should \getmarking[title] work?
by Michael Green 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

I expected \getmarking[title] to give me the contents of \title. It used to work (as of late spring). Perhaps something has changed.

But it's just a blank space. \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- This message has been scanned by Postini anti-virus software.

How to "unfill" a picture?
by Zhichu Chen 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hi, I got a problem in metapost. If I want to draw a ring, and use the code: fill fullcircle scaled 2cm ; unfill fullcircle scaled 1cm ; The inner part is not transparent, it has the color of "background" variable which is "white" by default. This case is a minimal example, I actually wanna draw something more complex, like the glyph "Q" and I know the inner path and outer path. How can I fill the ring without jeopardizing the area inside the inner path? -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

should footnote columns work?
by Michael Green 24 Jun '09

Footnotes are not put into columns in the test file below. In longer files, the line separating footnotes from the text overlaps the last line or two of the text.

get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 24 Jun '09

Hello, Another urgent problem: how to get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions altogether? When I use the following, I get too much wasted space after the illustration. \placefigure [fit] {none} {\startcombination[4*1] {\externalfigure[serg1][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg2][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg3][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg4][width=4cm]} {} \stopcombination} Best, Vyatcheslav

Hi Hans, when will you provide propor keys to execute commands/settings at the begin and end of a section, I want to use them in a document to prevent extra markup but the only way to do this at the moment is with the two tokens registers \everybeforestructurehead and \everyafterstructurehead.

Pretty print SQL broken? Or am I doing something wrong?
by Gerben Wierda 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

verb-sql.tex seems not to work correctly. Is it broken or am I doing something wrong? I call it as this: \definetyping[SQL][option=color,numbering=line,bodyfont=9pt] \defineoverlay[ifsqoverlay][\overlayfigure{IfSQ-overlay.pdf}] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuplayout[leftmargin=10mm,rightmargin=0mm,footer=0mm,header=5mm] \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][a4,landscape] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=ifsqoverlay] \setuptyping[SQL][palet=colorpretty] \starttext \typefile[SQL][]{test2.txt} \stoptext I get rather strange coloration. I would expect comments to be colored differently, but only start and end character are. When I run PL/SQL through the formatter, variable names as bar_foo get only the _ colored, etc.
