[NTG-context] Re: Figure reference failing
Hm, I see.
This question appeared while using the tug-boat-style. Taking the example at
the end of the style I adapted my article accordingly. However I missed the
point to enable the mode “columns”…
Thanks for the explanation!

[NTG-context] Re: can we do binding correction?
Hi Hraban, I think we should clarify this. Binding correction is a fixed amount of whitespace in the spine added to the inner white-space. This is to ensure, that the binding, which is consuming white-space, keeps the inner white-space optically as intended.. The page shift mechanism works only with imposition enabled. This ensures, that the type-setting area does not creep towards the spine because multiple sheets of paper are folded in the spine. I doubt whether it is enough to have the measure of the thickness do determine this creeping effect, because we are making folds which are probably more circles than just adding thickness of paper.

Re: [NTG-context] Numbering of figures after defining a new float
Hi Hraban, thanks for your answer, however this is not precisely what I am talking about. If you have 3 figures in chapter 1, you want them to be numbered as 1.1 , 1.2 , 1.3. However with floats defined with \definefloat[Afigure][Afigures][figure] they all get solely the chapter number: 1.

[NTG-context] Numbering of figures after defining a new float
Hello everybody,
I am still working on the previously mentioned project, consisting out of
different parts. There are about 25 chapters in each part and most of the
chapters contain figures. When using the predefined figure environment, then
all figures in the figure-list are placed correctly though at each part the
numbering restarts.
Now I tried to implement for each part its own float environment, which enables
me to produce a figure-list per part with subtitels. How ever in the newly
defined floats there is no continuous numbering i.e.
chapternumber.serialnumber. Instead each float get the chapter number only.
How to get the numbering right?
Kind regards
Willi

[NTG-context] How to prefix the list of figures with part number?
Hello again,
My project has different parts. Each part contains a whole list of figures. At
the beginning of the book I would like to place a list of all figures. Hoever
they should be prefixed with the part number. I can not figure out how to
achieve this.
May be someone can hint me…

[NTG-context] \writetolist not writing the number to the TOC
Good evening!
I have a setup in which I need to send info to the TOC:
Consider the following example:
\starttext
\starttitle[title=Contents]
\placelist[chapter][criterium=all]
\stoptitle
\startchapter[title=Mychapter]
\input knuth
\startsubject[title=Subject will be in TOC]
\writetolist[chapter]{1}{I am in TOC!}
\input ward
\stopsubject
\stopchapter
\stoptext
According to the Wiki I should get te number (1) in the TOC. Instead the text
starts at the height of the chapter-numbering and is not carrying the given
number.
Am I doing something wrong?
Kind regards
Willi

Hello everybody,
in my project is a table which does not fit the width of the page. Hence I need
to rotate it. Rotating the table is ok, but the caption is not rotated. My
question is how can I instruct ConTeXt to rotate the caption and place it on
the right side?
My attempt:

I should place two faily simple formulae next to each other, they should be
coupled by ‘or’. What I have now is, that the formulae indeed are next to each

[NTG-context] A new version of the PocketDiary module and a collection of examples for creating calenders
Hi everybody, I uploaded a new version of the PocketDiary module to the ConTeXt garden. The version 2.2 is providing the calendar functionality as it is presented in PocketMods (https://pocketmod.com/). It includes day, week, month and year tables. There are two variations of the outcome. The first is that the module creates a week calendar with eahc working day on one page and the weekend on one page. The other version allows to setup an individual setup of the pages. This module also comes with a couple of templates for general information keeping. The new version includes also sun and moon data calculations. The latest version now calculates the Daylight Saving Time automatically for America and Europe or none if desired. Next to this I uploaded a collection of calendars based on the PocketDiary module’s machinery. These calendars are typeset either as A6 or A5 sized pages printed on A4 paper and impositioned for making books.. There is also a photo-calender on A4 paper. Calendar types included are: year calendar with 1 day per page, year calendar with 1 week on two facing pages, a menu calendar and a sun and moon data calendar. Also included in this collection is a so called date-driven list generator. This allows to produce lists with any kind of date interval in days for any duration. It allows to adjust the number of columns in the list as well as changing the column heads to the requirements of the list. I hope that some of you might find this helpful.

