[NTG-context] Two column layout with footnotes

[Michael Loescher]

Hello list,

Is it possible to create a two-column journal layout with ConTeXt in which 
relatively large footnotes are always in the right column and, if the size of 
the footnotes exceeds a certain threshold, are distributed between the left and 
right columns? (comparable as shown in the attachment)


As far as I understand it, there are different possibilities for column set 
(e.g. column set, pagecolumns), but which one would be best, if it is possible 
at all?


Kind regards
Michael

[NTG-context] preventing column break after section title

[Peter Münster]

Hi,

How could I prevent a column break after the second section title please?

Minimal example:

\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2]
  \section{title 1}
  \dorecurse{22}{bla\par}
  \section{title 2} % Here starts a new column.
  \startitemize
\dorecurse{15}{\item bla}
  \stopitemize
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

I’ve tried "\setuphead[section][after={\columnbreak[no]}]", but it does
not help.

TIA for any hints,
-- 
   Peter

Re: [NTG-context] error in column sets

If you enable \setuplayout[grid=yes], lines get placed correctly.
Also floats work well (here and top).

But some columnsetspans still disappear, and footnotes get overwritten. 
(I know, that tricky inset stuff…)

[NTG-context] error in column sets

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

In a minimal example like this:

\setuppapersize[A5]
\definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2]

\starttext

An extended example (nearly the same as in the manual) shows that some 
column set spans don’t appear:


\showgrid\showframe

\definecolumnset[Beispiel][n=3]
\definecolumnsetspan[Zwei][n=2,color=blue]
\definecolumnsetspan[Drei][n=3,color=red]

\startcolumnsetspan[Zwei]% This never shows up!
Zwei: \dorecurse{2}{#1: \samplefile{lorem}\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan

Nach: \dorecurse{15}{#1: \samplefile{knuth}\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

Also I seem to remember that column sets would enforce grid mode, but 
they clearly don’t.


(BTW the old \startcolumns mode works better than I remembered.)

[NTG-context] Formula has excess vertical spacing when in two column itemize

[Gavin via ntg-context]

Hi List,

I am getting better at adjusting the space in enumerations, but I just put a 
formula inside an enumeration, and the formula’s vertical spacing became 
excessive. I’m not sure how the enumeration caused this problem.


\starttext

Evaluate the following derivatives.

\startitemize[n, columns, two, nowhite, after]

\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx} x^2$

This is where the solution should be. Text answers look fine, but formulas have 
too much space above, below and between lines\dots.

\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^3 + 2x \right)$

\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^{-2} \right)$

\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}\left( 4t^4 - 3t^{\onehalf} \right) $

\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t )$

\startformula\startmathalignment
\NC \frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t ) \NC= \frac{d}{dt} 9 - \frac{d}{dt} 3t \NR
\NC  \NC= 0 - 3\frac{d}{dt} t \NR
\NC  \NC= -3\cdot 1t^0 \NR
\NC  \NC= -3 \NR
\stopmathalignment\stopformula

\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dp}\left( p^3 - 2p \right)$

\stopitemize

\stoptext


I’m also attaching a file with the above issue followed by the correct spacing 
in one-column for comparison.

I’m using LMTX (today’s upload, ver: 2022.10.21 21:13 LMTX  fmt: 2022.10.21) on 
an M1 Mac.

Any ideas?
Gavin

Dear Hans and ConTeXt developers,

When you compile the following code with ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.28 10:19, you
will see that:
* in 1-column text the top spacing of the circle is normal,
* in 2-column text, the top spacing of the circle is too large.

Re: [NTG-context] Pull quote between two column - trial

[Garulfo via ntg-context]

to use pull quotes, I need to use the dimensions of the different 
elements to be typeset, before typesetting, in order to adapt the shapes 
of the flow accordingly.


So here is just a basic code to
1/ get the dimensions of an item A that will be typeset, before it is 
actually typeset
2/ use these dimensions to define a item B that should be typeset before 
item 1

3/ typeset of item B and finally item A


It is a quick and dirty solution.

Please, could you help me to have a more elegant solution

1/ to replace

 "width=\measure{FTitleW},"

by something more direct like

 "width=\GetDim{myframes}{FTitle}


2/ to replace

   context("\\definemeasure[#2W][" .. (n.width /65536)  .. "pt]")

   by a more "luametatexish" formulation



Le 28/05/2022 à 20:25, Garulfo a écrit :

some progress... if it can help.

No more issue with nonsymetrical behavior, and \framed are properly 
aligned with the grid.

