how to setup local interlinespace
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi, setting up interlinespace in a local environment (eg. a quote) does not show any effect in mkiv anymore? Please have a look at this example: \usetypescript[postscript] \definetypeface[postscript][rm][serif][times][default] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt] \setuplayout[grid=tolerant] \definestartstop[quotetest] [before={\startnarrower\switchtobodyfont[8pt]\setuplocalinterlinespace[line=16pt]\setupwhitespace[0pt]\setupindenting[0em,yes]},after=\stopnarrower] \starttext \input tufte \par \startquotetest \input tufte \par \stopquotetest \stoptext Steffen

How to align a STEPchart?
by Otared Kavian 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi all, Sorry for asking again an elementary question… How is it possible to have a STEPchart be midaligned, or right-aligned, as one may do this with figures, tables, and FLOWcharts? An example is here: \usemodule[steps,mathml] \starttext \startbuffer[test-chart] \startSTEPtable \cell {$c=2a+3b$} \text {with $a=5$} \cell {$c=10+3b$} \text {and $b=6$} \cell {$c=10+18$} \text {we get} \cell {$c=28$} \stopSTEPtable \stopbuffer How can one center this STEPchart? \getbuffer[test-chart] \stoptext I should add that \startalignment[middle], or \placefigure do not have any influence on the alignment of the above example. Best regards: OK

stack overflow

> can you run with --track=resolvers.* and see where it goes wrong It seems to get hung up looking for context.lua (which is there, in C:\contextminimal\tex\texmf-context\context\data\textadept). It ends up in an infinite loop, saying: context> MTXrun | fileio: file '\context.lua' is not readable over and over. I tried updating context minimals by saying: first-setup.bat --keep but this didn't fix it. -- m

wrong heights in TABLE
by Peter Münster 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hello, I don't know, what I'm doing wrong here. The number of rows in each column is only correct, when adding a seventh column: \startbuffer \setupTABLE[r][2,3,4,5,6,7][height=6ex] \bTABLE[width=0.125\textwidth] \bTR \bTH 1. col\eTH \bTH 2. col\eTH \bTH 3. col\eTH \bTH 4. col\eTH \bTH 5. col\eTH \bTH 6. col\eTH \doifmode{seven}{\bTH 7. col\eTH} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=6]6 rows in 1. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 2. col\eTD \bTD[nr=6]6 rows in 3. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 4. col\eTD \bTD 1 row in 5. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 6. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2] 2 rows in 5. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 2. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 4. col\eTD \bTD[nr=4]4 rows in 6. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2] 2 rows in 5. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 2. col\eTD \bTD[nr=2]2 rows in 4. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 row in 5. col\eTD \doifmode{seven}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \starttext \getbuffer\blank \enablemode[seven] \getbuffer \stoptext Where could be the problem?

clds and nesting
by Philipp Gesang 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi all, how do I get proper nesting with clds? Consider this: --8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------- context.placefigure( "none", function() context.framed( { frame="on", align="middle" }, function() context.input("knuth") end ) end ) context.par() function text () context.framed( { frame="on", align="middle" }, function() context.input("knuth") end ) end context.placefigure( "none", function () text() end ) --8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------- in both cases the text is displayed but framed() doesn't seem to be evaluated. What did I miss? Thanks for any hints, and big thanks to Hans for creating the cld interface.

Problem with lilypond module
by Lutz Haseloff 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi Mojca, Christopher, Hraban, Wolfgang, since a couple of days the lilypond module doesn't work anymore. Testfile: \usemodule[lilypond] \starttext There are some notes \lower 8.2pt\hbox{\lilypond[fragment=true]{\relative c' {c d e fis}}} embedded in this line. \stoptext Context creates a file "&1" with 0 Byte and a file "lilypond-1" in the current directory. In the log i find: !LilyPond ERROR : File 'lily1-lilypond-1.tmp' was not written! Processing file "lilypond-1" directly with lilypond works. Greetings Lutz

Thank you, Taco. I'm still going over the font docs. Today: \starttext test \stoptext results in: mtxrun.lua:2167: stack overflow It worked yesterday.

Hallo, if I write $0,8$ the distance between the ',' and the '8' is too big. I can write $0,\!8$ or an other kern, but I don't see how I can write a macro to avoid the extra effort. Shouldn't be this gap in german (\mainlanguage[deo]) as big as $0.8$ in US? Is there a switch I have overseen? ------------------------------------------- \mainlanguage[deo] \starttext $0,8$ $0.8$ $0,\!8$ \stoptext ------------------------------------------- Thank you Wolfgang

underbar/underbars interchanged?
by Hans van der Meer 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

In the (old) ConTeXT manual one finds for \underbar{} an example giving underlining of its whole argument. In contrast \underbars{} should not underline the spaces, as demonstrated by the example given. However, the actual behaviour seems just the opposite. Or has the role of these macros changed in the meantime? The wording (singular versus plural) indicates to me the opposite of the behaviour shown. By the way, quoting breaks the underline flow! A minimal example: \starttext \underbar{These words are done with \quote{underbar}}\crlf \underbars{These words are done with \quote{underbars}}\crlf \stoptext result: ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.02 12:34 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.8 int: english/english Hans van der Meer
