Re: [NTG-context] setuphead style 'underline'?
I am not sure whether that’s what you want, but I use
\setuphead [section]
[numberstyle=bold,
style={\tfb\bf\ss},
page=yes,
continue=no,
before={\hairline},
after={\hairline\blank[.4cm]}

[NTG-context] Accessing the URL of \useURL (for putting URLs into footnotes)

The following works, but I suspect that there may be a better way to get the
packing.
\define[1]\outlinehead{#1:}

\outline{Snack} Chocolate Cake
\outline{Discussion} Knuth or Tufte?
\outline{Open End} Bear and wine
\stoptext
Try it both with and without the hanging alternative.
And for me, beer is preferable to bear.

Re: [NTG-context] Simple command with variable number of arguments
Thanks Otared,
that looks very promising. My attempt to wrap the arguments with \NC \NR fails,
though.
It looks like only the first argument is used, and I am clearly missing
something.
Also, I’d like to use the example you posted but without the last comma so that
in the example below
I get (4,5) instead of (4,5,).

On May 18, 2014, at 11:42 PM, Rik r...@panix.com wrote:
I have been playing with this a bit. I think that the following does what you
want as far as setting up the margin text and description. I am no help on
the mp stuff that you will need for curly or other-dotted rules.
As you probably saw, neither \setupmargindata nor \setupmarginframed are in
the wiki. The list archive has some hints, but the source code, if you ignore
a couple of misleading comments, suggested what I got to work.
The problem you will run into with the description as you want to use it
comes when you have multiple paragraphs. Without a start/stop mechanism,
there is no way to mark the paragraphs to include within the scope of the
line. As long as you are willing to enclose multiple paragraphs in braces
(and provide a null description as I do here) you will be fine, but at that
point you may as well use the start/stop.
There is still a problem with the margin rule extending through the blank
line that results from the implied \par at the end of the description block
(and any explicit \par). It looks ugly and isn't matched by the behavior of
the rule in the start/stop text. Perhaps someone else can find a way around
it.
Some of this is probably unnecessary for what you want; for example, instead
of using optional arguments you may prefer to hardcode the choice of rule #
and color. If you want to always use the same color with the same rule #, you
can simplify in other ways.
I did use MKVI syntax, simply because I have been trying to use it
consistently in all my current work. It should be easily translated back to
earlier syntax.

Re: [NTG-context] Using the margin for two purposes
Thanks Hans,
while I did experiment I had no chance at divining the correct dimension
distance=-\dimexpr\textwidth+2mm below.
So, with that, my bare bones marginbar in the right margin could look like the
one in the file below. Where do I squeeze in the alternative=1
option to get dotted lines? When I put it into \definesidebar, the sidebar
disappears, and when I write \startsidebar[oeps,alternative=1]
it reverts to the default left sidebar (albeit dotted).

Looking through the code in anch-bar.mkiv, there is nothing that I can

Re: [NTG-context] Using the margin for two purposes
Hi Rik, thanks again.

Re: [NTG-context] Using the margin for two purposes
Thanks Rik,
that is very helpful. Now I am having some difficulties with coordinating the
\inmargins with the marginrules.
In the example below, I notice the oddity that \startmarginrule[2] is closer to
the text than \startmarginrule[1]
or \startmarginrule[3], which are at equal distance. I can live with that.
There are only three things I’d like to improve:
i) I’d like to put my default \inmargin arguments into the setup, but I can’t
figure out whether to use \setupinmargin
or \setupinmargindata, and where to put the arguments.
ii) Ideally I’d like to use a description to be able to write \startgreenline …
\stopgreenline, and I have tried this with
\setupdescription, but failed.
iii) Dream: Instead of solid margin rules I would love to have other options,
like squiggly lines, dashed, dotted.
Thanks!

You want margin rules. The wiki has a place-holder entry for
\setupmarginrules, but the ConTeXt reference manual has a couple of pages
that should provide a good start.

