[NTG-context] Simple input vs component structure
Hi all, I have a set of reference manuals that consist of a number of chapters. Those documents pull in the individual chapters via \input commands. I have just recently discovered that ConTeXt actually DOES support a project/product/component structure. So, I have been experimenting with making the individual reference manuals ‘products’ and converting all chapters into ‘components’. However, I wonder what that actually gains me? What are the benefits of this product/component structure? It looks like I can reference other sections in these other components, but I can do that now even with the simple \input. What am I missing? Another related question in this context is: What do I actually expect when I run the project file, as in: $ context project.tex ConText runs for a little while, and actually states in the log somewhere result saved in file: project.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 3 but no such file is generated; it also does not build the individual components? What does it do? Or what should I expect it to do? Thank you, Malte -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

Re: [NTG-context] Building a Component
Hi Wolfgang, Thank you, that works indeed. It seems to be incorrect on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure>; see Example Files/Component. What is the significance of those two lines, though? The documentation states I can use the Component in any Product even if not specified on the \product line. I assume it just makes sure that the environment file for the Product is pulled in, would that be right? Does it do anything else? Analogous, the \project line just pulls in environment file for the project? Thank you, Malte. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

[NTG-context] Building a Component
Hi all,
I am just familiarising myself with projects/products/components. I have a
number of documents that all belong to a large set of Reference Manuals and so
far I have built them all separately and have relied a lot on the simple
\input... statement. I assume with projects/products/components I might be able
to do something much smarter. Let’s see.
I get stuck quite early on, though. I have created a minimal component file
‘component-1.tex’ and when I build it, context runs into what seems to be an
infinite recursion. Here is the file:
\project test-project
\product reference-manual-1
\startcomponent component-1
\starttext
\section[c1-s1]{Component 1 Section 1}
This is a paragraph in Component 1 Section 1
\stoptext
\stopcomponent
...and here is the console when I run it:
> context component-1.tex

Here is reference-manual-1.tex:

\startproduct reference-manual-1
\component component-1
\stopproduct
This is with the latest context downloaded today. All I really know about this
is from here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure; anything else I
should be reading?
Any ideas? Thank you,
Malte.

[NTG-context] Access to Intermediate Document after Pre-processing
Hi all, I am working with a reasonably complex document structure, where I make heavy use of the following constructs \input (to import a number of source files) \if and \newif (to switch between different paragraphs depending on some conditions) \setvariable and \getvariable (to reuse some text in different places) So, does ConTeXt run some sort of pre-processing step that processes all of the above and which results in an intermediate document that is then type-set? And is it possible to only run this pre-processing step and get access to that intermediate document? I am asking as I have some Ruby scripts that take ConTeXt documents and convert it to another format. However, those scripts do not deal with any of the above and rather than implementing the necessary logic to deal with importing of files, conditions and variables, I thought ConTeXt does that already if only I could get access to the resulting intermediate file. Does that makes sense? Thank you, Malte.

Actually, I just realised this only works if the next page (the right page
following the empty left page) is the first page of a chapter in the
bodymatter. That is, it does not work in the following two cases:
- If the next page is the first page of the first appendix
This happens because sectionblocks force a right page at the start of each
block, you can disable this with
\setupsectionblock[page=yes] % default: page=right
- If there is no next page, ie. for the last page of the document
This should also be solved with the solution above. When the number still
appears you can try to add \page[last] at the end of your document.

[NTG-context] Halt ConTeXt on Certain Warnings/Errors
Hi all, Is there are way I can have ConTeXt halt on particular warnings or errors? In particular, I like it to spit the dummy when it finds an unknown reference. Otherwise, I end up with the unknown references in the document that I sometimes don't find until much later. At the moment I grep for reference when I run context, as in context *.tex | grep reference ...but I thought there might be some more elegant way to do this.

