beta

Hi, I uploaded a beta with some bugfixes and new features = bookmarks: force forces subject into the bookmarks: \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection,subject][all][force=yes] dedicated optional configuration: \setupbookmarks[numberstarter=<,numberstopper=>] control over numbers: \setupbookmarks[number=no] % for any following \placebookmarks...[number=no] % for given entries you can give multiple \placebookmarks commands as they accumulate = sectioning \placelist[chapter][criterium=text,interaction=all] with \setuphead[chapter][interaction=list] you also get backlinks = pdf/x Peter and I sorted out some issues and believe that we now have a reasonable interface. Examples are in pdf-x*.mkiv in the distribution. \setupbackend [format=valid pdf/x name, profile=name.icc, intent=name.icc, level=compresslevel, % default 3 file=optional specification file, option=always|never] (I'll make a --directives=backend.showformats one of these days.) Peter will probably have some more explanation later (what formats, tracing, when to use what, etc). We hope to wrap it up in an article some day.

building the luatex font database

Hi Hans, Hi all, my fresh ConTeXt minimal installation (winxp) doesn`t recognize the fonts in the context tree. I can only use the windows systemfonts. mtxrun --script fonts --reload says: ... MTXrun | fontnames: warnings are disabled (tracker 'fonts.warnings') MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix otf MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf for otf files MTXrun | fontnames: 3313 entries found, 297 otf files checked, 297 okay MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf-local for otf files MTXrun | fontnames: 1372 entries found, 546 otf files checked, 546 okay MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf-context for otf files MTXrun | fontnames: 1770 entries found, 1 otf files checked, 1 okay MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf-mswin for otf files MTXrun | fontnames: 108 entries found, 0 otf files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix OTF MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf for OTF files MTXrun | fontnames: 3313 entries found, 0 OTF files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf-local for OTF files MTXrun | fontnames: 1372 entries found, 0 OTF files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf-context for OTF files MTXrun | fontnames: 1770 entries found, 0 OTF files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: scanning tree:///c:/contextminimal/texmf-mswin for OTF files MTXrun | fontnames: 108 entries found, 0 OTF files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: 844 tree files identified, 844 skipped, 0 duplicates, 0 hash entries added, runtime 0.172 seconds ...

Dear Hans, Yes, your output is working fine. But mine is not. It means that my minimal produce a different output from yours. Did you see log file? Is there nothing special? I'll reinstall minimal and try again. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Placing footnotes in right margin en bloc at bottom of page
by Elias Oltmanns 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hi there, not being a ConTeXt user myself, I have been advised on the tex-d-l list of the German TUG that a certain problem could possibly be solved more easily in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. So, here is what I'm trying to achieve: The numerous but short footnotes of a document shall be placed in the right margin rather than below the main text area. Additionally, though, the footnotes should not be placed near the call up (similar to what \marginpar does), but type set en bloc at the bottom of the page. In other words, the main text area should have fixed margins all round across all pages and the footnotes should be printed in a small rectangular block beside the main text area such that the height of this block varies according to the number of footnotes on the page, but the block is always flushed to the bottom of the page. You'll find an ascii art illustration below. Is such a layout feasible in ConTeXt without too much hassle at all? Regards, Elias ================================ = | = = | = = | = = M A I N | = = | = = T E X T | = = | = = A R E A | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = |-----= = |foot-= = |notes= ================================

Dear Hans, Thank you for your reply. I have tested using "JS(Set_Field{FFD2,1})" before, but it didn't work. I have tried once more. But it is same before.(After click "restart", I have a blank window and nothing happens when I click "here" again.) If it works in your machine, that is the problem of my macbook. I am using Macbook and OSX 10.6. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Aligning titles so that they begin in the margin rather at text edge
by John Haltiwanger 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hey all, a very simple problem, really, but one I'm having trouble finding examples for. I would like to set up my titles to begin in the margin, rather than at the text edge, similar to what is found in Bringhurst's _Elements of Typographic Style_. I'm pretty certain the solution is incredibly easy, just not so obvious for newbies like me. I will immediately post the solution to the Titles wiki page. Adv-THANKS-ance, John

2 sets of footnotes?
by Martin Althoff 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hi all, I'm trying to do a (re-)layout for an older book which holds a few challenges for me. Hopefully I can find some help here. In this book I need to track 2 kinds of footnotes, sidenotes and the original page numbering (I don't replicate the old text flow but put comments where pages originally change). My footnotes follow the current layout/flow, not the original layout. My prime issue are having 2 sets of footnotes. One set of numbering (numbered 1,2,3...) is reset every section, which I figured out(\setupfootnotes [way=section]). A second set results out of comments the original Author placed into the margins. They are counted a, b, c... and are reset every page. Both are placed at the bottom of the relevant page. A set of sidenotes in the form "R nnn" is used from 1 to the end of the book to indicate the pages and positions where these sidenotes where placed. Currently I am not linking the second set of footnotes i.e. the author notes and the sidenote counter. Though it might be a nice luxury to generate a list of all author notes. I looked at lists and I suppose footnotes use the list mechanism in the background. But I don't get anywhere with that. Trying to keep track of the author notes, the placing with \placelist[AuthorComment] doesn't seem to work in the example below. Besides, I don't see how they would appear or be placed as footnotes. In short: How do I get 2 sets of footnotes: one per section, one per page? Extensive (sorry) example below.

Dear Hans, Thank you for a nice solution. It is really cool! I always wonder what is the limit of ConTeXt. But I think that I am using very small portion of it. Here I'd like to ask one more thing. I downloaded the example of "Euro symbol" animation. Both button "here" and "restart" worked fine. However, a new pdf file of Euro symbol animation which was madden by recompiling the source not properly working in my macbook. "here" button works fine while "restart" lost the position.(just blank window is appeared) I tried a similar step by step drawing and got the same situation. Is it a problem in my machine only? Mac OSX 10.6.4 ConTeXt ver: 2010.06.23 12:45 MKIV fmt: 2010.7.18 int: english/english - this is luatex, version beta-0.60.2-2010070117 Thank you for your help. Best regards, Dalyoung
