language mix
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hello, What about adding hyph-uk to the distribution? ;) Next, how to mix two languages in a document? For example, I typeset in Russian, by occasionally use English words (or even sentences). How to make them both being hyphenated? \language[ru,en] seems to be not supported. Bets, Vyatcheslav

\rightarrow missing?
by Jesse Alama 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

It seems that \rightarrow is missing. The command exists, in the sense that its use doesn't lead to an error, but it doesn't lead to anything in the output. Minimal example: \starttext $\rightarrow$ \stoptext Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

Weird interline spacing
by Khaled Hosny 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

In the attached file, loading the font with \setupbodyfont gives narrower interline spacing than with font (you have to comment out the \setupbodyfont line to see this), I'm not sure if this is normal, but the first case gives different interline spaces from line to line. I tested it with two different fonts. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

Hi Hans, the pdfsplit option for texexec use the name texexec.pdf for each of the document and only the last page remains because all other are overwritten, can you add the pagenumber (texexec-1.pdf, texexec-2.pdf etc.) to the filename. Wolfgang

xetex and attachment: troubles
by Andrea Valle 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Dear all, I'm using xetex with fun (as suggested and discussed on the mailing list). I'm revising a previously created document which used attachment command. (the one documented here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ Verbatim_text#A_different_approach_to_formatting_and_code_colorization ) The actual version is here: http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/sw/sc/prd_tSCIRMA_scr.pdf Now, with ConTeXt no problem. If I use XeConTeXt (--> texexec --xtx) the file is not attached (there's the marker, a link is diplayed, but Acrobat says that there's no attachment). As far as I can say, the problem seems to depend on --xtx switch, Any hints?

Paragraphs in Layers
by Design Department 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Why does the following produce a single line when the layer content produces four lines in normal flow? How are paragraphs and new lines produced in layers? I've tried \par, \endgraf, \crlf and \\ without success. \definelayer[TicketSummary] [x=\backspace, y=\topspace width=4in, height=4in, repeat=no] \setlayer[TicketSummary] [hoffset=.5\backspace, voffset=2.5in]{ \bold{Client Name:} Acme Corporation \bold{Location of Work:} Main warehouse } -- david

Re: [NTG-context] new beta

Hello Ulrike, If you use Windows, try the GUI installer. It sets all needed env vars globally, and always works like a charm :) http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalIns… (But beware, it may interfere with MikTeX registry settings). Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] hyphenation

09 Apr '09

Hello Thomas and everybody, I've checked hyph patterns for Russian and languages provided by you. I discovered that nothing has changed for last month -- the result is exactly the same for luatex 0.35 and 0.37, as well as respective ConTeXt builds. Two demo images are attached. Vyatcheslav > Hi Vyatcheslav, > > I append a file that I have used, can you simply add tests for Russian > and Ukrainian? Yes, I'm using mkiv, latest beta, luatex 0.37. > > Thanks for your help - I will be offline until Sunday night. > > All best > > Thomas > >

Ask advices for underlines in coverage design.
by Wei-Wei Guo 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Dear all, I'm trying to make a dissertation template for our university. The cover of the template has many underlines. It's so hard to do with those underlines with ConTeXt. I attached two files. One is "cover.tex" which designing coverage. The other is "main.pdf" which is the output file that is the most closing one to my expectation. I make underlines with following codes: \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset:underlinec} \iftracepositions show_multi_pars \else draw_multi_pars \fi ; path p ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-0.0*StrutDepth) ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset:underlinee} \iftracepositions show_multi_pars \else draw_multi_pars \fi ; path p ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-0.7*StrutDepth) ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset:underlinet} path p ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-0.7*StrutDepth) ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic \definetextbackground [underlinec] [location=paragraph, alternative=1, mp=mpos:par:columnset:underlinec, background=, frame=off] \definetextbackground [underlinee] [location=paragraph, alternative=1, mp=mpos:par:columnset:underlinee, background=, frame=off] \definetextbackground [underlinet] [location=text, alternative=1, mp=mpos:par:columnset:underlinet, background=, frame=off] \definetextbackground [underline] [location=text, alternative=1, background=, frame=off] I defined four kinds of underlines, to fit the different distance requirements between underlines and text lines. Three of them, underlinec, underlinee, and underlinet, are defined with MPgraphic; the other one, underline, is defined only by textbeckground. I can only use the \underline command without MPgraphic, but it will draw lines too close to the text lines. The most wried thing is that if I use all the three MPgraphic defined underline, the vertical positions of underlines will be wrong and some underlines will not be drawn. The other problems are: - The English title is longer than the underline. I tried to figure out the reason, but in some other tex files, the problem is gone. I cannot reproduce it. - I don't know how to make the last two parts at the bottom of the coverage centered. I tried the following way but nothing happened. \definefloat[centered][table] \setupfloat[centered][default={none}] \placecentered{here,always,none}{} How can I make those underline acting as predicted? Is it related with the bug I mailed to the list before? Is there any alternative way to implement it? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