Re: [NTG-context] Pull quote between two column - trial

[jbf via ntg-context]

That is progress, Garulfo, and real progress! I'm sorry I have not been 
any help to you in achieving this... a bit beyond my skill set. But I 
have long regarded this particular 'feature' to be a quite important 
'missing' feature of ConTeXt, since I occasionally get requests from 
authors as to the possibility of including such pull quotes in 
multi-column presentations, and I have to tell them that to do so I need 
to use another program where that is more easily achieved.


So, I just wanted you to know that someone out there appreciates your 
efforts with this, one of many I am sure.

Why does context fail, producing an empty .log and .pdf, with the following

[NTG-context] Pull quote between two column - trial

[Garulfo via ntg-context]

Hi all,

hope you are all doing well.

I am still trying to display pull quote between two columns.

lmt_parshape is really helpfull.


I need to add a 1pt gap to make the left column behave correctly,
but the right column remains shifted one line below the intended one.

Question1: any clue ?

Question2: is there a way to use the columnset system to produce a 
similar output ?


Thanks again for your feedbacks,
Garulfo

[NTG-context] \placenotes ends up in wrong place when mixing one- and two- column layouts.

[Zhichu Chen via ntg-context]

Thanks Hans, works perfectly.


Sorry for the late reply. Still working on the template and got another 
one. Again, sorry.



The journal is in two-column form and the title, authors, and addresses 
are spanned to


the full width. Very common. But the title may acknowledge to some 
fund(s) and the


authors may have email addresses. If I use \note[thanks] and 
\note[email] to do that,


only the markers are shown. That's expected. So I tried to put 
\postponenotes before


the title and insert\placenotes[thanks] and \placenotes[email] after 
\startcolumns. The


notes did show up but in wrong position.


I hope there's another magic switch, or I have to put the marks in the 
title head and


put "real" but invisible notes in the two-column texts.



Thanks again, Hans.


Yours,

Zhichu

Hi,

I am going to convince the Board of a journal to consider ConTeXt as

The journal requires the titles to be CAPITALISED, except for the 
acronyms. I'm currently
using backticks`...`to wrap it and replace it with\egroup 
...\WORD\bgroup{} with
lpeg. This kinda works, but that's so ugly. Besides, the actual story 
is that I also want to

add markdown as an option, so the backticks actually have meanings.

I also checked thetypo-cap.luafile to get a clue. But I used to use 
TeX exclusively

and I have to admit that it's so overwhelming for a newbie.

I really like the way wherebibtextreats words enclosed in curly

Or are there something that's less aggressive than\WORDso the LaTeX

Re: [NTG-context] local notes, "serried" (paragraph) or column style.

[Youssef Cherem via ntg-context]

Hi again,

As a follow-up, I just found some weird behavior when typesetting
local/text notes using columns. The code below describes the issue. (As the
notes are counted by page I really didn't need to use localnotes, so the
problem of footnotes disappearing is solved.)

\definenote[afiliação]%[numberconversion=set 2]

\setupnote[afiliação][

%paragraph=yes,

rule=off,

location=text,

]

\setupnotation[afiliação][numberconversion=a, way=bypage,

%location=text,

%alternative=serried, % no effect

alternative=hanging,

width=fit, % broad

%distance=.5em,

%display=no

] % or set 1

% n=3 doesn’t work


\setupnotation[footnote][location={bottom,left},alternative=hanging,distance=.5em]



\starttext


Note\footnote{This should be at the bottom, but if I use columns it goes
just below the columns.}


%{% local notes have to be enclosed, otherwise footenotes below don’t appear

Author 1\afiliação{asdf} Author 2\afiliação{asdf}
\dorecurse{5}{\afiliação{Nota explicativa.}}


\startcolumns[n=3]

\placenotes[afiliação]

\stopcolumns

%}

% end local notes



\blank[big]


This footnote will disapear completely if I use localnotes and don’t
enclose them.\footnote{Where does it go?}

Yes, it is. I wanted them as two lines, but one below the other. If I
don't use \par, they become one line. May be you will be able to
understand my requirement if I tell what these are. The first of the
pair is one of the many syllables in a text analysed, the numbers
inside the parentheses are its rank and frequency proportion. So, to
make sense, they have to be together. And, it looks pretty if the pairs
are lined up nicely.

> \dontleavehmode\hbox{\tfa\bold{variable} (12 - 0.13)}

Thanks for this. But, I changed to natural tables as suggested by
Kausika and that solved my problems.

> we need a better example (just a snippet of actual source that gets 
> rendered to see the issue)

I am afraid this example is a bit long. The last pair in the first and
third columns gets split.And, overall, the lines are not aligned.

