endnotemarkers
by Meer, H. van der 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

With the following setup my endnotes show up in the list with [number], as I would like to have it. But in the text they do not appear as [number] but just as plain numbers. Why does textcommand has not this effect, whereas numbercommand does? The manual strongly suggest this to me. \def\fnmarker#1{[#1]} \setupnotation[endnote][numbercommand=\fnmarker,textcommand=\fnmarker] Hans van der Meer

Non-breaking spaces
by "H. Özoguz" 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

For typographical fine-tuning one needs often non-breaking spaces. But not only full spaces, but half spaces, or even less. I have this example: and\hskip1pt/or But \hskip1pt is not non-breaking, like "\," (half space) is. How to make it non-breaking? Or are there predfined ones, analog to \, ? Huseyin

footnoterule
by Meer, H. van der 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Is there a reason why the first does switches off the rule above the footnote \setupfootnotes[rule=off] but this doesn't? \setupnotation[footnote][rule=off]] Just try with \setupnotation[footnote][rule=off] % either this or the next one %\setupfootnotes[rule=off] \starttext Some footnote\footnote{The foonote}.\crlf \stoptext Hans van der Meer

typesetting TOC
by Meer, H. van der 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

I am very sorry, but I still cannot understand how to get the TOC as I would like it. The following does typeset the Content header but is empty otherwise. \startfrontmatter \completelist[content][criterium=chapter] \stopfrontmatter I tried various possibilities from the reference manual, like \placelist[section][criterium=chapter]. But either this doesn't work (anymore?) or I am doing something very stupid. But these call do nothing. It seems so simple: use the \complete.. mechanism (because this wraps the TOC nicely) to typeset a selection from the TOC using the criterium-mechanism. Which seems to me just made for this sort of action. But nothing comes out of it. Hans van der Meer

bodyfont size in margin?
by Meer, H. van der 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

I would like to have the same font and especially the same size for inmargin texts. Why is the following program not honouring the size setting? % Font in margin text \def\MarkMaster{\inmargin[location=left]{{\switchtobodyfont[sans,8pt]\red MASTER SECTION}}} \starttext \startchapter[title=\MarkMaster test title] \input tufte \MarkMaster \input tufte \blank contextversion=\contextversion \stopchapter \stoptext Hans van der Meer

How to find the source code/documentation for a specific command
by contact＠thomas-corbiere.name 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hello ConTeXt list, I am a new user of ConTeXt and I am trying to write my very first document with this program. However, it is often difficult to find explanation about commands and their options. Most of the documentation and examples seems outdated or incomplete... I know that you are currently writing a new version of the manuals and that it is a time consuming task so before I plague you with questions I may have, I would like to know how to find the source code of a command (which may include embedded documentation). For example how can I find the source file for the \setupinteraction command? (I am using ConTeXt on Windows.). If I can find more information by myself I will not have to take too much of your time. Regards, Thomas Corbière

Detecting reference-errors
by "H. Özoguz" 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

With \at[ref] one can get the pagenumber of a reference. If this reference is not there (maybe in another file, not included at that moment) there is no error given, but two question marks ??. That is of course useful, but what if I WANT an error? Because that is the only fast way to detect typing errors in references. Else I will have ?? at the end in the book, not very nice Huseyin P.S.: Sorry for the other Mail with the wrong sender-adress.
