Hi Hans, can you add this to page-brk.mkvi \installpagebreakmethod \v!left {\page_otr_flush_all_floats \page_otr_command_next_page_and_inserts \doifbothsidesoverruled{}{\resetcurrentstructuremarkswithpage\page_otr_insert_dummy_page}{}} There is a comment in the file % \installpagebreakmethod \v!left {} % defined in page-txt.mkiv to look at page-txt.mkvi for the method but it isn’t defined there.

\setuppapersize: mirrored, negative, rotated, etc. not working in mkiv
by Sietse Brouwer 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hi, While working on the wiki I discovered that mkiv fails on a few \setuppapersizes keys. Minimal example below. I'm using mkiv, 2012.04.19 23:18. mkii does it all with no problems. I discovered this while working out what the various keys do; I myself don't need a fix. --Sietse % negative causes an 'undefined control sequence' error. % So do mirrored, 90, 180, and 270. % rotated causes no error, but does nothing % \setuppapersize[A6][A5] % works \setuppapersize[A6,negative][A5] %fails \starttext asdf \stoptext

Bug in pgfplots module
by Marco 24 Apr '12

Hi, the pgfplots module t-pgfplots.tex lacks an \unprotect \protect pair, which causes a catcode error in the file numtable/pgfplotstable.code.tex on lines 1042-1045: { \catcode`\^^I=12 \gdef\pgfplotstablesave@impl@TAB{^^I} } Suggested fix: --- texmf-modules/tex/context/third/pgfplots/t-pgfplots.tex~ 2012-04-24 10:01:24.972183906 +0200 +++ texmf-modules/tex/context/third/pgfplots/t-pgfplots.tex 2012-04-24 10:03:13.712723135 +0200 @@ -27,6 +27,8 @@ \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[plotmarks] +\unprotect + \edef\tikzatcode{\the\catcode`\@} \edef\tikzbarcode{\the\catcode`\|} \edef\tikzexclaimcode{\the\catcode`\!} @@ -61,4 +63,6 @@ \catcode`\|=\tikzbarcode \catcode`\!=\tikzexclaimcode +\protect + \endinput I don't know who is responsible for that and if it needs to be fixed upstream or if the module is a part of ConTeXt.

Storing and retrieving two-pass data
by Marco 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi, I am trying to save a string to the .tuc file and to retrieve it in the next run. My attempt: \starttext \startluacode local collected = utilities.storage.allocate() local tobesaved = utilities.storage.allocate() job.register("job.userdata", tobesaved) tobesaved["foo"] = "value_foo" tobesaved["bar"] = "value_bar" \stopluacode \stoptext This leads to the following entry in the .tuc file: utilitydata.job.userdata={ ["bar"]="value_bar", ["foo"]="value_foo", } I expected to be able to retrieve the data with e.g. collected["foo"], but the collected table is empty. What is the interface to retrieve the values from the .tuc file? Aditya mentioned that there will be a new interface in this (or the upcoming) beta. Marco

Spacebefore and spaceafter in strc-mat
by Aditya Mahajan 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi, strc-mat sets: \def\beforedisplayspace {\doifnot{\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore}\v!none{\blank[\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore]}} \def\afterdisplayspace {\doifnot{\formulaparameter\c!spaceafter}\v!none{\blank[\formulaparameter\c!spaceafter ]}} Other environments that provide spacebefore and spaceafter keys (delimiters, floats), do not check if the key is none. I don't really understand why this check is done. Can we delete this check? Aditya

strc-ref.lua
by Wolfgang Schuster 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hi Hans, can you add the following filters to strc-ref.lua and I would remove “filters.text.number” because it’s nonsense when \getreference[number][…] delivers a string and not a number. filters.text = { } function filters.text.title(data) helpers.title(data.entries.text or "?",data.metadata) end -function filters.text.number(data) - helpers.title(data.entries.text or "?",data.metadata) -end function filters.text.page(data,prefixspec,pagespec) helpers.prefixpage(data,prefixspec,pagespec) end +filters.full = { } +filters.full.title = filters.text.title +filters.full.page = filters.text.page Wolfgang

\setuphead and conversion key
by Wolfgang Schuster 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi Hans, shouldn’t the name of the “conversion” key be changed to “sectionconversion” because the other structure key have the names “sectionset”, “sectionstarter” etc. \setuphead[section][conversion=Characters] %\setuphead[section][sectionconversion=Characters] \starttext \section{The letter A} \stoptext Wolfgang