Re: [NTG-context] New c-o-w: The XMas gift for ConTeXt users
Hi Zdeněk! Congratulation, the online version, the web-site looks very nice. you have built in a lot of nice features! I tried the interface for a short while. During testing I was thrown out each time and you do not understand why. — Does this have to do with the fact that I did not create a user-account? While creating a tabulate I detected, that the use of the tab-key is only possible at the beginning of the line. When using the tab-key inside a tabulate line the whole line is indented for another tab. While it is nice to see all the available command-choices it is rather less intuitive, that always the brackets are placed. Specially while editing \bTABLE … \eTABLE and the commands belonging to this table-type it could be good to have the right arrow key to have the command placed with brackets and with the down-arrow-key the command being placed without brackets (?) — I think, that the source should not be cluttered with empty brackets all over the place. When you start the editor from the website you have no idea, what the layout of the page will be. While being somewhere in the edited text I switched to the layout-wizzard. Strange enough it is A4 on A3-Paper, I think for a normal user it should be A4 on A4 paper. The default layout dimension is in pt. — I doubt whether this is the best for a newcomer. May be mm would be better? — After returning to the editor I detected, that the new layout is placed at the cursor's position. Might it be a good idea, to place this at the top of the document or probably to ask the user whether the layout change should be placed at the cursor’s place? In the meantime I also created an account. — Strange that I have to confirm the account to an e-mail, which does not make any reference to what account this confirmation is asked for. Nice is that now I was not kicked out of the editor anymore! While testing further I experienced, that the system is eating up a letter: \blank[small] —> caused a sequence undefined error: in the log there was \blank[smal … Hereafter I put a space after small and it worked correctly. Then I withdrew the space, saved the file and started generation of PDF. — got a hanger… After restarting everything it appeared, that my test file was not listed in the editor’s left pane and also not the two uploaded picture-files. — I tried to logout. Logout does not seem to work. Not withstanding all my comments, I am impressed how your system works. Once it will be stable I am convinced, that it can be a useful tool to promote the use of ConTeXt. Thank you for all the work performed so far!

Re: [NTG-context] startTEXpage on A4
I would suggest the approach of Wolfgang because the standard setting of
\framed(texts)’ width is fit and the height setting can be changed to this too.
Further I would suggest to use an overlay and a Metafun graphic for the
cut-indicators.
\defineoverlay[Cutpointstight][\useMPgraphic{Cutpointstight}]
\startuniqueMPgraphic{Cutpointstight}
path p;
p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight;
draw ulcorner p;
draw urcorner p;
draw llcorner p;
draw lrcorner p;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\framedtext
[height=fit,
align={lohi,center},
background=Cutpointstight,
foregroundcolor=black,
frame=off,
offset=3pt]

Can you be more concrete what your goal is, there are a few ways to solve

Re: [NTG-context] How to setup a headertext in a doublesided document in a cld?
Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for your respons!
Tonight I prepared a simplified version of the issue. It appears, that the
header as I set it up in my previous mail works correclty on odd and even
pages. However the struggle is, that after setting up the header on a odd page,
there follows a table which is split over two pages. Now on the even page there
is no header. So the question is how to convince cld to setup the header when
the table is split ….
I attach my “minimal” example, which shows the problem.
Kind regards

Re: [NTG-context] How to place "Content" and other chapter-level titles the same vertical distance from the top?
Hi Joel,
I think you can achieve what you want by using \placelist[chapter,section]
instead of \completecontent. Then you can start the TOC by
\startchapter[Content] \placelist…. \stopchapter. The same approach can be used
for other lists/indexes.
Kind regards

Re: [NTG-context] placing (on) layers
Hi Hraban,
if you flush a layer like in your example, then the layer is attached to the
left top of the text area. If you want to place it in another place, you will
have to move it by x and y dimensions to the right place in the first brackets
of the \setlayerframed command . — What would be possible is to attach the
layer as a background to one of the different areas of the paper.
I hope this gives you a hint how to proceed..

[NTG-context] TeXworks on Linux
Good evening! Currently I am trying to test different editors on a Linux-box. — Tonight I installed TeXworks. Now I wanted to change the editor to use ConTeXt LMTX.

