Total Number of Pages
by Nicholas Ulle 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, How would I go about inserting the total number of pages in my document? I assume this would require two passes of texec or context. I've tried Googling and checking ConTeXt garden, but couldn't find anything regarding this. Thanks again, Nick

Subscript Depth
by Nicholas Ulle 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, How would I go about getting subscripts to stay at the same depth? An example of the problem I'm having is: \starttext % Notice the b's are not aligned $a_b' a_b$ \stoptext I'm only just learning ConTeXt and TeX, so I'm not sure what I'd need to change to fix this. Thanks, Nick

New module: pararef
by Zenlima 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hallo, after so many of you helped me, I want to give back. I just made my t-pararef module public for everyone: http://modules.contextgarden.net/pararef http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Paragraph_Referencing Please feel free to send me comments about the coding style and what I could have done in a better way. E.g. the interface file is missing, but I don't know how it should look like. But I hope mainly that it will prove beneficial for some of you. H.

Vertical positioning of floats within itemize
by Marcin Borkowski 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

It's me again! This doesn't quite work as expected (at least by me, that is;)): \starttext \startitemize \startitem \placefigure[right,high,none]{}{\framed[width=3cm,height=2cm]{!}} \input knuth \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext (Namely, at the beginning of the \item there is something like a "blank line".) If I move \placefigure before \startitem, it looks better, but this seems to be a nasty hack. Do you have any idea how to achieve this effect in a more elegant way? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

ConTeXt inputs files from TEXMF/doc
by Mojca Miklavec 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hello, I used \externalfigure[background] in a document (and I forgot to compile the local file background.tex) and ended up with a pleasant surprise: the command included /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/doc/latex/background/background.pdf instead of complaining that the file doesn't exist. Shouldn't ConTeXt prevent inclusion of documents from "doc"? Mojca PS: tested with ConTeXt from TeX Live (as is probably evident from the fact that the file from TL has been found).

Controlling vertical position of floats
by Marcin Borkowski 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi again, \placefigure[right,<option>]{caption}{figure} does different things with option being (a) empty, (b) high, (c) low. Could anyone explain to me the exact meaning of these three alternatives? Also, is it possible to manually fine-tune the vertical position, so that the figure seems optically aligned with the surrounding text? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

How to get bolder and larger item symbol?
by Marcin Borkowski 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

I'd like to have the number (and dot) in an "itemize" in boldface and larger (say, \bf\tfa). What do I do? \startitemize[n][symstyle=bold] didn't work. Why? TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
