Numbering chapters from an arbitrary number
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hello, I'd need to start numbering chapters from number 3. (The previous chapters 1 and 2 were prepared otherwise, I'm to continue.) Is any parameter mentioned on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setuphead supposed for this? Or how? Cheers, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Hi everybody, again a question by me, I found out that metaobj is included in ConTeXt minimals and now try to figure out how to input this in a ConTeXt document so I can use it in a \startuseMPgraphic{name} METAOBJ code \stopuseMPgraphic environment.

Grabbing first letter of a sentence
by Mathieu Boespflug 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi, I'd like to get access to the first letter of a chapter for the purpose of laying out the chapter heading, but I'm having difficulty with expansion. Here's my attempt: \def\MyChapterTitle#1#2{% \def\doMyChapterTitle##1##2^{% {\tfb ##1}##2 } #1 \doMyChapterTitle#2^ } setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapterTitle] \starttext \chapter{Foo} bar \stoptext This doesn't work because the chapter title isn't expanded out before passing it to \MyChapterTitle. I know there is deeptextcommand but I need the chapter title during the layout of chapter number + title, so I need to use command instead of deeptextcommand. I attempted to get hold of the chapter title using the following \def\MyChapterTitle#1#2{% \def\doMyChapterTitle##1##2^{% {\tfb ##1}##2 } #1 \expandafter\doMyChapterTitle\expandafter{\fetchmark[chapter][first]}^ } but that doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas? Many thanks, M

Section horizontal space adjustment (LaTeX -> ConTeXt) (reduced attachs)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hello all, what is the simplest way how to change the horizontal space between the number and the name of a section (chapter, subsection...)? (Migrating from LaTeX to ConTeXt.) There are two test documents attached - - t-Sec2.pdf - to see the default view of LaTeX section number/text spacing, - t-Sec.pdf - to see the same by ConTeXt (i.e. some less h-space). What is the best (or simplest) way how to adjust this? I tried to work with stopper and/or separator in \setupheads, but - to be honest - I don't know when they go to an action. I achieved the required job by defining a new command \MyCmd - but is this the best way? Or are there better options or commands to achieve this? - See the code (and result): --- \def\MyCmd#1#2{#1\hskip3ex#2} \setupheads[stopper=STOPPER,separator=SEPARATOR,command=\MyCmd] % When are the "stopper" and "separator" applied? \starttext \chapter{AAA} \section{BBB} uuu \stoptext --- Cheers, Lukas -- Ing.

Hook environment into head/structure setup
by Andreas Harder 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi all, I don't think it is yet possible, but it would be nice if there was something like: \setuphead % or perhaps \setupstructure [chapter] [beforestructure=\startlinenumbering, afterstructure=\stoplinenumbering] Which should result in: \startlinenumbering \startchapter[title=test] Text \stopchapter \stoplinenumbering Is there already a way to achieve this? I've consequently used \start-\stopchapter, maybe one can append \start-\stoplinenumbering to them? I would appreciate any help Andreas

I could confirm that there is the problem with context minimal installation on linux-64. The cause of the problem is missing permission for executable. Currently I could build the formats only if I split the actions: update and make. P.S. To ensure that the same problem would not arise in future the 'update' and 'make' procedures should be splitted and between them 'chmod +x bin/texlua tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luatex' (texmf-$platform) is inserted. --- WBR, Vladimir. -- Perfect day for scrubbing the floor and other exciting things.