Hi Kausika,

I used natural tables as you suggested and it has solved both my
problems.

Thanks again for all your help,
Have a wonderful year ahead,

This probably is because the different conjuncts in each of these lines
have different heights. How can I ask Context to treat each of these

But isn't the \par breaking it?

\dontleavehmode\hbox{\tfa\bold{variable} (12 - 0.13)}

we need a better example (just a snippet of actual source that gets 
rendered to see the issue)

Your example is not clear enough for me to address b). I think I understand 
what problem you have described in a).

If you want to explicitly typeset paragraphs into a columnar format, use 
'paragraphs':

\defineparagraphs[mypar][n=5]
\setupparagraphs[mypar][1][width=…]
\setupparagraphs[mypar][2][width=…]
\setupparagraphs[mypar][3][width=…]
\setupparagraphs[mypar][4][width=…]
\setupparagraphs[mypar][5][width=…]

Now, you can do
\startmypar
this is the first column
\mypar
and here is the second column
\mypar
the third column is here
\mypar
and the fourth column is here
\mypar
and the last (fifth) column
\stopmypar

[If you end up using this you will have to "denote columns" in your script-
generated file by using \mypar]

Look into the options of \setupparagraphs for more details (there is a height 
option as well). If the height varies due to the formation of conjuncts, I 
think you are better off using "(natural) tables" :
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE
In particular, setting align=lohi for the two columns concerned should work. 
Again, your example is not clear enough for me to suggest much.

Depending on what you want, you can try adding \testpage[n] (where n is a 
number). This checks if the remainder of the page has enough space for n lines; 
if not, then it issues a page-break.

[NTG-context] Progressively encouraging page/column breaks at \blank with penalties

[Joey McCollum via ntg-context]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a section break marker in a grid layout. At a
section break, two lines of space should separate the subsequent segments
of text (just plain paragraphs, in this case), and a symbol (in the example
below, "X") should be set in the middle of these two lines. For my
purposes, the section break symbol should never occur at the top of a page
or column, and it is more desirable to have a page or column end with the
section break symbol than to have a single orphaned line follow the symbol
at the end of the page or column. Based on these constraints, I thought
that using the "samepage" and "preference" options for the first and second
line breaks would work nicely:

```
\define\SectionBreak{%
\blank[halfline, samepage]% non-breaking to ensure that no column
begins with the section break symbol
\startalignment[middle]%
{X}% section break symbol
\stopalignment%
\blank[halfline, preference]% this can (and, if possible, should) be
broken across a column
```

This does successfully prevent the placement of the symbol at the top of a
page/column, but it doesn't encourage the placement of the symbol at the
end of a page/column as often as I would like. I tried replacing the
"preference" option with options with better negative penalties, like
"penalty:-1000", "penalty:-2000", and even "penalty:-5000", but these
didn't make any difference. The option "penalty:-1" trivially works,
but it forces a page/column break at every section break marker, which is
far too extreme.

Is this normal behavior? I would have thought that progressively more
negative penalties would gradually encourage page/column breaks, but this
doesn't seem to happen. In the following MWE, the "preference" and
"penalty" options (apart from "penalty:-1") for the second line break
don't change the total page count or appearance of the final page at all
(which would be expected in a document of this size):

```

\setuplayout[

grid=yes %enable baseline grid

]


\setupinterlinespace[18bp] % text line spacing


%Define macro for section break:

\define\SectionBreak{%

\blank[halfline, samepage]%non-breaking to ensure that no column begins
with the section break symbol

\startalignment[middle]%

{X}% section break symbol

\stopalignment%

\blank[halfline]% a column break here is neither encouraged nor discouraged

% \blank[halfline, preference]% this should encourage a column break here,
but it doesn't seem to make a difference

% \blank[halfline, penalty:-1000]% still no difference

% \blank[halfline, penalty:-2000]% still no difference

% \blank[halfline, penalty:-5000]% still no difference

% \blank[halfline, penalty:-1]% this works, but it is too extreme!

}


%Set things up for fakewords:

\usemodule[visual]

\setupsystem[random=10]


\starttext

\dorecurse{400}{\fakewords{20}{100}\SectionBreak}

\stoptext
```

As always, any help is appreciated!

Re: [NTG-context] How to place text before a table inside a column environment

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've already tried columnsets. With or without grid=yes, with or without a
columnspan, using columnsets produces the following log even though the
table fits on one page.

pages   > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1, subpage 1

I stopped counting at 200,

Re: [NTG-context] How to place text before a table inside a column environment

No, I'm afraid not. I have been combining the various table and column
environments, all without success - yet.

