Re: [NTG-context] Line numbering in two column layout conflicts with marking
Using \definepagecolumns[xyz][n=2] instead of \setupcolumns[n=2] and \startpagecolumns[xyz] etc. instead of \startcolumns etc. seems to do what I want, except that the columns of the last page aren't balanced any more. Anyway, pagecolumns seems to be experimental. The manual says "Don't use page columns in production".

read as follows:

Re: [NTG-context] Cross-reference expansion with ConTeXt and processing with LuaTeX
Many thanks for your response, but unfortunately it does not solve my
problem. In your solution, var in TestVarB is the identifier of the
reference, which is "1", but I need the value of the reference, that is,
the number of the line where the \someline command is being called,
which is "31" or so. I want to access the value in Lua to do some
calculations on it before returning the result to TeX.

[NTG-context] Cross-reference expansion with ConTeXt and processing with LuaTeX
Dear list members,
I want to process cross-references in ConTeXt/LuaTeX, that is, to do
some calculations in Lua with the page and line numbers returned by the
\at and \inlinerange commands.
But this does not work, as these commands are obviously not being
expanded before they are passed to Lua.
Here is a minimal example:
|\setupreferencing[state=start]||\definenumber[test]\setnumber[test][5]\startluacodefunction
TestVar(var)print('VARIABLE: ')print(var)tex.print(var)end
\stopluacode\def\TestLua#1{\ctxlua{TestVar([==[#1]==])}}% Cf.
https://www.contextgarden.net/Programming_in_LuaTeX\startbuffer[testtext]\dorecurse{100}{Words,
words, words. }\stopbuffer\starttext\startlinenumberingCounter:
\TestLua{\rawcountervalue[test]}\par% The counter is expanded before
being passed to Lua.Lineref: \TestLua{\inlinerange[1]}\par% The line
reference is not expanded before being passed to
Lua.\getbuffer[testtext]\someline[1]LABEL 1 \stoplinenumbering\stoptext|||
\TestLua just passes the argument to the Lua command TestVar, which
prints it to stdout and returns it to TeX. The pdf result looks good at
first glance, showing the correct values as expected, but in stdout we read:
|VARIABLE: 5 VARIABLE: \inlinerange[1] |||
The line reference obviously has not been expanded before but only after
having been passed to the Lua command. Accordingly, when trying to
perform mathematical calculations on it in Lua, there will be an error.
So how can I pass the value of my reference to Lua?
Best regards,
Oliver

[NTG-context] Cross references to column numbers
Dear list members, how can I create cross references to column numbers? I have a two column layout with column numbers in the header instead of page numbers (actually, these column numbers are calculated from the page numbers). Now I want to create a cross reference that returns the column number of the target. How can I achieve this? Of course, I can get the page number with \pagereference (for the target) and \at (for the reference), but for calculating the column number (according to what I did in the header), I would also need to know whether the target is in the left or in the right column, and I can't see how I can get this information. For an example, see the question posted by me at stackexchange: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/502944/context-cross-references-to-column-numbers Besides, I am wondering, regarding the generally very regular and consistent naming of commands in ConTeXt, why this is not so in the case of references. For example, to refer to a page, I need \pagereference (for the target) and \at (for the reference); to refer to a line, I need \someline (for the target) and \inline (for the reference), but only if I want it to automatically add the word "line" or something else before the number, otherwise I have to use \inlinerange. It took me some time to find that out. Wouldn't it be easier to have just one command for the target and another one for the reference, and everything else, as counters and headers to be returned, text to be added etc. to be configured by options?

Re: [NTG-context] Nested Column Layout
Hello Walter, seems to me something which could be done using columnsets. (But I didn't use them yet.) See here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Column_Sets And in the manual http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf see especially the examples on pages 11 and 13-14. Best regards, Oliver. Am 06.08.19 um 00:41 schrieb Walter Mays: Hello all, I am trying to lay out a page that has a 2/3 column split, and then nest another set of 3 columns inside the larger of the two outer columns. In case that's not clear, I've attached a PNG that shows approximately what I would like to achieve. Here's what I've tried: ``` \defineparagraphs[TwoThirds][n=2] \setupparagraphs[TwoThirds][1][width=0.33\textwidth] \starttext \startTwoThirds \input tufte \nextTwoThirds \input tufte \startcolumns[n=3] \input tufte \stopcolumns \stopTwoThirds \stoptext ``` Instead of doing what I described, it made the contents of that inner column very narrow, but does not split it across columns. The \column command seems to have no effect.

[NTG-context] In a two column layout, activate line numbering for one column only
Dear list members,
I am trying to recreate a layout for some dictionary with ConTeXt. It is
a two column layout with line numbering between the columns, that is,
there is only one numbering for both columns. How can I do this with
ConTeXt?
I would need either an option to activate line numbering only for one
column, which, as far as I can see, does not exist; or I could use the
"command" option for "\setuplinenumbering" to make the line numbers
dissappear for one column, but then I would need some way to decide
whether a line number belongs to the first or to the second column, some
command that returns to me the number of the actual column, which I
can't find, too.
For illustration, I give a minimal example:
||\setuppapersize[A4][A4]\setupbodyfont[9pt]||
|||\setupcolumns[n=2, distance=1cm, ]\setuplinenumbering[step=5,
method=page, location=right, align=flushright,
width=.25cm]\starttext\startcolumns\startlinenumbering\dorecurse{10}{\inputlorem}\par\stoplinenumbering\stopcolumns\stoptext|||
In the result, there are (as is to be expected) line numbers between
both columns and also to the right of the second column. How can I get
rid of the latter ones?
(For the pdf result see also:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/501269/context-how-to-have-line-numbering-in-a-two-column-layout-for-one-column-only).
Best regards,
Oliver.