Re: [NTG-context] Using the margin for two purposes
Thanks Aditya, my metapost skills will probably not suffice to start this from scratch, but your hints made me dig around in the sources a little, and in mp-apos.mpiv I found anch_sidebars_draw which not only draws the straight marginrules but also dotted ones, to be invoked with \startmarginrule[2,alternative=1]. This confirms my suspicion that Hans has a time machine that allows him to implement features so that they are miraculously already available when requested. I then tried to play around with this function a little, e.g. changing dashed (withdots scaled (linewidth*2)) to dashed evenly but, to my embarrassment, it didn’t have any effect. Do I need to do something else besides saving the modified file to have it take effect?

[NTG-context] Arranging framed text without gaps
Dear all,
I am trying to create a table where the entries have determined width and
height. They typically are
something like
\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align={center,middle}{Text}
and I understand that I will be responsible for making the dimensions so that
everything fits nicely.
After playing around without much success with the various tables, I came up
with the following
which is not exactly ConTeXt-like:
\setupframed[
width=5cm,
height=4cm,
location={middle},
align={center,middle}
]
\setupbodyfont[24pt]
\starttext
\hbox{{\framed{Jim}}{\framed{Mary}}{\framed{John}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Patsy}}{\framed{Bob}}{\framed{Linda}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Mike}}{\framed{Babsy}}{\framed{Bill}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Liz}}{\framed{Dave}}{\framed{Jenny}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Dick}}{\framed{Sue}}{\framed{Chuck}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Maggie}}{\framed{Joe}}{\framed{Dolley}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Tom}}{\framed{Lisa}}{\framed{Chris}}}
\hbox{{\framed{Nancy}}{\framed{Paul}}{\framed{Betty}}}

I get small gaps between the horizontal rows which I don't like.
Also, in my (possibly not quite up to date) MkIV, the texts isn't centered.
In MkII it is.
My questions:
How do I
-- achieve the desired layout (exact dimensions, frames, no gaps) the right
way,
-- without gaps between horizontal rows
-- with text centered in the frames also in MkIV?
Thanks a lot -

[NTG-context] Emoticons ;-)
Dear all, I hope this doesn't get me banned from the ConTeXt list. What is the easiest/best way to add emoticons in ConTeXt as letters/symbols?

I am aware that one can use images as characters as well, but I am looking for a cleaner solution. Incidentally (and irrelevant for my current purposes), my dream/nightmare would be to have animated emoticons in a PDF file. Is that at all possible?

[NTG-context] Opening external documents with external application
Dear All,
I used to write
\goto{\externalfigure[cuteimage]}[program(file.ext)]
to get an image, that, when clicked, will open an application that will open
file.ext.
This currently still works on my Mac (10.8) with the TeXShop preview and with
Skim.
I does not work anymore with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat now asks permission,
but doesn't
do anything when granted. Even worse, on another Mac with an older OS, Skim
didn't open
the hyperlink either. On Windows, I couldn't find any program that would do the
job, by I don't
know much about that part of the world.
Is there anything that has changed recently in the way these kind of hyperlinks
must be written?
(I use MkII)
Thanks,
Matthias

Re: [NTG-context] Was: Opening external documents ... - Can ConTeXt reduce size of images?
Thanks Wolfgang -
I believed that the question was easy enough as is, but that was of course
short sighted.
The problem I described does not arise when one just typesets the file,
everything is good.
What I did was to reduce its file size using OS X's preview. This has
apparently been improved
so that it changes the behavior wrt external links.
In case somebody wants to try:
Typeset
\setupinteraction[page=yes,state=start]
\starttext
\goto{click}[program(test.tex)]
\stoptext
Open test.pdf with Acrobat. Clicking on click opens test.tex with your
designated TeX editor.
Close file in Acrobat.
Open test.pdf in Preview (OS 10.8, I am sure it behaved differently in earlier
versions).
Export with reduce file size as option checked
Open exported file in Acrobat.
Clicking on click will try to access the absolute file path of the previously
relative link. In the best case,
the finder will point to that file (instead of opening it). In the worst case,
it will not be found.
So, this clearly is not a ConTeXt problem. But it causes me major headaches.
In my workflow, I have dozens of images
that I prepare with Adobe Illustrator and save as pdf files that are still
editable with Illustrator, i.e. that include another copy of the
file with layers etc. In other words, my pdf images are about 10 times as big
as they need to be. I usually just reduce the file size with preview.
As this seems to be erroneous now, I am wondering:
Is there an option in \externalfigure that will strip everything redundant from
a pdf file?
Thanks again,
Matthias

