What is the best way to define the equivalent of \setvalue{\e!start\NAME}{...} in lua. e_start = ?? context.setvalue(e_start .. name, "...") Thanks, Aditya

>> The following example does not work, while the font (Symbola) is found. > Works here. Can you try it with a clean installation! Works, indeed! Thanks a lot, as always! ) Is \fontchar a hack or 'official' command? If the latter, it deserves to be wikified. -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

\setupinterlinespace questions
by Florian Wobbe 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi, a) this minimal example does not work as expected. The first column is not justified correctly on top. This does not change, even when swapping small, big, medium (e.g. make 1st col medium and 2nd small). The offset stays the same regardless of the linespacing. \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] \setupinterlinespace[small] \input knuth \column \setupinterlinespace[medium] \input knuth \column \setupinterlinespace[big] \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext b) Is there a possibility to use relative sizes like \setupinterlinespace[2*big] (which does not work)? Best, Florian

ConTeXt does not execute MetaPost here
by Jonas Stein 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi, MetaPost embedded in ConTeXt does not work here, but plain MetaPost works fine: This [1] test works fine if i call mpost test.1 I can see a circle. But this [2] fails. Does ConTeXt expect MetaPost to have the executable named "mp"? On my debian system its called "mpost" [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaPost#Troubleshooting_plain_MetaPost [2] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaPost#Troubleshooting_MetaPost_embedded_in… Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

\footnote in \placefigure
by Hannes Riebl 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Dear ConTeXt users, I am using the following piece of code: \placefigure[right]{Zerfall von Pangäa\footnote{\hyphenatedurl{http://www.geologie.uni-frankfurt.de/staff/Homepages/Oschmann/Oschmann/Homepage/P21-Homepage/P21-9-Evolution.html}, zugegriffen am 3. Januar 2010}}{\externalfigure[Zerfall_von_Pangäa][width=70mm]} It works for some figures but for others it doesn't. In the second case neither the footnote nor the number in the subtitle of the picture is shown. Could anyone explain me why this happens and how to fix it? Thanks in advance. Regards, Hannes
