> \setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list] > > Wolfgang Thanks Wolfgang, but that does not work here. My minexample: \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=b, list={chapter, section, subject %subsubsection, }] \setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list] \starttext \completecontent \subject{Without number. Should into the toc (there again without number) – but is not.} \section{With number and into the toc. That works.} \stoptext Huseyin

> \subject Thanks Hans. But with "subject" the title is not in the toc, too. If I add subject into \setupcombinedlist, it does not help: \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=b, list={chapter, section, subject %subsubsection, }] How too add \subject (again without number) into the toc correctly?

[***SPAM***] Section without numbering
by "H. Özoguz" 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hello together, thanks for the last quick helpful answers! How can one deactivate numbering (both in the toc and ind the content) for a single section-title manually? In LaTex there is the star-syntax: \section*{Blub}, what is the analogon in Context? Huseyin

Re: [NTG-context] About Hyphenation

So, it seems that this configuration worked (more or less), to avoid: Widows, Orphans, 3 or more consecutive hyphens, and final hyphens. \startsetups[grid][correcto] \setups[*reset] \setpenalties\widowpenalties{1}{10000} \setpenalties\clubpenalties{1}{10000} \stopsetups \doublehyphendemerits=30000 \finalhyphendemerits=30000 \adjdemerits=10000 \brokenpenalty10000\relax Thank you all for your time.

Thanks, Marco. That seems to work with final hyphens. Why this does not work instead?: \setpenalties\brokenpenalties{1}{10000} I have tried both, but your solution works better. Andrés Conrado Montoya

No indentation after macro
by "H. Özoguz" 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

I have defined the following macro: \def\Qur[#1][#2][#3][#4]{\placeongrid{\blank[4pt]\testpage[4] \setupindenting[no] \startalignment[right]\setupalign[r2l]\setupinterlinespace[line=3.7ex]\amiri #1 \stopalignment \blank[4pt] {\bf #2} \wordright{\tfx (Heiliger Qur'an #3:#4)} \blank[3pt]} } How can I setup, that paragraphs after this above block will not be indented? Thanks! Huseyin

footnotes on wrong page
by Alan Bowen 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

What is the setting that forces ConTeXt to keep footnotes on the page where they are called? In the following example, \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupnotation[footnote][interaction=yes,way=bytext] \setupnotation[footnote][split=verystrict] \starttext \dorecurse{50}{some text\footnote{a footnote} } \stoptext the call for note 42 and the note itself are on different pages. I realize that this may be an extreme case, but, regrettably, that is what I have in a review that I am typesetting. Alan

About Hyphenation
by Andres Conrado Montoya 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi List, I am very grateful with you all. Thanks for all the teaching. Sorry if the message is too long. I have read in several places that the commands \doublehyphendemerits and \finalhyphendemerits are not a "real" way of dealing with the design issue of too many hyphens in a row and/or avoiding a hyphen at the end of a page. I have found that \doublehyphendemerits just avoids TWO hyphens in a row, but not three or four, etc., and \finalhyphendemerits just doesn't work. I have read the code, the wiki, the mail list, and the manuals, but with no success yet. I'm working with grid, and using a widow/orphan control macro found here on this list: ******************************************** \setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,lesshyphenation,hz,hanging] \startsetups[grid][correcto] \setups[*reset] \setpenalties\widowpenalties{1}{10000} \setpenalties\clubpenalties{1}{10000} \setpenalties\brokenpenalties{1}{20000} \stopsetups \doublehyphendemerits=20000 \finalhyphendemerits=20000 \setuplayout [backspace=10.3ex, width=62ex, topspace=10.3ex, height=124ex, header=1em, headerdistance=1em, footer=1em, footerdistance=2em, margindistance=1em, grid=yes, setups=correcto] ******************************************** As a book designer, one of my dreams is migrate all my work to ConTeXt, and stop using adobe products; I think ConTeXt is a very good design tool. However, this obstacle is frustrating that dream in part. I know that you may say "this hyphenation issue is a matter of taste! is not important!" but all the publishers I have worked with in the last 15 years have emphasized that rule over and over again. I'm Colombian, so, I design books mainly in spanish, and in spanish editions is a very common rule to avoid more than 2 hyphens in a row. I understand that there are similar rules in french, and I have read some discussions about it, but mostly the thread finishes with something similar to "use ragged right align and forget hyphens" (see http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg68899.html) So, questions are: 1. Is there any definitive way of avoiding 2 or more hyphens on a row AND hyphens at the end of a page? 2. If is not, and it seems that is not (see http://latex-community.org/know-how/latex/55-latex-general/475-e-tex#line-b…) how do you manage? Do you just let hyphens be? Do you avoid hyphens using \unhyphenated or \mbox by hand? No problem, if it's the standard solution, but I think there should be some mechanism to avoid (n+) hyphens on a row, something like \maxadjhyphens[2]. Is this impossible / too difficult? If it is, I'm sorry for bothering you. I just really want to work with ConTeXt. I have done a couple books for myself, to learn, but I want to take this into production, and this single issue, so insignificant you may see it, is very important for me, and I'm sure that other designers would find it very important too. Thank you all for your time. Andrés Conrado Montoya

INstalling the context version of TeX distro.
by john Culleton 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Normally I just use TeXlive as my TeX distro for Context as well as everything else. However I thought I would play with the Context version for educational purposes. It is perhaps more up to date than TeXlive 2013. I downloaded the zip file and unzipped it. Now what? Also I copied the zip file to my Windows partition (currently XP but I can up it to Win 7 if desirable for Context. I have both XP and Win 7 install disks.) Again I need install directions. If there is an up-to-date guide to this process just give me its name. Thanks in advance. -- 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
