Arabic/Hindi numerals in layout structures (headers, page numbers, etc.)
by talazem＠fastmail.fm 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Dear all, When typesetting in Arabic (or, for that matter, other non-Latin scripts), how does one get numerals to appear ‘natively’ in layout structures such as headers, page numbers, line-numbering, and footnote numbers? In the case of Arabic, this means using the so-called “mashriqi”, or “Arabic-Indic”/“Arabic-Hindi” numerals. Is there some option when defining the font family? (I would have thought that using “\mainlanguage[arabic]” would have done it.) Of course, I am using a font that contains the numbers of that script. Mind you, if I manually type such numbers into the body of my text, they appear correctly. MWE below. Best wishes, Talal ===== \setuppapersize[A6] \mainlanguage[arabic] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][ALMFixed][features=arabic,range=arabic,] \setupbodyfont [mainface,10pt] \starttext \showframe \righttoleft %\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two] \section{section one} \startlinenumbering \input ward \stoplinenumbering \footnote{I would like the footnote number — like the page number, section number, and linenumbers — to be in the so-called Arabic-Indic script.} \section{section two} مرحباً بالعالم. ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩٠ مرحباً بالعالم. \stoptext =====

Formatting TOC
by robheus 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hello list, I need some adjustments to my TOC and chapter titles. 1. The title and the title of every chapter need to be indented (leaving enough room 2. The title of part does not need to be indented, but uses two consecutive lines, preceded and followed with a blank line, as follows DEEL <part number> <part title> 3. Chapter entries are on consecutive lines, except that between the first and second, and before the last chapter entry there is a blank line. (I use "\setuplist[chapter][before=]" and tried to use "\writebetweenlist[content]{\blank}" at the specified locations to get blank lines there, but this didn't work) 4. The part number needs to be capital roman numbers, and titles of chapters are preceded with the capital roman part number. (The option "conversion=Romannumerals" in "\setuphead[part]" doesn't seem to work) 5. There are 2 parts, part 1 with 5 chapters, part 2 with 4 chapters. Chapter numbering of part 1 only starts with 0 instead of 1. (I use currently the "ownnumber" option of \startchapter for all chapters of part 1, but is there a more simple or elegant option for this, just setting the chapter number 0 directly after part 1 starts or so?) Greetings, Rob The code I use now, is below: \setupheadtext[content=INHOUDSOPGAVE] % Kop boven de inhoudsopgave \setuphead[title][align=flushleft] \definecombinedlist[content][part,chapter] % welke structuur-elementen in de inhoudsopgave komen \setupcombinedlist[content][level=2, alternative=b] \setuphead[part][placehead=no,bodypartlabel=Deel,conversion=Romannumerals] \setuphead[chapter][page=right,indentnext=yes,align={nothyphenated},style=\bf,after={\blank[2cm]},sectionsegments=part:chapter] \setuphead[section][style=\bf,indentnext=yes,sectionsegments=chapter:section,align={nothyphenated}] \setuphead[subject][indentnext=yes,style=\tf] \define[3]\PartListEntry{ \vbox{DEEL #1\crlf #2} } \setuplist[part][state=start,headnumber=no,pagenumber=no,alternative=command,command=\PartListEntry] \setuplist[chapter][before=]

Process contents of xmlflush in context
by Xan 02 Aug '15

Hi, I use MKIV. I want to follow Schmitz tutorial [http://www.ntg.nl/maps/42/12.pdf] My problem is that when my xml contents has ConTeXt commands, it are ignored (printing as verbose not interpreted). How can I achieve that: <?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?> <?xml encoding='UTF-8'?> <activitats> <activitat id="1" tema="funcions" continguts="funció afí, dependència lineal, funcions a trossos"> <presentacio tipus="tradicional" sintaxi="context" verbs="modelització">La fitxa blava i la fitxa vermella es mouen de la manera següent: \startitemize \item la blava recorre \stopitemize </presentacio> </activitat> </activitats> is interpreted? I want that {\start,\stop}itemize is processed. My setup is: \startenvironment processadorxml \xmlloadonly{rebost}{dades/activitats.xml}{} \def\Activitat#1% {\xmlfilter{rebost} {/activitats/activitat[@id=='#1']/presentacio/command(xml:choose)} } \startxmlsetups xml:choose \startitem {\dontleavehmode{\xmlflush{#1}}} \stopitem \stopxmlsetups \stopenvironment Thanks a lot, Xan PS: Please, CCme.

Register customization for backmatter page numbers
by Rik 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

List, I have a book with frontmatter, bodymatter, and backmatter. The frontmatter is pagenumbered with lc roman, and the bodymatter and backmatter are numbered, all by block. The backmatter contain a glossary, pagenotes, bibliography, and an index. In addition to the frontmatter and the bodymatter, both the glossary and the pagenotes contain items that are indexed. I need to distinguish pagenumbers that appear in the index so that the reader can identify where in the book the page is located. For the frontmatter, that is not a problem. For items that appear in the bodymatter or backmatter, however, page numbers are not unique. One method that has been suggested is to prefix the pagenumber displayed in the index with a mark to indicate that the page is in the backmatter, or to italicize it, or to use an alternate font. I have looked at the defineconversionset and defineprocessor documentation and find no way to mark index entries appropriately. Can anyone suggest a way to do this, or some other method? Perhaps a pagecommand that compares the register item real page number to the highest real page number of the body? I would prefer a solution that does not require changing the register commands (\index) in the text. Continuous numbering across the frontmatter, bodymatter, and backmatter is not wanted, although as a last resort I might be able to argue for continuous numbering in the bodymatter and backmatter. -- Rik Kabel

Numbering subformulas broken?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

Hello, the following example (based on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/Display#Automatic_Sub-Formula_Numbering ): ---- \starttext \startsubformulas[eq:1] \placeformula[eq:1a] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \placeformula[eq:1b] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \placeformula[eq:1c] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \stopsubformulas Formula (\in[eq:1]) states the Pythagora's Theorem twice, once in (\in[eq:1a]) and again in (\in[eq:1b]) and \in[eq:1c]. \stoptext ---- has two faults: - subformulas 1b and 1c are not numbered (obviously, references to them show "??"), - vertical distance between 1c and 1b is somehow bigger that that between 1b and 1c. How to fix it? (Compiled with: ConTeXt ver: 2015.07.28 19:12 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.7.30 int: english/english.) Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Bleeding pictures as floats?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Hi, I hope BachoTeX was a success! Is it possible to use the float placing mechanisms for pictures that go beyond the type area or even beyond the page? In the book I’m typesetting, most pictures need to fill the whole width of the page (i.e. plus 3mm bleed), but not all cover a full page. I don’t know how to tell \externalfigure or \placefloat a negative offset. Or can I use layers with floats? Of course the text should flow around the pictures. BTW, what does the „object“ key of \setupexternalfigures do? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
