no packed in current latest (LMTX only)
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Dear list, after updating to current latest (from 2023.09.03 19:03), packed list doesn’t seem to work in LMTX: \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \startitemize[packed] \item item \item item \stopitemize \stopTEXpage \stoptext MkIV gets packed lists just right. Could anyone confirm this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Trimming (rearranging) long section name
by context＠vivaldi.net 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hello, is there a way to alter the section name to be " Specifické požadavky pro předpokládanou technologii stavby (přístupy, přívody el. energie, skladovací plochy, montážní a pomocné plochy, montážní a pomocné konstrukce, ...) " instead of " Specifické požadavky pro předpokládanou technologii stavby (přístupy, přívody el. energie, skladovací plochy, mon- tážní a pomocné plochy, montážní a pomocné konstrukce, ...) " IOW to force the word "stavby" not to cross the right border (see the green vertical line) but to appear on the next line? I played with "strict", "verytolerant" and similar options but they seem not to affect section titles. (MkIV solution preferably.) Best regards, Lukas

Different Layout for First Page
by Jeroen 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

I have a document with the first page in startfrontmatter and all other pages in startbodymatter. The layout setting is as following \setuplayout [backspace=20mm, width=175mm, topspace=15mm, header=0mm, footer=2mm, height=275mm, bottomheight=1mm, footerdistance=10mm] \setupfootertexts [title] [\pagenumber{} of \totalnumberofpages] \setupfooter[state=stop] \startfrontmatter \input{frontpage.tex} \stopfrontmatter \setupfooter[state=start] \startbodymatter \input{introduction.tex} \stopbodymatter What would be the easiest way to change the layout only for the first page since it has no footer. For the first page, I would like to have the text run all the way to the bottom with \vfill where normally the footer would be. Thanks Jeroen

Bug or feature? \numexpression and hashes
by Jairo A. del Rio 04 Sep '23

Hi, list. The following fails with a "Missing number, treated as zero" error prompt: \starttext \expandedrepeat2{\expandedrepeat2{\the\numexpression#I+#P\relax\ }} \stoptext OTOH, \numexpr works seamlessly. Tested on ConTeXt 2023.09.03 19:03. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Jairo

Reinserting a section title followed by (continued) after a page break
by Calvin Ross 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

I'm trying to use ConTeXt for playwriting, and I think it would be best to use sections for dialog. However, if a dialog's text is interrupted by a page break, it is customary to restate the character name followed by (continued) on the following page: --- open --- John My name is John, and I seek help with my --- page break --- John (cont'd) typesetting needs... --- end --- Maybe what I need is instead a mark? Here's a catch though, I will also need this to work for simultaneous dialog as well. This kind of dialog is represented by having dialog sections in columns: --- open --- Alice Bob John, you fool. John, you imbecile. --- page break --- Alice (cont'd) Don't you know that everyone uses Word to typeset their plays? --- end --- How can I do this kind of thing in ConTeXt? At the moment, I've been looking into adding a hook to shipout to prepend a section header with the last custom mark I've set. Even still, I don't know if this would work, or how to go about achieving this. If columns would be too difficult to implement, I'd be fine with living without (continued) support in them since they are pretty rare.
