Two problems with my chapter quote setup
I've got this in my environment file: \def\ClearChapterQuote{\def\ChapterQuote{}} \ClearChapterQuote \def\ChQuoteFormat#1{\starttext% \startalignment[left]% \startnarrower[4*left] \noindent{\hyphenpenalty 10000\em #1}% \stopnarrower\stopalignment\stoptext\blank} \setuphead[chapter] [page=left, before={\ChQuoteFormat{\ChapterQuote}\noheaderandfooterlines% \page[right]\blank[2*big]}, after={\ClearChapterQuote\blank[3*big]}% \noheaderandfooterlines] I've got two problems with this setup: First, even with the \hyphenpenalty I get this line breaking: For what can a man accomplish that has not been done a million times before? What can he say that he will not find in Lao-Tse or the Bhagavad-gita or the Prophet Isa- iah? John Steinbeck — Sweet Thursday (Interestingly, when I copy/paste this from Apple's Preview.app I get For what can a man accomplish that has not been done a million times before? What can he say that he will not find in Lao-Tse or the Bhagavad-gita or the Prophet Isaiah? John Steinbeck — Sweet Thursday) no -, no line break, etc. Anyway: this line breaking is really ugly. I can fix this by hand, but I'd rather have this working automatically. My second problem is that I get two empty numbered pages between chapters. As in page 13: last text of chapter 1 page 14: empty page with page number page 15: empty page with page number page 16: page with quote and no page number page 17: first page of chapter 2 no page number I'd like to get rid of pages 14 and 15. I think I need to only do a page=left when I am on a right page at that time (page=even has the same result) Thanks, G
Gerben, do you have a minimal source file to let us try out? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
I will try to create one. How do I again put in a series of tufte? G On 19 Mar 2005, at 21:09, Patrick Gundlach wrote:

Hi,
I will try to create one. How do I again put in a series of tufte?

I was unable to reproduce the problem in a small file. It does appear in a project structure. But I have an archive that displays the problem: http://mail.rna.nl/~gerben/problem-test.tar.gz G On 19 Mar 2005, at 21:09, Patrick Gundlach wrote:

It seems to happen when at stopfrontmatter and startappendices. G On 19 Mar 2005, at 23:51, Gerben Wierda wrote:

I get only a blank page.
If you open problem-test/products/prd_book.pdf from the archive you will see that on the page numbered 7 (the 9th page in the PDF file) there is text. At that stage the frontmatter ends and the first chapter should start. It should start with the quote on page 8 (without a page number) and the start of the chapter on page 9. But what actually happens is that 8 and 9 are empty pages with a page number and the quote is on page 10 and the chapter starts on 11. I suspect that \stopfrontmatter forces a page. Hans? G

I didn't download your archive, but perhaps your problem is related to http://contextgarden.net/Empty_page_at_the_end Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

indeed \setupsectionblock [frontpart] [page=] % yes by default the reason is that marks needs to be synchronized; if you add your own \page command, make sure that you do it at the right moment page changes are always a bit tricky esp since one wants header etc to be nicely in sync as well; also, \page <some node> \page can introduce empty pages (tex related, not so much context) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
