[NTG-context] correct vertical alignment in ToC
A quick look at the attached pdf extract from my current Table of
Contents will demonstrate the problem. I need authors names, chapter
titles and/or date range to line up correctly underneath each other, but
because of the definitions I am working with (see below how the current
result has been acheived) I do not know how to get these precise margin
(I presume?) distances.
So, for example, the author for the Preface needs to line up directly
under the author for the Foreword. And the title for Chapters One/Two
and the date range for Chapter Three likewise. The 'Context' item is a
\section and I have got that more or less to line up by using an \hspace
definition, but I know that using two very different definitions is
likely to cause problems. (Alternatively, they could all line up under
the title for Chapter One, so a bit further in. What *has to happen* is
that they all line up accurately under each other, whichever solution I
use).
My real problem is that I do not know how get these specific distances
from the left-hand side using the definitions I have. If I knew how to
get, say, 3cm in from the margin for Chapter authors/titles/date ranges
(given the definition below) and section authors (given its definition
below), I could solve this problem, but everything I have tried does not
seem to work. Wolfgang had given me the ChapterListCommand definition,
and I think Hraban the SectionTocentry:
(1) CHAPTERLISTCOMMAND
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand
{\hbox\bgroup
\hbox to 2.5cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
\vtop\bgroup
\hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-2.5cm\relax
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}
{{\structurelistuservariable{year}}\crlf}%
\currentlistentrytitle % title
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}
{\crlf{\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
\hfill\currentlistentrypagenumber % pagenumber
\egroup
\egroup}
Is there somewhere in here that I can specify my distances other than
the \hbox 2.5cm? Note that I obviously also have (e.g. for the Preface,
but I have others for Foreword, etc.):
\setuplist
[preface]
[label=preface,
alternative=command,
command=\ChapterListCommand]
(2) SECTIONTOCENTRY
\definehspace[twoem][2.5 em]
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\hspace[twoem]% title
\structurelistuservariable{author}%
}
\setuplist[section][
textcommand=\SectionTocEntry,
margin=.5cm]
The [twoem] definition (in fact it is 2.5 em) was how I got the
'Context' author to roughly line up under the other items, but I have
noticed that in some repetitions of this section, they do not line up
exactly even so.
Hope somebody can help - in the end I suppose I can open it in a PDF
editing program and shift items under each other, but I want to achieve
the correct result using ConTeXt, understandably.

Re: [NTG-context] Unwanted whitespace at beginning of document
Of old I have found the wolf fence tactics useful: Put for example an X at the beginning of a suspected section and somewhat further a Y. OIf they bracket the culprit the offending space will be between them. Otherwise narrow the fence. dr.

I don't seem quite able to put it all together, forgive the question.
I have a 'Bookman' font setup, pretty vanilla:
\definetypeface [Bookman] [rm] [serif] [bonum] [sl=name:unituscndboldoblique]
\definetypeface [Bookman] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default]
\definetypeface [Bookman] [ss] [sans] [unitus] [default]
\definetypeface [Bookman] [mm] [math] [modern] [default]
(Unitus is the fontsite 500 'Univers' substitute, works fine)
Now, the built-in gyre bonum font doesn't have a slanted/oblique variant, so if
I have Bookman as my main body
font, \sl produces (unsurprisingly) the same result as \it,
TexGyreBonum-Italic. If I want \sl to summon
Latin Modern for the variant, I have tried variations on
\definetypeface [Bookman] [rm] [serif] [bonum] [sl=file:Latin Modern Roman
Slanted]
but to no avail — not helped by the fact that the \definetypeface contextgarden
page doesn't have any pointer to just what that fifth
argument can contain.
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definetypeface
How do I accomplish this?
Use \definefontfamily which is missing in your example.
\definefontfamily [Bookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
[sl=features:{*,slanted},
bs=features:{*,slanted}]
\definetypeface [Bookman] [mm] [math] [modern] [default]
\setupbodyfont [Bookman]
\starttext
\tf upright \it italic \sl slanted \bf bold \bi bolditalic \bs boldslanted
\stoptext
Wolfgang
Except that this does not work, because, as I said, the Gyre Bonum font has no
builtin slanted version.
Have you even taken a look at the output of my example?
So, I want to use some other font (like Latin Modern) for a substitute for \sl .
I still think my version looks better (even with bold Latin Modern).
\definefontfamily [slantedbookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
[sl={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}},
bs={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}}]
\definefontfamily [modernbookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
[sl={file:lmromanslant10-regular},
bs={file:lmromanslant10-bold}]
% \definefontfamily [modernbookman] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
% [sl={file:lmromanslant10-regular,features:{*,boldened}},
%bs={file:lmromanslant10-bold,features:{*,boldened}}]
\starttext
\setupbodyfont [slantedbookman]
\it italic \sl slanted \bi bolditalic \bs boldslanted
\setupbodyfont [modernbookman]
\it italic \sl slanted \bi bolditalic \bs boldslanted
\stoptext
