Managing prefixes in section references
by Jean-Philippe Rey 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, I am trying to convince \in to build up a full reference (<chapter number>.<section number>) but can not work it out. Here is my minimal example : % ConTeXt 2012.11.08 MKIV \setuphead[section][sectionsegments=section] \setupreferencestructureprefix[section][number][prefixsegments=2:*] \starttext \chapter{Chapter one} \section[S1]{Section one} This is \in{section}[S1] % displays 1 instead of 1.1 \stoptext What am I doing wrong ? Thanks for your answers. -- Jean-Philippe Rey Professeur - École Centrale Paris jean-philippe.rey(a)ecp.fr 92295 Châtenay-Malabry Cedex - France

Mk IV version of wasysym?
by Pavneet Arora 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

I am trying to use some of the symbols from Roland Waldi's symbols collection in a project. After not getting the minimal example to work, I looked for the 'symb-was.*' file, and came across only this; /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/symb-was.mkii I notice that there doesn't seem to be a .mkiv version of this set. Could this be the problem? The minimal example was simply: \usesymbols[was] \showsymbolset[wasy general] Thanks. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora Waroc Fine Audio + Custom Home Cinema www.waroc.com 416.937.WAROC (9276)

XML and Lua/Ctx
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hello, I've read that when Ctx is to process a XML file, the whole XML tree is loaded first and processed as wanted. I'd need to process a XML file which represents an Excel workbook saved as .xml. When working in pure Lua, I'm using Expat library (http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/index.html) which allow to create a parser with callbacks (e.g. StartElement(), StopElement(), CharacterData()...). It processes the .xml file on-the-go. However, this solution cannot be used with Ctx as it causes Ctx to crash. How to access a XML file loaded and parsed from within Ctx via Lua? I attach a simple Excel XML (for those who are familiar with Excel and don't refuse using it). As an example, I'd need process the attached .xml into a simple Lua table: ---- -- return -- Lua table as a result { workbooks = { [1] = { name = "1", -- No more info is necessary so far, -- I just need to see the way how to access XML elements }, [2] = { name = "Imp", }, [3] = { name = "Exp", }, [4] = { name = "<Template>", }, } } ---- Could anyone experienced kindly present a way how to get such table from the attached Excel XML file? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Difference between * and \ast
by Aditya Mahajan 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi, $*$ not behave the same as $\ast$ in math mode with any unicode font. (The output of \ast is correct) Minimal example: \setupbodyfont[cambria] \starttext $a*b$ $a\ast b$ \stoptext At first glance, I could not find anything wrong with char-def.lua Aditya

after attribute for nested enumeration
by Nicholas Ulle 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, Is it possible to set the after attribute for a nested enumeration? I've tried setting it directly with no luck, but maybe I'm missing some other flag or attribute I need to set? An example follows. Before text \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Here is an item \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Sub item \item Sub item 2 \stopitemize This text is too close to the nested enumeration. \stopitemize This text is the correct distance from outer enumeration. Thanks, Nick

Hi everybody, is there a good way to display source(such as C language) in ConTeXt? or a Module to deal these things (indent, hightlight) just as listings package in LaTeX? Thanks.

Resetting numbers in section header
by Otared Kavian 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi all, Assume for some reason I want a section to be numbered in a particular way: I thought the command resetnumber=yes would do that, but it seems that I am wrong… or this option is now obsolete. Can anyone have a look at the following example and give a hint? \starttext \section{Section 1} \input ward \startsection[title={Section 1 again},resetnumber=yes] % Here I want again the number 1 \input ward \stopsection \setuphead[section][number=yes] \section{Section 3} \input ward \startsection[title={Section with no number},number=no] % Here I don't want numbers \input ward \stopsection \stoptext Thanks in advance: OK

images and text stacked in the margin
by Andy Thomas 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Dear list, I am still struggling to achieve the page layout/look that I am trying to get. For an image of the desired page spread please look here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9089117/tufte-spread.png The design is using the ample margin to place text (sidenotes), figures (images) and tables in the margin. I am unable to get both (images and text) to work properly. (1) put all in a \margintext \margintext{...} for text \margintext{\placefigure...} for external images This option does not work if the position is close to a page break (cp. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20121111.191529.3fbef120.en.html) (2) use two different macros \margintext{...} for text and \placefigure[location=margin]{}{...} for external images This option does not work because they are placed on top of each other. I also tried \startplacefigure, but also no luck. (3) put all in a \placefigure \placefigure[margin,none]{}{Text Text} for text \placefigure[margin,none]{}{...} for external images This works best, because it starts from the top and nicely stacks the marginals. But it introduces a paragraph break where the sidenote is called. This does not work, it defeats the purpose (imagine a paragraph after every footnote). (4) use (3) and postponing \startpostponing [+1]% \startplacefigure[location={margin,none}]% Text text\stopplacefigure% \stoppostponing% Now, the paragraph break is gone, but the sidenote is on the next page, which does not make sense in our case (cp. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56388/avoid-line-break-after-macro) In general, I do not understand, where the paragraph break at the \placefigure... comes from. It does not seam necessary in most cases (e.g. location=top) and postponing does avoid it. Can I 'gobble' it somehow? Does anyone have an idea, how to make it work for images as well as text combined? Andy
