Marginal line numbers
by Jon Crump 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

All, Thanks to Thomas's help, I've been making my way up the learning curve. My TEI xml has empty lb elements indicating lines in the original and corresponding lb elements in the translation. I'd like to be able to set these numbers in the margin so that readers may coordinate the lineation. So far I have this: \startxmlsetups xml:lb \lineNumbers{\xmlatt{#1}{n}} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \defineinmargin [lineNumbers] [outer] [normal] which works, but I'd like to be able to set only every fifth or tenth line number. Is there a way to perform some arithmetic on the value of the n attribute and then execute \lineNumbers accordingly? for example: if n%5 == 0 then \lineNumbers else ignore <lb> Thanks, Jon

Hi all, what is wrong with the following typescript file? - Sorry the font's name is "Nothing.otf" \starttypescript [handwriting] [nothing] \definefontsynonym [Nothing-Regular][file:Nothing] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [handwriting] [nothing] [name] \definefontsynonym [Handwriting] [Nothing-Regular] \stoptypescrip \starttypescript [Nothing] \definetypeface [Nothing] [hw] [handwriting][nothing][default][features=default] \stoptypescript The reason to ask this is, that I can use the module simplefonts or \definedfont[name:nothing at 24pt] and these work. kind regards Willi

Hi, I don't no exactly when it changed, but it still worked in ConTeXt ver: 2010.09.05 13:23 MKIV. Now, there is a one page delay in \getmarking! Please run minimal exmaple below and look at page 7: Section = 1.2 B Header = 1.2 A Steffen ------- \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheader[align=middle] \def\KolumneL{{\convertnumber{Numbers}{\namedheadnumber{chapter}}.\,Teil:}\enskip\getmarking[chapter]} \def\KolumneR{\headnumber[section]\enskip\getmarking[section]} \setupheadertexts [\vtop{\startalignment[center]\KolumneR\stopalignment}] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [\vtop{\startalignment[center]\KolumneL\stopalignment}] \starttext \chapter[reference={Teil_1}, title={Einleitung}, bookmark={Einleitung}, list={Einleitung}, marking={Einleitung}] \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \section[ title={A}, marking={A}] \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \section[ title={B}, marking={B}] \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \stoptext

4000 pages limit?
by Marco Pessotto 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hello there. Yesterday I was trying to typeset a very, very long document (about 3000 pages in A4). Well, mkiv died with a PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (stack overflow (out of stack space)) It's easily reproducible with a simple \starttext \dorecurse{50000}{ \input knuth } Once it reaches page 4000 it will die. I'm obviously going to split the document, because a pdf of 4000 pages is just insane, but now I'm curious if this is a known limit. Bests -- Marco

FR: Wiki: Button to include code area
by Jonas Stein 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

My Featurerequest for the Wiki: in some wikis its possible to enhance the buttons in the edit window with own tags. I would suggest to add <context source=yes> $text </context> that should work like the link button that creates [[$text]] That would be fantastic! Thank you. -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

Three column nomenclature settings?
by seasoul 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Nomenclature can be considered as a type of synonyms. Therefore, I can define a nomenclature as : \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature] [criterium=all,location=serried] here I use location=serried, becasue I found the synonym is not in the same line ( higher than) the meaning. But I want a three-column nomenclature list. The first column is the synonym, the second is the meaning, the third is the si-unit of it, if the synonym has an unit. Like ------ p Pressure of xxx Pa l Length of xxx m ------- How to redefine the nomenclature command?

Which way to type greek letters in synonym list?
by seasoul 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Dear All, I am setting up the synonym list. I defined it as "nomenclature" \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature] [criterium=all,location=serried] when i type in someting like \nomenclature{A} {Area} it works. But if I type \nomenclature{$\alpha$}{Angle of something} it fails. The reason may be only text could be used. I found the list is sorted alphabetically. Then if I type a greek letter, the compiler does not konw how to sort it.

by Jonas Stein 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

in the wiki are many different links to the source repository. Most of them look strange, so there is one wich dates on 2010-MAR What is the repository you are working with? Somewhere i read about switching to git. Do you use git already? Kind Regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>
