Hi, I'm beginning with ConTeXt. With the code below, the outpout pdf file shows space symbols between the three words of the title (cf. attached file): ---------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[11pt] \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \setMPtext {1} {C'est le titre} \startMPcode pickup pencircle scaled .5mm ; pair a; a :=(0.2cm,.5cm); label.rt("\MPtext {1}",a); draw (0cm,0cm)--(8cm,0cm); draw (8cm,0cm)..(8.15cm,0.08cm)..(8.2cm,0.18cm); draw (8.2cm,0.18cm)--(8.7cm,1.7cm); \stopMPcode \stoptext ---------------------------------------- How can I avoid these symbols?

Figures and Lua (continuing "Number of pages by Lua of a figure to be inserted?" somehow)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, I tried to make a "more minimal" example. Still we have: files: ./t3.mkiv ./T/Kn.pdf and code: ---- \startluacode test = function(fn) local fig = figures.push{name = fn} if figures.identify().status.status ~= 0 then figures.check() end figures.pop() return fn .. ": " .. (fig.used.pages or "?") .. "\\par" end \stopluacode \starttext AAA \startluacode context(test("T/Kn.pdf")) -- Found - OK context(test("Kn.pdf")) -- Not found - OK \stopluacode \setupexternalfigures[directory=T] \startluacode context(test("Kn.pdf")) -- Not found (or unknown number of pages) - UNEXPECTED - why? ("3rd call") \stopluacode \externalfigure[Kn.pdf][scale=625] % Found - OK \stoptext ---- The 3rd call of 'test()' seems to not locate 'Kn.pdf' although the path was altered by preceding \setupexternalfigures. How to modify the 'test()' to work properly even in the 3rd case? NB: Sorry for repeating the topic "in another coat" - it may not be so interesting for listeners of this mailing list. But the goal is to add figures and PDF files into the document automatically. One of the tasks is to detect number of pages of the figure. The code above is a core cut out; it should work (or: if this part wouldn't work, neither would the rest) even in the 3rd case. Any help to make the piece of code work would be appreciated.

[***SPAM***] Title of figure not below the figure, but on the right side
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

I usually use: \startplacefigure [title=Some very explanative title.] \externalfigure[tollesbild][width=2cm] \stopplacefigure And this sets the title under the figure, perfect for me in general. But now I have a figure, where the (pretty long) title-text should be on the right side, how to get this? Huseyin

Deactivating gridsetting for TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi there, thanks for the many helps today, again! Because I use different font sizes for the titles in the TOC (depending on the title-level), I have problems with grid-setting. It makes sometimes blank lines between two titles in the toc. I understand that behaviour, it is because of the different sizes. Instead of involved testings with different sizes and vertical spaces, can I simply switch off the grid-setting for the toc? That would be the easiest. I tried \placeongrid{\completecontent}, and that works, no more blank lines. But now the complete toc is set on one page only, but the toc is much to big for only one page, so it is set beyong the page buttom, and disappears in the pdf-nirvana :D Is there a feature/option "grid" for toc in \completecontent or anything like that? Thanks. Huseyin

Bug in the latest beta
by Jannik Voges 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello ConTeXt-Users, I have found a bug, when using \writetolist: \starttext \writetolist[chapter]{}{test} \stoptext That gives an error, but changing the list to a not predefined list doesn't. For example \definelist[chapter1] \starttext \writetolist[chapter1]{}{test} \stoptext Thanks Jannik

Joinedup itemization with margin
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi there, I want a joined itemization (I just want no empty lines between two items, is this what "joinedup" means?) with a margin on the left side, so that the complete itemization is indented. My try is this: ++++++++++++++++++ \starttext \startitemize[joinedup] \item First enumeration. \item Second. \item Third. \stopitemize \startitemize[joinedup, margin=1em] \item First enumeration. \item Second. \item Third. \stopitemize \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++ The first example is without indentation, its fine. But the second example does not work properly, it makes the indentation, but ignores the joinedup, so that one has again empty lines between items. I think "joinedup" is the wrong feature, which is the correct one for my purpose? Huseyin

How to change the color of numbers just before the footnote text?
by Tim Li 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Now I have to change the color of numbers just before the footnote text so that it can match the color of text area. I try to do it like this: \def\myfootnotecolor#1{% \startcolor[red]#1\stopcolor} \setupfootnotes [numbercommand={\myfootnotecolor}] or \setupfootnotes [foregroundcolor=red] either method has no effect.

Overlapping \starthanging \stophanging with side captions
by Peter Sienkowski 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi, I'm trying to have extra explanatory text on the side of figures that is not part of the figure's caption. I can get a single figure to work but am having problems when there are multiple figures one after the other. I'm new to ConTeXT and have looked at the Details Manual but have not been able to fix this. I've been using something like: \starthanging{ \placefigure[force][fig:first]{Caption 1} {\externalfigure[first-figure][width=\textwidth]}} \inother[width=5cm]{Some text for the other bit} \stophanging \starthanging{ \placefigure[force][fig:first]{Caption 2} {\externalfigure[second-figure][width=\textwidth]}} \inother[width=5cm]{Some text for the other bit 2} \stophanging and the two figures will overlap. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks Pete

[***SPAM***] Changing the font of the TOC-Title
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, I know, that I can change the TOC-Title by \setupheadtext[content=Whatever the TOC-Title may be] How can I change the Font of the TOC-Title, is there a style key, or somewhat like that? (Directly "\setupheadtext[content=Whatever the TOC-Title may be, style=Chapterstyle]" does not work, where "Chapterstyle" is a defined Font) Huseyin

strange index behaviour with entries inside separatedlist
by WolfgangZ 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hello, I get wrong list entries when using my register entries inside separate lists. Example case included, even if it is a bit longer. For explanation, I have two lists, the correct index is in section 1.2 in the attached example and printed on page 3 (see test.pdf). The one that causes trouble is set in section 1.3 (green table) and printed on page 5. There the index links to page 4 instead of page 1, on which the entry is placed. The example gets more strange, as the wrong index entries only occurs if there is no regular text below the table in section 1.3. For testing you can uncomment line 70 in file test.tex. I hope anyone can help to explain that functionality. Best regards Wolfgang
