"\setuplabeltext [appendix=Appendix ]" broken mkiv
by Alan BRASLAU 23 May '10

23 May '10

1. Setting the labeltext "appendix=Appendix " with \startappendices is broken in mkiv; somewhat works in mkii. What am I doing wrong? 2. How to set the label correctly in the TOC? Alan Minimal example \setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter ] % with trailing space; blank by default \setuplabeltext [appendix=Appendix ] % with trailing space; blank by default \setuphead [chapter] [placehead=yes] \setuplist [chapter] [label=yes,width=5em,alternative=c] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter {one} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter {first} \input knuth \stopappendices \stoptext

U3D inclusion
by gummybears 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

In november last year Hans Hagen was so kind to send me a copy of back-u3d.mkiv which is now included in the latest beta. As Hans mentioned the code he gave me is untested. After a couple of tests here are my findings *) The preview does not work at this moment. I only see a light blue square which can be activated. After which the 3d viewer shows the embedded 3d image *) Specifying several views as shown in back-u3d.mkiv shows up in the resulting pdf as "unknown view" *) I also experimented with different values for coo, c2c, roll etc. When not specifying any of these settings the embedded 3d is always shown with the incorrect roll i.e the roll is always 90 degrees off For anyone interested, the 3d file was produced with Asymptote 1.91 ( http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/) =============== Context sample code ============================== \starttext \startluaparameterset [u3d:myset:display:1] toolbar=false, preview="prcu3d/loading.png", view = { name = 'default', bg = {1,1,1}, mag = 25, coo = {2,2,2}, c2c = {0,0,1}, rot = {40,0,60}, roo = 2, lights = 'CAD' } \stopluaparameterset \useexternalfigure [cubes] [prcu3d/cubes.prc] [width=\textwidth, height=0.5\textwidth, display=u3d:myset:display:1] \placefigure[here]{3d cube}{\externalfigure[cubes]} \stoptext ========================== end of Context sample code =======================================

Margin terminology -- badly documented, undocumented, or misdocumented
by James Fisher 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi all. I am trying to understand the terminology for the \definelayout and \setuplayout commands. Unfortunately the documentation at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layoutdoesn't correspond to the actual output I get. Nor does the 'documentation' at http://getfo.org/context_xml/page3.html , which the first page recommends. More, the two pages seem pretty contradictory. Consider my situation: I'm trying to set up an A4 page with the following margins (I use the term margin to mean the space from the edge of the physical paper to the edge of the body text area): top: 2.97cm bottom: 2.97cm left: 2.1cm right: 2.1cm For the moment, I don't care at all about header and footer space, nor notes in the margins; I'm just trying to get the above margins. However, with all conceivable combinations of commands at both of those pages, I've been unable to set anything like this up. Based on the getfo.org page, I should be able to set up these left and right margins with: backspace=2.1cm, cutspace=2.1cm But, looking at the result, and also with using \showlayout (which for some reason, AFAICS, generates four identical pages at the beginning of the document), this quite obviously doesn't do what getfo.org claims. I have also tried setting everything to 0cm with the exception of any random one of the measurements that go into making a margin, which I would set to 2.1cm. No avail here, either. Can someone give me the configuration I would need for the above required margins? Even better, can someone give me the definitive definitions of all the terms used in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout, algebraically rather than as ambiguous tables of "Remarks"? This would help a bunch. Many thanks, James Fisher

bookmarks point to page, not to section start
by Mojca Miklavec 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello Hans, I suspect that bookmarks to sections point to pages only, not to the exact position where the sections start. I have another document generated with Word and when I click to it, the viewer (Preview.app) goes straight to section start, while when I generate the document with ConTeXt, it only goes to the page, not to exact section start. The behaviour seems to be the same in both MKII and MKIV (MKII only doesn't respect the accented characters; but I understand the pain of recoding). I'm using the following code to place the bookmarks: \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupinteractionscreen [option=bookmark] \placebookmarks [section,subsection,subsubsection] [section,subsection] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\section{title} \input tufte} \stoptext Mojca PS: I can send a sample word-generated document off-list for comparison if needed.

[ntg-context] ppchtex questions and maybe buglets
by Bernhard Rosensteiner 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi all, ppchtex is really nice. after experimenting with it i found some buglets: \starttext \setupchemical[axis=off,frame=on, option=test, size=medium, scale=medium, right=2000, left=3000, height=6000,textsize=medium]%textsize and option=test has no effect - why? \startchemical \chemical[SIX,SB135,DB246,SR6,Z,CRZ6][N,C,N,C,C,C,{\LC{\color[green]{NH}}}]%here color works \color[green]{\chemical[ADJ3,Five,SB235,DB4,Z345,SR3,CRZ3][N,C,H,H]}%color does not work here, manual says it should -why? \bottext{\offset[y=-\baselineskip]{Adenin}} \stopchemical \stoptext maybe someone can also explain how the OFF key works. the behaviour is strange in my opinion. i found nothing precise in the manual. onhttp://chneukirchen.org/blog/archive/2004/05/ppchtex.html i found following explanation: 18OFF1: do 18 small steps in direction 1 (right) but this don´t work - even with the example on the homepage. best regards Bernhard

[MkII] Difference in output in minimals versus TeX Live 2009
by Vedran Miletić 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi, is minimals supposed to have the same output using MkII as TeX Live 2009? Or have I missunderstood what does it mean that 'MkII is frozen'? I ask because I get different results on same document. I'm using Palatino font. It seems related to spacing between letters in "il" and "ij" that is larger in current minimals. Any ideas why? -- Vedran Miletić

MK-II to MK-IV
by gummybears 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi, A couple of years ago, I decided to switch from LaTex to ConText. Now I have compiled a lot of documents (Physics syllabi's) which compiles fine in MK-II. I thought I would try to make a switch to MK-IV, mainly because I want to include 3D PRC figures in my documents. I made some test cases to test MK-IV in order to get a handle on the differences between MK-II and MK-IV Some of my observations are *) Numbered formulas, numbered by section, don't seem to work *) I am getting a lot of warnings of identifiers, apparently used more than once, which they are not LuaTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{km1_chapter1_sec1}) has been already used, duplicate ignored Question Are these observations correct, someone else can confirm them ? Question If so, is there a fix, patch, or change in ConText commands/options I am not aware of ? TIA