Re: [NTG-context] How to place text before a table inside a column environment

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hi Michael,

you could try columnsets and use a columnsetspan for the text above the columns.

I don’t know if tables work well within a columnset, though.

[NTG-context] How to place text before a table inside a column environment

[Michael Guravage]

I have created a table and placed it inside a columns environment; which
works as advertised. However, if I place any text before the column
environment, the columns break. More clearly stated, only one column
appears on the first table page; whereas two columns resume on subsequent
pages. I have attached a mwe where you can use --mode=title to invoke the
broken columns.

Any advice on how to place text above the columns environment would be
gratefully received.

Re: [NTG-context] Asymmetrical Column layout leads to an extra blank page (Solved!)

[Ramkumar KB]

Hello,

I managed to resolve the issue - which turns out bcos I had 2 back2back
columnset definitions. So instead, I combined them into 1 and the result
was ok.

*Before (leads to blank page or page with symmetrical columns):*

\definecolumnset[2col][n=2, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[2col:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[2col:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]

\definecolumnset[3col][n=3, page=yes]
\setupcolumnset[3col:1][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:2][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:3][width=.45\makeupwidth]

\startcolumnset[2col]
...
\stopcolummnset

\startcolumnset[3col]
...
\stopcolummnset

*After (gets the desired result):*

\definecolumnset[summary][nleft=2, nright=3, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[summary:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:3][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:4][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:5][width=.45\makeupwidth]

\startcolumnset[summary]
...
\stopcolummnset

Best,

[NTG-context] Asymmetrical Column layout leads to an extra blank page

[Ramkumar KB]

Hello All,

I am new to this community and am really excited about the possibilities
with ConTeXt.

My question is related to the thread -
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg92767.html (the
suggested solution did not work, unfortunately)

After trying out various options, I am faced with these 2 (sub-optimal)
choices -

   1. Extra Blank page with Asymmetric Columns in the next page (with the
   \subject{} uncommented)
   2. No Blank page with Symmetric Columns (with the \subject{} commented)
   3. page=yes / no - does not work (same outcome as above)

I am not sure the role of \section or \subject in this matter (seems to be
somehow interfering with asymmetrical columnset).

\usemodule[newcolumnsets]
...

% \subject{} \definecolumnset[soi1][n=3, distance=3mm, page=yes]
% \definecolumnset[currency][n=3, page=yes]
\setupcolumnset[soi1:1][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[soi1:2][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[soi1:3][width=.45\makeupwidth]

Any tips, help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. If not for
columnset, is there any other way to get this type of layout?

I found a useful counter in page-pcl.mkiv: \c_page_col_current.

Here's a MWE:

\c_page_col_current works most of the time, but unfortunately it tells

So sometimes it fails. You can see that in the MWE: the bold "1" between

[NTG-context] balance=yes eats up footnote in one-line column

[Joey McCollum]

I noticed some unexpected behavior while putting together a minimal working
example for a different issue. In a multi-column layout with column
balancing turned on, if the first column contains a single line and that
line contains a footnote, then the footnote will not be typeset. A minimal
example demonstrating this follows:

\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2]
A single line of text with balancing.\footnote{Footnote dropped in
column balancing.}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext


I typeset this using ConTeXt version 2020.03.10 (from the TeXLive 2020
distribution).

Clearly, the situation I described is an exceptional one, but it could
happen in some real cases (e.g., if the last page of a two-column  text
consists of a widowed line with a footnote), and in any event, this seems
like unintended behavior, so I thought I should bring it to the mailing
list's attention.

[NTG-context] column(sets) questions

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Background: I’m typesetting the annual report of my home town’s "friends of the 
earth" chapter. The corporate design has pages with one, two and three columns 
(yes, that makes sense).
Chapter titles run over the whole page width or sometimes only over two columns 
on three column pages. Images, ads and "boxes" are one or two columns wide 
(here, top or bottom placement, "here" only in one column).
There are a few simple tables on one or two column pages.

I guess I must use columnsets? Still looking into the other options.
Can’t remember the details of the discussion I had with Hans in Bassenge...

*
In the preface of the columnsets manual we’re advised to 
\usemodule[newcolumnsets]
This seems outdated.

*
If I use columnsets for two and three column pages, should I also use a 
one-column columnset for consistency?

