Pagenumbers doublesided
by Markus Finke 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi, I can’t get simple pagenumbers starting right-left-right-etc. This minimal example results in middle pagenumbers (ConTeXt ver: 2012.04.19): ------------------------------------------------------------------- \setuppagenumbering [ alternative=doublesided, location=marginedge ] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------------- This solution doesn’t work for me (How to used it? – I copied the code in my preamble): http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20120202.175424.41cbe6f3.en.html#c… TIA!

Is there some easy way to do tufte-style side note?
by Yue Wang 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Dear powerful ConTeXt users: Is there some way to do tufte style side notes? I googled and did found Wolfgang's solution (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20110906.202722.f501f115.en.html) but it's just too simple and cannot be used for production. Side notes will cluttered or fall out of pages. LaTeX does provide a good solution for this style. I am wondering if this is possible to do in context. I am also curious to know simple way to do multiple float style in ConTeXt (like graphics spanning text and margin and many others). Yue Wang

Changing navigation symbol
by Markus Finke 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

One footnote is placed on the next side because of lack of space. This arrangement is displayed by a triangular symbol. Is it possible to replace this symbol by a more appropriate (self-defined) character or switch off this feature? TIA!

\goto[]…\reference[] in component files query
by Alan Bowen 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

I understand that there was a problem with cross-references within components of a product structure that use \goto[…] and \reference[…]. Has this been fixed yet? I have not been able to get them to work with the latest ConTeXt standalone and thought I should check. My \at[] and \in[] cross-references are OK. Alan

Caption number conversion in MkIV
by Jean-Philippe Rey 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hello everybody, I would like to use capital letters instead of roman numerals to number figures and tables. In MkII I used \setupcaptions[conversion=Characters] However, it doesn't work in MkIV. Does someone know the equivalent in MkIV ? Thanks, -- Jean-Philippe Rey Professeur - École Centrale Paris jean-philippe.rey(a)ecp.fr 92295 Châtenay-Malabry Cedex - France

21 Apr '12

Hello, is it possible to specify \(start)tabulate or \setuptabulate to fit \textwidth? - I mean all columns to have the same width so in total to occupy the whole \textwidth...

Interactive image
by Kip Warner 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Hey list, I am typesetting some images with \externalfigure. I'd like to make some of them interactive such that clicking on them invokes a URL, but leaving them without borders. Is there a recommended way to do this, such as wrapping \externalfigure in something like the following? \def\href#1#2{\useURL[#2][{#2}][][{#1}]\goto{\url[#2]}[url(#1)]} \href{www.something...}{\externalfigure[...]} Or is there a better way? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

extracting word count from a *.words file
by Jelle Huisman 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

Hello all, Here is another question. Consider this test file: \starttext \setupspellchecking[state=start,method=2] \ctxlua{languages.words.threshold=3} \input knuth \stoptext Typesetting this file produces a word list 'test.words' which ends like this: ["threshold"]=1, ["total"]=122, ["version"]=1, } Is there a way to extract the value for ["total"] ('122' in this case) so that I can use that value somewhere else, e.g. in a project file where I want to present a word count. Thanks for a pointer! Jelle
