Bib Module: \cite can kill spaces
by Andreas Schneider 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Hi, I don't know how exactly it happens, but in the attached example the last footnote is missing a space before the inserted \cite. In my real document that happens a lot and kills the layout. Anything I can do to fix that? Best Regards, Andreas.

simplefonts or Typecripts
by Gour D. 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Hello! I'd like to (finally) dive into ConTeXt (MkIV) using it for everything and stop using LyX/LaTeX...ConText is installed via context-minimals-git package on Archlinux (thank you Aditya). The 'Using fonts' section on wiki says: Handling fonts in LuaTeX can be done * in a simple but limited way, using the simplefonts module; * in the standard way, using TypeScripts and I've tried example with Delicious font (too bad there is no Croatian characters available) and it works. Considering I never learnt TypeScripts mechanism (and managed to forget most of ConteXr I knew when fiddling with it some years ago), I wonder if 'simplefonts' is THE way to go with fonts in MkIV and/or is there something one may miss by not using TypeScripts mechanism? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG: CDBF17CA --

Footnote numbers not following \setupinteraction color
by John Haltiwanger 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

I seem to be full of problems today: ----------------------- \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start, color=black] \setupcolor[hex] \definecolor[titleRed][h=910A00] \starttext This \footnote{should not have a red color, correct?} \stoptext ----------------------- The footnote number in the page footer inherits color titleRed, though the footnote "notice" in the text is properly black. Also, this doesn't seem to affect links in my ToC (they aren't titleRed).

checking for module parameters
by Philipp Gesang 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hi, is there a way to check whether an option was specified through \usemodule? Couldn't find anything like that in core-fil.mkiv. I'd imagined some branching as with the system macros: ······ Wishful thinking ······················································· \doifmoduleparameter{modulename}{key} % in the module code {\somecommand[\moduleparameter{modulename}{key}]} \usemodule % user code [modulename] [key=val] ····· /Wishful thinking ······················································· Thanks for any suggestions, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

lettrine and setupalign cause Overfull \hbox errors
by Martin Althoff 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

There appears to be some kind of clash between the lettrine module and setting up \setupalign[right] when used together: on a 200 page text every line has Overfull \hbox errors. As a (stupid?) side question: why is text, that aligns on the left edge of an odd-numbered page called "right" aligned? Thanks, Martin Demo: \usemodule[lettrine] \setupalign[right] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\lettrine {T}{here} {\input tufte\par}} \stoptext

by Hongwen Qiu 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, The following minimal example has no effect on page numbering(MkIV): \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] % \setuppagenumbering[numberconversion=romannumerals] has no effect too. \starttext \chapter{Alpha} \input tufte \stoptext $ context --version MTXrun | current version: 2010.08.10 17:14 $ luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.61.0-2010072816

Numbering in Table of Content
by Riobard 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, Is it possible to create a Table of Content like the one shown in the attached image? Basically I need a few unnumbered entries at the top of the table (like abstract, acknowledgements, etc) with romannumeral-numbered page number, followed by numbered chapters with digits-numbered page number as normal. Thanks! Rio

ConTeXt meeting programme
by Taco Hoekwater 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi all, Jano has put up the preliminary programme for our meeting: http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/programme.shtml For those of you that are still in doubt or simply waiting with registration: As Jano wrote last week, the registration is still open and will remain open until we reach the available capacity. But it is possible that the maximum capacity actually *will* be reached, so it is not wise to delay your decision until the very last moment. Hope to see you in Brejlov, Taco

\startnarrower as \abstract in LaTeX and bottom "layer" as footnote without markers
by Xan 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi, I try to duplicate this [http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.1458] article to ConTeXt. The original article was written in LaTeX. I have to troubles in this "duplication": - abstract: I "emulate" LaTeX abstract environment with \startnarrower ... \stopnarrower, as this [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Article_Abstracts] wiki page suggests. But I see that the space between lines is much bigger in ConTeXt than LaTeX and that if we put $n^2$ for example in abstract, ConTeXt displays too big, as a normal text, instead of LaTeX where all is \small sized. - for the other hand, I want to put a "layer" as a footnote without markers. In the original article it begins with "Date: ...". How can I achieve that? - Finally, I want to put my name and title alternatively in the headertexts, in odd and even pages. How can I do that? Anyone could help me? Thanks a lot, Xan. PS: Please CC-me.
