linebreak in part title
by Michael Goerz 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi everyone, I want part titles to appear on the own (empty) page, centered horizontally and vertically, and in small caps. To this end, I've set up the \part command as \def\Partcommand#1#2{\centerline{\smcp #2}} \setuphead[part][ placehead=yes, number=no, page=mychapterpagebreak, header=high, footer=high, before={\hbox{}\vfill}, command=\Partcommand, after={\vfill}, prefix=no, ] However, this does not seem to allow line breaks in a part title, which is a problem with very long titles, e.g. \part{Perspectives on Decision Ethics from the USA, Russian Federation, Egypt, and the Czech Republic} Is there any way to get a line break on the part page? I should note that in the TOC, the part title is broken properly, and also observes \crlf. Thanks, Michael

FiXme-module
by Andreas Harder 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi Wolfgang, I've played a bit with your FiXme-module. First of all, thanks for the work! But I ran into following issues. 1. Something is going wrong if I allow interaction. So the text is marked as a link, but one can't jump to the right location. 2. Instead of margin notes I would like to use PDF annotations, so I tried: \setupfixme [before={\startcomment[FiXme]}, after=\stopcomment] This gives an error. 3. Is it possible to save the FiXme-list in a external text file? Something like \savebuffer[expanded list of fixmes][list.txt] \usemodule[fixme] % \setupfixme % -> error % [before={\startcomment[FiXme]}, % after=\stopcomment] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuplist[fixme][interaction=all] \starttext \fixme{To be done …} \input knuth \fixme{To be done …} \input tufte \fixme{To be done …} \page \placelist[fixme] \stoptext Best regards Andreas

MkIV doesn't find font
by Oliver Heins 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

I try to use Minion Pro as main font: \usetypescriptfile[type-adobe] \usetypescript[minion] \setupbodyfont[minion] To my irritation, ConTeXt/LuaTeX complains about not finding the font. […] (/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typescripts/type-adobe.mkiv) define fonts > font with name minionpro-regular is not found define fonts > unknown font minionpro-regular, loading aborted define fonts > unable to define minionpro-regular as \*minion12ptrmtf* […] However, Minion Pro is installed on the system, running $ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=minionpro* shows lots of entries. However, there is no such font as minionpro-regular, but minionproregular (without the hyphen): Running "$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=minionproregular" yields "minionproregular minionprocapt /usr/local/share/fonts/MinionPro_Capt.otf", while "$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=minionpro-regular" returns an empty result. What am I doing wrong?

Ligatures on Linux Libertine Bold Italic
by Marco 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hello there. I'm pretty new to ConTeXt and I'm really impressed by your work. So a huge thanks is due. Anyway. Today I found that Linux Libertine Bold Italic doesn't create the ligatures. These work on XeTeX. I took a look at /tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv where the libertine typescript is defined, but I couldn't find anything wrong. The fonts are the one shipped with the latest updated TeXlive 2010 (they are correctly loaded). With other fonts the ligatures for Bold Italic are created, so I'm a bit lost. Is my setup broken somehow? Or the fonts are broken? Or is it a bug? Thanks in advance. %%%% start minimal example %%%%% \usetypescript[termes,libertine] \setupbodyfont[termes,12pt] \def\testtext{ The fi ffl ffi fluf \par {\it The fi ffl ffi fluf fi} \par {\bf The fi ffl ffi fluf} \par {\bi The fi ffl ffi fluf}\par} \starttext Termes: \testtext \switchtobodyfont[libertine,12pt] Libertine: \testtext \stoptext %%%%% end minimal example %%%%%% ConTeXt ver: 2010.11.03 19:42 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.8 LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010091123 (From the latest minimal distribution) pdffonts output name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- PHAMRR+TeXGyreTermes-Regular CID Type 0C yes yes yes 18 0 OOTVTU+TeXGyreTermes-Italic CID Type 0C yes yes yes 19 0 QEYIRB+TeXGyreTermes-Bold CID Type 0C yes yes yes 20 0 ONUACL+TeXGyreTermes-BoldItalic CID Type 0C yes yes yes 21 0 YFUCDN+LinLibertineO CID Type 0C yes yes yes 22 0 PYLANJ+LinLibertineOI CID Type 0C yes yes yes 23 0 LBBYDA+LinLibertineOB CID Type 0C yes yes yes 24 0 FBIQKN+LinLibertineOBI CID Type 0C yes yes yes 25 0 -- Marco

TEI XML
by Daniel Grycman 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi list, used the example on the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TEI_xml) but I didn't get any correct output. I used Mark IV. I want to use TEI for an project and use ConTeXt for the specific output. Is it a good choice? Daniel

context export

Hi Hans, On Sun, 07 Nov 2010 16:23:37 +0100 Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> wrote: > Hi Manfred, > > some reading ... it should not be to hard to map the xml onto > html ... relevant details are in attributes > Hmm, but I would need to have a dtd or schema file in order write a transformation (xslt or so) to html. The other possibility would be to make the html creation an iterative process along the creation of the context document. I'd would prefer the first possibility, though. Instead of using xslt I also could code the transformation in Lua. What xml lib do you recommend to use in Lua? Currently, I have no time to code the xml --> htmp conversion. However, considering above ideas I could start with markdown as discussed in the other thread which has limitations but gives me a context source for free as a starting point. -- Thanks, Manfred

Hi, I would like to define something like this: \def\startSolution{\startmode[solutions]...} \def\stopSolution{...\stopmode} But when I use \startSolution and \stopSolution, and mode solutions isn't enabled, I get something like Runaway argument? aaa \stopSolution \stoptext ! File ended while scanning use of \dostopmode. system > error on line 0 in file : File ended while scanning use of \dostopmode ... What's the proper way of doing this? -- Vedran Miletić
