indentnext after \placefigure[page]
by Marco Pessotto 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hello there. I'm struggling with the indentnext parameter. Please see the next minimal example: %%% start minimal %%%% \setupindenting[yes, medium, first] \setupheads[indentnext=yes] \setupfloats[indentnext=yes] \starttext \placefigure [here,nonumber]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]} test test \input knuth \placefigure [page,nonumber]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]} %%% adding \indent doesn't help {\bf test test} \input knuth \stoptext %%% stopt %%%% The first "test test" is indented as expected, the following, after the \placefigure[page] is not. adding \indent doesn't help. Tested both with the latest beta and the context live, with the same outcome. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance. -- Marco

ppchtex, color and mkiv
by Jörg Hagmann 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

From a thread on this list (May 2009: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090512.132914.5c29b5f4.en.html) I gather that whereas colouring a whole molecule works fine, colouring groups within a chemical structure is not yet fully implemented in mkiv. Is that still correct? Putting colour on atoms works with {\blue C} etc. or "\defineprocessor ... etc. chemred->C" etc.. However, I couldn't find a way to colour the bonds belonging to the group. Is there one? ppchTEX does a superb job and I hope that the most useful features will be implemented in the near future in mkiv! Jörg

hello all In a index, is there a way to sort the items inside a letter not alphabetically, I mean, in appearance order? or maybe there is another way to do it. I have now: A arbol blanco, 15 rojo, 4 verde, 23 araña grande, 50 linda, 12 I want: A arbol rojo, 4 blanco, 15 verde, 23 araña linda, 12 grande, 50 Thankyou in adavance. --------------------Horacio Suarez

MacTeX / ConTeXt: Very long compile times, cache rebuilds every time
by Andrew Starks 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hello, Whenever I compile a document, it appears that mtxrun and simple fonts must rebuild/remake/generate every time. mtxrun starts off with: MTXrun | warning: source mismatch (luv: 144e2249a1a87cb1144311e3cfb4f0e1 <> bin: 40142b7d400e559a49cf2e9f12599280), forcing remake It appears to not throw errors about saving the cache.

When I update my minimal via the script first-setup.sh new files in the directory /tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user are deleted. If I understand the name correct, then the script should keep files in this directory Herbert

font, line spacing issues
by Peter Davis 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

As an experiment, I'm trying to duplicate a sample InDesign document with ConTeXt. I'm getting the overall layout (though my image positions need tweaking), but I'm having some problems with the fonts. I'm following the examples in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/showfont.pdf , but I haven't seen the \switchtotypeface operator documented anywhere else. I'm on a Windows 7 machine, with minimals installed. I'm trying to use some of the system fonts (Minion, Impact, Myriad), but all I seem to get is CMR. Also, the line spacing on the paragraph at the top of the second page seems very weird. It's an address, and the bottom line is much too high relative to the spacing of the other lines. Here's the file: \definepapersize[card][width=792pt,height=612pt] \setuppapersize[card][card] \definetypeface[impact[rm][serif][mpact regular][default] \definetypeface[minion][rm][serif][Minion Pro Regular][default] \definetypeface[myriad][rm][serif][Myriad Pro Regular][default] \setupcolor[cmyk] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[red][c=0,m=.87,y=.87,k=0] \definelayer[textbox][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=textbox] \def\starttextbox {\dosingleargument\dostarttextbox} \def\dostarttextbox[#1]% {\def\stoptextbox{\setlayerframed[textbox][width=6cm,align=normal,frame=off,#1]{\getbuffer[textbox]}}% \startbuffer[textbox][starttextbox][stoptextbox]} \starttext %\starttextbox[x=12pt,y=20pt,width=768pt] %\useexternalfigure[ador1][Chrysanthemum.jpg][width=768pt] %\placefigure[here,force][]{none}{\externalfigure[ador1]} %\stoptextbox \starttextbox[x=195.3pt,y=115.2pt,width=560.7pt] \switchtotypeface[impact][48pt] \midaligned{Yo, First!} \stoptextbox \page[empty] \starttextbox[x=447.6pt,y=228pt,width=229.5pt] \switchtotypeface[minion][14pt]% Title.

Re: [NTG-context] Defining a command for enumeration+block
by Glen Callaghan 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

> You can?t use blocks within other commands but when you use only enumerations in your block you can simplify your code a little bit. > > \defineblock[Block] > \defineenumeration[Enum][location=left,text=Test] > > \setupblock[Block][before=\startEnum,after=\stopEnum] Thanks very much Wolfgang, that seems to work well enough for me. Interestingly though, the formatting is slightly different between defining the blocks and using (recalling) the blocks. When I recall the blocks, the text appears a line below the enumeration labels (see example + attachment below). I had always assumed that \define just did a text replacement (like in c).... looks like I was wrong. How does \define actually work? Could you point me towards some documentation.... I'm struggling to find anything about \define. thanks Glen ------------- \defineblock[Block] \defineenumeration[Enum][location=left,text=Test] \setupblock[Block][before=\startEnum,after=\stopEnum] \starttext \section{Use} \useblocks[Block] \reset[Enum] \section{Define} \beginBlock jhdsa hdsfhj lh dsfjh jkhasdf sdakjhfsal sdkajhf kljsdh \endBlock \beginBlock jhdsa hdsfhj lh dsfjh jkhasdf sdakjhfsal sdkajhf kljsdh fhlkjsad kah dkjh akjhd flkjs lkjsad flkjh salkjhf asd \endBlock \stoptext

[OT] Adobe Reader X released
by Vedran Miletić 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Adobe silently released Reader X, for now only for Windows. It can be downloaded from: http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-READER Installer for offline installation can be downloaded from. ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/ It allows saving PDF after adding comments or highlighting text. AFAIR, Reader 9 didn't offer that. Regards, -- Vedran Miletić