Dear All,
I used to write
\goto{\externalfigure[cuteimage]}[program(file.ext)]
to get an image, that, when clicked, will open an application that will open
file.ext.
This currently still works on my Mac (10.8) with the TeXShop preview and
with Skim.
I does not work anymore with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat now asks
permission, but doesn't
do anything when granted. Even worse, on another Mac with an older OS, Skim
didn't open
the hyperlink either. On Windows, I couldn't find any program that would do
the job, by I don't
know much about that part of the world.
Is there anything that has changed recently in the way these kind of
hyperlinks must be written?

Your chance to get an answer will increase with a *working* minimal example.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt in the Cloud?
Dear All, as the proud owner of one of these tablet thingies I am trying to make it as TeX-friendly as possible. Because the chances of running TeX on it are slim, I've been looking at alternatives. The major goal would be to be able to create a presentation in ConTeXt on a tablet. For LaTeX, there is a cloud based services called ScribTeX, which allows you to store (in the free version) up to three projects with up to 50MB space in the cloud, and have it LaTeXed. As their cloud can be accessed via an App, you can edit the files on your tablet, send them to the cloud, have them TeXed, and download the pdf. I am tempted to contact the ScribTeX people and ask them to suport ConTeXt as well, but as I am just a little user and wouldn't have a clue about legalities, technicalities, etc, I thought I might ask here first. Thanks!

[NTG-context] convert color to black and white documents
Dear all, I am working on a text with plenty of figures, using modes to create both a screen and a print version. For the print version, which will be printed in black and white, I'd like to have all colors (including those of the figures) to be converted to grayscale so that I can softproof the document. Is there a way to do that in ConTeXt? I realize that these are multiple problems, addressing the conversion of the figures as well as the conversion of colored texts and other decorations that are done within ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] Placing text in the margin of a header or the top right corner of a page
Fascinating. Thanks a lot. That is more than I hoped for, and was easy to adapt
to what I wanted.
One small issue: There is a tiny gap between the black layer box and the right
margin (in white) that doesn't even disappear when I increase hoffset.
Any chance to make that disappear, too?
Thanks again -

I get the error message MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Here is what I did: Downloaded TeXLive 2010 Then followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation I did this a few years back without a hitch, so I am wondering what is different now. In any case, in the above instructions, under Configuring ConTeXt, instep 4, the copies file has already the indicated changes in it. I used the same paths as indicated and ran luatools --generate as well as context --make Everything went ok without error messages. I then configured TeXShop as explained. As I said, MKII works fine but MKIV gives the error message. I searched the wiki for it and there seem to be some related reports, but I couldn't find a resolution. Any suggestions?

[NTG-context] Automatic cross reference to next page at automatic page breaks only
Dear all, I am trying to create a screen document that relies entirely on navigation via links. A typically page has several cross references in it the reader has to choose from (think of multiple choice tests). Occasionally, a page is too long to fit on a single screen. I would like to have a link to the next page at the bottom right corner of the screen whenever a page break occurs that is not forced via say a new section. In other words, whenever *automatic* page breaks occur, I want that extra link in the footer. In all other cases, I have my own manual links. Any ideas?

