keeping content chunks on same page
by Mike Cooper 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

Just about to have these homework files finished! My final problem (I hope) is keeping question/answer blocks together. The questions are currently defined via \defineenumeration with a \testpage (see below). I fiddled with the \testpage and found that \testpage[6] gave me the best results but there are still some question/answer blocks that get split across pages. The content chunks can be as small as a single line question with T/F answer options, or as large as seven lines for the question and seven for the answer options (although I don't think both of these occur together). In my searching for solutions, I thought I'd found something helpful with \startframed but I can't figure any way to combine the framed and enumeration... Anyway, here's some code. It doesn't demonstrate the page-break problem but gives an idea of the different possible sizes of question/answer chunks. \defineenumeration[question] [text=, headstyle=normal, right=., alternative=left, distance=1em, width=fit, before={\testpage[6]\blank[2em]}, after={\blank} ] \defineitemgroup[achoices] [option={packed,a,broad}, left=(, right=), stopper=] \starttext \startquestion Before a joint of pipe is laid down, the thread protector should be installed. \startachoices \startitem True \stopitem \startitem False \stopitem \stopachoices \stopquestion \startquestion The hardest part of the drilling program for young drilling engineers to plan is the section on hole stability because they have not had much hole problem exposure and have not been told that this particular shale is a "twenty-day shale". The most likely reason for the breakdown in communications is: \startachoices \startitem Inadequate case history data and poorly completed field records and NO trend charts \stopitem \startitem Mud company representatives are only calling on drilling superintendents and managers \stopitem \startitem Drilling engineers cannot read "between the lines" on morning reports and therefore miss the point many times. \stopitem \startitem Too few hours to do adequate offset well record check \stopitem \stopachoices \stopquestion \startquestion If the toolpusher noted the following trend while RIH with drill pipe, what should he instruct the driller to do? \setuptabulate[header=none] \starttabulate[|c|c|c|] \NC Stands \NC Increments required vs. actual \NC Trend \NC \NR \NC 0-5 \NC 3.57 vs. 3.57 \NC ~0 \NC \NR \NC 6-10\NC 3.57 vs. 2.57 \NC -1 \NC \NR \NC 11-15\NC 3.57 vs. 1.57 \NC -2 \NC \NR \stoptabulate \startachoices \startitem Continue to RIH to the casing shoe and observe the well \stopitem \startitem Stop and break circulation every 12 stands \stopitem \startitem Slow down because it looks like we are losing mud to the formation \stopitem \startitem RIH quickly because it looks like the hole is trying to flow \stopitem \stopachoices \stopquestion \stoptext THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Hello, For the title of the chapters I use the following command. \unexpanded\def\HeadTitle#1#2% {\framed [frame=off, width=fit, align=flushleft] {\color[darkgray]{\tfxx\cap\bf\labeltext{chapter}} \blank#1\blank#2} When I compile my project, I have the label "Chapitre" above the word "Sommaire" in the table of contents : how to delete it ? Thanks for your help Fabrice

color question
by jbf 24 Aug '20

24 Aug '20

I have a very basic question about color use that someone will be able to answer easily. The background to the question is that (i) I am completely new to this scene of commercially[offset] print-ready material as distinct from what is required on screen (ii) I am using Mk IV (iii) I need spot colors set up for cmyk, and for now I need shades between black and white (e.g. light gray) for a simple design feature. My question is this: is the use of color keywords sufficient? Or in other words, have predefined color names like lighgray already been defined in, say cmyk terms behind the scenes, or must I instead \definecolor[lightgray][c=10,m=7,y=5,k=0], (or perhaps \definespotcolor with those dimensions, or do I need both)?

Fonts out of ConTeXt manual

Dear list, In the fonts-mkiv.pdf file, section 8.14.3 Examples, the table at the top of page 178 has all entries in the third column equal, when they shouldn't. Please, fix when possible. Regards, Marcus Vinicius -- Todas as coisas fatigam o corpo, salvo a música, que não fatiga nem o corpo nem seus membros, por ser descanso da alma, primavera do coração, distração do aflito, entretenimento do solitário, e viático do viajante.

Color specific cells in a table

Hello, This table will be used to illustrate Pascal's triangle. I manage to color the cell (2,0) but I would also like to color the cells (2,1) and (3,1). Is it possible ?

vertical align in tabulate paragraphs
by Henning Hraban Ramm 23 Aug '20

23 Aug '20

Here’s another problem that I can’t reproduce in a MWE: In a tabulation that is set up like the example, in some cases the right column cell doesn’t top-align with the left one (see screenshot). In most cases it works. There’s no \setuptabulate in my environment; don’t know what else could influence this behaviour. Doesn’t seem to be grid or font related. Any hint where I could look? Hraban \usemodule[visual] \starttext \starttabulate[|p(0.33\textwidth)|p|] \dorecurse{100}{\NC:\fakewords{1}{15}–\NC–\fakewords{1}{20}.\NC\NR} \stoptabulate \stoptext

sudden error
by jbf 22 Aug '20

22 Aug '20

Am suddenly getting the error: close source > level 1, order 3, name '/home/me/Documents/Freedom/Context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' ! error: (type 0): cannot find file ''mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 I really don't think I have done anything to remove any essential parts of ConTeXt. Of course I can reinstall, but before I do, it would be good to understand what could have caused this error or if, indeed, it might be easily fixed even without reinstalling (a standalone). Julian

Chapter heading with rules
by jbf 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Have achieved a Chapter title with rules either side (see below - not an original invention!) but I want the chapter number to be part of 'My Chapter Title'; instead, the following MWE means it comes before the ChapterLeftRule. I know I can do it by actually putting the number before My Chapter title (e.g. 1 My Chapter Title), since the proper numbered version still appears in the TOC, but my preference would be to include a command in the \setuphead, if possible (so long as it still allows the numbered chapter to appear in the TOC of course). Possible? \definefiller [ChapterRule] [alternative=rule, color=gray, height=0.8ex, depth=-0.6ex] \definefiller [ChapterLeftRule] [ChapterRule] [left=\zerowidthnobreakspace, right=\quad] \definefiller [ChapterRightRule] [ChapterRule] [left=\quad, right=\zerowidthnobreakspace] \setuphead [chapter] [%align=middle, textstyle={\setcharactercasing[WORD]\ssa}, textcommand=\groupedcommand{\filler[ChapterLeftRule]}{\filler[ChapterRightRule]}] \starttext \chapter{My Chapter Title} \stoptext Julian
