Different formatting of section numbers for title and references.
by Aditya Mahajan 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi, I want a setup in which section numbers are Roman (I, II, etc.) and subsection numbers are Character (A, B, etc. without the section number prefixed). This is easy to achieve using \setupsection[section-3][bodypartconversion=Romannumerals] \setupsection[section-4][bodypartconversion=Character, previousnumber=no] However, when I reference these sections, I want \in[section] to give I (which it does happens) and \in[subsection] to give I-A. How can I achieve the correct reference numbering for subsections? Thanks, Aditya

using \doifnumberelse in a ToC numbercommand=
by Stuart Jansen 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I asked this question a couple of days ago, but didn't get any takers. I don't want to be a pest, but it's frustrating to be so close yet unable to solve this final problem. Let's see if rephrasing the question helps. I'm trying to use \doifnumberelse in a \setuplist numbercommand= but it isn't working. The simplified example below shows the very specific table of contents layout I'm trying to accomplish. You will note that both the chapter number and the appendix letter are labeled with "Appendix" when in fact I want the chapter to be labeled "Chapter". Does anyone know either (a) how to get \doifnumberelse to work in this situation or (b) if there's a better way I should have done this instead. ----- \def\mychapterlistnumber#1{\vbox{% \doifnumberelse{#1}{Chapter}{Appendix} #1\crlf}} \def\mysectionlistnumber#1{\emspace\emspace} \def\mysectionlisttext#1{% \doifelse{#1}{Lab Tasks}{\hskip-1em\bf#1\hfilll}{#1}} \setuplist[chapter][width=1em,numberstyle=bold,% numbercommand=\mychapterlistnumber,textstyle=bold] \setuplist[section][width=2em,numbercommand=\mysectionlistnumber,% textcommand=\mysectionlisttext] \starttext \bgroup{}Table of Contents\egroup\par \startcolumns[n=2,distance=.3in,balance=no] \bgroup \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=all,alternative=b] \egroup \stopcolumns \page \chapter{Foo} \section{Bar} \input knuth \startappendices \chapter{Corge} \section{Grault} \input zapf \stopappendices \stoptext ----- -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

compiling project files
by Derek Schmidt 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi there, I'm a complete ConTeXt newbie, so please be patient with me. :) I'm putting together a book and I'm trying to use the project structure that Context likes so much. My components come out beautifully--they are chapters in the book. The product file is the actual book. I don't have the code in front of me, but it looks very much like the examples given in the manuals and at ContextGarden. When I texexec it, it runs but only produces and empty table of contents with the word Contents at the top. It won't list the chapters, forget about actually printing their content. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I'm guessing this might not be enough info for you to help. I'll try to answer any questions as best I can. Thanks and all best, Derek

Purpose(s) of texmfstart
by John R. Culleton 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

I have read a great deal about the details of texmfstart. I still don't have a handle on what its purpose is. Did anyone write a manual on the program or create a comprehensive wiki entry? BTW I solved my problem with texmfstart and with upgrading Context in general by creating the separate, standalone minimal Context-Linux installation as described in an earlier post, which pointed to a long wiki, which fortunately I could take and use as a script. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

How to make startalignment middle not change the linewidth
by Aditya Mahajan 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, It seems that startalignment[middle] does not like long lines. Consider the following example (not strictly minimal, but I can not get such a marginal case with default setup). \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[ width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, topspace=.75in, bottomspace=0.75in, backspace=0.75in, cutspace=0.75in, leftmargin=0in, rightmargin=0in, leftmargindistance=0in, rightmargindistance=0in, header=0in, footer=0in, headerdistace=0in, footerdistance=0in, ] \definetypeface[ieee] [rm] [serif] [times] [texansi] \definetypeface[ieee] [mm] [maths] [modern] [texansi] \setupbodyfont[ieee,10pt] \definefont[TitleFont] [Regular at 24pt] \setvariables[paper] [ title={Optimal Performance of Feedback Control Systems with Limited Communication over Noisy Channels}] \starttext {\TitleFont\setupinterlinespace \getvariable{paper}{title} \blank[1.0em]\endgraf} \startalignment[middle] {\TitleFont\setupinterlinespace \getvariable{paper}{title} \blank[1.0em]\endgraf} \stopalignment \stoptext How can I get the same linebreaking as the first case, but with each line middle aligned?

