Hello, is it possible to define a start-stop command to hide text within? Something like: \definestartstop[Hidden][before=\starthiding,after=\stophiding] TIA. Lukas -- Ing.

Nabla operator appears italic in formula
by Xenia 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Dear context list, using the nabla symbol ∇ in formulas, I wondered why it looks italic and not upright as for example in [1]. I attach an example. Thanks, Xenia [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabla_symbol

setupinterlinespace in \startquotation\stopquotation
by Alan BRASLAU 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Hello, It can be quite common to typeset long quotations in a smaller typeface. The following minimal example is somewhat problematic: ------------------------------------------------------ \setupquotation [style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace] \starttext \startquotation \input tufte \input tufte \input tufte \stopquotation \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------ The interline spacing is wrong for the last paragraph. Adding a \par in the input before \stopquotation puts the right quotation closing mark on a newline. I suppose that the common practice is *not* to use explicit quotation marks when typesetting such long quotations in smaller typeface. In this case, setting left=,right= and explicitly putting a \par would work. However, if one wants to have quotation marks, this is no good. And placing an explicit \par is not very elegant, either. Nor does it seem that \switchtobodyfont[] does any better. Maybe the solution is simple but I have not found it... Alan

setupquotation and setupquote
by Alan BRASLAU 24 Mar '13

24 Mar '13

Hello, quotation is linked to quote. Indeed, we have in typo-del.mkiv \definedelimitedtext [\v!quote][\v!quotation] However, when the user then changes options using \setupquotation, \startquote\stopquote also gets modified. In the minimal example below, it is necessary to uncomment \setupquote in order to restore normal quote text. I believe that this to be a bug (and not a feature). \setupquotation [style=slanted] %\setupquote [style=normal] \starttext Tufte: \startquotation \input tufte \stopquotation Ward: \startquote \input ward \stopquote \stoptext

Hi, how can I set individual offsets for the background, similar to loffset, roffset, etc.? \defineframedtext [foo] [frame=off, offset=none, backgroundoffset=1cm, %% backgroundloffset=1cm, %% there is no backgroundloffset background=screen] \starttext %% backgroundoffset is applied on all four sides \startfoo \input ward \stopfoo \input knuth %% this is what I'm aiming for \startnarrower [-1cm] \startfoo [backgroundoffset=0cm, loffset=1cm] \input ward \stopfoo \stopnarrower \stoptext Marco

different page background for chapter title page
by Thomas A. Schmitz 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi all, I'm sure there must be a solution for this, but I haven't been able to find it yet: I want my chapter titles typeset in a sort of frame which will span the entire page, not only the text area, so I guess the easiest way to do that would be a page background. How can I set up a background that will appear only on the title page, in addition to the regular background? Bonus question: I also want the color schemes of both backgrounds to be different in every chapter, so the solution should make this possible. The example is a bit silly, but it shows what I'm looking for, I hope. Thanks, and all best Thomas \setuplayout [header=0cm, topspace=1.625cm, footer=0cm, width=fit, height=fit] \definecolor [color:background] [r=0.86,g=0.61,b=0.54] \definecolor [color:title] [r=0.91,g=0.75,b=0.7] \startuseMPgraphic{background:normal} StartPage ; numeric h ; h = 10mm ; z[1] = ulcorner Page ; z[2] = urcorner Page ; z[3] = z[2] shifted (0, -h) ; z[4] = z[1] shifted (0, -h) ; path p ; p = z[1] -- z[2] -- z[3] -- z[4] -- cycle ; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{color:background} ; StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [background:normal] [\useMPgraphic{background:normal}] \startuseMPgraphic{background:title} StartPage ; numeric h ; h = 10mm ; z[1] = ulcorner Page shifted (0, -1.5*h) ; z[2] = urcorner Page shifted (0, -1.5*h); z[3] = z[2] shifted (0, -h) ; z[4] = z[1] shifted (0, -h) ; path p ; p = z[1] -- z[2] -- z[3] -- z[4] -- cycle ; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{color:title}; StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [background:title] [\useMPgraphic{background:title}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={background:normal,background:title}] \starttext \startchapter[title=One] \input tufte \page \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Two] \definecolor [color:background] [r=0.82,g=0.85,b=0.68] \definecolor [color:title] [r=0.86,g=0.88,b=0.76] \input tufte \page \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext

synctex problem
by Ulrike Fischer 23 Mar '13

Is it possible to tell context to create a .synctex file instead of a .synctex.gz? (Or alternativly does someone know how to get sumatra (on windows) to handle a synctex.gz?) -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

bibliography (interaction)
by Alan BRASLAU 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hello, 1. Is there some way to enable interaction with bibliographies? (i.e. hyperlinks from the citations to the list.) 2. Can one create an index of author names, for example, listing the pages of citations? Alan
