Am not getting Roman numeral page numbers in MKIV
by Tom 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

The following code is intended to produce lower-case Roman numeral page numbers for the first 3 pages before switching to Hindu-Arabic numerals starting with the Introduction. However, I get Hindu-Arabic numerals instead of the lower-case Roman numerals page numbers. \definehead [intro][chapter] \setuphead [intro][number=no] \setuppagenumbering [state=start, conversion=romannumerals, location=bottom] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backmatter] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \setuppagenumber[state=start] \startfrontmatter %sample front matter \input knuth \completecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all] \chapter{Preface} \input knuth \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuppagenumber[state=start,conversion=number,number=1] \intro{Introduction} \input knuth \setupheadnumber[chapter][0] %resets first chapter number to 1 \chapter{I Was Born} \input knuth \chapter{I Observe} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \stopbackmatter \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com

+tlig fails sometimes in mkiv
by Ulrike Fischer 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

On c.t.t. there was a discussion about the TeX-ligatures -- and --- for endash and emdash. It seems that the luaotfload/context code fails for some font/mode combination: For some fonts +tlig works with both modes, some works only with mode=base, and there was also a report of font which doesn't work at all (Frutiger LT 55 Roman). E.g. on my PC +tlig works for Arial (c:/windows/fonts/Arial.ttf) tested with a current context minimals only with mode=base. \font\test="Arial:mode=node;+tlig" \font\testb="Arial:mode=base;+tlig" \starttext \test -- --- abc %fails \testb -- --- abc %works \stoptext \bye -- Ulrike Fischer

Line spacing on a cover page
by John Haltiwanger 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

To me the space between 'Freed' and 'by' looks awkward: \starttext \startalignment[left] \bgroup \switchtobodyfont[72pt] {\ss Freed \par by \par Design} \egroup \stoptext -- Should I be using \start..\stoplines ? or is this a bug?

header entries semi-wrong
by Steffen Wolfrum 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi, please run the minimal example attached: --on page 1 there is section "1.1 one" and you get the header entry "1.1 one" - on page 3 there is still section "1.1 one" and you get the header entry "1.2 one" (<- ?!) - on page 5 there is section "1.2 two" and you get the header entry "1.2 two" you see the problem? the "getmarking" behaves correctly (one/one/two) while the "headnumber" is confused (1.1/1.2/1.2))! Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

\startsetups amd \startJSpreamble
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hello, just to confirm - the role of the text after \start*: \startsetups thumbs - on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Thumb_index and \startJSpreamble MyStuff used later - in the last mails between Vedran and Hans. Do I understand well that "thumbs" and "MyStuff used later" in both cases are names of the setups and are reffered later by these names? I fell a bit confused as normally such names are enclosed in brackets; thus I'd rather expect syntax like: \startsetups[thumbs] ... \stopsetups and \startJSpreamble[MyStuff used later] ... \stopJSpreamble Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Compile script
by Cecil Westerhof 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

I have been asking a lot of questions lately and getting very speedy replies. Time to give something back. ;-} I attached a script I made to easily compile ConTeXt files in the current directory. Default it looks if there are tex files where there is no pdf file, or the pdf file is older. Those are compiled. It is possible that a tex file has not changed, but a file that it depends on has. That is why there is the parameter --all. When this is given, all tex files are compiled. I hope it is useful to someone. -- Cecil Westerhof

extra line in tabulate headers
by Florian Wobbe 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi, how can I suppress the extra line in the header of the example on contextgarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate#Headers)? Removing header=repeat from \setuptabulate helps but I'd like to keep header repetition. Thanks, Florian

Style of header text
by Milton Galo Patricio Inostroza Aguilera 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hi, I'm trying to setup the style of the header text in this way: \setupcolors[state=start,system=rgb] \definecolor[Darkred][r=0.5,g=0.0,b=0.0] \definehead[MyChapter][chapter] \setuphead[MyChapter][ after=\blank, number=no, continue=no, textcolor=Darkred, style=\ss\tfc ] \starttext \MyChapter{Introduccion} \MyChapter{Final} \stoptext It work's fine. I want that when exist a pagebreak, the system shows the name of the chapter in the new page. For that, I define a custom pagebreak like this: \definepagebreak [mychapterpagebreak] [yes,header] and set in MyChapter's header the attribute page=mychapterpagebreak. The system shows the name of the chapter, but I want to setup its style (color, fontstyle, size, etc)...is it possible?. Regards, -- Milton

Full example of font setup
by mathew 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hi. I recently returned to TeX after a 20 year absence, and decided ConTeXt was the best choice of package for a modern TeX environment. I've been reading through the wiki pages, manuals, and drafts of new manual chapters, trying to put together a full example of setting up a complete set of fonts for a document. My heavily commented example is at http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/DQcygbld I'd appreciate any comments and corrections, as I'd like to try and make sure my understanding is correct before I publish the example anywhere. Thanks, mathew
