Wiki: examples
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Hello, suggestion: As ConTeXt-generated examples (automatically generated by <context> ... </context>) on wiki are often: - too long and - their font is often too big compared to the other font used on the wiki page. (E.g. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definedescription.) (WinXP, normally using Opera browser with its default font settings.) Personally, when I want to show both ConTeXt source and result (preferred, as it's not necessary to create "context-wiki" source and context-valid source), I'm using the following setup: \setuppapersize[A5] % To narrow the result \setupbodyfont[8pt] % To make font size closer to that of wiki \setuppagenumbering[location=] % Page numbers are unnecessary in most cases (E.g. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/defineenumeration.) - What setups do YOU normally use? - Do you think it would be useful to specify a recommendation for setup for <context .../> examples? - If so, where to place it? To http://wiki.contextgarden.net/How_to_edit_wiki_pages? Or elsewhere? Your opinions are welcome. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Page background image
by Kip Warner 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Hey list, I have an image that I would like to use as the page background on every page of a document. The image matches the dimensions of the full page already. I know how to insert it as a floating figure or as a logo in the margin, but not as the entire page itself. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Cross-document referencing problem!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi ConTeXt User's, Again I'm struggling with cross-document referencing! The page of the \pagereference[def] command is shown correctly in the pdf result of the attached test.tex file using \at{page}[def]! However when I refer to this reference using \at{page}[tst::def] from the external document crossref.pdf only the 'page' string is displayed in it, but no sign of the page number. Clicking the page string brings me to the correct location, but I'm missing the pagenumber itself? Both tex-files (minimal example!) files are attached! Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2012.02.18 10:50 MKIV fmt: 2012.2.18 int: english/english together with Acrobat Reader 9.4.2 on Linux box.

[***SPAM***] placefigure adds break
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi, please have a look at thee example below: I have a long paragraph (more than 3 pages), and I want to set a float/figure at top of page 2. Thus, I need to write \placefigure *in* my paragraph, between two words. How can I do that without adding a paragraph break after the respective word (marked "HERE")? Steffen ------- \starttext \switchtobodyfont[rm,10pt] \input tufte \input ward \input zapf \input tufte \input ward \input zapf \input tufte \input ward \input zapf \input tufte \input ward \input zapf HERE \placefigure[top]{}{\vskip3pt{\externalfigure[foo][frame=off,width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-10mm)]}}\input tufte \input ward \input zapf \input tufte \input ward \input zapf \input tufte \input ward \input zapf \input tufte \input ward \input zapf \input tufte \input ward \input zapf \stoptext

Table of contents

Hi all, Feeling stupid... I updated my context MKIV to the latest version, was working with one ~1y old. I can't get a table of contents to work at all for some strange reason, am I misunderstanding something basic? I have tried all sorts of variants, but a test case and log follows.

I want cited bib items only in my bibliography
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Dear list, What is the right way today to get only the cited items in the bibliography? I have some problems doing this. With the test file % Start mps.tex \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=referenser] \starttext Foo~\cite[anno]. \subject{References} \placepublications[] % I've read somewhere that this should work %\placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext % Stop mps.tex I get an [[error 2]] in the pdf file where the citation is supposed to be. Also, the References list is empty. If I change \placepublications[] to \placepublications[criterium=all] I get all entries in my bib file, even the ones that are not cited. My referenser.bib is given below: % Start referenser.bib @book {anno, AUTHOR = {Anno}, TITLE = {No}, SERIES = {National Bureau of International Bureau's}, VOLUME = {1}, YEAR = {2012}, PAGES = {10}, } @article {bent, AUTHOR = {Bent}, TITLE = {Yes}, JOURNAL = {Letters of Letters}, VOLUME = {369}, YEAR = {2013}, NUMBER = {1}, PAGES = {39--69}, } % Stop referenser.bib Best regards, Mikael

In the current beta/nightly, \placelist has stopped working. Other parameters don't matter--the command just doesn't work, period.

\description - indenting lines from the 2nd
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hello, what option(s) to use with \definedescription if I'd like to get the following shape (attempt to ACSII art): XXXXXX blablabla blablabla bla blabla. | | |-| A constant of indenting - to be specified by the user. | | |<------------>| Text width. I inspired by wiki (the code bellow) but shapes I got could be illustrated: \A: XXXXXX blablabla blablabla bla blab- la. | | |<--->| Indenting given by the width of the head - unwanted. \B=\C: XXXXXX blablabla blablabla bla blab- la. | | |<--->| Indenting given by the width of the head - unwanted. | | |-] The "margin" option affects indenting of the whole description - unwanted, I want to indent only lines from the 2nd. I tried some combinations of options - location, width, margin - nothing leads to the desired form. My trials e.g.: ---- \definedescription[A][headstyle=bold,location=hanging,width=fit,] \definedescription[B][headstyle=bold,location=hanging,width=fit,margin=1cm,] \definedescription[C][headstyle=bold,location=hanging,width=fit,margin=1cm,command=\hskip-1cm] \starttext \input tufte \A{Short} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it. The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented. \A{Rather longer label} This is a longer item label. As you can see, the text is not started a specified distance in -- unlike with other lists -- but is spaced a fixed distance from the end of the label. \input tufte \B{Short} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it. The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented. \B{Rather longer label} This is a longer item label. As you can see, the text is not started a specified distance in -- unlike with other lists -- but is spaced a fixed distance from the end of the label. \input tufte \C{Short} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it. The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented. \C{Rather longer label} This is a longer item label. As you can see, the text is not started a specified distance in -- unlike with other lists -- but is spaced a fixed distance from the end of the label. \stoptext ---- Any idea how to obtain the form described above?
