[NTG-context] Using variables and macros for styling of section title and line in table of contents
Dear list
I have a document with section headings which include a title, date and
reference spread over two lines with different font style and
justification, plus a slightly different text for the table of contents.
So that I can alter the styling of the section headings without having to
recode each \startsection command, I have used variables and a macro
command for the style.
This works for section 'title' and 'marking', but not for the 'list'
attribute.
The minimal working example below shows what I'm trying to do.
Best wishes and many thanks in advance.
James
\define\mytitle{\getvariable{myvar}{title}\crlf{\tfx\getvariable{myvar}{date}\hfill\getvariable{myvar}{ref}}}
\define\mylist{\getvariable{myvar}{list}---{\bf \getvariable{myvar}{date}}}
\starttext
\completecontent
\setvariables[myvar][
title={What I would like},
date={2020},
ref={Reference No 1},
list={Variation on title},
]
\startsection[title=\mytitle,list={Variation on title---{\bf 2020}}]
Contents line to look like this:
\mylist
\stopsection
\setvariables[myvar][
title={What I get},
date={2021},
ref={Reference No 2},
list={Something for the contents},
]
\startsection[title=\mytitle,list=\mylist]
Contents line to look like this:
\mylist
\stopsection

Re: [NTG-context] \blank space at the top of a page
Many thanks Wolfgang
I tried using force but that caused a problem with aligning to the
grid, not included in my original example, but included below.
I think I have seen \mbox used in this way in Latex, so was trying to
find a quick solution.
James
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\showgrid
\setuphead[chapter][before={\blank[4*big]}]
\starttext
\startchapter[title={No space above this chapter}]
chapter text etc
\stopchapter
\setuphead[chapter][before={\blank[4*big,force]}]
\startchapter[title={Chapter with spacing but out of line with grid}]
chapter text etc
\stopchapter
\setuphead[chapter][before={\blank[4*line,force]}]
\startchapter[title={Chapter with spacing but out of line with grid}]
chapter text etc
\stopchapter
\stoptext

[NTG-context] \blank space at the top of a page
Hello list
I have been trying to find a solution to how to insert blank lines
before a chapter heading at the start of a page. In the following
example the \blank[4*big] is ignored. The solution I've found is to
add an empty box using \mbox{} before the \blank command.
Is this the right way to do it or is there a more elegant way that I
am missing?
Many thanks
James

Re: [NTG-context] No dots in \dotfill with new font
Many thanks Hans. That has made the dots appear. If possible I would like to use the dot from the same font, especially if using a font where full stops are diamond shaped rather than circular. Is there any way to map the dot from the external font so that it can be used by the \dotfill command?

[NTG-context] No dots in \dotfill with new font
Hello I've followed the instructions on the Context Garden wiki to make use of a different font. Unfortunately when using \dotfill the dots do not show up. My minimal example is below. I think this might be because \dotfill takes its dots from the math mode font which I have not set up correctly.
