context command and the bbl file
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Hi all, I have a file with citations. Using: "context myfile" does not create the bbl file when needed (but reads it when it exists). "texexec --lua myfile" does the expected job. Is there a reason for that? -- Jean

Rendering of ZWNJ and ZWJ
by Khaled Hosny 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Using Luatex engine, ZWNJ and ZWJ chars are rendered incorrectly. If the font has a glyph for it, it does the expected behaviour (force non-joining or joining respectively) but the glyph get rendered while it shouldn't. But if the font has no glyphs for it, it has no effect at all. See the attached example. -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

bibl-apa.tex wrong?
by Matej Barič 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Hello, This (http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citapa.htm) and just about any other site I look at specifies publisher info as "<city, state>: <publisher name>", whereas bibl-apa.tex specifies it as "<publisher name>, <city, state>". Why is the file called bibl-apa.tex if it doesn't follow APA rules? Am I missing something thanks, Matej

zero padding with itemize
by Peter Münster 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Hello, Is it already possible to get 0 padding with \startitemize: 01 02 03 and so on ? If yes, how? And if no, where is the magic point, where I could apply a patch (if it's not too difficult ;) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

clipping bug [or the return of the long cat]
by Peter Rolf 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

hi, this time fully 'context live' approved, only with natural ingredients and even more tasty. yummy yum :D % engine=luatex \starttext \definelayer[stack] \setlayer[stack][x=0pt,y=0pt]{% \clip[hoffset=0pt,voffset=0pt,width=20cm,height=1cm]% {Clipping some layer text}} %\flushlayer[stack] \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{The cat was too long to fit in this small sentence.} \framed[offset=overlay]{\clip[hoffset=0pt,voffset=0pt,width=110pt,height=15pt]{\box\scratchbox}} \stoptext the second clip uses the width value of the prior clip (20cm). but if the layer is flushed, the second clip works nearly as expected (only frame is missing). interesting. there also seems to be some mess (or only a side effect?) with the setting of \setupsystem[\c!n=2,\c!m=2] sometimes the number one is used, sometimes the number two. must break, it's supper time. regards, peter

unicode feature request
by Peter Münster 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hello, Just as the signs <, >, + and −, it would be nice if also other signs such as ≤ (less-than or equal to, 2264) or ⇒ (rightwards double arrow, 21D2) worked in text mode and not only in math mode. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
