[NTG-context] \setuppagenumbering doublesided generates blank pages

[Kerry Sainsbury]

Hi there,

I am a newbie, and have *seem* to have discovered that

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] generates a blank page
between chapters.


\setupheadertexts[chapter]

\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={header,inmargin}]

\starttext

\startchapter[title={October 2000}]

Blah One

\stopchapter


\startchapter[title={November 2000}]

Blah Two

\stopchapter

\stoptext

This produces a PDF in TeXworks containing 4 pages:

   - Page 1 with a header an 'October 2000' header and 'Blah One' content
   - Page 2 with a header an 'October 2000' header only.
   - Page 3 with a header an 'November 2000' header and 'Blah Two' content
   - Page 4 which is completely blank

If I remove the \setuppagenumbering line the PDF contains just two pages,
with the expected content.

I'm using "ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.11 15:47 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.10.25 int:
english/english"

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a bug?

Thanks for your help. ConTeXt is making my life *much* easier right now!

[NTG-context] A5 != 210mm x 148mm ?

[Kerry Sainsbury]

Hi,

If A5 is 210mm x 148mm (and the internet assures me that it is
), then shouldn't these two setuppapersize
variants give the same result? They don't *seem* to.

%\setuppapersize[A5]

\setuppapersize[height=210mm, width=148mm]


\starttext

\input ward.tex

\stoptext



The reason I ask is because I'd like to prepare a PDF for printing via
IngramSpark, and have discovered that (bizarrely) their Australian branch
doesn't support A5 for colour books. They do offer 6x9 (229x152), and I was
wondering what values to use in 'setuppapersize', so I thought I'd
experiment with the A5 sizing because it's a well known size.


Now I have no idea :-(


Thanks

Kerry

[NTG-context] How to define the font size of the page header?

[Kerry Sainsbury]

Hi Folks,

Sorry for the constant interruptions, but I can't find an answer in any of
the many PDFs or webpages I can find.

How do I define the font size of the page header? If I'm not using a custom
font, I can call \switchbodyfont prior to calling \setuplayouttext, which,
if I'm honest, seems weird, but it doesn't work if I use a custom font. eg:

\definefontfamily [dejavu] [serif] [DejaVu Serif]

\definefontfamily [dejavu] [sans] [DejaVu Sans]


% Uncomment this and the page header font size drops dramatically.

% \setupbodyfont[dejavu]


% This seems to define the size of the page header, if \setpbodyfont is not
called.

\switchtobodyfont[50pt]


\setuplayouttext

[header][text]

[

style=small,

middletext=Page Header,

righttext=\pagenumber,

rightstyle=bold

]


\switchtobodyfont[8pt]


\starttext

\input ward.tex

\stoptext



I half expected the 'style' property to be involved in this, but I can't
get that to do anything either :-(


How do I define the font size in a page header defined using
\setuplayouttext ?


Thanks!

Kerry

Re: [NTG-context] How to define the font size of the page header?

[Kerry Sainsbury]

Hi Pablo,

Thanks for the response. I used \setuplayouttext specifically because it
supports the 'middletext' property (despite the fact that it doesn't seem
to be documented! I found 'middletext' in an August posting from Hans Hagen
( https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg91755.html )

Anyway, thanks to your prodding I have resolved the problem. I hadn't
realised that the calls to \setupheadertexts were cumulative. ie: I can
just do this:

\setupheadertexts[My Page Header]

\setupheadertexts[][pagenumber]


It seems odd that I can't explicitly specify a font size, but that's fine
\tfxx will just have to do.


Thanks again.

Kerry


PS: I promise the dumb questions will stop soon :-)

[NTG-context] How to sort list of sections?

[Kerry Sainsbury]

Hi Folks,

If sections are just lists, and lists can be sorted, how can I sort a list
of sections?
My actual goal is to generate an 'index' that is made up of section
headings.
Here's my attempt that does not work.


\setuphead[section][number=no ]


% This was a guess at how I might be able to sort sections. I was wrong :-)

\definesorting[section][sections]

\setupsorting[sections][criterium=all]


% I thought something like this might work too

\definesorting[wahs]

\definesorting[wah][wahs][\getmarking[section]][\getmarking[section]]


\starttext

placelist (not sorted, as you would expect):

\placelist[section]

\blank


placelistofsorts (doesn't render anything. My guess was wrong)

\placelistofsorts[wahs]


Sections start here:

\startsection[title={Beta}]

Hello


\startsection[title={Alpha}]

World

\stoptext



Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.

Re: [NTG-context] How to sort list of sections?

[Kerry Sainsbury]

Thanks Hans. For the sake of any future users who may have stumbled across
this post I want to point out that if you want the list of sections to
appear at the *end *of your document you need to use "criterium=previous"


\placelist[section][criterium=previous,order=title]

[NTG-context] Thank you

[Kerry Sainsbury]

ConTeXt is not causing me any problems. I just wanted to thank the
developers for creating such a useful tool, and for providing such
excellent support.

I have just received copies of my 730 page hard cover book that chronicles
part of my immediate family's life together, created by programmatically
converting Libre Office documents to ConTeXt, and a bit of manual tweaking.

It would never have been possible to produce such a book in such a short
time without a tool like ConTeXt, and, unfortunately, time is short for me.

Thank you again for making it possible to create such an important book for
me and my family.
