Dear syndicate,

Not sure if there is a canonical way to do numbered paragraphs. In the
following, I use subsections to mimic numbered paragraphs:

===section-intext.tex===
\setuphead[section][style=\bfa,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahblue]
\setuphead[subsection][style=\bf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahgreen,alternative=text,distance=0.28em]
\setuphead[subsubsection][style=\tf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahred,alternative=text,distance=0.28em]

\starttext
\startsection[title=Section 1]
\startsubsection
\input ward
\stopsubsection

\startsubsection[title=Paragraph 2]
\input ward
\stopsubsection

\startsubsection
\startparagraph
\input ward
\stopparagraph
\stopsubsection
\stopsection
\stoptext
==

See attached output.

In paragraphs 1 and 2, there is too much distance between the subsection
number (subsection number + title in paragraph 2) and between the text.
The distance parameter is not appropriate here, it is the distance  
*after*

the section head that needs adjustment (even if the text portion of the
head (i.e., the section title) is empty).

Question 1: How do we fix the post-head distance?


The parameter insidesection= helps:


\setupwhitespace[big]

\def\SPACE#1{#1\hskip2em\hbox{}}
\setuphead[section]
   [style=\bf,
after={\blank[big]},
before={\blank[big,medium]},
color=walayahgreen,
alternative=text,
insidesection=\hskip-1.2em]
% textcommand=\SPACE]
\setuphead[subsection]
   [style=\bf,
after={\blank[big]},
before={\blank[big,medium]},
color=walayahgreen,
alternative=text,
insidesection=\hskip-1.2em]
\setuphead[subsubsection]
   [style=\bf,
after={\blank[big]},
before={\blank[big,medium]},
color=walayahgreen,
alternative=text,
insidesection=\hskip-1.2em]

\define[1]\PARHEAD {{\bf{#1}}}

\starttext
\starttitle[title=Section 1]
\startsection[title=Paragraph 1]
\input ward
\stopsection

\startsection
\PARHEAD{Paragraph 2.} \input ward

\startparagraph
\input ward
\stopparagraph

\startsubsection
\input ward
\startsubsubsection
\input ward
\stopsubsubsection
\stopsubsection
\stopsection

\startsection
\input ward
\startsubsubsection
\input ward
\stopsubsubsection
\stopsection
\stoptitle
\stoptext


Paragraph 1 shows that we cannot use the normal title= mechanism and  
maintain consistent spacing.


Paragraph 2 does not use the \start|stopparagraph mechanism, but the  
succeeding non-numbered paragraph does.


CHALLENGES:

1. See the following:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wckt0zm0zfpx721/numbered-paragraphs-indent.pdf?dl=0

The first numbered paragraph is not indented, but the second onward is.  
How can we automate this?


2. See attached. Consider the following snippet:

\startsection
\input ward
\startsubsubsection
\input ward
\stopsubsubsection
\stopsection

The paragraph number comes out as 3, but the subsubparagraph as 1. What we  
want is


3 
3.01 

The '0' indicates that there is no subsection. Here is an example:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gy3e93x7jqt6ivx/numbered-paragraphs-indent-01.pdf?dl=0

How can we automate this?

Thanks in advance for any guidance and pointers.

Best wishes
Idris


Paragraph three shows that one apparently cannot mix this sectioning
approach with the \start-stopparagraph mechanism.

Question 2: Is there a way to mix \start-stopparagraph with the above
subsection approach to par numbering?

I suppose that as long as I maintain exactly one paragraph per  
subsection,

then structured output  (xml etc.) should look ok.

Question 3: Is there a wiser way to handle this kind of par numbering in
mkiv?

Thanks in advance!

Idris

Many thanks for your explanation, Jean-Pierre.

I have tried to set it up before, but with the wrong path to binaries.

I thought they were located in the ~/context/bin directory, when they
actually were located in the ~/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin directory.

Everything works now as expected.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Hi Arthur,

I opened an issue on this topic at GitHub, but I didn’t know there were
a mailing list.

I have just subscribed to the list, but it seems I have to wait for
moderation ;-).

I read in the wiki (at GitHub) that adding a script could be an option.
But this would be an option for me. Not for a newbie.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind to add the script in a computer for a friend.
But I would do that myself.

Otherwise, it doesn’t have to be dangerous, but it would be extremely
hard for people without previous experience.

>   I agree that TeXworks is probably on the best choices for newcomers.

On the top of the feature that TeXworks is newcomers-friendly, it has
also been designed with ConTeXt in mind.

One of the weirdest things in the TeX world can be summarized in a
single question: why do we say TeX when we only mean LaTeX?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] TeXworks or TeXItEasy as ConTeXt editors

2017-08-05 Thread Jean-Pierre Delange 
Hi Pablo,

I use to work (to compile) on ConTeXt documents only with TeXworks (on Linux 
and Windows). Then I guess you're much more able to work with TeXWork than me ! 
It's very useful and it allows double windows simultaneously : on left your ctx 
code, on right the pdf output.

You only have to configure two things : the path where texworks finds context 
executable (~/home/context/tex/texmf-linux32/bin or /.../linux64/bin, and the 
same for Microsoft Windows). And a to give a little parameter to TeXworks.
 
I am afraid that you have to read my French explanation here : 
https://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/ConTeXt#Installation_et_configuration_de_TeXWorks

But I translate the most important (point 3 of the link given above):
When TeXworks is open, go to "Typesetting/Composition"  within the "Edition 
=>Preferences" menu. 
The inferior table "Processing Tools", just create a new tool by clicking on 
"+" and write "ConTeXt MKIV". In the field "Program", give the path to 
"context.exe", the same given above. Inside the mask "Arguments" add 
"$fullname" AND THAT'S ALL ! (Now you are under TeXworks : you must have 
"ConTeXt MKIV" just beside the green arrow. If your compilation doesn't work 
maybe it is because you are trying to compile your *.tex file with another 
executable (pdftex, pdflatex, or anything else...).

Very good idea to build some Spanish documentation on ConTeXt !
Hope it may helps !
JP

Objet: [NTG-context] TeXworks or TeXItEasy as ConTeXt editors

Dear list,

I’m writing an introduction to ConTeXt in Spanish.

Before any new user can start compiling ConTeXt sources, I realize that
I have to explain how to configure an editor for ConTeXt.

Since I plan to deal with the latest beta from the ConTeXt Suite, I need
to explain how to deploy it.

I use Geany in Linux and Notepad++ in Windows. But they are too complex
for newbies. TeXworks seems the best option to start with (and to
explain to newcomers).

I compile my documents with the following commands:

   source ~/context/tex/setuptex && contextjit document.tex

I had never problems with that. But as soon as I started to test Qt
applications, I cannot use this.

I mean, the commands above don’t work either with TeXworks or TexitEasy.

Does anyone know how to make the previous commands work with TeXworks?

Setting paths is something I want to avoid, since it is potentially
dangerous for newbies.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

  Great initiative!

> Does anyone know how to make the previous commands work with TeXworks?

  Not off the top of my head; you’ll probably find more help on the
TeXworks list (http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texworks), I’m sure I’ve
seen this question discussed before.  I think it’s as simple as putting
the command in question in a small script file that you place in
TeXworks’ configuration directory.

  I agree that TeXworks is probably on the best choices for newcomers.

  It really shouldn’t be necessary.

Best,

Arthur
