Re: [NTG-context] new units
If you are going to introduce new units, you should at least include the Potrzebie, invented by teenager Donald Knuth and published in the humor magazine Mad Magazine #33. The system is based on the thickness of Mad Magazine #26, equal to 2.2633484517438173216473 mm. See the Wikipedia entry for 'potrzebie' for more information, or search for suitable images. Honestly, I don't know how Knuth resisted putting this in plain TeX. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Numbered Itemlist With Interruption
I am trying to have two numbered itemizations, with a paragraph in between,
such that the second list starts where the first left off, without having to
manually calculate the new start point. The following does not work, and I do
not understand why.
Mike
\starttext
\definecounter[mynumber][]
\startitemize[n]
\item The first item.
\item The second item
\item Item number \currentitemnumber{}, the last one.
\setcounter[mynumber][\currentitemnumber]
\stopitemize
The \type{\getnumber[mynumber]} value is \getnumber[mynumber].
\incrementcounter[mynumber]
And now the big finish, start at \getnumber[mynumber]:
\startitemize[n][start=\getnumber[mynumber]] % WHY DOES THIS FAIL?
\item Picking up where we left off.
\item And all is well.

Done!

[NTG-context] If a Font Has Ligature Glyphs But No Feature?
I downloaded something that purports to be Century Expanded from fontsgeek.com. Although the font has fi and fl ligature glyphs, it does not have a ligature font feature and ConTeXt does not use those glyphs.

Re: [NTG-context] Full-page Figure?
Almost there. But if I add \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]
to the example, there is a blank page before the makeup page, and an unnumbered
blank page after. If I add doublesided=no to the
\setupmakeup options, the unnumbered blank page is not there, but there is
still a blank page before. It is seemingly forcing
a right-hand page for some reason I do not understand.

[NTG-context] Full-page Figure?
I want to have a float (illustration for fiction, with caption) that takes up just one page, irrespective of the size of the image in the figure. This can be done with a \startmakeup, but makeup pages do not float, as near as I can tell; they interrupt the text (leaving a partly blank page); and of course they will not include headers and footers. And a float with [page] will start the figure on a new page as desired, but if the image is too small, other text will end up on the page, which is not the desired result. I want to vertically (and horizontally) center the figure on the page, with no other content but glue, in the main text block. Headers and footers should appear as normal. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

[NTG-context] Odd Font Behavior in startstop Group

blockquote revert to the gyreschola body font of the main text; but this only
happens if there is an earlier blockquote with no style changes. This is with:
$ context --version

When \setupcolors is removed, both pdfTeX and XeTeX also produce
the correct result.
This sounds like a bug to me (and took me forever to isolate
\setupcolors - of all things! - as the culprit).

[NTG-context] Arranging into Signatures?
(I am still using mkii, which I suspect may matter in this case) I am able to produce rather nice booklets on US Letter paper, printing double-sided two-up pages that fold into a booklet and using texexec --arrange to make it work properly. For documents longer than about 32 pages, it isn't really practical to fold in half. What would y'all recommend if I want to arrange the pages into signatures, each containing about 32 pages, that can then be somehow bound together? An external PDF rearranger might be an option, I suppose. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Referencing Itemized Items?
Is there some way to set up a reference tag so that I can refer to a particular item in a list, e.g., something vaguely like: You must do the following steps: \startitemize[n] \item Buy the ingredients \item Cook the food \item [??] Put out the fire \stopitemize Note that Step \in[?] is optional for experienced chefs. It looks like there are mechanisms to support this in the tex code, but I don't know how to use them. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
