[NTG-context] paragraph numbering in[..] with paragraph resolution

2007-04-20 Thread Henning Haeske
Hi,

as I am still new to context I really have no idea how to realize following:

After each paragraph I like to have at the right bottom corner a small number. 
This number shout increase with every paragraph. The counting should restart 
after every heading (doesn't care which level).

How can I realize this?

Additionaly I like to use this number with the in-command: Instead of 
referering only to the heading number (e.g. 2.3.1) I want to refer to the 
paragraph (e.g. 2.3.1 / 16). But it should also be possible to refer to a 
group of paragraphs (e.g. 2.3.1 / 16-18 or 2.3.1 / 16, 21). Maybe with the 
possibility to exchange the / with anything else (e.g. 2.3.1 Abs. 17).

I am really happy for any hint, tip, implementing strategy to realize this. Of 
course: if I have finally a working solution i will enter it into the 
context-wiki.

Thanks, H.

 This seems to work for me:

 \stoptext

   
\obeylines
\def\obeyedline{\page[yes]}

should also work

[NTG-context] layout maximal width and height

2007-04-20 Thread Xan
Hi,

Is it any way to set only left and right margin on layout and that width 
and height of the text are automatically set to the maximal of the 
possible width (that is 
\printpaperwidth-\leftmargin-\leftedge-\leftedgedistance-\leftmarginditance-{the
 
same with right margins})?

I think that it will be useful if there were something like:

\setuplayout[   leftmargin=0mm,
leftedge=10mm, %distance between border of paper and margin
leftmargindistance=0mm, %distance between margin ant text
leftedgedistance=0mm, %distance between margin and leftedge
rightmargin=0mm,
rightedge=10mm, %distance between border of paper and margin
rightmargindistance=0mm, %distance between margin ant text
rightedgedistance=0mm, %distance between margin and leftedge
width=maximal]

(see the last line)

Thanks,
Xan

Hi Xan,

I think you misunderstood the layout of ConTeXt.

You are looking for backspace and cutspace.

\setuplayout
 [backspace=2cm, % left margin on the page
  cutspace=4cm,   % right margin on the page
  height=fit]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stoptext

 Hi Aditya,

 Thank you for pointing out my foolish mistake.

Remember that this only works if each paragraph is a single line. See 
the output of

\starttext
\catcode`\^^M=\active
\def^^M{\page[yes]}

\input knuth

\stoptext

I agree. We probably all agree, Hans included. But we also need
improved days with more (or longer) hours. That, and pdftex and
xetex should stop evolving.  Nothing is as disruptive as new
features :-)

In the autumn, Hans and I hopefully have the spare time to think
about some of the issues related to context releases, patches and
distributions.

Best wishes,

 MKII book for those who are afraid of swithing to pdftex2.
 

 ConTeXt should be eventually stabilized so that someone can make some use of 
 it. But, there is a way for rapid adopting of new techniques too.

 My experience of using open-source products (I'm best familiar with Moodle) 
 suggest that there should be overlapping cycles in development:
 1. Allocate new version number and start implementing new features.  Many 
 things are broken at the moment and the version becomes unusable for 
 production purposes. 
 2. Stabilize this version and make definite release (number x.x.). Now it can 
 be used for production.
 3. Continue resolve bugs in this version AND perform Step 1 IN PARALLEL.

 Moodle follows this model and I always wandered how smooth it was to migrate 
 between releases. Everything is completely predictable.
 Please, look at http://download.moodle.org/ to get the idea of their 
 versioning.

 I think ConTeXt needs similar versioning model badly. Now it has rather naive 
 model (release dates) that doesn't help in deciding about stability at all.

in addition to taco's answer:

i seldom do big chances in the distributed version; actually, i always 
use the alpha/beta/whatever in production here;

you can consider the tex live versions the formal stable versions -)

fyi: the real experimental stuff is in mkiv code and only a few have 
this on their machines; it's not in alpha/beta releases at all

keep in mind that a more complex versioning model will put my/taco's 
time for 'paid' work even more under pressure

in principle you can take any version you want from the svn repos 
(nicely packages in zips btw)

[NTG-context] Table of contents and 2UP or 2SIDE

2007-04-20 Thread Horacio Suarez
Hello:

When I use (just for saving paper and print time)

\setuparranging[2UP]

o

\setuparranging[2SIDE]

my table of content is empty, just the header (Indice) appears in that page. 
But if I don't use any arranging the TOC it's ok.

I can print the TOC alone, but I want to know if I'm doing somethig wrong, 
as usual...

Thankyou in advance.
