Placing a page without a blank page after.
by John Culleton 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

I have tried various things like \start/stop/standardmakeup, \start/stop/TEXpage and so on. I am trying to place a full sized page including bleeds without a blank page following. Sometimes It works but mostly it gives me a blank page following.

Request: Numbercommand key for \setupcaption
by Wolfgang Schuster 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

Hi Hans, can you add a number command key to \setupcaption because when you use a language which uses left and right labels for the number the numberstopper key can’t be used anymore to put a symbol after the float counter without misusing the label texts. For example the following example should print LEFT 1 RIGHT: Dummy figure as figure caption but it shows only LEFT 1 RIGHT Dummy figure without the color after “RIGHT”. %%%% begin example \useMPlibrary[dum] \setuplabeltext[en][figure={LEFT , RIGHT}] \definereferenceformat[infigure][label=*] \setupcaption[figure][numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{:}] \starttext \startplacefigure[reference=fig:dummy,title=Dummy figure] \externalfigure[dummy] \stopplacefigure See \infigure[fig:dummy]. \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang

\placefootnotes bug?
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 11 Apr '15

Dear gang, In the attached files, watch the behavior of the second footnote: The footnote numeral and accompanying note are out of alignment. Toggle this line: \setupnotation[footnote] [before={\setupwhitespace[none]},indenting={yes,big},after={\blank[small]}] On, we get a misalignment. Off, no misalignment. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any advice and Best wishes Idris =================== \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][indenting=no,spacebefore=medium,spaceafter=medium] \setupnotation[footnote] [before={\setupwhitespace[none]},indenting={yes,big},after={\blank[small]}] \setupfootnotes[location=text] \starttext \startsection[title=Section 1] \startparagraph \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopfootnote{} \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \stopfootnote{} \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \stopfootnote{} \stopparagraph \stopsection \startsubject[title=Endnotes] \placefootnotes \stopsubject \stoptext =================== -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

tagging heads and empty output
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

Dear gang, Two issues: 1. What is the proper way to tag heads in itemize? I do ========== \startitemize[n] \starthead {Head 1} Test 1 \stophead \starthead {Head 2} Test 2 \stophead \stopitemize ========== but {Head 1} and {Head 2} are not tagged in the output *div.html. Is there a special tagging command for the heads? 2. In a browser, everything within a <div class="itemgroup itemize level-1 symbol-n"> etc is ignored (tried different browers); nothing shows up at all, so nothing to tweak in css. ============== <div class="itemgroup itemize level-1 symbol-n"> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag">1.</div> <div class="itemcontent">Head 1 <div class="break"></div> Test 1</div> </div> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag">2.</div> <div class="itemcontent">Head 2 <div class="break"></div> Test 2</div> </div> </div> ============== Is there something wrong with context's xhtml output? test files attached and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

customizing citations: superscript and move
by Csikos Bela 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hello context users: I would like to insert superscript numbered citations in my document. Based on the wiki page info I modified \setupcite in the style file bibl-num.tex to: \setupcite [num] [\c!andtext={,}, \c!otherstext={,}, \c!pubsep={,}, \c!lastpubsep={,}, \c!compress=\v!yes, \c!inbetween={--}, \c!left={}\raisebox{1ex}\hbox\bgroup\tfxx, \c!right={\egroup}] This results in superscript citations. See the attached example file context-cite-example.pdf. In addition to this I would like to achieve the followings: -- Omitted space between the word and the reference number -- The exchange of the punctuation and the reference number What I'd like to achieve is presented in the exampe file context-cite-wanted-example.pdf (but the numbers even closer to the words, partially above the punctuation marks). (The example file was made in latex/bibtex using natbib and natmove packages.) I guess it's doable by modifying the style file but how? Thanks in advance, bcsikos

\starttyping font changes when option=color
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Folks, Switching the option to “color” in \setuptyping has the effect of resetting the font from typewriter (constant width) to paragraph font (if you uncomment it in the following MWE). I don’t see why that should be. Is it a bug or can someone explain? My intent was to use syntax colourisation for code snippets. Thanks, Robin \setupcolors[state=start] %\setuptyping[typing][option=color] \starttext Normal text \starttyping Typing text \stoptyping \stoptext

caption setup
by Csikos Bela 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hello: I have to setup caption formatting for Hungarian. In Hungarian I have to write "#. figure." instead of "Figure #:" The exact word for "figure" is "ábra", so what I want exactly is: "# ábra.", eg "1. ábra". How can I do it? (If I set the document language to Hungarian, the word "ábra" is shown correctly but the order is not correct; I get ,. ábra:#.) Another question: for caption text I want it to be justified and the last line of the caption centered. How can I do that? Thanks, bcsikos

Turning off French character spacing
by joasyannick＠gmail.com 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Dear everyone, I am writting a French document. I would like to turn off the French character spacing temporarily in order to typeset English document title or URL. For instance, I would like to define the commands \def\englishtitle#1{\turnofffrenchcharacterspacing{\em #1}\turnonfrenchcharacterspacing} \def\url#1{\turnofffrenchcharacterspacing{\em #1}\turnonfrenchcharacterspacing} so that a title link “Example: English Title” will be italicised and will not have a space before “:”; and a URL like “http://www.example.com” neither. Many thanks, Joas