Re: [NTG-context] slightly OT: tablets
Hi Thomas, you can even do presentations of PDFs with an iPod touch. You will need a dock connector/ TV out cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/ ht1454). In iOS 4, you have direct support of PDFs, i.e. you can copy PDFs directly to your iPod. Before that, you needed a separate app to view PDFs. As for PDF features, you'll be somewhat limited as to what the viewers support. For instance, movies within PDFs won't work. Also, I don't think there is a way to use clickers to control the iPod/ iPad. Matthias On Jul 19, 2010, at 1:51 PM, Thomas A.

[NTG-context] Indents, enumerations, and modes (mk2+mk4)
Dear all,
I have two questions regarding using spacing in enumerations.
Depending on a mode being enabled, I would like to add a command at
the beginning of
an enumeration (I want to place something in the margin, but it
doesn't actually matter what I do, only when).
As shown in the minimal example below, invoking the macro that does
something, a little extra space is added.
I don't know why, it is probably something very TeX-basic I am
ignorant of. So: How do I get rid of the extra space?
The problem occurs both in mk2 and mk4, I would prefer a solution that
also works in mk2.
Thanks!

Re: [NTG-context] The ConTeXt book

[NTG-context] InteractionsBar - another shot

let me try again:
The following works in mkii but all the buttons get squeezed together
in mkiv. I have the hunch that I'm doing something that I am not
supposed
to which just accidentally works in mkii. But I can't figure out what.

[NTG-context] Where is the cow?
Dear all,
maybe a catchy subject line will get attention -:)
Indeed, the cow seems to be missing in mk2 and is overly present in
mk4 in the sense that my own image cow.jpg within the same directory
as the
document below gets ignored in favor of the cow that's present in the
mk4 minimals. These are minor issues, as it is relatively unlikely that
I will need to include images of cows in my documents in the near
future.
What is bothering me however is my inability to combine figures
properly together with text in a controlled manner.
I have a bunch ow smallish images (let's call them cows) which I'd
like to have surrounded by text. I am happy and actually
prefer to do this manually instead of keeping my fingers crossed that
some automatic algorithm will do the job, but for that I need to
know how which version of ConTeXt is placing the figures. What would
work for me: A way to split the text width into chunks that have fixed
widths,
and fill these chunks individually and vertically with figures or
text. This might be possible with tables, but there should be a
simpler way.
Below are my attempts so far - with very frustrating results, both in
mk2 and mk4.

[NTG-context] More questions about hiding/reusing blocks
Dear all,
I have two more questions about reusing blocks and interreferencing
them.
First of all, I have set up problems within different chapters, and
would like to have a separate chapter at the end that gathers
the solutions chapter by chapter like
\chapter{Solutions}
\section{Solutions from chapter 1}
get these here
\section{Solutions from chapter 2}
get those here
A sample file is attached below that has the layout, but all I know is
how to retrieve all blocks at once. Would I need to create another
block at the end of each chapter, and
retrieve these at the end? If so, how?
Then, I'd like to have little inconspicuous hyperlinks from the
exercise to its solution and back. So far, I can only do this
manually, as indicated. I would prefer to have the text Exercise in
the enumeration
to become a hyperlink to the corresponding solution, and vice versa
for the text Solution.
Is there a way of doing this (or something similar)?
Thanks a lot for all the help!
Matthias

\stoptext
which doesn't produce any backgrounds - neither on my installation,
nor at ConTeXt live.
What is the current way to produce backgrounds around text snippets?
I'll need/want it
framed with rounded corners eventually, too.

[NTG-context] NOT reusing figures
Dear All, I just notice another discrepancy between 2009 and earlier ConTeXt: I organize my project in folders/subfolders according to chapters/ sections, and each section folder contains the files needed for that section: the ConTeXt source, images, and helper files etc. Now it happens so that some images in different directories have the same name. In my ConTeXt (2009), only the first image is loaded and used instead of the local one (which is explicitly referenced with the correct path). I can clearly rename all file names to become unique, but it strikes me as a little odd.