Re: [NTG-context] Vertically Aligning inmargin Text to Figure
Wolfgang,
I have to come back to this solution you provided me with some time ago. I have
more reading in the meantime and have gained a deeper understanding of how this
actually works. However...
1. I noticed that the text in the margin is not actually quite aligned with the
top of the figure; I think the text starts at the baseline of the line that
would be there if the figure was not, if you know what I am getting at. That is
at 12pt font size the text is about 12pt below the top of the figure. I tried
to fix that with some negative \vskip, but that does not seem to work. Could
you suggest an alternative please and maybe even explain why the code below
does not compile
You can set the text in the margin with the second argument of
\startplacefigure.
\define\FigureText
{\dowithnextbox
{\startlinealignment[middle]
\copy\nextbox\rlap{\hskip\rightmargindistance\vskip-12pt\framed[frame=off,width=\rightmarginwidth,height=\nextboxht]{\floatuserdataparameter{text}}}
\stoplinealignment}
\hbox}
2. Currently the code always uses the right margin; I need it to use the outer
margin. I experimented swapping the \rlap for \llap, but then I still have to
negatively \hskip the entire text width to the left. Even if I got that to
work, I will have to wrap everything in an if-statement and have one branch for
left and one for right pages. Right? How do I find out whether I am on a left
or a right page? In other words, how would the if-statement look like.
Thank you,
Malte.

[NTG-context] Learning ConTeXt from the Ground Up
Hello Everyone, I have been using ConTeXt for over a year now and worked out how to do most things I need to do. Every now and then, though, I need to do something that I cannot find any information about and in most cases I post a question here on the forum. I have received great help here over the months and like to thank everyone who took the time to answer my questions. The other day, however, I had a problem, posted a message here, got an answer and the answer did not quite work; I went back to the forum, got more help... In the process I realised that I should have been able to work this out myself; I was not even able to tweak the first answer and make it work. I am an IT engineer myself, but with little time (I guess I am not unique here) and even less experience in TeX. I guess what I am saying is, that I would like to gain a much deeper understanding of ConTeXt which will allow me to program in ConTeXt rather than just using the documented command. To gather information about ConTeXt I have - read the ConTeXt Reference Manual (http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf) - bought a couple of the published books by Hans Hagen - started reading the TeX book by Donald Knuth I have even briefly flirted with the idea of switching to LaTeX mainly because it would mean having a lot more literature and a broader community at my disposal. However, I just prefer the command structure and output of ConTeXt. Can anyone relate to my problem? Am I on the right track? What else should I be doing or reading to really break into ConTeXt? Regards, Malte. PS: Just to be clear; I don't mean for the above to be conceived as shortcomings of ConTeXt, rather I think of them as shortcomings of myself. The developers of ConTeXt have done a fantastic job and I really enjoy writing in ConTeXt and looking at the output. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

[NTG-context] Different Horizontal Lines with Tabulate
Hello, I have a table in which I have to group a number of rows together. Let's say I have a table with two columns, the first is an item ID and the second a multi-line description for that item. Say I have ten items in the table and I need to group Item 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 and so on. Due to the description being quite lengthy in some cases, I would like to use some sort of horizontal rule between items. It seems I have to following options: 1. Using horizontal rules of two different thicknesses (eg. thicker between groups and thinner between items within the same group) 2. Using horizontal rules of two different colour (eg. black between groups and a light grey between items within the same group) 3. Using horizontal rules of different lengths (that is, full length between groups and only in the second column between items within the same group) Are any of the above possible with tabulate? I could not find anything to achieve any of those. I am quite used to tabulate as my table framework, so I would prefer to use that. If that's not possible however, I'd be happy to use something else. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] Split \starttabulates
Hello,
This is a bit old now, but I would like to come back to it. First of all,
Marco, thank you for your response. I did try it and it does work. However, I
seem to be loosing other things like adjusting the table width; things that
\placetable provides.
\placetable also has the advantage that I don't have to wrap it around my
tables, it just appears at the beginning, not the end. A couple of points:
- I tried to find some documentation about \startplacetable… \stopplacetable to
see how I could enforce the width and generally to see what options there were.
I could not find any, not even in the source code. How is this pair defined?
- I also tried to find out the overall problem with \placetable. According to
this page here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Floating_Objects the split option
should work, but for TABLEs only. So, I think this does not work for me because
I am using TABULATE, right? The split function in \setuptabulate works as well,
but only if the table is not inserted using \placetable, that is as a float.
So, \placetable knows how to split a TABLE but not a TABULATE although
\starttabulate… \stoptabulate knows how to split itself. Is that right? But if
it is not inserted as a float, I do not get a caption and I cannot refer to my
table later on, right? There seem to be different ways of doing this, all of
which miss out on some fine detail I need them to do. So, after all that
rumbling, I guess, I am asking...
…is there another way of:
- placing a TABULATE table such that it has a caption that I can refer to;
- split the TABULATE table across multiple pages;
- and control the width of the TABULATE table.
Thank you,
Malte.

