hyperlink bug in \cite
by Alan BRASLAU 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hello, \cite[A] can yield a hyperlink to the bibliography. However, \cite[A,B] does not (and should). I suppose that this could be a bit complicated when using numbered references (rather than Author, year), in the particular case where one collapses the list of numbers, in which case the hyperlink could naturally point to the first numbered reference of the list.

markdown: referencing tables
by Xenia 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Dear context list, I love simple tables in markdown like this one \startmarkdown Right Left Center Default ------- ------ ---------- ------- 12 12 12 12 123 123 123 123 1 1 1 1 Table: Demonstration of simple table syntax. \stopmarkdown Is there a way to reference this table? With \starttabulate (\stoptabulate) tables can be referenced with \placetable, but \placetable just creates another (empty) table in case of a markdown table. Thanks, Xenia

Blanks instead of indented paragraphs
by "H. Özoguz" 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi there, I have here an book, where I want to have empty lines between paragraphs, not only indenting. Of course I could write always ++++ Para 1 \blank Para 2 ++++ but it would be easiest, if empty lines in the editors would be automatically interpreted as "\blank" – and then without indenting of course. How to get that? Regards. Huseyin

float combinations
by Robert Blackstone 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Dear all, I would like to have in my document floats, i.c. musical examples, that basically have the same number, for example, Ex. 3a and Ex. 3b, with text in between and possibly not even on the same page. It seems that it can be done (Wiki-page Command/setupfloatsplitting) but I have no idea how to to accomplish it for figures. Alternatively can one create a combination of two figures but separate the two elements spatially? And if so, how? Thanks in advance for any advice. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

But your correction does not work, too. With your code the font AGaramondPro is not used, and no hanging either (even not with the then used Standard-Font). If I remove [features=default] then again Garamond is used, but still without hanging. It seems very tricky to define these things correctly, at least for me... :) Thanks. Huseyin

Hanging and Protrusion with Typescript
by "H. Özoguz" 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi there, normally I use simplefont, with protrusion and typescript. But Simplefont does not recognize the regular, italic, and bold of AdobeGaramondPro correctly by default. So I tried to work with a typescript definition, and it works - with the exception of hanging (and protrusion?). This is my example: +++++++++++++++++++++++ \enableregime[utf] \starttypescript [serif] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:AGaramondPro-Regular.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:AGaramondPro-Bold.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-Italic.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,12pt] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++ The Font is correctly used by ConText, but no hanging is applied. How to achieve that? Thanks. Huseyin

Unnumbered chapters (title), numbered appendices
by Alan BRASLAU 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hello, I am having difficulties with the use of unnumbered chapters (\title) as well as the use of appendices. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles#Unnumbered_titles_in_table_of_contents gives a few recipes for the use of unnumbered titles and their inclusion in the table of contents. Unfortunately, they do not work! \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead [intro] [number=no] will increment the chapter number, as does \setuphead [title] [incrementnumber=yes,number=no] trying "coupling=no" gives missing number errors (in the toc). Furthermore, placing chapters into \frontmatter and \backmatter might not always be a solution. In a document structured in *parts*, one might want to have an introduction (and other "front matter") as well as conclusions (and other "back matter"). One needs a means of switching section blocks, for example, without resetting everything. Maybe this can become an option in \startfrontmatter [reset=no] \startappendices [reset=no] \startbackmatter [reset=no] for example, or else: \setupsectionblock [appendix] [resetnumber=no] % number=yes|no Another route could be through the use of the *mysterious* structureresetset \definestructureresetset [default] [0,0] [1] % do not reset parts and chapters \setuphead [part,chapter] [sectionresetset=default] coupled somehow to the section blocks.

prezi presentations
by Thomas A. Schmitz 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi all, this is a very far shot, but just maybe... I have been looking at prezi (http://prezi.com/) There's lots of aspects there that don't appeal to me, but I find the general idea very nice: a presentation is sort of a big poster, with some background graphics. You define areas on this poster into which your content goes (so these would be the "slides" in a conventional presentation). When you show your presentation, your viewer will zoom in on these areas and present them full screen, and it will move along a predefined path, thus showing the areas (slides) in a certain order. The nice thing is that you can, at any moment, zoom out and show the entire poster, thus giving an overview of your presentation in which only the bigger elements (headlines etc.) will be readable. Now I was wondering if the same couldn't be done with ConTeXt, pdf and javascript: producing a big pdf with a background image would be fairly easy (metapost's vector graphics would look good at any zoom level). Placing slides with content there could be done via layers. Zooming in and showing certain areas is doable (but obviously would depend on the pdf viewer, especially for the full screen mode). I have no idea if we have support for rotating areas in a pdf viewer. Would javascript be capable of automating this, i.e. defining areas in a pdf, displaying them at a certain zoom level, and move from one area to the next? I think this would be a nice alternative to traditional slide shows. Thomas

White Space after \startalign
by Devendra Ghate 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Dear all, I have noticed a new problem in the \startalign environment recently. \startalign adds whitespace after the formula. If I remove the *\NR* from the last equation then the white space disappears. But I need to keep it for numbering the last equation. In any case, I thought that the last *\NR* is required in the *math align* environment. I remember getting errors for not including the last \NR when I was just starting out with ConTeXt. May be something has changed or my memory is not quite what I thought it was. Please let me know if I am making a silly mistake. Thank you for your time in advance. *MWE* \starttext¬ Some text before the equation.¬ \placeformula¬ \startformula \startalign¬ \NC a \NC= b\NR¬ \NC c \NC= d\NR[eq:trivial]¬ \stopalign \stopformula¬ Some text after the equation.¬ \stoptext¬ Regards, Devendra Ghate

Running heads, American style.
by john Culleton 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Since I spent the better part of two days puzzling over this simple task I thought I would share. The American style for running heads for non-fiction books is to have the current chapter on the left (verso) page and the current section on the right (recto) page. The text for each is near the spine and the page number near the outside edge. The layout must be set doublesided in context. Two commands are pertinent: \setupheader[leftstyle=bold,rightstyle=bold] \setupheadertexts[text][section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] On the actual page spread the chapter title wll be on the laft of the spread and the section title on the right. But the \setupheadertexts command has them reversed. The recto gets described first and then the verso. The manual describes them otherwise. left then right, but it is really right, then left. Also the location parameter (first bracket pair) is mandatory for this kind of header setup. And just putting [] won't work. You have to specify a location. Now old hands will have memorized all these peculiarities long ago. I write this for beginners at the context game, like me. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Math typesetting problems
by Janne Junnila 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Hi all, I've run into a couple of problems with math typesetting. (I'm using the latest ConTeXt standalone beta.) The following doesn't print [x,x] at all: \startformula [x,x]_t = x \stopformula It can be fixed by using \left[x,x\right]_t, but I find the behaviour weird. Another problem I have is related to the positioning of minus signs in front of fractions. I would expect the minus sign to align with the horizontal line of the fraction, as it does on LaTeX. Below is an example formula to illustrate my point. The result seems to be independent of the font in use. \startformula -\frac{e^{\frac{4}{5}}}{4} \stopformula Janne
