[NTG-context] slight correction to 'short filler rule' question

[jbf]

In the earlier post I mentioned the rules not balancing. That was my 
error. In experimenting with things I had made a minor error with one of 
the single \quad statements. Apologies. So, at this stage, replacing 
left=\zerowidthnobreakspace  with left=\quads[3] on the ChapterLeftRule, 
and doing similarly with right= for the ChapterRightRule, I do achieve 
something of the kind I am after. I can even go as far as \quads[5] I 
can see. So maybe I have achieved the desired effect. But it may not be 
the best way to do it, since I can't control the length of those rules 
by exact dimensions using this approach.

[NTG-context] short filler rule either side of a text

[jbf]

I know it is possible to get a rule to act as a filler either side of, 
say, a chapter head text by using \definefiller with alternative=rule 
and, as explained in an earlier post 
, 
define a left and right version. So, for example, for the left version:


\definefiller
  [ChapterLeftRule]
  [ChapterRule]
  [left=\zerowidthnobreakspace,
   right=\quad]

This gives me a rule that extends to the margins. What if I want the 
rule to be, say, 2 cm either side of my centered header text? I tried 
experimenting by replacing left=\zerowidthnobreakspace with 
left=\quads[3] and that did shorten the rule somewhat, but when I did 
the same for the other side, it did not balance correctly. So maybe I 
need to deal with the 'left=' differently to achieve the desired 
result... or try an entirely different method!


Of course, I don't want the rule at the baseline, but raised, as the 
original stackexchange 
 
example gives. Any clues?

[NTG-context] keeping content chunks on same page

[Mike Cooper]

Just about to have these homework files finished!

My final problem (I hope) is keeping question/answer blocks together.

The questions are currently defined via \defineenumeration with a \testpage 
(see below).  I fiddled with the \testpage and found that \testpage[6] gave me 
the best results but there are still some question/answer blocks that get split 
across pages.  The content chunks can be as small as a single line question 
with T/F answer options, or as large as seven lines for the question and seven 
for the answer options (although I don't think both of these occur together).

In my searching for solutions, I thought I'd found something helpful with 
\startframed but I can't figure any way to combine the framed and enumeration...

Anyway, here's some code.  It doesn't demonstrate the page-break problem but 
gives an idea of the different possible sizes of question/answer chunks.

\defineenumeration[question]
   [text=,
headstyle=normal,
right=.,
alternative=left,
distance=1em,
width=fit,

For this subfigure stuff, perhaps this is useful?

I could not find a safe way to increment the subfigure number automatically, 
unfortunately.

You can set your own section numbers but the counter isn't stopped.

Thank you! I overlooked "ownnumber". It works for sections, but not for items 
or floats.

\setnumber[section][10] doesn’t work, \setcounter the same (according to the

no counter at all?

\setnumber[figure][10] works (but only with integers, not some alphanumerical

\setupnumber is a synonym of \setupcounter and exists for backwards 
compatibility.

I’m also interested in overriding automatical numbering, e.g. of chapters or 
itemization items.

E.g. in my songbook, I’d like to have the verses numbered but interrupted by a 
chorus numbered as "C" (i.e. "R" in German).
Similarly the paragraphs of some (by)laws that were changed a lot and use a 
numbering like 1, 2, 3, 3a, 4, 7...

Something like
\startitem[number={R}]
or
\startsection[number={3a}]
would be nice.
If I set it to an integer, ConTeXt should set the counter accordingly, 
otherwise continue counting from the previous calculated number. Would that be 
possible?

BTW do sections, items and floats all use counters (\setnumber/\getnumber) or 
other mechanisms?

Re: [NTG-context] Label to delete in the table of contents

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Fabrice Couvreur schrieb am 23.08.2020 um 16:02:

Hello,
For the title of the chapters I use the following command.

\unexpanded\def\HeadTitle#1#2%
   {\framed
[frame=off,
       width=fit,
       align=flushleft]
 {\color[darkgray]{\tfxx\cap\bf\labeltext{chapter}}
\blank#1\blank#2}

When I compile my project, I have the label "Chapitre" above the word 
"Sommaire" in the table of contents : how to delete it ?


1. Don't apply the command to \title

\setuphead[title][command=]


2. Make the command local to bodypart of your document, this works only 
when you use section blocks (e.g. \startbodymatter)


\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
    \setuphead[chapter][command=\HeadTitle]
\stopsectionblockenvironment

First: Color parts use decimal numbers from 0 to 1.

Even if some color names are predefined, you should define your grays yourself 
– either as shades of black only or maybe with a bit of cyan. Grays in more 
(process) colors are unstable and might get a tint (color cast) you don’t want. 
(Of course you could use other colors than cyan for some tinting, depending on 
your work.)

E.g. I often \definecolor[deepblack][c=.3,k=1] for black areas; the cyan 
portion evens out some irregularities in print.
Because I don’t trust ConTeXt’s (or my) color setup, I also 
\definecolor[cmykblack][k=1] to avoid “RGB black”. (But 
\setupcolor[cmyk=yes,rgb=no,overprint=yes] should handle that already.)

If you want to use grays as spot colors (e.g. Pantone) you must define them as 
such – but usually you don’t want (to pay for) more than one spot color. Spot 
gray makes sense if you have big areas of that color, since 100% spot color 
looks better than any percent rastered black.
