Why uses Context 8r encoding used instead of the specified ec encoding?
by Stefan Wachter 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Hi all! Fonts are driving my crazy! I have the following document that clearly states that the font encoding should be "ec". Yet, somewhere behind the scenes the ec-encoded font uhvr8t is mapped into the 8r-encoded font uhvr8r. Can someone reveal this deep secret? Best regards, --Stefan PS: The pdfmapline instruction cause the uhvr8r font not to be embedded. Doing so proves that Context really uses the uhvr8r font and not the uhvr8t font. \enableregime[il1] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupoutput[pdftex] \usetypescriptfile[pdf-typescript.tex] \usetypescript[pdf] \setupbodyfont[MyHelvetica,sans,20pt] \setupheadertexts[] \pdfoptionpdfminorversion 4 \starttext \pdfmapline{=uhvr8r Helvetica "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc} This is a test. \stoptext With the typescriptfile pdf-typescript.tex: \starttypescript [sans] [xhelvetica] [name] \writestatus{x}{y} \definefontsynonym [Sans] [uhvr8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [uhvb8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [uhvro8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [uhvro8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [uhvbo8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [uhvbo8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [uhvr8t] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [pdf] \definetypeface [MyHelvetica] [ss] [sans] [xhelvetica] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript

Page numbers in margin?
by Matt Gushee 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Hello, all-- I am creating a layout for electronic books in which all the body text is in a single, fairly narrow column, with minimal space at the top and bottom of each page. I would like to place page numbers in the left margin, aligned with the bottom of the text, and the running heads (if any) also in the left margin, aligned with the top of the text. Is there a way to do this in ConTeXt? I can see that the standard page numbering and header commands don't support this kind of placement. I can come very close to the desired effect with the following: * Place the page numbers in the margin area of the footer, e.g.: \setuppagenumbering [...,location=inleft] * Place the header text in the margin area of the header, e.g.: \setupheadertext [margin] [section] [] * Use negative dimensions to cause the header and footer to overlap the text area, e.g.: \setuplayout [...,headerdistance=-0.35in,footerdistance=-0.5in] As I said, this comes very close to the desired effect, but it seems impossible to align the header text and page numbers with the main text. Also, the header texts are mostly too long to fit on a single line in the margin, and I have not found a way to induce line wrapping. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO, USA

\footnotetext

Hello, here a problem with \note and \footnotetext in \starttables. Only one footnote is possible: \starttext \starttables[|p(13em)|p(13em)|] \VL SomeText \VL SomeText\note[n1] \VL \AR \footnotetext[n1]{1. note} \dorecurse{50}{\VL SomeText \VL SomeText \VL \AR} %\VL SomeText \VL SomeText\note[n2] \VL \AR \footnotetext[n2]{2. note} \stoptables This is better than localfootnotes, since the footnote appears on the right page. But unfortunatly it won't work with the second footnote: \starttyping ERROR: Undefined control sequence. --- TeX said --- <argument> \lastnotenumber \stoptyping \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Blocks in a macro?
by Michal Kvasnicka 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Good evening. How can I include \begin<block> ... \end<block> into a macro? I have defined: \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \defineenumeration[question][location=serried, coupling=answer] \defineenumeration[answer][location=serried, coupling=answer] \hideblocks[answer] I'd like to simplify my code from \beginquestion \startquestion question ... \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \answer answer ... \par \endanswer to \q{question ...}{answer ...} \q begin something like this: \def\q{% \beginquestion \question #1\par \endquestion \beginanswer \answer #2\par \endanswer } But no question/anwer is written into .tub file (only the beginning/end of those blocks). Any hint? Many thanks. Your sincerely Michal Kvasnicka

Cross-reference to PDF via web
by Michal Kvasnicka 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Good evening. Is it possible to acces a inter-file cross-reference via web? I have some documents for my students, all created with ConTeXt. Each chapter in each document has a cross-reference. I can access one document from another via web like this: \goto{here}[URL(http://www.econ.muni.cz/\~qasar/vyuka/barro/barrografy.pdf)] Is it possible to go to some specific chapter? I tried \goto{here}[URL(http://www.econ.muni.cz/\~qasar/vyuka/barro/barrografy.pdf)::chap:somechpater] but it didn't worked. Is it possible to do it somehow? Many thanks for your answers. M.K.

title, subject & table of contents
by VnPenguin 13 Feb '05

Hi all, When I use: ----------------------------------------------------------- \setuplist [chapter] [before=\blank, after=\blank, style=bold] \setuplist [section] [alternative=c] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section][alternative=c] \chapter{One} \section{One A} Blahblah \section{One B} Blahblah \chapter{Two} \section{Two A} Blahblah \section{Two B} Blahblah \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------------- I got TOC perfectly. But if I replace \chapter by \title; \section by \subject, I can not have a TOC at all. This is the code: ------------------------------------------------------------------ \setuplist [title] [before=\blank, after=\blank, style=bold] \setuplist [subject] [alternative=c] \starttext \placelist[title,subject][alternative=c] \title{One} \subject{One A} Blahblah \subject{One B} Blahblah \title{Two} \subject{Two A} Blahblah \subject{Two B} Blahblah \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas for help me ? Thank you in advance, Quy NGUYEN-DAI

Yes. More precisely, chapter 1 - 5 would have a black box in the margin at the top right of each right page, then chapters 6 to whatever have the next box below, and so on. I usually do this ‘manually’ in a DTP app (by defining a set of master pages and applying them selectively to a group of ‘chapters’) but ConTeXt is clearly capable of doing it automatically. And I bet ConTeXt could also be persuaded to place white text on the box as well... I’ve read through the MetaFun manual. It’s amazing technology, but a bit too advanced for me at present.
