Re: [NTG-context] 'Glossary' on every page
� wrote:
Hello to all,
I have a problem: I want to add a kind of glossary on a book. It will
be, in fact, an explanation of acronyms ('NATO: North Atlantic Treaty
Organisation' for instance).
But... I'd want it on every page, only for the acronyms used on the
current page (and alphabetically sorted if possible)...
I tried using layers (with or without tying them to backgrounds),
blocks (\begin... \end...), buffers, list of synonyms, etc. but I had
problems with one of the requirements or another. :-)
My first idea was to use blocks for each page :
\beginABREV[1]
NATO: North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
\endABREV
\beginABREV[1]
BLOB: Binary Large Object
\endABREV
and to use them with \useblocks[ABREV][\pagenumber] in the footer. To
be sure to give the right page number to \beginABREV, I tried to
define a label and use it, something like (from memory, I don't have
my code near to me):
\reference[abbrev\ABREVcount]% Put a label
\beginABREV[{\ref[r][abbrev\ABREVcount]}]% and use the label to get
the current page on subsequent runs.
but I went on a nightmare of expansion problems... Plus it didn't
eliminate duplicates nor sort the acronyms. But it would have been a
start... :-)
Can someone point me to the right direction?
well, instead of making some complex new mechanism, why not misuse notes

if there is interest i can add the glossary defs (maybe using a

I'm a bit puzzled why the notes don't split well ... maybe taco has an
idea (he knows ttp -)
concerning abbreviations ... maybe some day i'll add a feature like this
to it

RE: [NTG-context] footnote text formatting
Hi Hans,
Looking back on this, is it possible to add a key like
[notetextcommand=command#1] so that one can control things like indentation
without resorting to redefining things?:
\setupnote[endnote][location=none,margindistance=0em,
notetextcommand=\hskip1.2em]
seems nice...

Idris,
here's my hack for achieving this footnote format (which seems much
more common in the humanities than the default provided by ConTeXt):
\def\NoteNumber#1{\hbox to 15pt{\hfill #1.}}
\setupfootnotes[rule=off,
distance=-3em,
margindistance=-3em,
numbercommand=\NoteNumber]
\def\MyFootnote#1{\footnote{\hskip4em #1}}

[NTG-context] a small typo
Hi all,
IMHO type-dis.tex should contain the line:
\definefontsynonym[il2-lmtti10] [csitt10] [encoding=il2]
instead of bad:
\definefontsynonym[il2-lmtti10] [cstti10] [encoding=il2]
-- the difference is in csitt/cstti font name.
Have a nice day,
Martin

Re: [NTG-context] critical editions in context
Thomas A.Schmitz wrote:
Sorry, hit the send button by accident.
OK, I feel guilty resurrecting this stale thread, but I can't resist
asking again.
I found this in m-arabtex.tex:
%\pushmacro\edmacloaded \let \edmacloaded \undefined
and later
%\popmacro\edmacloaded
Both lines are commented out, so I'm still wondering if edmac will work
with ConTeXt out of the box.
The absolute basics that are needed for critical editions are:
1. Capability to have footnotes with reference to line-number instead of
counter. These notes must not end with a newline character (see
ASCII-art at end of post), but must provide the possibility to have
several on one line. These notes must not flow, they have to stay on the
same page as the reference. Horizontal tolerance can be set to very
sloppy to achieve this
2. Must be possible to apply a format like \bf vel. sim. to the reference.
3. Within these notes, it should be possible to refer to other line
numbers.
4. Nice, but not quite essential: possibility to have notes in more than
one column.
5. Not absolutely basic, but important for serious work: have more than
one set of notes referring to the same passage.
Is this possible in ConTeXt out of the box? If not, I'd be willing to
roll up my sleeves and help, but would like to know which would be a
good starting point.
I looked at core-ltn.tex. I'm not sure if core-nnt and page-nnt refer to
core-not and page-not; I couldn't find anything appropriate in these files.
the files are in the main distribution for some time; i'm still waiting for
idris to test them; following is my test file (seems that it has a patch -)

Example what should be possible:
1 This manual is about ConTEXt, a system for typesetting documents.
2 Central element in this name is the word TEX because the typographical
3 programming language TEX is the base for ConTEXt. People who are used
4 to TEX will probably identify this manual as a TEX document. They
recognise
5 the use of \. One may also notice that the way pararaphs are broken
into lines
6 is often better than in the avarage typesetting system.
