How to avoid that \writetolist becomes a page-breaker
by Marco Pessotto 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Probably due to my abuse of \writetolist, I noticed that inserting \writetolist right after \subject makes TeX to think that it can break the page there without problems. See the following minimal example: %===============cut here============= \definelist[myrandompart] \starttext \dorecurse{12}{ \input reich } \subject{\bf Wrong!} \writetolist[myrandompart]{It's a test} \input knuth \page \dorecurse{12}{ \input reich } \subject{\bf Correct!} %\writetolist[myrandompart]{It's a test} \input knuth %===============cut here============= I'm pretty sure the solution is out there. Some hints would be very welcome. Thanks in advance -- Marco

bold small caps
by Peter Münster 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hello, Is there a font in the minimals with bold small caps? I've tried lm and some tex-gyre fonts, but no success so far... Test file: \setupbodyfont[???] \starttext {\sc\bf Test} or {\bf\sc Test} should give bold small caps... \stoptext http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Pseudo_Small_Caps seems to apply only to mkii. TIA for any help! Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

how to redefine section headers
by Philipp A. 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

hi! i want to achieve the effect i see when using the following code, only in a semantically correct way (and without defining a \MyHeader macro like in some examples) \setuphead[section][numbercommand=\headtext{section}~] \setupheadtext[de][section=Aufgabe] \def\task{\section{}} so if my document looks like \starttext \task \task \stoptext this should render to: Aufgabe 1 Aufgabe 2 (i hope the mailing list delivers html mail) And maybe somebody knows a cool way to do this: \starttext \task \task[Graphs] \stoptext ↓↓↓↓ Aufgabe 1 Aufgabe 2: Graphs thank you!

Minimal ConTeXt and texfont!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi, I've removed my old TeXLive installation from my Linux box, an decided to start using ConTeXt only! So, I installed the ConTeXt minimals (from contextgarden) and everything seems to work just fine, but.. I want to try to install some new fonts and it is common practice to use texfont for that. ConTeXt comes with its own texfont, but when I type texfont at my linux-prompt, no texfont can be found? Do I need to install additional tools to be able to build new fonts? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Regards, Gerard Verhaag

writebetweenlist regression (mkiv)
by Marco 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hello there. Currently \writebetweenlist doesn't work as advised. It inserts the argument before the last entry of the list. The minimal example is provided by the reference itself. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/writebetweenlist The rule is correctly inserted at http://live.contextgarden.net/ and in the ConTeXt shipped with TeXlive 2010 (2010.05.24), but not with the current beta and the 2010.07.30 version. mkii works fine. It prints --rule-- List entry A List entry B Best regards -- Marco

installation on debian testing
by Jonas Stein 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi, context in debian testing is quite old (2009) will that destroy my packagemanager or is it a good idea, to try this: purge the installed context as root run # checkinstall bash then the commands of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#System-wide_installation -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>
