Deprecated $…$ for inline math?
by Nicola 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

I read in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math) that $…$ for inline math is deprecated in favor of \m{…} and more verbose variants. Is that really the case? If so, what is the reason and what are the differences? Nicola

applying properties to columns / rows in xtables
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Dear list, having this basic xtable (adapted from xtables-mkiv.pdf): \starttext \startxtable[option=stretch] \startxrow \startxcell one \stopxcell \startxcell two \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell alpha \stopxcell \startxcell beta \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext Is there any way to apply properties to the first column and the second column without having to add an identifier to each xcell? In this sample, it would be easy. In a longer xtable, I would like to avoid it :-). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

two issues with xtables
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Dear list, I have the following table: \starttext \startalign[center] \startxtable[location=middle, frame=off, bottomframe=on, topframe=on, rulethickness=2em, %~ before={\startalign[center]}, after={\stopalign} ] \startxrow \startxcell test \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stopalign \stoptext Well, I thought location would center the table. Before and after (with \startalign) crash compilation. Aligning the whole table doesn’t seem to make any difference. Sorry, but how can I center the table and not its contents? The second issue is about rulethickness: would it be possible to specify different dimensions for each frame (top, bottom, left, right)? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Buffer with syntax highlighting
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hello, is it possible to \typebuffer with a syntax highlighting? \typefile allows to specific syntax highlighter, e.g. \typefile[TEX]{file.tex}; \typebuffer does not (AFAIK). It would be useful to have: \startbuffer[demo] \startitemize \item Hello! \stopitemize \stopbuffer which would get the original code and its result: " Sample code: \typebuffer[demo][syntax=ConTeXt] % Specify syntax highlighter, show the code produces: \getbuffer[demo] % Result " Is it possible somehow?

Titles numbering
by Michał Goliński 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

The following file used to give me numbered titles (and still gives numbered titles in TeXLive): \setuphead[part][ placehead=yes, page=yes, % number=yes ] \setuphead[chapter][ page=yes, % number=yes ] \starttext \startpart[title={Part one}] \startchapter[title={Fancy chapter name}] \startsection[title={A very very very long section title}, list={Shortened somewhat}] \input knuth \stopsection \stopchapter \stoppart \startbackmatter \startchapter[title={Contents}] \placecontent[criterium=all] \stopchapter \stopbackmatter \stoptext In the current beta, they are unnumbered. Has the syntax changed? Besides, according to wiki, "number=yes" should force a numbered title, while uncommenting these lines in fact suppresses the number in TeXLive (and does not help in beta). Is this a bug/work in progress or am I doing something wrong here? Regards Michał

new error in Context-Metapost
by Meer, Hans van der 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Some code that worked ok but hasn't been used for some time, now gives an error: missing $. It is working fine in ConTeXt, but putting it inside an MPpage goes wrong. Here a minimal example, the output of the ConTeXt run and the error on the MPpage run. Has something changed I missed? Hans van der Meer The error occurs in this code, my suspect is the cases macro. \starttext \startsetups[dif-1] $\displaystyle \Delta_{in} = 1000_2 \cases{(A,2)(2,A)&\cr (6,E)(E,6)&\cr} \buildrel S_1 \over \rightarrow \quad \Delta_{uit} = 1011_2 \cases{(6,D)(D,6)&\cr (B,0)(0,B)&\cr} $ \stopsetups \startMPpage label("\setup[dif-1]",origin); \stopMPpage \stoptext tex error > tex error on line 9 in file /Users/hansm/Documents/TeX/Test-tex/cases/cases.tex: !

Absolute position in table cell
by Volker Mische 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Hi all, I'd like to position some text in a corner of a natural table cell. I got as far as being able to put the same text on every cell (a "p" in the example). Now my problem is, how do I specify the contents of the overlay/layer on a per cell basis? Best for me would be if I could define the text directly within the cell. I'm surely open to a completely different solution that has the same outcome. Here's the minimal example of what I currently have. \starttext \definelayer [pagenumber][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight] \defineoverlay[pagenumber][{\directsetup{pagenumber}\tightlayer[pagenumber]}] \startsetups pagenumber \setlayerframed [pagenumber] [preset=rightbottom] {p} \stopsetups \bTABLE \setupTABLE[each][each][background=pagenumber] \bTR \bTD multiline \par text \eTD \bTD some cell \par with even \par more \par text \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Cheers, Volker

horizontal list of sections/topics?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi, this is a quick question before I start coding: for my next presentation style, I would like to have a list of topics with the current topic highlighted. There are already two styles in simpleslides doing this, but this time, I'd like the list to be horizontal, at the bottom of the slide. Is there already a listalternative for this? Or is it not too complex to have a \definelistalternative do this? Or would it be easier not to rely on the list mechanism but code something from scratch? Thanks for your advice and all best Thomas
