Line Numbering (blank lines)
by David Abdurachmanov 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi, How make ConTeXt to number blank lines? Blank lines by default are skipped. Especially when giving programming examples (source code) in ConTeXt documents, I would prefer blank lines still have number. david _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969

Strange nieuw directory after updating with first-setup.sh
by Willi Egger 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi, I just updated the minimals and I see a strange directory: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.1-2010042810 Current version: 2010.06.10 15:24 .../lua60.1 is the texroot. ../lua60.1/tex/lua60.1 ^^^^^^^ This subdirectory contains: ../lua60.1/tex/lua60.1/web2c ../lua60.1/tex/lua60.1/web2c/luatex ../lua60.1/tex/lua60.1/web2c/luatex/pdftex ../lua60.1/tex/lua60.1/web2c/luatex/xetex ../lua60.1/tex/lua60.1/web2c/luatex/metafun.mem This does not sound quite healthy? Further I am struggling with the fact, that Context does not find private fonts when they are in texmf-fonts/data/vendor/font. Only if I place them into texmf-local/fonts/afm/vendor/font, texmf-local/fonts/opentype/vendor/font etc they show up in the pdf. The strange thing is, that if the fonts are in texmf-fonts/data/vendor/font they are cached correctly and "mtxrun --locate Seravek-Regular.otf" reports the correct path to the font. Puzzled. Willi

reference, ref, label, id, etc.
by Peter Münster 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello, We have now \startsection[reference=...] and \reference[]{} and perhaps other such commands. Wouldn't it be better to call this "label" or "identifier" or "id" or similar instead of "reference" ? Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

marginrules vs. papersize
by Martin K. Petersen 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

I'm having a problem with marginrules. If the papersize is a4 they work just fine. When I switch to letter paper, however, the rules no longer line up with the paragraph. (This is TeX Live 2007 kit in Fedora, fwiw) Martin \setuppapersize[letter] \setupoutput[pdftex] \starttext \startmarginrule The sound of a duck is a good demonstration of how different people listen to a sound. Everywhere in Europe the sound is equal. But in every country it is described differently: kwaak||kwaak (Netherlands), couin||couin (French), gick||gack (German), rap||rap (Danish) and mech||mech (Spanish). If you speak these words aloud you will notice that in spite of the consonants the sound is really very well described. And what about a cow, does it say boe, mboe or mmmmmm? \stopmarginrule \stoptext

Irregularity in a topspace a bottomspace?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi all. I was surprised that when I set up (in the MKII and MKIV too) topspace parameter to a nonzero value and the value of the bottomspace parameter to zero value, then the size of bottomspace is the same as topspace size. On the other side, if I set topspace to zero value and the bottomspace to nonzero value, ConTeXt behaves as I expected. Is this a normal behavior ConTeXt? Ie. when bottomspace is zero, then the paper has only the tops and not bottoms? Thanx Jaroslav My minimal example (watch showlayout): 1. topspace is nonzero, bottomspace is zero value: \setuplayout[ backspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, width=fit, rightmargin=0cm, cutspace=0cm, topspace=2cm, headerdistance=0cm, header=0cm, height=fit, footerdistance=0cm, footer=0cm, bottomspace=0cm ] \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext 2. topspace is nonzero, bottomspace is nonzero value too: \setuplayout[ backspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, width=fit, rightmargin=0cm, cutspace=0cm, topspace=2cm, headerdistance=0cm, header=0cm, height=fit, footerdistance=0cm, footer=0cm, bottomspace=1cm ] \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext 3. topspace is zero, bottomspace is nonzero value: \setuplayout[ backspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, width=fit, rightmargin=0cm, cutspace=0cm, topspace=0cm, headerdistance=0cm, header=0cm, height=fit, footerdistance=0cm, footer=0cm, bottomspace=1cm ] \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext

problem with 'kpse.find_file'
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

'kpse.find_file' now can not work in MkIV (beta 2010.06.10 15:24). The attachment is a minimal example for this. When I compile it, I got the following error: LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:2: attempt to call field 'find_file' (a nil value) stack traceback: <main ctx instance>:2: in main chunk. }inserted text> ...(kpse.find_file ("a", "lua")) \dodostartluacode ...d \directlua \zerocount {#1}} l.4 \stopluacode ? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

problems with context beta and mtxrun
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hi list, as read before there are some problems with mtxrun, now I got myself one too. After an Update of this afternoon context wouldn't compile anymore. The run of context --make delivers the following: $ context --make MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | fileio: skipping configuration file '/opt/context-minimals/tex/ texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'texmfscripts' MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'texmfscripts' MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'texmfscripts' MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | MTXrun | runtime: 0.097 seconds but I now both files exist inside of the context path...

MKIV and bib module
by Honza Pohanka 10 Jun '10

Hallo, I have discovered a problem with bib module in MKIV. Using \completepublications command typesets only the heading and no bib items. Numbers in citations are missing too. \placepublications and MKII works fine. example \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[cz] \input pdfr-def.mkii % glyph to unicode \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={stereo}] \setuppublications[alternative=num,autohang=yes] \setuppublicationlist[before=\blank] \setupexternalfigures[directory=./img] \starttext bla \cite[moltonetal1998] bla \cite[andersonetal2007] \setuppublications[alternative=ams] \completepublications \stoptext -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

ConTeXt expression evaluation in Lua
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

I apologize for maybe a trivial question, but I found it nowhere. It is possible in Lua to find value of counter (or dimension) that has been set in ConTeXt? Eg. \newcounter\mycount \newdimension\mydimen \mycount=5 \mydimen=12pt % It will be the parameterS of Lua function \startluacode LuaFunction("Filename.csv", VALUEOFCOUNTER("\\the\\mycount"), VALUEOFDIMENSION("\\the\\mydimen")) \stopluacode Thanx Jaroslav
