by Alexandre Leray 19 May '11

Hi, how could I write the name of the current \section or \subject in the outer margin, with a rotation of 90°? Best, Alex -- <stdin> Alexandre Leray graphic and media design http://stdin.fr/ Munthofstraat 27 1060 Bruxelles

How do I typeset two close vertical lines as in ||x||=1 ?
by Julian Becker 19 May '11

19 May '11

I'm still having problems migrating from latex to context: In latex, I used to write e.g. $\| x \| = 1$, and get two vertical lines on each side of the x. In ConTeXt, the same "\|" is only producing one single vertical line. I tried using "||" and "\parallel", but in both cases the spacing is not as desired. Does anybody know how this is done properly? Thanks, Julian

help for a polytonic greek type1 font
by luigi scarso 19 May '11

19 May '11

I have a small set of Polytonic greek as Type1 font with Adobe Encoding. I would like to wrap it as OpenType and use it for UTF-8 greek text, but reencoding with fontforge seems to fail (or at least I have not found a way to do it) I believe that I must do some manual work and I would like to do with MkIV. TIA -- luigi

shading
by Hans Hagen 19 May '11

Hi, Thanks to Hraban for providing spot->process color examples and Luigi and Taco for testing viewers Duncan can now do more advanced shades, that is, if he weren't using mkii. For this metafun has been extended with a few more shading commands, with the nicest being: path p ; p := fullsquare scaled 8cm shifted (20cm,-10cm) ; fill p withshading("linear",llcorner p,urcorner p) withcolor red shadedinto green ; Test file: \starttext \definecolor [blueish] [c=1,m=.38,y=0,k=.64] % pantone pms 2965 uncoated m \definecolor [yellowish] [c=0,m=.28,y=1,k=.06] % pantone pms 124 uncoated m \definespotcolor [blue-0] [blueish] [p=0.1] \definespotcolor [blue-50] [blueish] [p=0.5] \definespotcolor [blue-100] [blueish] [p=0.9] \definespotcolor [yellow-0] [yellowish] [p=0.1] \definespotcolor [yellow-50] [yellowish] [p=0.5] \definespotcolor [yellow-100] [yellowish] [p=0.9] \definemultitonecolor [somecolor] [blueish=.12,yellowish=.28] % [c=.1,m=.1,y=.3,k=.1] \definemultitonecolor [somecolor-1] [blueish=0,yellowish=1] \definemultitonecolor [somecolor-2] [blueish=1,yellowish=0] \definemultitonecolor [somecolor-3] [blueish=0.1,yellow=0.9] \definemultitonecolor [somecolor-4] [blueish=0.9,yellow=0.1] \definemultitonecolor [somecolor-5] [blueish=0.1,magenta=0.9,yellow=0.75,cyan=0.8] % [c=1] \definemultitonecolor [somecolor-6] [blueish=0.9,magenta=0.1,yellow=0.25,cyan=0.8] % [m=1] \startMPpage path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (0cm,0) ; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{blue-100} ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (5cm,0) ; fill p withcircularshading(center p,center p shifted (0,5cm),5cm,0) withcolor red shadedinto green ; fill p withshading("circular",center p,center p shifted (0,5cm),5cm,0) withcolor red shadedinto green ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (10cm,0) ; fill p withcircularshading(center p,center p shifted (0,5cm),5cm,0) withfromshadecolor red withtoshadecolor green ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (15cm,0) ; fill p withcircularshading(center p,center p shifted (0,5cm),5cm,0) withfromshadecolor \MPcolor{blue-0} withtoshadecolor \MPcolor{blue-100} ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (20cm,0) ; fill p withcircularshading(center p,center p,5cm,0) withfromshadecolor \MPcolor{yellow-0} withtoshadecolor \MPcolor{yellow-50} ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (0cm,-10cm) ; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{somecolor} ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (5cm,-10cm) ; fill p withcircularshading(center p,center p shifted (0,5cm),10cm,0) withfromshadecolor \MPcolor{somecolor-2} withtoshadecolor \MPcolor{somecolor-1} ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (10cm,-10cm) ; fill p withcircularshading(center p,center p shifted (0,5cm),10cm,0) withfromshadecolor \MPcolor{somecolor-3} withtoshadecolor \MPcolor{somecolor-4} ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm shifted (15cm,-10cm) ; fill p withcircularshading(center p,center p shifted (0,5cm),10cm,0) withfromshadecolor \MPcolor{somecolor-6} withtoshadecolor \MPcolor{somecolor-5} ; path p ; p := fullsquare scaled 8cm shifted (20cm,-10cm) ; fill p withshading("linear",llcorner p,urcorner p) withcolor red shadedinto green ; \stopMPpage \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

current
by Hans Hagen 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi, I've uploaded a current. This will be the version that goes on texlive although we can still do small patches the upcoming weeks. I also upgraded the test suite. As mkiv is still evolving no current will ever be current enough.

Where to find the code for the BibTeX integration?
by Jannis Pohlmann 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi all, I would like to extend \setuppublicationlist by adding another numbering alternative: numbering=key. The only files I could find in the ConTeXt tree that contain something related to the numbering of BibTeX publication lists were bibl-{tra,bib}.{mkii,mkiv}. Since I'm using MKIV I tried to change those files but for that to work I had to use \usemodule[bibl-bib] or \usemodule[bibl-tra] instead of \usemodule[bib] the latter of which doesn't seem to be necessary with MKIV anyway. I did some searching in the LuaTeX code as well as in the ConTeXt tree but I couldn't find the right place to extend the behavior of \setuppublicationlist with the standard bib feature of MKIV. So I'm wondering: where is all this implemented? How would I go about adding numbering=key? Any hints and suggestions are welcome! Cheers, Jannis

\startmatrix bug in beta
by Taco Hoekwater 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi Hans/ Aditya, With the latest beta, \startmatrix's final \NR creates a superfluous line, resulting in ugly output: \starttext \startformula \startmatrix[left={\left(\,},right={\,\right)}] \NC 0 \NR \NC 0 \NR \NC 0 \NR % removing this fixes the output \stopmatrix \stopformula \stoptext Best wishes, Taco
