How to typeset the titlepage and its verso in ConTeXt?
by Tim Li 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

I try to typeset the titlepage and its verso using ConTeXt, but it always generate an empty page on the right if facing. \setupinteraction [state=stop, title=Life in These Days, author=Tim Li] \setupinteractionscreen [option=doublesided] \usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \setuppagenumbering [location={footer,middle}, alternative=doublesided] \setupmakeup [standard] [pagestate=start] \starttext \startfrontmatter % titlepage \startmakeup[standard] %[doublesided=no] \vskip2in \midaligned{\switchtobodyfont[36pt]\bf Life in These Days} \vfill \midaligned{\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\bf Tim Li} \blank[medium] \midaligned{\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\bf January 11, 2013} \stopmakeup % its verso \startmakeup[standard] %[page=no] This document was typeset by using \CONTEXT. \vfill \stopmakeup % dedication % preface % contents \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter % \stopbodymatter \stoptext If add [doubesided=no] to the first \startmakeup[standard] that produce the titlepage, it will produce a page with page number 2 at the right of the titlepage and the verso of this titlepage will be the next page following page 2. That's not what I want. How to set the options of the \startmakeup so that I can typeset the titlepage with its verso just after it. If so, when the document is printed, the titlepage and its verso will be presented on the same paper like that in the ConTeXt manual(if printed, the tiltepage and its verso of the manual will be on the same paper).

And how to center the complete table on the page? Now I see that \JustCenter does not really center: \starttext \starttable[|l|c|l|] \NC {\bf Column 1} \VL {\bf Column 2} \VL {\bf Column 3} \SR \HL \THREE\JustCenter \it Natürliche Methoden \SR \NC First entry \VL short entry \VL looooooooooooooogn entry \AR \stoptable \stoptext You can see, that "Natürliche Methoden" is not correctly centered. For my purpose, it would be indeed not best to center it with respect to the complete row of the table, but with respect to the middle-column (second one) only. So that "Natürliche Methoden" is directly centered above "short entry". Howto? Thanks. Huseyin

the difference between \def and \define
by Tim Li 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

In plain TeX, we always use \def for creating a new macro, but in ConTeXt, sometimes it won't work, especially when making own chapter titles. The \def can produce the error message like this : "Argument of \... has an extra }". \define in ConTeXt can solve this problem. What's the difference between \def and \define? Can I use \define to replace all \def?

select TOC elements
by Meer, H. van der 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

With \placecontents I am able to put the TOC for a chapter right after the chapter heading. So far so good. But now I would like to suppress in the overall TOC all elements below the chapters. How to? At the moment I am using \completecontent for calling up the TOC. I looked in the ConTeXtGarden but the explanation for \completecontent didn't make me any wiser.For example, I do not understand the meaning of the three successive []-pairs in \completecontent[..][..][..] and the link to \setuplist didn't help me out.

how to clear the header and footer in some page?
by Tim Li 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

I have set the header and footer in the setup area, so it will occur in every page unless clearing them. In some pages, for example, the page of dedication that the header and footer shouldn't occur there, how can I clear them in pages like this ? Best regards.

Sadness from a Windows ConTeXt user
by Tim Li 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

I have asked Hans about this problem two days ago, but now the problem still. I make sure that my context standalone is the lastest. I download the "context-setup-mswin.zip" from the ConTeXt wiki and extract it to the D:\, double-clicking the firstsetup.bat. When it finish the rest, I add "D:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin" to User Path. Can this get the lastest ConTeXt standalone? I think it can. But when I input "context" in the "cmd", it always tell me this error messages: d:\>context contextmtxrun | forcing cache reload resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'C:/Users/peng/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/' from specification 'selfautoloc:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/' from specification 'selfautodir:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/../texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/../texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/' from specification 'selfautoparent:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'context.lua' mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' d:\> I am only a newbie in ConTeXt so I don't know how to solve this problem.
