Non-shortened month name in \date

Hello, ---- \mainlanguage[cz] \starttext \date[d=1,m=3,y=2000][d,~,m,~,y]\par \date[d=1,m=3,y=2000][d,~,mm,~,y]\par \date[d=1,m=3,y=2000][d,~,month,~,y]\par \stoptext ---- gives: " 1 břez. 2000 1 03 2000 1 břez. 2000 " Is there a way to get non-shortened month name, i.e. "března" instead "břez."?

Wiki / sample
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello, the "Sample 2" on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definedescription compiles well on my computer (one of the latest Ctx version) but not on wiki. (It happens to me time to time when I want to add a sample, mostly a snip from the mailing list.) IMHO, there is still a Ctx version mismatch between "latest Ctx Beta" (or another "stable Ctx version") and that on wiki. It would be nice: - to know which Ctx version compiles wiki samples (Ctx, Lua & MP "stamp" - automatically generated on each Ctx renewal - would be useful to appear (on the initial?) wiki page), - I guess wiki Ctx should renew more often (to prevent difference between the latest Ctx and that on wiki enlarges).

slightly offtopic: disabling autoresizing of adobe reader window when opening pdf document
by Csikos Bela 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello: This is kind of offtopic, still I post it here since it only occurs when I open some context manuals. I use Adobe Reader (acroread) 9.5.5 linux version. Frequently, when I open a context related document, eg NaturalTables.pdf downloaded from contextgarden (http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/NaturalTables.pdf) the document triggers resizing of adobe reader main window. This is very annoying, especially if I have several other documents open in separate tabs; all these tabs are resized as well and I have to adjust back the window size manually. I tried different settings in preferences but couldn't find a way to disable this behavior. How could I block autoresizing? I also googled but could not find any answer to this (though others have the same problem as well, eg https://forums.adobe.com/thread/793230) I write here since for me only context documents triggers this, so I guess context users know about this more. Thanks, bcsikos

line break between number and footnote text in paragraph footnotes
by mf 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello, I have a problem with paragraph footnotes. I don't know how to prevent a line break occurring between the footnote number and the footnote text. Sometimes a thing like this happens: ... [main text] ... -------------- 1. text of the first footnote --- 2. text of the second one --- 3. text of the third one Is there a way to force ConTeXt to keep the "3." with "text of the third one"? Thanks in advance, Massi

In fact I tried to set up the background only once, like this: \definelayer[chapterbackground] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \setlayer[chapterbackground]{% \externalfigure[mill.png] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] } \setuphead[chapter] [before={ \setupbackgrounds[page] [background=chapterbackground] }] \starttext \chapter{Knuth} \dorecurse{5}{ \input knuth \par } \chapter{Dawkins} \input dawkins \stoptext But it looks like the layer “forgets” the image each time it is used, and the second chapter does not have the image. I’d be pleased to know the “right way” to do this too ... Robin

[***SPAM***] small space before some characters (: ; ! ?)
by Csikos Bela 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hello: Hungarian typography requires inserting small spaces before :, ;, ! and ? characters. The width of this small space should be equal to that of the period (.). In latex magyarlatex (magyar.ldf) module (part of biblatex) contains definitions to achieve this. How could I set this in context? Thanks in advance, bcsikos

lua code prevents compilation
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters","after","document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \def\CoverImageFile{}%\externalfigure[TypeWriter][width=\textwidth]} \definefontfamily[ornamenta][rm][FontAwesome] \def\CoverImageFont{\scale[width=\textwidth]{\ornamenta }} \def\CoverImage{\doifsomethingelse{\CoverImageFile}{\CoverImageFile}{\CoverImageFont}} \starttext \CoverImage \stoptext For some reason unknown to me, the only way to compile the sample is to remove the luacode snippet. I need the lua code to have underscore hyphenation in type commands. And I need two extra \definehyphenationfeatures and \sethyphenationfeatures to invoke it. Have I hit a bug or what am I missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

overlay or layer for chapter head.
by John Culleton 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

I am redoing a book for a client. Each chapter head has a fancy design. I want to reproduce that fancy page but still have the "\chapter" statement for running heads, TOC etc. Is there a way that I can overlay the entire chapter first page with a graphic, ideally a one page pdf file. I have tried workarounds with \startstandardmakeup,\writetolist, \definemarking etc. but the whole thing is getting too complicated. I just want to overlay a the entire page with a graphic yet have the real content of the page still available for TOC, running head, indexing terms etc. Any suggestions? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
