Hi all, this sounds easy, but I can't seem to find a solution. I want my section headers to look like so: 1. April 4 Title of chapter i.e. have the title right aligned. I thought this should be as simple as \section{April 4 \hfill Title of chapter} but alas, no, it's always flush left. Is there an obvious solution I'm overlooking? Thanks Thomas

The section title does not have more than one line. This looks ok, but is quite ugly input: \section{April 4 \hfill Title of chapter\break} But that could be hidden inside a deeptextcommand, of course Cheers, Taco
Hi gang, Taco's solution to Thomas' section question reminds me: How can I evenly spread the contents of a box or column-row? In PlainTeX there is \hbox{Here\hfill is\hfill an\hfill evenly\hfill spread\hfill line.} but there must be a better (read "ConTeXt-") way. I looked into this years ago and may have found the answer; but I've forgotten it...

Taco, thanks! This made me experiment with my file again, and it turned out there is some strange interference because I have defined a command in \setuphead[section]. When I comment it out, I get the output I want. I'll do some more experiments and will report back. Thanks Thomas

OK, after some more experiments: it looks like I can't have a command= AND a \hfill in my sections. I have something like \setuphead [section] [command=\incrementSlideNumber, page=yes, ] in my definition. If I comment the command= line out or put a \ in front of the comma at the end, the section title looks the way I want, but the command does (of course) not work any longer. If I have the command, the \hfill is not honored. Strange, but I can live with it. All best Thomas

Can you provide some more details? This works fine here \setuphead[section][command=\mycommand] \def\mycommand#1#2{\framed[width=0.8\textwidth]{#1#2}} \starttext \section{ABC\hfill DEF} \stoptext Aditya

has to do with being in vertical or horizontal mode; also keep in mind that section heads are to take care of lists, marks, refs as well, so the underlying code is somewhat messy and complex grep for \defineheadplacement in core-sec ... you can implement your own variants 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends, For about a year and a half I have been using Taco's macro for theorems. I use it in the following way: \startCasus[casus-166][Title: my title] text text text \stopCasus The result ought to be: Casus 1. Title: my title The macro has been working fine, but recently it does not print the title anymore, leaving only Casus 1. I badly need it working for my courses. Has anyone any suggestions?

Hi Robert, I have not looked into Taco's code carefully. But at first glance I do not see why it should not work. I can not test it right now. However, I am working on enhancing enumerations to have all the features needed for theorems. With what I have right now, you can do \defineenumeration[Casus][title=yes,titledistance=1ex,titleleft={Title: },titleright=] after which you can say, \startCasus[casus-166]{my title} to get the same result. You can also get end-of-proof markers. This is something that I am working on right now, but if you want to test it, I can send you the files. Aditya
Thanks Aditya for your suggestion. The problem is that I already have about 200 separate documents in this format: \startCasus[casus-166][Title: my title] Text \stopcasus Does anyone have an other idea? Regards, Robert Op Za, 3 maart, 2007 7:37 pm schreef Aditya Mahajan:

This is strange. For some reason, you did not get all the files. I am assuming that you updated using Miktex's update wizard (guessing from the date of the files). Try the following: ctxtools --updatecontext This will download the latest cont-tmf files from pragma-ade's website and install them on your machine. Then go to Miktex Options and press "Refresh FNDB" and "Update Formats" and hopefully, everything should work. Another option is to download the mswinstandalone files from pragma-ade, and unzip them on your computer. Then you need to run E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex on the command line to set up the path. With this you can be sure of having the most up to date context version. Aditya

Actually, try using Miktex's update wizard once again before you try the manual steps. Right now, with Miktex's update wizard says "There are currently no intact repositories". I guess that is because things are shifting to texlive 2007.
Try the following:
ctxtools --updatecontext
