problem with \setupTABLE[c][odd][bottom=XX]
by Peter Münster 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Hello, as you already know, I use \setupTABLE[bottom=] to attach some tokens to a table-cell: \starttext \setupTABLE[c][odd][bottom=XX] \setupTABLE[c][even][bottom=YY] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD bla \eTD\bTD bla \eTD\bTR \eTABLE \stoptext But here, I get a second line with "XX". How could I avoid this? TIA for any hints! Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

splitting table into columns
by Peter Münster 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Hello, how could I split a table into columns in a clean manner? To show, what I want, I prepared the following example file: - the first page is ok for me, you see just the issue mentioned in http://context.literatesolutions.com/collector/15 - the 5th page looks clean - the 6th page looks also clean but should be balanced - all other pages are not ok... TIA for any hints, Peter \definecolumnset[example][n=3] \starttext \input tufte \section{Try with columns and tables} \startcolumns[n=3] \starttablehead \HL \NC A \NC B \NC\SR \HL \stoptablehead \starttabletail \HL \stoptabletail \starttables[|l|l|] \dorecurse{200}{\NC bla \NC bla \NC\AR} \stoptables \stopcolumns \page \input tufte \section{Try with columnset and tables} \startcolumnset[example] \starttablehead \HL \NC A \NC B \NC\SR \HL \stoptablehead \starttabletail \HL \stoptabletail \starttables[|l|l|] \dorecurse{200}{\NC bla \NC bla \NC\AR} \stoptables \stopcolumnset \page \input tufte \section{Try with columns and TABLE} \startcolumns[n=3] \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH A \eTH \bTH B \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{200}{\bTR \bTD bla \eTD \bTD bla \eTD \eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stopcolumns \page \input tufte \section{Try with columnset and TABLE} \startcolumnset[example] \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH A \eTH \bTH B \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{200}{\bTR \bTD bla \eTD \bTD bla \eTD \eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stopcolumnset \stoptext -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

emacs lisp for context in AucTeX
by Sanjoy Mahajan 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

I wrote the following emacs lisp for my .emacs and pass it on (no copyright) in case others find it useful. I used variants for a decade with the old tex mode, but just rewrote it for auctex and for context's display math syntax (which deprecates $$...$$). The purpose: 1. If you type {, [, or (, the appropriate right delimiter is inserted for you and the insertion point is placed between them. So I never get unbalanced XYZ errors. If you think it's a misfeature, delete the last three local-set-key's in the TeX-mode-hook. 2. Same feature if you type $ for inline math: you get $<insertion point here>$. The old tex-mode code would do the same on typing a second $, so you'd get $$<insertion point here>$$ for tex's display math. The code below will also do that, except in context mode. 3. In context mode, typing the second $ will gobble up preceding whitespace and then insert \placeformula\startformula <place insertion point here> \stopformula The whitespace-deletion code in start-context-math is a bit pathetic and any improvements are welcome. I couldn't get re-search-backward to work for me because it wouldn't match greedily (so it would gobble up one space but not all of them, for example), so instead it just looks one character at a time and deletes what it should. -Sanjoy (defun insert-balanced (left right) "Make a left, right delmiter pair and be poised to type inside of them." (interactive) (insert left) (save-excursion (insert right))) (defun start-context-math () (interactive) (let* ((start (max (point-min) (- (point) 1))) (stop (min (point-max) (+ (point) 1)))) ; if in the middle of a $$, turn inline math into context display math (if (equal "$$" (buffer-substring-no-properties start stop)) (progn (delete-region start stop) ;get rid of the $$ ; delete preceding spaces, if any (while (and (< (point-min) (point)) (equal (buffer-substring-no-properties (- (point) 1) (point)) " ")) (backward-delete-char 1)) ; delete a preceding newline, if any (if (equal (buffer-substring-no-properties (- (point) 1) (point)) "\n") (backward-delete-char 1)) ; place (insert "\n\\placeformula\\startformula\n") (save-excursion (insert "\n\\stopformula"))) ; else: just doing inline math (insert-balanced ?\$ ?\$)))) (add-hook 'ConTeXt-mode-hook '(lambda () (local-set-key "$" 'start-context-math))) (add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook '(lambda () (local-set-key "$" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert-balanced ?\$ ?\$))) (local-set-key "{" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert-balanced ?\{ ?\}))) (local-set-key "[" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert-balanced ?\[ ?\]))) (local-set-key "(" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert-balanced ?$ ?$)))))

