[***SPAM***] Location of reference
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

I've looked through about five context documents and the wiki, but can't find any good usage documentation for the \setupnotation macro. I've found specific examples of use, but not a complete usage description such as below which explains what options are available. \setupnotation[...][...=...] I'd like read what parameters it covers.

[***SPAM***] Symbols for footnotes not working
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

>From ConTeXt's Wiki Garden the below should work, but it isn't. How can this be accomlished. I want to use just \dagger for the symbol, but any symbol would do. \definesymbol[4]{\dagger] \starttext \defineconversion[dagger][{\dagger},{\dagger}] % use a \dagger for the footnote. \setupfootnotes[conversion=set dagger,location=text] This is the dagger, \dagger{} I want to use for reference\footnote{Will the dagger appear}. A second line here for robustness.\footnote{It's a number still.} \stoptext -------------------------------- end of example Also I could find no explanations for what a set is, as in conversion=set 1 or 2 or 3 etc. What is set 1 or 2 or 3? Regards.

Different Horizontal Lines with Tabulate
by Malte Stien 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello, I have a table in which I have to group a number of rows together. Let's say I have a table with two columns, the first is an item ID and the second a multi-line description for that item. Say I have ten items in the table and I need to group Item 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 and so on. Due to the description being quite lengthy in some cases, I would like to use some sort of horizontal rule between items. It seems I have to following options: 1. Using horizontal rules of two different thicknesses (eg. thicker between groups and thinner between items within the same group) 2. Using horizontal rules of two different colour (eg. black between groups and a light grey between items within the same group) 3. Using horizontal rules of different lengths (that is, full length between groups and only in the second column between items within the same group) Are any of the above possible with tabulate? I could not find anything to achieve any of those. I am quite used to tabulate as my table framework, so I would prefer to use that. If that's not possible however, I'd be happy to use something else. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte.

A thinner hrule for headers
by Thomas Kreuzer 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello everyone, I'd like to know if it is possible to get a thinner hrule in headers (mkiv). Right now I am using \setupheader[after=\hrule] replacing hrule with thinrule or hairline results in space below the header text and the line, and the line actually spans two lines. How can I control the thickness of the line, I remember having read something about using frames, but I can't find the post anymore. Thanks in advance, and regards, Thomas

new beta
by Hans Hagen 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi, The uploaded beta has marco's ugs fixed (minus one) plus some (less important) pending issues in test files. The main change is that the root setup commands of enumerations, notes, formulas, floats, etc can now be used to set up the counters (was only possible by explicit setups e.g. per float).

\startpagefigure[]\stoppagefigure enlarges page by 1 mm
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hello, \startpagefigure[...] ... \stoppagefigure enlarges page by 1 mm in both directions. This is an undesired effect as when the printer has auto-select-page mode on (which is useful when printing a document with mixed A4 and A3 pages) and an A4 page (210 x 297 mm) is enlarged to 211 x 298, the printer doesn't (auto)choose A4 but a nearest BIGGER page (8.5 x 13 in page in my case). Try the code: ---- t.mkiv \starttext \startpagefigure[A4.pdf]\stoppagefigure \stoptext ---- Is that a wanted behavior? How to avoid enlarging the inserted page? TIA.

List of bugs and quirks
by Marco Patzer 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hi Hans, > maybe after the current is made (which happens sometime within the > next two weeks) > > best make sure that we have no serious bugs (experimental features apart) I think it's better to start a new thread for this issue. I maintain a small list of bugs and quirks which I would like to share. I don't know if the issues are considered bugs or not. I posted most of them to the mailing list at some point, but AFAIK they have not been fixed for whatever reason. Usually there are simple workarounds or I have some code which fixes the issue. Others are still unresolved.

userpagenumber
by Thomas A. Schmitz 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hi, shouldn't this work? \setupuserpagenumber[number=34] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\userpagenumber \page} \stoptext I must admit that I'm pretty confused about pagenumbering; there are too many options of \setup...pagenumber and \setup...pagenumbering for my simple brain now, and I often don't know which is supposed to do what. All best Thomas
