\underbar problem
by Alan Bowen 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

In a lengthy document, \underbar occasionally has no effect. From the wiki, I have learned that this can be rectified using \inframed[frame=off]{\underbar{….}}. The problem is that this only works for short text: lengthy text, say a paragraph, gets printed as a single line. Is there a way (a key?) that will allow \underbar to work with \inframed or perhaps another way of getting \underbar to work 100% of the time? Alan

outer floats on doublesided pages
by R. Ermers 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

Dear all, I have problems with the placement of floats. I need them to be placed in the outer edge of the text, but Context puts them in the middle of the page. The outer, inner, outeredge, inneredge, commands do not work. Right and left do work. Preferably the criterium option should also work, e.g. criterium=0.67. A minimal test file is attached. Try it out with a dummy, or with cow picture, or with any other picture of your liking. I updated my context installation today to a bèta version. The version is: 2013.08.30 02.05.

Footnotes italic or normal? And BEFORE for footnotes
by "H. Özoguz" 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Two questions about footnotes: 1. By default the footnote-number (now always speaking of the fn-numbers in the text, not at the buttom) appears in the same style, like the text. E.g.: \starttext {\it This was\footnote{And actually is.} my way of typesetting.} Is\footnote{Another fn.} this not beautiful? \stoptext You see, the first number is italic, the second normal. How can I force ALL fn-numbers to appear in normal style, independent from the textstyle of the text, they were set in? 2. I want to add a \narrownobreakspace before every footnote-number (because of the closing quotation marks, which often overlap with them, especially if they are set italic). One manual way would be this: Any text.\narrownobreakspace\footnote{fn} But how can I do it generally in the style-file? Is there something like a "before" key for the fn-numbers? Best would be, if this \narrownobreakspace would be only set, if an quotation mark comes directly before the fn-number. But I guess that is not easy, so the general solution would be ok, too.

Re: [NTG-context] Automatic space before question mark
by "H. Özoguz" 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Thanks Marco and Wolfgang! Always impressed about the possibilities of ConTeXt and this mailing list. By testing this, naturally another related questions come up. E.g. this one: How to define before ? and ! a 0.1 leftspace, but before the combination ?! only ONE 0.1 leftdistance - and not such a distance before the ! for this case? So I want: "Only ?!", instead of "Only ? !" (here in this mailer shown with normal spaces) Is that possible, too? Or if not, it would be enough to set simply no space infront of the combination. I guess, one has to programm something for this question? Huseyin

installing two ConTeXt trees
by Alan Bowen 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

I would like to install two ConTeXt trees on my laptop, one for work in progress and another for testing, and to run them using TeXShop (if that is feasible). Are there any instructions for this? I have searched the wiki and TeXShop help files but have not seen anything that indicates how to do this. I currently have a system-wide installation of the ConTeXt standalone. Alan

Bibliography, replacing repeated authorname by a dash
by Robert Blackstone 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Dear List, I'm typesetting a PhD thesis. The university has strict and not quite standard specifications for the Bibliography and one of these is that if an author's name is only given with its first entry and must be replaced by a dash in the following entries. Is there anybody on this list who can give me a method worthy of ConTeXt? (I've no experience with Lua myself.) I did find a hack, i.e. replacing in the .bbl-file the author's last name by "\hl[4]" (and omitting his initial) the second time, as shown in the minimal example. But that requires modifying the .bbl-file manually, a task which I'd rather avoid, but will do if necessary. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Automatic space before question mark
by "H. Özoguz" 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

I want to set before all question marks of a large document one "\narrownobreakspace". How to do this, if not in the source? Is there a possibility to exchange all "?" by the effect of "\narrownobreakspace ?" with one small command? (Without changing the source, that is not to search-exchange all "?" with "\narrownobreakspace ?". Thanks.

Setting section margin
by Lance Larsen 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

I would like to adjust the margin for sections, subsections, etc. I came across a suggestion that you can use setuphead with the beforesection and aftersection options to do something like this, but I tried this with MKIV, and beforesection and aftersection appear to have no effect (see the example below). Recent documentation doesn't show these as parameters for setuphead. How do I do this with MKIV? Example: \setuphead[section] [margin=0.5in, beforesection={\startnarrower[left=0.5in]}, aftersection={\stopnarrower}] \setuphead[subsection] [margin=1in, beforesection={\startnarrower[left=1.0in]}, aftersection={\stopnarrrower}] \starttext \chapter{chapter} This is a chapter \section{section} This is a section \section{subsection} This is a subsection \stoptext -Lance Larsen
