style of last table row (on every page)
by Mojca Miklavec 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hello, I'm forwarding a question about natural tables from our mailing list: How to make a different border on bottom of the last table row on every page? \setupTABLE[r][last][bottomframe=on] only works on last page, not on every page. I thought naively that \bTABLEfoot ... \eTABLEfoot could do a dirty trick, but apparently only the header gets repeated on every page: the footer does not. Mojca

upgrading to the latest alpha
by Mehdi Omidali 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I want to update my minimal installation on windows to the latest alpha. Seems that just copying the files in the base folder of the latest alpha to the corresponding folder in the minimal distribution is not working. Should I do something else?

Indentation in itemize
by Curious 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Hello Folks, Is there a way to have the first level of items indented. The second and subsequent levels are indented by default, but how does one achieve indentation of the first level. I looked at the options in the Context manual and I see that the default value of indentnext is yes. However, I think that applies second level onwards. Thanks in advance.

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

alpha
by Hans Hagen 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hi, there is a new alpha; this one reports (for certain features) if characters are missing in a font (which is the case in the reported farsi font) there are two experimental tricks: \checkcharactersinfont \removemissingcharacters these force an extra pass over the nodelist for checking (just after the fallback pass) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

new alpha
by Hans Hagen 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Hi, I uploaded an new alpha release to the website. There is an experimental (cool) feature tracker available (mostly of interest for arab users): \definefontfeature [arab-default] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes, ccmp=yes,locl=yes,calt=yes, liga=yes,clig=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes, mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes] \starttext \showotfcomposition{arabtype*arab-default at 48pt}{-1}{الضَّرَّ} \page \showotfcomposition{arabtype*arab-default at 48pt}{-1}{لِلّٰهِ} \page \stoptext The attached file shows what this will give you. (-1 in the above example means go from right to left) ps. it's realy an alpha, currently it does not provide registers due to upcoming integration of new structure and multipass mechanisms ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
