TEXpage does not fit \placetable & \recurselevel always zero
by Jacob Kauffmann 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

Dear list, thank you very much for the help so far. I have two problems understanding the output of the code below. I am using version 2021.02.23 17:47. (1) The TEXpage is cut off after ~40 lines. Normally, the page is extended to fit its content. It's probably related to \placetable which I only use here because I need a centered table. I can set the height of the page manually, but the whole purpose of using TEXpage was to avoid that. (2) \recurselevel is always zero in the output. Normally, it counts the iterations. This issue is not relevant for my actual use-case, but I found that when writing the MWE. Best wishes, Jacob Kauffmann \setupTEXpage[width=10cm] \startTEXpage \placetable[force,none]{}{% \starttabulate[|c|c|] \NC A \NC B \NC\NR \HL \dorecurse{50}{\NC \expanded{\recurselevel} \NC \recurselevel \NC\NR} \stoptabulate } \stopTEXpage \stoptext

reference chapters from another doc in this doc's toc
by denis.maier＠ub.unibe.ch 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

Hi, is it possible to include structure elements from other documents in a toc? E.g. when your having a multivolume book where each book is an individual book, but you want to have a TOC that covers all volumes? Best, Denis

LMTX 2021.03.02 | cross reference to an external file | \pagereference
by Richard Mahoney 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

Readers, I'm working on a couple of volumes of papers set up and generated separately (though within the same project). Some of the papers in the second volume make cross references to papers in the first. Now this is working well so long as the reference is to the details associated with, say, a chapter, using \about, \in, and \at. Its doesn't seem to work though with \pagereference: no page number appears in the PDF whatsoever. I have been following the material here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/References#References_to_an_external_file I'm wondering then ... do cross references to an external file work with \pagereference?

Hello Hraban and Hans, Thank you Hraban for your enthusiasm. Very nice to hear that this might be useful for other people too, I was kind of hoping that actually. As soon as I have some results I'll share them with you, we might be able to collaborate. Thank you Hans for making this working piece of code, that's great! That will get me started allright. Kind regards, David

