[NTG-context] suppress unwanted page breaks
Hi ConTextists,
I have a few pages with questions and answers
\setuptolerance[verytolerant]
\defineparagraphs
[mypar][n=3,before={\blank[back]}]%,after={\blank[disable]}]
\setupparagraphs
[mypar][1][width=.01\textwidth,style=bold]
\setupparagraphs
[mypar][2][width=.95\textwidth]
\starttext
\page[bigpreference]
1. Question
\blank[1*line]
\blank[1*line]
\startmypar
*
\mypar
First possible answer
\mypar
\externalfigure[marked]
\stopmypar
\blank[1*line]
\blank[1*line]
\startmypar
*
\mypar
Second possible answer
\mypar
\externalfigure[empty]
\stopmypar
...
More question and answers blocks
\stoptext
My problems:
- Sometimes the answer is not broken up into lines correctly, but prints
over the externalfigure, which is a marker, with the given answer is the
correct one.
- I want the question to stay together on one page with the answers, but
sometimes there are pagebreaks in between.
- I guess there are better ways to code this, so if you have a better
ideas, go ahead.
(I created a minimal example from my multipage text, and hope that I
included all relevant setup commands).
Kind regards,
Ingo Hohmann

Here's a way to process the input lines. If there's a counter that counts the
line number, there would be another way; but I couldn't find out that there was
a counter. There may be better ways anyway.
\define\FirstLine{\let\myLine\SecondLine\sc}
\define\SecondLine{\let\myLine\OtherLine\bf}
\define\OtherLine{\tf}
\definelines[doMyLines][command=\myLine]
\def\startMyLines{\let\myLine\FirstLine\startdoMyLines}
\def\stopMyLines{\stopdoMyLines}
As I said that works, but while trying to understand this, I found
that the documentation for \definelines doesn't mention the
command= option. On the other hand it does mention align= and
this doesn't work. Neither does \setuplines.
I always get undefined control sequence.

Make a complete example.
I thought I could get away without it, because it's practically the
answer to my question, just with alignment.
For some reason, now that I started from scratch to show the example, it
works.
\define\FirstLine{\let\myLine\SecondLine\sc}
\define\SecondLine{\let\myLine\OtherLine\bf}
\define\OtherLine{\tf}
% this align here didn't work
\definelines[doMyLines][align=flushright,command=\myLine]
% and this setup doesn't
%\setupdoMyLines[align=flushright]
\def\startMyLines{\let\myLine\FirstLine\startdoMyLines}
\def\stopMyLines{\stopdoMyLines}
\definelines[right][align=flushright]
% I get an error here, too.
%\setupright[align=flushright]
\starttext
\startright
test
\stopright
\startMyLines
First line in caps,
Second in bold,
Others normal.
Others normal.
Others normal.
\stopMyLines
\stoptext
BTW: I suggest to use my Lua example from the other thread.
When I looked at it first, it was in the middle of the night. And it
looked a bit over the moon for me. Now I think I can grab it, and it
looks _very_ powerfull.
Thank you.
Ingo

You are trying to use the date before it is defined. You can use a
two-pass mechanism:
\define\mydate{\datasetvariable{mydata}{date}{date}}
Thank you Marco, this works.
Is it possible to update fields in the datasetvariables table, or is it
only possible to replace the whole table?
\setdataset[data][info][date=\currentdate]
\setdataset[data][info][subject={subject}]
After the second line, the first value is gone.
Thank you,
Ingo

If you mean input lines, then yes. But if you mean output lines, then I don't
know. It seems a well-defined task, but a hard task judging by how the
line-breaking algorithm is described by Knuth. I'll leave that question to
experts.

OR

gives the same error.
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

[NTG-context] Getting the content of source lines in a \startlines \stoplines env?
Hi, in another thread I got an answer to the question, how to format lines in an environment automatically. Is there a way to get the content of source lines?

[NTG-context] deferred variable lookup in environment?
Hi,
sorry if the subject is misleading, I'm not sure how to say it in few words.
I'm trying to have the date in a layer in an environment. In the text
using the environment, I want to be able to set the date.
If the date is not set, the current date should be used, otherwise the
set date.
This is what I've tried, but it is always the currentdate, that is
displayes.
Environment file:
\def\mydate{}
\definelayer[firstpage] % name of the layer
[x=0mm, y=0mm, % from upper left corner of paper
width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] % let the layer cover the
full paper
\setlayer[firstpage]% name of the layer
[hoffset=14cm, voffset=3.5cm] % placement (from upper left corner
of the layer)
{\framed[frame=on, width=4cm, height=2cm]{
% always shows \currentdate
\doiftextelse{\mydate}{\mydate}{\currentdate}
}}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={firstpage}]
File using this environment:
\environment[testenv]
\def\mydate{2011-11-11}
\starttext
% this shows the value from mydate
\doiftextelse{\mydate}{\mydate}{\currentdate}
\stoptext
Is it possible to get \mydate in the layer?
Kind regards,
Ingo

[NTG-context] setupblock with starttyping doesn't work
Hello, this is my first post to this mailing list. I have played a little bit with latex and context before, and now I am trying context for real. To get a feel for it, I am setting up a letter style for my self, and some problems are showing up now. So here it goes ... What I want to accomplish: The user writes the address, and he should not have to use \crlf or have to use several distinct commands. Why does the following not work? \defineblock[Address] \setupblock[Address][ before=\starttyping, after=\stoptyping ] \starttext \beginAddress Peter Pan Somewhere over the Rainbow Neverland \endAddress \useblocks[Address] Some more text. \stoptext Kind regards, Ingo ___ 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 ___