[NTG-context] Lettrine not Working as Expected
Hello everyone,
I have been trying the lettrine module and have come across some unexpected
behaviour. I have been following the documentation found here
http://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/t-lettrine/doc/context/third/lettrine/lettrine-doc.pdf
and have proceeded to make a minimal example:
\usemodule[lettrine]
\starttext
\lettrine[Lines=3]{T}{his is a test} \input knuth
\stoptext
Unfortunately the output is not quite what (I think) it should be. It appears
that the first line is rendered as expected, but that it is followed by a
vertical gap---an extraordinary line spacing if you will---that places the
second line all the way beneath the 'T', where the forth line would be
expected. However, the second and third line are indented the way you would
expect, they are just two lines further down as they should.
As this may be hard to express, I have attached a small PDF with the result of
the above code.
Thank you,
Malte.

working example; (3) an explanation of how I found this out (I had
never heard of inoutermargin before).
(1) An answer to your question.
I grepped the ConTeXt source code for `inoutermargin`, and found out
it is an instance of the `margindata` class. This is its setup
command:
\setupmargindata[inoutermargin][style=bold,color=red]
(2) A minimal working example. It is nice to include an MWE when you
ask a question -- it makes things easier for people who want to try to
answer the question, because they don't have to think up their own
example. Anyway, I'm including this one for the benefit of people who
stumble across this e-mail from the future, and want to play with
\inoutermargin. :-)
\setuppapersize[A8,landscape] % w x h is about 7.5x5
\setuplayout[
backspace=1cm,
width=3cm,
%
leftmargin=0.5cm,
leftmargindistance=2mm,
%
rightmargin=2cm,
rightmargindistance=2mm]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\showframe
\startbuffer
asdf asdf asdf
\inoutermargin{bsdf}
\page[yes]
\stopbuffer
\setupmargindata
[inoutermargin]
[style=bold,color=red]
\starttext
\getbuffer
\getbuffer
\getbuffer
\stoptext
(3) How I found the answer
Whenever I want to learn about a command I don't know yet, I grep for
it in the source code. (I ignore bits like 'setup' or 'start'.) I've
even got a shell command for it, to make searching the source as easy
as possible:
function grepcon {
cd /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/
grep -R $* *
}
`grepcon inoutermargin` gave me two hits in mkii files, and one in
typo-mar.mkiv:
\definemargindata[inoutermargin][\v!outer][...various style
setups...]. That set me on the right track. If you frequently need to
work out how commands work, I cannot recommend enough that you make
your own source-searching function and use it enough. For me, at
least, it's enormously helpful.
Cheers,
Sietse

[NTG-context] Page Numbers on Outer Edge of Outer Margin
Hi,
I have a rather wide, 41mm, outer margin in a manual and I am trying to put the
page number into the margin like so:
\setuppagenumbering[
alternative=doublesided,
location={header, margin},
style=bold,
]
The trouble is that the page number is only a few millimetres wide and gets
positioned on the inside edge of my outside margin. Hence, it does not end up
close enough to the edge of the page. I guess, I would like to right-align it
4mm from the edge of a right-hand page and left-align it by the same amount
from the edge of a left-hand page. Is that doable?
Thank you,
Malte.

Re: [NTG-context] Page Numbers on Outer Edge of Outer Margin
Marco,
Thank you, I have opted for your solution as it was the one I most easily
understood and it seems to do the job. One thing, though, it turns out the
#pageno variable does not seem to work. I had to rename it to #1 to do the
trick. Even #p did not work. Do those variables have to be numbers? Here is
what worked in the end:
\setuppagenumbering[
alternative=doublesided,
location={header, margin},
style=bold,
command=\PageNumberCommand
]
\starttexdefinition PageNumberCommand #1
\doifoddpageelse
{\rightaligned{#1}}
{\leftaligned{#1}}
\stoptexdefinition
Thank you again.
Malte.

