relative references?
by Steffen Kram 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

Hello, is it possible to reference parts of a document in a "relative" style? My structure is as follows: \startproduct … \startbodymatter \component chapterFoo/main \component chapterBar/main \stopbodymatter … \stopproduct Each of my chapters uses \chapter, \section … \subsubsubsection markers. I would like to use references for each of them. Is it possible to reference for example the subsection "Foo AA" from the chapter start with an relative reference such as \chapter[sec:foo]{Foo} \in[fooA:fooAA] \section[fooA]{Foo A} \subsection[fooAA]{Foo AA} but when referencing it from the second chapter use a absolute reference: \chapter[sec:bar]{Bar} \in[sec:foo:fooA:fooAA] … Is this possible? Or must I use absolute references and identifiers everywhere? Cheers, Steffen

suggestion: setups for \startitem
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Hi, this is just a small suggestion for the interface: since a while, we've had \startitem \stopitem. Would it be possible / feasible / interesting to add a bit of configuration to it? I tried looking at the source. but couldn't find anything. This minimal example explains what I mean: \starttext \startitemize \item One \item Two \sym{$\Rightarrow$} Three \stopitemize \startitemize \startitem One \stopitem \startitem Two \stopitem \startitem[sym=$\Rightarrow$] Three \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext How to achieve the result of #1 with the syntax in #2? Thanks and best wishes Thomas

Here is a minimal example of my attempt to get a footnot(s) just below a table. As it is the footnote is dislayed to the right of the table. Minimal example: %--------------------------- \starttext \midaligned { \startlocalfootnotes % [conversion=set fnsym] \setupnotation[footnote][rule=off] % change footnote symbols \starttable[|c|c|c|c|] \HL \VL col-1 \VL col-2 $\dagger$\footnote[myfootnote]{Re: X} \VL col-3 \VL col-4 \VL \MR \HL \stoptable % \placelocalfootnotes[here] \placelocalfootnotes[here] \stoplocalfootnotes \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=n,rule=on] % restore footnotes to global } \stoptext %----------------------------------

Placing figures with text wrap causes page break
by Philip 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

I've searched through the ContextGarden documentation and tried Googling this issue, but I must not be hitting the right keywords. Sorry if this has already been answered. When I place a figure with the following code, the document leaves two-thirds of the page before blank and puts the graphic on the following page. I have other figures in the document and this issue happens repeatedly throughout. Below is my abbreviated ConTeXt. I've tried adding \dontleavehmode like this, but it results in the graphic moving to the left and being overwritten by the text. \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\dontleavehmode\externalfigure [another_graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} I've also tried adding \dontleavehmode like this, but it has no effect: \dontleavehmode \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} How can I get the "Some more text" to move up to fill the empty page? Thank you for any help you can provide! \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[ topspace=0.5in, backspace=1in, header=24pt, footer=36pt, height=middle, width=middle] \setupwhitespace[big] \setupalign [right, nothyphenated] \setupcaptions{style=\tfx\ss] \define\bold{\dontleavehmode\groupedcommand\bf\donothing} \starttext \title{title text} Some text here. \bold{subheader} \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} More text \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [another_graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} Even more text \stoptext

[***SPAM***] Headers on Empty Page at End of Chapter
by Malte Stien 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hello, When you setup your chapters such that a chapter always starts on a right page, you naturally get the occasional empty left page just before that. I have my headers setup like this \setupheadertexts[chapter][section] I get the chapter and section name of the previous section printed in the header of that empty page, but I want that page just empty. Is there a way? Regards, Malte. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

--purgebufffers option?
by Pablo Rodríguez 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Dear Hans, I compile ConTeXt documents with --purgeall, but if I save buffers into files and typeset those files or I typeset buffers directly, these files aren’t purged after successful compilation. Would it be possible to enable an option (such as --purgebuffers) that removes all buffer files generated by that compilation? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Having text overflow an image
by Sander Maijers 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

I have a few large plots that each should take up an entire landscape A3 paper sheet. There is a heading above it. Can I print it on top of the image (overflowing it)? Example code: \setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape] \setuplayout[topspace=10mm,header=0mm,footer=10mm] \part[appendices]{Appendices} \appendix[visualization_relations]{A: Visualizations of the relations between perplexity, WER} \subappendix{A-1: Scatterplot of perplexity (LM\low{baseline} and LM\low{skip})} \placefigure [force] [scatterplot_of_PPL] {Scatterplot of perplexity (LM\low{baseline} and LM\low{skip}).} {\externalfigure[/tmp/scatterplot_of_PPL.svg][factor=fit]}

luatex core dump
by FA - ML 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Good evening, I recently reported a ^context bug in debian stable^ [1]. The error is: > mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted Since this is quite generic, the maintainer asked me wheter there were any core files. Is there any option/way to see what steps luatex made before failing? I checked the manual (command line arguments), but didn't find what I was searching for.

Section in golden ratio?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Hello, I'm trying to setup section to be placed vertically in the golden ratio of the page, i.e. cca 2 "units" above the section and 3 "units" bellow. How to achieve this? My code so far is: ---- \setuplayout[page] \define\bef{\page\hbox to\textheight\bgroup\vfill\vfill\fi} \define\aft{\vfill\vfill\vfill\egroup} \setuphead[section] [before=\bef,after=\aft, %commandbefore=\cbef,commandafter=\caft, alternative=middle, ] \starttext \section{AAA} \stoptext ---- The position is quite OK, but there is error "Too many }'s ..." during compilation... What's the problem? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.
