Bug in fontswitching
by Willi Egger 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hi, There seems to be a bug in the font switching mechanism. When using the fonts at small sizes up to 12pt everything is fine. However I detected while developing a title page, that larger sizes will not be honored. I.e. that the font where it is switched to is not loaded at all. See attached minimal example. Kind regards Willi

Hi, please have a look at this minimal example below: the version temporary gives an overfullrule for body text but not for footnotes! Is there something can be done (for the short term)?

Featurerequest: \contextversion
by Jonas Stein 10 Dec '10

It would be nice to have a command \contextversion \luaversion \pdftexversion that prints the current context version numbers. That could be a great deal for trouble shooting in the fast growing context world. I could not find a similar command in the wiki. Is that possible? -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

bib problems
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

All, I've begun summarizing the bibliography problems. Could you all see if your particular problem is mentioned here? If I missed something, please send your test files to the list or to me, please use the sample.bib which is now included in the minimals, and please make the test cases as short as possible. Hans and Taco, one general remark: one thing that is confusing is that the key/value pair "criterium=XXX" is present for the \setuppublications and for the \setuppublicationlist and for the \placepublications command, yet seems to do slightly different things in each. Maybe that's a place where the interface should be changed? Here's what I have so far: % Example 1, posted in a slightly different form by "Curiouslearn" on % 2010-11-25: Hagen 2010c is not quoted and should not be in the list of % references. On 2010-11-26, Mathieu Boespflug made a further observation on % the original testfile which I can't reproduce because it's too complex. Can % you show the effect by modifying this simple case? \setuppublications[state=start,refcommand=authoryear] \setupbibtex[database=sample] \starttext \section{Test} This \cite[hh2010a] and that \cite[Eijkhout1991] \section{References} \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext % Example 2: a spurious entry [4] in the list of references. \setuppublications[state=start,alternative=num] \setupbibtex[database=sample] \starttext \section{Test} This \cite[hh2010a] and that \cite[Eijkhout1991] \section{References} \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext % Example 3, posted by Mojca on 2010-11-29: horizontal spacing of list of % references is insufficient \setuppublications [alternative=num] \setuppublicationlayout[web]{% {\sc url}: \inserturl{}{}{}% } \dorecurse{1200}{\startpublication[k=a\recurselevel,t=web] \biburl{http://pragma-ade.nl}\stoppublication} \starttext \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext % Example 4, posted by Charles Doherty on 2010-10-20: no references are typeset \setuppublications[criterium=all,numbering=no] \setupbibtex[database=sample,sort=author] \starttext \section{References} \placepublications \stoptext Please add further short examples; I will aggregate and send everything to Hans.

TABLE help
by barney schwartz 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Wolfgang, In MKIV using TABLE: All seems to work well enough UNTIL I use \placetable. I have enormous table that run pages in length. I need them split0 repeat and that works fine until I add: \placetable[here][tab:five]{Descriptive Statistics for Salaried Men \& Women} { . . . . . . . . . } I lose ALL page breaks and the table dissappears off the bottom of the page. LOST no breaks. Think you could help? barney

Math and bold font
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

Hello all, I'd to explain some effects in the .pdf from the code bellow. It was copied from co-font.pdf, pg. 19-20; just "Abc" was added to try something. --- \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext $Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ $\bf Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ $Abc\sqrt{625}=\bf5\alpha$ $\bfmath Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ \definetypeface[whow][mm][math,boldmath][modern][default]%[encoding=texnansi] [] $Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ $\bf Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ $Abc\sqrt{625}=\bf5\alpha$ $\bfmath Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ \usetypescriptfile[typeface] $Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ $\bf Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ $Abc\sqrt{625}=\bf5\alpha$ $\bfmath Abc\sqrt{625}=5\alpha$ \stoptext --- Things I cannot do or understand: - The "alpha" symbol is not printed as soon as it's used in \bf or \bfmath mode (lines 2-4 in each paragraph). Why? How to make it appear? - - The same effect may be observed in the co-fonts.pdf at the pg. 19 at the lowest line - there is bold font working, but "alpha" is missing as well. - - - Unfortunately, there is no fully working example in the document with bold math and "alpha" together. - In my example, normal (thin) "Abc" is shown a bit slanted (as should be in math mode). Once it is used in bold math mode, it's no more slanted but "vertical" as normal text. Is there a way how to keep the "slantedness" even in math bold mode? (This is e.g. often used to mark vectors.)

Redefine symbols for new command \morse{.-..}
by Jonas Stein 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

i'd like to define a new command \define[]\short{\dontleavehmode \blackrule[width=0.4em]\ } \define[]\long {\dontleavehmode \blackrule[width=1.4em]\ } \define[1] \morse {MAGIC} \morse{.-..} should create a \short for every '.' and \long for every '-' But this transcription should be only active in the "morse environment" Is that possible? Who knows the MAGIC? Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

equation numbering: subfurmulas
by Mojca Miklavec 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

I took the following document as a source: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/b/b4/Mathalign.pdf (Btw: Aditya, why isn't the latest version also on http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.pdf?) Section 4.2 says one thing and does the other ... I want to have my equations numbered as a_1 = (1,0,0) (1a) a_2 = (0,1,0) (1b) a_3 = (0,0,1) (1c) and then reference them as equation (1). The example from Aditya's document says the following: \placesubformula \startformula \startalign \NC a_1 x + b_1 y \NC = c_1 \NR[+][a] \NC a_2 x + b_2 y \NC = c_2 \NR[+][b] \stopalign \stopformula But if I try that in MKII, I get (0a) and (0b), while if I try that in MKIV, I get (1) and (2). How do I get (1a) and (1b) with both MKII and MKIV? Mojca (I'm asking about MKII since I have a completely different problem with every new MKIV version released and I really need to finish that document even if MKIV crashes or a nuclear war starts ... :) :) :)
