resetting footnote counter
by Robert Zydenbos 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

What I've done is the following: I've made a zip archive (see attachment) with a few relevant files – the two first files that will be a part of the book: preface.tex and how-to-use.tex, together with an environment file manual-environment-xasia.tex with a lot of settings, and the starting file sample.tex which puts everything together. This does not need odd things like exotic fonts, and it does not contain uncommon tables etc. I've changed the main font to TeX Gyre Termes, which all of us have (so I assume, since it comes with the major TeX distributions), so there should be no problems there either; but if there is an error message, you can comment out line 12 in manual-environment-xasia.tex and de-comment line 13 to turn the font into Times (or you can change the name of the font to anything you have on your computer). Right now I am using an iMac with the latest OS installed. The 'footnotes' will be placed at the end of the chapters (i.e., they will be endnotes). If you run sample.tex through ConTeXt and XeTeX (i.e., MkII) and look at the final page, you will see that the footnote / endnote marker has not been reset. Robert > On 9.

resetting footnote counter
by Robert Zydenbos 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

A simple footnote question this time. I would like to print endnotes at the end of every chapter in my book, and then reset the footnote counter so that in the next chapter the first note will be ‘1’ again. I suppose this should be done by means of \setupfootnotes – but with which parameter? Robert

seeindex problem with recent betas
by Rik Kabel 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

With older versions of ConTeXt (including that in TL18) seeindex entries pointing to a multi-level (plussed) index entry worked (visually, at least) without complaint. The output might look like: Digby, John 73 Dilbert see Adams+Scott Dirac, Paul 287 or Digby, John 73 Dilbert see Adams, Scott Dirac, Paul 287 where the second part is a literal repeat of what is in the second argument of seeindex. (It is not, however, linked to the plussed entry as it would be to a single-level entry.) However, current version (2018.07.27 19:12) generates a result like: Digby, John 73 Dilbert Dirac, Paul 287 along with the warning: structure > registers > invalid crosslink : Adams+Scott, ignored Surely it is better to display the non-linked see entry as before (together with the warning message so that the non-linking is pointed out) and have a printable document than it is to display an empty entry! -- Rik

Define the dimensions of a layout
by Fabrice Couvreur 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hello, I want the text area to be surrounded by a margin of 20 mm (top, right, left and bottom). I have already done this to have a left and right margin of 20 mm. \setuplayout [height=middle, backspace=20mm, width=middle] I think that I must now have : topdistance + header + headerdistance = 20mm footerdistance + footer + bottomdistance + bottom = 20 mm How to do ? Thanks Fabrice

question regarding \placefloats
by Susanne G. Loeber 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Dear Reader, I have a document with figures and tables. I have tried to use the command \placefloats to create a list of all my floats as recommended on the page Floating Objects, section Flushing floats. There it states: The command \placefloats outputs all pending floats. I hoped to get a list with all tables, all figures and all other possible floats.That list would either be sorted per chapter or sorted per float. However, I was not able to make it work at all. In the appendix, you can find my struggles. First: \placefloats does not work. \placelistoffloats does not exist as a command My solution is two seperate commands, one for the tables \placelistoftables and one for the figures \completelistoffigures. Question: how to use \placefloats correctly to get a list of all floats? Second: \startcombination[1*2] looks nice, but does not add information to the \placelistoffigures . My solution is to place the \startcombination inside a \placefigure. Question: Is there a better way? Kind regards, thanks, Susanne

faulty to unicode mapping of chars encoded with surrogate pairs?
by Ulrike Fischer 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

when I compile the following with context \pdfvariable compresslevel=0 \starttext $f$ \stoptext I get in the pdf 1 beginbfchar <0515> <D875DC53> endbfchar D875DC53 is according to http://www.russellcottrell.com/greek/utilities/surrogatepaircalculator.htm the codepoint 2D453 and this is not a valid unicode point. As a result copy& paste doesn't work correctly. A similar example with xelatex writes D835DC53 (remark the 3 instead of the 7) instead in the pdf which gives the correct code point 1D453 and copies fine. lualatex gives the faulty value too. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

xrightarrow is not straight
by Joshua Moerman 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi ConTeXt mailing list, I am using the extensible arrows and I am not really satisfied with the looks of it. The most important issue I have is that the vertical spacing is too much. You can see this in the attached picture: the left arrow is using \xrightarrow{\neq a} and the right arrow is using \stackrel{\neq a}{\longrightarrow}. I think the right one (with stackrel) looks more natural. Is there a way to setup the vertical spacing? Another thing I noticed is that the line is not very consistent. This might be a font issue (I am using Euler). Luckily, the inconsistent overlap is barely visible when printed. Thanks again! Groetjes, Joshua

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes in titles, 3 years old file compiles now different
by Huseyin Özoguz 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

I forget: I use now luatex beta 0.80.0 (and Context from 2015.04.15), but the old pdf was compiled with luatex 0.77.0, is that the difference, which deleted the footnote? (I hope this does not break the thread....never learned how to use mail-lists with thunderbird)

Footnotes in titles, 3 years old file compiles now different
by Huseyin Özoguz 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hello together, I have a file from 2015, which contains something like this: \section{title\footnote{ftn-content}} And the compiled pdf from then show the footnote correct and with the number in order to the other footnotes. But now I have compiled it again without differences, and the footnote disappears. I have read about this and basically it says that apart from local footnotes its not possible anymore (?) to set footnotes in titles (s.t. the numbers stay in order to all the other footnotes). What changed since 2015? That is a problem for me because I have to compile a book from then to print it again (with minor other corrections in the text, but nothing in style). How to achieve the same result like back then? Thank you! Huseyin
