Re: [NTG-context] Installing VSCode extension?
Thanks again, I've fiddled with SciTE, but when I attempted to compile a context file, I was told that "texexec" wasn't in my path, so somehow, somewhere, I must have picked up an old version of the compile command. Also, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of getting SciTE to use a monospaced font. I've fiddled with the customization files to no avail whatsoever. I think I have Atom already, but surely there should be some easy way of getting other text editors working?

Re: [NTG-context] Installing VSCode extension?
Thank you very much, but in fact that script file "vscode-context.cmd" really just contains the same command for installing extensions as I quoted above - and so produces the same errors. Maybe I'll go back to trying SciTe - I gave it a bit of a go, but wasn't successful. Of all the information on the context-wiki, and the Pragma webpage - where would I go to find the most up-to-date information about configuring an editor to work with ConTeXt in Windows?

[NTG-context] Installing VSCode extension?
I am installing the Windows version of ConTeXt, which comes with a VSCode extension, in \tex\texmf-context\context\data\vscode\extensions with instructions to run (from within the VSCode terminal): code -- extensions-dir -- install-extension context The trouble is that the current ConTeXt installation (as of 65 minutes ago), doesn't seem to contain an extension in the format that VSCode understands. Running that command produces the errors: Installing extensions... Extension 'context' not found. Make sure you use the full extension ID, including the publisher, e.g.: ms-dotnettools.csharp Failed Installing Extensions: context: For what it's worth, I'm running VSCode 1.46.0.

Re: [NTG-context] Converting from LaTeX for PDF accessibility tagging?
Thank you very much - I think the problem was with a LaTeX "align" environment which pandoc translated into a setting which ConTeXt didn't recognize. These equations were monsters, so I'll try with simpler equations to give you an idea. But in fact what you say makes perfect sense, and I'll go back and read through the mathematics document again, and more closely this time! (For matrices and arrays I still prefer the neat LaTeX implementation, but maybe that's simply my general unfamiliarity with ConTeXt.) Thanks again!

[NTG-context] Converting from LaTeX for PDF accessibility tagging?
Hello, I tried ConTeXt a few years ago, then gave up on it because of its wordiness and verbosity. The 2006 article on creating AMSTeX output in ConTeXt at https://www.ntg.nl/maps/34/06.pdf shows exactly what I mean: the LaTeX commands are small and neat; the ConTeXt commands are not. However, I need now to use ConTeXt for accessibility tagging, so I'm prepared to give it another try. And this means converting some LaTeX documents into ConTeXt. Is there a better way than using pandoc? I ran a LaTeX document through pandoc, but the result is certainly not fully "ConTeXt compliant", and generates errors instead of compiling. I can get easily lost on the ConTeXt site: the documentation is there in plenty, but seems hard to search. The main problem for me is mathematics and alignment: not just for equations, but for matrices and arrays. What I'd love - if it exists - is a document showing how to rewrite LaTeX into ConTeXt. Something like the above document, which is now 14 years old. I also notice that much of the contextgarden wiki is outdated. For example, on the use of ConTeXt in MikTeX, we read "As of end of June 2011 MikTeX is still (or again) non-functional." I'm aware that all of this is the work of dedicated and unpaid volunteers, so this is not a complaint! Just an observation. Anyway, as I say, my main issues are converting LaTeX into ConTeXt. and dealing with mathematics. Any pointers would be gratefully received!

Re: [NTG-context] A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment
Arrgh: more problems. I've downloaded and installed context standalone
(version 2013.02.26 00:17). Now when I run context I get an error (for the
first time ever) when it reaches a chapter heading:
l.1 ...[ch:this]{My first chapter}
? h
The lua interpreter ran into a problem, so the
remainder of this lua chunk will be ignored.
I have the following setups:
\def\chap#1#2{\vbox{\darkgreen Chapter
#1\crlf\framed[frame=off,topframe=on]{#2}}}
\def\uchap#1#2{#2}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\chap,style=bfd,after={\blank[1cm]},textcolor=darkgreen,numbercolor=darkgreen]
None of this has ever given me any problems before. I also experimented by
removing the entire context tree and reinstalling the stable version - only
to get the same error. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alasdair

I'll try to sort out a minimal example; unfortunately neither of those

In the meantime, here's some more info from the log file:

Re: [NTG-context] A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment
I think I might completely uninstall my current TeXlive (2011) and install the newest one from CTAN, as you recommend. I also run into problems when I want to run both ConTeXt and plain TeX or LaTeX: I was using TeX on some old files yesterday, and because my path was set up to reference the /opt/context tree before the /usr/share/texmf tree, TeX kept giving errors. So I needed to fiddle with my path first. (One day I'll convert my TeX files to ConTeXt, but that requires more time than I have right now.) Thanks, everybody!

