[NTG-context] Header problem
Dear All I have a problem with a chapter title which I am using as a header. The title's length in the header is such that it extends into the page margin. I would have thought that the text would have stayed within the header area and gone on to a second line but this does not happen. I have been on the wiki looking at the command reference syntax for \setupheader and \setuphead and \setupheadertexts to try and solve this problem but I'm a bit stuck understanding the syntax. Reducing the amount of text in the chapter name isn't an option. Any other suggestions Keith McKay ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Taco et all,
From what I could deduce, our former macro for placeanswers was a
group.
\def\placeanswers{
\bgroup
\doifmodeelse{short}
{
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
\selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
\stopcolumnset
}
{
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
\selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
}
\egroup
}
It occurred at the end of an exercise set like this:
%%% ENDTESTBANK
%%%
\stopquestions
\placeanswers\kern0pt
\stopcomponent
So when the group was finished, the header for the component took
over. Here is the fix I found. I just set new headers for the rest of
the way.
\def\placeanswers{\doifmode{long}{%
\page[yes]
\def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}}
\def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}}
\setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][]}
\bgroup
\doifmodeelse{short}
{
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
\selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
\stopcolumnset
}
{
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
\selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
}
\egroup
}
So now when we compile with:
texmfstart texexec --mode=long,paging section1exercise
We get what we want, which is no page numbers in the headers once the
solutions start. You can see the result at:
http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText2/chapter2/section1solutions.pdf
We have a paging mode and a perl script that syncs the page numbers
at the beginning of this document with the chapter page numbers.
Thanks.

[NTG-context] Header problem in project
Hans et all,
We have a project call book.tex, a product in that called
chapter1.tex, and a component in that called section1exercises.tex.
We have blocks that we save and then place at the end of
section1exercises.tex with a macro defined in our environment file:
\def\placeanswers{%
\bgroup
\doifmodeelse{short}
{
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
\selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
\stopcolumnset
}
{
\def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}}
\def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}}
\setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][]
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
\selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
}
\egroup
}
The else part of the do above is an attempt to define a different
header when we compile with --mode=long, but just for the pages on
which we use \placeanswers. The other pages have a different header
defined in the environment file. Those headers have page numbers as
well with:
\def\headermarkleft{\bold{\pagenumber}\headerskip{\sc\headerskip
Chapter \headnumber[chapter]\headerskip\getmarking[chapter][current]}}
\def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]\headerskip
\getmarking[section][current]}\headerskip\bold{\pagenumber}}
The file section1exercises ends like this:
%%% ENDTESTBANK
%%%
\stopquestions
\placeanswers\kern0pt
\stopcomponent
When we compile section1exercises.tex with texmfstart texexec --
mode=long section1exercises, all is well until the last page, where
the former header is used instead of the header defined in the
\placeanswers macro. But we want to finish out the document from the
point we put the \placeanswers with the second header.
Any suggestions?
