bold header turns regular again
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

Hello, I have just found an old piece of code (that has been misbehaving for a long time). The last number is printed in regular instead of bold typeface in both mkii and mkiv: \startitemize[n][headstyle=bold] \head a\par aa \head b\par \head c \head d \stopitemize (I know a workaround, so no urge to fix it, I just thought it might be worth reporting it.)

\sometxt inside functions
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

Hello Hans, is there some simple command to make the following work (in MKII)? (I accept "Not interested since it works in mkiv" as a valid answer :) \starttext % makes sure that textext("") works; is there an equivalent for \sometxt? \forceMPTEXcheck{drawA} \startMPinclusions def drawA = draw fullcircle scaled 3cm; label.top(btex top etex, (0,5cm)); % OK label.rt(\sometxt{right}, (5cm,0)); % nothing label.bot(textext("bottom"), (0,-5cm)); % OK enddef; \stopMPinclusions \startMPcode drawA; \stopMPcode \stoptext Thanks, Mojca

by Khaled Hosny 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

With the sample below, the resulting PDF will crash MuPDF, Adobe Reader will show an empty page (though in a longer document it shows a message saying the file is broken and just few pages are rendered while the rest is blank), Evince will open the file and show the text correctly but will give the following errors in the terminal: Error: ExtGState 'GSoverprint' is unknown Error: ExtGState 'GSknockout' is unknown .... Rebeated several time. Sample: \setupcolors[overprint=yes] \starttext Hello \TeX. \stoptext ConTeXt version 2009.08.13 and 2009.08.16 Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

setuptyping in MKIV
by Aditya Mahajan 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

Hi, If I set option to empty in setuptyping, the output of \starttyping stoptyping is colored. \setuptyping[option=] \starttext \starttyping % This is a test \stoptyping \stoptext This works fine in MKII, but in MKIV the % is colored. The color goes away if I set option=none. I think this is a bug, but cannot figure out its cause. Aditya

make references somewhere in text
by Xan 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi, perhaps a stupid question, but I can't find it. How can I define a reference in the plain text. For example something like: "Hello this is the \reference[here] text" and do something like \in[here] Thanks a lot, Xan.

bib module: changing citation style locally
by Mojca Miklavec 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hello (Taco or anyone else), I have an impression that it used to be possible to say \cite[author][reference], but I'm obviously doing something wrong here, I only get Xxxxxxx or in case of [data] I don't get anything at all (I'm using mkii). Here's an almost-minimal example: \usemodule [bib] \setuppublications [alternative=num, criterium=all, sorttype=cite] \setuppublicationlist [artauthor=\normalshortauthor, author=\normalshortauthor] \starttext first: \cite[Knoll] second: \cite[author][Knoll], \cite[alternative=author][Knoll] third: \cite[data][Knoll] \startpublication[k=Knoll,t=book,a=Knoll] \title{Radiation Detection and Measurement} \author[]{Glenn Frederick}[G.~F.]{}{Knoll} \pubname{Wiley, John \& Sons, Incorporated} \pubyear{1979} \stoppublication \placepublications \stoptext Thanks in advance for any hints, Mojca

\everymath problem
by eythanweg＠gmail.com 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Hi, I use luatex 0.43 with yesterday's beta. Running \everymath = {\displaystyle} \starttext ${a\over b}$ \stoptext results in ! Use of \dospecialabout doesn't match its definition. l.4 ${a\over b }$ Plain format under luatex has no problem here. If I change \over to \times it runs with fonts changed to roman (i.e, not math italics). Thank you. Eythan

Align and nested combinations
by Xan 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi, With this code: \placefigure [here] [fig:graf-Cayley-Z2xZ3] {An example of \type{\startcombination...}.} {\startcombination[1*2] {\startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[lb1]} {a1} {\externalfigure[lb2]} {a2} \stopcombination} {a} {\startcombination[1*1] {\externalfigure[lb1]} {b1} \stopcombination} {b} \stopcombination} I get all _left_ aligned (see attached file) and I want normal center aligned. How can I get this? Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: Please, CCme.
