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.

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

\pm set too low in MkIV?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 May '14

07 May '14

Continuing my recent theme of finding glyphs too low or too high: The \pm symbol looks like it is set too low, in MkIV. \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext $\pm2$ \stoptext The minus part of the sign lies below the baseline, which looks odd relative to the horizontal stroke of the "2." In MkII it is fine, as is the equivalent latex or plain tex (using LatinModern). I don't know whether the problem lis in the font metrics or in the positioning by MkIV, because I haven't yet been able to convince tex, latex, lualatex, or luatex to use the same font (LM math). In MkIV, the font is (from pdffonts): NSOXNN+LatinModernMath-Regular CID Type 0C Identity-H Can anyone confirm the problem? -Sanjoy
