beta
by Hans Hagen 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, I uploaded a beta: - Project structure related files are now dealt with in lua: it's mostly compatible but somewhat more strict (proper push and pop). In the log file the used structure is summarized. - All writing from lua to tex is now under control of the cld infrastructure. This means that logging is more complete. The speed penalty is neglectable and in some places faster. - There are a couple of fixes related to marks. - There are a couple of fixes (thanks to Wolfgang, who checks all commands as part of the user interface (setups) documentation). - In \asciimode, %% now can be used as traditional tex comment starter. Also, modules and environments are loaded under the normal catcode regime. - Typing gets frontstripped with the number of spaces in front of \stoptyping so that one can have nicely formatted input like: \startitemize \startitem test \starttyping test \stoptyping \stopitem \stopitemize - Entities in xml mode have a slightly different roundtrip treatment now and hopefully Thomas S as well as Hans vd M files still work ok. - Unicode math variants (supported by xits) are supported: \mathematics { \utfchar{"2229} = \utfchar{"2229}\utfchar{"FE00} = \vsone{\utfchar{"2229}} } - Defining commands at the lua end now also handles arg only cases and has better tracing. - Some other other things, like \startlayout[page] ... \stoplayout and whatever I forgot.

I need to export my document. For this I use: \setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes] I have update my document with start and stop for chapter, section and subsection, but I have one problem.

unwanted page break
by Jeong Dalyoung 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Dear all, I have a strange output today. Writing a sentences, it makes a page break even though there are enough space for the remaining sentences. Here are sample output.(the lines is a frame) As you see there are enough space, I think. Sometimes, the section title is located at the bottom of the page, so I put \page to make the new section starts from a new page. In this case, is it possible to make section starts from a new page without saying \page? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Making bibliography references interactive in mkiv
by Christian 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hello list, I'm currently using the built in bib-module in mkiv together with a bib database file. How can I set it up so that clicking on a reference takes me to the corresponding entry in the publication list? Example: ...lots of text... You can find more information in [23]. ...many more pages of text... Publications ... [23] Hoekwater, T. (2006). CONTEXT Publication Module, The user documententation. ... When clicking on "[23]" in the text, I want to jump right to the [23] entry in the publication list. Is this possible?

math-align / subformulas not working
by Peter Schorsch 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I just tried an example from math-ali.mkiv: \starttext \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC a \NC \eq b \NR[+] \NC c \NC \neq d \NR \NC \NC \neq f \NR[+] \NC \NC \geq g \NR[+][a] \NC \NC \leq h \NR[+][b] \NC \NC \eq i \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext But the subformula ...[+][a] and ...[+][b] are not shown as expected... they are shown as normal formula numbers - but they should be subformula numbers. Is there a new way to create subformulas? P.

inner/outer margin: confused width
by Peter Schorsch 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, the width of my inner and outer margin are different and the pagelayout is double sided. When I use \ininner and \inouter directly, always the correct width is used. But as soon I put it into a function the wrong margin width is often used. I attached two files: - simple example tex file - the pdf output of that example file In the example pdf you can see starting from page five the mixed up result. Is there something I do wrong with the double sided mode? Or is this an issue how the function is written? Thanks in advance! P.

Fw: A question about layers

You know, when I hear the word "layer", I have some ideas about how it should/could/might work, and probably these ideas are different than Hans'. So I'm going to briefly describe my idea (already modified by the answers) and please tell me what's wrong with it. So I imagine that \definelayer / \setuplayer defines a rectangular shape on the page, possibly framed/colored/etc., which is going to appear on all pages (default) or on selected ones. The contents of layers are set with \setlayer, (with some - mysterious for me - "setups" trickery if they are going to change from page to page), and they are actually put on the page by \setupbackgrounds. (And I have no idea what \flushlayer does in this conceptual framework.) So layers are actually kind of "beneath" ordinary page contents. Some of these commands (which ones?) should moreover be placed before \startext. OK, so where am I right and where am I wrong now? -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl -- Marcin Borkowski

right and left alignment in header w/ linebreak sign
by Peter Schorsch 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I am trying to have the header text aligned at the outer border of margin. At the moment I have \setupheadertexts[margin][][\rightaligned{\CurrentChapter}][\leftaligned{\CurrentChapter}][] and in the text \chapter{A very, very long long heading} and it works like I expect it. But as soon I have a linebreak in the heading (via \\) I get following error message: structure > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> A very,\\very long long title ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. system > tex > error on line 1 in file context-test-struktur3.tex: Extra }, or forgotten ... As soon I remove the alignment in the header also the chapter with the linebreak sign works - but of course I get then a wrong alignment. How can I make that the header works with the correct alignment and linebreaks in the heading? (header should be still without linebreaks) Thanks in advance! Complete example: -------------8<---------------------------- % define margins \definelayout[WithMarginnotes][location={duplex},grid=no,topspace=3cm,height=24cm,backspace=3cm,cutspace=0cm,leftmargin=1cm,leftmargindistance=0.4cm,width=12.1cm,rightmargindistance=0.4cm,rightmargin=3.5cm] \setuplayout[WithMarginnotes] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=] \showframe % define header \define\CurrentChapter% {\doiftextelse {\getmarking[chapternumber]}% {\getmarking[chapternumber].~\getmarking[chapter]}% {\getmarking[chapter]}% } \setupheadertexts[margin][][\rightaligned{\CurrentChapter}][\leftaligned{\CurrentChapter}][]% % \starttext \completecontent[criterium=all] \chapter{A very,\\very long long heading} \chapter{A very, very long long heading} \chapter{End} \stoptext
