What color is "screen"?
by Mojca Miklavec 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello, a half-philosophical question (not too relevant). I was wondering: what color exactly is the "screen" (\framed[background=screen]{...})? Or is it a special effect maybe? I know that using it has long been deprecated, but I used it in many older documents as it was easiest to remember without having to think what shade of gray to use to make the highlights in document come out nice. But I just figured out that it became invisible on my screen. One can still see it very very faintly if computer screen is under some weird angle, but a normal glimpse shows nothing. When printed it usually comes out with a rather high contrast. (It may be that I have just changed screen contrast by accident.) I was trying to find the revent line with color, but I don't find it. I noticed grph-fig.mkii: \c!backgroundscreen=.8, but 0.8 is definitely higher that used in documents by default. Thanks, Mojca

suggestions for MKIV
by Peter Münster 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hello Hans, Since there is no more need, to keep compatibility with MKII (there are already a lot of differences), I suggest - for the benefit of beginners - to change at least 2 things: - let \framed or \externalfigure behave like \parbox and \includegraphics in LaTeX, i.e. no more need to put \dontleavehmode before the command (the current behaviour is just not very intuitive...) - let align=left|right behave correctly Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Thank you, but one small concern. If I omit second argument altoghether, that is \author{Bla-bla} is it possible to have skip? (Now skip doesn't work until I provide empty second parenthesizes) Regards, Vyatcheslav > \author{Bla-bla}{} > > > \define[2]\author{{\itx (#1)}{\hfill\tx bpm=#2\doifnothing{#2} > {\hskip1cm}}} > >

Initialisation problem enumeration and way=bysection
by B. Vogel 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi all, I have an enumeration: example that will reset by section. Using my own header: Mysection the enumeration is not reset by section. The second instance shows the failure. However, after a \section it suddenly works. And there is a problem with the sectioncounter as well. The headingnumbers are 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 instead of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. See the example below. Regard, Bernard %MTXrun | current version: 2009.08.17 19:06 % linux-32 \definehead[Mysection][section] \defineenumeration[example] [way=bysection, location=left] \def\test{% \ifnum\currentenumerationfullnumber=\recurselevel\relax \currentenumerationfullnumber = \recurselevel\ PASS% \else \currentenumerationfullnumber \not= \recurselevel\ FAIL% \fi } \starttext \dorecurse {2} { \dorecurse {2} { \Mysection{Mysection} \dorecurse {3} {\startexample \test \stopexample} } \dorecurse {2} { \section{Section} \dorecurse {3} {\startexample \test \stopexample} } } \stoptext

disappeared fontstyle command?
by Hans van der Meer 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

This used to define command \fx in a typescript: \definefontstyle [fax] [fx] \definestyle [fax] [\fx] [] However MKIV produces an undefined control sequence \fx. What happened? Hans van der Meer

bold and nonbold math
by Hans van der Meer 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Working on typescripts for Y&Y's LucidaBright (which are type1 fonts) for MKIV (hoping to maintain compatibilty with MKII), the following code produces all math in bold, even the first x+y. \usetypescript[luc]\setupbodyfont[luci]\starttext $x+y$ -- $\bfmath x+y$ \stoptext I studied the new manual chapter on typescripts as well as have worked in analogy with existent typescripts in the current ConTeXt base. I certainly am missing an important clue here. The relevant portions of the typescript are: \starttypescriptcollection[luci] \starttypescript [luci] \definetypeface [luci][mm][math][lucibr][default] \definetypeface [luci][mm][bfmath][lucibr][default] % removal prints nonbold math only \stoptypescript ... % typescripts for text in serif, sans etc. omitted but contain: \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright][lbr.tfm][encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi][lbd.tfm][encoding= \typescriptthree] ... \starttypescript [math] [lucibr] [name] \usemathcollection [lucibr] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman][LucidaBright] ... etc. \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mr=MathRoman mo 1, ex=MathExtension mo 1, ... etc.] .. math font tfm definitions \stoptypescript \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucibr] [name] \usemathcollection [lucibr] \definefontsynonym [MathRomanBold] [LucidaBright-Demi] ... etc. \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mrbf=MathRomanBold mo 1, exbf=MathExtensionBold mo 1, ... etc.] .. bold font tfm definitions \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection Hans van der Meer
