File name to print to include %

Hello, I'd like to get: "%Home%" with \hyphenatedfilename to the Ctx output. But, these two methods don't work: \hyphenatedfilename{\%Home\%} -- gives "\%Home\%" and \hyphenatedfilename{%Home%} -- (obviously) produces error. So what to write into \hyphenatedfilename to get "%Home%"? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Something simalar to the following TikZ-Example (wrapped in ConTeXt): ```tex \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \starttikzpicture \draw (0, 0) node[text width=2.5cm,align=center] {Start new Game}; \stoptikzpicture \startMPcode draw "Start new Game" infont defaultfont scaled defaultscale; \stopMPcode \stoptext ``` TIA Norbert

indentnext=auto
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Mar '15

Dear gang, For export we have to tag paragraphs. After block quotes, itemizations, etc, the context determines whether the first line of the next paragraph should be indented, so we use the indentnext=auto mechanism. But with \start|stopparagraph it doesn't seem to work: See attached. ==================== \setupindenting[big,yes] % Do not indent the first line of a block quote \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][before={\blank[medium] \setupindenting[no]},after={\blank[medium]}] % Do not indent the first line after a block quote \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][indentnext=auto] \starttext \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \startblockquote \input ward \stopblockquote \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \startblockquote \input ward \stopblockquote \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stoptext ==================== From what I understand, if [indentnext=auto] is activated then a blank line after the environment should activate indenting; no blank line after the environment should impede indenting. In this example, we get no indentation either way. Am I missing something, or is it a bug? By the way, something like \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][indentnext=yes] \startparagraph[indenting=no] \input ward \stopparagraph would be a nice feature. Any chance?

tlig in the export
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Dear gang, It appears that internal opentype feature tlig is not supported in the export. For current purposes this is not critical; but not sure if this is intentional or a bug, so reporting it here. =============== \setupbackend[export=yes] \starttext \startchapter[title=The tlig feature] \startparagraph In \TeX\ it is still common to use two keyboard dashes to obtain an en-dash. An en dash is used to indicate a number range, e.g., 1785--1906. In \TeX\ it is still common to use three keyboard dashes to obtain an em-dash. An em-dash is used to indicate a prominent parenthesis---in modern usage the en-dash is becoming more popular for this task---as well as between the end of an epigraph and its author. In \Context\ there is a dedicated control sequence for the en-dash. An en-dash is used to indicate a number range, e.g., 1785\endash{}1906. In \Context\ there is a dedicated control sequence to obtain an em-dash. An em-dash is used to indicate a prominent parenthesis\emdash{}in modern usage the en-dash is becoming more popular for this task\emdash{}as well as between the end of an epigraph and its author. \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stoptext =============== Thanks and best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Exporting highlights
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Dear gang, Ok, I'm rolling up my sleeves and taking another stab at exporting to xhtml (maybe even epub). Major project, so taking this one small step at a time. The immediate aim is to get correct output in a browser (I use Opera, and Chrome as a control). Test files attached. Immediate problem is highlights. ============export-highlight.tex============== \setupbackend [export=yes,css=highlight.css] \definehighlight[emphasis] [style=italic] \definehighlight[important][style=bold] \definehighlight[regular][style=\tf] \starttext \startchapter[title=Highlights] \startparagraph This is \emphasis{emphasis}. This is \important{important}. This is \regular{regular}. This is \emphasis{some emphasized text, with \regular{regular} in between}. This is \important{some important text, with \regular{regular} in between}. \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stoptext =============================================== In highlight.css (copied from export-sample.css and modified) I added these lines: ================== highlight [detail="emphasis"]{ font-weight : italic ; } highlight [detail="important"]{ font-weight : bold ; } highlight [detail="regular"]{ font-weight : regular ; } ================== Results: =======export-highlight-tag.xhtml======== <sectioncontent> <paragraph>This is <highlight detail="emphasis">emphasis</highlight>. This is <highlight detail="important">important</highlight>. This is <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight>. <break/> This is <highlight detail="emphasis">some emphasized text, with <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight> in between</highlight>. <break/> This is <highlight detail="important">some important text, with <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight> in between</highlight>.</paragraph> </sectioncontent> =======export-highlight-div.xhtml======== <div class="paragraph">This is <div class="highlight emphasis">emphasis</div>. This is <div class="highlight important">important</div>. This is <div class="highlight regular">regular</div>. <div class="break"></div> This is <div class="highlight emphasis">some emphasized text, with <div class="highlight regular">regular</div> in between</div>. <div class="break"></div> This is <div class="highlight important">some important text, with <div class="highlight regular">regular</div> in between</div>.</div> ========================================= Observation: Opera won't render *-raw.xml, so we ignore that file. In a browser we have Challenge 1: Neither export-highlight-tag.xhtml nor export-highlight-div.xhtml renders the highlights. What do we need to do? Challenge 2: export-highlight-div.xhtml breaks the line before a highlight as well as after a highlight. What is missing here? Aim: To turn my current project into an epub, or at least something that can be viewed in a browser (xhtml). Caveat: I don't know much web development (css, xhtml, div, etc) but am willing to work with what I have... but only IF there is a finish line. If there is no finish line (i.e., things are too broken at the moment to get the mission accomplished via what ConTeXt and CSS provide) kindly let me know so I can stop now! Henning Hraban Ramm and Aditya Mahajan mentioned XSLT stylesheets, but this is probably way above my paygrade, unless someone can give me very simple newbie pointers. Thanks to all in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Styling captions inside \startcombination ... \stopcombination
by Mojca Miklavec 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hello, I'm using the following code to make the figure captions smaller: \setupcaptions[style={\switchtobodyfont[8pt]}] Now I'm looking for the magic keywoard to also decrease the size of captions inside combinations, as in the following case for example (otherwise the "subcaptions" are too big in comparison): \setupcaptions[style={\switchtobodyfont[8pt]}] \setupexternalfigures[location={default}] \starttext \placefigure{Cows in \ConTeXt} {\startcombination[2*1] {\mirror{\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm]}}{First cow} {\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm]}{Second cow} \stopcombination} \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