nonbreakablespace

Hi, Suddenly nonbreakablespace stopped working for me :-( It works in the garden so I guess that something is wrong in my setup. Can someone test whether this compiles fine at their end? \starttext A~B \stoptext For me, this makes context hang!! Aditya

Extra vertical space in intertext
by Aditya Mahajan 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Hi, There is an extra vertical space in the first set of formulas, while the vertical spacing in the second set appears to be fine. I can not figure out why this should happen. Even if you comment the setupformulas line, the first set of formulas seem to allocate more space for the intertext. \setupformulas[align=right,spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none] % There appears to be extra space, even if I put % spacebefore=spaceafter=big % align = right is for visualization purpose only \starttext \startTEXpage \startformula \startalign \NC A \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC C \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula test outside formula \startformula \startalign \NC A \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC C \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula \blank[big] \startformula \startalign \NC \int_0^1 \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC \int_0^1 \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula test outside formula \startformula \startalign \NC \int_0^1 \NC B \NR \intertext{test} \NC \int_0^1 \NC D \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stopTEXpage \stoptext And what is happening with the start stop TEX page here. Why is the last line cut off! Thanks, Aditya

figure directory is sort of searched
by Sanjoy Mahajan 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

I still can't figure this problem one out, from a few months ago, and it happens with a recent ConTeXt (2006.08.08 21:51). The figure searching code gets confused if a file of the same basename (but in a different directory) has already been loaded. Here is a minimal min.tex to show what I mean: \starttext \setupexternalfigures[directory={1}] \placefigure[here][ch1fig]{should be 1/fig-1.pdf}{\externalfigure[fig-1.pdf]} \setupexternalfigures[directory={2}] \placefigure[here][ch2fig1]{should be 2/fig-1.pdf}{\externalfigure[fig-1.pdf]} \placefigure[here][ch2fig2]{should be 2/fig-2.pdf}{\externalfigure[fig-2.pdf]} \stoptext Probably it's a silly idea to use \setupexternalfigures within the body, but the same problem happens when using components (where each component's preamble has a similar line), where it makes more sense. Here is the directory structure, and all the files are attached as a small (15KB) .tgz: min.tex 1/fig-1.pdf 2/fig-1.pdf 2/fig-2.pdf The final (third) figure is correctly found as 2/fig-2.pdf. But the second figure is reused from 1/fig-1.pdf because another fig-1.pdf has already been found: as 1/fig-1.pdf. Here is the relevant bit from the texexec output: <./1/fig-1.pdf> figures : dimensions of 1/fig-1.pdf loaded from figurefile itself (./min.tuo) (/home/sanjoy/texmf/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex) floatblocks : 1 placed figures : figureobject fig-1.pdf is reused floatblocks : 2 placed <./2/fig-2.pdf> figures : dimensions of 2/fig-2.pdf loaded from figurefile itself floatblocks : 3 placed One part of ConTeXt does know the right figure path. A \getfiguredimensions[fig-1.pdf] after the second \placefigure will trigger a kpathsea search for 2/fig-1.pdf, which it finds. But it still loads 1/fig-1.pdf, which is why I've said 'sort of searched' in the subject line. It seems that the decision about whether a figure is already loaded is made in core-fig.tex, in \def\calculateexternalfigure[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6]% ... \ifcase\figurestatus \let\@@efframe\v!on \let\@@efobject\v!no \showmessage\m!figures1\@@effilename \or \showmessage\m!figures2\@@effullname \or \showmessage\m!figures3{\@@effullname,\@@eflenttype}% \or \showmessage\m!figures4\@@effullname \or \showmessage\m!figures5{\@@effullname,\@@efloadname}% \or % no message \doifnot\@@efsymbol\v!yes{\showmessage\m!figures8\@@effullname}% \fi ... The "no message" comment suggests that when \figurestatus isn't set, the message shown is figures8, which is 8: figureobject -- is reused But I couldn't figure out who sets \figurestatus and where the judgement of 'already loaded' is made. The comment at the beginning of the above \def ("this whole mess needs a clean up anyway") scared me off :-) -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' - Bertrand de Jouvenal

This was brought in the diskussion by mistake. In section 1.8 grid=line was introduced as a shortcut for grid={broad,high,depth}. But these two options are differing. Wolfgang
