Glyph fallbacks
by Aditya Mahajan 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hi, I thought that if a font does not have certain (accented) glyphs, then MkIV fakes a fallback. But that does not happen. Consider, for example, Delicious font, that does not have scedilla. Using that in a document fails silently. \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Delicious] \starttext sş \stoptext Is it possible to fake that character? The font is available here: http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/delicious.html Thanks, Aditya

Problems with (features of?) hangaround text
by Procházka Lukáš 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hello, I'd need to place a picture and let it be flowed by some text from the right side. My observation is that only one (= the first) paragraph flows the picture correctly (see the "\input tufte" only case); see the attached example. It there a way how to: - enable heads (e.g. \subject) in the hang-around area (see the "Ccc" text placement)? - enable more than one paragraph in the hang-around area (see the knuth being \input)? - enable "tabulate" (see "TTT ttt" and "UUU uuu" lines)? (The "C" "tabulate" style is defined in the way that the rightmost column should have fixed width of 2 in, whilst the leftmost column should have remaining width; "remaining" in this case should mean \textwidth minus width-of-the-picture (minus some gap).) I can imagine that \(start/stop)hangaround command is a bit limited and/or experimental in use; anyway - is there another way how to "earmark" some area for a picture and to use the "remaining" space for text flowing "as usual" with less restrictions? Best regards, Lukas

using · in math mode
by Paul Menzel 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, I am using the Neo keyboard layout [1], which enables me to directly enter several UTF-8 characters. The dot »·« is one of those characters [2] and I like to use it in math mode instead of `\cdot`. But in math mode it is some kind of bold lower dot (see attachment) and not ·. In works fine “text mode”. \starttext $a · b = a \cdot \text{ (\\cdot) } b = ab$ in text · \stoptext Is the wrong UTF-8 character used or can ConTeXt be adapted to use »·« as would like to? Thanks, Paul [1] http://www.neo-layout.org/ [2] http://wiki.neo-layout.org/browser/A-REFERENZ-A/neo20.txt#L225

delimitedtext, spacebefore and grid
by Oliver Heins 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hello, I want to have both a halfline space before and after blockquotations. Normally, this works fine; after the quotation the main text snaps back to the grid (see page 3 of the example file). \setupdelimitedtext [blockquote] [spacebefore=halfline] However, this fails when the blockquote is the first element on the page, either because a new blockquote starts on the top of the page (cf. p. 1) or because a blockquote continues from the last page (cf. p. 2). Is it possible to tell ConTeXt to insert a halfline of space on the top of the page in these cases? TIA, olli \setuppapersize[a5][A4] \setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on,grid=yes] \setupbodyfont[14pt] \setupdelimitedtext [blockquote] [spacebefore=halfline] \showgrid \starttext \startblockquote \input tufte \stopblockquote \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte} \startblockquote \input tufte \stopblockquote \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte} \startblockquote \input tufte \stopblockquote \input tufte \stoptext -- Oliver Heins heins(a)sopos.org http://www.sopos.org/olli GPG: F27A BA8C 1CFB B905 65A8 2544 0F07 B675 9A00 D827 1024D/9A00D827 2004-09-24 -- gpg --recv-keys 0x9A00D827 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html

Dear Hans, Thank you for your concern about Korean. Korean labels are working well, but the index tagging need a little more. I checked index in my file and found that some words which should be in the same group are scattered. Also, the order of list doesn't follow the order of korean letter. the order should be ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅎ In english index, Capital letter and small letter are mixed. I'll send pdf file to you. Thanks again. best regards, Dalyoung > > > Message: 5 > Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:27:55 +0100 > From: Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> > To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> > Subject: [NTG-context] references > Message-ID: <4D55719B.4040901(a)wxs.nl> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > Hi, > > I uploaded a beta.

Chapter Command causes ToC to not display correctly
by Tom 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

The code below seems to work fine when the first MyChapterCommand is commented out and the second one is active. However, when the first one is active and the second one is commented out, the ToC does not display properly. What could be causing this to happen? I know that the first MyChapterCommand is not appropriate and use an appropriate on in the front matter environment for the actual book. \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [iwona-heavy] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [palatino] [default] \definetypeface [pagenumber] [ss] [sans] [iwona-light] [default] \definetypeface [dedication] [rm] [serif] [chancery] [default] \setupbodyfont[mainface] %\starthiding %Chapter number only - not appropriate for frontmatter \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on] {\vbox{\centerline{ #1}}}} %\stophiding \starthiding %lines above and below chapter number and title \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on] {\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}} \stophiding % headings \definestartstop[dedication][style={\switchtobodyfont[dedication,20pt]},befo re=\page] \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead[chapter][style=\ss\bfd,alternative=middle, command=\MyChapterCommand, header=empty,footer=chapter, after={\blank[0.5in]},before={\blank[force,1.0in]} \placeinitial] \setuphead[intro][number=no] \setuphead[dedication][incrementnumber=no] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] % pagenumbers \setuppagenumbering [state=start,alternative=doublesided,conversion=numbers,location=] \setupheadertexts [chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][My Book Title] \setupheader[style={\switchtobodyfont[pagenumber,20pt]\sl}] %turn on indentation \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \starttext \dedication{} \startdedication \startalignment[middle] To someone who inspired or supported me.

Controlling the space between the number and the title in heads
by maggyero＠gmail.com 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hi, How to control the space between the number and the title in heads? By default it seems there is a space of about 1 em. I want to change that space and set a normal space instead (a word space), since I've put a dot stopper after the numbers (\setupheads[stopper=.]). Example: 1. Title (what I get) 1. Title (what I want)
