Produce multiple versions in one run
by Denis Maier 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Hi, let's say I want to produce two different versions of my document, one with papersize a4, the other with papersize a5. ``` \setuppapersize[a4][a4] \startmode[a5] \setuppapersize[a5][a5] \stopmode ``` What is the best way to produce both versions with one command? A makefile? Or is there a way to do this with context alone? Best, Denis

Different layout for specific pages
by Stanislav Sokolenko 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Dear list, I would like to specify in advance that certain pages are to have different layouts. I put together an example based on what read on the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout#Multiple_layouts) \setuppapersize[A6] \definelayout[bigheader][header=0.5\textheight] \definelayout[smallheader][header=0.1\textheight] \setuplayout[smallheader] \definelayout[1][bigheader] \definelayout[2][smallheader] \starttext \showframe \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stoptext However, rather then having the big header only on page 1, I end up with it on every page except page 2. Is this a bug or can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried using the lmtx binaries, a recent context standalone version (2019-08-17) and using context live with the same result everywhere. Thanks, Stan

formatting index entries
by Robert Zydenbos 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Dear list members, In my book I am creating an index. I know that there are commands for formatting index entries, like: \index{sl::īga} if I want the word 'īga' to be printed in slanted type. I also know that we can create sub-entries, like \index{īga+emphasized} But now I want the word 'īga' to be slanted, but not the word 'emphasized'. I have tried things like \index{sl::īga+rm::emphasized}, but I can't figure this out. Any suggestions? Robert

Re: [NTG-context] balanced vertical spaces under \startcolumnset

Dear Sytse Knypstra, Thank you for your reply. I read the manual “Columns” as you suggested. The command \setupcolumnsetstart made a balanced output. But my problem is little different from it. I want exam paper of two columns in a page and in each column two problems located with the same space for solution. In general, it worked well, except the solution space of the last problem. Without \column, the heights of the two problems in the last column are different. With \column, the heights are same, but it create another extra blank page. It is not a big problem, but I wonder there is a solution. Thank you for your concern.

startnarrower and framed?

Hi all, I want to have a \startnarrower effect. But I also want that segment to have a border (hopefully a gradient background color too!). I tried: \startnarrower \framed{testing} Seems framed doesn’t observe startnarrower commands. \endnarrower How do I achieve that? Regards Jon

Re: [NTG-context] LMTX: Space in file names
by Otared Kavian 20 Aug '19

Hi Hans, Thanks to your reply, I just discovered the reason for which I could not typeset in lmtx files which have a space in their name from the Terminal: one has to say context "exercice 1.tex" that is to enclose the entire filename between double quotes… Which is completely logical! Thanks a lot for your time!

balanced vertical spaces under \startcolumnset
by Jeong Dal 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

Dear all, I use the following code to make test. To make the same height blank spaces after the problems, I use \vfill before \column. The problem is that the second \column creates extra blank page. But, without the second \column, the height of blank spaces of the second column are different. Is there a way to make the blank spaces height same while not to create a blank page? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung \usetypescriptfile[type-siz] \usemodule[units] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] \definecolumnset [exam] [n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[exam] \startitemize[n] \item Answer to the questions: \vfill \item Answer to the questions: \vfill \column \item Answer to the questions: \vfill \item Answer to the questions: \vfill %\column \stopitemize \stopcolumnset \stoptext
