\showlayout (more wiki stuff)
by Taco Hoekwater 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hi, Here is a question about \showlayout … is that not supposed to print different variable values on each page? I tried this: \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \definelayout[1][rightmargin=5mm,width=fit] \definelayout[even][rightmargin=80mm,width=fit] \definelayout[odd][rightmargin=50mm,width=fit] \setuplayout \starttext \showlayout[3] \stoptext and it updates the frame correctly on each page, but always prints the initial layout variables … I have 3 pages where only the frames differ. Also, there is a fourth, empty page generated, but that I do not care much about. Best wishes, Taco — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

\showmakeup (wiki)
by Taco Hoekwater 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hi, See the bug report in: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/showmakeup Does that need fixing in the interface file, or should the bug report be converted into a simple note and a pointer to check the most recent options in the actual source file?

\placenamedfloat ?
by Taco Hoekwater 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

I just converted the wiki page: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/placenamedfloat But trying to run the example there … it doesn’t seem to work? Neither mkiv nor lmtx. — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

\placesubformula

Hi, Could someone look at the example of https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/placesubformula please? I thought this command was supposed to produce subformula numbers, but perhaps I misunderstood something in the syntax ?

startfigure / placestartfigure confusion
by Taco Hoekwater 20 Nov '21

20 Nov '21

Hi all, I was trying to document the \marking()() command (which is in itself a bit of an odd thing, but not the point of this message). It is supposedly to be used inside of \startfigure … \stopfigure (lmtx) or with the old name: \placestartfigure … \placestopfigure (mkii/mkiv) but as I was trying to produce an example, I discovered that \startfigure … \stopfigure does not seem to work at all ? no output appears. Is this command supposed to still work, even? % MWE (assuming I understand the supposed syntax correctly): \starttext \startfigure[mycow][cow.pdf][width=4cm] ... \stopfigure some text \stoptext — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

\somewhere is broken in lmtx
by Taco Hoekwater 20 Nov '21

20 Nov '21

Hi, It just seems to typeset all its arguments, or something. Works fine in mkiv mode. MWE: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/somewhere (I set the wiki example up to use mkiv instead so it looks ok there) Best wishes, Taco — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

\offset
by Taco Hoekwater 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hi, It looks like the \offset command is not quite exact? See attached output, which I thought should be exactly centred horizontally. Instead, it shifts too far to the left. Normally I would suspect a stray space somewhere, but I do not see it... Best wishes, Taco

lmtx \fillinline bug
by Taco Hoekwater 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Hi, Something goes wrong rather oddly in lmtx with \fillinline. In vmode, it does not actually show the fill-in line, but then it does remember it because it will appear in the *next* paragraph. mkiv is fine, for comparison. Best wishes. Taco % MWE: \setuppapersize[A6,landscape] \starttext OK: \fillinline[width=2cm]{\it OK (hmode)} \par \fillinline[width=2cm]{\it NOT OK (vmode)} \par NOK, spillover!\par \stoptext — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)