Re: [NTG-context] distro info
For a while I thought it doesn't make sense for me to add to this thread, but there appears to be a complete ignorance among many power ConTeXt users about abnormal ways to use ConTeXt, and maybe even computers. I believe that there are keyboard people and mouse people. I myself am mostly a mouse person. Nevertheless, TeX has its appeal to me, besides its math typesetting competence. I love to formulate what I write while I am typing, and because I type slowly, this works quite well. I found that wysiwyg systems distract me from finding good formulations, because I pay too much attention to the layout while typing. After producing the content, it is quite easy to change the layout, and I like to do that, too -- but it is a totally different activity. I found ConTeXt to be more satisfying than LaTeX here, for several reasons. One of them is that if I want to achieve something new in LaTeX, I typically have to choose (carefullly) between several different packages, with the danger of breaking something else or to run into limitations. With ConTeXt, the Garden is a great resource, and if everything else fails, one can ask on this friendly list... No my confession: I hate digging around in the TeX tree, or compile new versions, etc. While I have done all this, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, I just don't need to do it often enough that I have become familiar enough with the pitfalls so that I can overcome potential problems. My memory is so bad that something I don't do at least weekly will just disappear, and I don't have enough time to exercise the unix installation yoga weekly. Hence I have been living with the TeXLive ConTeXt distribution(on a Mac) for a while, always afraid that the answer to a problem will be just upgrade to the newest nightly built. I am sure I am not the only one. But I do not complain. ConTeXt is great, but has a long way to go until Hans and company can afford dealing with a larger user base -- when the volume of this mailing list doubles, it will become completely useless to new users.

Re: [NTG-context] InDesign/InCopy vs. TeX and friends
One thing that hasn't been emphasized enough in this thread is the beneficial effect of TeX for the scientific community, in particular the mathematical, physical, and chemical sciences. TeX has made it possible to easilyfreely prepare and distribute manuscripts. There even is a preprint server (www.arxiv.org) that accepts mostly TeX, giving worldwide access to many papers that would after their publication only be available through expensive journals. I don't know whether anybody has ever estimated the costs that all these benefits would have if one was using alternatives to TeX. It must be in the billions of dollars. Besides the ability of TeX to typeset formulas and its costs, it is its level of standardization that makes it so useful for scientists: TeX is an extremely well-defined system. My 15 year old TeX files still `TeX', despite changing computers and operating systems multiple times. The only drawback for the scientific community is that there is no easy way to parse TeX into Mathematics, i.e. make the formulas one can typeset intelligible to a computer algebra system. This is of course possible now with MathML.

[NTG-context] Presentation style problem
Hello,
I've been using the green presentation style aka s-pre-02 in a few
presentations. When I typeset these now,
using ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.5.18 int:
english/english, (or LiveConTeXt as of today),
the text runs right up to the green rectangle, leaving no margin
(left, right, top, bottom). I have fiddled with various options of
\setuplayout
to not much avail, curiously repeated typesetting gives different
results (which stabilize after the second pass).
I am once again looking for the right incantation to get the text
back nicely into its frame.
Thanks,

[NTG-context] testing for broken links to external documents
Dear all, is there a simple TeX/ConTeXt way to test in a TeX file whether a link to an external document is broken so that I get an error message if not? I am using numerous links to external files (on my hard drive) and I'd like to make sure that none of the links are broken without going manually trough them. Though not an issue at this point, and probably more complicated: Can one also check for broken links to web pages? I don't even know whether that's possible in Acrobat or whether there are tools out there that do that.

Not unless the copyright holders submit the material to Lulu. In short, Lulu.com is a print-on-demand publisher with no costs involved for the author: He or she uploads a 'book', specifies bindings and his/her royalties, and if someone purchases the book, it is printed and send to the person. A percentage o the royalties goes to Lulu. In particular, one can choose to publish a book w/o royalties, then it will only cost the printing expenses. Downloads just cost the royalties, if permitted. Finally, the author can choose among a range of copyright options.

