Hello, Formatting numbers seems to be buggy: \starttext \startMPcode drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .25pt withcolor .5white) ; draw hlingrid (0, 20, 1, 20cm, 10cm) ; fmt_pictures := false ; % use TeX as formatting engine draw hlintext.lft(0, 20, 1, 20cm, "@3e") ; \stopMPcode \stoptext See also page 381 of latest metafun-s.pdf.

footnotes
by Achim Jander 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hello! Nearly one year ago I posted a question about alignment of footnote-numbers to the list. I then was occupied by other projects, so I now want to catch up and thank you for your replies.I am now again trying to make some work using Context. At first, I have to state that I am impressed about the advancement of Context. But I still have some problems with footnotes: 1. My annoying alignment problem. We now have headalign=flushright, that is the right direction, but not sufficient. What I additionally need is that the width of the number-box is determined by the broadest number on the page, ie I need to have 1 2 3 ... but on the other page: ~8 ~9 10 of course the same with 99 and 100 and so on. In an ideal world, the indent of the footnote-text would also change, but for the moment I could live with an equal indent for all pages having only the alignment of the notes change. I then did some research, read the mail-list etc. What I found on the list was a short message about \doifnoteonsamepageelse, I thougt it could be a starting-point. But trying the given example \starttext \dorecurse {100} { test \footnote{\doifnoteonsamepageelse[footnote]{ibidem}{aaa}} } \stoptext gave me 100 nice little notes, all containing aaa, which was not what I had expected... I then wanted to figure out a little more what was happening, tried to enable tracking with \enabletrackers[structure.notes], but could not find any of the expected messages in the log? What is going on? Because this problem is a real show stopper for me, I hope you can help me getting a solution. 2. The second, but not equal important problem is multicolum footnotes. It seems only to work with very short footnotes, in my example \setupnote[footnote][n=2, columndistance=12pt] \starttext This is just for \footnote{note1} testing This is just for \footnote{note1} testing This is just for \footnote{note1} testing This is just for \footnote{note1} testing This is just for \footnote{This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines. This is a very long note which will cover multiple lines.} testing This is just for \footnote{note1} testing This is just for \footnote{note1} testing This is just for \footnote{note1} testing \stoptext the long footnote 5 covers both columns. 3. At last I tried to set the footnotes in one paragraph, a layout sometimes used in our publications. As I found, the setup should be \setupnote[footnote][n=0, location=text] but trying it with the text of problem 2 i only got an Arithmetic overflow. For clarification, I am using ConTeXt ver: 2010.12.10 15:15 MKIV fmt: 2010.12.11 int: english/english Thanks, Achim

Fonts in MKII
by Tom 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

I am confused about using fonts in MKII. Which documentation provides the best explanation and most accurate of how to use fonts in MKII. I am particularly interested in using fonts that are bundled in Tex-Live. I will leave bringing in other fonts till later when I understand the basics.

customized item list symbol/graphic
by Jan-Erik Hägglöf 11 Dec '10

11 Dec '10

HI All Contexters out there! I'm a Guy from sweden who will appreciate a possible solution to following problem. I'm interested in to do a personalized itemlist with a symbol created in metapost. Here is an example: \startuniqueMPgraphic{square} draw roundedsquare(20,20,2) withrgbcolor (.625,0,0); \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[square][\uniqueMPgraphic{square}] \setupitemgroup [itemize] [1] [symbol=square] \starttext \startitemize[1,columns] \dorecurse{10}{\item itempoint \par} \stopitemize \stoptext This doesn't have any effect so my question is how do I manage this? I did following as an alternative solution and it worked as I wanted but If I run this example the linebreak comes in to the next column(third item), which is not what I want. See example below! \definedescription [task] [text=\uniqueMPgraphic{square}, width=broad] \startcolumns \dorecurse{5}{\task very long sentence i will now write to create this weird issue \par} \stopcolumns How do I prevent this, or is there a better solution? Many thanks in advance Janneman

\SetTableToWidth undefined?
by Richard Stephens 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hello all, I have just noticed that \SetTableToWidth does not work in MKIV. Simple example below. \starttext \SetTableToWidth{8cm} \starttable[|l|l|] \NC One \NC Two \NC\SR \NC Three \NC Four \NC\LR \stoptable \stoptext I get the error: ! Undefined control sequence. l.3 \SetTableToWidth {8cm} It does work in MKII and also works if you use \tableSetTableToWidth. Have I missed something, is something wrong or is it just me?