*
Can I define columnsetspans whose width depends on the columnset? e.g. like

\definecolumnsetspan[Title][n=2]
\definecolumnsetspan[Intro][n=2]

\startsetups cs:TwoCol
  \setupcolumnsetspan[Title][n=2]
  \setupcolumnsetspan[Intro][n=1]
\stopsetups

\startsetups cs:ThreeCol
  \setupcolumnsetspan[Title][n=3]
  \setupcolumnsetspan[Intro][n=2]
\stopsetups

\definecolumnset[ZweiS][
  n=2,
  setups=cs:TwoCol,
]

\definecolumnset[DreiS][
  n=3,
  setups=cs:ThreeCol,
]

(This doesn’t work, and it’s not a MWE.)

*
ConTeXt stops a few times (probably for every float) on \wait =,
I guess that comes from \page_grd_command_flush_floats in page-cst.mkiv;
is that necessary?

*
Page columns don’t have spans, right?

*
If I would want to use mixed columns, do I need to use \setupmixedcolumns etc. 
or do mixed columns already replace columns if I don’t \usemodule[old-columns]?
Do mixed columns have spans?


So far...


Greetlings, Hraban

Well, I can tell you what is wrong …

The definition of \referencecolumnnumber is like this:

\def\referencecolumnnumber
  {\numexpr \dimexpr \clf_referenceposx -\cutspace \relax /
\dimexpr \makeupwidth /\nofcolumns \relax 
   +\plusone \relax }

But that outer \numexpr rounds instead of truncates. so anything that
is past halfway of the column is rounded too far up. This fixes it
(but not very elegantly)

\unprotect
\def\referencecolumnnumber
  {\numexpr \dimexpr \clf_referenceposx -\cutspace - \makeupwidth 
/(2*\nofcolumns) \relax /
\dimexpr \makeupwidth /\nofcolumns \relax 
   +\plusone \relax }
\protect
 

Best wishes,
Taco

yes and no:

no : there is not something buil tin
yes: one can write some hack in a few lines

but instead of posting such a hack (which then will a live of its

\pagereference[column:#1]

Thanks for implementing this, but I am afraid it does not work 
properly, at least not if there are several targets following one 
after another.


Consider this example:


\setupcolumns[
    n=2,
]
\setuplinenumbering[
    step=5,
    method=page,
]

\def\Lab#1{%
\pagereference[#1]%
\pagereference[column:#1]%
\someline[#1]%
}

\def\Ref#1{
page \at[#1],
column 
\doifelsereferencefound{column:#1}{\number\referencecolumnnumber}{},

line \inlinerange[#1].
}

\starttext
\startcolumns
\startlinenumbering

REFERENCES:\par
A: \Ref{A}\par
B: \Ref{B}\par
C: \Ref{C}\par
D: \Ref{D}\par
E: \Ref{E}\par
F: \Ref{F}\par
\input lorem
TARGETS:
\Lab{A} A,
\Lab{B} B,
\Lab{C} C.
\input lorem
TARGETS:
\Lab{D} D,
\Lab{E} E,
\Lab{F} F.
\input lorem

\stoplinenumbering
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

As you will see, targets A, B and C are all in the first column, and 
targets D, E and F are all in the second column. But the references 
read as follows:


A: page 1, column 1, line 29.
B: page 1, column 1, line 29.
C: page 1, column 2, line 29.
D: page 1, column 2, line 14.
E: page 1, column 3, line 14.
F: page 1, column 3, line 14.


Best regards,
Oliver




At least, I would need to get some value that tells me whether the 
target is in the left or in the right column. How to achieve this?


This is the more simplified version of the my previous question 
cited below.


Best regards,
Oliver.


Am 12.08.19 um 15:26 schrieb Oliver von Criegern:

Dear list members,

how can I create cross references to column numbers?

I have a two column layout with column numbers in the header 
instead of page numbers (actually, these column numbers are 
calculated from the page numbers). Now I want to create a cross 
reference that returns the column number of the target. How can I 
achieve this?


Of course, I can get the page number with \pagereference (for the 
target) and \at (for the reference), but for calculating the 
column number (according to what I did in the header), I would 
also need to know whether the target is in the left or in the 
right column, and I can't see how I can get this information.


For an example, see the question posted by me at stackexchange:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/502944/context-cross-references-to-column-numbers 



Besides, I am wondering, regarding the generally very regular and 
consistent naming of commands in ConTeXt, why this is not so in 
the case of references. For example, to refer to a page, I need 
\pagereference (for the target) and \at (for the reference); to 
refer to a line, I need \someline (for the target) and \inline 
(for the reference), but only if I want it to automatically add 
the word "line" or something else before the number, otherwise I 
have to use \inlinerange. It took me some time to find that out. 
Wouldn't it be easier to have just one command for the target and 
another one for the reference, and everything else, as counters 
and headers to be returned, text to be added etc. to be configured 
by options?
Because all these \in \at \about ... give back different things (a 
title, a number, a range, a ...) and packaging all that in one macro 
doens't make it cleaner so soon users will then wrap complex calls in 
a macro of their own (which then can clash with some existing name).


