\unit and french
by Romain Diss 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi all, As you know, the french number format is almost opposite to the english one: period and comma have opposite roles. My question concerns the way to render properly numbers in french with the \unit command. I already tried different combinations of \setupunit[method=,order=] but I can’t find the right way. I tried even to type french or english format as input for \unit but none output is right (actually I'd prefer to type french format as \unit input). Also, when there are "three digits" separators on both sides of the decimal point, some method outputs are not consistent. I attached a not so minimal exemple. Thanks for any idea to solve this. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Misplaced figure
by Rogers, Michael K 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

Hi, I wanted to start a proof with "Proof:" in italics and place a figure next to the right margin. There are many ways to accomplish this, but my normal way, {\it Proof:\/}, fails. Is this a bug or am I making a mistake? \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{ProofPQR} numeric u; u:=2.5cm; draw ((0, 0)--(1,0)--(1, 0.7)) scaled u withpen pencircle; dotlabel.bot(textext("$P$"),(0,0)*u); dotlabel.bot(textext("$R$"),(1,0)*u); dotlabel.rt(textext("$Q$"),(1,0.7)*u); \stopuseMPgraphic % MISPLACED \placefigure[right,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{ProofPQR}} {\it Proof:\/} \input knuth \hairline % WORKS \placefigure[right,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{ProofPQR}} %{\it Proof:\/} \input knuth \hairline % WORKS \placefigure[right,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{ProofPQR}} \strut{\it Proof:\/} \input knuth \stoptext Thanks, Michael ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Header without chapters/sections
by Troy Henderson 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

I would like to create a header on every page with some fixed text in the header. Simply doing \setupheadertexts[Some text] \setupheader[state=start] Does not produce a header on any page, yet \setupfootertexts[Some text] \setupfooter[state=start] does produce a footer on every page. Why does one work and the other does not? Troy Henderson

Need help with \definetabulate
by Malte Stien 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Hi, I am trying to define two tabulate styles as follows: - \setuptabulate[split=yes, bodyfont=small] - \setuptabulate[split=yes] ...such that I can just refer to them when I \starttabulate...\stoptabulate somewhere. I thought, the command \definetabulate would come in handy here, but I can't work it out and it appears the documentation on that command is pretty scarce. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definetabulate Any help? Thank you, Malte.

Header-Footer-Layout
by Arne Runge 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

Hi, I would like to have a doublesided layout with: - a titlepage with neither header nor footer, - a frontpart with pagesnumbers(left/right) in roman - a bodypart with pagesnumbers(left/right) in arabic - an appendix with pagesnumbers(left/right) in arabic - first page of a chapter should not have a header + underline - next page header(CHAPTER #: chapter) underlined - next page header(section) underlined - if there is no section then only the line. - if the next page is empty than only the pagenumber should be printed. Seems to be a common layout and I apologize for asking. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Arne My code: \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=] \setupsectionblock[bodypart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[backpart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[appendix] [page=] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}][][][\setups{text b}] \startsetups[text a] CHAPTER \getmarking[chapternumber]: \expanded{\uppercase{\fetchmark[chapter][first]}} \stopsetups \startsetups[text b] \getmarking[section] \stopsetups \setupheader[text][after=\hrule] \setuphead[chapter][header=empty] \setupfootertexts[][pagenumber] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \title{title} \stopstandardmakeup \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuppagenumber[number=1] \chapter{body} bla \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{appendix} code \stopappendices \stoptext

Error with \section name
by Rogers, Michael K 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

I encountered a strange error. If the section name contains "iffer" then an error is produced, with some joke-like comments. Minimal example: \starttext \chapter{One} \section{iffer} \stoptext The original title was "Differentiating an integral" but I kept taking away until I got to "iffer". Michael Excerpt of log file: ConTeXt ver: 2012.10.05 19:52 MKIV fmt: 2012.10.5 int: english/english ... error: ...lone/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-otn.lua:347: Invalid field id components for node type disc (3) . system > tex > error on line 3 in file foo4580.tex: ? ... …. l.3 \section{iffer} ? ! I can't go on meeting you like this. ... l.3 \section{iffer} One of your faux pas seems to have wounded me deeply... in fact, I'm barely conscious.

Symbolsets, using Unicode symbols?
by Mari Voipio 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

Hello! I'm having one of those ConTeXt moments when I feel really stupid, but I just cannot figure this out.... I'd need the heart symbol. You know, the one that goes on Facebook as <3. I think it is this Unicode symbol: ♥ U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT ♥ or ♥ or &hearts; I'm using the LucidaOT (Unicode) font and my Mac should have some other of the basic symbol sets, but I just cannot figure out how to use the above knowledge to dish out the heart. (TeX culture shock, I think, I don't care about gazillion maths operators, I want my Dingbats and other little decorations.) I found the Symbols wiki page at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols, but cannot figure out how to implement it: - the command \usesymbols[uni] gives 'symbols > unknown: library 'uni'' in the log. - the command \showsymbolset is just as hopeless: command \showsymbolset not found in file symb-run So, what bit in that process have I missed or not understood? I'm running mkIV in ConTeXt version Aug 17, 2012 in a Mac laptop. As Unicode and all that have been around for ages, this problem must be one of those you find between the chair and the screen! Thank you, Mari

Chapters without chapter number
by Pavel Hanák 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hi all, I would like to ask what is the best way to achieve this: The title line of the chapter should be without the chapter number, but the chapter number should be on all subsequent pages in the header. I tried this: \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, number=no ] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]. \getmarking[chapter]}] which makes the title of the chapter on the first page correctly without the chapter number, but then I have no chapter number on subsequent pages in the header. It looks like setting "number=no" in \setuphead definition breaks my expected behaviour of marking. So I tried: \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, sectionnumber=no ] but id didn't work either. So I ended by: \def\MyChapterTitle#1#2{#2}% \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, command=\MyChapterTitle, ] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]. \getmarking[chapter]}] which is working like expected, but I wonder, why I am not able to achieve the result using keywords "number" or "sectionnumber". Thanks. Pavel