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter number retrieval
Hello Adam,
What I am actually using (at least basically) is the code given in the second
example on the wiki. So this moving graphic is not the problem. The problem
lays in the fact, that I need the chapter number for calculating the position
of the graphic along the outer edge of the page. — Because the book in question
is a dictionary, it is not nice to have the chapter titles numbered, because it
is only the letter of the alphabet. If I turned off the numbering, I lost the
possibility to retrieve the chapter number. Through the definition of a new
command \ChapterTitle, ignoring the first argument (which is the number) the
title gets typeset without the number, but the number is still available in the
TOC or as in my case for the calculation.
Thank you for your support and help!

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter number retrieval
Hello Adam!
Many thanks for your solution. — It works very well in your example and also in
an extended version with \startfrontmatter..\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter…\stopbodymatter. — Unfortunately It does not work to my wish
in the actual setup of my book. — I am using now the solution presented by
Sreeram.
Again thank you so much!
Kind regards
Willi

Hello Sreeram!
What a nice and simple solution. After fiddling a bit I got it working also in
my environment for the book! — Thank you so much for the support.

Hoi Wolfgang!
thank you for your suggestion. Your example indeed works. However if I apply
this to my situation, which is
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodymatter]
\setups{Thumb-pictures}
\stopsectionblockenvironment
nothing happens. I.e. I get no error, but also no picture, indicating, that the
\setups command is not executed..

[NTG-context] Metafun, difficulty with graphical element in the margin, again.
Hello,
I am a little desperate… I have installed in a new directory the latest version
of ConTeXt.
I run the sample file I provided before. After enabling a second
chapter-section before the \setups{Thumb-picture} the metafun error reoccurs. —
Looking at the log I do net get really wiser, lacking the background of the
implementation…
So here follows the section of the log with the error:
metafun > log >

Re: [NTG-context] Metafun, difficulty with graphical element in the margin
Hello Otared,
thanks so much for your testing and comments. — Tthe problem is, that this
thumb-picture should only be placed in the \startboydmatter..\stopbodymatter
sections. In the case of this book however there are the title pages and quite
some text including the TOC in the \startfrontmatter..\stopfrontmatter. SO I
end up with being forced to invoke the setups at the beginning of the
bodymatter.
Thanks!

[NTG-context] Metafun, difficulty with graphical element in the margin
Good evening! I have a dictionary where I would like to include thumb-pictures in the margin. — When I use the attached code with a single \startchapter...\stopchapter, it works.

[NTG-context] Force a hyphenation
Hi, at the moment I am dealing with a German text. Although I have \mainlanguage[de] in the preamble the word 'des Eiweißes' is hyphenated as 'des Eiwei-ßes'. Of course this should be 'des Eiweis-ses'. How can I make sure that ConTeXt is hyphenating this corerctly?

Hello again,as I was preparing today another old document with literature references. Hereby I came across another glitch in the bibliography environment.When replacing the field \number{} in the \startpublication…\stoppublication ( bbl file) with \volume{} it appears, that there is no comma after the journal name in the list of publications.I tried to find out where these glitches in the source happen, however that was in vain.I hope that these issues can be fixed in due timeKind regardsWilli

Re: [NTG-context] How to use a variable in a macro agrument
May be \useexternalfigure is your friend instead of your \define[]\logofile{},
which allows you to give a symbolic name of the logo-file. This symbolic name
you can use then in the setlayer construct.

Re: [NTG-context] A Metafun-Problem
Hi, Ok, changing the unitsquare into fullsquare is giving a better result, however it is still not the right drawing. I realise, that in this case probably the use of a vector in this way is not appropriate. — I have changed the drawing into something with rotating the top-line of the rectangle around the corner. If I am correct, then this is the right drawing. Thank you again for your answer, it made me see the culprit correctly!

Re: [NTG-context] A Spanish introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
Good evening Joaquin, first of all congratulations for your initiative, this is really an impressive piece of work! Without wanting to critisize I think, that in general MKIV documents should be made up with \start”elment” … \stop”element”. This will be important for all those, who also need to produce xml. I encountred two things in your book: page 96 at the bottom. You write that the “height” is header + headerdistance + textheight + bottomdistance + bottom. This should be footerdistance and footer. — The graphic showing the areas however is correct. page 139 at the top: \chapter[title=…,reference=..]. This should be \startchapter[title=…,reference=…] … \stopchapter Again, thank you for all your work! — Sorry “no hablo Espaniol”… Saludos cordiales Willi > On 14 Oct 2020, at 06:27, Joaquín Ataz López wrote: > > Sorry.
