[NTG-context] The best command for parallel texts

[Martin Hasoň]

Hi all,

I need to type parallel text on double columns. I've tried paragraphs,
tabulate, table and column environments. The best result of these options
gives the tabulate. Unfortunately, it does not respect alignment - many
\hbox errors in all environments except columns :(. What should I use and
set up?

\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\defineparagraphs[TwoLang][n=2]
\setuptabulate[split=yes]
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch]

\starttext

\startTwoLang
\input lorem
\nextTwoLang
\input davis
\stopTwoLang

\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC\input lorem
\NC\input davis
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate

\bTABLE[frame=off,align=yes,split=yes]
\bTR
\bTD[roffset=2mm]\input lorem\eTD
\bTD[loffset=2mm]\input davis\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE

\startcolumns[n=2]
\input lorem
\column
\input davis
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Best regards
Martin Hasoň

Re: [NTG-context] Referencing footnotes by SECTION

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi Idris,

you can enable the display of chapter numbers with the prefix-key:

\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [prefix=yes,
  %prefixsegments=chapter,
   way=bychapter]

Dear gang,

When referencing footnotes that reset each chapter, is there a way to 
include the chapter information? See attached and below:


===
\setuphead[chapter]   [alternative=normal,conversion=R]
\setuphead[subsection][alternative=text]
\setuphead[subsection][distance=0em,
   textdistance=0.7em,
   sectionstopper=.,
   criterium=local]

\setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter]

\setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default]
   [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace]

\setupwhitespace[big]
\starttext

\startchapter[title={First},reference={}]
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference1}]
\input ward
\startfootnote[footnote1]
\input ward
\stopfootnote{}

See \in{Footnote}[footnote2].
\stopsubsection
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference2}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\stopchapter

\startchapter[title={Second}]
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference3}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference5}]
\input ward
\startfootnote[footnote2]
\input ward
\stopfootnote{}

See \in{Footnote}[footnote1].
\stopsubsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
===

If line 8 is commented -
\setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter]
- we get what we expect. But if line 8 is activated, we get an 
ambiguity: Both references give back


 "Footnote 1"

Whereas what we would like is something like this:

 Footnote  I.1

i.e., Chapter I, Footnote 1 - for the first footnote; and

 Footnote II.1

i.e., Chapter II, Footnote 1 - for the second footnote.

Is there a straightforward way to do this?

[[Of course, for the roman chapter numbering we also run into the 
reference-numberconversionset issue of the other thread, where


\definestructureconversionset[OLIE][n,R,n,n,n,n][n]
\setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default]
   [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace,
numberconversionset=OLIE]

doesn't seem to work.]]

Thank you in advance for any guidance or pointers you can provide!

Best wishes
Idris