currentreferencerealpage wrong (how to detect even/odd pages?)
by Harald Koenig 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi, right now I use \currentreferencerealpage to detect if I'm on an even or odd page (because my picture placement rules depend on it) like this: \newcount\bildpage \bildpage=1 % ... \def\bild#1...{% {\global\bildpage=\realpageno}% \ifodd\bildpage \def\eo{o}\else \def\eo{e}\fi % ... \if o\eo odd...\else even...\fi \message{>> bildpage=\the\bildpage \space eo=\eo \space currentreferencerealpage=\currentreferencerealpage \space << }% } but now I notice that for some pages/pictures the value of \currentreferencerealpage is not correct (only for the first picture on a new page?):-( I'm writing some ">> ... <<" data to the log file: pages > flushing realpage 34, userpage 34 >> bildpage=35 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=35 << >> bildpage=35 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=35 << pages > flushing realpage 35, userpage 35 >> bildpage=35 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=35 << >> bildpage=36 eo=e currentreferencerealpage=36 << pages > flushing realpage 36, userpage 36 >> bildpage=37 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=0 << >> bildpage=37 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=0 << >> bildpage=37 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=0 << typically after that "flushing realpage XX, userpage XX" messages (not from me;) the currentreferencerealpage is set to the new page number. but NOT for page 36: here after "flushing realpage 35" it's still currentreferencerealpage=35 for the first picture on this page:-( any idea how this can go wrong ? what can I test, which debug info can I provide ? is there a possible the attached zip file contains a "minimal" example with only 2 pages and 4 images: on the 2nd page (#36) the first image should bleed to the left like all other pictures... so far this seems to happen 3 times according to the log file: pages > flushing realpage 10, userpage 10 >> bildpage=11 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=11 << >> bildpage=12 eo=e currentreferencerealpage=12 << pages > flushing realpage 11, userpage 11 pages > flushing realpage 14, userpage 14 >> bildpage=15 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=15 << >> bildpage=15 eo=o currentreferencerealpage=15 << >> bildpage=16 eo=e currentreferencerealpage=16 << pages > flushing realpage 15, userpage 15 thanks for any help, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.