help needed with difficult document structure
by Karsten Heymann 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Hello, I'm having a little bit of problem with the document structure of the project I'm currently typesetting. It's kind of a scientific magazine that consists mainly of independent articles. The articles use \section and \subsection and should have their own numbering, as well as for the caption numbers and such. Oh, and the article's internal sectioning should not appear in any table of contents. At a higher level each Article has it's title (and author) and groups of articles are put together in categories ("Studies", "Documentations", "Focus articles"). These Categories and the Article Titles should appear in the main TOC: Studies On This And On That John Doe ................... 7 Another Study B. E. Ginner .............. 10 Focus Articles A Focus Article N. Ewbie .................. 15 Documentation Content of Documentations . 19 Europe .................... 20 Asia ...................... 23 America ................... 37 Africa .................... 42 and so on. Chosing \part level for categories and \chapter/\title for article titles comes to mind, but \chapter influences \section numbering ("2.1") and \title doesn't reset all those counters, leaving alone the problem of getting the author into the toc. I guess I'll have to do this one by hand. To make things even funnier there is the documentation part, which has two levels of unnumbered sectioning, of which the first level goes to the main TOC and the first and second go to a dedicated documentation TOC directly preceding that part and listing first and second level: Documentation Content Europe Germany ............... 21 Netherlands ........... 22 Asia China ................. 24 and so on. Now I'm a bit unsure how to implement this cleanly in ConTeXt. I've already done it for LaTeX (from which we are switching because of ConTeXts superior layout abilities). I simply used two additional toc files for that. In Context I even don't get unnumbered sections in any toc :( (but maybe I'm just a bit over-tired...) I cannot expect a ready-to-run solution, but any hints or "best context practices" would be highly appreciated! Yours sincerely, Karsten

Multi-page table and lengthy caption
by Johannes Graumann 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Hello, In my field lengthy table captions are common. The attached example shows two problems I have with the multi-page tabeling I made work with the help of the included patch from Hans: 1) the table splitting does not calculate the right height for the caption - the table is too long for the page. 2) captions of this caliber should only appear together with the first part of the table and should be replaced with 'continued' or nothing when appearing with further parts. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to fix/achieve these two issues. Thanks, Joh

Two Problems: Colored Chapter and Footnote positioning
by Miguel Queiros 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hello, I'm facing two problems. The first one has to do with the fact that if I use \color[darkblue]{\chapter{Capitulo 1}} the line with \setuphead[chapter][header=empty] seems to be ignored because the chapter page gets the header too. I'v attached an example in the file "capitulo-cores.tex". The second problem has to do with the fact that in the attached file "footnote-posicao.tex" I changed the layout of the page, so that I could have a bigger right margin. The problem is that I would like to have the page number centered on "the page" and note on the new dimensions of the text area (don't know if I' been clear but I think you will understand if you look at the attached file). In fact I have a third problem that is the fact that the page number is repeated. I don't want to remove the line \setupfootertexts[][\setups{t_footer}] because I want the footer in 10pt. Thank you! Miguel Queirós ----------------------------------------------------------- \setupcolors[state=start] \setuphead[chapter][header=empty] \setupheadertexts[][chapter] \starttext \completecontent \color[darkblue]{\chapter{Capitulo 1}} % \chapter{\color[darkblue]{Capitulo 1}} \page Nada. \chapter{Capitulo 2} \page Nada. \chapter{Capitulo 3} \page Nada. \stoptext -----------------------------------------------------------

using \doifmodeelse the right way
by Peter Münster 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hello, \externalfigure[prefix-\doifmodeelse{blub}{blub}{notblub}][width=0.5\textwidth] does not work. I tried some combination of \expanded, \unexpanded, \expandafter etc but without success. In the end, I write: \doifmodeelse{blub}{% \externalfigure[prefix-blub][width=0.5\textwidth]}{% \externalfigure[prefix-notblub][width=0.5\textwidth]} Is this the most elegant way, or do you know better? (I would prefer less redundancy) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
