[NTG-context] how to insert symbols into document?
Hello context users: I would like to insert symbols into my document, especially black-diamond and losenge symbols. I read symbols page at contextgarden but still don't know how to do it. I also tried \showsymbolset[was] etc but the symbols but I did not find these (and many other symbols either) in the output pages. I found that symb-imp-mis.mkiv file defines this symbol (line 49) but I don't know how to make it show. Do I have to load specific symbol fonts? If yes how can I find out which font has the given symbols? What I tried so far included: % begin code \usesymbols[imp-mis] \starttext ◆ \blackdiamond \symbol [blackdiamond] % end code None of these show anything. Thanks in advance, bcsikos ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] how to insert symbols into document?
Hi,
You can use the mathmode to access those characters, as in the following
example:
\starttext
This is \type{$\blacklozenge$} $\blacklozenge$
This is \type{$\lozenge$} $\lozenge$
\stoptext
If you want to know the name of some specific characters you can use the
following code, typeset in mkii.
(Unfortunately in mkiv the command \showmathcharacters is made unavailable…
There is another command which gives a huge amount of informations on all such
characters, but not a simple table like the one you get in mkii).
begin show-math-mkii.tex
% To see all the math characters available in a font
% typeset this in mkii
\starttext
\showmathcharacters
\stoptext
begin show-math-mkii.tex
Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] test for new page
Can someone indicate how one can easily test for a new page in a list environment (or, indeed, anywhere else)? In one implementation of a listing, repeated sequential items or elements of items are suppressed, but I would like to repeat them when they occur at the top of a new page. I imagine that there could be an easy test for a new page or the text line number. Thanks, in advance, for any hints.