[NTG-context] Controlling Appearance of \inoutermargin
Hi, I have just changed one of my documents from single-page to double-page to be printed as a book. I have some margin remarks, that used to be on the left which I am now trying to move to the outer margin on odd and even pages (that is, left on even, right on odd pages). In doing so, I had to modify all of my \inmargin's to \inoutermargins (Please pull me up on this if this is not a good way of doing this; I found this in some forum, there does not seem to be a Wiki page about this command). As it turns out, I am no longer able to control the appearance of these \inoutermargins using my \setupinmargin command. I have been playing with different options, like \setupinmargin[outer][style=\slx, color=darkgray, stack=yes] or \setupinoutermargin[style=\slx, color=darkgray, stack=yes] but cannot get it to work. Is there any documentation about the \inoutermargins command? Any hints?

[NTG-context] Cumulating Numbered Lists
Hi all, I can easily \setupitemgroup to achieve the following: 1. ... a. ... 1. ... b. ... 1. ... 2. ... 2. ... a. ... 1. ... …but I need the numbers/letters to cumulate as follows: 1. ... 1a. ... 1a1. ... 1b. ... 1b1. ... 1b2. ... 2. ... 2a. ... 2a1. ...

[NTG-context] Suppressing Page Numbers
Hi,
Thank you again for all the great help, I have received here in recent weeks;
it is much appreciated.
I have page numbering setup in my layout.tex environment file, which I use for
all of our documents.
% Show the page number in the middle of the footer
\setuppagenumbering[
alternative=singlesided,
location={header, margin},
style=bold,
]
For a particular document, though, I don't want page numbers. Is there a way of
locally suppressing the page numbers while still importing (via environment)
the layout.tex file? I guess, what I am asking is, is there a way to override
the setuppagenumbering setup locally?
A workaround would be to have a second layout.tex file, just for this document,
but I much prefer not to.
Regards,
Malte.

Re: [NTG-context] Help with Long Titles
Wolfgang,
Thank you. That is very close.
Replace the line above with this block:
\startframed[frame=off,align=normal,offset=none,foregroundstyle=\tfc,foregroundcolor=darkgray]
\getvariable{titlepage}{title}
\stopframed
That left-aligns it; I need to right align it. Already tried align=right and
align=flushright, none of which worked. I am just guessing here as there does
not seem to be any documentation available on \startframed. How can I
right-align this?
Thank you.
Malte.

Hello,
I am using a the startsetups mechanism that defines a title page in my

There are two problems here:
1. I had not had any success with putting a newline into the title; it will

2. Assuming I found a way to do this, I would need to also find a way of
reducing the \blank[170mm] by the amount that the second line of the title
takes up to render the information down the bottom in roughly the same place.
If push comes to shove, I could create a second titlepage setup for two-line

way to position the information down the bottom absolute?

Add \setupcaption[prefix=yes] to your document do enable the chapter prefix for a floats or add \setupcaption[table][prefix=yes] to enable it only for table floats. I?ll take a look why the prefix isn?t enabled by default which should be the case (the value is set on the core but ignored).

\stoptabulate
However, I need one of these tables to split over adjacent pages, which
according to the documentation should be achievable with
\setuptabulate[split=yes]
However, that does not seem to work in connection with the \placetable line.
That is, if I put that last line in front of the block mentioned above, the
table does still not split across adjacent pages. I have to remove the
\placetable line for the \setuptabulate line to have any effect, except then I
loose my caption and can no longer cross-reference to table either.
Any clues?
Thank you,
Malte.

[NTG-context] Enabling PDF bookmarks creates links in red
Hello, I have been playing with the creation of PDF bookmarks and found this page here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Bookmarks_and_Headers So I have tried this (and a few variations of it): % Enable PDF bookmarks \setupinteraction[state=start] % Make chapter, section bookmarks visible when opening document \placebookmarks[chapter, section, subsection][chapter, section] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] The problem is that all of my cross-references (\in and \about) produce links (which is great) in bold and red, which is not great. I don't want my cross-references marked up in any way at all as I find that quite unappealing when printed. Can I turn that special mark-up off somehow and have normally formatted links instead?

