Re: [NTG-context] deeptextcommand and firstcharacter

Hi, Wolfgang. I tried dropping in the Lua code, but it does not extract the text: \define[1]\StyleChapter{% \StyleChapterFramed{% \framed[align=right, frame=off]{% \startoverlay \color[ColourSecondaryLightest]{% \cldcontext{string.sub(#1,0,1)} } \vski

Re: [NTG-context] deeptextcommand and firstcharacter

Ah, I think this does it: \cldcontext{string.sub("#1",0,1)}% Automatically expands the macro. Nice. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-co

[NTG-context] Confounding colour conundrums

Hi, In the attached example, I thought the word *Website* should be *orange*, but it is *blue*. If *color=blue* is removed (from \setupinteraction[state=start]), then the word *Website* is *dark green*, which is also unexpected, because the only place *dark green* occurs is in the setuplist for t

Re: [NTG-context] Confounding colour conundrums

>From http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg44867.html it appears that \setupinteraction affects the \setupurl command when no url is given. This was not obvious from the documentation . It seems that assigning different colours for inte

Re: [NTG-context] Confounding colour conundrums

Hi, The trick does seem to be that a new macro is required. % External link colours \definecolor[steelblue][h=4682B4] \define[2]\href{% \begingroup \setupinteraction[ style=normal, color=steelblue, ]% \goto{#1}[url(#2)]% \endgroup% } See attached. Kindest regards.

[NTG-context] Mixedcolumns maximum height for vertical rule: bug?

Hi, The horizontal rule for the first page extends to the bottom of the page, but does not do so on the second page. How do you prevent the vertical rule from extending to the bottom of the page? \usemodule[ipsum] \setuplayout[ topspace=\zeropoint, height=fit, width=fit, % Allow text to be

[NTG-context] Repeat second-level registers within index

Hi, How do you prevent ConTeXt from hiding (collapsing?) duplicate level 2 index items? For example: \startitem 5 array \index{hedgehog+SECTION A}hedgehog \stopitem \startitem 7 army \index{herring+SECTION A}herring \stopitem \startitem 100 b

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Manual Errata

+π from me. My preference would be BitBucket (slightly simpler than github and allows for free private repositories), but, either way, the result is the same: fewer steps to updating the manual. Moving away from svn to git is also a step in the right direction, IMO. One aspect of wikis that I tho

Re: [NTG-context] Repeat second-level registers within index

Hi, I changed lines 695 in bin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-reg.lua to the above. I re-ran context against my test case and Philipp's example. Actual results: a foo 2 *aa 2 aaa 2 *bar 2 a foo 2 aa 2 Expected results: a foo 2 aa *foo 2 *aaa *foo 2 * bar 2 aaa

Re: [NTG-context] Repeat second-level registers within index

Thank you, Hans. The error still seems to be present. Out of curiosity, what does "max 4" mean? Does it limit the index nesting levels? For my project, I require 5 nesting levels -- is that possible? Kind regards. strc-reg.lua Description: Binary data _

Re: [NTG-context] Repeat second-level registers within index

Hi, I did not. I have since run *context --make* and the second-level registers are working. Thank you. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@

[NTG-context] mtx-context - extraordinarily quiet mode

Re: [NTG-context] mtx-context - extraordinarily quiet mode

Thank you, Aditya. I should have mentioned that I was thinking about it in terms of optimization. Sometimes when a program's debug/logging mode is disabled, the program executes faster. (In the old days just writing to standard out was enough to make a program grind to a crawl.) I could not find
