by Andreas Harder 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hi all, consider the following example. I there a proper way to hook \tfxx in an itemize environment? \starttext \showframe \startitemize[n,packed][before=\tfxx,distance=5em] \dorecurse{12}{\item test} \stopitemize Desired output is: \tfxx \startitemize[n,packed][distance=5em] \dorecurse{12}{\item test} \stopitemize \stoptext Regards Andreas

Simplefonts
by Charles Doherty 21 Feb '11

Dear Wolfgang, The file from which the extract is taken worked fine a few months ago. I have since updated minimals and also simplefonts but I now have a problem. This update was today. The main font is typeset as Gentium Basic as requested but the Gaelic font is set as a roman italic. The switch to Mionchló does not happen. If I reverse the two fonts and make the Mionchló the main font it typesets correctly as the Gaelic font but the switch in this case to Gentium Basic gives the same roman italic. I have not changed the file since it worked correctly. Thanks, Charlie \usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module \setmainfont[Gentium Basic] \starttext Transcription of gloss on fol. 18 begins here: \blank[2*big] {\switchtobodyfont[14pt]{\simplefont[Mionchló]{Luan cengcegeise i(n)diu duī ingliid dalacha iſ tɼua ī ſcel tuathal do bith dithɼe {\high{\simplefont[Mionchló]{īdiu}}} ⁊ iſ tɼuagiu a hec a{\high{\simplefont[Mionchló]{ɼ}}}ɼaíɼ ⁊ a adnucul īnoſa}}} \blank[big] Luan cengcegeise i(n)diu dui(n) i ngliid dalacha is trua i(n) scel Tuathal do bith dithre \high{i(n)diu} \low{7}\ is truagiu a hec a\high{r}raír \low{7}\ a adnucul i(n)nosa \blank[big] It is Whit Monday here in Glendalough today.

Unexpected indentation
by Richard Lennox 21 Feb '11

Hi, getting unexpected o/p with the following (both locally and on http://live.contextgarden.net/: It took me a while to come across the second incantation to get my desired o/p but I would be obliged if anyone would care to comment on why the first does not work as (I) expected. I would expect both addresses to be indented the same amount but only the first line of the first address appears indented as expected: \starttext % define skip before paragraphs (default is no skip) \setupwhitespace[3.5mm] %\setupwhitespace[big] \hskip 2cm 9/99 Addr Line 1 Street\hfil\break \hskip 2cm Addr Line 2\hfil\break \hskip 2cm City\hfil\break \startnarrower[2*left] \startalignment[right] 2/99 addr line 1\hfil\break addr line 2\hfil\break addr line 3 \stopalignment \stopnarrower \stoptext

The only letter ("g") I have left in the logo has two spaces that I want to cut out. I can't make a single path out of it so that it doesn't go through the entire letter, so what to do in this case? Here's the example: %%% \starttext \framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=red,height=fit,width=fit]{ \startMPcode path gb[],gf[],gc[]; gb1 := (100.023003,46.691399)..controls (100.023003,47.015598) and (100.348000,47.203098)..(100.969002,47.203098) ..controls (101.859001,47.203098) and (101.859001,46.855499)..(102.371002,46.855499) ..controls (102.695000,46.855499) and (102.991997,47.015598)..(102.991997,47.582001) ..controls (102.991997,48.066399) and (102.530998,48.230499)..(102.101997,48.230499) ..controls (101.616997,48.230499) and (100.996002,48.093800)..(100.348000,47.664101) ..controls (100.188004,47.527302) and (99.781197,47.339802)..(99.539101,47.500000) ..controls (99.027298,47.851601) and (98.570297,48.093800)..(97.355499,48.093800) ..controls (96.144501,48.093800) and (94.363297,47.367199)..(93.230499,45.828098) ..controls (92.421898,44.695301) and (92.261703,43.886700)..(92.261703,43.078098) ..controls (92.261703,42.269501) and (92.585899,41.675800)..(92.828102,41.355499) ..controls (92.878899,41.273399) and (92.906197,41.218800)..(92.906197,41.136700) ..controls (92.906197,40.949200) and (92.664101,40.812500)..(92.261703,40.707001) ..controls (91.531197,40.464802) and (90.320297,39.761700)..(90.320297,38.523399) ..controls (90.320297,37.714802) and (90.964798,36.933601)..(91.695297,36.445301) ..controls (91.695297,36.445301) and (90.210899,36.042999)..(89.023399,35.394501) ..controls (88.109398,34.882801) and (87.082001,34.101601)..(87.082001,32.968800) ..controls (87.082001,31.675800) and (88.191399,29.570299)..(92.746101,29.570299) ..controls (95.414101,29.570299) and (97.085899,30.539101)..(97.734398,31.269501) ..controls (98.218803,31.835899) and (98.296898,32.484402)..(98.296898,32.886700) ..controls (98.296898,34.343800) and (96.683601,35.718800)..(94.902298,36.687500) ..controls (93.769501,37.335899) and (92.097702,38.117199)..(92.097702,39.277302) ..controls (92.097702,39.574200) and (92.179703,39.898399)..(92.503899,40.085899) ..controls (92.718803,40.250000) and (93.070297,40.328098)..(93.445297,40.328098) ..controls (93.957001,40.328098) and (94.605499,40.167999)..(95.066399,40.167999) ..controls (96.519501,40.167999) and (98.488297,40.652302)..(99.703102,43.242199) ..controls (100.023003,43.968800) and (100.160004,44.695301)..(100.160004,45.316399) ..controls (100.160004,46.125000) and (100.023003,46.316399)..(100.023003,46.691399) --cycle; drawdot (100.023003,46.691399) withcolor blue withpen pencircle scaled 2pt; gf2 := (92.960899,30.351601)..controls (89.968803,30.351601) and (89.078102,32.078098)..(89.078102,32.941399) ..controls (89.078102,33.750000) and (89.402298,34.261700)..(90.210899,34.828098) ..controls (90.777298,35.234402) and (91.613297,35.636700)..(92.261703,35.878899) ..controls (92.988297,35.558601) and (94.093803,34.910198)..(94.445297,34.585899) ..controls (96.062500,33.453098) and (96.386703,32.808601)..(96.386703,32.242199) ..controls (96.386703,30.703100) and (94.093803,30.351601)..(92.960899,30.351601) --cycle; drawdot (92.960899,30.351601) withcolor green withpen pencircle scaled 2pt; gf1 := (98.867203,46.367199)..controls (98.867203,45.585899) and (98.570297,44.535198)..(97.894501,43.402302) ..controls (96.628899,41.355499) and (95.628899,40.949200)..(94.769501,40.949200) ..controls (94.039101,40.949200) and (93.714798,41.542999)..(93.714798,42.406200) ..controls (93.714798,43.160198) and (94.039101,44.132801)..(94.605499,45.019501) ..controls (95.468803,46.394501) and (96.683601,47.527302)..(97.761703,47.527302) ..controls (98.488297,47.527302) and (98.867203,47.175800)..(98.867203,46.367199) --cycle; drawdot (98.867203,46.367199) withcolor yellow withpen pencircle scaled 2pt; gc1 := gb1 -- gf1 -- cycle; gc2 := gc1 -- gf2 -- cycle; fill gc2; \stopMPcode } \stoptext %%% How do I get rid of the crossing line?