[NTG-context] Line break in tables

[NTG-context] Divided cells and bullet points in tables
Hi, I'm trying to create a table with the following formatting: 1. The top left cell is divided in two by a diagonal line with separate text into each triangle 2. Another cell in the table body has a bulleted list I've had no success with the first. With the second I've tried using the \startitemize command. It generates the bullet points but places all the items on a single line and hence pushing the table wider than the page. I've also tried using \par or \newline but to no avail. I have been using tabulate for the table; is there another table library that might make this work? Any help would be much appreciated.

[NTG-context] Non-Printing PDFs with ConTeXt
Hi all, Is there a way I can get ConTeXt to produce PDFs that are not-printable? Just as a background to my question: This is not about copyright. Rather, I am using ConTeXt to produce quality process documents. The quality management system requires that all quality process documents be controlled, that is one must prevent folks from printing copies of their own that then keep floating around the place and cannot be retracted when a new version of the quality process document is issued. Hence, I am aiming for a paper-less scenario where everyone reads the documents on screen. Therefore, I would like to make printing impossible, or at least hard. The only one who should be able to print the document is the Document Manager; maybe the documents could be encrypted (PDF supports that, I believe), such that the Document Manager can print them knowing the password. So far, I have only seen Word and Acrobat Distiller being able to do this. Is there a way I can setup ConTeXt to do this? Or are there some command line tools, that can do that after the PDF has been produced? Any hints would be great. Thank you, Malte. ___ 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 ___
[NTG-context] Problem with \inmargin on \item lines
Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a problem with \inmargin{some text} in \itemized lists. I am
using them a lot in my documents, and it is kind of annoying. It appears that
if one uses the \inmargin macro just prior to the \item macro, the in-margin
text is typeset against the previous line, not the line with the \item. Minimal
example.
\starttext
\startitemize
\item This is just a normal completely innocent paragraph against which
one will be able to judge the amount of indentation of the next paragraph.
\inmargin{Duck}\item This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
\stopitemize
\stoptext
That seems fair enough and even makes sense on some level. If however, one
reverses the two macros, like so:
\item\inmargin{Duck} This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
the leading space just after the closing brace is actually printed. I take this
to be a bug, or is this by design? The only way I can around this is to not use
a space, like so:
\item\inmargin{Duck}This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment
But I don't find that to be a satisfying solution. After all I am using ConTeXt
because I am a bit pedantic about text, even the source code in this case.
Regards,
Malte.

[NTG-context] Sorting descriptions alphabetically
Hi all, I have a chapter with a bunch of definitions. I defined myself a description for that purpose, as in: \definedescription[definition][alternative=hanging, headstyle=bold, align=flushleft, style=normal, width=fit, margin=1cm] My definitions obviously come out in the order I defined them in the .tex file. I was just wondering whether there is some clever way to have generated in alphabetic order. I could obviously sort them myself in the .tex file, but if there was some way ConTeXt could handle that, that would be very convenient given the number I am dealing with.

Re: [NTG-context] Strange errors on using setupheader
Hi Wolfgang,
Thank you so much for that. It did work. And yes, I was wondering whether there
was a more elegant way of doing this. This way of setting and using variables
does not seem to be all that well documented; it's not in the ConTeXt Manual,
presumably because it is new, right?
I think I mostly worked it out, though, except for: What does this line mean:
set=\texsetup{titlepage}
Thank you again,
Malte.

