page[no] not working?
by Matthijs Kooijman 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi all, I've come to understand taht using the \page[no] command should prevent a pagebreak at that particular spot whenever possible. However, this seems to be not working for me. My actual problem is with a \startframed directly after a description "header", but the problem is easily reproduced with the below example (for MkII, replace the 25cm with 20cm). The \dontleavehmod was needed to make the \blank work... \starttext \dontleavehmode \blank[25cm] A \page[no] \startframedtext H \stopframedtext \stoptext This example generates the "A" at the bottom of the first page, with the boxed H on the next page, putting a page break exactly where the page[no] is. Is it broken, or am I missing an important detail about how page[no] works? I've also tried \defineblankmethod [nobreak] {\nobreak} \blank[nobreak,line] and some variations as suggested by Wolfgang (IIRC) in some thread from 2008, but that failed with "missing number, treated as zero" for me.

Strange behavior with \framed or \inframed inside \startalignment [middle] \stopalignment. Alan Minimal example: \starttext \startalignment [middle] \inframed {This {\bf should} be aligned and centered} along with the following. \stopalignment \blank \startalignment [middle] Here, \inframed {the entire line} is centered. \stopalignment \blank \startalignment [middle] This is centered.\crlf \inframed {This is now centered.}\crlf This is centered. \stopalignment \stoptext

Hello, the printing shop wants me to make the columnsetarea bleeding[1] (3mm). However, the background stops at the edge of the a4paper and doesn't even fill the margin. Here's a minimal example: % \startminimalexample \setuppapersize[A4][A3] \setuplayout[backspace=2cm,width=middle, offset=0mm, topspace=0cm,height=middle, location=middle, marking=on, grid=yes, ] \setupcolors[state=start] \startuniqueMPgraphic{contrast} fill OverlayBox withcolor white ; fill OverlayBox withcolor transparent(1,.25,red) ; fill OverlayBox withcolor transparent(1,.25,yellow) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[contrast][\useMPgraphic{contrast}] \showframe \starttext \definecolumnset[mycolumnset][n=2] \definecolumnsetarea [einschub][left] [x=1,y=1,nx=4,ny=20,page=2, background=contrast,align={hi,right},state=start] \startcolumnset[mycolumnset] \dorecurse{15}{\input tufte\par} \stopcolumnset \page \showsetups \stoptext % \stopminimalexample Thanks in advance, olli Footnotes: [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_(printing) -- Oliver Heins heins(a)sopos.org http://oliverheins.net/ http://blog.overheins.net/ F27A BA8C 1CFB B905 65A8 http://scriptorium-adp.de/ 2544 0F07 B675 9A00 D827 1024D/9A00D827 2004-09-24 -- gpg --recv-keys 0x9A00D827 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html

Selectively not using a font feature
by Matthijs Kooijman 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi all, I'm currently using old-style numerals in my document using the onum otf font feature: \definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes] This gives very nice results, except for the cases where a 0 appears by itself in the text. In these cases, it appears just like an o instead of a 0. I'd like to explicitly turn off old style numerals for those cases, but I'm unsure how. Any suggestions? Gr. Matthijs For completeness, this is all of my font setup code: % Script taken from the "typescripts" pacakage at http://modules.contextgarden.net/typescripts \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Regular] [name:Linux Libertine O] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Italic] [name:Linux Libertine O Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Bold] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-BoldItalic] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Caps] [name:Linux Libertine O Capitals] [features=default] \stoptypescript % Script taken from the "typescripts" pacakage at \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [LinuxLibertine-Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [LinuxLibertine-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [LinuxLibertine-Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [LinuxLibertine-BoldItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [LinuxLibertine-Caps] [features=default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[linuxlibertine] % Use old numbers when available \definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes] % Define a custom typescript.

bib module, mkiv, and <section>

Dear Taco and gang, MTXrun | current version: 2009.12.01 14:54 ==================== \usemodule[bib] \starttext In this connection, it is worthy to note that, according to Ibn Daud's {\em Kitābu ãl-Maṣāḥif} \cite[jeffery1937], Ḥamzaḧ states that he carefully copied his own copy directly from the copy sent to Kufa by ʿUṯmān himself. % \subject{References} \startpublication[k=jeffery1937, t=book, a=Jeffery, y=1937, s=] \author[]{Arthur}[]{}{Jeffery} \title{Materials for the History of the Text of the Qurʾãn} \pubyear{{1937}} \pubname{} \city{Leiden} \notes{AMS photocopy edition, 1975} \stoppublication \tfx\setupinterlinespace\placepublications \stoptext ==================== If i uncomment \subject{References} the bibliography disappears. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Table macro choices?
by Design Department 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

Earlier this year I attempted to set tabular material using ConTeXt while meeting *all* the following requirements: > Some columns need fixed width, content must wrap to multiple lines > Multi-page tables > Column headings must repeat on every page > Additional header information is required on every page > Additional footer information containing tabular text and graphics is required on every page > Forced page breaks on arbitrary selected rows > Horizontal rules between specified groups of rows I was unable to meet all these requirements and reverted to LaTeX. It works, but I prefer ConTeXt and the LaTeX version takes a painfully long time to converge on optimal column widths. I'm now using TeXLive 2009, rather than 2008 - has anything changed in ConTeXt that will meet these requirements? David
