(Combined)lists, two questions

Dear all, I have a few issues with the Table of Contents and with the List of Figures 1 How can one force a page break after some section. In my present setup I have a Chapter 4, sitting lonely at the bottom of the first page of the ToC, with its sections on the next page. I have tried \completecontent[3.7], as described on p. 53 of "ConTeXt an excursion", but that does not work for me (I'm on mkiv). What can be done about it? 2 My list of figures gives the complete captions, some of which are long. Those exceeding their allotted space break off, which is OK, but there are some that run up against the page number, which is ugly and unclear. What can I do the create a little more space between caption and page number? In general, of most if not all of the 38 possible arguments for \setuplist, as shown on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/, I do not know what they do and how they can be used. Unfortunately, also "ConTeXt an excursion" is very brief on this subject. Is there any place where I can find more information? Thanks in advance for ay advice. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Problem with integral sign

Hello ConTeXist. I googled a long time, but did not come across anything relevant. How can type big integral sign to result looked good? Here is my example: \startformula \int \frac{P_n(x)}{Q_m(x)} \, \mathrm{d}x, \quad n<m \stopformula Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

Project structure

Hello, I want to organize my book as follow: book/ env_book.tex prd_book.tex chapters/ chap_1.tex chap_1/ intro.tex chap_2.tex chap_2/ intro.tex chap_3.tex chap_3/ intro.tex chap_4.tex chap_4/ intro.tex Here is the contents of my texfiles: env_book.tex: \startenvironment env_book \usepath[{chapters}] \stopenvironment prd_book.tex: \environment env_book \startproduct book \startchapter[title=Chapter 1] \component chap_1 \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 2] \component chap_2 \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 3] \component chap_3 \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 4] \component chap_4 \stopchapter \stopproduct chap_1.tex \usepath[{chapters/chap_1}] \startcomponent chap_1 \component intro \stopcomponent chap_2.tex \usepath[{chapters/chap_2}] \startcomponent chap_2 \component intro \stopcomponent and so on. The problem is that only text of first introduction is used. I want to avoid renaming all introduction files to intro_1.tex intro_2.tex etc because they are already differentiated by their folder. Is it possible ? The aim is also to have folders for sections and images for each chapter. I attached the project structure. Thank you,

Additionally, I'd like to keep that divider with the previous content (paragraph). In this case AFAIK \testpage[n] cannot be used directly in the divider definition as it breaks the page at position of this command. I'd like to express rather: If there is no space for three lines, break the page, but grab few previous lines (at least 2) together with me (according to orphan/widow settings). The current behaviour can be demonstrated using this example: \startsetups[grid][mypenalties] \setdefaultpenalties \setpenalties\widowpenalties{2}{10000} \setpenalties\clubpenalties {2}{10000} \stopsetups \setuplayout[grid=yes, setups=mypenalties] \showgrid \showlayoutcomponents \starttext \blank[force, 30*line] \input{tufte} \blank[4mm]\middlealigned{\hl[4]}\blank[6mm] \stoptext In my case the divider is used also to emphasise Chapter ends - so it is very often the last element one the page and there is no need to check also the space which follows (whether next lines will fit or not). So 'keep-with-previous' is enough for me. Jan

When you want a fixed width for \CombinationBox you have to change the definition to \defineframed[CombinationBox][frame=off,offset=none,width=11cm] Wolfgang

Divider in grid environment
by Jan Tosovsky 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Dear All, I'd like to use a divider between certain paragraphs. As I want to keep all the lines on the grid so it should have a height = N x line height. As \hl renders the line on baseline, I have to tweek the space before/after using the 'blank' command to keep the horizontal line in the +/- middle: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \showlayoutcomponents \starttext \input{ward} \blank[4mm]\middlealigned{\hl[4]}\blank[6mm] \input{ward} \stoptext But this solution requires adjustments for different fonts or font sizes... Is there a more efficient way how to accomplish this? Thanks, Jan

It works, but that empty space above looks weird You have to force a certain width for your images because the width of the text space depends on the width of the images. You can use \framed (instead of loffset/roffset you can also set a fixed width) or \simplealignedbox to set the width of the images. \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \defineframed[CombinationBox][frame=off,offset=none,loffset=3cm,roffset=3cm] \starttext \startplacefigure[location={force,none}] \startcombination[nx=1,ny=2,align={last,hz,hanging},style=\itx] % first image \startcontent %\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stopcontent \startcaption \input{ward} \stopcaption % second image \startcontent %\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stopcontent \startcaption \input{ward} \stopcaption \stopcombination \stopplacefigure \stoptext Wolfgang
