Hidden chapter header? ... was: Change counter of chapters
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Hello ConTeXist My last Subject contribution maybe so misleading that it nobody react. I'll try therefore to bring different view: Exist any possibility of creating some kind of hidden chapters (sections, subsections)? The command would increase the counter of chapters (sections, subsections). Maybe it seems as rape of ConTeXt, but in certain moments this option would help me. In my case it is the integration of practical part of project (worked in ConTeXt) into Word project:-(... For example I need to start writing any text from 53 page and such from the 5th chapter (or section). It is possible in a similar way as I set the start page number set also the counter of chapters (sections)? Thanx for help. Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: \starttext %\hiddenchapter{Fictive chapter} %\hiddenchapter{Fictive chapter} %\hiddenchapter{Fictive chapter} %\hiddenchapter{Fictive chapter} \page \setcounter[userpage][53] \chapter{Fifth (actually first) nonfictive chapter} blablabla \stoptext

imposition not working in latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Hans, I’m afraid that imposition is not working with latest beta. Either the command (it crashes): context --extra=arrange --printformat=2UP --paperformat=A4*A3,landscape a.pdf Or the following sample has no text in output: \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging [2UP] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Howto typeset physical half-life
by Christian Prim 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Hi a year or so before one could simply typeset the physical half-life as shown in MWE: \usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext ½ α \m{T_α} \m{T_½} \stoptext The greek letter is just to show, that utf-8 works as expected. In actual beta (and probably longer before) this doesn't work anymore. What have I missed? Thanks Christian

How to exclude certain figures from list of figures in ConTeXt?
by Geert Verhaag 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi, I was wondering whether it is possible to exclude certain figures of a document using the \placelistoffigures command in ConTeXt? For example those that start having a reference like ['fig:figure:exclude']? Gerard

how to set figure label ?
by Harald Koenig 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi, how can I set a "label" for a figure without \placefigure[][fig:...]{} for some "figures" I use strange macros -- and at those places I get errors when calling \placefigure BUT I'd like to check the page numbers of those places using \doifreferencefoundelse{fig:bild\the\bildnr}% and right now I get references > unknown reference '[][fig:bild5]' for those pictures... thanks -- and greetings from the DANTE meeting in Stralsund, Germany Harald PS: Hans -- we miss you so much!!! -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.

line numbers position
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \mainlanguage[es] \setuppapersize[A7] \setuppagenumbering[location=,] \starttext \startlinenumbering \input cervantes-es \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Compiled with latest beta, line numbers are partly off the page: http://www.ousia.tk/latestbeta-linenumbers.png. Compiled with beta from 2014.03.07 11:42, they fit in the page: http://www.ousia.tk/20140307-linenumbers.png. Is this an old bug or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

setupthinrules
by Thangalin 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi, >From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupthinrules : \define\BeforeCommand{Before} \define\AfterCommand{After} \define\BetweenCommand{Between} \setupthinrules[ before=\BeforeCommand, after=\AfterCommand, inbetween=\BetweenCommand, color=gray, height=1em, ] \starttext \input knuth \thinrule \input knuth \stoptext This does not produce the expected output; it appears as though the before/after/inbetween commands, as documented on the wiki, have no behaviour. Pandoc uses "thinrule" (probably because it spans the page by default) when generating ConTeXt documents. Using only thinrule, how would you go about making a "totally sweet" (ornamental) horizontal rule, such as those shown at: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/76555/2148 Thank you!

wrong vertical spacing in latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hans, this sample: \showgrid \setupbodyfont[30pt] \starttext {\tfa\setupinterlinespace \ConTeXt\par}\\ {\tfxx\setupinterlinespace Author\par}\\ {\tfxx\setupinterlinespace\currentdate\par}\\ {\tf\setupinterlinespace url\par} \stoptext With either latest beta or beta from 2015.03.25 22:13, last line in the sample is on grid line number 3. With stable beta from TL14 (2014.05.21 22:04), last line from sample is after grid line 6. I’m afraid it might be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Handling line numbers in frontmatter.
by John Culleton 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

In the sample shown below I get correct (roman) line numbers but the very first page, imported from plug.tex has an unwanted page number. If I surround that page with: \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no,page=yes] and \stopstandardmakeup the page number disappears but the page count is wrong by one. Page numbers are roman. I have tried changing the page number sequence using e.g,: \setcounter[userpage][-4] but that has no effect. I tried iv instead of 4 but that didn't work either. MKIV and Texlive 2014. ----------------------------------------------- \starttext \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[state=start] %\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no,page=yes] \input plug.tex %\stopstandardmakeup \page[yes] \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no,page=yes] \stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no,page=yes] \externalfigure[graph1.pdf][width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \stopstandardmakeup %\setcounter[userpage][number=4] \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no,page=yes] {\obeylines {\bf From Kitchen to Market-Sell Your Specialty Food} 6th Edition Stephen F.