Also, the ref mechanism evolved over decades and we're not going to 
drop compatibility.

yes and no:

no : there is not something buil tin
yes: one can write some hack in a few lines

but instead of posting such a hack (which then will a live of its own) 
i'll add a feature:


\pagereference[column:#1]

\doifelsereferencefound{column:#1}{\number\referencecolumnnumber}{}

in the next beta,

Hans


Thanks for implementing this, but I am afraid it does not work properly, 
at least not if there are several targets following one after another.


Consider this example:


\setupcolumns[
    n=2,
]
\setuplinenumbering[
    step=5,
    method=page,
]

\def\Lab#1{%
\pagereference[#1]%
\pagereference[column:#1]%
\someline[#1]%
}

\def\Ref#1{
page \at[#1],
column \doifelsereferencefound{column:#1}{\number\referencecolumnnumber}{},
line \inlinerange[#1].
}

\starttext
\startcolumns
\startlinenumbering

REFERENCES:\par
A: \Ref{A}\par
B: \Ref{B}\par
C: \Ref{C}\par
D: \Ref{D}\par
E: \Ref{E}\par
F: \Ref{F}\par
\input lorem
TARGETS:
\Lab{A} A,
\Lab{B} B,
\Lab{C} C.
\input lorem
TARGETS:
\Lab{D} D,
\Lab{E} E,
\Lab{F} F.
\input lorem

\stoplinenumbering
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

As you will see, targets A, B and C are all in the first column, and 
targets D, E and F are all in the second column. But the references read 
as follows:


A: page 1, column 1, line 29.
B: page 1, column 1, line 29.
C: page 1, column 2, line 29.
D: page 1, column 2, line 14.
E: page 1, column 3, line 14.
F: page 1, column 3, line 14.


Best regards,
Oliver




At least, I would need to get some value that tells me whether the 
target is in the left or in the right column. How to achieve this?


This is the more simplified version of the my previous question 
cited below.


Best regards,
Oliver.

You’re welcome!
I’m working on my ConTeXt book as well as two books typeset with ConTeXt, so I 
use the wiki a lot. If I see something’s wrong or missing, I change that – if 
it’s not too much work, that is: Therefore, columns are a big todo.

[NTG-context] Options for \column (was: Columns with non-equal width; nested columns)

[Procházka Lukáš Ing .]

Hello,

I extended the "Description" section at 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/column#Description by an incomplete list of 
options.


Please try it and report back, i.e. document it in the wiki. Someone has to do 
it…


The only effect I can see is when I use \column (= go to next column) and 
\column[last] (go to last column);
just guessing what other options mean;
and no idea what [3*5] does.


I only ever used plain \column.


So did I. And I tried \column[last] this time, too.

So - anyone with better knowledge to fill meaning of the unknown \column 
options?

BTW, what effect has using \column more times than \startcolumns[n=...] 
predicts?

Best,

Lukas

NB: I've noticed many changes on wiki 
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:RecentChanges) in last days issued by 
you, Hraban, so thank you for maintaining wiki.



Maybe the source helps further:

[NTG-context] Extracting a column from an array in lua

[Otared Kavian]

Hi,

Probably this is a silly question… 
In lua, I have an array named  t which is determined in a piece of lua code, 
having (say) two columns and I want to extract for example the first column of 
t and call the new array tt.
In Matlab, Scilab and friends, this can done by saying tt = t[:,1].

Is this possible in lua?
For the moment I have something like this, but I think it is not a good 
approach:

\starttext
\startluacode
t = {}  -- a silly example of a matrix...
for i = 1, 3 do
t[i] = {}
t[i]["columnOne"] = 10*i + 1
t[i]["columnTwo"] = 10*i + 2
end
tt = {}
for i = 1,3 do -- is it possible to avoid this ?
tt[i] = t[i]["columnOne"]
    end
\stopluacode

The first column of the array  \type{t} is: 
\ctxlua{context.print(tt," ; ")}
\stoptext

Many thanks for any help,
Best regards: OK

Re: [NTG-context] Cross references to column numbers

[Oliver von Criegern]

Dear list members,

is there any way to get a cross reference to a column in a two column 
layout?


