nested itemize
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 01 Dec '14

The following code (using latest minimals) \starttext \startitemize[n] \item FOO \startitemize[a] \item Hello \item Good bye \stopitemize \stopitemize \startitemize[n] \item \startitemize[a] \item Hello \item Good bye \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext gives the attached pdf file, i.e. the second nested list is cut. Has something changed (I've been able to use nested lists before without having to use FOO or something inbetwen (as in the first example)? I tried to reinstall, but the same problem appeared again. Best regards, Mikael

Am I > reading the manual wrong, or is is just not implemented yet or something? > (honest question) Hi Mark, What I would probably do (again) is: 1 leave out the float dimension from the setup and use something like \definefloat[figure][figures] \setupfloat[figure][location=,spacebefore=,spaceafter=,sidespacebefore=,sidespaceafter=] or whatever you want in this respect 2 collect in a separate .tex-file, to be input in your document .tex-file, all figure-data in the form \useexternalfigure[Fig1][YourFigure1.png][width=.x\textwidth]% etc If you want a different uniform figure width you can then easily replace ijn this file all width=.x\textwidth by width=.y\textwidth. 3 In your document .tex-file use \placefigure[here][Fig1]{Title} {\externalfigure[Fig1]} This will probably give you optimal flexibility. I hope it helps. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

How does \setupfloat work?
by Mark Szepieniec 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

I'm trying to set a default width for figures with \setupfloat. However, the command doesn't seem to be picking up the width specification, even though the manual indicates it accepts a width= argument: \setupfloat[figure][width=2cm] \starttext \placefigure{}{\externalfigure[picture.png]} \stoptext picture.png just gets inserted at its native size, rather than scaled to have the specified width. What am I doing wrong? (setting minwidth and/or maxwidth doesn't seem to work either) Thanks in advance for any assistance. Mark

Space around a figure in a table

drops: arbitrary path examples
by Peter Rolf 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi, just two example documents I made while testing arbitrary paths with the 'drops' module. I plan to release the module soon, so this is not more than an appetizer. The code is still messy and unfinished, but I probably don't have the time to change that. Creating the examples took away all my free time. Take it as it is or just wait two more years.. Now, before I write down the download link some ** SERIOUS WARNING!!! I MEAN SERIOUS!!! SOMEWHAT SERIOUS!!! ** Both documents use a considerable number of graphics and can significantly slow down or even freeze your hardware. Open the examples at your own risk (especially with products from Adobe)! [whew, just lost 87% of the viewers here] A 2-3 years old PC should be able to handle the examples in acceptable time (judging from my hardware). But not only hardware power is needed, the software can be crucial too. Viewers tested so far (rating in front), all on Windows 7. [++] SumatraPDF: no problems, lightning speed and very good viewing quality (love it!) [+] PDFExchangeViewer: no problems, good speed (you can still watch how the graphics are stacked) and viewing quality (color management if off though) [--] Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: 'out of memory' error after three pages (puddle), very slow speed, probably best viewing quality A real shame that the only viewer with problems is from the inventor of PDF. The 'pile' example from 2012 even crashed the viewer (v10), so this is still an improvement. Just let me know if there are any general problems. I will file a bug report then. Finally, the download link (you have been warned) :-D https://spideroak.com/browse/share/indiego/public/ConTeXt/drops/ Some technical info about the examples: [sigh, lost all my viewers right here] leafs: 150 leafs (six different colored bitmaps), resolution = 300ppi based on this graphic (thanks for sharing) http://openclipart.org/detail/10517/leaf-by-yves_guillou-10517 puddle: 200 MP graphics, resolution = 600ppi Only one shadow graphic is created for the main object (which is also reused then). Variation comes from scaling/rotation. The big 'drops' text in Copperplate is a MP graphic, but in theory it should be possible to add shadows to glyph paths. We will see. To ensure the readability of the few other text elements, both documents use the drops module to lighten the underlying background. A simple 'boxshadow' with a bright shadowcolor and a proper radius (maybe plus some offset) is all you need for that. This is a feature that I always wanted, way better than editing/creating the background areas by hand (correct position/size? a lot of try and error, a real pita). All done on the fly now, which is nice (me lazy). [OK.. all said, stopping now; so much text for a stupid link] Have fun, Peter

No number on first page
by Richard Sherman 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi all, I have seen this question asked several times and not answered in a way that has worked for me. To suppress a page number on the first page, in LaTeX I would use \thispagestyle{empty} but I cannot find how to accomplish the same thing in ConTeXt. I have seen the suggestions \setupheader[1][header=0mm] which is not what is intended, and also does not result in page numbers on pages 2, 3, ..., and \noheaderandfooterlines which is also not successful, and doesn't seem like it should be, and \definelayout[1][header=0mm] \definelayout[2][reset] which doesn't work either. I'd like to 1. Have the header appear on each page and 2. Have no page number on the first page and 3, Have page numbers beginning on the second page which seems like it should have a simple solution, but after a couple of days of searching here and in the manuals I haven't been able to find it. A solution that puts a \page in somewhere fails, since I don't know when the second page will begin. Thanks much in advance, -Richard

keep on grid
by Emil Stein 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hi, The following example doesn't get the text after tufte citation back on grid. Using linecorrection helps ... but doesn't break across pages. What is the right way to stay on grid, even when using insertion (citation)? Kind Regards, Emil ==== \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid %\definestartstop[citaat] %[before={\startlinecorrection\vskip3pt\setupnarrower[left=5mm,right=0pt]\startnarrower[left,right]\switchtobodyfont[8pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt]}, %after={\stopnarrower\vskip3pt\stoplinecorrection}] \definestartstop[citaat] [before={\vskip3pt\setupnarrower[left=5mm,right=0pt]\startnarrower[left,right]\switchtobodyfont[8pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt]}, after={\stopnarrower\vskip3pt}] \starttext \dorecurse{3} {\input tufte\par} \input knuth\par \startcitaat \dorecurse{3} {\input tufte\par} \stopcitaat text% <- how to snap to grid again?? \stoptext

Is there an overview of getting mathematical symbols in ConTeXt?

I am looking for instructions to write Aleph, pi and so forth. I assume I need special font instructions outside of plain TeX. Correct? G
