Hi, (1) \goto(box) (1a) What's the difference between - goto and gotobox ? (1b) With \goto{Table of Contents}[contents] each word separately is interactive, not the whole word. How do you make so ? (3) \setuplist (3a) what is - depth ? - maxwidth ? (3b) margin=xpt sets the left margin to xpt How to set the right margin to xpt ? Thanks, Alan

- goto and gotobox ?

(1b) With \goto{Table of Contents}[contents] each word separately is interactive, not the whole word. How do you make so ?

gotobox does not split, just try both commands on a combination of words; also, gotobox does not check if the area is comfortable clickable (so you might need to add struts) (in a lists there are optins like interaction-all which makes the whole toc entry clockable)

...

(3) \setuplist

(3a) what is

- depth ?

detail .. sometimes you need to manipulat ethe depth of lines; seldom needed

...

- maxwidth ?

just try it on long entries .. it prevents too long lines this is a very long entry this is a very ...

(3b) margin=xpt sets the left margin to xpt

How to set the right margin to xpt ?

'width' is the width of the box for the number and 'distance' is the distance between the numberbox and the text. The result is something like: \hbox to 1em{1\hfil}\hskip 0pt{chapter title ...} ^^ ^^ width distance Wolfgang

Indeed, so normally you should be setting distance=(x>0)pt instead of the width trickery. Hence my question.

Depends on the situation, for left aligned numbers it didn't matter because you can't see where the space comes from (1) but for right aligned numbers you need a postive value for distance (2). (1) Left aligned number: \starttext \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR\bTD[width=1cm] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \bTABLE[frame=off,distance=5mm] \bTR\bTD[width=5mm] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext (2) Right aligned number: \starttext \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR\bTD[width=1cm,align=flushright] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \bTABLE[frame=off,distance=5mm] \bTR\bTD[width=5mm,align=flushright] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

Each lis entry has three argument: #1: The section number #2: The header text #3: The page number To define your own format for the list entry in the ToC you need a new command with three argument like \def\MyCommand#1#2#3 and use it in \setuplist with \setuplist[...][command=\MyCommand]. Wolfgang

The better way is to define you own list alternative.

\define[3]\ChapterList {\hbox {\hbox to .5em{#1}\hskip.5em \vtop{\hsize150pt\relax#2}% \hfil#3}}

\setuplist[chapter][alternative=command,command=\ChapterList]

I'll try that...

Depends on the situation, for left aligned numbers it didn't matter because you can't see where the space comes from (1) but for right aligned numbers you need a postive value for distance (2).

(1) Left aligned number:

\starttext \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR\bTD[width=1cm] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \bTABLE[frame=off,distance=5mm] \bTR\bTD[width=5mm] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

(2) Right aligned number:

\starttext \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR\bTD[width=1cm,align=flushright] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \bTABLE[frame=off,distance=5mm] \bTR\bTD[width=5mm,align=flushright] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

I'm impressed...

So you really have an MBA in Klingon! :O)

- maxwidth ?

just try it on long entries .. it prevents too long lines

this is a very long entry this is a very ...

Ok I see. Now, in \placecontent or \setuplist, which parameter allows to influence where long lines are cut off in two (or more) ?

Like...

(number) This long long chapter title (pagenumber)

vs.

(number) This long long chapter title (pagenumber)

Using the brute force tactic I tried setting width and textwith which didn't work. It could be textcommand. If so what does \command#1 mean ( see main manual pg 150 ) ?

The effect for maxwidth (3cm in my example) is this:

\starttext \limitatetext {This long long chapter title} {3cm} {\unknown} \stoptext

I just tried with

style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setuplinewidth[(x)pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]}

and several values for (x) in

\startinteractionmenu[myMenu] \placecontent[ criterium=all, alternative=b, % style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},

style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setuplinewidth[150pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]}, interaction=all, before={\blank[small]\startnarrower[left,right]}, after={\stopnarrower\blank[medium]}] \stopinteractionmenu

but that generates a compile error. Grrr...

Was the empty line also in your source, if your answer is yes remove it. Wolfgang

No, it wasn't in my sauce, correction: source. Although... My source sometimes looks like a messed up sauce. :O) Alan
