unicode subscripts
by Yury G. Kudryashov 30 May '10

30 May '10

Hi! Unicode subscripts do not work (at least, in math): \starttext $a₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₋₌₊$ \stoptext prints only "a". The file char-def.lua contains block like this: [0x2080]={ category="no", description="SUBSCRIPT ZERO", direction="en", linebreak="al", specials={ "sub", 0x0030 }, unicodeslot=0x2080, }, Which file should handle this "specials={ "sub", 0x0030 }"? P.S.: Superscript digits work. Probably, the font contains ¹ but not ₁.

stelinterliniein

Hello, What \stelinterliniein means in the following (taken from Skdk style). \def\StartTitlePage% {\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] \setupbackgrounds[header][text][background=] \switchtobodyfont[ss,18pt] \setupalign[right] \setupindenting[0pt] \stelinterliniein \vfil \let\\=\blank} I suppose that it is \setupinterlinespace, but it does not work without arguments, as seen in my minimal example: --------------- \setuphead [Part] [number=no, style={\ss\bfd}, page=right] \def\StartTitlePage% {\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] \setupbackgrounds[header][text][background=] \switchtobodyfont[ss,18pt] \setupalign[right] \setupindenting[0pt] \setupinterlinespace \vfil \let\\=\blank} \def\StopTitlePage% {\vfill {\tfx Version \currentdate[year,-,mm,-,dd] } \stopstandardmakeup } \def\TitlePage#1{\StartTitlePage\Part{#1}\StopTitlePage} \starttext \TitlePage{Hello} \stoptext ------------------------ Regards, Vyatcheslav

Yes, it can get confusing: uname -s uname -m uname -p ---------------------------------------- Intel Q9400 (Core2 Quad): FreeBSD amd64 amd64 GNU/kFreeBSD x86_64 amd64 Linux x86_64 unknown 32bit os (same processor): FreeBSD ?

The official 64bit OS name is "amd64" for FreeBSD, GNU/kFreeBSD and Linux. However, uname -m gives differing results and depends on the version of the running OS, not the real underlying processor; A 64bit processor can run a 32bit OS. Alan

urls longer than 57 characters fail in the bibliography

\usemodule[bib] \newcommand{\myurl}[2]{\useURL[#1][#2][][\hyphenatedurl{#2}]{\ss\from[#1]}} \starttext \cite[test] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext works with: @BOOK{test, title = {test title}, publisher = {test title}, year = {2010}, author = {test author}, note = {\myurl{testurl}{123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567}} } but fails with: note = {\myurl{testurl}{1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678}} however, this \myurl statement works in the body.

unicode integral sign
by Yury G. Kudryashov 29 May '10

29 May '10

Hi! I try the following: \starttext $∫_a^b \int_a^b$ \stoptext In the first case, the integral sign is below the text. Should I use another font, or is it possible to fix with the default one?

margin notes
by Yury G. Kudryashov 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi! I try to use \inmargin{some text} in context Mk IV, and the resulting margin notes overlap. Is there any way to emulate LaTeX's marginpars (they're considered floats, hence can be moved to avoid overlaps)? Minimal example: \starttext \inmargin{first} \inmargin{second} \stoptext -- Yury G.

MkIV, XML and raw TeX input
by Martin Kolařík 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hello, I have found a problem when switching from MkII to MkIV -- I am using a XML containing raw TeX (a temporary solution for math, which lasts for four years now) and now, in MkIV, I did not succeed to adopt TeX anyhow. The math is typeset in math style, but obviously characters read from XML have improper catcode set. I tried some tricks with \scantokens, but nothing helped. Here is my XML (the element is root): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mathtex>\int_0^\pi {sin x\over x} > 0</mathtex> And here is my ConTeXt environment file (I am using version 2010.05.24 13:05): \startxmlsetups doc:mathtex $\xmlflush{#1}$ \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:doc} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{mathtex}{doc:*} \stopxmlsetups Any hint? Thank you, mk -- Martin Kolařík martin.kolarik(a)email.cz martin.kolarik(a)jabber.cz +420603535593

Doublesided option is clearing head & footer (MKIV)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hello all, When I set: \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location=footer] then document is generating OK, with defining header and footer. But when I set: \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location=footer, alternative=doublesided], then header and footer of page is drop out - no pagenumger, no hairlines etc! Where is a problem? Thanx Jaroslav
