Re: [NTG-context] margin in TocEntry definition

2021-03-11 Thread jbf
It works, though I'm happy also to have Wolfgang's very simple version! 
I'm learning a lot! I'm a great believer in Occam's Razor - the law of 
parsimony, so the simpler version is the way to go, and my earlier use 
of a TeX hack (\-\) can be put to rest!


Thanks Bruce and thanks Wolfgang.

The problem, you see, is that \startalignment only offers a few key words like 
flushleft, middle etc. and not what I need this time, which is a precise 
indentation feature like .5cm. I suppose my real problem is not being 
sufficiently au fait with how definitions work. I just can't seem to get a 
definition that gives me a result like

Chapter title
author . page number

the \startalignment approach with flushleft would not give me the indentation 
obviously, and middle does not work for what I need, and either of them also 
pushes the page number line down onto the next line, which I don't want. I 
tried \skip .5cm, so:

\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\hskip 
.5cm\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%
}

But the \hskip is ignored at the beginning of a line. I wonder if there is 
something else I can substitute it for?

D'oh! Sorry - completely forgot about the indent.

Best I can come up with at the moment is this - but I'm not sure how to get 
leading dots.

\starttext

\define[3]\SectionToCEntry{
   #2\crlf
   \leftaligned
   \bgroup
 \hskip 0.5cm
 \structurelistuservariable{author}
 \rightaligned

Use \par after the first line (and add \relax after \hskip).

\define[1]}SectionTocEntry
  {#1\par
   \hskip.5cm\relax\doifnot{...}{...}}

Re: [NTG-context] margin in TocEntry definition

2021-03-11 Thread jbf

Re: indented line in TocEntry definition:

I have come up with what is probably an inelegant solution (using \-\ so 
that \hskip is recognised at the beginning of a line), but it works! 
Maybe someone could suggest how to make it more elegant, but for the 
moment, it's all I need!


\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\-\ \hskip 
.5cm\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%

}

There is a very similar previous question that might be what you are looking 
for.


Try that but use 'flushleft' instead of 'middle'.

[NTG-context] margin in TocEntry definition

2021-03-10 Thread jbf

Hi list,

I have:

\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%
  }

which successfully gives me a ToC with:

Chapter title
Author name

But I want the author name indented by .5cm and do not know how to use 
'margin' in the above definition, or some other way of getting the 
indentation. I have tried various versions of 'margin' before the 
\doifnot part of the definition, but to no avail.


Hopefully I can achieve:

Chapter title

 Author name
