Windows PDF viewer with refresh?
by John Devereux 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi All, Sorry for the seemingly trivial question, but does anyone have any advice on the best PDF viewer to use on Windows, for use with Context? I can't even seem to find one with refresh! After years of periodic usage of Context on linux, I am now trying to configure it on a Windows system (for someone else). Any suggestions in general for setting up a decent workflow would also be very welcome. Thanks, -- John Devereux

Tikz & contextwiki
by Nicolas Girard 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi, is it possible to run code involving the tikz module in the wiki ? I'm asking because there's such a piece of code on the Colors page <texcode> \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \tikz\shade[ball color=red!40!yellow] (0,0) circle (.15cm); \stoptext </texcode> and I couldn't make it work on the wiki by typing: <context> \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \tikz\shade[ball color=red!40!yellow] (0,0) circle (.15cm); \stoptext </context> -- Nicolas

usemodule[bib] upsets abbreviations
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Using today's beta (2009-06-03), my abbreviations seem to be upset by the \usemodule[bib] command. Here is a simple test case in which the first line is okay, but the second line, with ! after the abbreviation, fails. \enableregime[il1] \abbreviation {KF} {Kalman filter} \usemodule[bib] \starttext Once upon a time, Rudolph Kalman invented the \KF. Once upon a time, Rudolph Kalman invented the \KF! \stoptext Best regards, Richard P.S. If I don't put the \enableregime in I get a failure of the bib module, not sure why. Converteam UK Ltd.

Reset footnote numbering by chapter?
by Khaled Hosny 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

What is the "official" way to reset footnote numbering by chapter? \setupnote[footnote][way=bychapter] has no effect, searching the mailing list I found \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] which works only with MkIV, so is there a MkII equivalent (I don't use MkII myself, but just to document it in the wiki). \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] works fine except when I use frontmatter environment, after removing the start/stopfrontmatter from this example, footnotes will reset by chapter, or if I put \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] inside one of the chapters. \starttext \setupnumber[footnote][way=bychapter] \startfrontmatter \chapter{One} \input knuth\footnote{chapter one} \chapter{Two} \input knuth\footnote{chapter two} \stopfrontmatter \stoptext Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

another sectioning problem in beta
by Henning Hraban Ramm 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

MkIV 2009.06.03 11:48 If I use \chapter and \section, numbering is ok (1 Chapter, 1.1 Section, 1.2 Section, 2 Chapter etc.), but when I define my own sectioning levels, everything gets running numbers (1 Chapter, 2 Section, 3 Section, 4 Chapter etc.). --- snip --- \setuphead[chapter][page=no] \definehead[Kapitel][chapter] \definehead[Abschnitt][section] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{% \expanded{\Kapitel{My chapter \recurselevel}} \expanded{\Abschnitt{My Zapf \recurselevel}} \input zapf \expanded{\Abschnitt{My Tufte \recurselevel}} \input tufte } \completecontent[criterium=all] \stoptext --- snip --- Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Page shifting & crop marks
by Nicolas Girard 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi when shifting pages like in the example below, it seems to me like the crop marks should be shifted accordingly. What do you think ? Thanks in advance, Nicolas \setuppapersize[CD][A4] \definepageshift[test][horizontal][30pt,-30pt,20pt,-20pt,10pt,-10pt,0pt,0pt,0pt,0pt,10pt,-10pt,+20pt,-20pt,30pt,-30pt] \setuppageshift[test] \setuplayout[margin=5mm,marking=on,location=middle] \setuparranging[2*2*4,rotated] \setuppageshift[paper][test] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Cannot run Lilypond
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Thanks for the interest. I can run Lilypond from command line from any location. Also, I can run pstopdf, but the fact is that i didn't install GhostScript. But I'm not sure if it works, bacause when I run it it says nothing and exits. When I compile my Lily example, lily1-lilypond-1.tmp is created in both document dir and lilytemp subfolder. But lilypdfs remains empty. Best, Vyatccheslav

\setuppageshift and \setuparranging
by Nicolas Girard 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi, I'm testing ConTeXt's imposition abilities on a cd booket project. I'd like pages to be shifted in order to compensate paper thickness. Running the following code leads to pages that are properly shifted ; but when uncommenting the line with \setuparranging, pages aren't shifted any longer. What's wrong with my code ? Thanks in advance, Nicolas \setuppapersize[CD][A4] \definepageshift[test][horizontal][10pt,20pt,30pt,40pt,50pt] \setuppageshift[test] \setuplayout[margin=5mm,marking=on,location=middle] %\setuparranging[2*2*4,rotated] \setuppageshift[test] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{14}{\input tufte} \stoptext
