I completely misunderstood, thinking that for text one could substitute something to typeset (like in \in{}[]) instead of regarding it as a keyword hole. > > For the interaction problem I have made a very tiny project. At the start of the contents is an "outer reference" inside the project files an "inner reference". The outer one can be reached both from the outside as well as from the inside of the project files. The colouring of the links show it too. Yhe inner reference does not show up, instead the log shows: > > references > start problematic references > unknown > 2: [part2][label:1] > references > stop problematic references > > But I do not know enough of the referencing mechanism to interprete it. > Hope you can nail the problem, either with my doing or something within ConTeXt. It’s a bug (maybe wrong default settings) which was introduced with Idris request to have lists which are local to a component, when you refer to the label with the name of the component as prefix (\getreference[text][part1:label:1]) the text is shown.

Lua script not registered
by John Kitzmiller 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I hope this does not open another thread with the same name, but I did not find a way to respond directly within the archive--something else I am missing or will ntg find the reference? Here it goes... Thank you for response luigi. The story: OS = Windows7 professional I also have MikTeX installed which I use routinely for pdfLaTeX and METAPOST from TeXworks download context-setup-mswin.zip<http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip> from the wiki unzip to C:\context run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --modules=all add to PATH C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\ run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --keep Then create tex file \starttext Hello world \stopptext in different location. Navigate shell to that location and >context firstfile.tex Result is message context: The Lua script is not registered. context: Data: context Aha! I tried moving firstfile.tex into C:\context and then run and it works, but takes 11.62 seconds--not so good. However, I still get Lua script not registered when I try to run from other file locations, which makes me think it is PATH problem that I will continue to chase but if anything looks obvious please help. --johnk

Formatting footnote numbers (in text)
by Chris Lott 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I'm new to ConTeXt, but I have searched for this myself... I'm trying to format the footnote numbers that appear in the text of my documents. I've used this to change them from being blue (there may be a better way-- I am generating PDFs for print, so don't need the hyperlinks) using the following: \setupinteraction[state=start,color=black,contrastcolor=black] Is this where I would control other formatting (size, face, format)? Can anyone provide or point to an example of formatting footnote numbers in text area of a doc? c -- Chris Lott

no color with interaction and reference format
by Stefan Müller 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi list, when I am using reference formats to put text in front of my text references, I get no color. Please see the following minimal example \setupinteraction[state=start] \definereferenceformat[insec][text=section~] \starttext \section[mylabel]{A Section} A Reference to \in{section}[mylabel] and \insec[mylabel]. \stoptext On my machine only the first reference is red (aka colored), but I think both should be, as it was some betas ago. Is this a bug or has the interface changed? I'm using standalone 20111125 21:29 MkIV. Thanks in advance! Stefan

Lua script not registered
by John Kitzmiller 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hello. Trying to make my first doc with ConTeXt (Win7, standalone install) I get the error: context: The Lua script is not registered context: Data: context and I am taken back to the command prompt. Nothing is produced. Any ideas? What did I overlook? After `texing otherwise for years I am really looking forward to diving into ConTeXt. Thanks, John

Why does the oldstyle numerals switch, \os, also switch off m-dashes?
by Pavneet Arora 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I enclose a minimal example as well as the output. It would seem that the \os causes the m-dash to come out as three hyphens. Is this the expected behaviour? advTHANKSance. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora

In MetaPost: After putting something in a picture, one can draw its boundaries with "draw boundingbox thepicture". Is it possible to obtain at that point the dimensions of this boudingbox in order to do some calculations with them? Hans van der Meer

Escaping a special character in a MetaPost figure within a ConTeXt document fails
by Raymond LeClair 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I have escaped the '#' character in the usual way, using a backslash, as '\#' in a btex...etex picture as part of a MetaPost figure created within a ConTeXt document, but the escaped character still causes the ConTeXt processing to fail. Here is an example... \pdfminorversion=5 \definepapersize[LG1][width=4.25in,height=6.875in] \definepapersize[LP1][width=4.25in,height=6.875in] \setuppapersize[LG1][LP1] \definelayout[frontmatter] [topspace=0.222222222222in,header=0.555555555556in,height=6.43055555556in,footer=0.694444444444in, backspace=1.05555555556in,width=2.86111111111in,location=middle, leftmargindistance=0.222222222222in,rightmargindistance=0.222222222222in, leftmargin=0.833333333333in,rightmargin=0.111111111111in] \definefont[TitleFont][Serif sa 3.5] \definecolor[TransparentWhite][b=1,t=0,a=1] \def \FrontMatterTitle { \startreusableMPgraphic{frontmattertitle:\overlaywidth:\overlayheight} matter_paper_width := 4.25in; matter_paper_height := 6.875in; front_left_margin := 0.388888888889in; top_margin := 0.347222222222in; draw (0, 0)--(matter_paper_width, matter_paper_height) withpen pencircle scaled 1bp withcolor white; picture titleText; % == HERE IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM == titleText := btex {\vbox{\hsize 2.72916666667in \baselineskip 38.0pt \setupalign[flushleft,hyphenated,verytolerant] \TitleFont THE BEGINNINGS OF \#BOOM}} etex; labeloffset := 0bp; label.lrt(titleText, (front_left_margin, matter_paper_height - top_margin)); \stopreusableMPgraphic \reuseMPgraphic{frontmattertitle:\overlaywidth:\overlayheight} } \defineoverlay[frontmattertitle][\FrontMatterTitle] \starttext \setuplayout[frontmatter] {\TransparentWhite\title{...}} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={{frontmattertitle}},state=repeat] {\TransparentWhite\midaligned{...}} \stoptext
