Fully object-oriented section
by Giuseppe Bilotta 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Hello, I'd like to restart the thread about "object-orienting" section commands. Availability of \startpart ... \stoppart, \startchapter ...\stopchapter (alongside the faster \part, \chapter ... alternatives) becomes more and more a need for me. Having the mechanism standardized in ConTeXt would be a great thing. This is the way I'm implementing it by hand: %D New structured sectioning \newtoks\everybeforestartpart \newtoks\everyafterstartpart \newtoks\everystoppart \def\startpart{\dosingleempty\dostartpart} \def\dostartpart[#1]#2{% \bgroup\bgroup \the\everybeforestartpart \iffirstargument \part[#1]{#2}% \else \part{#2}% \fi \egroup \the\everyafterstartpart } \def\stoppart{\the\everystoppart\egroup} Using this snippet as the kernel and simply changing "part" to whatever other sectioning level is needed is enough to allow full customization of the sectioning levels. Can this be put in ConTeXt? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Tooltips
by Giuseppe Bilotta 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Hello, I notice that the "active area" that triggers tooltips is a little misplaced to the bottom right. Is this a "wanted" effect? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

problem with texfont
by Henning Hraban Ramm 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Ahoi! I discovered a little problem while installing fonts: Actual Linotype AFMs contain overlong lines (copyright information), about 450 characters. That confuses texfont, so that the following lines are not recognized. It helps to delete these lines manually, but would it be possible to enhance texfont to handle such nasties?

Bug in supp-pdf.tex/supp-mis.tex (?)
by Andreas Fieger 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Hello, though this is only partly a context question, I think this is the best place to ask. I am creating MetaPost figures containing text. When these are included in a TeX document processed by pdfLaTeX, context's supp-pdf.tex is loaded to perform the conversion. Consider the simple MP file (the space is essential) -------------------------------------- defaultfont:="ptmr8r"; beginfig(1); label(" 11", origin); endfig; -------------------------------------- This will result in a file like %%Page: 1 1 -6.25003 -3.38997 moveto ( 11) ptmr8r 10.00005 fshow showpage %%EOF If this MP file is included in a context document, everything is fine. -------------------------------------- \starttext \placefigure[][]{}{\externalfigure[minimal.mps]} \stoptext -------------------------------------- If it is included in a LaTeX document -------------------------------------- \documentclass{article} \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} \begin{document} \includegraphics{minimal.mps} \end{document} -------------------------------------- converted to ps with dvips, still everything is fine. When using -------------------------------------- \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} -------------------------------------- and pdfLaTeX to compile the file (this is when supp-pdf.tex is used), the " 11" disappears. I found this problem with every number from 11, 22, to 99 with a leading space -- even in the middle of a string: "Text: 118" would come out as "Text: 8". I don't have any clue what's going wrong. Any ideas? PS: Hans was so kind to provide a new supp-pdf.tex after a similar problem with labels startimg with an umlaut? file=supp-pdf.tex version=2001.07.27 file=supp-mis.tex version=1997.01.04 are used. Thanks, Andreas -- Dr. Andreas Fieger ServiceBarometer AG Tel (089) 896669-17

MP keyval interface
by Jens-Uwe Morawski 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Ahoi MP experts, i've tried to implement a keyval-interface in MP. Currently it looks like def keyvalFunc (text t) = begingroup; save status, col ; numeric status; string col ; t ; show status; show col ; endgroup; enddef; keyvalFunc(status=1.0; col="Hallo" ) ; This works, of course, but i would prefer if i could use a comma instead of the ";" to separate the keyval-pairs. Any ideas, how i can make "," be locally like ";"? Thanks in advance. Jens

heads and headers
by Matthew Huggett 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

Hi: Two questions: 1. How do I get section numbers in roman numerals instead of the default? 2. How do I get header texts to appear on every page AFTER the first page? The answers must be in the documentation but I haven't been able to them. I probably need new glasses :-) Thanks Matthew

Itemgroups settings
by Giuseppe Bilotta 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

Hello, I tried the following code: \defineitemgroup[numbers] \setupnumbers[each][intro,broad,packed,joinedup][left=$(,stopper=)$,symbol=n,margin=standard] \defineitemgroup[bullets] \setupbullets[each][intro,broad,packed,joinedup][symbol=1,margin=standard] \starttext Some text first \startnumbers \item One \startbullets \item Two \stopbullets \stopnumbers \stoptext Using the 2002.10.11 version of ConTeXt, the inner itemization (bullets) does not "use" the joinedup setting. The same happens if startbullets is the external and startnumbers is the internal. It doesn't happen if both itemgroups are of the same time, nor at the first level. Any ideas? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