At least, I would need to get some value that tells me whether the 
target is in the left or in the right column. How to achieve this?


This is the more simplified version of the my previous question cited below.

Best regards,
Oliver.

[NTG-context] line numbering disappears in custom column layout

[Damien Thiriet]

Hi,



Line numbering disappears when called inside custom columns defined with
defineparagraph.

This works fine

\defineparagraphs[Colonne][n=2]
\starttext
\startlinenumbering 
\input knuth
\stoplinenumbering

\input knuth
\stoptext

Whereas this does not work as expected

\defineparagraphs[Colonne][n=2]
\starttext
\startColonne
\startlinenumbering 
\input knuth
\stoplinenumbering
\Colonne

\input knuth
\stopColonne
\stoptext

Playing with \setuplinenumbering (location=text and so on) didn't help.
Maybe this has to do with setting margins in defineparagraphs, but I
can't figure out how to do it.

Greetings,


Damien Thiriet

[NTG-context] Cross references to column numbers

[Oliver von Criegern]

Dear list members,

how can I create cross references to column numbers?

I have a two column layout with column numbers in the header instead of 
page numbers (actually, these column numbers are calculated from the 
page numbers). Now I want to create a cross reference that returns the 
column number of the target. How can I achieve this?


Of course, I can get the page number with \pagereference (for the 
target) and \at (for the reference), but for calculating the column 
number (according to what I did in the header), I would also need to 
know whether the target is in the left or in the right column, and I 
can't see how I can get this information.


For an example, see the question posted by me at stackexchange:

I want it to automatically add the word "line" or something else before 
the number, otherwise I have to use \inlinerange. It took me some time 
to find that out. Wouldn't it be easier to have just one command for the

Re: [NTG-context] white space after a float in a column

[Sytse Knypstra]

Hi all,

In my recent question I had overlooked the possibility of using
\startplaceintermezzo

\stopplaceintermezzo
and inserting a \blank before the \stopplaceintermezzo.

Sorry for this stupid mistake and the noise.

[NTG-context] white space after a float in a column

[Sytse knyps...@home.nl]

Dear list members,

I am struggling with floats in a two-column layout. I understand that there are 
three up-to-date mechanisms for columns: columnsets, pagecolumns and pagegrids.

However, in neither setup I succeed in producing some extra vertical whitespace 
after the float if a caption is omitted (i.e. location=none in \setupcaption).

My example:



\definepapersize[square21][width=21cm,height=21cm]

\setuppapersize[square21][square21]

\definecolumnset[Two][n=2]

\setupcolumnset[Two]

\setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none,spaceafter=1cm]
 % no value for 
spaceafter seems to work
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]

\setupframedtexts[frame=on,corner=round,width=local]

\setuplayout[grid=yes]

\starttext

\startcolumnset[Two]

\input knuth \par

   \placeintermezzo[bottom][]{}

\startframedtext

\input tufte \par

\stopframedtext

   \input knuth \par

\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

If 'columnset' is replaced everywhere by 'pagecolumns' or by 'pagegrid' through 
a find-and-replace operation, the result remains identical.

Is it possible to insert more vertical white space after the intermezzo?

A secondary remark: \placeintermezzo always puts the framed text at the top of 
the next column, no matter whether the parameter is top or bottom. But this is 
not a big deal.

Re: [NTG-context] Nested Column Layout

[Oliver von Criegern]

Hello Walter,

seems to me something which could be done using columnsets. (But I 
didn't use them yet.)


See here:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Column_Sets

And in the manual
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf
see especially the examples on pages 11 and 13-14.

Best regards, Oliver.

Instead of doing what I described, it made the contents of that inner

[NTG-context] In a two column layout, activate line numbering for one column only

[Oliver von Criegern]

Dear list members,

I am trying to recreate a layout for some dictionary with ConTeXt. It is 
a two column layout with line numbering between the columns, that is, 
there is only one numbering for both columns. How can I do this with 
ConTeXt?


I would need either an option to activate line numbering only for one 
column, which, as far as I can see, does not exist; or I could use the 
"command" option for "\setuplinenumbering" to make the line numbers 
dissappear for one column, but then I would need some way to decide 
whether a line number belongs to the first or to the second column, some 
command that returns to me the number of the actual column, which I 
can't find, too.


