head stopper and hang
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplabeltext[subsection=Activity~] \setuphead[subsection][sectionsegments=subsection] \setuplist[subsection][width=fit, stopper={: }] \setuplabeltext[section=Area~] \setuphead[section][hang=broad, stopper={· }] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{5}{\section{Important issue \recurselevel} \dorecurse{5}{\subsection{Important warning \recurselevel}}} \stoptext I don’t know why stopper works in \setuplist, but it doesn’t in \setuphead. What am I missing here? Doesn’t hang in \setuphead do the same as width in \setuplist? Or which would be the option that achieves the same in \setuphead? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

removing layers in empty pages
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Dear list, I come with a different approach to the issue I had yesterday. I have a sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \definelayer[spider][state=start] \setlayer[spider]{\externalfigure[spider][scale=1500]} \definelayer[cow][x=.8\paperwidth, y=.85\paperheight, state=continue] \setlayer[cow]{\externalfigure[cow][scale=600]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={spider, cow}] \blank[force,10em]\dorecurse{8}{\input zapf\par}\page[right]} \stoptext I have an issue that I cannot solve: How can I remove layers from empty pages? I know there is a "state=stop", but I don’t know how to link this to empty pages. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Distance between the header and the title in ConTeXt's enumerations
by Joas Yannick 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Dear everyone, I have defined in ConTeXt an enumeration for definitions: \defineenumeration[definition][theorem][ text={Definition}, prefix=chapter, way=bychapter, right=., titleleft=(, titleright=.), distance=0.5em, headstyle=\ss, title=yes, titlestyle=\ss, alternative=serried, width=broad, indentnext=no] I would like to set the distance between the header, i.e. "Defintion [numberOfTheDefintion]", and the title thereof to 0.5em (just like I set with the distance key the distance between the title and the text of the definition). Thank you, Wondrous (username in tex.stackexchange)

Context to epub: itemize
by Axel Kielhorn 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hi, I'm trying to generate epub from ConTeXt and I couldn't get the itemize environment to work. I follow http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ePub and get the structure described but when I look into the xhtml, there is no itemize environment. (At least no with Safari, Firefox or Calibre.) When use vi I see something that looks like my items in a very complex form. I was expecting something like <ul> <li> </li> <li> </li> </ul> but i see <div class="itemgroup itemize level-1 symbol-1"> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>•</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 1</div> </div> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>•</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 2 <div class="itemgroup itemize level-2 symbol-2"> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>−</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 2.1</div></div> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>−</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 2.2</div></div></div></div> </div> Shouldn't the itemtag definition come from the default.css instead of using MathML? itemgroup[symbol="1"], div.itemgroup.symbol-1 { list-style-type : disc ; } I’m using: mtx-context | current version: 2015.02.03 23:55 and context --script epub --make epub_mwe to create the epub.

Blank space between \subsection & columns (related to: XML processing & columns & (almost) empty pages)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hello, I found a "more minimal" example which produces unwanted blank space between \subsection and columns: ---- % nofruns=1 \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \subsection{T} \startcolumns[n=4,balance=yes] \input knuth \stopcolumns } \stoptext ---- The blank space appears on pg. 2 (subsection #4) - the head is not bound to the following columns. Why is there the blank space? How to avoid it? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

setupcite in mkiv to cite two references
by Yu Zhang 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi list, I need some help about formatting citations in mkiv. What I want is something like [3, 4] if I put \cite[ref3,ref4]. However, what I actually get is [3 and 4]. This only happens if I put two references in \cite[]. So, does anyone know how to replace 'and' with ', ' in my situation. best, Yu

on the t-ruby module
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi Wolfgang, I have just discovered your t-ruby module. Many thanks for this module, which is extremely useful for interlinear translations. Here you have the sample: \usemodule[ruby] \defineruby[trans][textstyle=\it] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \trans{The}{Der} \trans{sentence}{Satz} \trans{is}{ist} \trans{right}{richtig}. \blank[big] \trans{Der}{The} \trans{Satz}{sentence} \trans{ist}{is} \trans{richtig}{right}. \stopTEXpage \stoptext Is there no way that text above doen’t overlap? Sorry, I should be too sleepy, because the hang and overhang options don’t seem to work for me. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

textbackground within framedtext
by Christoph Reller 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi, How can I use textbackground within framedtext. In the following MWE, the background extends beyond the frame of framedtext. Do I have to use a different mechanism? \definetextbackground[bg][ background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow, frame=off] \starttext \startframedtext Before \par \starttextbackground[bg] \input knuth \stoptextbackground \par After \stopframedtext \input tufte \par \starttextbackground[bg] \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \par} \stoptextbackground \input tufte \stoptext Any feedback is welcome, Regards, Christoph

Placing a box with left-aligned lines on the right border
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello, how to more easily achieve this?: ---- Some text on line Text in box Longer text in the box Shorter text in box |<------------------>| Width of the box is that of the longest text in it |<---->| Some space between the preceeding text and the box |<------------------------------------------>| Text width available (\textwidth) ---- The solution should have the following features: - Text in the box to be written "at once" with a token (be "\\" or "\par" or another) to go to the next line; - The box (wrapping "Text in box", "Longer text in the box", "Shorter text in box") should have no width specified - it should get it from the longest member (line) in it (in our case: width of "Longer text in the box"); - Text in the box should be "alignleft"; - Base line of first text the box to be vertically aligned to the base of the preceding text, i.e. "Some text on line" to have the same basement as "Text in box"; - A horizontal filler may be placed between "Some text on line" and the box to fit "text width available". Two ways that don't go to the goal, just to demonstrate my trials and fails: ---- \starttext % 1 Some text on line\hfill Text in box\par \hfill Longer text in the box\par \hfill Shorter text in box\par % 2 Some text on line\hfill\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft,frame=off] {Text in box\\ Longer text in the box\\ Shorter text in box} \stoptext ---- Way 1 - problems: - The text to be boxed is not written in a "box environment"; - the text to be boxed is not left-aligned in the box (as it actually is not in a box). Way 2 - problems: - The text in the box (\framed) must have width specified; - the text in the box "goes over" the line where it is placed, not with first line basement aligned. So - how to achieve the layout desired? (Hint: The situation may be imagined as the top of a letter page: write "some text to the left", fill with the "maximum space" till you reach the "box for an address" on the right of the current line; write address lines left-aligned inside the box.) Thank you for ideas in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
