Hello, I have this code: %%%%%%%%%%% \def\wr[#1]{»#1«} \def\wrr[#1]{›#1‹} \starttext Quote: \wr[He said: \wrr[Hello!] ] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% It should print Quote: »He said: ›Hello!‹ « but it returns the ending quotation mark in the wrong order. Why? And how to correct that?

Beginner question. Chapter heading in words
by Andrew Dowell 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi I've some experience with Latex (written a thesis in it) but have just started to try ConteXt as my son wants me to typeset a story he's written as an A5 book, and ConteXt seems to do that more easily than Latex. However, he wants the chapter headings to be on the form: Chapter One This is the Name of the First Chapter ie. with the chapter number in words, centred on the page, and then the title of the chapter centred below it. (By default it seems to do it as a numeral and then the title on the the same line) He'd also like the title of the book as the header for even pages and the title of the chapter as a header for odd side pages. I've looked through the manual but can't find obvious instructions as to how to do this. Thanks for any suggestions. Andrew

Synctex problems with context and texworks
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hello there, sind yesterday the pdf-view with synctex had no problems. But today, without any change (afaik), it does not work anymore. The arguments for compiling with context.exe are --synctex $fullname That is default. I deleted the .synctex.gz files manually, but it did not help. What could be the problem? Thanks Huseyin

How to put a \placefigure with no caption?
by Marcin Borkowski 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi there, \placefigure[here]{none}{<image>} seems to actually typeset "none" as a caption. What do I do if I want no caption (not even the "Figure 1" thing, in fact)? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

margintext and placefigure
by Andy Thomas 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Dear all. I am having some trouble with figure placement in the margin. If you use the following code, please try to comment out first one and then both '\input knuth'. Somehow, the figure is not placed in the margin, but the center of the page, if a page breaks occurs close by. Is there a way to avoid that and have the figure always placed in the margin? Thanks, Andy -- code starts --- \useMPlibrary[dum] % To get dummy figures \definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm, height=240mm] \setuppapersize [wissenschaft] \setuplayout[topspace=40pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, height=560pt, footer=0pt, % backspace=42pt, leftmargin=0pt, width=280pt, rightmargindistance=20pt, rightmargin=100pt] \setupmargindata [margintext] [location=outer, width=100pt, stack=continue] \starttext % \chapter{One} \input tufte \input knuth \input knuth \section{Figures} % \margintext {\startplacefigure[ title={A small rectangle put in the margin.}] \externalfigure[dummy] \stopplacefigure} \input tufte \stoptext -- code ends --- background: I started working on my module (caesar) again, since the ipad is supposed to render mathml now. That means, I could try the context epub output with formulas on an actual device (cp. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5321)

chart module \connection[cc]
by Alan BRASLAU 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hello, Once again, let me say that the chart module is great! In the following example 3 columns x 2 rows, I connect the cell {3,2} with the cell {2,1}. In the absence of the cell {2,2}, the arrow nicely goes through the center of this blank space. \usemodule [chart] \setupFLOWcharts [nx=3,ny=2, dx=2\bodyfontsize,dy=2\bodyfontsize, width=7\bodyfontsize,height=7\bodyfontsize, maxwidth=\textwidth] \starttext \startFLOWchart [minimal] \startFLOWcell \name {11} \location {1,1} \text {1,1} \connection [rl] {21} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {21} \location {2,1} \text {2,1} \connection [rl] {31} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {31} \location {3,1} \text {3,1} \connection [bt] {32} \stopFLOWcell % \startFLOWcell % \name {22} % \location {2,2} % \text {2,2} % \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {32} \location {3,2} \text {3,2} \connection [lb] {21} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart [minimal] \stoptext Question (or perhaps feature request), it would be nice to be able to connect the cells {3,2} and {2,1} using a diagonal arrow, running directly from the center of one cell to the center of the other, of course ending at the intersections with the cell shapes outlines. Is this possible? A decent syntax could be \connection [cc] {21} This syntax could also nicely work for the other connections, without having to specify "l" or "r" or "t" or "b". Thus, \connection [rl] {21} for the cell {1,1} could be replaced by \connection [cc] {21} yielding the same result. I can figure out how to do this in metapost, but I have not looked into the chart module code. Alan
