[NTG-context] Learning layers: setlayer vs. setlayerframed
Hello!
Based on a discussion with Hans at the ConTeXt meeting I'm starting to
migrate my book covers from CorelDraw to ConTeXt using layers.
After a bit of experimenting I managed to achieve my first layer, but
looking at the examples on the wiki page, I'm wondering: what's the
difference between \setlayer and \setlayerframed.
Is the latter a subset of the first and possibly equal to
\setlayer [name] % name of the layer
{\framed[...=...,...=...]{LAYER}} % the actual contents of the layer
or something else?
And which one should I use, anyway? I need to put a bit of text and a
bit of graphics onto the pages, but nothing complicated, just boxes.
But as I'm starting from zero, it would be nice to know what's the
smartest way of doing it (on the moment).
I'm running the newest or at least almost newest beta of ConTeXt and
can update if needed.
Thanks,
Mari

Yes, this is more or less the definition of \setlayerframed.
And which one should I use, anyway? I need to put a bit of text and a

For the graphics you can use \setlayer but \setlayerframed is better when
you a longer text which should be broken into lines.

Re: [NTG-context] Some more ToC questions

Thanks to the great expertise of folk on this mailgroup, I have my chapter
headings set so that each one comes out as
Chapter n
Name of Chapter
However, I have a few more questions. First: if I use completecontent to
display the contents, how can I have the Contents title display without my
Chapter line? That is, is there a way of turning off my chapter command
temporarily? (I've found that title doesn't work here: If I use
\title{Contents} \placecontent I still get a Chapter line.)
Second: I'm writing out a book of student notes, and each chapter ends with a
set of exercises. I'd like these exercises to be typeset as unnumbered
sections (subjects), and appear so in the ToC. Like:
4.4 Second last section
4.5 Last section
Exercises
What is the best way of doing this (MkII)? I've tried
\definehead[exercise][section]
\setuphead[exercise][number=no]
\setuplist[exercise][headnumber=no]
but that doesn't work on its own, and when paired with
\definecombinedlist[content][exercise,chapter,section] wipes out the contents
completely.
Any advice (or even pointers to a web page) would be most welcome.
\defineheadplacement[MyChapter][vertical]{\vbox{#1\crlf#2}}
\setuplabeltext[chapter=Chapter ]
\setuphead[chapter][alternative=MyChapter]
\definehead[exercise][subject][incrementnumber=list]
\starttext
\title{Contents}
\placelist[chapter,section,exercise]
\chapter{Chapter}
\section{Section}
\exercise{Exercise}

Re: [NTG-context] Galleries with photos from ConTeXt meetings: any ideas?

I’d suggest public with unguessable URL, like Picasaweb albums, plus limited period. So you can share it with all participants without password, but avoid searchable public display of people who don’t like it. Additionally I’d suggest to keep a few selected pics on a really public site (like news), where every pictured person gave their model release. - In either case I need suggestions about the best option to store photos on new server.

That is for people who don't want to pay for their own server care about maintainance to share just a few nice photos. iPhoto and Picasa are somewhat limited with OS and the person uploading photos.

[NTG-context] Wrong reference number
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this was introduced with the latest beta, but I just realized
that the referencing numbers not right.
\starttext
\chapter{First}

\placefigure[here][fig:a]{}{}
\in{Figure}[fig:b] % should be 1.2
