export
by Hans Hagen 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi, For those who were not at the ctx conference (where it was demonstrated) .. there is a new feature. When you say: \setupbackeds[export=yes] You will also get a file called <jobname>.export which represents the document in xml format. You can postprocess such an export to for instance html. It's still somewhat experimental but also fun.

Wikifying: footnotes in margin - two questions
by Elias Oltmanns 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi all, when Hans introduced the criterium option to \setupnote in recent betas of MkIV, he asked me to wikify the problem of typesetting footnotes in the margin in order to demonstrate the usage of that option. There are, however, two questions I'd like to settle first. For one thing, the new algorithm is still error prone as I can provide examples where it fails. What is the preferred way to point out such a problem (in the wiki or whereever), so it will be delt with eventually? Secondly, can someone please explain to me why the example below produces so strikingly different results when processed with MkII or MkIV? In particular, I'd like to know why the footnote numbers are placed differently and, unless this is due to a bug, how to mimic the MkII behaviour in MkIV. Thanks in advance, Elias \setuplayout[backspace=6cm,width=middle,rightmarginwidth=4cm, rightmargindistance=5mm] \doifelse{MKIV}{\contextmark}{ \setupnote[footnote][location=text,criterium=page, before=,rule=off]}{ \setupnote[footnote][factor=0,before=,rule=off, width=\rightmarginwidth]} \setuptexttexts[margin][][ \vbox to \textheight {\vfill\placenotes[footnote]}] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{12}{A little more test\footnote{Note the alignment of consecutive lines.} text in order to achieve a certain filling of the page. } \stoptext

A rose by any other name ....

Hi, Is it possible to change the name of the font as it appears in the pdf file? More specifically, I am using Termes font, but I want that the document properties to show the name of the font as Times. Is that possible? Is doing so a violation of the font license? Aditya

Lua:mplib
by Procházka Lukáš 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hello, I'm looking for some stuff about calling MP from ConTeXt Lua. The only thing I found is a short reference at http://www.luatex.org/svn/trunk/manual/luatexref-t.pdf, but even when I read some basics (pages 79-83), I don't even know how to draw a line between two points. So I'd like to find a tutorial or examples or a deeper reference about how to call MP via Lua from ConTeXt. - Any idea? Cheers, Lukas

Context to MP
by Procházka Lukáš 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hello, I'd like to ask - - where could I find a list of variables which (Con)TeX(t) defines to MetaPost scope? When I browsed the Hans' presentations, I encountered "PaperWidth", "PaperHeight", "Page" etc. (see e.g. "s-pre-22.tex"). I didn't find them mentioned/explained in any manual (especially: in "mpman.pdf", tab. 5 on pg. 71, there is a list of MP internal variables). So where I could find them with a short description?