Re: [NTG-context] Strange errors on using setupheader
Hi all, Hi Hans,
Thank you for the fix. Okay, so now I am on
ConTeXt ver: 2012.03.30 16:16 MKIV fmt: 2012.3.31 int: english/english
which does indeed fix the little problem I posted yesterday. However, I still
have one more issue. Again, I condensed it down to something very close to a
minimal example:
% Select A4 as the paper size
\setuppapersize[A4]
% A macro for the title page
\def\titlepage[#1][#2][#3][#4]{
\startstandardmakeup
\blank[50mm]
\rightaligned{\ss\tfd\bf\nohyphens{#1}}
\blank[2mm]\textrule[bottom]
\rightaligned{\ss{\tfc{\color[darkgray] {#2
\blank[170mm]
\ss\tfa\copyright\thinspace Some Company Pty Ltd \hfill #3 \par
\color[darkgray]\blank[small]
Commercial in Confidence \hfill Version #4
\stopstandardmakeup
}
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\titlepage[Company Name][The Plan][Dr Who, et al.][0.1]
\completecontent
\page \chapter{Purpose and Scope}
\section[]{Purpose}
This document should be read in conjunction with bla bla bla...
\stopfrontmatter
\stoptext
This results in
29 \stopfrontmatter
30 \stoptext
31
inserted text
}
to be read again
\endgroup
l.29 \stopfrontmatter
If I remove the line
\color[darkgray]\blank[small]
from the \titlepage macro all works, which I find somewhat unexpected.
Could you please have a look at this?
Thank you.
Malte.

[NTG-context] Strange errors on using setupheader
Hi again,
After I had some issues with \externalfigure, Hans suggested to me that I use a
newer version of ConTeXt. So, rather than using the latest current (which seems
to be from May 2011)
ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.6 int: english/english
I am not using the latest beta
ConTeXt ver: 2012.03.29 11:28 MKIV fmt: 2012.3.29 int: english/english
However, as it turns out, the document I am working on is no longer processed
without errors. I butchered my document to isolate the error and come up with a
(close to) minimal example:
% Use UTF encoding
\enableregime[utf]
% Set English as the language
\language[en]
% Select A4 as the paper size
\setuppapersize[A4]
% Setup the header...
\setupheadertexts[chapter][section]
\setupheader[leftwidth=.5\hsize, rightwidth=.4\hsize]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\completecontent
\chapter{Purpose and Scope}
\section[]{Purpose}
This document should be read in conjunction with bla bla bla...
\stopfrontmatter
\stoptext
I get the following error when processing with the aforementioned version:

)
\ctxcommand #1-\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1

\page_layouts_process_element_single_limited ...i

...

Strangely enough, all works well when I remove (or comment) the \setupheader
line. Is there anything strange I am doing here? Should work, right?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Malte.

Re: [NTG-context] Rotating externalfigure
Wolfgang,
Interesting. I was able to reproduce the problem with your verbatim minimal
example:
\starttext
\input knuth
\placefigure[left]{Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][frame=on, scale=500,

\input knuth

I have uploaded the result here:

The cow gets rotated but protrudes the frame at the top overlaying the text.
Just in case it is relevant, here is my context version:

By the way, your \index[ducks] didn't work for me the way I thought you

I have defined: % Setup itemised lists \setupitemize[1][packed][symbol=1] \setupitemize[2][packed][symbol=2] for one type and I would like to setup another type where the symbols and the indentation are different. Is there a mechanism for that? Something along the line of \setupitemizedlist[typeA][...] \setupitemizedlist[typeB][...] similar to \definedelimitedtext for example?

[NTG-context] Custom itemize Symbols
Hi all,
Is there a way to define your own itemize symbols? I would like a solid square,
as in symbol 8 (referring to Table 10.1 in the Context Manual, but solid/filled
whereas 8 is hollow.
I tried to declare my own bullet point, as in:
\def\squarebullet{\vrule height .9ex width .8ex depth -.1ex } % square bullet
and then tried to use it in the \startitemize command, but it appears that
command does not take commands as its first argument:
\startitemize[\squarebullet, packed]
\item foo
\item baz
...
\stopitemize
So here goes that idea. Other idea was to use \sym{\squarebullet}. That
actually works, however, the problem is that it needs to be specified for the
individual bullet point. I need something that can be specified in
\setupitemize, such that my writers get that symbol automatically without
having any control over it.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Malte

[NTG-context] Referencing a Document within the same Project
Hi all,
I am designing a document suite consisting of two dozen or so documents that
are all interrelated. I was wondering whether there is a way that I can define
a reference point for an entire document within a project and then refer to
that from another document, like
\document{global-definitions-document} % This is fictitious syntax
...in one document and then refer to that in another document:
For global definitions, please see \about{global-definitions-document}.
...or something along those lines.
Regards,
Malte.

