Re: [NTG-context] Unexpected behaviour of enumeration in mkiv

Hi,
please have a look at the minimal example at the bottom. I am
typesetting theorems and lemmata which are numbered consecutively
within chapters in a book. I used the same code for a document
written in mkii, and I thought I could just reuse it in mkiv.
Obviously, there is something I am missing. Question: How do I get
the same output when compiling the following code with 'context' as
when compiled with 'texexec'.
When compiled with 'context', the chapter number is missing in the
numbering of theorems. Lemmas are not numbered at all.
~~~snip~~~
\setupenumerations
[title=yes,
style=normal,
list=all,
before={\blank[big]},
after={\blank[big]},
location=serried,
Change “location=serried” to “alternative=serried”.
width=broad,
distance=0.5em,
headstyle=bold,
titlestyle=bold,
way=bychapter,
conversion=numbers]
You have to change “conversion” to “numberconversion” but this isn’t
necessary because numbers are the default conversion format.
To have chapter numbers as part of the counter add “prefix=yes”.
\defineenumeration
[theorem]
[text=Theorem, listtext={Theorem }]
\defineenumeration
[lemma]
[text=Lemma, listtext={Lemma }, number=theorem]
To use the counter of another enumeration use “counter=theorem”, not
“name=theorem”.
Wolfgang
Thanks Wolfgang for the quick answer. I changed my code accordingly.
The prefix=yes option, though, does not entirely do as I expect it.
It adds the chapter+section number as a prefix to each theorem (and
lemma). As I have way=bychapter in my options, though, it doesn't
reset after a new section started (which is what I want!). The effect
is odd as you can see in the minimal example.
I only want to have the chapter number as a prefix. It's probably
simple? difficult?

[NTG-context] (critical edition) verses and margin data ranges in page
Hi Thomas,
I guess it might be interesting to have the following feature: a command
that prints the range of lines on the page.
\setupheadertexts[firstlineinpage--lastlineinpage]
\getmarking[chapter]
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
\dorecurse{200}{This is verse number \recurselevel.\\}
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext
I think this might be a command such as \getrangeinpage[linenumbering].
Also a similar feature would be useful for margin data (in critical
editions, margin data are mainly for pages of canonical editions).
In that case, the command could be something similar to:
\definemargindata[Olearius]
\getrangeinpage[Olearius]
Two examples in which these could make sense:
In any poetry edition (such as Homer’s works), verse ranges in page
headers are extremely helpful for readers.
For Plato or Aristotle, the Stephanus or Bekker pagination is important
to locate passages. Having also the range in the headers could be very
helpful to the reader.
In this case, the range should start with the first margin data in page
only if the page starts there. Otherwise, the last “open” margin data
(from previous page) should start the range in page.
I hope it helps,
Pablo

[NTG-context] (critical edition) counter range in page
Hi Thomas, after thinking about the issue I wrote in my last message, I guess that implementing a general method with any counter could be better. I mean, implement three commands that could be applied to any counter: \getrangeinpage: first--last counter in page. \getfirstinpage: first counter in page. \getlastinpage: last counter in page. With first in page, as I wrote in my previous message, I don’t mean the first that happens in page, if the page doesn’t begin with it, but the last opened in previous page.. To be able to get the first in page and last in page is important in cases where works are divided in books and chapters. Information in headers should contain both. I think that the general method is a better approach (although I know that margin data aren’t counters [maybe this should be implemented in a different way]).

[NTG-context] Space before chapters
Dear All,

Is there any way to set a bit of white space before my chapter title?
(1) I've thought that before={\blank[20mm]} should do the job. It works for
sections, but here I suspect it is ignored as my chapter start on a new
page.
(2) numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]} - this works as
expected, but only for numbered titles - I need it also for TOC and Preface.
(3) commandbefore={\blank[20mm]} - it inserts the space between the number
and title
I have no idea what else to try...
\setuphead[chapter][
alternative=middle,
%before={\blank[20mm]},
%commandbefore={\blank[20mm]},
numbercommand=\groupedcommand{\blank[20mm]}{\blank[4mm]},

Re: [NTG-context] EPUB woes
Keith, Maybe you should explore an XML format that can be transformed directly to epub. You'd also be able to write a style sheet with ConTeXt that would out put a PDF as well. I think TEI-Lite is a good starting point. Since you can make your own commands in ConTeXt, it will never be able to intelligently map all commands on to simple HTML.