Compilation problem with latest beta

Hi everyone, I was compiling a document with the version of ConTeXt that comes with TeXLive 2010, and now tried to compile it the latest beta of the Minimals installation. The compilations fails with the following error: [...] pages > flushing realpage 6, userpage 1 pages > flushing realpage 7, userpage 1 ) system > end file vol_vii_3/frontmatter at line 14 pages > flushing realpage 8, userpage 1 !

textcommand=\uppercase in setuphead is propagated to lower level settings
by Dinh Tran 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hello. I apply textcommand=\uppercase to a section heading but it is propagated to subheadings. Is there a good reason for this. Some other notes in this test design: 1) textcommand=\uppercase does not work with luatex engine 2) textcommand=\WORD works in the luatex engine, but the propagation of uppercase to subheadings is also encountered. 3) numbercolor=red only works with luatex. I submit the pdf's also. Thanks, Dinh --- Code: %%% CHAPTER AND SECTION STYLING \def\BookchapterCommand#1#2{\framed[frame=off,rightframe=on]{#1\space}\framed[frame=off]{\space#2}} %\setuphead[chapter][command=\BookchapterCommand,page=chapter,numbercolor=red,alternative=inmargin] \setuphead[chapter][command=\BookchapterCommand,numbercolor=red,alternative=inmargin] \setuphead[section][numbercolor=red, after=\nowhitespace, style={\ss\bfa},textcommand=\uppercase] %% textcommand also applied on lower level headings. Why? %% Note: \WORD does not seem to work with textcommand for xetex and pdftex engines, but \uppercase, \Words, \lowercase work. %% For luatex, textcommand=\uppercase does not work. Use \WORD.

Switchting between betas
by Michael Goerz 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hi everyone, I've been using ConTeXt (MKIV) through TeXLive 2010 until now, but wanted to try to use the Minimals installation. The installation went fine, but the latest beta version was not able to compile my document (I'll be posting about that separately). What I'm confused about is this: Does only the beta-version have MkIV/LuaTeX support? It seems that I cannot make the MKIV format if I install one of the "dated" versions: goerz@ophelia:~/context> ./first-setup.sh --context=2010.07.30 [ ... ] goerz@ophelia:~/context> mtxrun --selfupdate MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: loading configuration file '/Users/goerz/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: to be replaced old script /Users/goerz/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: unable to locate new script Is there a way of getting a version of minimals that has MKIV and is equivalent to the TeXLive 2010 installation, so that I can compile my document? More generally, is there a way to switch to the beta version of a specific date? Considering that new betas might break the compilation of existing documents, there would have to be a way for me to tell people "compile this document with version xxxx" -- even if it's just a specific revision number. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any reproducible way of compiling documents. Thanks, Michael Goerz
