern, [^%w%d] is a bit redundant since %d is a subset of %w in both string and unicode.utf8. Regards Philipp #!/usr/bin/env texlua local non_ascii_names = { [[华文仿宋.ttf]], [[华文细黑.ttf]], [[华文黑体.ttf]], } --- [a]: current data-con --- [b]: include non-ascii (proposed by Dohyun Kim) --- [c]: with selene unicode for i = 1, #non_ascii_names do local name = non_ascii_names[i] print"" print("[a]", name, string.gsub(string.lower(name), "[^%w%d]+","-")) print("[b]", name, string.gsub(string.lower(name), "[^%w%d\128-\255]+","-")) print("[c]", name, unicode.utf8.gsub(unicode.utf8.lower(name), "[^%w%d]+","-")) end

codefolding with Kate or Kwrite

Hello, is someone else using the editors kate and kwrite? Code-highlighting is working. What I need ist code-folding for ConTeXt. Is this possible? I have huge makros with lots of \doif ... \else ... \fi and it is hard to "surf" through the code. What else would be nice: auto-indentation ... marking all the code and let kwrite/kate do the job to indent. Regards Janis

How to center with picture taken into consideration
by Cecil Westerhof 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

I keep bugging the list. ;-) I center some text on a place where I also place a picture on the right site. Is it possible to center on the part that is not taken up by the picture? The picture is placed with: \definelayer[picture][ preset=righttop, width=\textwidth, ] \setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[graphics/pasfoto]} \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture] \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] To make things a little more complicated, the placing of the picture is conditional. So it is not always done. -- Cecil Westerhof

Hyphenation documentation
by Sietse Brouwer 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hello all, I've just pulled together some questions of mine and their answers, and written them up into a hyphenation Q&A. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Hyphenation http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definebreakpoint Unfortunately, there are still some holes in the documentation I wrote. Questions I still have, and which I now pose to the list: 1. how do I protect a single instance of a word against hyphenation? Does ConTeXt, like LaTeX, use \hbox{myfragileword}, or something different? 2. In the command \definebreakpoint, what do these keys do? I can't get them to do anything (MWE below) ** left ** middle ** right 3. Is there perhaps a bug in breakpoints of type 2 and 3. (MWE below.) The key 'type' seems to control where hyphens appear. If 1 is a hyphenation character of type 1, etc, this is the observed behaviour (`/` is the linebreak): ...1...1 / ... ...2... / 2-... % I would expect: ...2... / -2... ...3...-3 / ... % I would expect: ...3...3- / ... ...4...4 / 4... ...... / ... % breakpoint of type 5 just disappears If this behaviour is not a bug: is there a way to set a breakpoint X that produces ...X...X- / ...?

Why does startlines not work in a function
by Cecil Westerhof 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I have the following code: \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines I wanted to put this in a function. So I wrote: \def\Foo{ \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines } But then the text becomes one line instead of several lines. So I had to rewrite it to: \def\FooTwo{ \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment } I called it first Foo2, but that worked havoc on Foo. -- Cecil Westerhof

How to know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter?
by Tim Li 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Sometimes, it is convenient if I know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter. when desinging a book, we make a new chapter open at a right page and design the header to show the chapter title and pagenumber. We have to set the pagenumber at the page where a chapter title is located. \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}]\setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart] if this book consists of a frontmatter and a backmatter, I have to set the text for the titles in frontmatter and chapters in bodymatter like this, for roman pagenumber in frontmatter. \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \definetext [titlestart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\romannumerals\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [title] [footer=titlestart]\stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart]\stopsectionblockenvironment so, is there a command to make me know if I am in frontmatter or bodymatter? if so, I can use only one command to achieve that setup \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\ifinfrontmatter ... \else ... \fi\hfill}] regards, Tim
