groupedcommand with color
by Steffen Wolfrum 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hi, due to \color[]{} now needs an argument, groupedcommand doesn't work as before: \define\PlainSwitch% {\groupedcommand{\language[de]\ss}{}} \define\ColorSwitch% {\groupedcommand{\language[de]\ss\color[darkred]}{}} \starttext English: \date {\PlainSwitch German \date} English: \date {\ColorSwitch German \date} Test \date \stoptext Someone knows what to change here (in order to get the red "G" back)? Thanks, Steffen

Hello, Here you see some white space at the left and the right of ".COM": \ss \framed[offset=overlay]{.COM} How can I remove this space in the right, correct, natural, smart, elegant, ConTeXtish manner?

Two columns type problem
by Martin Bruchanov 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hello, I'm using: current version: 2012.02.08 21:58 but this problem happens in more versions. See example document: http://bruxy.regnet.cz/tmp/twocols_fight.pdf http://bruxy.regnet.cz/tmp/twocols_fight.ctex After 4th chapter, there is unwanted blank page. The blank page appears every time, when the chapter is on the top of page. I want to prepare two columns layout, but chapters should be overlaid over two cols. I played also with \definecolumns and columnset environment, but columns were not balanced and doesn't work as I expected. The source code: 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- \mainlanguage[cz] \language[cz] \enableregime[utf] % latin2 \pdfminorversion=4 % verze pdf \setupbodyfont[9pt] % \setuppapersize[A4, portrait][A4, portrait] % A3, A4, A5, A6; landscape \setuplayout[ width=175mm, height=285mm, %285mm topspace=5mm, header=5mm, headerdistance=10mm, footer=11mm, %10mm bottomspace=5mm, bottom=0mm, ] % Pouziti barev \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[rgb] \setupinterlinespace[medium] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setuptabulate[header=repeat] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \startuseMPgraphic{PageDeco} size := 8mm; pickup pencircle scaled 0.5mm; draw fullcircle scaled size; % shifted (0,-25mm); label(textext("\pagenumber"), (0,0)); %shifted (0,-25mm); krizy := -size/2 - size/4; draw (0, -size/2)--(0, -size); draw (0,krizy)--(-size/4,krizy); draw (0,krizy)--(size/4,krizy); \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[PageDeco][\uniqueMPgraphic{PageDeco}] \def\Page#1{ \framed[background={PageDeco}, align=center, frame=off] {~}%\vbox{\bf\rm\switchtobodyfont[48pt] \color[ChapterNumber]{#1}}} } \setuppagenumbering[% alternative=doublesided, location={footer, center}, % header, middle, inleft, inmargin command=\Page, ] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=black] % klikaci dokument \setupurl[style=type,color=black] \setupcombinedlist[content][level=1,alternative=c] \setuplist[chapter][width=10mm,style=bold] \setupwhitespace[none] % velikost odsazeni \setupindenting[small,next] % none, small, medium, bix, next, first, [rozmer] \indenting[yes] % Nastaveni hlavicky \setupheader[style=\tfx\sc] \startuseMPgraphic{NumberDeco} size := 1.5cm; pickup pencircle scaled 2mm; draw fullcircle scaled size; % shifted (0,-25mm); label(textext("\bf\ss\switchtobodyfont[28pt] \namedheadnumber{chapter}"), (0mm,0mm)); %shifted (0,-25mm); z0 = (size/2 * cos(45), size/2 * sin(45)); z1 = (size/2 * cos(45), size/2 * sin(45)) + (size/2, size/2); linecap := butt; draw z0--z1; linecap := squared; draw z1--z1+(-size/2,0); draw z1--z1+(0,-size/2); \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[NumberDeco][\uniqueMPgraphic{NumberDeco}] \def\MyChapter#1#2{ %2 -- text, 1 -- cislo \framedtext[width=\overlaywidth, offset=10pt, strut=no, frame=off, % bottomframe=on, align=right]{% \vbox{#2}\vbox{#1} } } \def\Cislovani#1{ \framed[background={NumberDeco}, width=3cm, offset=5mm, align=center, frame=off] {~}%\vbox{\bf\rm\switchtobodyfont[48pt] \color[ChapterNumber]{#1}}} } \setuphead[chapter][ numbercommand=\Cislovani, style={\bf\switchtobodyfont[28pt]\ss}, before={\blank[0.5cm]}, after={\blank[0.5cm]}, page=no, ] \def\uv#1{\quotation{#1}} \setupcaption[location=none] %\definecolumnset[two][n=2] \def\bdvoj{ \startcolumns[n=2] %\startcolumnset[two] } \def\edvoj{ \stopcolumns %\stopcolumnset } \starttext \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \startfrontmatter \blank[5cm,force] \startalignment[middle] {\switchtobodyfont[32pt] Two cols fight} \stopalignment \stopfrontmatter %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \startbodymatter \setuppagenumber[state=start,number=5] \setupbackgrounds[header][text][frame=off,bottomframe=on] \setupheadertexts[{My two col book}][chapter] \title{Obsah} \placelist[chapter][alternative=c,interaction=no] \page \dorecurse{10} { \chapter{Pokus} \bdvoj \input knuth \input knuth \edvoj } \stopbodymatter \stoptext 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- 8<---- Thanks for help... -- Martin Bruchanov Skype : bruxytronics WWW : http://bruxy.regnet.cz/ GPG-Key : http://bruxy.regnet.cz/bruxy-gpg.key (0x8107ED53) Linked-In : http://www.linkedin.com/in/bruxy Google+ : http://gplus.to/BruXy