There are HARDLY ANY provisions that a certified EPuB-READER has to implement any particular engine or features therein to display/render the information contain in the EPub-file/wrapper. right, and I'm not going to waste time on it till i have a decent ebook reader that behaves well The point you are missing is that the ereaders are behaving well. They are following the epub standard, and that to the letter of the standard. The problem is that the standard does not enforce any particular implementation. If you look at the slow progress of the standard that actually requires a full implementation of the HTML5 standard. That wait will very long. sure, and every time i see an epub novel i realize that for something like that one really can stick to rather dumb html ... the point is that one cannot expect context to output simple everywhere accepted html from complex rendered input ... I agree fully. But, Since there are those that wish to produce epubs aka ebooks, they should not be doing complex layout. One can always go from simple to complicated in needed, if there were commands dedicated to epub/ebooks/html. As I had pointed out in my last post below. Furthermore, ereaders are made by companies more interested in profits than spending a few Euros more to put decent HTML engines into their readers. Why they do not do that is beyond me! 3. Modify the way in which ConTeXt generates the XML files. Ideally, I should be able to write something like Would be nice if there where commands in ConTeXt or a module for defining what should go into the CSS and a mode epub where the ConTeXt commands are converted to suitible HTML5 structures that are suitiable for most ereaders. Features: 1) margins in percentages 2) font sizes based on em 3) a new file for every chapter optional for sections user defined Just a few. Lots more can be found in any decent documentation on writing ebooks. context outputs xml and as a bonus provides a css too ... one can always convert that xml to his/her ebooks liking .. maybe at some point the mtx-epub script will do that I always to like to look at programming as modular and would think that a epub/ebook module would be nice that maps there are commands for layingout ebooks. these commands can then be mapped back to standard context commands. in that case code in xml and either processit by context or transform it into something ebooks can render For some interested in producing a epub then can use the conventions for producing ebooks and ConTeXt can provide the math conversions to regular page dimensions used in PDFs for proofing or creating a printed version. It would also make the creation of EPubs from ConTeXt a simple parsing exercise. so far i had no projects where epub was needes so it has a low priority and i still read paper books (or when i would have ebooks i wouldn't need to render them) ... pdfs views quite well on e.g. nexus 7 devices and i assume the upcoming sony high res ebook will also do pdf well Well I did start the discussion. Just offer my 2 Euro cents worth. Especially, since it comes up every now and then. Furthermore, I there was a simple way to create epubs/books with ConTeXt more would use this feature. I have used up enough of or time. regards Keith. ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___ ___ 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 :
Re: [NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Textile
Bill,
With more recent version of pandoc, you can write filters for it in python.

To save possibly reinventing the wheel, has anyone written a filter for
processing Textile markup analogous to the filters for Markdown and
reStructuredText?
I tried using Pandoc to provide multiple formats of output (ConTeXt, EPUB,
MS Word) from a common source but Pandoc is excessively tied to Markdown
which does not understand the difference between emphasized text and italic
text and only outputs {\em word}, emword/em, \emph{word} and so forth
which means I have to go through every instance of the tag and change tags
where I want explicit italics as I use other typographical techniques
(small-caps or sans-serif or ...) for emphasis but some things (book
titles, ship names, foreign words/phrases et. al) are always set in italics
by convention. Pandoc continues its map everything to em ways even if
the input is textile or (X)HTML. There are some other neat advantages to
Textile as well such as local styling (CSS or \begin{environment}... or
\startenvironment ...)
I know a lot of computer languages now and I really don't want to learn
Lua or Haskell -- I'm retired! :)

[NTG-context] Linespacing in TOC
Dear All,
I'd like to tweak a default TOC linespacing...
I've 'invented' this:
\setupcombinedlist[content][list=chapter, alternative=c]
\starttext
\title{Table of Contents}
\setupinterlinespace[line=0.8ex] % too small, just for testing
\placecontent
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.75ex]
%\setupinterlinespace[reset]
\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Intro}text
text
text
\startfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\chapter{Chapter}text
\stopbodymatter
\startbackmatter
\chapter{Appendix}text
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
I cannot use simply the \completecontent command as the linespacing is
effective already between the title and the first entry line... so I am
splitting the title and the rest and set the linespacing just before list
rendering. Finally I am resetting the value manually. The 'reset' keyword
seems to be somehow ignored...
Are there better ways to tweak linespacing in TOC ?
Thanks, Jan

Is there any way to set a bit of white space before my chapter title?
(1) I've thought that before={\blank[20mm]} should do the job. It
works for sections, but here I suspect it is ignored as my chapter
start on a new page.
before={\blank[force,20mm]},
whitespace at the top of a page is discarded otherwise
I was hoping there is a simple option for this (any counterpart to XSL-FO
space-before.conditionality=retain property)... And it is :-)
Thanks for a quick response. I'll keep this in mind.
