backgrounds: help needed
by Peter Münster 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hello, I need some text with background, that can break across lines. But the background must not touch the background of the next line! \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext inframed does not allow linebreaks: \def\Bla{\inframed[background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, frame=off, offset=overlay, backgroundoffset=2pt, location=keep]{% FF FF XX XX XX XX XX XX SS CS CS}} \dorecurse{20}{bla \Bla\ bla} And textbackground does not allow to seperate the backgrounds of 2 lines: \definetextbackground[TG][backgroundcolor=gray, frame=off, offset=overlay, backgroundoffset=2pt] \def\Bla{\starttextbackground[TG]FF FF XX XX XX XX XX XX SS CS CS% \stoptextbackground} \dorecurse{20}{bla \Bla\ bla} \stoptext Could anybody help please? TIA for any hints! Cheer, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

A few questions about aligned maths
by Morgan Brassel 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi everyone, I read carefully the two 'My Way' from Aditya regarding math alignment (thank you for those, they were extremely useful to me, and should maybe get even more visibility on the wiki), and I have some questions about it: 1) Is there a way to modify interline spacing in 'cases' environment? I find it a bit short when using the displaystyle option. 2) I noticed that the interline spacing is not the same in the 'align' and 'aligned' environment (it's larger in 'align'). Is there a way to make 'aligned' use the spacing of align? It looks better with displaystyle maths. 3) Aditya, I saw your remark in your 'My Way' concerning the 'multline' environment. I must admit I would really be glad to see it appear in ConTeXt! I'm afraid I'm not able to implement it myself... I use it a lot with amsmath: when a formula is just too long for one line, I put it on two with multline. The first part of the formula is left aligned on the first line, and the second part is right aligned on the second line. It seems impossible to get the same result with only 'align'. Would it be difficult to make it available in ConTeXt? Best regards, Morgan

Catcode tables
by Wolfgang Schuster 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi, can you fix the catcode related macros in syst-cat.mkiv, the macros did not work because a few macros are not define like \savecatcodetable and a few other are only defined in the MkII part like \catcodetable. Wolfgang

lucida and mactex 2008
by Jerónimo Alaminos Prats 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello, I have been using the lucida fonts without problems for a long time. They work like a charm with mactex 2007 but moving to the 2008 version I've found that some math symbols are shuffled or simply do not appear in the pdf. For example, \midint compiles correctly but do not appear in the pdf result. I have checked everything that I can imagine but cannot find a reason for this behaviour. As example, the result that I get when i compile \setupcolors[state=start] \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] \usetypescript[lucidabfm][texnansi] \usetypescript[lucidaboldmath][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt] \starttext \showmathcharacters \stoptext can be seen at http://www.ugr.es/~alaminos/_Media/lucida-2008.pdf Any ideas? Thanks, Jeronimo ------------------------------------- Jerónimo Alaminos Prats Dpto. Análisis Matemático Facultad de Ciencias Universidad de Granada Granada - 18071 alaminos(a)ugr.es

Problem Passing \starttabulate into Lua
by Tad Ashlock 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

I'm trying to create a ConTeXt macro (mkiv) that will manipulate the macro argument's text with Lua and then feed it back into ConTeXt with tex.print(). My approach worked correctly until I called the macro with \starttabulate ... \stoptabulate in the macro's argument. So I started reducing the problem down to a minimum example which surprisingly turned out to have nothing to do with the manipulations I was performing. Here is the working example (without \starttabulate): \long\def\testmacro#1{\directlua0{d='\luaescapestring{#1}'}} \starttext Hello, world! \testmacro{% testing} \stoptext Here is the broken example: \long\def\testmacro#1{\directlua0{d='\luaescapestring{#1}'}} \starttext Hello, world! \testmacro{% testing \starttabulate \NC 0 \NC testing tabulate. \NC \NR \stoptabulate} \stoptext Here's the output: ===================================== MtxRun | loading configuration for C:/context/tex/texmf/web2c from C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2fea56f92e5267d7cc9662e4d5f52e1e/trees/53ad5f8b88994bdd02baa17501789699 MtxRun | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2fea56f92e5267d7cc9662e4d5f52e1e/formats/cont-en" --lua="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2fea56f92e5267d7cc9662e4d5f52e1e/formats/cont-en.lua" "./test.tex" (test.tex ConTeXt ver: 2008.10.31 13:58 MKIV fmt: 2008.12.24 int: english/english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv) (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-mtx.tex)) system : cont-fil loaded (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-tmf.tex) (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded specials : pdftex loaded system : test.top loaded (test.top) (test.tuo) (test.tuo) systems : begin file test at line 2 !

I tried \def with and without \long. I tried other \start* ... \stop* commands (different errors, but still broken). Plus many more variations. At this point I'm convinced that there's something fundamental that I'm not understanding. What is the general method for taking any chunk of ConTeXt code and passing it into Lua so that it can be written back out with tex.print()? Info: running on Windows XP, SP3 -- ConTeXt: 2008.10.31 -- LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.31.2-2008121200, build 1659 (The older versions of ConTeXt and LuaTeX are necessary because of the problem the latest Windows versions are having. See the "Serious Bug?" thread.) Thank you, Tad Ashlock

embedding 3d pdf
by Michail Vidiassov 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

Dear All, since ConTeXt lacks support for embedding 3D models (U3D or PRC) into PDF (btw, is pdf annotations support in context/luatex combination fit for end-user or is "in transition"?) I have tried to embed some 3D PDFs from http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/gallery/3D%20graphs/ and http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/pdf/ using \externalfigure[3dpf.pdf] \startpagefigure[3dpdf.pdf]\stoppagefigure \copypages[3dpdf.pdf][n=1] but only the preview (flat) images show up, not the 3D model, that must appear after clicking on it in Adobe Reader. File size shows that the 3D annotation data was not taken from the 3D PDF file into ConTeXt output. Any advice on possible workarounds? Any hope for ConTeXt fixes? Or making a link to an external PDF file is the only option for now? Sincerely, Michail PS. I have seen the code from Renaud AUBIN in the "U3D (embedded 3D objects)" thread, http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/020220.html but it is too ugly and old a hack to start any work from.

PDF bookmarks appear twice
by Andrey Riabushenko 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

I have found similar issue was discussed in this list, but it doesn't contain a suitable solution for me These command work just fine to add bookmark for every part, chapter and etc. \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupinteractionscreen [option=bookmark] \placebookmarks [part,chapter,section,subsection] [chapter] But I want to add three additional bookmarks (without adding them to the contents): title page, resume(second page), contents. I have defined it the following way: \definemakeup[Titlepage][pagestate=start, page=right] \definemakeup[Resume][pagestate=start, page=right] \definestartstop[Abstract][before={\page[blank,right] \midaligned{\bf Abstract}\startnarrower[2*middle]}, after={\stopnarrower\blank[big] }] \starttext \startTitlepagemakeup \bookmark[chapter]{Title page} \tfd Title page \\ \stopTitlepagemakeup \startResumemakeup \bookmark[chapter]{Resume} \startAbstract Abstract paragraph full of text \stopAbstract Author name \stopResumemakeup \title{Contents} \bookmark[chapter]{Contents} \placecontent[interaction=all] \stoptext In this case bookmarks appear twice in the bookmark menu. If I use \bookmark{} without [chapter] the bookmarks do not appear at all. I have tried to put bookmarks out of start/stop environments but it didn't help. How to work around this issue?