setupnotedefinition
by Thomas A. Schmitz 13 Feb '12

Hi all, the command \setupnotedefinition is no longer defined in the latest beta (strc-not.mkvi). Is this an oversight, or has it been replaced by something else? All best Thomas

mixing Greek and English texts
by Pablo Rodríguez 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Hi there, I would like to typeset a classical Greek text that contains a Greek-English dictionary and other explanations in English with Greek passages. In order to get proper hyphenation, I should define English as main language and tag all Greek in the text. This is a lot of work. The whole thing would be to apply command \agr when range={greekandcoptic,greekextended}. How could I do that? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk

questions on linenotes/notes
by Pablo Rodríguez 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Hi there, I'm trying to typeset the following kind of document: \setuppapersize[A6] \definelinenote[significa] \setupnote[significa][rule=off,paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\quad] \setupdescriptions[significa][display=yes,location=serried,distance=.5em] \definelinenote[contextualiza] \setupnote[contextualiza][rule=off,paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\quad] \setupdescriptions[contextualiza][display=yes,location=serried,distance=.5em,] \starttext \startlinenumbering En un lugar\significa{lugar: place} de la Mancha\contextualiza{La Mancha: Spanish region}, de cuyo nombre\significa{nombre: name} no quiero\significa{querer: want} acordarme\significa{acordarse: remember}\contextualiza{acordarme: Cervantes wants to forget his past}... \stoplinenumbering \stoptext It contains to kinds of line notes. I need them to have line numbers in the notes, but this doesn't work with latest beta (adding \setupnotation[significa][number=yes] doesn't work either). How can I have line numbers in the line notes? In both line notes groups, there can be many notes that come from the same line. Would it be possible that the number is only printed on the first note from each line? I mean, instead of having: 1 lugar: place 1 nombre: name 2 querer:want 2 acordarse: remember it would be extremely helpful to have the following option: 1 lugar: place nombre: name 2 querer:want acordarse: remember How could this be achieved? In the sample above, \significa is a kind of dictionary in each page. I wonder whether it would be possible for these notes to be displayed in two columns and alphabetically ordered. According to the ConTeXt Reference Manual, items can be displayed in columns and there is a sorting mechanism for lists, but I don't know how this could be applied to notes. Is this possible? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk
