I am finalizing my semi-autogenerated e-book and i ran into three issues:

1) its impossible to place table of content after the content itself. 
It simply doesnt display without any trace in log.
2) i am triying to use Antykwa Torunska with "\definetypeface 
[antykwa] [rm] [serif] [antykwa-torunska] [default] [encoding=ec]", 
but it complaint for misssing typescript. Is there some working way to 
install it? (Using minimals)

Use

\definetypeface [antykwa] [rm] [serif] [antykwa] [default]

to set the font.
3) is there some trick to protect stanzas of poems against pagebreak 
in the middle of stanza? Or there are some usefult tips/modules when 
typeseting poetry in Context?

You can use the lines environment with the packed option.

 begin example
\definetypeface [antykwa] [rm] [serif] [antykwa] [default]

\setupbodyfont[antykwa]

\setuplines[option=packed,inbetween={\blank[line,preference]}]

\setuppapersize[A6]

\showframe

\starttext

\subsection{Co mě tak láká?}

\startlines
A ty se ptáš,
co mě tak láka, na tobě?
Odpoveď máš
tady i když v snivé podobě

Dostal jsem ochutnat
z poháru štěstí.
Je to jak tancovat
na poušti v dešti.

Rychle mi však došlo,
že byl to jen sen
Nad pouští slunce vyšlo
a zase další horký den.

Tak buď mi oázou,
do které toužím jít.
Pouští mé kroky jdou,
mám žízeň, musím pít.

I kdybys byla jen fata morgána,
tak dáváš mi směr.
Oslovit můžu pak, to slunce nad náma:
Jen do mě si per!

[NTG-context] footnote coloring

[dr. Hans van der Meer]

I want to color all elements of a footnote, but I cannot find how to do this.Minimal example:\def\rednumber#1{\color[red]{#1}}\starttext\setupfootnotes[textcolor=red,numbercommand=\rednumber,foregroundcolor=red]This text\footnote{the footnote} contains a footnote.\stoptextThe footnotenumber in the text is the only element that gets colored because of the [textcolor=red] parameter setting.In the command reference it is [numbercommand=\rednumber]. Shouldn't that have made the color of the footnotenumber below?Since \setupfootnotes inherits from setupframed I expected [foregroundcolor=red] to do the trick for the content of the footnote, but it doesn't.How to?Hans van der Meer

[NTG-context] framed broken?

[dr. Hans van der Meer]

I tried to reproduce a framed example from the context-reference:



Input taken from this example by copying the lines from the reference document:
\starttext
\framed
[width=.2\hsize,height=3cm]
{\cbox to 2.5cm{\hsize2.5cm just\\in the\\middle}}
\stoptext

result is wrong in comparison with the middle \cbox example. The text is not 
centered.
Is framed at fault here?

Hi Hans,

this setup works fine in MkIV:

  \setupnote[footnote][textcolor=blue]

  \setupnotation[footnote][numbercommand={\color[red]}, color=green]


I hope it helps,

Hi Mikoláš,

\placecontent[criterium=previous] is the right command.

I use MkIV and this works (no typescripts involved):

   \definefontfamily [antykwa] [rm] [Antykwa Torunska]

   \definefontfamily [iwona] [rm] [Iwona]

   \setupbodyfont[iwona,12pt]

   \setuphead[section]  [style=\tfc\antykwa]

   \setuphead[subsection]   [style=\tfb\antykwa, page=yes]


BTW, you define section and subsection heads in lines 24-25 and 59-60.
Main typeface is defined in lines 19 and 57. Are these redefinitions
intended or is it a bug? (Even if they were intended, I’d remove them
for the sake of clarity.)

Sorry, but I don’t know how to do that.

Indeed, for the cases where there are combining accents that is a much 
better solution. I should have chosen a better example, that is, one 
that does not have a combining accent. Fortunately, there are very few 
that fall into that category, and unfortunately, there are some.


Using this, together with Thomas’s code, I can get around these issues.

Thank you both.

(And yes, I had attached the wrong example, and then referred to the 
font therein by the wrong name.)

Re: [NTG-context] footnote coloring

[Meer, H. van der]

Thanks. I would not have thought of that. In the reference manual headcolor 
occurs in 13.2 \setupdescriptions and in 13.5 \definelabel only. I did not 
connect that with footnotes. Is \setupnotation a special form of 
\setupdescriptions?

By the way, is a separate call to \setupnote[footnote][textcolor=red] necessary 
to color the footnotemark in the running text? Or is there a key for it in 
\setupnotation[footnote] too?

[NTG-context] Oddity: \buildtextaccent shifts glyph right

[Rik]

I am using \buildtextaccent to create a couple of characters that have 
no Unicode equivalent. They are scribal abbreviations that made it into 
early typesetters works. In this case, the abbreviation are for Latin 
que, which looks like a q with a small ezh appended in a subscript 
position, and q with an acute accent, both of which are used in some 
17th century works I am dealing with. An example of the abbreviation 
with the ezh and accent can be seen at 
https://books.google.com/books?id=hHNVcAAJ=PA6#v=onepage=false in 
the sixth line of the paragraph beginning “Yea but”.


It seems that \buildtextaccent\textacute q (or \buildtextaccent´q) moves 
the q to the right within the character’s bounding box. The following 
example (and attached resulting pdf) demonstrates this. Lines 1 and 2 
show the string with and without the \buildtextaccent, and lines 4 and 6 
repeat that in italic.  The strings are the same width, but the q is 
moved right. Lines 3 and 6 show a manual kerning of the q to improve 
appearance.


This happens with many fonts, but not all (I do not see it with Computer 
Modern). I am using Win 10Pro x64 with ConTeXt  ver: 2015.09.04 11:00 
MKIV beta  fmt: 2015.9.5  int: english/english.


I suspect that this is not intended, but I am not sure.

I would also love to raise the accent a bit. Suggestions? I can live 
with it as it is and manually kern as needed. There are very few 
instances of these abbreviations that need to be dealt with.
