Widgets color option not working with Mark IV
by Reviczky, Adam 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

>>it was not yet implemented (passing the info was, but not adding it to >>the pdf stream) >> >>i uploaded a new beta Thanks, color and fontsize works perfectly now! Could you also have a look at whats going on with the alignment to the first field? And since we're at it, I can't get the field+javascript working with mkiv, is that suppose to work? All I want to do is the accented glyphs in a text field, aka: \setupfield [TextSetup][...][...][...] [...., regionin=JS(Initialize_TeX_Key), afterkey=JS(Convert_TeX_Key), validate=JS(Convert_TeX_String)] Works with mkii, but has no effect with mkiv. Thanks again, Adam

Hello, luatex takes 100% cpu (probably endless loop, at least some minutes ;) here: \starttext \halign {\hss#\cr \showcolorgroup[red] [horizontal,name,number]\cr \showcolorgroup[green] [horizontal,name]\cr } \stoptext Message: systems : command \showcolorgroup not found in file colo-run -- Peter

piping output from external command
by pmlists＠free.fr 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hello, This used to work with pdftex: \starttext \input "\string|echo hello world" \stoptext What's the recommended way, to do this in mkiv? I've defined \Pipe{} like this: \startluacode userdata = userdata or {} function userdata.pipe(c) local h = io.popen(c) context(h:read"*a") h:close() end \stopluacode \def\Pipe#1{\ctxlua{userdata.pipe"#1"}} But I suppose that there is already a nice command in the core... ;) -- Peter

\typesetbuffer adds \starttext ... \stoptext
by pmlists＠free.fr 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hello, It would be nice, if \typesetbuffer wouldn't add anything to the buffer. Here an example, where the outer \starttext ... \stoptext environment deranges: \starttext \startbuffer[pdf-pages] \setuppapersize[A7, landscape] \showframe \starttext page 1 \page page 2 \stoptext \stopbuffer \typesetbuffer[pdf-pages][page=2, frame=on, width=10cm] \stoptext -- Peter

Re: [NTG-context] large right brace grouping lines of equations
by Jeong Dalyoung 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Dear Aditya, Thank you for suggestion. Here is my situation. ----- equation1 --------------------- ---- equation 2 --------------------- -----equation 3 ---- ] -----equation 4 ---- ] big rbrace for 3,4,5 and some text here -----equation 5 ---- ] -----equation 6 -------------------- According to your suggestion, we can use \startmatrix for 3,4,5, but how to put text? I googled and found a similar question in LaTeX, but the answer is to use tikz. How do you think? Thank you again. Best regards. Dalyoung

wrong page with \finishregisterentry
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi, when \finishregisterentry is set within a paragraph then the "lastrealpage" gets the value from the page where this respective parapgraph starts. (In the example below it is 4 instead of 5.) That is quite sad when you have long paragraphs. How can I set a register range telling me lastrealpage is exactly the page where the ending mark is set? Attached you may find a minimal example. Best, Steffen ------- \starttext \switchtobodyfont[50pt] \input tufte \par \setregisterentry[index][label={Index_Label}]% Test\dorecurse{5}{This is are words, not paragraphs. }\finishregisterentry[index][label={Index_Label},entries={Index entry}] Test \stoptext

by Vnpenguin 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi, I'm trying TeX-figures (Section 13.5 of ConTeX manual). Here is my test ============== \starttext \startbuffer[mytable] \bTABLE \bTR \bTH One \eTH \bTH Two \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD One \eTD \bTD Two \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \externalfigure[mytable.tmp][width=0.8\textwidth] \stoptext ============== But the PDF has no the table. I'm wrong somewhere ? I'm using (WinXP) : E:\User\tex> context --version MTXrun | main context file: C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv MTXrun | current version: 2011.01.25 13:17 Thanks,

Header problem
by Keith McKay 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Dear All I have a problem with a chapter title which I am using as a header. The title's length in the header is such that it extends into the page margin. I would have thought that the text would have stayed within the header area and gone on to a second line but this does not happen. I have been on the wiki looking at the command reference syntax for \setupheader and \setuphead and \setupheadertexts to try and solve this problem but I'm a bit stuck understanding the syntax. Reducing the amount of text in the chapter name isn't an option. Any other suggestions Keith McKay

strange interaction with footnote and section
by Florian Wobbe 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi, I have a strange problem with footnotes, when interaction is turned on. When a footnote is followed by a \section{}, the color of the first footnote number will change from contrastcolor to color. Also the number is not a clickable link anymore. Of cause the footnote is not on a different page. The more \section{}s you have, the more footnote interaction links will vanish: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext 1st\footnote{first}, 2nd\footnote{second}, 3rd\footnote{third}, 4th\footnote{fourth}, 5th\footnote{fifth}. % uncomment these one at a time: %\section{First} %\section{Second} %\section{Third} \stoptext
