Form with character separators
by DesdeChaves 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

I would like to produce a form with a character separators. However, my code presents two problems: first, the character box has no fixed dimensions and, two, I can't indent the text when it occupies multiple lines (ex, address field). I tried to use the starttabulate environment, but without sucess. My questions are: Can I fix the size of the boxes? and Can I apply the starttabulate environment to indent the field description and align all descriptors and fields names (name, age, sex, race, address, ...)? Thanks in advance Jorge

Register sort method for unicode quotes
by Rik Kabel 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Is there a sort method that can be specified for register sorts that will ignore unicode quote marks (“‘’”) in the same way that primes ("') are ignored. This was asked in 2010 (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg51348.html) and not answered. It is still a problem. Is there a sort method that can be applied as well to sorted lists to do this? \definesorting[Sort][Sorts] \starttext \placelistofSorts[criterium=all] \placeindex[n=1,method=default] \index{"Hope" is the thing with feathers} \index{Hope is the thing with feathers} \index{Hop is the thing with feathers} \index{“Hope” is the thing with feathers} \Sort["Hope" is]{"Hope" is the thing with feathers} \Sort[“Hope” is]{“Hope” is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Hope is]{Hope is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Hop is]{Hop is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Dope is]{Dope is the thing with feathers} \Sort[Rope is]{Rope is the thing with feathers} \stoptext -- Rik

Questions on registers, and on processors used with registers
by Rik Kabel 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

A few questions on registers, and on processors used with registers: Can processors be used on entries in \setregisterentry? My tests so far have not been successful. Can processors be used on one level of a two-level register {\index{Name+Processor->quotation precis}? Again, no success with attempts. Can something other than page numbers be the indexed item? I have a book with many quotations, each identified by a number (generated by \definelabel). For an index of quotations, it would be more useful to point to that quotation number than the page number. Perhaps the last requirement would be served by building a list with the quote number and quotation precis, suppressing the page numbers with pagenumber=\gobbleoneargument. But placelist does not seem to behave as one would hope. The example in the wiki for setuplist (shown below) does not print the numbers (1., 2.) in the first braced argument to writetolist. \definelist[Reprints][criterium=all] \starttext \section{Sec 1} \writetolist[Reprints]{1.}{List entry A} \subsection{Subsec 1} \writebetweenlist[Reprints]{\hrule} \writetolist[Reprints]{2.}{List entry B} \completelist[Reprints] \stoptext I would prefer a register solution to take advantage of similar formatting (column support and such) provided there, since this will appear with the book’s standard indices. -- Rik

Ampersand followed by semicolon in XML: possible bug?
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello list, I've found what it looks like a bug in XML handling in ConTeXt. Try this: \startbuffer[test] <text>  Me & my friends; you & your friends.  Me & my friends. You & your friends.  Me & my friends; you & your friends. </text> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:somesetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{text}{xml:text} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p}{xml:p} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:somesetups} \startxmlsetups xml:text \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par\blank[line] \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext In the first case, the ampersand and the following semicolon are eaten up. I've found a way around, until the bug is fixed (if it's a bug and not my limited knowledge of ConTeXt): put a XML comment after the ampersand, and everything works as expected.
