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.

Numbered page template
by Fabrice Couvreur 30 Jul '15

In this manual, I like the numbered pages indicating each chapter. I suppose they are made with Metafun. Is it possible to have an explanation ? Thank You, Fabrice http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/cont-enp.pdf

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)

Printing bibliographic entries without the full publication list
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Dear Hans & Alan, I would like to manually print the selected list of publications, like this: \usebtxdataset[items.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \starttext \startitemize \item \cite[entry][bib1] \item some random text \item \cite[entry][bib5] \stopitemize \stoptext The problem is that this doesn't print anything unless I add \placelistofpublications somewhere. While I do understand (to some extent at least) the rationale for not printing the number of bib item when \placelistofpublications is missing, I don't see any reason why I should be unable to print the complete publication that doesn't even require printing out any number. Any hints about how to do a workaround? I could do \nocite[bib1] \nocite[bib5] \placelistofpublications but then I'm unable to do manual tweaking of the list and adding free text. Thank you very much, Mojca

links for notes
by Pablo Rodriguez 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hans, many thanks for having fixed the issues with bookmarks in latest beta from 2015.07.28 15:15. I have a pending issue with interactive documents. We discussed here some months ago (). The issue is that notes (footnotes and linenotes) have the same kind of interactive links as the rest of the links in the PDF document. Here is the minial sample: \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{10}{\chapter{Chapter 1} a\footnote{b}} \stoptext Could this be implemented? Otherwise, interactive notes will be problematic for the rest of us. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi Mojca, Despite being neither Hans nor Alan I could perhaps offer you the possibility of a simple workaround, I think you could do what you need in the same way as when you put bibliographic references in a footnote. So in your case it would be: \startitemize \item \dcite{citekey1} item some random text \item \dcite{citekey2} \stopitemize In any case this works for me but my bibliographic setup may be different from yours. I hope it helps, Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Input order of modular environment files
by juh 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi all, inspired by [1] I want to setup modular environment files and include them on demand with the option --environment. I think that I will have separate files for general settings, for fonts and for different papersizes, so that I can typeset with different settings on-the-fly. Is there an order in which definitions must be made, for eg. fonts first, pagelayouts second etc...? Do you have any recommendations how I should structure the environments? I am going to compile XML files, so I will also have an environment file which defines the XML-TeX mapping.
