Roman numerals in running heads in frontmatter.
by John Culleton 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

When I set up running heads in frontmattter like this: \definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[title]}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\Titlea}] (where \Titlea is a string containing the book title) everything is fine except the page numbers in the running heads are in arabic and not roman format. On the footers on \title pages the numbers are roman as expected..

Is this a bug or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

ConTeXt Suite in Windows
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

Dear list, I have downloaded the ConTeXt Suite (beta from 2015.04.14 18:48)for Win32 and Win64 in my Linux box using: sh ./first-setup.sh --platform=windows --modules=all sh ./first-setup.sh --platform=win64 --modules=all But when I try to run them, I experience the following issues: With the Win32 version, mtxrunjit is found by Windows 7, but contextjit cannot be found. The binary is in its proper path. Withe the Win64 version, contextjit is found, but mtxrunjit cannot be found. In this case, I need to run "mtxrunjit --generate" first, because invoking contextjit gives the following error: mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Why are some binaries found by Windows and others not? Many thanks for your help, Pabl -- http://www.ousia.tk

\setuphead for all existing sections
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

Hello, is there a way to affect (setup) all sections that have been defined, like: ---- \setuphead[*][distance=1.5em] ---- instead of: ---- \setuphead[part,chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection][distance=1.5em] ---- The latter way needs to know all section names; the former way allows to modify them all, without knowledge of their individual names.

Oddity with \definereferenceformat
by Rik Kabel 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

A reference to the text of a multi-line heading takes on the line breaks of the heading when \definereferenceformat[about] is used. \definereferenceformat[about][type=title,left=,right=] \starttext \startsection[reference={sec:one}, title={Three\\line\\title}] \startparagraph See \about[sec:one]. \stopparagraph \stopsection \stoptext Can this be repaired? Or, am I doing it wrong? -- Rik

vertical spacing and makeups
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \showgrid \setupinteraction[option=max] \setuppapersize[S6] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupbodyfont[100pt] \setupwhitespace[big] \startsetups[setups:slides] \setupwhitespace[big] \stopsetups \setupmakeup[pagestate=start] \definemakeup[slides][setups=setups:slides] \definemakeup[slide] \starttext \startmakeup[slides]\ConTeXt\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slide]\ConTeXt\stopmakeup \page\ConTeXt \startmakeup[slides]program\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slides]descender\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slide]program\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slide]descender\stopmakeup \page program \page descender \stoptext The first page shows that \setupwhitespace[big] affects to a single line in a makeup. Shouldn’t white space be added only between paragraphs? The second page is right vertically centered. And the third page shows that the white space isn’t added before the first paragraph in a normal page (no makeup). This is the first issue, isn’t it a bug? Or what am I missing? The second issue is about the line height. If I didn’t get it wrong from Hans some days ago, line height is the x-height, plus ascender and descender heights. In vertical centering for makeups, why does ascender or descender height affect to basline position? Sorry, but this is a problem for readability. And it think it is better to center the line instead than a group of glyphs. Or am I missing something in this second issue too? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

It took me a while to make your code operational in the way I need it. For the new example you gave is still an "integral file". My project, like most book-projects, I guess, is modular with a master file Project.tex, into which everything else, setups, .bbl's, front- and backmatter, the various chapters are input. Though strictly speaking it would not be impossible to add some 1000 lines of index entries before \startproject, it would not be especially handy, and I cannot believe that it would be the proper ConTeXt-way to do it. I found that when I split your code, transferred the top part to a new file, which I named "IndexItems", and input that into the other half, the text proper, it works. But when I add another file with indexentries, for instance "indexitemsnames", then only one of them, the one at the top is used. So it seems that the whole collection of index items must be in one file. Is that the only possibility or are there ways to enable the use of several collections of index items? Best regards, Robert

A macro which gives a random name
by Otared Kavian 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Hi everyone, In the example below I define a macro which chooses at random a name from a list of names. But I wonder whether this can be done in a more clever way without using a numerical macro created with math.random in Lua. The shortcoming of the macro below is that before hand I must know the nomber of elements in the list of names (for instance 5 in the example below), while it may happen that I need to create as many as random names that there are elements in the list, but sometimes I don’t know what is this number. Thanks for any insight and help. Best regards: OK %%%% begin random-names.tex \setuprandomize[2015] % set a seed \starttext \startluacode Name = {'F', 'G', 'u', 'v', 'W'} \stopluacode \define[3]\RandomName{% \setevalue{Named#1}{\ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(#2,#3))}}} \define\RandomFunctionName{\ctxlua{tex.print(Name[\NamedFunctionNumber])}} \dorecurse{10}{\RandomName{FunctionNumber}{1}{5}% Give an example of a function $\RandomFunctionName : {\Bbb R} \longrightarrow {\Bbb R}$ which has a derivative only at the origin, and such that $\RandomFunctionName(0) = 1$.\par \hairline\par} \stoptext %%%% begin random-names.tex

This code works beautifully in this way, with only a few index entries at the top of the file, before \starttext. But how can I deal with the thousand or more index items in my project, which I have collected in four separate dedicated files with indexentries, like the three shown in the example-code. I have really no idea what else should be in these files, what sort of name they should have, in particular extension, and how and where I can input them. I use TeXShop as my texteditor but that is probably not relevant here. Can you give me some guidance, please? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Caption location with vertical \startplacefigure
