Margin text in doublesided documents
by C. 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hello, in my doublesided document \inmargin texts are always on the left side of the body text. \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location=right,alternative=doublesided] \setupmargindata[left][style=\tfx] \starttext \chapter{Chapter Knuth testing} \section{Section Knuth testing} \input knuth\inmargin{test}\input knuth\page \section{Section Knuth testing 2} bla bla \inmargin{test 1.5}bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}Nochmal \inmargin{test 2}ein Test.\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}\inmargin{bla} \stoptext Also, is \setupinmargindata equivalent to the old \setupinmargin? I could not find any documentation about it. This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.66.0-2011033109 (rev 4094) ConTeXt ver: 2011.03.30 11:21 MKIV fmt: 2011.4.2 int: english/english

How to set oldstyle numbering globally?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, In my earlier MkIV minimal ConTeXt installation (dec.2010) I used the following in my preamble to activate oldstyle numbering: \usetypescript[schola] \setupbodyfont[schola,8pt] \definefontfeature [oldstyle] [default] [onum=yes] \addff{oldstyle} but this doesn't seem to work anymore in my recently installed minimal ConTeXt installation (ConTeXt ver: 2011.03.30 11:21 MkIV fmt: 2011.3.30 int: english/english). I use this installation with Debian 6.0 (Squeeze). Any idea what's wrong? Regards, Gerard Verhaag

Frame until the bottom of the page
by Aditya Mahajan 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, I want to create a frame that should occupy the remaining space on the page. For example, if I call this frame when the page is 1/3rd full, I want the frame to have an height of 0.667\textheight. How can I do that? In other words, how to I find out how much space is left on the current page? Thanks, Aditya

Title in textrule
by Flavien Lambert 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Dear all, is there a way to change the style and size of the font used to print "Instruments" in the following example ? I would like something like \bfb\ss. \textrule[top]{Instruments} Some artists mention the instruments that they use during the production of their \kap{CD}. In Peter Gabriel’s \quote {Digging in the dust} he used the {\em diembe}, {\em tama} and {\em surdu}. The information on another song mentions the {\em doudouk}. Other \quote {unknown} instruments are used on his \kap{cd} \quote {Passion}. \textrule Thanks in advance, -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way."

luatex-cache setup
by Ernesto Posse 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hello. I use a few tools from ConTeXt such as mptopdf, and whenever I run them they generate a 'luatex-cache' folder directly under my user folder, but this luatex-cache folder is not hidden. How can I configure ConTeXt or luatex to tell it where the cache folder should be? (I looked up the archives and docs but I didn't find anything about this.) Thanks -- Ernesto Posse Modelling and Analysis in Software Engineering School of Computing Queen's University - Kingston, Ontario, Canada
