left bracket in string.format()
by Peter Rolf 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hi, Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour. I want to fill a TABLE row with "[<number>]", but the leading left bracket causes some problems here. I tried the syntax 'print(string.format("[%d]",10)' in pure lua and the result is as desired. %% -------------- \starttext \startluacode context.bTABLE{} context.bTR() for i = 1,8 do context.bTH() context(string.format("[%d]",i)) context.eTH() end context.eTR() context.eTABLE() \stopluacode \stoptext %% -------------- gives [..] fonts > 'fallback modern rm 12pt' is loaded setup > error in line 6, namespace '354>', key '1' setup > error in line 9, namespace '354>', key '2' setup > error in line 12, namespace '354>', key '3' setup > error in line 15, namespace '354>', key '4' setup > error in line 18, namespace '354>', key '5' setup > error in line 21, namespace '354>', key '6' setup > error in line 24, namespace '354>', key '7' setup > error in line 27, namespace '354>', key '8' [..] and empty TABLE cells. Any help welcome. Peter

[***SPAM***] Indentation for page-numbers
by "H. Özoguz" 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hello, how to modify \setuppagenumbering to get indented page-numers? I use: \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location={footer,right}, way=bytext, sectionnumber=yes, partnumber=yes] Is there a key "indent" or something to get the pagenumbers a small bit indented (direction: middle of the page). Thanks! Huseyin

Indent titles
by Eslamica 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

Hi here, 3rd question today :): How to indent titles? Should be easy, but could not find it in the wiki. I use: \setuphead [chapter] [style=ChapterFont, header=empty, number=no, page={yes,header,footer,right}, before={{\strut\blank[line]}}, after={\strut\blank[line]}, ] Is there a "indent"-key or something to indent the chapter-title? (Nothing to find about it in the "indentation"-article in the wiki) Thanks! Huseyin -- *Hüseyin Özoguz ** Verlag Eslamica -- www.eslamica.de <http://www.eslamica.de>** **m-haditec * GmbH &Co.

Hi there, in the attachment you see an example of a toc (of some german bestseller) I want to reproduce in ConText. The only problem left, I could not achieve myself, is: How to set the chapter-titles in the toc without pagenumbers (as you see in the attached jpg)? Thanks for your help one again! Best Regards Huseyin

ConTeXt Guru for Project
by Thangalin 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

Hi, folks. I'm looking for help migrating from LaTeX to ConTeXt. The following TeX.SE question shows the LaTeX architecture I've put together: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/127795/leveraging-a-dynamic-preamble… I'm moving away from LaTeX to ConTeXt to decrease system complexity, speed up generating PDF documents, provide the ability to create beautiful EPUB documents from the same auto-generated ConTeXt source file, leverage MetaPost, plus all the other benefits that ConTeXt offers. The project has some interesting design and layout challenges due to the book content's dynamic nature. (For example, there are thematic concepts applied across many different designs having optional content and stylistic variations on the same data sets.) If this intrigues you, send me a note and we can discuss the details (such as availability, rates, requirements, technologies, project direction, and so forth). Thank you!

Problem with horizontal space in List of Figures
by Robert Blackstone 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

Dear list, Using Hans' nice method to place in a document several figures with the same number, separated by text or on different pages, I run into difficulties with the List of Figures. Apparently ConTeXt does not make enough space to accommodate the figure numbers and the groupsuffix, as the example shows. (Sorry for the large number of figures but I needed a double digit number of them to show the problem. None of the other elements, titles, captions etc. has any significance for this problem.) In this problem the chosen font, Verdana, seems to be an essential factor. With many sans fonts there is no problem, for example not with Iwona, Arila, Helvetica, Calibri. Optima, Trebuchet MS. But others, for example Lucida Sans and Sathu give the same problem as Verdana. Unfortunately I have to use Verdana for my project. What can I do to create a little more space for the first column of the List of Figures? Thanks in advance for any advice. Best regards, Robert Blackstone ME: ------------------------------ \useMPlibrary[dum] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Verdana] \setupbodyfont[9pt] \starttext \completecontent \completelistoffigures[label=yes,alternative=c] \startchapter[title={Introduction}] \input knuth \startsection[title={This is a section}] \input ward \stopsection \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title={A1},group=,groupsuffix=.a] {\externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm]} \stopplacefigure Some text. \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title={A2},group=,groupsuffix=.b] {\externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm]} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=first,title=three] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=third,title=four] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=second,title=B1,group=alpha,groupsuffix=.a] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure Some text. \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fourth,title=B2,group=alpha,groupsuffix=.b] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title={This first example 6 has an already very long title and the following one will be even longer.},group=Zero,groupsuffix=.a] {\externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm]} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title={This second example 6 has a very substantially longer long title and the following ones could not possibly be longer.},group=Zero,groupsuffix=.b] {\externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm]} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=third,title=seven] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=first,title=eight] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=second,title=C1,group=beta,groupsuffix=.a] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure Some text. \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fourth,title=C2,group=beta,groupsuffix=.b] \externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title=D1,group=gamma,groupsuffix=.a] {\externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm]} \stopplacefigure Some text. \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=,title=D2,group=gamma,groupsuffix=.b] {\externalfigure[dummy][height=2cm]} \stopplacefigure \stopchapter \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------

MetaPost label direction prefix
by Marco Patzer 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

Hi, what is the reason the label direction prefix variables (rt, bot, llft, etc.) are prefixed with mpfun_ in MkIV (mp-mlib.mpiv)? When new directional prefixes are being defined it fails when mplib is used unless the mpfun_ prefix is added. And likewise, code using the mpfun_ prefix fails on traditional MetaPost. Is this prefix required? It breaks old code and required a branch in every new project. And I don't really see a reason for this incompatibility. Here is an example defining a new direction “foo”: \starttext \startMPcode label("first", origin); %% MkIV %% pair mfun_laboff.foo ; mfun_laboff.foo := (.5,-1) ; %% mfun_labxf.foo := mfun_labyf.foo := 1 ; %% MkII pair laboff.foo ; laboff.foo := (.5,-1) ; labxf.foo := labyf.foo := 1 ; label.foo("second", origin); \stopMPcode \stoptext Marco