For illustration, I give a minimal example:


||\setuppapersize[A4][A4]\setupbodyfont[9pt]||
|||\setupcolumns[n=2, distance=1cm, ]\setuplinenumbering[step=5, 
method=page, location=right, align=flushright, 
width=.25cm]\starttext\startcolumns\startlinenumbering\dorecurse{10}{\inputlorem}\par\stoplinenumbering\stopcolumns\stoptext|||



In the result, there are (as is to be expected) line numbers between 
both columns and also to the right of the second column. How can I get 
rid of the latter ones?


(For the pdf result see also: 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/501269/context-how-to-have-line-numbering-in-a-two-column-layout-for-one-column-only).

Oliver.

If I want to set the space between columns in a MathML , how do I

Minimal non-working example below (set the attribute columnspacing to
anything you like and it seems to be ignored). Is this a bug or is there a
feature I've missed?

\usemodule[mathml]

[NTG-context] Wrong breaks in footnote for column texts

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi Hans,

as mentioned a few times by others long footnote entries have problems 
with line breaks.


In mixed columns you get a single line for each entry and in page 
columns the width for the entries is wrong.


\starttext

\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }

\page

\startmixedcolumns
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }
\stopmixedcolumns

\page

\setupnote[footnote][alternative=columns,n=2]

\startpagecolumns
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }
\stoppagecolumns

\stoptext

[NTG-context] mix two-column and single-column footnotes

[Mohammad Hossein Bateni]

Hi,

Is it possible to mix two-column and single-column footnotes?

Here's my use case.  I have two types of footnotes:
1) short one- or two-word terms
2) long descriptions and notes

On some pages there are a lot of "short" footnotes which take up a lot of
space at the bottom of the page.  I'd like to typeset them in 2 or 3
columns.  But then the "long" footnotes had better stay in one column.

See below for desired input and output.

Thanks,
~MHB

Sample input:

\definenote[shortfootnote][...,n=3]
\definenote[longfootnote][...,n=1]
\definenotation[shortfootnote][...]
\definenotation[longfootnote][...]
\starttext
\shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short}
\longfootnote{This is a long footnote which spans the entire width of the
page.}
\shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short}
\longfootnote{Another "long" footnote.}
\longfootnote{Note that footnotes 5, 6 used only two out of three available
columns.}
\stoptext


Desired output:

__
1 short  2 short   3 short
4 This is a long footnote which spans
the entire width of the page.
5 short  6 short
7 Another "long" footnote.
8 Note that footnotes 5, 6 used only
two out of three available columns.

You could also evaluate the conditional purely in MetaPost.  I don't
know if that would be faster, but it's a bit more readable to me.

ConTeXt are you using?

On my installation of context, columns are still coming out "ugly" as you will
see in the PDF t1.pdf.  In t2.pdf you'll see the problem shows up in the table
labelled "Good".  The "Good" refers to the row in bold, not to the row above
it.

[NTG-context] table making ugly column sizes, how to fix?

[David Walther]

Full example at the bottom.

I'm making a table.  So far so good.

Every so often I want to make something like a section header.

Regular table rows are like this:

\bTR\bTC \eTC\bTC NightShift \eTC\bTC Tension Lines 146 - 150 \eTC\eTR

For the section headers, I do this, and they look the way I want:

\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC[nc=2,align=center,style=] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR

But then the regular lines have ugly line breaks and suddenly the column size 
of column 3 is squeezed.  This shouldn't be, we have the whole page to work 
with.

So, when I do my section headers this way, the columns come out sized nicely, 
but the section header isn't styled the way I want it:

\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC\eTC \bTC[align=center] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR

Below is my minimal example you can cut and paste.  How do I do the section
headers without messing up the column sizing?

If you are not scared of plain TeX macros, you can use \valign.

Re: [NTG-context] Construct tables column after column

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi,

This is a funny bit of synchronicity. I made exactly the same request 
for extreme tables (\startxtable) during the ConTeXt meeting. Would
xtables work for you as well? It would be easier for Hans to set it up
in that because a) bTABLE is ‘like html’ which would not allow a swap
like that and b) xtable has explicits command for rows and cells, but 
not columns, so that could be added without any extra effort and confusion.

Best wishes,
Taco

[NTG-context] Construct tables column after column

[Jan Willem Flamma]

Dear list members,

Table are constructed row after row like in the code below:

Building up a table row after row
\par
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTC Row 1, Column 1 \eTC
\bTC Row 1, Column 2 \eTC
\eTR
\bTR
\bTC Row 2, Column 1 \eTC
\bTC Row 2, Column 2 \eTC
\eTR
\eTABLE

But is it possible to construct tables column after column?
(The code below does not generate output. I merely switched the xTC and xTR to 
illustate the idea)

Building up a table column after column
\par
\bTABLE
