horizontal position
by Wolfgang Schuster 05 Nov '09

Hi, whats the best method to determine the current horizontal position in the text because I want to write a commands which behaves different whether it appears at the begin, end or in the middle of the text. pdfTeX’s savepos information are not the best method because it could take (in the worst case) to many when i have many macros in a paragraph, display math mode can give me the information i want (in combination with savepos information) but i wan't to know if there a side effects. Example: \def\position {\bgroup \forgetdisplayskips \everymath{}% \everydisplay{}% $$\xdef\theposition{\the\predisplaysize}$$% \vskip-2\baselineskip \hskip\dimexpr\theposition-2em\relax \ifhmode\aftergroup\space\fi\aftergroup\theposition \egroup} \starttext text text \position{} text text text text text text text \position{} text \stoptext Wolfgang

Sorry, Wolfgang, this trick does not work too and breaks other settings. :( Do you have another idea, pls? >> Actually, this does not work.

Hi Wolfgang, Actually, this does not work. Adding this option only adds blank lines between items, that is, breaks other options. \setupitemize[1, indenting=yes, packed, nowhite, intext] > \setupitemize[indenting=yes] > > Wolfgang Minimal example: \starttext \setupitemize[1, indenting=yes, packed, nowhite, intext] Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text \startitemize \item {\it OpenGL }(Open Graphics Library) – найбільш розвитий і швидкий промисловий стандарт, \item {\it Direсt3D –} використовується як убудована мова в операційних системах Windows, \item {\it Heidi} – використовується в AutoCAD і інших програмах. використовується в AutoCAD і інших програмах. \stopitemize Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text Some Text \stoptext Regards, Vyatcheslav

about math accents \ddot
by Dalyoung 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Dear all, I am trying to put three dots over "X" in math mode. In LaTeX, \dddot gives what I wanted by using amsmath packages. In ConTeXt, $\ddot X$ gives two dots over X, but \dddot yields a "undefined control sequence" error. "newmath" module doesn't support this accent. Please give me a good way to do that. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

How to achieve this? You should ask context related question on the context list. \setupitemize[indenting=yes] Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] Define exercise captions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 05 Nov '09

Please, disregard my last question about enumeration setup. Now I know more and created definition that works fine for me: \defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, prefix=yes, prefixset=section, titleleft=, titleright=, after=, inbetween={\blank[medium]}] The trick is that after sets space after the next paragraph text. I wonder why http://texshow.contextgarden.net/cmd/setupenumerations is empty. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Setup captions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 05 Nov '09

Hi all, How to setup captions so that they include only section number (no subsections, etc.) and figure number within the section? That is, <SectionNumber>.<FigureNumber> My first guess \setupcaptions[style=\tfx, prefix=yes, prefixset=section] does not work. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Thank you, Aditya, for help! My further questions: Why after={}or after= does not remove the space between enumeration caption and next paragraph? For example: \defineenumeration[exercise][title=yes, text=Вправа, prefix=yes, prefixset=section, titleleft=, titleright=, after=] \exercise{Розрахунок кривої, яка плавно з'єднує заданий відрізок та точку на площині}Якщо нам потрібно з'єднати, наприклад, відрізок, який лежить... produces blank line after the caption. Could we have all the switches listed in tex-show, btw? Now you probably think that giving me advise to use enumerations was not good idea )) Regards, Vyatcheslav