[NTG-context] Color Lost when Using 'texexec' vs 'context'
Hi all, I am using some darkgray in my documents, as in \color[darkgray] foo... which was working out well as long as I was processing my documents with the 'context' command. I recently started using 'texexec' instead, as in texexec --pdf definitions-acronyms-and-abbreviations.tex (which, I understand is preferable) and strangely, all of my darkgray text is now rendered black. Any ideas why the command makes a difference and what to do about it? Regards, Malte. PS: Sorry, for one of my previous emails in which I replied to the full daily digest, which resulted in a very long email to everyone. Won't happen again. ___ 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] Line Wrapping/Hyphenation in Chapter/Section Headings
Hi Wolfgang, Use also the broad keyword for align which makes ConTeXt more tolerant to break the line with ragged text. That did the trick. Thank you so much.

Re: [NTG-context] Color Lost when Using 'texexec' vs 'context'
Mojca, Wolfgang, Thank you for explaining that. I had read about the two different versions MkII and MkIV, but did not realise that 'texexec' is the former while 'context' is the latter. How old was the manual that you were reading? I got that from the Context Manual (Context Manual (cont-eni).pdf), Section 1.4, which I downloaded quite recently from the website (I have been using Context for less than 2 months). It is dated November 2001, so quite old, you're right. What should I be reading instead? Is there something newer? The reason I switched to texexec was this (from the Context Manual: During the processing of itemizations the number of items is counted. This is the case with all versions. The next pass this information is used to determine the optimal location to start a new page. So do not despair when at the first parse your itemizations do not look the way you expected. When using TEXexec this is all taken care of. Is this still a problem with context or is this problem somehow solved with MkIV anyway? Thank you for all your help; this mailing-list proves very helpful to a novice like me. Regards, Malte.

Any ideas why the command makes a difference and what to do about it? You can either use ConTeXt MKII (with pdftex, invoked with texexec) or ConTeXt MKIV (with luatex, invoked with context). How old was the manual that you were reading? In MKII you need \setupcolors[state=start] to get the colors working. MKII is not really preferable, except when you are looking for slightly more stability or when you don't need some advanced features. It is more stable, older and uses pdftex instead of luatex. But it also lacks many nice features and bugs from ConTeXt MKIV :). ___ 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] ntg-context Digest, Vol 93, Issue 55
Wolfgang,
Use ?align={flushleft,nothyphenated}?.
You mean as in
\setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\ss\bf, alternative=inmargin, align={flushleft,
nothyphenated}]
I tried that and it has no effect. I also found this article here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/35686/avoid-hyphenation-in-chapter-title
...which suggests using
\setuphead[chapter][align={flushleft, nothyphenated, verytolerant}]
...but that makes no difference either. My chapter titles continue to run off
the page to the right. I am happy to post an example somewhere if that helps.
Thank you,
Malte.

[NTG-context] How to do coloured heads
Hello,
I am new to all of this. First of all, thank you to everyone involved for such
an awesome software package. I have been looking for something like this for a
while for technical documentation for software projects and had no idea this
even existed until... well, yesterday. So, I spent most of the day playing with
it.
However, I have not managed to work out how to get coloured heads. I am trying
to have my section heads in darkgray. So I tried
\setuphead[section][style=\tfb\ss\color[darkgray]]
which results in a processing error and
\setuphead[section][style=\tfb\ss{\color[darkgray]}]
which seems to process, but does just not do anything (I did not actually
expect that last one to work, but I got a bit desperate). While the manual is
well written and certain well laid out, it does not quite work for me as a
reference guide in that it does not seem to be complete. So a little help would
be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Malte.

[NTG-context] Copyright Symbol
Hi everyone, How do I get a copyright symbol in ConTeXt, you know the circle with the 'C' in the centre? I expected it to be \textcopyright as in LaTeX, but that does not seem to work. Rather than just telling me the answer, where would I look that up? Sooner or later I will need other symbols. The special characters listed in the manual are quite limited. Is there a list somewhere?
