Re: Title for tabulate

[Benjamin Buchmuller via ntg-context]

Hi!

I'd like to follow up on a problem that Denis came across recently with the titles argument in tabulate. (It's more a solution than a question, but any hints to improve the answer are welcome.) I wanted to use this argument for an easy specification of, well, a title for a "recipe". The advantage is that all information is held together and it's easy to use for people who are not (too) familiar with ConTeXt.

So, in one file I can define all styles (which the end-user would not need to see):

\definetabulate[recipe][|l|l|p|l|]

\setuptabulate
	[recipe]
	[
	bodyfont=small,
	distance=medium,
	before={\blank[back, small]},
	header=text,
	headstyle=\bi, % this formats the "\BC" cells
	headcolor=red, % this formats the "\BC" cells
	]


\starttext

And then use:

\startrecipe[title={Whatever mixture 1}]
\FL 
\NC Absolute \BC Stock \NC Ingredient \NC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

\startrecipe[title={Whatever mixture 2}]
\FL 
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

\stoptext

etc.

However, I cannot change the way the title is styled (or spaced from the table) unless I do "title={\bi Some text.}". However, blank commands are also stripped off at this place. (I also don't get a clue from the source if there is any argument to spike-in some formatting.) 

So, if there is no easy way to access this one, we can work around:

\definetabulate[recipetab][|l|l|p|l|]

\setuptabulate
	[recipetab]
	[
	bodyfont=small,
	distance=medium,
	before={\blank[back, small]},
	% header=text, % THIS MUST NOT BE "text"
	headstyle=bold,
	headcolor=red,
	]

\define\startrecipe{\dodoubleempty\dostartrecipe}

\long\def\dostartrecipe[#1][#2]#3\stoprecipe{%
	\iffirstargument
		{\bi #1}\blank[medium]
	\fi
	\ifsecondargument
		\startrecipetab[#2]
		#3
		\stoprecipetab
	\else
		\startrecipetab
		#3
		\stoprecipetab
	\fi
}

\startrecipe[Head 1]
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

\startrecipe[Head 2][headcolor=blue] % pass on arguments to tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

Small question though: Is there a ConTeXt way to "\long\def" or a simple way ("user interface") to filter a list of arguments for a specific key=val pair, e.g. to make a single optional argument with headertitle={Some header.}?

Best


Benjamin

context has no (need for) \long ... all is long (i mever saw a reason 
for using it)

(1) use a proper head:

\definehead[RecipeHead][subsubsubsubsubsubject]
\setuphead [RecipeHead][style=bolditalic,after={\blank[medium]}]

\definetabulate[recipetab][|l|l|p|l|]

\setuptabulate
   [recipetab]
   [bodyfont=small,
    distance=medium,
    before={\blank[back, small]},
    headstyle=bold,
    headcolor=red]

here's a one-step lmtx solution:

\let\stoprecipe\relax

\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#*[#2]#3\stoprecipe
   {\ifcstok{#1}\emptytoks\else
      \RecipeHead{#1}
    \fi
    \ifcstok{#2}\emptytoks
      \startrecipetab#3\stoprecipetab
    \else
      \startrecipetab[#2]#3\stoprecipetab
    \fi}

or just

\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#*[#2]#3\stoprecipe
   {\ifempty{#1}\else
      \RecipeHead{#1}
    \fi
    \ifempty{#2}%
      \startrecipetab#3\stoprecipetab
    \else
      \startrecipetab[#2]#3\stoprecipetab
    \fi}


and here's one that does what you ask (in the core i'd try to avoid 
grabbing too much arguments and if real core we'd make sure dummy 
parameters don;t interfere):

\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
   {\ifempty{#1}%
      \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
    \orelse\ifhastok={#1}%
      \getdummyparameters[headtitle=,#1]
      \ifempty{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}\else
        \normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}}
      \fi
      \startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
    \else
      \RecipeHead{#1}
      \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
    \fi}

\startrecipe[headtitle={Head 3},headcolor=blue] % pass on arguments to 
tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

Here's a variant:

