Paragraph width in table of contents
by Charles 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hi, In the following example, the section titles are long. In the table of contents, the section titles are written like normal paragraph (ending at the right margin, with the page number). With an older version of Context beta (about a year ago), the paragraphs with the section title were shorter and not overlapping with the page number. How can I obtain again that property? Thanks for your help Charles \starttext \section{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, maecenas malesuada, ut tellus ac a egestas donec, lectus aliquam, purus orci fermentum porta sed. Ut quis risus suspendisse, convallis vel velit suspendisse amet diam urna, erat auctor vestibulum nec amet lorem, at fringilla cursus aenean donec dui at. Neque duis luctus netus magna, orci nulla vivamus consectetuer nulla, amet felis in sodales dictum parturient ipsum, consequuntur malesuada.} \section{Vestibulum ut pretium fringilla dui dui odio, pellentesque arcu leo id. Malesuada curabitur, urna nostrum mauris lobortis, ante luctus donec a, congue arcu placerat dictum non integer, nulla non.} \completecontent[criterium=all] \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] placefigure adds break
by Alan BRASLAU 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello, A follow-up on the solution \startpostponing [+0] \startplacefigure … \stopplacefigure \stoppostponing As a side effect, one then needs to be careful to surround ALL placefigures with \startpostponing[+0]\stoppostponing, even those that occur after a paragraph end (where one is not concerned about adding a paragraph break), else the floating figures may get placed out of order, e.g. figure 4 before figure 3. As this makes for somewhat sloppy tex files, should not placefigure/table/other get FIXED so as not to introduce a paragraph break?

gnuplot not working
by John Devereux 12 Apr '12

Hi all, Is there a problem with gnuplot? I get an error with the minimal example on the wiki. I think the generated .plt file has an error; it works if I manually delete the "fontscale 1" bit and run context on test-gnuplot-1.tmp. Using latest beta, tried with current official gnuplot as well as mojca-patched version.

\startitemize[columns] in a figure caption

Hello, \startitemize [columns] does not work in a figure caption (for example).

\ref not working in current Ctx?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello, the wiki example doesn't work on my computer, although the wiki result seems OK: ---- \starttext See page \ref[p][myref 1] and \ref[p][myref 2]. \page \reference[myref 1]{MyRef1} This is the first reference. \page \reference[myref 2]{MyRef2} This is the second one. \stoptext ---- The result is: "See page and .", i.e. missing numbers of referred pages. Maybe versions of Ctx on wiki and on my computer differ. The mine: ConTeXt ver: 2012.04.07 14:42 MKIV fmt: 2012.4.9 int: english/english A patch needed? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

\BibTeX usage
by Kip Warner 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hey list, I assumed that there was some macro akin to \CONTEXT for the BibTeX module, and I believe there is, \BibTeX. The problem is it isn't recognized when I attempt to compile my document with it. Is there a module that must be included or something else one must do? I'd also like to be able to extract the BibTeX version as well, if possible (akin to \contextversion). -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

\description - indenting lines, "alternative=top"

Hello, another case of description (following http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg62775.html) now with "alternative=top" - I'm trying to get: XXXXXX blablabla bla bla blablabla blabla. | | |-| A constant of indenting - to be specified by the user. | | |<------------>| Text width. But my trials give just: ---- XXXXX bla bla blablabl bla bla. = "alternative=hanging" - unwanted Or: XXXXX bla bla blabla bl bla bla. = Lines after head are not indented; unwanted. ---- Does \description support any options to get the required shape?

Dump table of contents
by Kip Warner 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hey list, Is it possible to instruct ConTeXt to generate just the table of contents, skipping all other front matter, back matter, appendices, body matter, etc.? For example, only the following I'd like to see in the outputted PDF: % Contents at a glance... \title{Contents at a Glance} \placelist[chapter] % Complete table of contents... \title{Table of Contents} \placecontent Right now I am generating the full book, but then passing through pdftk manually to extract just the pages that fall within the aforementioned. I tried putting the aforementioned code in its own product file and then passing that through ConTeXt with the book's environment, but the problem is that the TOC now has nothing in it, of course. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

index for Japanese alphabet
by S Barmeier 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, I would like to include an index with Japanese terms, ordered according to the Japanese alphabet. I can say \index[kanji]{漢字} for an entry under K. For my Japanese index I imagine \index[かんじ]{漢字} to place an entry under か. Is something like this possible? The Japanese alphabet fits (almost) into a 5x10 table. Depending on the size of the index, it is customary to order an index either by column only (for a smaller index) or by table entry (top-to-bottom, right-to-left). I'd be happy with either, although the smaller one will probably suffice for my purposes... Any help on how to implement this? Many thanks, as always, Severin
