Re: [NTG-context] headers again
Rightly so, and as I was producing such an MWE (stripping away a lot of
other 'clutter') I found what was causing the problem. At one stage,
trying to solve the problem, I had created a MyChapter definition and
had left a command referencing it in the following:
\setuphead
[chapter][header=empty,alternative=middle,style=\tfa,
numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[1cm]},after={\blank[3cm]},command=\MyChapter]
Give that I was now no longer using MyChapter to solve the problem, that
command=\MyChapter was causing a conflict. I removed it and, using your
earlier
\setupheadertexts[\setups{header}]
\startsetups header
\getmarking[chapter]
\stopsetups
and referencing it in the \chapter or \title items, was able to achieve
the desired result in every way, including that missing header on one page.
Thank you.

Almost as perfect as Shakespeare's Juliet! Is there any reason why the
header for the Introduction, done using your approach (it is in
frontmatter), does not produce the header on the last recto page? This
intro consists of 8 pages. Page 7 does not produce the 'Introduction'
header. The other relevant recto pages are all headed 'Introduction' as
they should be.

[NTG-context] headers again
Understandably, with work going on for the new \command pages,
heatwaves, upcoming ConTeXt meeting, people are very busy. I understand
that. In the meantime, I haven't yet found a solution (though I have
tried many) to my own problem, small though it is by comparison. So let
me try again, putting it simply:
Where running heads (headers) are concerned, if I use \chapter I have no
problems, nor should I expect any. But because I am also using \title,
given that I need some unnumbered chapters interspersed among them, I
run into difficulties with headers. Numbered chapters have the correct
headers, unnumbered ones (with \title) either don't have them, or do not
have the proper chapter header (they pick up the header from the
previous numbered chapter).
At the moment the only thing I have in the preamble is the expected set
of commands for the numbered chapters:
[{\hfill\getmarking[chapter]\hfill}][]
[{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][]
I thought that might work for the unnumbered ones (\title), thinking
that maybe \title inherits from \chapter, but it doesn't. But no amount
of variations on the above commands (repeating them but replacing
'chapter' with 'title'; adding [title] or just title, in the first set
of commands in various positions...) gives me the correct result.

wouldn't think so? It produces the correct result, utlimatley, in the
TOC, Is it possible that I may have something else in my preamble that
is causing the problem? If so, I can't expect someone to 'guess' that

[NTG-context] Wiki New Extension Preview
Hi, Some of you already know that I have been working on a wiki extension to control the editing of /Command pages. The goal is to eventually be able to easily export all of the reference documentation in the wiki to a separate system (for instance, Paul Mazaitis plans to create a full-blown reference manual). In the current situation, this is nearly impossible because there is so much variation in the content and quality of the wiki /Command pages (not to mention that many are missing). We also want it to be possible to merge improvements to the interface xml definitions by Wolfgang without loosing any existing documentation work. After some evenings and weekends of steady discussion with Paul, Wolfgang and some others on the wiki mailing list and a fair bit of hacking, this plan is now starting to come together. In short, we will switch to XML as the page model for newly created /Command pages. This makes editing a bit harder, but it allows much better quality control and (fairly) easy export and import. The new extension is not installed on the normal wiki yet, because it makes sense to see if we can get some of the bugs ironed out before we start working on actual /Command pages. It is my first ever Wiki extension and even my first non-trivial php code, thus I am certain there will be bugs. So, while the documentation pages are already on the normal wiki, any testing and/or experimenting has to be done on the test wiki. The documentation pages are here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Help:Command https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Extension:ConTeXtXML and there is a small todo list here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/User_talk:Taco For playing around / experimenting / testing, have fun at https://wikitest.contextgarden.net/ (but read at least Help:Command first!) A useful landing page on the test wiki to start playing around is: https://wikitest.contextgarden.net/Allcommands which is a list of all the commands that are included in Wolfgang’s interface xml (and thus available to be documented using the new wiki extension). All the bright red links are currently undocumented commands. Clicking on one should bring you to the edit screen automatically, with a blob of XML preloaded, ready for you to start writing. All the dark red links are existing /Command pages. Almost all of those are traditional wiki text pagse. Following those links will bring you to a normal /Command page just like on the main wiki. If you want to see how one of those pages would look like in the new system, you’ll have to rename the existing page first. Be assured that nothing on the wikitest is permanent! As long as the browser url says “ https://wikitest.contextgarden.net/ ” you cannot destroy anything important. But don’t spend hours improving existing pages yet, this preview is intended for catching bugs in the extension only. Comments, Suggestions and Bug reports are more than welcome. Please direct those to me personally or (better) to the wiki mailing list: https://lists.contextgarden.net/mailman/listinfo/wiki Have fun!

[NTG-context] \setfirstline is applied to whole paragraph
When I typeset the example at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefirstline (reported below for your convenience), \setfirstline is applied to the whole first paragraph, which is laid out on a single line (hence, it is cropped at the edge of the page). Besides, the second \setfirstline is not applied at all, i.e., there are no small caps. If I comment out the first \setfirstline, then the second one does produce small caps, but again, a whole paragraph is set in small caps, not just the first line. $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /Users/nicola/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2020.08.11 15:59 mtx-context | main context file: /Users/nicola/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2020.08.11 15:59 Nicola \setupbodyfont [heros] %% important: smallcaps capable font! \definefirstline [italicfirstline] [ alternative=line, style=italic, ] \definefirstline [smallcapsfirstline] [ alternative=line, color=darkred, style=smallcaps, ] \starttext % \setfirstline[italicfirstline]\input knuth \par \setfirstline[smallcapsfirstline] \input knuth \par \stoptext ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
