Lower the title of TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 02 May '14

Hi, how to lower the TOC-title, s.t. it begins with a greater distance to the top? Here a min-examlpe. \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Blub1} \chapter{Blub2} \stoptext I mean something like: \starttext \strut\blank[2cm] \completecontent \chapter{Blub1} \chapter{Blub2} \stoptext But of course that produce only an empty page before the TOC and can not work. How to achieve this correctly? Huseyin

too many open files?
by Andrea Valle 01 May '14

01 May '14

Dear, I’m compiling the new version of my manual on the SuperCollider language, using a project structure, and I’m including a lot of pdfs, as I’m automatically generating figures containing colorised code that have to included in the book. Btw I’m quite happy of the results! Thanks to devs for your work. Anyway, I’m stuck at this. I’m getting this error, seems related to the number of included pdfs </paperiProgetti/SC/introSC/code/controlli/map.pdfI/O Error: Couldn't open file '/paperiProgetti/SC/introSC/code/controlli/map.pdf': Too many open files. !LuaTeX error: xpdf: reading PDF image failed ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! What can I do?

Empty heads after leading whitespace
by Maggyero 01 May '14

01 May '14

> before=\empty, \empty is not even required. The problem with your solution (setting 'before=' i.e. empty) is that there is also no whitespace before a subsection which doesn't start on a new page. Any better ideas?

resize and center and clip image
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hi! Assume that I want to fill in the text area with images, and I want to clip and scale them according to these rules: 1) If the image is "too wide" (in sense of proportions), then scale it so that the height fits the text area height, center it, and clip it to the text area. (See the attached image, on top, where the blue area is supposed to show the text area and the red rectangle the image.) 2) If the image is "too high" (in sense of proportions), then scale it so that the width fits the text area width, center it, and clip it to the text area. (See the attached image, on bottom.) The background why I want to do this is that I'm making a small template for presentations, and I'd like the users to insert images as background without really having to think about if their proportions fit or not. Best regards, Mikael

automatically adding commands to some characters
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 May '14

01 May '14

Dear list, with slashes and en-dashes I experience the following in ConTeXt: sometimes I need to add an \hskip0pt command after them to allow linebreaks. One example would be "Council Directive 93/98/EEC". The issue comes when using ConTeXt as target format from markdown sources. pandoc generates the file, but it makes no sense to edit the ConTeXt source. Is there any command that allows the addition of arbitrary commands when a character appears in text? I mean, a way that internally replaces "Council Directive 93/98/EEC" with "Council Directive 93/\hskip0pt 98/\hskip0pt EEC" Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Empty heads after leading whitespace
by Maggyero 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hello, Here after is my problem: \setuphead[section][% placehead=empty, before=, after=] \setuphead[subsection][% placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \setupheadertexts[section] \starttext \showframe \section{My section} \subsection{My subsection (whitespace before: )} % Here is my problem. \page \subsection{My subsection (NO whitespace before)} \stoptext The mechanism that automatically removes the leading whitespace at the top of a page doesn't work if there is an EMPTY head followed by another head (of a different level). How can I remove that whitespace? Best regards.

Position of integral limits
by Darksair 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, I notice today that in display math, \int_a^b places a and b completely below and above the integral symbol, rather than offsets them to the right at the bottom and top as LaTeX does by default. I also notice that I can use \int\nolimits to achieve the LaTeX result. Is this the supposed behavior of ConTeXt? Because I remember this was not the case 2 years ago. Also can I somehow let ConTeXt use that \nolimits by default? Thanks. -- Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, Anger leads to hate, Hate leads to suffering

A new question on \definefallbackfamily
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, With the file below (and the latest Standalone) I get different output different times I compile. Sometimes the fourth 3 is bold and sometimes it is not (I don't want it to be bold). What is going on? I attach also the log files from a successful run (test.log) and a failure (test-error.log). Also, the pdf files are attached. (what I want is to use the light font as default and the regular one as bold...)

Force two figures to appear on the same page
by Thomas Möbius 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Dear ConTeXt list, I have multiple figures appearing in a single chapter which are roughly half a page in height. They would fit on top of each other. It seems as if context is only putting floats on top of each other if at least 2 lines of text fit underneath them. How to force two figures which fit on one page to also appear on one page? As you can see in the example below, the chapter would otherwise end with a lengthy list of figures. I'd prefer, if the chapter ends with text. If I'd use `force`, text would stop wrapping around the floats. The cow.png file is a copy of the graphic appearing on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure ---minimal example-- \starttext \chapter{Aasntheo asoetnh} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \placefigure [here] [fig:experiment:h:box:sd] {Hey} {\externalfigure[cow.png][height=.45\textheight,frame=on]} \placefigure [here] [fig:experiment:h:box:sd] {Ho} {\externalfigure[cow.png][height=.45\textheight,frame=on]} \placefigure [here] [fig:experiment:h:box:sd] {Ho} {\externalfigure[cow.png][height=.45\textheight,frame=on]} \placefigure [here] [fig:experiment:h:box:sd] {Ho} {\externalfigure[cow.png][height=.45\textheight,frame=on]} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stoptext