[NTG-context] A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment
So I've come back to using ConTeXt after a year away from it (publishers
preferring LaTeX, y'know), and in revising some student notes I'm getting
errors which seem new.
For a collection of overheads, I've set up
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em={\slanted\color[red]}]
However, when I run context on my files, a command such as {\em elephant}
produces:
l.3 The {\em

No. I tested some versions between 2011.11.29 23:11 and 2013.02.26

\definehighlight is nothing which was recent added.

You cannot update, you can try this instead of \definehighlight:

[NTG-context] A bibliography difficulty
In my list of references, I can't get the author or title (of journal
article) to print. In my .tex file, I have the following lines:
\usemodule[bib]
\setuppublications[alternative=ams,refcommand=num,numbering=yes]
and in my .bbl file the (so far) only reference is:
\startpublication[k=birn06,
t=article,
a=D.~Birnbache,
y=1999]
\author{Dieter}{}{Birnbache}
\title{The Socratic method in teaching medical ethics: Potentials and
limitations}
\pubyear{1999}
\journal{Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy}
\volume{2}
\issue{3}
\pages{219-224}
\stoppublication
However, when I typeset the file, the reference list consists of
[1] , Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 2, 219 (1999).
I'm a little confused about all the variables, commands and parameters. So
- first, what am I doing wrong? Second, are there somewhere out there some
example files of bibliography usage (I learn best by seeing what other
people have done, and adapting that to my own ends)? Third: can I include
the references in the body of the .tex file (as you can do with LaTeX and
the thebibliography environment)?
Thanks,
Alasdair

[NTG-context] Style file for iPad?
If this has been asked before, my apologies. Is there a style file for formatting PDFs from ConTeXt for reading on an iPad? So far I've just used \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[backspace=20mm, width=160mm, topspace=20mm, top=0mm, header=0mm, footer=10mm, bottomspace=20mm,bottom=0mm, textheight=250mm] which works fine - for printing - but isn't optimized for the iPad. If anybody has any suggestions or examples, I'd be very grateful of them!

Re: [NTG-context] \em producing red text?
I discovered this by hunting through font-ini.mkii:
\setupbodyfontenvironment [default] [em={\slanted\color[red]}]
Seems to work well. You see, I want to use the same ConTeXt files for two
purposes: to create a set of printable notes (without colour) and to make a
set of displayable onscreen notes (with colour). This means that {\em this
text} appears slanted in the printed notes, and slanted and red onscreen.
Thanks very much!

Re: [NTG-context] Turning off special chapter headings
Thanks for your suggestion, but it didn't seem to work. I just discovered
the answer myself and that was to create a new chapter command:
\def\uchap#1#2{#2}
and then follow as per the wiki:
\definehead[ans][chapter]
\setuphead[ans][command=\uchap,number=no]
\definecombinedlist[content][ans,chapter,section]
\setuplist[ans][headnumber=no]
Then finally
\ans{Answers to Exercises}

[NTG-context] Unnumbered chapter in table of contents?
Hello,
For my student notes, there are ten numbered chapters, and one unnumbered
(Answers to Exercises). I want all of these to appear in the table of
contents. So:
1. First Chapter
2. Second chapter
10. Tenth Chapter
Answers to Exercises
I've set up the chapters with
\def\chap#1#2{\vbox{Chapter #1\crlf\framed[frame=off,topframe=on]{#2}}}
\setuphead[chapter][
command=\chap,
style=bfd,
after={\blank[1cm]},
]
However, I don't want this heading on the exercises; just the title.
How can I easily achieve all of this? I've tried with
\title[Answers to Exercises]
and
\writetolist[content]{}{Answers to Exercises}
but these don't seem to work.
Thanks,
Alasdair

Re: [NTG-context] Increment an item number?
Thanks for the answers. I did in fact know about \incrementnumber, but I
couldn't find any information about the counter. Where would I find such
information, aside from asking on this mailgroup?
As for identifying each question and referring to it: that is an excellent
solution, but in fact I have only rarely to leave out an answer, and the
small amount of bookkeeping required is not at all onerous.
Thanks again,
Alasdair

Just a hint: however you do it, I think this is not the best approach. you
write:
I'm typing out solutions to questions in some student notes, and the
missing item is a question for which a written solution is not necessary.
If this is a recurrent task, i.e. if you regularly make up student
problems and then typeset the solutions, this approach is inefficient
because you're doing the book keeping yourself. If, for example, you decide
to delete one of the questions without written solution, you will have to
delete the \incrementnumber as well. It may be better if you let ConTeXt do
the book keeping: give every question a unique identitfier like so
\startitem[p:1:2]
Problem?
\stopitem
and then typeset the solutions by referring back to this identifier:
\sym{\in[p:1:2]}
That way, the numbers in problems and solutions will always be correct,
even if you rearrange etc. (I often typeset such exercise stylesheets, and
after many years, that's my approach today.)

