You need the beta version but before you do this make a copy of your current 
version.

Even then don’t try to modify the macro in the file itself because the next 
update
changes this back to the old definition with the next update and you can never
say how long this would work because it’s a internal macro which could 
change/disappear.

Re: [NTG-context] Presets in collectors

2012-11-10 Thread Marco Patzer
2012-11-10 Wolfgang Schuster:

 The collector macros aren’t based on layers.

I don't know why I thought they were.

What is the correct way to place a collector mid aligend underneath another? I
manage to place them underneath left aligned using

location={right, bottom}, corner=bottom

and mid aligned as in the example below. However, I prefer not to adjust
the distance manually.

\setupbodyfont [12pt]

\definecollector
[mycollector]

\setcollector
[mycollector]
{\framed[align=normal]{\input khatt-en\par}}

%% this is the desired output, but without the manual adjustment
\setcollector
[mycollector]
[location=bottom,
 corner=middle,
 %% voffset=.5\layerheight,  %% no effect
 voffset=.8cm]
{\framed[width=5cm,align=normal]{\input ward\par}}

\flushcollector [mycollector]

\starttext\null\stoptext

Intuitively I would expect the following to work, but I guess the `middle`
syntax is not supported or I am using it in the wrong way.

\setcollector
[mycollector]
[corner={middle, bottom},
 location={middle, bottom}]
{\framed[width=5cm,align=normal]{\input ward\par}}

[NTG-context] Beginner question. Chapter heading in words

2012-11-10 Thread Andrew Dowell

Hi

I've some experience with Latex (written a thesis in it)
but have just started to try ConteXt as my son wants me to typeset a
story he's written as an A5 book, and ConteXt seems to do that more
easily than Latex.

However, he wants the chapter headings to be on the form:

  Chapter One

  This is the Name of the First Chapter



ie. with the chapter number in words, centred on the page, and then
the title of the chapter centred below it.  (By default it seems to do it
as a numeral and then the title on the the same line)

He'd also like the title of the book as the header for even pages
and the title of the chapter as a header for odd side pages.

I've looked through the manual but can't find obvious instructions
as to how to do this.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Andrew

I assume the OP was looking for a way to convert a counter to the
corresponding English word:

  \defineconversion
[words]
[One, Two, Three, Four, Five]

  \definecounter [mycount]
  \setupcounter  [mycount] [numberconversion=words]

  \starttext
\dorecurse{5}{%%
  \incrementcounter [mycount]
  \convertedcounter [mycount]}
  \stoptext

Maybe there is a conversion built-in that does this automatically
without having to define the words yourself.

 Given our interest in pdf production, perhaps we ought to be (more)

 acrobat and adobe reader remain the tools having the most widespread

It would certainly be nice to have an open-source PDF viewer
approaching Adove Reader's capabilities. I've never seen any moves in
this direction, though. The impression I have is that 99% of people
only need very basic PDF viewer functionality, and regard most of
Adobe Reader's features as bloat.

Personally I find this worrying: I'm using Adobe Reader 9 on Linux,
Adobe aren't going to release any newer Linux versions, and at some
point I will run into a feature I need which is not supported either
by AR9 or any open-source viewer.
