Wrong location of mframed
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi, In MkIV, \mframed does not place the result in the middle of the math axis. Consider, \starttext \startformula f(x) = \mframed{\frac{1}{2}}^{\mframed{\frac{1}{2}}} \stopformula \stoptext The MkII and MkIV results are attached. Aditya

Request for delimited texts
by Andreas Harder 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi all, is it possible to extend the delimited texts implementation in such a way that the environment would accept optional arguments. What I have in mind is something like this: \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [% author=Default Author, right=”\wordright{\delimitedtextparameter{author}}] \starttext \showframe \startquotation% [author=Some Author] \dorecurse{50}{text } \stopquotation \startquotation% [author=Another Author] \dorecurse{50}{text } \stopquotation \stoptext Greeting Andreas

Problem with ownnumber
by Achim Jander 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi all, I want to have my headings numbered via ownnumber, and they sometimes should include a dot. Everything works fine except when the ownnumber is numeric. In that case the dot is omitted, can anyone show my my fault? \definehead [chapter] [section=section-2, sectionsegments=2:100] \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes, headaling=flushleft,distance=0.5em] \definehead [section] [section=section-3, sectionsegments=3:100] \setuphead[section][ownnumber=yes, headaling=flushleft,distance=0.5em] \starttext \startchapter[ownnumber=I., title={chapterhead}] % the dot is kept text\par \startsection[ownnumber=1., title={sectionhead}] % no dot at all text\par \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext Thanks, Achim

Endnote-problem
by Robert Blackstone 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Dear list, While preparing a contribution for a conference proceedings I encountered a weird problem that I don't know how to tackle: First, the editor wants endnotes, no footnotes. So I collected all "footnotes" in a separate section at the end (\subject{Notes} \placefootnotes). That works in principle. The paper contains several longish quotations in both the original language and in English translation. The editor wants the original text in the endnotes. So I put them there, in blockquotes. Works too, in principle. However, this results in more than one page of notes. But here ConTeXt, neither mkii nor mkiv, does not insert a page break. Instead it tries to place everything on one page, ignoring the layoout below the header. The result is that only half of the notes turn up in the pdf. The rest is cut off. After the truncated list of notes there follows an empty page. What can I do about it? Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Robert Blackstone

mkii broken in latest beta?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi all, am I the only one having this problem? On OS X, the latest beta ver: 2011.01.18 19:34 MKII fmt: 2011.1.21 breaks with any and every input, even a simple \starttext hello world \stoptext, with this error: systems : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead ) ) (\end occurred inside a group at level 1) ### simple group (level 1) entered at line 3 ({) ### bottom level Output written on test.dvi (1 page, 396 bytes). Transcript written on test.log. I even installed a new minimal tree into an empty directory, still the same problem. Anyone else seeing this? All best Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] \qedhere equivalent in ConTeXt
by Stefan Müller 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi list, I tried something similar to (Mk IV version 2011.11.18 19:34): Am 06.08.10 15:46, schrieb Wolfgang Schuster: > \setupdescriptions > [proof] > [width=broad, > distance=0.5em, > location=serried, > headstyle=it, > indentnext=yes, > indenting=yes, > closesymbol=\mathematics{\square}, > closecommand=\ifmmode\eqno\else\wordright\fi] > > Wolfgang I hope I can get help on an issue I have with this. Please consider the minimal example: \starttext \definedescription[proof][text=Proof., width=fit, location=serried, indenting=yes, closesymbol=\mathematics{\square}, closecommand=\ifmmode\eqno\else\wordright\fi] \startproof \input knuth \stopproof \startproof conclusion conclusion conclusion conclusion conclusion conclusion conclusion. \stopproof \stoptext I don't know how to achieve this, but I would like to have the squares at the end of both "proofs" one line higher than they are now and placed right, as in (consider the extra space, which avoids the hyphenation): \startproof conclusion conclusion conclusion conclusion conclusion conclusion conclu sion. \stopproof Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance, Stefan

style=\setff{…} deprecated?
by Andreas Harder 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi all, I have some setups like: \setupfootnotes[textstyle=\plf] or \setupitemize[style=\plf] where \plf is defined as: \definefontfeature[plf][default] [pnum=yes,lnum=yes] \def\plf{\groupedcommand{\setfontfeature{plf}}{}} With the newest beta this setup fails. For footnotes one can use textcommand=\plf\high, but there is no symcommand for item groups. Asides from the old style=\setff{…} behaviour was very convenient, is there a work around? Here is an example. \definefontfeature[default] [default] [mode=node,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[plf] [default] [pnum=yes,lnum=yes] \definefontfeature[tlf] [default] [tnum=yes,lnum=yes] \def\plf{\groupedcommand{\setfontfeature{plf}}{}} \def\tlf{\groupedcommand{\setfontfeature{tlf}}{}} \setupbodyfont[palatino] \setupitemgroup [itemize] [command=\tlf, % sets the whole environment (besides the first item number) % style=\setff{tlf}, % used to work (style=\tlf didn't) ] \starttext \startitemize[n,columns][stopper=\vl,n=3] \dorecurse{114}{\item test 0123} \stopitemize \stoptext Greeting Andreas

escape in verbatim text eats line breaks
by Stefan Müller 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi list, there seems to be something wrong with the "escape" mechanism in verbatim. Line breaks before escaped code are ignored. Consider the following example from the wiki [1] (e.g. the second line is printed right behind the first with no line break): \starttext \setuptyping[TEX][escape=yes] \startTEX /BTEX\em sometex/ETEX /BTEX\em sometex/ETEX \after \before /BTEX\em sometex/ETEX \before /BTEX\em sometex/ETEX \after \before /BTEX\em sometex/ETEX \inbetween /BTEX\em sometex/ETEX \after \before \after \stopTEX \setuptyping[TEX][escape={[[,]]}] \startTEX [[\em sometex]] [[\em sometex]] \after \before [[\em sometex]] \before [[\em sometex]] \after \before [[\em sometex]] \inbetween [[\em sometex]] \after \before \after \stopTEX \setuptyping[TEX][escape=//] \startTEX //\em sometex \before //\em sometex \stopTEX \stoptext Is this a bug or am I missing something here? Also "\setuptyping[TEX][escape=//]" seems to have no effect at all, "//" is printed just like normal chars. Best regards, Stefan Müller.

Re: [NTG-context] \getscaledglyph
by Willi Egger 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi Thomas, I had to do some work with regard to this issue recently. What was mentioned on this list, is, that \fontchar is a command which will stay. \setupbodyfont[Myfont,rm,12pt] \definesymbol[Q.alt] [\fontchar{Q.alt}] \def\Qa{\symbol[Q.alt]} The easiest way to get a stable environment is to use the char-names from the font. You can extract a table with all char-names with \usemodule[fnt-10] \setupbodyfont[Myfont,rm,12pt] \starttext \ShowCompleteFont{Myfont.otf}{10pt}{1} % fontname, size,columns % \ShowAllGlyphs {Myfont}{48pt}{4} % fontname, size,columns \stoptext Kind regards Willi On 20 Jan 2011, at 08:51, Thomas Floeren wrote: > Hi, > > I did a rather huge update step from my working context 2010.09.29 to the actual beta.
