Indented footnotes in ConTeXt
by Adam Khan 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Greetings! I am writing a German critical edition in which I am using endnotes, and I am encountering severe difficulties with formatting them as I should wish. The idea is to indent the entire footnote—marker and text—0.5in. In ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX, I can move the footnote marker with this set-up: \definenote[critical][conversion=characters, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, margindistance=-.5in, align=flushleft] Then I move the text by adding the unsightly but functional hack \hskip.5into the beginning of the argument of \critical or \criticaltext. Unfortunately, the endnotes do not flow from page to page in Mark II, and, from the comments on the source code, it appears that this cannot be helped. Given the length and number of endnotes needed for my project, ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX does not seem viable. In ConTeXt (Mark IV) on LuaTeX, on the other hand, the endnotes do flow from page to page, but the formatting does not appear to respond to the margindistance key. From various related posts, the answer appears to lie in \setupnotation, but, whenever I attempt to pass this command, I get an “undefined control sequence” error. In short, my question is, How do I code indenting each endnote .5in with the highest degree of automation and fewest hacks possible? Sincerely yours, Adam Khan P.S. In case something less obvious in my environment file is causing my difficulties, I attach it below: \startenvironment Formattierung \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[backspace=1.5in, topspace=1in, bottomspace=1in, cutspace=1in] \setupinterlinespace[line=5.6ex] \setupindenting[.5in] \indenting[always] \setupnarrower[left=0.5in, right=0in] \setupspacing[packed] \setupalign[right,broad,nothyphenated] \setuplinenumbering[step=1] \setuppagenumbering[way=bytext] \definenote[genetic] \setupnote[genetic][numberconversion=romannumerals, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[source] \setupnote[source][numberconversion=set2, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[critical] \setupnote[critical][numberconversion=characters, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, margindistance=-.5in, align=flushleft] \definenote[annotation] \setupnote[annotation][numberconversion=numbers, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[sociological] \setupnote[sociological][numberconversion=Romannumerals, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \setupbodyfont[ss,12pt] \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] \def\broadcast{\rm} \def\callout#1{<#1>} \def\noteindent{\hskip.5in} \def\notepar{\\\hskip.5in} \def\original{\ss} \def\paratext{\tt} \def\quotationheader#1#2{{\noindenting\paratext#1]\wordright{[#2}}} \def\siglum#1{{\bf#1}} \def\someoneelse#1{{\it#1}} \stopenvironment

inright with location=hanging does not do what is expected.
by Bill Meahan 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Apparently the listserver thought this was spam given my original subject lines contained a backslash, square brackets and curly brackets. :( Let's try this again: Maybe I'm reading the documentation (such as it is) wrong but I would expect specifying [location=hanging] to drop the margin text down alongside what follows instead of raising up to be even with what has preceded it. Minimal example: \starttext \input montgomery \inright[][align=right,location=hanging]{Shoulder Text} \input knuth \stoptext The "Shoulder Text" is aligned upward from the end of ward so it is alongside the ward quote. I would have expected it to be aligned downward alongside the knuth quote. Am I missing something? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Parameters for Texworks
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi there, Im happy to have found the correct parameters for Texworks and MarkVI (and Standalone Context) after hours, wtih the kindly help of Hans and SciTE. They are: Programm: mtxrun Parameters: --script context --synctec $fullname Perhaps it would be useful to add this into the wiki, since there is only a guide in texworks for MarkIV. Thanks everybody.

Bug?
by Willi Egger 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi all! It appears to me, that there is a bug in transferring internal information: Suppose you have a large image. You need to squeeze this image into the width of 1 column in a two column environment. If the figure is placed with a fixed width it comes out as expect. If you use \textwidth or \makeupwidth the figure will not be sized correctly. \showframe % \definemixedcolumns[columns] % \setupcolumns % [distance=4mm] \starttext \startsimplecolumns \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow width fixed-width} {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,width=4cm]} \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow with \type{\textwidth}} {\externalfigure[Pyramid][fame=on,width=\textwidth]} \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow with \type{\makeupwidth}} {\externalfigure[Pyramid][frame=on,width=\makeupwidth]} \stopsimplecolumns \stoptext Willi

Spaces in commands
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi there, how to define commands, which are simply short-cuts for some terms? My attempt produces typographical mistakes: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\testcmd{% Testcommand% } \def\testcmdtwo{% Testcommandtwo } \starttext This is a \testcmd. Everything ok. This \testcmd has no space after, but it should have. This \testcmdtwo has a space after. Everything ok. But this \testcmdtwo, produces one extra spaces after the comma. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thank you. Huseyin

Equivalent of Includeonly?

Is there an equivalent of the LaTeX "\includeonly" ? - I'm working on books (nearly only on books), so such a command would speed up my work. Huseyin

Re: Section alone on the page
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I got this eMail, and copy it here, maybe someone understands what changed and caused this Bug. ++++++++++++++++++ I looked at your not_so_short_example in ntg-context Digest, Vol 101, Issue 53, 18 November 2012, and I found that your problem, the section title alone at the bottom of a page, occurs only in some versions of the ConTeXt standalone, not in others. That on TeXLive will be OK (it was on my installation) My recent version of ConTeXt (14-11-2012) was not OK but some older versions (from march and may this year and even as recent as october 28) do not give your problem. For he others, I tried to avoid the problem by adding to your setup: \clubpenalty=10000 % keine Schusterjungen / no clubs (from Ubuch) \widowpenalty=10000 % keine Hurenkinder / no widows but that did not change anything, starngely enough. Maybe you could ask Hans Hagen or Wolfgang Schuster to have a look at the code and find out what's wrong. I hope this helps a little for the time being. +++++++++++++ Huseyin

Suddenly can't run context
by Bill Meahan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Something has changed on my system and I can't find it. Perhaps someone can point me where I should look. I've had the texlive2012 installed since it came out and until a couple of days ago everything worked just fine. All of a sudden, things changed. I did nothing directly to the texlive distribution. wwm@escherton$ context --version gives the error output at the end of this note wwm@escherton$ sudo context --version works just fine wwm@escherton$ mtxrun --version works just fine as does mtxrun --script fonts --reload &c. I created a new user. context@escherton$ context --version works just fine I deleted the texlive distribution and re-installed it. No change. I've run sudo context --generate several times with no change in behavior. I've deleted the local .texlive2012 directory but since context won't run, it doesn't get recreated. I can set TEXMF and then context will run but it takes a much longer time than usual and the disk activity light is on almost solid. Any ideas?