When you use \tfe only for the title of the book there is a simple method

[NTG-context] Some more ToC questions
Thanks to the great expertise of folk on this mailgroup, I have my chapter
headings set so that each one comes out as
Chapter n
Name of Chapter
However, I have a few more questions. First: if I use completecontent to
display the contents, how can I have the Contents title display without my
Chapter line? That is, is there a way of turning off my chapter command
temporarily? (I've found that title doesn't work here: If I use
\title{Contents} \placecontent I still get a Chapter line.)
Second: I'm writing out a book of student notes, and each chapter ends with
a set of exercises. I'd like these exercises to be typeset as unnumbered
sections (subjects), and appear so in the ToC. Like:
4.4 Second last section
4.5 Last section
Exercises
What is the best way of doing this (MkII)? I've tried
\definehead[exercise][section]
\setuphead[exercise][number=no]
\setuplist[exercise][headnumber=no]
but that doesn't work on its own, and when paired with
\definecombinedlist[content][exercise,chapter,section] wipes out the
contents completely.
Any advice (or even pointers to a web page) would be most welcome.
Thanks,

[NTG-context] Question about chapter headings
I'm trying to set up a chapter heading which looks like this:
Chapter 4
This is the fourth chapter
That is, there are two lines, one of which says Chapter followed by its
number, and the next which is the chapter title. What is the easiest way to
do this? I've tried
\def\chap#1#2{Chapter #1\crlf #2}
\setuphead[chapter][
command=\chap,
style=bfc,
after={\blank[1cm]},
]
But this doesn't work (and nor do many other variations in the chap
command). I'm a bit stymied here - and I'd welcome some advice.
Thanks,
Alasdair

These are typeset with

\NC (b) \NC %

\NC x\NC +\NC 3y\NC +\NC 3z\NC =\NC -4\NR
\NC x\NC +\NC 4y\NC +\NC 5z\NC =\NC -5\NR
\NC 2x\NC +\NC 4y\NC +\NC 3z\NC =\NC -5\NR
\stopmathalignment

Thanks, the framed bit is fine, except that the base of the frame is aligned

math alignment is a display math environment, and must be inside a
\startformula ... \stopformula.
Two comments:
1. You know about \definemathalignment, right?
2. I think that this effect can be obtained more easily using
\startitemize[two,columns,a]
\item ...
\item ..
\stopitemize
but you might need to insert a negative \vskip (or \blank) to get matrix to
align with the item symbol.

You can't be serious ;-). Do you really think one should enter all

13?
You can't be serious ;) Do you really think that one should manually
increment a counter. What's next: using {\bfa Some title} for section
titles?'
More seriously, if there is a logic behind such a counter,
Well I have long stopped to wonder why people sometimes needs
holes in a numbered list. It sometimes happens. Perhaps the OP
want to make a list of name of occupants of houses where some
numbers haven't yet been assigned.
then you can use:
\defineconversion[fancy][1,2,5,6,8]
This is ok if the complete list is not too long and when you know
which numbers the holes should have, but I would suspect that
Alasdair want to be able to increment somewhere the actual counter
by 1 or 2 without having to check the actual number first.
There is no interface to increment the counter by arbitrary amount, but
you can define your own interface to structures.counters.add:
\unprotected
\def\addtostructurecounter [#1]#2{\ctxlua{structures.counters.add
(\@@thestructurecounter{#1},1,#2)}}
and then use
\addtostructurecounter[\currentitemgroupcounter]{2}
I would say that's what Alasdair wants.

[NTG-context] Trouble with columns
I was setting up a test for my students, consisting of one page (A4
landscape), three columns. Each column consisted of a question, below which
there was an empty frame in which to write the answer. The layout then was
something like
--
\startcolumns[n=3]
\startitemize[n]
\item First question
\framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{}
\column
\item Second question
\framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{}
\column
\item Third question
\framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{}
\stopitemize
\stopcolumns
--
All well and good - except! the second \column command pushed the third
column onto a second page. However without that \column, no matter what
parameters I gave the page layout, the third question text would appear at
the bottom of the second column. I ended up getting around this by putting
a \vskip3cm in place of the second \column. This worked, but seems like
an ugly workaround.
What's going on here - and what am I doing wrong?

