\setuplist ignores width=<dim> in combination with headnumber=no
by Mojca Miklavec 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi, I would like to remove header numbers for subsections, but keep subsections properly aligned in the table of contents. However, the width= parameter seems to be completely ignored in that case. Here's a nearly-minimal example: \setuplist[section][width=10mm,style=bold] \setuplist[subsection][width=15mm,headnumber=no] \setuplist[subsubsection][width=20mm,style=slanted,pagestyle=normal] \starttext \completecontent \page[yes] \section{First section} \subsection{First subsection} \subsubsection{First subsubsection} \subsubsubsection{First subsubsubsection} \section{Second section} \subsection{Second subsection} \subsubsection{Second subsubsection} \subsubsubsection{Second subsubsubsection} \stoptext The example has been adapted from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents. The image on the wiki seems ok, but I get a different result if I try to run the same example with the latest version of ConTeXt (mkiv). Somewhat related: say that I wanted to setup \setuplist[<name>][width=10mm] for all the sections and sub(subsub)sections. The documentation seems to suggest that \placecontent[aligntitle=yes/no,width=10mm] should do that (it's not clear to me whether that's yes or no that should do it), but it doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

Simple command with variable number of arguments
by Matthias Weber 23 May '14

23 May '14

Dear All, I would like to define a command that expands \vector{2,4} % or vector[2,4] if that’s easier to \startpmatrix \NC 2 \NR \NC 4 \NR \stoppmatrix and more generally \vector{2,4,1,7} to \startpmatrix \NC 2 \NR \NC 4 \NR \NC 1 \NR \NC 7 \NR \stoppmatrix Any hints how to achieve this? Thanks, Matthias

Italic small capitals with Latin Modern font
by Maggyero 23 May '14

23 May '14

How can I use Latin Modern italic small capitals? I have seen on a previous thread that small caps are separated in an other file for Latin Modern font and that one should load it to use them in italic, but there was no example given to achieve that. Minimal example: \starttext \it \sc \input knuth \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] \startbackground with footnote

It has some bug against footnotes. I attach an example. Sorry, it's not a minimal example, but I can't reproduce it with minimal. I think the important think is the page break because the table two does not fit in the page. I get one empty page here. I attach the .tex and the pdf. Thanks in advance, Xan.

No, it probably won't work. You really need LaTeX to run texinfo. > I'm trying to avoid installing a full TeXLive distribution on this old limited memory machine. You don't have to install full TeX Live. Just install the basic scheme (plain TeX) + "latexrecommended" collection. On one of my machines that fits into 110 MB, but you could probably be even more picky and install even less packages (or remove them later after installation). Just start with tlpretest 2014, else your installation will become obsolete before you know. Mojca

Setting the style and conversion of the reference numbers for the \in command
by Maggyero 22 May '14

22 May '14

Thank you Wolfgang, your hack is perfect. Hans, what do you think about adding a style and color key in \setupreferencestructureprefix to avoid having to use this defineprocessor hack? And by the way, the name \setupreferencestructureprefix does not sound really natural to me because we are talking about a reference NUMBER and there is not always a prefix. What about changing it to something like \setupreference or \setupreferencenumber (like \setuppagenumber)?

Setting the style and conversion of the reference numbers for the \in command
by Maggyero 22 May '14

22 May '14

I have found how to get the conversion of numbers in references (the 'prefixconversion' key in '\setupreferencestructureprefix' command), but I still do not know how to change their style. I have tried the 'style' key and 'prefixstyle' key but without success. After checking in ConTeXt source, I have realised that there is no such 'style' key for the '\setupreferencestructureprefix' command. Is there another command to change the style? If not, it would be great if Hans could add that feature. Minimal example: \setupreferencestructureprefix[section][default][% prefixconversion=Romannumerals, prefixstyle=\bf] \starttext \input knuth (Cf. \in{section}[mysection].) \section[mysection]{My section} \stoptext

pdf X/1-a:2001 format for print output.
by john Culleton 22 May '14

22 May '14

The above format is required for pdf files containing color for many American printers. I am looking for the minimal case. In the wiki there is an example: \setupbackend [format=PDF/X-1a:2001, intent=SWOP2006_Coated3v2.icc] Is this sufficient? Or must I also use this code: \setupinteraction [title=TITLE, subtitle=SUBTITLE, author=AUTHOR, keyword={{KEYWORD1, KEYWORD2}, KEYWORD3}] I don't see the relationship of this last example to non-interactive pdf X/1-a:2001 output for print. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
