Ahh! Dutch names. I searched for the real name of the figurenumber to solve an other problem I posted a few days ago. And so I was looking for the right präfix for float (figure) or caption (don't even know where that number lives). Grüße aus der Rhön Wolfgang

Your example doesn't use \setupfloat[figure][default={page,high,none}] and I found, that the option 'page' in this statement toggles indenting of next paragraph! I don't understand this at all. Please, can someone explain the interrelation between these two things? And a second: It seems, that \setupfloats[indentnext=yes] has nothing to do with indenting of next paragraph. What is the real meaning of this option? Wolfgang

Homogeneous captions for figures
by Renaud AUBIN 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi all, I wanted to obtain to obtain an homogeneous formatting for my captions whenever I use \placefigure or \placefloatcaption within combination, so I've tried \setupcaption and \setupcaptions but \starttext \setupcaptions[align=left] % or \setupcaption[figure][align=left] \startuseMPgraphic{dummy} numeric u; u := 5cm; draw origin--(1u,1u); draw (0,1u)--(1u,0); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[here]{A \dorecurse{20}{very\ } long caption}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}} \startbuffer \startcombination[1*2] {\useMPgraphic{dummy}}{\placefloatcaption[figure]{A \dorecurse{20}{very\ } long caption}} {\useMPgraphic{dummy}}{\placefloatcaption[figure]{A \dorecurse{20}{very\ } long caption}} \stopcombination \stopbuffer \placefigure[page]{none}{\getbuffer} \stoptext leads to 1 output file written: caption-mpgraph.1 Transcript written on caption-mpgraph.log. [MP to PDF] (./caption-mpgraph.1) (/home/renaud/texmf/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex) ! Argument of \floatcaptionparameter has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \p!doifinsetelse ...onefalse \edef \!!stringa {#3} \ifx \!!stringa \empty \el... <argument> ...le \floatcaptionparameter }\c!align {\let \captionovershoot \!... \firstofoneargument #1->#1 \dopreparestackcaptionaut ...shoot \!!zeropoint }} \edef \captionhsize {\the ... ... l.11 ...ery\ } long caption}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}} Bug ? BTW, I need a quick solution for my PhD dissertation... so any suggestions are welcome. I've also tried \setupcombinations with various align values but failed to find a good solution... I use ConTeXt ver: 2006.09.07 17:50 MK II fmt: 2006.9.9 Cheers, Renaud

Re: [NTG-context] Intermediate files in subdirectory
by Fredrik Sjunnesson 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Thank you Mojca. The main reason for asking is that I intend to try to convince my employer to adopt ConTeXt as a tool for producing technical documents. In my view, ConTeXt is obviously far superior to MS Word, which we use today, for that purpose. Since ConTeXt represents a way of producing documents that is very different from what our managers are used to, it will, however, be important that ConTeXt doesn't appear more complex than it actually is. A way to hide the abundance of intermediate files from the user would clearly be helpful in that respect. I will give the tools you suggest a try, maybe they are good enough. Thanks, Fredrik On 9/8/06, Fredrik Sjunnesson wrote: > Hello, > > Is there any way to specify where the intermediate files and log files > generated by context end up? > > Ideally, I would like my working directory to contain tex and pdf files > only.

I wish I was wrong, but as far as I know you can't do it (yet?), although there have been many requests for it. To remove unneeded files you can use ctxtools --purge [--all] (texutill --purge[all] if you don't have the ruby variant installed yet) although I know that that's not quite the same. (I know some people in LaTeX world who use make files to copy/remove files.)

But aren't there any unwanted sideeffects? There must be a good reason for Hans, to NOT include this in the output-routine. Btw. are the ??xx (here ??bk) Variables document somewhere? Wolfgang

DTD
by Peter Rolf 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi, is there a public DTD (RNC prefered) for the context macro format in cont-en.xml? I also searched for the DTD of the rl-database, but without success. The only thing I found is x-fig-00.dtd, which describes the fig-database format. Greetings, Peter

Define doifoneelse
by Aditya Mahajan 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi, I want to define a macro, \doifoneelse, that checks if the first argument is 1 or not. It should work for decimals and strings also. So, \doifoneelse{1}{a}{b} gives a \doifoneelse{1.5}{a}{b} gives b \doifonelese{string}{a}{b} gives b Can someone suggest how to define this? Thanks, Aditya
