Using forms and saving values
by Cecil Westerhof 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

I have –simplified– the following: \starttext \defineframed [action] [width=5cm, height=3cm, offset=none, frameoffset=.5\linewidth] \action{} \stoptext What I would like to do is to let the user input some text and display it in this frame. (In reality there will be more frames.) When the text is to big to be displayed in the frame, it should be rejected. This is so that the document can be modified with the text from the user. I also would like to save the input from the user in a file, so that it can be used later again. Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

Wiki discussion: Fwd: Ctx wiki
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hello, I passed first trials contributing wiki - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:Contributions/LuP. Several questions: - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/%5Cdoif... The item about "\doif..." was intended to appear in the reference/en, but it doesn't. How to provide it? - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/%5Cstartitemize The item "\staritemize" creates (automatic?) table of contents, but bellow the first table (why?). Is it possible 1) to avoid the TOC creation or 2) to determine another TOC location? - Why there is "%5C" in the links above? Any way how to avoid this? Pls, feel free to modify my initial experienceless wiki code - I'll recognize your modifications, so I may avoid bad ways in the future. Best regards, Lukas

No indent after a flowchart
by Cecil Westerhof 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

I am using indent, but do not want indent in the first paragraph. A paragraph after a flowchart is always the first paragraph. Is there a way to have no indent in that paragraph? I could put a \myblank between the flowchart and the paragraph. But that is not a very neat solution. -- Cecil Westerhof

A dashed box around a range of objects in flowcharts
by Cecil Westerhof 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I use the following: \runMPgraphicsfalse \usemodule[chart] \setupFLOWcharts[ bodyfont={PT Serif,rm,10pt}, ] \starttext \startFLOWchart[subversion] \startFLOWcell \location {2,1} \name {test} \shape {34} \text {test} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \location {3,1} \name {production} \shape {34} \text {production} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [bt]{progA} \connection [rl]{branches} \connection [tl]{test} \location {1,2} \name {trunk} \shape {34} \text {trunk} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [bpt]{progA} \connection [lr]{trunk} \connection [rl]{tags} \location {2,2} \name {branches} \shape {34} \text {branches} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [tb]{production} \location {3,2} \name {tags} \shape {34} \text {tags} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [tb]{trunk} \connection [ptb]{branches} \location {1,3} \name {progA} \shape {34} \text {Programmer A} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \location {2,3} \name {progB} \shape {34} \text {Programmer B} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \location {3,3} \name {progC} \shape {34} \text {Programmer C} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[subversion] \stoptext This does reasonably what I want. I just want one more thing. The three figures on the middle line are part of subversion. I would like to show this by putting a a dashed box around it. Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

Re: [NTG-context] Small capitals broken in latest beta?

Completely misunderstood the problem from the beginning. Wiki entry reverted. But I still hope that there is an easier solution to resolving a psuedo smallcaps from available capitals in a font in mkIV.

Small capitals broken in latest beta?
by C. 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello, could it be that in the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2011.03.30 11:21 MKIV) the font feature 'small capitals' is broken? Can someone who has Minion Pro test this, please? I'm using \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[smcp][default][smcp=yes] \def\sc{\addff{smcp}} \definefontfeature[allc][default][smcp=yes,c2sc=yes] \def\allc{\addff{allc}} \setmainfont[Minion Pro][expansion=quality, protrusion=quality] \starttext {\sc Test} {\allc Test} \stoptext No small capitals :(

Side effect of virtual fonts
by Ulrike Fischer 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

I made two copies of luatex-fonts-demo-vf-1.lua named vf-a.lua and vf-b.lua (The original file can be found in \context-minimals\context\tex\texmf-context\tex\generic\context). In both copies I changed the three fonts the virtual font uses as basis to "Arial". In vf-b.lua I added after the for-loop which manipulates the caracters this code: f1.characters[98].width=3000000 f2.characters[98].width=3000000 f3.characters[98].width=3000000 f1.characters[97]= nil f2.characters[97]= nil f3.characters[97]= nil It has the expected effect when I use vf-b: It enlarges the width of the "b" and removes the "a" from the font. But it not only affect the vf-b-font, it also affects vf-a: If I load vf-a *after* vf-b, it also loose the "a" and the width of "b" is changed. In a older version of context, where the lua used "fonts.tfm.readanddefine" instead of the new "fonts.constructors.readanddefine" I got an side effect too, but only on the "a". My questions are 1. Why do I get the side effect only when f1, f2 and f3 call the same font? Chance (because of the math random) or something else? 2. How can I make a virtual lua-font which is free of such side effects? 3. I got errors when I tried to use the old version of the virtual font with the newest context. Is "fonts.tfm.readanddefine" now deprecated? -- Ulrike Fischer

fontsize calculation broken
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Since about last week's beta I get an "Illegal unit of measure" error (pointing to a completely different place) with this line: \definedfont[SansBold at 1.5\fontsize] I just want to adapt the local font size relative to the current setting. It worked before. What should I do? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