\def\theparameter#1#2%
   {\beginlocalcontrol
    \begingroup
    \getdummyparameters[#1=,#2]%
    \normalexpanded{\endgroup\endlocalcontrol\dummyparameter{#1}}}

\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
   {\ifempty{#1}%
      \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
    \orelse\ifhastok={#1}%
      \edef\MyHeadTitle{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}%
      \ifempty\MyHeadTitle\else
        \normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\MyHeadTitle}}
      \fi
      \startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
    \else
      \RecipeHead{#1}
      \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
    \fi}

or just

\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
   {\ifempty{#1}%
      \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
    \else
      \edef\MyHeadTitle{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}%
      \ifempty\MyHeadTitle\else
        \normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\MyHeadTitle}}
      \fi
      \startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
    \fi}

or

\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
   {\ifempty{#1}%
      \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
    \else
      \ifcstok{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}\emptytoks\else
        \normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}}
      \fi
      \startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
    \fi}

or ... or ... or ...

just play with it a bit till you have something that looks nice in code too

Re: Title for tabulate

[Benjamin Buchmuller via ntg-context]

Thanks again, Hans, for all the different approaches, very instructive!

However, after playing around a bit, I do have a question that I can't work out: 

\getdummyparameters[headtitle=,#1]

\ifempty{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}

will never be true? See below in context:

Consider:

\startrecipe[headcolor=darkyellow] % pass on arguments to tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

This leaves a blank header line instead of none.

Complete example with XXXXX control:

\definehead[RecipeHead][subsubsubsubsubsubject]
\setuphead [RecipeHead][style=bolditalic,after={\blank[medium]}]

\definetabulate[recipetab][|l|l|p|l|]

\setuptabulate
 [recipetab]
 [bodyfont=small,
  distance=medium,
  before={\blank[back, small]},
  headstyle=bold,
  headcolor=red]

\let\stoprecipe\relax

\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
 {\ifempty{#1}%
    \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
  \orelse\ifhastok={#1}%
    \getdummyparameters[headtitle=,#1] % this should make headtitle by default empty, but doesn't?
    \ifempty{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}XXXXX\else
      \normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\dummyparameter{headtitle}YYYY}}
    \fi
    \startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
  \else
    \RecipeHead{#1}
    \startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
  \fi}

some text

\startrecipe[headtitle={Head 3},headcolor=blue] % pass on arguments to tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL

can you try

\ifcstok{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}\emptytoks

instead

Yes, this works! Thanks!

I'll try to add a section on the Wiki. Is there a reason why the second approach works while the other doesn't?

Ok, that's what I've done now, and doesn't seem to create any problems.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

often it's ok as subjects are unnumbered but you can play safe:

\definehead[myownhead][subsubsubsubsubsubject]

\myownhead

you can then always go lower (more sub) if needed

and using dedicated head commands is also cleaner

That sounds like a neat solution. I'll investigate.
Does that play nicely with structurelevels? I mean, let's say I'm somewhere higher, e.g. on chapter, the next level would be section. If I now invoke this subsubsubject manually, does that break the levels structure?

Best,
Denis

why not just use

\subsubsubject{xxxxxxxx}

Title for tabulate

[Denis Maier via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1086 bytes --]

Hi,

when trying out different options for my last question regarding column spans I've tried out the the option regarding titles for the tabulate environment. Consider this example (adapted from the wiki):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setuppapersize[A6]

\starttext
\setuptabulate
   [
    header=text,
                split=yes,
    title={Fenchurch St. Paul},
                ]

\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\dorecurse{6}{
  \NC  Bells:  \NC  Tin tan din dan bim bam bom bo \NC\NR
  \HL
  \NC  Name:  \NC  Tailor Paul \NC \NR
  \HL
}
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

A couple of questions :
- Is it possible to have the title be typeset only once? I.e., it should not repeat on each page.
- How do you change the alignment of the title? (There's an align key, but that does change the alignment of the entries. Not of the title. There are headstyle and headcolor, but nothing about alignment. (\setupalign[middle] in headstyle doesn't do anything.)
- How can you add bit more space after the title?

Best,
Denis