Re: [NTG-context] Ideas for restructuring the ConTeXt garden?
Speaking as a raw ConTeXt beginner, I would find it very helpful to have a library of different styles: LaTeX, journal, conference and book styles. Although all the information is probably there, it is very scattered around though manuals, the wiki, and other documents, and so is in consequence not always easy to find. cheers, Alasdair On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 7:34 AM, Aditya Mahajan adit...@umich.edu wrote: On Sat, 12 Mar 2011, Henry House wrote: Procházka Lukáš wrote: [...] 5) how to better promote context to new/latex users? For LaTeX incomers: it would be good to provide a sample setup (module?) which would make Ctx generated .pdf looking very closely to that been generated by LaTeX. Now, if you see a .pdf document and you are familiar with LaTeX, you recognize immediately whether or not it was generated by LaTeX (Word's signature is also unmatchable). I don't think that we should try to copy that style. The perfect feature of ConTeXt is that all these features may be systematically altered (often [almost] impossible in LaTeX) but you must search enough and study (and maybe ask the forum) to get the result which would fulfil your aesthetic requirements. I strongly agree that sample set-up code (ideally well-commented so that it also serves as a tutorial of sorts) to reproduce the style of LaTeX would be helpful. A better idea will be to show how to create ConTeXt style files for well defined styles e.g., style for some journal, say AMS or IEEE, or even the style of LaTeX (if someone can point out its exact specification) The appearance of LaTeX documents isn't perfect but it produces reasonably high-quality results suitable for complex technical documents right out of the box of the box without any tweaking, whereas ConTeXt requires (at least it did for me) some trouble to set it up for the first time. To some extent this is not because of the merit of the LaTeX design itself but the fact that it is familiar and therefore highly readable to someone used to reading it. It is also the point of departure for a LaTeX user wanting to convert to using ConTeXt; hence, i would imagine many such people would prefer to tweak a LaTeX-like document appearance to better suit their needs rather than starting with something quite different. Certainly, this was the case for me; being basically satisfied with my LaTeX documents but wanting more control and the option to use the advanced features of ConTeXt. Having sample set-up code that emulated LaTeX would have eased the initial transition for me. I agree, partially. One of the difficulties in getting a good design with ConTeXt is that you should know what a good design is! It you have a pre-specified style guideline, then it is easy to reproduce it in ConTeXt. If not, you can be stuck up experimenting whether you the space above a section be twice as big the space below it or the other way round.

Fonts and colors are unrelated properties (and always will be in context).
The way to go is abstraction:
\definestartstop[important][color=red,style=bold]
test {\important test} or \important{test} test ...

Re: [NTG-context] Itemize not breaking across pages?
Thank you - that works fine; especially the first, in which the problems
read in order across, rather than down in columns.
cheers,

Re: [NTG-context] Itemize not breaking across pages?
The trouble arises when I put my tables into narrower, framedtext so as to
be able to force proper indentation:
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}{\item This is a test
\startnarrower[left]
\startframedtext[frame=off,offset=overlay]
\starttables[|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|]
\NC (a) \NC Problem 1
\NC (b) \NC Problem 2
\NC (c) \NC Problem 3
\NC (d) \NC Problem 4 \NC\NR
\noalign{\blank[3mm]}
\NC (e) \NC Problem 5
\NC (f) \NC Problem 6
\NC (g) \NC Problem 7
\NC (h) \NC Problem 8 \NC\NR
\stoptables
\stopframedtext
\stopnarrower}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
On the other hand, the file:
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}{\item This is a test
\starttables[|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|]
\NC (a) \NC Problem 1
\NC (b) \NC Problem 2
\NC (c) \NC Problem 3
\NC (d) \NC Problem 4 \NC\NR
\noalign{\blank[3mm]}
\NC (e) \NC Problem 5
\NC (f) \NC Problem 6
\NC (g) \NC Problem 7
\NC (h) \NC Problem 8 \NC\NR
\stoptables}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
breaks across pages properly, but the tables aren't properly aligned at the
left.
cheers,

[NTG-context] Itemize not breaking across pages?
I am setting up notes and exercises for my students. Each set of exercises is in an itemize environment, and each \item consists of a table of problems. The trouble is, the itemize doesn't break across pages - I have to put manual page breaks in. How can I encourage automatic page-breaks?
