Questions on \definition
by Kip Warner 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hey list, A couple of questions concerning \definition: (1) What is the difference between \definedescription and \setupdescriptions? (2) What is the difference between \definition and \description? (3) How do I change the colour of the definition header? I tried the following, but it did not work: \setuphead [definition] [color=colour_head] -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

by Kip Warner 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hey list, When I wish to reference some section, I can inline typeset with \in{section}[Some Reference]. In the case of a definition defined with a \startdefinition{Some Definition}, how can I reference it inline? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

\par in macro definition (mkii issue)
by Otared Kavian 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, It seems that with the recent updates, I found that the following minimal example does not work in mkii, while it does in mkiv: \define[1]\MyTest{The test variable is #1.\par} \starttext Is this a bug in mkii? \MyTest{3} \stoptext Am I doing something wrong, or mkii has changed despite being officially « frozen », a side effect of the global warming…? :-) Best regards: OK PS: the version I am using is ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.16 18:33 MKII, and the error message says: (/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.mkii)) Runaway argument? {The test variable is ##1. ! Paragraph ended before \complexdefine was complete. <to be read again> \par l.1 \define[1]\MyTest{The test variable is #1.\par } ? Process aborted

two problems with natural tables
by Florian Wobbe 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, 1) I tried the following minimal example from http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20110109.151431.f774696a.en.html \placetable[split]{Test} {\bTABLE[split=yes] \dorecurse{60}{ \bTR \bTD hello \eTD \eTR } \eTABLE} with the current context versions which works fine. However, if I insert the code in a big project with many setups it fails with the attached error message. So there are setups which cause this error. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out what causes the problem. I could determine the context version at which my big document fails: 2010.12.22 14:07. The example still works in 2010.12.21 10:50. Anyone got an idea which setups might cause this issue? 2) How do I get a small and bold header? This does not work: \bTABLE \setupTABLE[style=\tfx] \setupTABLE[row][1][style=\bfx] % redundant w/ line 5 \bTABLEhead \bTR[style=\bfx] \bTH Header \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD hello \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD world \eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE Thanks!

Counters again
by Felix Ingram 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hello all, I'm now trying to use counters that will tally some values. The value of these could be zero, which the wiki states will be the default value. The following shows that nothing is displayed when the counter is 0. \definenumber[examplecounter] \setnumber[examplecounter]{1} \starttext This is the default value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] This is the new value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \resetnumber[examplecounter] This is the reset value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \setnumber[examplecounter]{0} This is the set value: \getnumber[examplecounter] \stoptext I can include some conditionals to check this but thought I'd report it in case I'm doing it wrong/the wiki needs updating. Many thanks, Felix

by Nikita Volchenkov 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hello. I want to use in formulas for letters and numerals my usual text font (Linux Libertine for example) and math font for all other symbols (saying Cambria Math or Computer Modern). It is possible? If so, I would like to see example typescript for MkIV.

Tikz module causes errors
by Felix Ingram 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

I've just updated to the latest beta and the following will cause an error: \usemodule[tikz] \starttext Hello World \stoptext The error is: system > tex > error on line 129 in file example.tex: Undefined control sequence ... l.129 \catcode`\;=\active Obviously there is no line 129. A quick greg shows that the likely suspect is: tex\texmf-modules\tex\generic\pgf\utilities\pgffor.code.tex:129 Is this the best place to report this, or should I drop a mail to the Tikz/PGF list?

another surprising change (line break in TOC)
by Steffen Wolfrum 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, the good old command for breaking list entries (eg. headings in the TOC) like this ... \startLevelOne[ title={Das Krankenhaus als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}, marking={Das Krankenhaus als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}, list={Das Krankenhaus\\als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}, bookmark={Das Krankenhaus als Leistungserbringer in der GKV}] ... pop up this error message: !
