Problem with figure placing
by Richard Gabriel 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hello ConTeXters, I have the following problem with placing figures into the document: Sometimes, when there are more larger images and fewer text, TeX lets some of the images run out of the page (see the attached screenshot). This hapens in very, very seldom cases - e.g. whole the document contains more than 200 images and this issue occurs on one or two places... For placing images, I'm using the following commands: \page[bigpreference] \placefigure[here][fig-xyz]{Figure caption}{\externalfigure[xyz.png][scale=3000,maxwidth=\textwidth]} The \page[bigpreference] command handles this situation quite well except certain cases (like it's shown in the attachment). I really don't understand how TeX can typeset anything outside the given page area... Here is my page setup: \definepapersize[MAN][width=17.5cm,height=22cm] \setuppapersize[MAN][A4] \setuplayout[location=middle, marking=on, topspace=1cm, backspace=1.5cm, height=middle, width=middle, header=1cm, footer=1cm] Does anybody guess? Many thanks, Richard

\lowerleftdoubleninequote (German quotes)
by Frank Grieshaber 05 May '05

05 May '05

Dear all, I want to use German double quotes for my text but noticed that the beginning double quotation sign/glyph is somewhat corrupt: there is a bigger distance between the two signs than is with the ending double quote (which are typographically correct). To make this a bit clearer, I have appended to this email an examle. If you look very carfully you can see this effect already in the Context Manual, chapter 10.8 page 198 (\lowerleftdoubleninequote). The Code of the appended pdf is the following: \mainlanguage [de] rules, quote signs etc. \starttext Dies ist ein \quotation{Test}. \stoptext Has anybody noticed this error, or does anybody know a solution? Thanks, Frank

> The bad news is that now I have a lot more questions concerning the It really seems that I do... I played around with the capitalization commands and got some interesting results. My test file is (works in live.contextgarden.net if required): --- \enableregime[il1] \starttext abcABCåäöÅÄÖ \cap{abcABCåäöÅÄÖ} \uppercased{abcABCåäöÅÄÖ} \WORD{abcABCåäöÅÄÖ} \uppercase{abcABCåäöÅÄÖ} \stoptext --- So, the test string is: abcABC\aumlaut\aring\oumlaut\Aumlaut\Aring\Oumlaut (just in case it does not display correctly). It gives: \cap -> ABCABCÅÄÖÅÄÖ (in \tfx size), just as expected \uppercased -> ABCABCåäöÅÄÖ (ABC's in \tfx, rest untouched) \WORD -> ABCABCÅÄÖxxx (where xxx's are gibberish) \uppercase -> ABCABCÅÄÖxxx The plain TeX \uppercase seems to be known for its nasty behaviour with anything else than US characters. \WORD seems to be a thin wrapper around it, so similar behaviour is to be expected. \uppercased makes interesting things, as it does uppercase the abc's well but does not touch the accented characters in any way. Only \cap seems to do exactly what it should. --- Things become even stranger, when the regime is switched to UTF-8. Then \WORD and \uppercase give some errors and refuse to compile. \uppercased and \cap work as described above. --- As \uppercase is a plain TeX macro, fixing it is not a good choice, especially because it is known to be bad. However, if \WORD could be built on \cap but without the font size changing, it would work fine. The odd behaviour of \uppercased (and the reasons to use it instead of the other choices) remains unclear to me. - Ville

> However, this is a workaround, another way of attacking it (it can be > better, too, stylistically, as you can change the font independently): > \setuphead [title] [textcommand=\uppercase] And that works, thanks! --- The bad news is that now I have a lot more questions concerning the heading formatting. There are several parameters which can be used: style textstyle textcommand numberstyle numbercommand This is how I understand those (please, correct me when I am wrong). Let us assume we have a chapter heading saying "Chapter 1. Title" in the following examples: style=\bf -> {\bf Chapter 1.}{\bf Title} textstyle=\bf -> {Chapter 1.}{\bf Title} numberstyle=\bf -> {\bf Chapter 1.}{\bf Title} If I got it right this far, then I think I get these. The relevant parts of the heading are prepended with the given commands (whatever they then may be). But this mechanism does work only with the commands which change the style from that point onwards (e.g., \it, \tfx). What about the commands which take the text as a parameter (such as \cap{text})? And what are textcommand and numbercommand? I tried playing a bit with them. For example, \it or \bf can be put either as textstyle=\it or textcommand=\it. On the other hand, the \uppercase can be used only with textstyle. So, there is a difference as the name suggests (my initial guess was that the difference is exactly what I ask above, but doesn't seem to be so). Where on Earth is \uppercase explained? I tried looking for it in the manual -- in vain. I found some references to \uppercased which seems to be another beast. Thank you for your patience. If the stuff is not explained in other places, I can Wiki it once I understand it. - Ville