Genealogy and context
by David van Diepen 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hello, My son is very much interested in genealogy. He already has collected information on thousands of people. Now it would be nice to be able to present this information in the form of a book. There is a possibility to have this done by a commercial service, however then it's not possible to adapt the format or to insert custom text. Media can be added but not in the way we like it. Genealogical information is stored as structured data. I have added a fragment of an Gramps XML file below. In such a file there are events, people, families and other groupings of data and these are linked by handles. What we would like to produce is a book with a number of blocks on every page describing a family: Father, mother, dates of birth and death, date of marriage, occupations and children. It would also be good it there are references to the grandparents. My question is: Where should I get started with a project in which a document is generated automatically from data? As far as I know context should be very suitable for this but I don't have any experience with this. Until now I've used context to make documents without any data being added automatically, except for the bibliography. Thank you in advance, David van Diepen Example Gramps XML file is below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE database PUBLIC "-//Gramps//DTD Gramps XML 1.7.1//EN" "http://gramps-project.org/xml/1.7.1/grampsxml.dtd"> <database xmlns="http://gramps-project.org/xml/1.7.1/"> <header> <created date="2021-02-03" version="5.1.2"/> <researcher> </researcher> </header> <events> <event handle="_eaa1eb8157f4e812f219719a7b" change="1612382260" id="E1746"> <type>Birth</type> <dateval val="1886-05-01"/> <place hlink="_eaa1eb79a6e5b1f282813dc5826"/> <citationref hlink="_eaa1eb815867f8610a89cf6ce74"/> </event> <event handle="_eaa1eb8158f53693508394c0c48" change="1612382260" id="E1747"> <type>Death</type> <dateval val="1886-05-18"/> <place hlink="_eaa1eb79a6e5b1f282813dc5826"/> <citationref hlink="_eaa1eb815964a4157b91beb0bcb"/> </event> <event handle="_eaa1eb99c423cc862cf41d591a7" change="1612382270" id="E6977"> <type>Marriage</type> <dateval val="1883-03-11"/> <place hlink="_eaa1eb79a6e5b1f282813dc5826"/> <citationref hlink="_eaa1eb99c4870fe758b76275a86"/> </event> </events> <people> <person handle="_eaa1eb8157e1aa01007c5a920d1" change="1612382260" id="I0987"> <gender>F</gender> <name type="Birth Name"> <first>Catharina</first> <surname>Geldof</surname> </name> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb8157f4e812f219719a7b" role="Primary"/> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb8158f53693508394c0c48" role="Primary"/> <childof hlink="_eaa1eb79b3313e7e3c96019665c"/> </person> <person handle="_eaa1eb7a37226ca41e414cd2f36" change="1612382258" id="I0049"> <gender>M</gender> <name type="Birth Name"> <first>Cornelis</first> <surname>Geldof</surname> </name> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb7a3735b3bd6acb1a5aa1c" role="Primary"/> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb7a3831437df21bf3f6924" role="Primary"/> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb7a3942a2fb185331a9edf" role="Primary"/> <childof hlink="_eaa1eb7a39a2dfce87e06b0adab"/> <parentin hlink="_eaa1eb79b3313e7e3c96019665c"/> </person> <person handle="_eaa1eb7a3a54ad77d5f29a821c9" change="1612382258" id="I0050"> <gender>F</gender> <name type="Birth Name"> <first>Maatje</first> <surname>de Voogd</surname> </name> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb7a3a731714abad9183560" role="Primary"/> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb7a3b74da1e4ff36adcaab" role="Primary"/> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb7a3c8685236291abfcbc9" role="Primary"/> <childof hlink="_eaa1eb7a3cd3853b21c39baab9a"/> <parentin hlink="_eaa1eb79b3313e7e3c96019665c"/> </person> </people> <families> <family handle="_eaa1eb79b3313e7e3c96019665c" change="1612382261" id="F0016"> <rel type="Married"/> <father hlink="_eaa1eb7a37226ca41e414cd2f36"/> <mother hlink="_eaa1eb7a3a54ad77d5f29a821c9"/> <eventref hlink="_eaa1eb99c423cc862cf41d591a7" role="Family"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb79b0b8526fca40e502ca"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb815521c4281a23ee688d2"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb8157e1aa01007c5a920d1"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb815a9647c05a8560739f3"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb815d632b4145a6a964cd1"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb81603107eb844e1d0a1ce"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb816306fa3946fe9a88f1b"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb81651258b725548dba1dc"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb8167243fc0ae5b90986c1"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb818cf2e229c88b97b192e"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb818ec579ca7141aa0efbe"/> <childref hlink="_eaa1eb8191314350b99ec3ade67"/> </family> </families>

Shaded large letters in LMTX
by Keith McKay 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi All, Is it possible to get the fill colour in lmt_outline[] to be shaded between two colours like in the lmt_shade[] command? It would be a nice effect for large letters or words. Best Wishes Keith McKay Hamilton, Scotland

Setuptolerance vs setupalign
by denis.maier＠ub.unibe.ch 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi, I've just noticed that it's possible to do \setupalign [tolerant,stretch] and \setuptolerance [tolerant,stretch] Are these equivalent? Will this here have the desired effect? \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \setupalign[hz,hanging] Or will \setupalign overwrite the tolerance settings? Best, Denis

outputting components in their own PDFs
by Alan Bowen 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Denis— Many thanks for your explanation. It works very well in my separating components (chapters) and is going to save me a lot of time. Thanks too to Hans. And my apologies for missing the earlier discussion: my internet access and email has been very flakey of late and I know that I have lost messages. In fact, I found Denis’s reply and the earlier exchange by going to the list Archive. All best, Alan
