beta
by Hans Hagen 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. There are quite some changes this time: - backend code has been reorganized and cleaned up and aspects of interaction have been partially reimplemented (like widgets) in a more mkiv-ish way (or actually mkvi); widgets now have an updated inheritance model - the font related lua code has been cleaned up and reorganized as well and; the cached data is different, the memory footprint is somewhat smaller, processing can be a bit faster, font related parameters are better organized in subtables in the font instance, etc - the generic font code (in luatex-fonts) has been stripped from context related features so that it is easier to cook up mkiv specific extensions without too much interference (or side effects) for the generic code - a couple of fixes (like discussed on this list the last few weeks) have been applied Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

beta
by Hans Hagen 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hi, One of the changes in mkiv font handling is that from now on we have mode=auto as default (beware, this is one of those mkiv only options and not supported in the generic variant). I don't know how well it works in practice but it does work out ok for cases like: \starttext \startTEXpage \definedfont[Serif*default at 20pt]fijn\par \definefontfeature[nlddefault][default][script=latn,language=nld] \definedfont[Serif*nlddefault at 20pt]fijn\par \stopTEXpage \stoptext Depending on the font, node mode takes more memory (and a bit more runtime) but you can always enforce base or node mode when you are unhappy with the automatically determined mode.

Changing the font used in a flowchart
by Cecil Westerhof 26 Mar '11

I am working with flowcharts. I want to change the font used in the flowchart. How can this be done? \setupbodyfont changes the font of the document, but not of the flowchart. -- Cecil Westerhof

Help with Times font, footnote symbols and captions
by Nicola 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hi, a document of mine (compiled with the latest mkiv beta) contains the following setup: \usetypescript[times][ec] \setupbodyfont[times,10pt] \defineconversion[onlyasterisks][*,*,*,*,*] \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=onlyasterisks,bodyfont=9pt] \setupcaptions[inbetween={\blank[6pt]},width=max,align=middle,style=bold, suffix={.}] I have some trouble with the following, however: 1) The asterisks in the footnotes appear in the margin. I can I align the * below the main text? 2) How can I make the text in the captions at 9pt? I have checked in the wiki and in the ConTeXt manual, but I cannot do the above. Besides, is the used font Times New Roman (sorry for the question, but I do not have Acrobat installed right now, and I do not know how to check the font in the pdf file)? If not, how can I use Times New Roman with mkiv? Thanks in advance, Nicola

x-ldx markup tags?
by Philipp Gesang 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hi all, the xml style docstrings for lua files are really useful but I still have no clue about what are valid tags. For instance ----------------------------------------------------------------- --[[ldx-- <p>Drop by at <url href="http://pragma-ade.com/"/>!</p> --ldx]]-- ----------------------------------------------------------------- is the syntax used to denote external links in many of context’s files (like mtxrun). But when passed to “context --ctx=x-ldx” the empty “<url/>” tag is just ignored. “<t>” or “<type>” are clear, as are “<l>” and “<logo>” -- but the other markup elemens -- assuming they do exist -- like a simple emphasis still elude me. (Just blindly grepping everything lua in the tree for some time now.) Any clarification or pointer to examples? Thanks Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Wrong cross references
by Alasdair McAndrew 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

I have seen this discussed once somewhere else, but I can't find it. Here's the problem: two equations in my document have been given numbers (1) and (2), but the references to them come up as (2) and (3) respectively. I have used: \definereferenceformat [ineqn] [left=(,right=),text=equation] to obtain their references. What is going on here? And is there an easier way to obtain parentheses around a reference number, so that "we see from equation (6)" instead of "we see from equation 6"?