Supress chapter number in sections
by Randall Skelton 03 May '05

03 May '05

I've fiddled with almost every parameter in sethead but cannot seem to find the correct one. I'd like to suppress the chapter numbers in a relatively large document such that numbering of sections, tables, figures and equations begins at 1 instead of 1.1. Is there a simple way to do this? Here are how my chapters and sections are currently defined: \def\MyChapterText#1{\leftaligned{#1}} \setuphead[Topic,chapter] [textcommand=\MyChapterText, textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[Titling,20pt]\sc}, color=black, number=no, page=right, continue=no, header=empty, distance=0pt, before=\vbox to 3cm\bgroup, after=\vss\egroup] \def\MySectionText#1{\switchtobodyfont[12pt]\sc\lowercase{#1}} \setuphead[Subject, section] [textcommand=\MySectionText, style={\sc}, color=black, before={\blank[2*big]}, after={\blank[2*big]}] Many thanks, Randall

Re: Pb compiling s-pre-61.tex
by olivier Turlier 03 May '05

Hi, I've felt into same pb's trying to compile s-pre-61.tex directly from it's original source. As far I can see (just to the surface of the screen in fact) it's related to a specific font installed at Pragma, not available for everyone as is. if I replace or uncomment : \usetypescriptfile[type-ghz] \definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans][optima-nova][default][encoding=\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[mainface,ss,18pt] and put such general font switch like : \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern,ss,11pt] it compile without pbs.

Changing Title Font in \completecontent
by Randall Skelton 03 May '05

03 May '05

Is there a way to change the title font being used for a table of contents page being displayed by \completecontent? My original thought was to use the same layout as a regular chapter: \chapter{Table of Contents} \placecontents but after reading the manuals a few times, I realized this was doomed to fail. Using \completecontent, I'd like to be able to have 'Contents' or 'Table of Contents' written with my standard \setuphead[chapter] definition. As it stands, \completecontent generates a single roman 'Contents' at the top of the page while all my other titles are offset in position, aligned right, and in small caps... Any ideas? Many thanks, Randall

Capitalized headings
by Ville Voipio 03 May '05

03 May '05

I've been trying to make capitalized (uppercase) headings with little success. I'd like to have the titles simply capitalized as with \cap or \WORD. A minimal example: --- \setuphead[title][style=WORD] \starttext \title{This is a title} The title should be \cap{capitalized} or \WORD{capitalized}. \stoptext --- What should I give as the style? I have tried the following: style=WORD -> no effect style=Caps -> no effect style=uppercased -> no effect style=CAP -> no effect style=Cap -> no effect style=cap -> error style=kap -> error style=smallcaps -> small caps (when the font supports) It is interesting to get an error message for the "style=cap", because this is one of the listed options in the definition of \setuphead in the manual. What did a do wrong? - Ville

startsectionblockenvironment bug?
by Stuart Jansen 03 May '05

03 May '05

My understanding is that the following code should produce two chapter pages with a page number at the top, followed by an index page without a page number. That is not what happens. Am I correct that this is a bug? Is there a bugzilla or something similar where I should be reporting the problem? \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \stopsectionblockenvironment \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no] % avoid generation of an extra \setupsectionblock[backpart][page=no] % page at the end of the doc \startbodymatter \chapter{foo} \section{bar} \index{bar} \section{baz} \chapter{qux} \section{quux} \index{quux} \section{corge} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \page \placeindex \stopbackmatter -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

setuppagenumbering way=chapter and indexes
by Stuart Jansen 03 May '05

03 May '05

I'd like to reset the page number with each chapter and prepend the chapter number to the page number. Something like Chapter One Foo 1-1 Bar 1-2 Chapter Two Baz 2-1 Qux 2-3 Now here's where it gets complicated: I also need to generate an index using this same numbering. Index B Bar 1-2,2-1 Q Qux 1-1,2-3 I've played with many different approaches and can achieve 85% functionality, but generating the index is turning out to be killer. Any suggestions? Better yet, does anyone already have example code doing this? -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.
