Re: [NTG-context] problem with layers and line spacing
by Brian R. Landy 12 Aug '09

Understood, but actually it is obeying the 12pt switchtobodyfont for the interline spacing in the backgrounds. It is not using either the layer's switchtobodyfont, which I think should be correct behavior, nor is it obeying the setupbodyfont. Note that the font size is correct, it is the interline spacing that is incorrect. Thanks, Brian On Aug 11, 2009, at 6:11 PM, Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> wrote: > Brian R.

fit & width don't seem to get along in itemize lists
by U Avalos 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

As per the wiki & mailing lists, the following should give me a numbered list with the numbers right aligned: \startitemize[n,fit,packed] [itemalign=flushright,distance=12pt,width=60pt] \dorecurse{10}{\item blablabla} \stopitemize Unfortunately, with the "fit" setting, the "width" setting stops working. (However, "fit" seems to be necessary for the right-alignment.) What I would like to do is finetune the spacing after the number. Any ideas? Thanks!

Bold letters in math and does tikz work
by Curiouslearn 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Sorry for sending this again. I forgot to change the subject in the previous email and as a result my post got tagged on to an unrelated post. Can someone please tell me how to get bold math symbols in Context. I am using ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV fmt: 2009.7.7 int: english/english Also, does Tikz work with the latest version of context minimals? Thank you for your help.

Context and Circuitikz
by Massimo Redaelli 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi all. After a request to make Circuitikz compatible with Context, I tried my hand at it a bit and I would say it's mostly done. I'm having some trouble with the module mechanism of context though (inputting the t-context.tex file seems to work, but using the module does not), and I'd need some help with this. Could I send anybody the code as it is, and possibly get some feedback on the kind of errors I get? Thank you! M. Redaelli

hi, \seeindex gets me the follwing error (see bellow). This error is the same as described in http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2004/005992.html. This message is too old. I just want to now how can I solve it (not there is three cont-new: cont-new.tex, cont-new.mkii and cont.new.mkiv). I have this version of MKII: texexec --version TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD in ubuntu. Thanks a lot, Xan.

lpeg substitution
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi all, I'm working on my Greek module again and am trying to filter and massage the input via lpeg, but there's something I don't quite get. As a minimal example: suppose I want to substitute A and B in my input with X and leave all other letters alone. Here's my attempt: \startluacode do local replace = { A = "X", B = "X", } local dosub = (lpeg.Cs(1)) / replace local subs = (dosub)^0 function test (string) tex.sprint(lpeg.match(subs,string)) end end \stopluacode \def\Substitute#1{\ctxlua{test("#1")}} \starttext \Substitute{ABC} \stoptext It substitutes alright, but the "C" is not included in the stream which ctxlua gives to TeX. How can I modify my lpeg pattern? Thanks, and all best Thomas

Change whitespace before item?
by U Avalos 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Say I want to change the whitespace before an item in an enumeration. The diagram below: |.....(a) Item 2 |.....(b) item 2 Say I want to change the whitespace (represented by the dots) in a list? How can I do that? Tried various settings: changing margin, adding hskip, but nothing seems to do the trick. There doesn't seem to be anything in the docs... How can I get a question answered on this list, BTW? It seems that no one either knows anything or are too busy for simple questions. FYI, devs, this language is going to die if you don't get more users....

problem with layers and line spacing
by Brian R. Landy 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, I am attempting to do some work with layers that can repeat (and update) using \startsetups & \stopsetups. However I find that the line spacing in a \framed in the layers is not alterable and instead tracks the font size on the page. I'm attaching a simple example (it shows the same issue under MKII and MKIV, although the \vbox{} example does not work under MKII). If you remove the \startsetups and \stopsetups the line spacing works like it should. While they are used, the line spacing in the layer's \framed tracks the setting in \switchtobodyfont[12pt]. It does not track to either 6pt or 8pt. And I can't find a way to reset the spacing (I tried adding in a \setupinterlinespace[reset]). Am I doing something wrong? I've tried with MKIV 2009.06.03 and 2009.08.07, and MKII at contextgarden. Thanks! Brian \setupbodyfont[8pt]% \starttext \definelayer[RCheaderleft][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]% \definelayer[RCheaderright][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]% \startsetups[RClayers]% \setlayer[RCheaderleft][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace]{\vbox{Line 1\\ Line 2}}% \setlayer[RCheaderright][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace] {\switchtobodyfont[6pt]\framed[align={middle,flushright},width=broad]{Line 1\\ Line 2}}% \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page][setups=RClayers,background={RCheaderleft,RCheaderright}]% \switchtobodyfont[12pt] \dorecurse{250}{test\par} \stoptext

missing space between text and a formula
by Bostjan Vesnicer 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, I found the solution to my problem about missing space between text and a formula in MKII when using \indenting[next] (see http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080424.112935.a81d9346.en.html) however it seems to me that the proposed fix hasn't been applied to the ConTeXt distribution after that.
