codefolding with Kate or Kwrite
by Jan Heinen 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Hello, is someone else using the editors kate and kwrite? Code-highlighting is working. What I need ist code-folding for ConTeXt. Is this possible? I have huge makros with lots of \doif ... \else ... \fi and it is hard to "surf" through the code. What else would be nice: auto-indentation ... marking all the code and let kwrite/kate do the job to indent. Regards Janis

How to center with picture taken into consideration
by Cecil Westerhof 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

I keep bugging the list. ;-) I center some text on a place where I also place a picture on the right site. Is it possible to center on the part that is not taken up by the picture? The picture is placed with: \definelayer[picture][ preset=righttop, width=\textwidth, ] \setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[graphics/pasfoto]} \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture] \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] To make things a little more complicated, the placing of the picture is conditional. So it is not always done. -- Cecil Westerhof

Hyphenation documentation
by Sietse Brouwer 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hello all, I've just pulled together some questions of mine and their answers, and written them up into a hyphenation Q&A. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Hyphenation http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definebreakpoint Unfortunately, there are still some holes in the documentation I wrote. Questions I still have, and which I now pose to the list: 1. how do I protect a single instance of a word against hyphenation? Does ConTeXt, like LaTeX, use \hbox{myfragileword}, or something different? 2. In the command \definebreakpoint, what do these keys do? I can't get them to do anything (MWE below) ** left ** middle ** right 3. Is there perhaps a bug in breakpoints of type 2 and 3. (MWE below.) The key 'type' seems to control where hyphens appear. If 1 is a hyphenation character of type 1, etc, this is the observed behaviour (`/` is the linebreak): ...1...1 / ... ...2... / 2-... % I would expect: ...2... / -2... ...3...-3 / ... % I would expect: ...3...3- / ... ...4...4 / 4... ...... / ... % breakpoint of type 5 just disappears If this behaviour is not a bug: is there a way to set a breakpoint X that produces ...X...X- / ...?

setuppagenumber--start at page xy
by Jörg Hagmann 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Has the code for starting pagenumbering at a given number changed? I'm using last year's template for an annual report, but can't get it to work. Minimal example: \setuppagenumber[number=3] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext I'm using today's context version.

Defined and not defined and better be done global
by Cecil Westerhof 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

When running ConTeXt I see a lot of this kind of messages: fonts > bodyfont 15pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is not defined fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 15pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is not defined fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 15pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 1.25em is not defined What am I doing wrong? -- Cecil Westerhof

Supressing a heading from the table of contents
by Lance Larsen 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Can anyone tell me how to suppress individual numbered chapter/section/subsection/etc. from the table of contents? Also how do you set the last heading level included in the table of contents. I think I came across this, but am having trouble finding it again. Lance Larsen

Why does startlines not work in a function
by Cecil Westerhof 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I have the following code: \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines I wanted to put this in a function. So I wrote: \def\Foo{ \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines } But then the text becomes one line instead of several lines. So I had to rewrite it to: \def\FooTwo{ \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment } I called it first Foo2, but that worked havoc on Foo. -- Cecil Westerhof

I am using a command line parameter to change the generated output. Is it also possible to set the output file name depending on the parameter? -- Cecil Westerhof

How to know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter?
by Tim Li 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Sometimes, it is convenient if I know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter. when desinging a book, we make a new chapter open at a right page and design the header to show the chapter title and pagenumber. We have to set the pagenumber at the page where a chapter title is located. \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}]\setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart] if this book consists of a frontmatter and a backmatter, I have to set the text for the titles in frontmatter and chapters in bodymatter like this, for roman pagenumber in frontmatter. \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \definetext [titlestart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\romannumerals\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [title] [footer=titlestart]\stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart]\stopsectionblockenvironment so, is there a command to make me know if I am in frontmatter or bodymatter? if so, I can use only one command to achieve that setup \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\ifinfrontmatter ... \else ... \fi\hfill}] regards, Tim
