Perhaps missing braces in buff-ini.mkiv?
by Henri Menke 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Dear list, it seems as if there are braces missing in the definition of \buff_save around #2. \def\buff_save[#1][#2]% {... {\setupcurrentsavebuffer[\c!list={#1},\c!file=#2]}% ...} I think they are missing, because it makes the following work, even though arguments and key-value arguments shouldn't be mixed up. \startbuffer[hash] foo \stopbuffer \savebuffer[hash][hello.txt,prefix=no] \starttext \stoptext I think you should either make a third argument for a key-value list or just make the second argument the key-value list. Then users could input \savebuffer[hash][file=hello.txt,prefix=no]. Cheers, Henri

Get "right" numbers using blocks and enumerations
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to use blocks for answers in a text, but cannot get the numbering to work as I want. I have read about \processblocks at the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/processblocks) but I'm not sure that is my cure. I probably miss something easy... The problem is probably easiest shown by an example: %%% \defineblock[A] \hideblocks[A] \defineenumeration[A][ text=A, prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter, way=bychapter, ] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} \beginA \startA My first answer in the first chapter. \stopA \endA \beginA \startA My second answer in the first chapter. \stopA \endA \chapter{Second chapter} \beginA \startA My first answer in the second chapter. \stopA \endA \beginA \startA My second answer in the second chapter. \stopA \endA \chapter{Answers} \useblocks[A] \stoptext %%% I get, in the Answer chapter A 3.1, A 3.2, A 3.3 and A 3.4. What I want to have in the answer chapter is A 1.1, A 1.2, A 2.1 and A 2.2. (to follow the numbering in the chapters where the blocks were defined). Is it possible? What have I missed? Related: Is there a better way to set answers to questions? (Perhaps not having to write both the \begin... \start... \stop... \end... for every question? /Mikael

Enumeration: chapter in counter, problem next to placefigure, and documentation issues
by Florian Leupold 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Dear list, I am trying to use enumerations with MKIV I am a bit at a loss when it comes to the documentation (see below for a few issues). Working on a concrete example, I have come pretty close to what I want for my enumeration ‘theorem’: \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \setupenumerations[ alternative=left, text=Theorem, headstyle=bold, title=no, way=bychapter, stopper={:}, distance=1ex, width=fit, style=normal, hang=fit] \defineenumeration[theorem] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} \starttheorem The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. \stoptheorem \chapter{Second chapter} \placefigure[right, none]{}{\externalfigure[mill]} \starttheorem The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. \stoptheorem \stoptext QUESTIONS: 1) I would like to prefix the theorem counter with the chapter number, such that the number of the second theorem becomes 2.1. Can this be done? 2) Is it possible to circumvent the misplacement of the second theorem due to the placed figure? Ideally, the theorem would just use the space to the left it. Issues with the documentation: - In “ConTeXt Commands”, it says on page 224 that \setupenumeration inherits from \setupcounter; but in “ConTEXt reference manual", it says on page 246 that \setupenumerations inherits from \setupdescriptions. - In “ConTEXt reference manual”, the key “location” for \defineenumeration should probably replaced by “alternative”. Right now, all examples on page 247 are unaffected by this setting and hence look the same. - The wiki seems to use MKII, which makes a difference for the example on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/enumeration, which compiles differently under ConTeXT online. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Florian

Maybe my question was not clear enough but in any case your remedy does not help me. I have adapted your MWE containing the remedy a bit to make the problem a bit more obvious: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setinjector[register][3][\column] \setinjector[list] [][{\blank[3*big]}] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text] \blank[3*big] \startchapter[title={Introduction}] \startsection[title=Alpha] \index{first} \stopsection \startsection[title=Beta] second \index{second} \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={History}] \startsection[title=Gamma] third \index{third} \stopsection \startsection[title=Delta] fourth \index{fourth} \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Index}] \placeregister[index][criterium=text] \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% What I would need is a forced page break in the ToC, in this example before Chapter 2. A few months ago this could still be accomplished by inserting into the preamble "\definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page]", and "\placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.2=page}]" in the text. But now, with the same version of mkiv, nothing happens. Has this method of forcing a page-break in the ToC mysteriuosly diswppeared or do I use the worng command? Best regards, Robert Blackstone

insert pagebreak in toc (MkIV)

Dear all (but maybe in particular Dear Hans), I need a pagebreak in the ToC to avoid a widow. So far I used the method given in sept 2010 in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052739.html, and still on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break, but it does not seem to work anymore. MWE (from the first-mentioned site): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.1=page}] \chapter{x1} \section{xx1} \section{xx2} \chapter{y2} \section{yy1} \section{yy2} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Compiled with a recent mkiv, from between sept 2015 till july 2016, the result shows no page break in the ToC. What can be done about this? Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Wrong bookmark for TOC
by Henri Menke 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Dear list, when I specify that titles should be added to the bookmarks, the text of the bookmark is somewhat wrong. The heading of the table of contents is »Contents«, so I expect this to appear as bookmark. Unfortunately, the bookmark read »content« (all lowercase and singular). MWE is below. How do I fix this? Cheers, Henri --- \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,title][force=yes] \starttext \completecontent \stoptext
