Intsalling modules - once more
by Werner Hintze 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

If nobody can tell me how to install the module ”fancybreak« on Mac OS (may be the question is too stupid), can anybody tell me where I find the needed information? The wiki doesn't help me because I don’t know $TEXMF. Thanks! WH P.S.: I had no problem to install the module in the stand alone version. The problem is about the »normal« distribution (TexLive).

TEX and XML typing with trailing interline space
by Christoph Reller 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, How do I get rid of the additional line inserted at the end of a TEX or XML environment? Minimal working example: \starttext \setuptyping[TEX][before=,after=] % <- trailing interline space \hrule \startTEX \TeX \stopTEX \hrule \medskip \setuptyping[XML][before=,after=] % <- trailing interline space \hrule \startXML <tag></tag> \stopXML \hrule \medskip \setuptyping[before=,after=] % <- works as expected \hrule \starttyping \TeX \stoptyping \hrule \stoptext Thank you for any advice! Christoph

Selecting character by glyph index
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Dear consortium, Is there a command analogous to \char or \fontchar which allows me to select a glyph by its index in the font? In most font editors you can choose "Index Mode" which shows the "physical" ordering of the glyphs independent of encoding etc. I thought that \charNN (where 'NN' is a decimal integer) did this, but it does not seem to select the correct indexed glyph for a \definefont, making me wonder in MkIV has changed its behavior. For example, choosing \char35 gives me glyph index 223, not glyph 35. In any case, for the current (already tedious) project this is a feature that is sorely needed; if there is a way to hack a quick lua-based command to do it, I would appreciate any help I can get. Perhaps a future version of \fontchar can add this as an option... Thanks in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

The minimal example you gave works here as well, but it does not really concern the problem I had. When you add a section right at the beginning of the chapter, as is the case for nearly all of the chapters of my project, things become different. Here is your ME with sections added: =================================================== \starttext %\startfrontmatter %\input knuth %\stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuphead [chapter] [ number=yes, alternative=middle, style=\tfa \bf, after={\blank[0.5cm]}, ] \chapter{One} \section{One a} \input knuth \setuphead [chapter] [ number=yes, alternative=middle, style=\tfa \bf, after={\blank[0.1cm]}, ] \chapter{Two} \section{Two a} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \stoptext =================================================== Despite different setups for the chapter head the distances: chapter head - section head - beginning of the text, are identical in both chapters (±1 pixel). But I have realized now, a bit late, that for real control over these distances one also needs to setup the section-head in a similar manner, additionally specifying the distance "before". The presence or absence of Frontmatter does not influence results. I think there must have been a setup command somewhere in my setups that I had forgotten about. Kind regards, Robert

More levels of subsubsection?
by Gerben Wierda 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

I am reproducing another document in an appendix. This document has a numbered structure and an appendix. A. My Appendix My appendix text introduction 1. Foo foo text 1.1 Foo foo text 2. Foo Appendix 1. FooBar FooBar text 1.1 FooBar FooBar text 1.1.1 FooBar FooBar text When I use \chapter for My and \subsection and \subsubsection for Foo, how do I solve the FooBar appendix? I have now \chapter My Appendix My appendix text introduction \subsection Foo foo text \subsubsection Foo foo text \subsection Foo Appendix But then, how do I solve: 1. FooBar FooBar text 1.1 FooBar FooBar text 1.1.1 FooBar FooBar text And to matters more complixated, Id like to reproduce the original's indentation, that is 1.1 is a bit more indented than 1 and 1.1.1 is a bit more than 1.1.

Using TABLE in a definition etc.
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Dear gang, I'm trying to setup a definition that uses a natural table and could use some guru help. Here is what I have so far: =============== \def\Glyphbox{% \setupframed[frame=off,align=middle,offfset=none] \framed{\cbox{ \bTABLE[align=middle] \bTR \bTD \gulistan#1 \fontchar{#2} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD #3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE }} } ============== Some issues: 1. '#' is probably active and being used in the internals, so of course I can't directly use it as an argument parameter. How do I work around it? 2. The '#1' at the end of '\gulistan' is meant to complete the name of a defined font, then that same parameter is used as a name in the next row. Am I doing this correctly? I.e., can I use an argument parameter to finish off a command like this? [Yes, my low level TeX is really quite rusty]. 3. Once this table is defined correctly it will be used in a larger table, e.g. ========== \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE ========== with arguments appropriately filled. Thanks in advance for any and all advice, and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

A few days ago I posted this question. There were no reactions, but it is not an urgent matter for me anymore since I found an effective work-around. (Although I still wonder whether or not this possibility exists in mkiv,) I admit having been a bit panicky because a tiny difference in layout between my testversions and the final product, with exactly the same setups, led to a result that more or less forced me to reposition and/or redimension most of my 520 carefully positioned floats, a few days before the deadline. Anyway, sorry for the noise. Best regards, Robert Blackstone
