Thank you, clean and elegant (and much easier than Willi's suggestion).
The syntax is a bit magical, though ("location" of the caption).

Hi,

How can one suppress the addition of a placed figure to the
listoffigures?

In the following MWE, list=no places "no" as an alternative to the
(blank) title.

Alan


\starttext

\startplacefigure [location=inmargin,number=no,list=no]

\startplacefigure [location={inmargin,none}]

I would define another float and assign this not to be listed float to this new 
float-type something like \definefloat[Notlisted][figure] and then
\startplaceNotlisted
\externalf…
\stopplaceNotlisted

When you want to change the structure of your document when using
structure levels, all that you need do is add or subtract a level of
nesting. With named levels, it is easy to create complicated documents
that jump around in level, which would be pretty messy.

What a nightmare it would be to add or subtract a named structure level
in a complicated document.

This being said, I still mostly use named structure levels myself, as
old habits are hard to change (but don't tell Hans this!).

Oooh, shiny! In the TEI community, there are also people who repeat that

But seriously: by all means, let's allow nesting. But don't let anyone

[Alan BRASLAU]

Indeed, Hans, it would be nice to be able to nest sectionlevels within
a chapter...section... scheme (which is NOT depreciated, although
antiquated).

Currently, \startsectionlevel will by default start a chapter. One
would like it to start a section if located within a chapter, a
subsection, if located within a section, etc. This should be possible.

[NTG-context] duplex printing and doublesided

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hi Hans,

I have the following sample:

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=portrait]
\starttext
No duplex printing.
\page[right]
In this document.
\stoptext

I’m afraid that doublesided alternative disables duplex printing.

This would be a good reason to implement the features already asked at
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/084298.html.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Hi Mari,

how about adding "\setcounter[userpage][1]" just before the introduction?

Just in case it might help,

Re: [NTG-context] Page number woes

Greetings all!

I have a book setup that worked perfectly as long as the inside cover
was only one page long. But then we added information to the inside
cover and had to split the information on two pages. The so called
inside cover works fine, the TOC works fine, but the main text part
(starting with Intro) begins now on page 2 when it should be on page
1. And this happens even when the TOC is two pages long, which is a
bit weird (I would assume that if it counts TOC into page numbers,
two-page TOC would mean that Intro starts on page 3, but nope, it
still starts on page 2).

The minimal sample attached to this message is really ugly as it
doesn't contain any of the environment files, but the problem is
visible here just as well as in the real thing - if I make the second
page of the inside cover disappear, Intro starts on page 1 as it
should. If the so called inside cover is two pages long, Intro starts
on page 2. (The file to be compiled is prd-pr43-general_test.tex, the
others are component files.)

It is quite possible the TOC file is the culprit and it has been pure
luck that everything has worked until now... I don't understand the
page mechanism in ConTeXt well enough to see where the problem is.

I noticed that my ConTeXt version is pretty old: "ConTeXt ver:
2015.02.03 23:55 MKIV beta" (hmm... I didn't update at ConTeXt meeting
as I usually do, stupid me.)
I'd rather not update just now (production in sensitive phase), but if
you think the problem will go away with an update, I'll do it.

Move your intro text after the \startfrontmatter command everything before
it doesn’t belong to any sectionblock.

You can also omit \startext and \stoptext commands when you \startcomponent
etc. because they already do the work of \starttext.

Re: [NTG-context] How to store command line arguments in ConTeXt LUA Documents?

What I would like to do is something like this:

something = context.getcommandlineargument("ARG1") -- doesn't exist
-- make some tests here to check if 'something' has the right syntax
context.startdocument{title = something}
context.input("knuth")
context.stopdocument()
-- end of the example

Then, one has just to launch:
$ context file.cld --ARG1="My first title"


environment.arguments

Thank you. It works very well.

I did not find this table in any documentation. Did I forget something?

If I want to document it, what is the best place?
- http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getdocumentargument
- another place in the wiki which evokes lua environment tables...


maybe expand the lua section of the wiki
