Dotted line in ToC
by marfin 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

I’ve in my Table of Contents a dotted line in entries for section. But the dots don’t end in a virtual vertical line before the pagenumbers (because of the common width of »head and pagenumber«?). 1. What can I do for a clear right border of dots? 2. What is the way to define the distance between the dots (dotsep)? \definelist [section] \setuplist [section] [alternative=c] \definecombinedlist [content] [chapter,section] [level=section] \starttext \placecontent \chapter{Chapter} \section{Section} \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth} \section{Section} \setuppagenumber [number=20,state=start] \stoptext Thanks in advance!

I agree with this! A feature could be to save the last used random value in the tuc, so that one can continue with the former used sequenz. But this should not be used automatically, too. May be one should than say \setupsystem[random=last] Wolfgang

This does not work! I get allways the same. And shouldn't the tuc-seed be overwriten from my os.time-seed? Wolfgang

Hallo, I get allways (10 times at least) the same result: ------------------------------------------------------------- \starttext \startluacode math.randomseed(os.time()) \stopluacode Encode your Name and Surname as a \startluacode local a = {'null-terminated', 'dollar-terminated', 'Pascal'} context('%s string', a[math.random(1,3)]) \stopluacode \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- How can I randomize this?

Extra page created at end of document
by Tom 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

The following code creates an extra page at the end of the pdf for a total of 3 pages: \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \starttext %\startfrontmatter \input knuth %\stopfrontmatter \stoptext But this code doesn't create that third page: \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I need to handle the creation of my book using frontmatter, etc. parts and don't want to create that unneeded page at the end.
