\definelayout
by Andreas Harder 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hi all, would someone please enlighten me. What is the correct usage of \definelayout? \definelayout[default][width=middle,height=middle,header=0pt,footer=0pt] % \setuplayout[default] % needed? \definelayout[first] [default][header=2cm] \definelayout[unknown][default]%[reset] % \definelayout[2] [default]%[reset] \definelayout[last] [default][footer=2cm] \starttext \showframe % \checkcurrentlayout %% Variant A: fails with \default[unknown] first\page unknown=(2)\page \page unknown=(3)\page last %% Variant B: fails with \definelayout[2] % first\page unknown=(2)=last \stoptext By the way the output differs with the latest beta in comparison with the latest experimental. Regards Andreas

Header/footer fonts problem in 20 DEC 2011 beta
by Peter Park Nelson 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hello, I just installed the 20 Dec beta and noticed the following (compared to 29 Nov beta): 1. Headers and footers on ODD PAGES ONLY do not respect text styles set via \setupheader[style=\ss] and \setupfooter[style=\cg]. Text in both cases is in serif type. Headers and footers on EVEN pages have correct fonts. However, setting the font variant and size directly in \setupfootertexts[\cg\bf Footer Text] works for odd pages. On the plus side: 2. \restoreinterlinespace is no longer needed with section headers in a grid layout. (See: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20050620.212538.c081f1e4.en.html) Thank you for fixing that. 3. columnsets no longer run into the page footer area when using \setupheader[state=high]. Thanks, Hans! Thanks, PPN -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

Moderator, the last message I received from the list was on 24 October. I've attempted to re-subscribe but am told I'm still subscribed. Back then there was a fault at this end which caused mail to be rejected.

2UP broken or changed?

OK, back to work and I could dig deeper into the problem. It turns out that inserting and filtering pages from a pdf file works fine and most of imposition works out, too, and I even managed to create some fancy folding booklets with 1*8 (thanks, Willi, for the lecture you gave at CM4 on this stuff!), but my 2UP refuses to work. This works: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] %individual page A5 size, print size A4 \setuparranging[2SIDE] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \starttext \filterpages [maoutput.pdf][1,3,5:22][width=0pt] \stoptext This works, too: \setuppapersize[A5][A3] \setuparranging[2DOWN] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, marking=on] \starttext \insertpages [maoutput.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext However, if I switch to 2UP on either (2SIDE or 2DOWN), I get ten pages of nothing. Or rather, on the latter I get 10 pages of cut marks as marking is on. I'm running the newest beta, from December 23. The problem is not critical (at least not yet), although if I get the A5 -> A4 booklet to work on ConTeXt, it'll speed up a few processes (and shorten our printing queues...). Thanks, Mari

MetaFUN's \setupMPpage broken?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hi ConTeXt user's, A few weeks ago I upgraded to the 11-11-29 version (MkIV) and today installed the 11-12-23 version (MkIV). The \setupMPpage command in the basic example below: \setupMPpage[offset=1pt] \startuseMPgraphic{test} fill fullsquare rotated 45 ; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \startMPpage \includeMPgraphic{test} \stopMPpage \stoptext yields the following error in both versions mentioned above: ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 1 in file test.tex: Undefined control sequence ... All this worked just fine in the version of last August! Regards, Gerard Verhaag

Offsetting the Item Symbol
by Emmanuel Asante 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Hi All, I would like to offset itemized lists including the item symbol itself and I cannot figure out how to achieve that. I have looked at the setupitemize options but I did not find any option that does what I want. Any help in doing this will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Emmanuel

FLOWchart module broken
by Willi Egger 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Hi, The FLOW-chart module is broken at least since the version 22-12-2011 and still is in the version of 23-12-2011. Please refer to the attached chart. The MKIV run stops with the following error: <argument> \doframed [flowcell:\getvariable {flowcell:text}{align}]{\getvari... \firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1 \@@su:flowcell:text:place:indeed ...:text}{text}}} \endgroup \@@su:flowcell:text:place ...ll:text:place:indeed} \fi \fi \endgroup \next1 #1,->\dosetups {#1} \do_process_comma_item \do_process_comma_list ...m \gobbleoneargument #1, ]\relax \global \advance \... ... l.91 When running MKII on the attached file then I get a flow chart, where the cells are placed correctly. However the comments attached to the decision-cells are misplaced and the two \comment[tr]{Nein} and \comment[rt]{Bed.} are typeset on top of each other (see pdf). Kind regards Willi

Moving the [offset=*] down to \startMPpage and eliminating the \setup MPpage worked here. (I also scaled it up so I could see it on my viewer.) \startuseMPgraphic{test} fill fullsquare rotated 45 scaled 20; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \startMPpage[offset=5pt] \includeMPgraphic{test} \stopMPpage \stoptext This may be a feature. --JohnK

Hi, there are still questions how to use the context.setupheadertexts. - why is on even pages the header not set when using the example below? - how to make odd and even pages carrying a different header text? \setuplabeltext[en][A=Happy New Year] \startluacode function myheadertext(s) context.setupheadertexts{ function() context.labeltext(s) context(": ") end} end \stopluacode \starttext \ctxlua{myheadertext("A")} \input knuth \page \input ward \stoptext Thanks for enlighten me!

context MathML2PDF

I'm forwarding this to the ConTeXt mailing list. (I'm not the author of ConTeXt.) But please include a complete minimal example (that is: you should usually include the whole ConTeXt code and/or how you compile the example, not just the MathML).
