Setting width of table column
by Roger Mason 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hello, I cannot find how to set the width of a table column. I am running MkII. The manual gives this: w<> set minimum column width at specified value I have currently: \starttable[|l|l|w5cm l|p|] but that italicises the content of column 3. I have tried variations to no avail. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Roger

MikTeX & ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 13 May '11

13 May '11

Dear ConTeXt-ers, in particular H&T, I have just noticed that 64-bit MikTeX is now using LuaTeX 0.70 and that the 32-bit version will follow at the end of May. It would be nice to prepare some version of ConTeXt compatible with LuaTeX 0.70 that MikTeX could fetch (and one would have to take care for configuration differences since the last version of ConTeXt that was included).

displaying lines of formulas one by one
by Jeong Dalyoung 13 May '11

13 May '11

Dear all, I'd like to show the following formula line by line in a presentation, For example, \startformula\startalign \NC T(4) \NC = T(3) + 4 \NR \NC \NC= T(2) + 3 + 4 \NR \NC \NC= T(1) + 2 + 3 + 4 \NR \NC \NC= 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 \NR \stopalign\stopformula I tried to use \StartSteps and \StopSteps but not succeed. \starttext \usemodule[pre-60] \StartSteps \startformula\startalign \NC T(4) \NC = T(3) + 4 \NR\FlushStep %(nor \FlushStep\NR) \NC \NC= T(2) + 3 + 4 \NR\FlushStep \NC \NC= T(1) + 2 + 3 + 4 \NR\FlushStep \NC \NC= 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 \NR\FlushStep \stopalign\stopformula \StopSteps \stoptext Is there a way to do so? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Wrong spacing with inline math in latest mkiv
by Otared Kavian 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hi Hans and Taco, It seems that with the latest mkiv (version 2011.05.11 10:18, and LuaTeX version beta-0.70.0-2011050613 (rev 4250) ), there is a slight error for the spacing of the bounds in the integrals when using inline maths, at least for some fonts. For your information the example is below, and the resulting PDFs are available here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-libertine.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-LM.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-palatino.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-termes.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/inline-math-spacing-xits.pdf Best regards: OK %% begin bug-inline-math.tex %\setupbodyfont[xits] % gives the correct spacing \setupbodyfont[palatino] % gives the wrong spacing %\setupbodyfont[libertine,12pt] % gives a slightly wrong spacing %\setupbodyfont[termes] % gives the wrong spacing % Latin Modern gives also a slightly wrong spacing too \starttext By the way, $\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x)dx = 0$, while $\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-1} = +\infty$ and \startformula \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin^2(x)dx = \pi,\qquad \sum_{n=1}^\infty {1\over n^2 } = {\pi^2\over 6}. \stopformula \stoptext %% end bug-inline-math.tex

Strange behavior with square brackets in formula and \rm subscripts
by Julian Becker 12 May '11

12 May '11

I just found out that I cannot (with MkIV on Windows XP, ConTeXt ver. 2011.02.09 16:42) compile the following \starttext This formula produces an error: \startformula [r_{\rm test}]=a \stopformula \stoptext \starttext However, this works: \startformula a=[r_{\rm test}] \stopformula What's going on here? Using \mathrm instead of \rm in the subscript is compiling without complaint, but produces the wrong output. Julian

Coupled register errors!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hi, A few years ago I created a screen document met menus and coupled registers, and it just worked fine. A fresh compilation of this document throws several 'undefined control sequence' errors; so I wonder what has happened to this feature? Are commands like \defineregister, \setupregister and \couple(d)register still valid ConTeXt commands? Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.03.30 11:21 MKIV fmt: 2011.3.30 int: english/english. Regards, Gerard Verhaag

\completepublications without criterium gives no publications at all?
by Julian Becker 11 May '11

11 May '11

I just encountered a problem when running the following, using the sample.bib given in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/sample_bib) The list of References is emtpy. If I added the argument "[criterium=text]" to \completepublications, it produces the correct result (it prints out the list of references), but if I put that as an additional parameter in setuppublications as "\setuppublications[alternative=apa,criterium=text]", again: no list of references. Is this a bug? or maybe I haven't used the correct setup? Julian -------- \setupbibtex[database={sample},sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \starttext Hier ein zitat: \cite[hh2010a]. \completepublications \stoptext ----------- -- "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for it is the wellspring of life."

“deo” patterns?
by Philipp Gesang 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hey all, the “deo” hyphenation does not appear to be accessible anymore. ··8<····························································· %\mainlanguage [deo] % neither of \language [deo] % these two works \starttext Fluß, Guß, Stuß. \stoptext ··8<····························································· Which makes context throw a “! Conflicting pattern ignored.” error over here. Did something change? If so, this should be reflected on the wiki. Thanks, Philipp
