8th ConTeXt Meeting, Bassenge-Boirs, Belgium
by Taco Hoekwater 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hello to everybody! We are glad to announce the registration for the 8th International Context Meeting is now open. http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014 Early-bird registration is available until June 30, 2014, and this year for the first time, we also have a special discount for first-time attendees. We are making a return visit to Jan @ 't Sjetootje, the same place where we had our fifth meeting in 2011. Those of you that were present will remember that our host Jan was constantly busy cooking wonderful food for us. To celebrate our return visit, the theme for this year's meeting is: ConTeXt Cookery which means that we are planning for talks and tutorials on both culinary and programming recipes and / or cookbooks. Jan has already promised to take care of a hands-on culinary workshop :) Further, we can promise a working internet connection, and also that there will not be any completely underground full day excursions. As it happens, Bassenge-Boirs is also the birth place of the official ConTeXt Group, so in a way we are going back to our "roots". Even if you cannot join us for the meeting, please consider becoming a member (if you are not already). The meeting proceedings are going to be published as the next issue of the Context Group journal, but there are more advantages to membership. See http://group.contextgarden.net/ for more information about the ConTeXt Group. We are looking forward to meeting you in Bassenge, Best regards, Taco Hoekwater on behalf of the organizing committee http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014

setuppage is ignored

Dear list, it seems as if \setupnumber is ignored or I am using the wrong way to reset the page numbering. How to start the page numbering at 1 in the bodymatter? ---minimal exampe--- \setuppapersize[A5] \setuppagenumbering[start=start,alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheader[style=small] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[sectionnumber]~\getmarking[section]}] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [{\getmarking[chapternumber]~\getmarking[chapter]}] \setuphead[chapter][page={yes,right},header=empty,textstyle=\tfc] \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead [intro] [number=no] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] \setuplist [intro] [headnumber=no] \starttext \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals,state=start,number=1] %\setupnumber[page][1] \completecontent \intro{No number} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuppagenumber[numberconversion=numbers,state=start,number=1] %\setupnumber[page][1] \chapter{Has number} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \chapter{Has number} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \chapter{Has number} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stopbodymatter \stoptext

Continuous Item Numbering throughout an Entire Document
by Dr Malte Stien 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi all, I have a rather long document listing a number of items, which I need to be numbered continuously throughout the entire document. The following approach appears to work well, except that the numbering restarts at the beginning of every chapter. Is there a way that can be avoided? \startitemize[n] \item bar \item faz \stopitemize[n] \startitemize[n, continue] \item foo \item bla \stopitemize[n] Thank you, Malte.

\placeinitial query
by Alan Bowen 07 May '14

07 May '14

In the following: \definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][IFAO Grec Unicode] [range={02BB-1D513}] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Tex Gyre Termes][] \setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt] \defineinitial[Greek] [location=margin, font={Regular sa 3}, n=2, distance=-1em, hoffset=1.25em] \starttext \placeinitial[Greek]Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου \blank \placeinitial[Greek]Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου \stoptext the first \placeinitial works but the second does not. I can get both if I make IFAO Grec the main font and Termes the fallback. But then I will lose italics and so forth. Are there some keys or values that I have missed? Alan

Text background that spans the width of the page
by Darksair 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi all, I would like to have a colored horizontal stripe as background for one line of text. Sort of like what textbackground does, but I want it to span the whole \paperwidth, instead of just \textwidth. At the end of the day, I would use it to style for example my section heads, or to highlight one specific \item. What’s the best way to do it? -- Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, Anger leads to hate, Hate leads to suffering

Vertical alignment of \placefigure[right]
by Mojca Miklavec 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi, I would like to vertically shift the placement of figures (\placefigure[right]...), so that the upper side of the figure would be aligned with the top of the first line in a paragraph as opposed to the bottom of the first paragraph. Here's a minimal example. The second "ugly workaround" shows what I'm trying to achieve, but ideally using a cleaner approach. Does there exist a magic keyword for that? \starttext \hrule \placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}} \input knuth % ugly workaround \hrule \vskip-11pt \placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}} \vskip11pt \input knuth \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

How to place a verbatim environment in the text such that the following paragraph is not indented?
by Thomas Möbius 07 May '14

07 May '14

Dear list, how do I place a verbatim environment in the text such that the following paragraph is not indented? I expect the environment to behave the same as the formula-environment. How can I achieve this? --- minimal example --- \starttext \setupindenting[1.3em] \setupindenting[yes] \definetyping [R] [options=R, style={\ss}, before={\startframedtext [width=.975\makeupwidth, frame=off, bottomframe=on, topframe=on, background=screen, backgroundscreen=.95]}, after={\stopframedtext}, bodyfont=9pt, margin=1.3em] \input ward You can use the following syntax \startR f <- function(x) x^2 \stopR to define a function. (Begging of line should not be indented.) \input ward Have a look at \startformula f(x) = x^2 \stopformula where $f$ is a function. (No indent as expected.) \input ward \stoptext
