Re: [NTG-context] Duplicate names in figure libraries
Hans et al, I'm afraid I don't know enough xml to understand this. How would something lik this change with your suggested strategy? figure filesec4twoa.png/file labelsec4twoa/label copyrightCollege of the Redwoods Mathematics Department/copyright comment/comment /figure Here's why I asked. You have a team working on Chapter 5, which has sections 1-7. Let's say each person volunteers to write a section. Unless they agree on a naming strategy beforehand, there could be duplicate names in the figure library files. And then you could have several chapters with more sections.

Re: [NTG-context] Align with comments
Hi David,
On Wed, 3 May 2006, David Arnold wrote:
I think a while back you provided an align example with comments, such as:
2x+3=5 Add -3 to both sides
2x+3-3=5-3 Simplify
2x=2 Divide both sides by 2
Etc.
Could you provide another sample of this for us?
Assuming that you want to align at the = in the equations, you can use
the following
\startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=4em]
\NC 2x + 3 \NC = 5 \NC\NC \text{Add -3 to both sides} \NR
\NC 2x + 3 - 3 \NC = 5 - 3 \NC\NC \text{Simplify} \NR
\NC 2x \NC = 2 \NC\NC \text{Divide both sides by 2} \NR
\stopalign \stopformula
If you use this kind of thing frequently, you can add some
syntax sugar.
\definemathalignment
[aligncomments]
[m=2,distance=4em]
\def\Comment#1\NR{\NC\NC\text{#1}\NR}
\startformula \startaligncomments
\NC 2x + 3 \NC = 5 \Comment Add -3 to both sides \NR
\NC 2x + 3 - 3 \NC = 5 - 3 \Comment Simplify \NR
\NC 2x \NC = 2 \Comment Divide both sides by 2 \NR
\stopaligncomments \stopformula
If you simply want to left align the equations, you can use
\definemathalignment
[aligncomments]
[n=1,align={left},m=2,distance=4em]
\def\Comment#1\NR{\NC\text{#1}\NR}
\startformula \startaligncomments
\NC 2x + 3 = 5 \Comment Add -3 to both sides \NR
\NC 2x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3 \Comment Simplify \NR
\NC 2x = 2 \Comment Divide both sides by 2 \NR
\stopaligncomments \stopformula

[NTG-context] Simple problem with quotation paragraph
I am having a simple problem I can't solve by reading the manuals.
I want to quote a fragment of a book which contains amongst others a
discussion (Plato's Protagoras to be precise). Normally, my book has no
whitespace between paragraphs and small indentation, but here I want a
small amount of whitespace between paragraphs and also narrower. I'd like
to setup some form of quotation paragraph style to use. I started out with
\startquotation but I do not want quotes, so now I use startnarrower, but
what I need is a paragraph style. Maybe another font (1pt smaller) is nice
too. And noindenting while the rest of the book uses indenting.
What I would like to do is something like
\startBookQuote
\stopBookQuote
and on the inside I get a small whitespace between paragraphs, no
indentation, a smaller font and a narrower textwidth.
My last try was:
\defineparagraphs[BookQuote][n=1,before={\indenting[never]\whitespace\startnarrower},after={\indenting[yes]\nowhitespace\stopnarrower}]
in my environment file, but that gave me page breaks as soon as
\startBookQuote was given and the quotes themselves do not receive page
breaks, hence a quote more than one page (I have a few) ends up being a
column of one page but just running from the page.
So, it seems \defineparagraphs is out, because I do not get page breaks
inside the quote. But what should I do?
Thanks in advance,
G
PS. any sight on a decent ConTeXt book, btw? The manuals and wiki seldomly
give me answers that work for me and often I find ConTeXt rather
counterintuitive, e.g. setupparagraphs for something that is a
table/column kind of thing, or confusing (\define vs \setup vs rest)

[NTG-context] ConTeXt frustrations (was: simple problem)
\defineparagraphs[BookQuote][n=1,before={\indenting[never]\whitespace\startnarrower},after={\indenting[yes]\nowhitespace\stopnarrower}]
in my environment file, but that gave me page breaks as soon as
\startBookQuote was given and the quotes themselves do not receive page
breaks, hence a quote more than one page (I have a few) ends up being a
column of one page but just running from the page.
So, it seems \defineparagraphs is out, because I do not get page breaks
inside the quote. But what should I do?
Another try was simpler, using plain TeX instead of ConTeXt's mechanisms,
but had another unexpected effect:
\def\startBookQuote{\indenting[never]\whitespace\startnarrower}
\def\stopBookQuote{\stopnarrower\indenting[yes]\nowhitespace}
The result of which is close to what I want, but after the first
\startBookQuote-\stopBookQuote pair the whitespace between paragraphs
stays, surprisingly enough (notwithstanding the \nowhitespace).
Si=o, I remove the entire whitespace/nowhitespace and find out that I
*still* get whitespace!? OK, I seem to need to remove
\setupwhitespace[small] from my environment file, where I had:
\setupwhitespace[small]
\nowhitespace
But, contrary to indentation, the \setupwhitespace not only sets it up, it
also turns it on. With indentation, I hat \setupindentation and did not
get that working until I turned it on with \indenting[yes]. In other
words, two opposite behaviours for likewise actions.
I find this kind of chaotic behaviour typical for my experience with
ConTeXt and I get pretty frustrated to the point I start thinking I should
have stayed with LaTeX and use the memoir class. Whatever LaTeX's
limitations in what it can do, it generally does what one expects. In my
own personal experience with ConTeXt I can definitely not say that.

Hello, Just for your information, dbcontext-0.1.0 is now released and available at http://dblatex.sf.net. It is another attempt to convert DocBook V4 documents to PDF by using ConTeXt, by using XSL stylesheets to translate from XML to context macros.

Does this work?
\definestartstop

I am using \tfx for a smaller font, but you can define your own for
getting something 1pt smaller.

Hi Gerben,
here is a solution that works with a local layout. For sure there are
better ways to reach your desired style, but I have no experience with
this stuff.

Yes, that's it. I wondered if it was possible a to specify a different

\startitemize[n][headstyle=bold]
\head Default head symbol (here a number)\par Body

Re: [NTG-context] defineenumeration and setupenumeration
WN wrote: I am a bit confused, the example setups the enumaration *remark* and specifies the location=top But on page 224 the command \setupenumerations is shown where one can also specify the location among others. What is the difference, reason or usage for doing this ? Much of the functionality of the \define and \setup commands is using shared code (for efficiency and QA). What is the proper Context way, should I define the location with \defineenumeration or with \setupenumerations ? Where ConTeXt provides both, the use of \setup version depends on your input file. I've had documents where the location changed based on the placement of the enumeration in the overall document (chapters with different layout styles), so I clearly needed a \setup version for that. If you do not need that, I suggest you just put it in the \define. Otherwise you have two macros where one is enough, and at one point you may become confused when a change somewhere in your environment does not work at all.