[NTG-context] gwTeX: FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
Dear all, I have tried updating ConTeXt with the result that any ConTeXt document results in the above error message :( I have re-installed everything (I hope - deleted teTeX from /usr/ local/, and the ipackages folder from the home directory, then re-installed everything using iinstaller) to no avail. I tried both the ConTeXt beta and the stable version. Any ideas what's wrong? Full log file is below.

[NTG-context] CoNTeXt on Mac OS X with iinstaller still broken
Dear Mac-ConTeXt users (and other experts),
I typically upgrade my least used Mac (my laptop) to the newest
ConTeXt release first, and
only go ahead with the desktop when my projects compile fine.
Otherwise, I usually wait until the more proficient users have sorted
things out.
Now, for a while, the iinstaller ConTeXt version has been broken.
While there have been
numerous reports and workaround and fixes on this list, it would be
most convenient
to have iinstaller working again (or another foolproof solution).
For reference, I attach the log file for
\starttext
ffi
\stoptext
which shows that ligatures aren't shown.
Thanks in advance!
Matthias

Re: [NTG-context] CoNTeXt on Mac OS X with iinstaller still broken
Thanks Taco (and Hans),
replacing the
TEXFONTMAPS =
line
in /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf
by all the stuff below does indeed work (even with today's beta). Is
there an incantation I could use
so that Gerben's iinstaller does this automatically? I want to talk
somebody into using ConTeXt
(on a Mac), and this person is even less educated in this kind of
surgery than I am.

Cutpaste from an old reply by Hans himself:
hm, this is due to the fact that context finds the dvipdfmx map files
first [maybe it's time to get rid of map files altogether and
switch to
maplines]; either delete the files from the dvipdfmx pathm, or adapt
yout texmf.cnf file
this is what it should be
TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfm = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfmx = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS.pdftex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{pdftex,dvips,}//

Re: [NTG-context] Angle braces?
Hi,
this depends -- different fonts contain different kinds of 'angle
braces',
depending on their purpose. Do you want them for (french style)
quotations, or for typesetting math?
The following is a set of examples -- they might look very different
with other fonts.
Matthias
(\langle and \rangle is math mode only I believe)
\setuplanguage [en] [rightquote=\rightguillemot,leftquote=
\leftguillemot]
\starttext
foo \leftguillemot bar\rightguillemot{} foo
\leftsubguillemot bar\rightsubguillemot{}
foo $\langle \text{bar}\rangle$ foo.
foo \quote{bar} foo
\stoptext

Hi,
Annoyingly simple question -- apologies -- but I'm having no luck from
the web. The ConTeXt wiki isn't turning up anything, and the pragma
site
seems to be broken, so I can't access the ConTeXt manual. So:
What are the commands in ConTeXt to get angled braces, i.e. `' and
''?
I've got is \langle and \rangle respectively, but these aren't
resulting
in output -- the dvi has nothing where they should be - foo bar foo
instead of foo bar foo. Using the braces themselves, eg
\starttext
foo bar foo
\stoptext
gives me upside-down exclamation and question marks, for left and
right
braces respectively.
Thanks for any help.

Re: [NTG-context] Accessing local files -- more precise description
Dear all again, as a follow-up to my previous question, I think I can now ask more precisely: In Acrobat, a linked document can be treated in different ways. A 'webdocument' is typically just downloaded (and opened in Acrobat if possible). This is the behavior I get when using \from with \useURL. There is another possible behavior, called 'Open File' in Acrobat, which will launch a program to open the linked document. This is what I want. Is this feature of Acrobat accessible in ConTeXt? (I can manually edit the pdf to this effect in Acrobat). Thanks again, Matthias ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Accessing local files -- relative file names?
Thanks Willi,I mistakenly believed \goto only works within one document.My current solution is to use\goto{3DXM}[program(/test/cycloids.ODE3D)]which works in Acrobat (not in preview though, which is something I can live with)and TeXShop.Curiously enough, if I use relative file names, they still work in Acrobat but not inTeXShop anymore...Thanks again!MatthiasOn May 3, 2006, at 12:18 PM, Willi Egger wrote:Please look the details up in the widget-manual ___
