Hi, I there a command to "jump" to a specific pdf page? Like \goto,\at, \in, \about ... only, in this case a page number should be given! Any ideas? Thanks, Steffen

focus=standard not respected
by Marco 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

In the following example the page focus jumps back to »fit« after clicking on the footnote number after »Foo«, although »focus=standard« is set. \setupinteraction [state=start, focus=standard] \starttext Foo \startfootnote Bar \stopfootnote \stoptext How to respect the users scaling factor? BTW: Is there a particular reason why »focus=fit« is the default? Why should the page scaling change because the user clicked on a hyperlink? Marco

Units misbehaving, I think
by Ian Lawrence 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I don't think the /unit and /lunit command like a quantity that starts with a zero.. Any one else? First two work fine, last one causes all kinds of grief, in lists, lines etc. The leading zero and decimal point are zapped. \unit{1.0 meter inverse second} \lunit{1.0 meter inverse second} \unit{0.1 meter inverse second} \lunit{0.1 meter inverse second} \lunit{0 meter inverse second} And pretty, please, can we spell metre correctly soon ( sorry, people over the pond…) … Or at least have the option to...

relative references
by Ian Lawrence 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Anyone else had an issue with these? Work done on one system, transferred to another, and apparently the relate references all fail. Both unix - based machines… The offending machine (where the refs seem not to work) is OSX Lion…. Some samples: This works: /Users/Ian/SPT_PDF_context/ConTEXt_production_ws/Fo01_PN-Testbed/Fo_01_PN_graphics/train_full.pdf This does not ./Fo_01_PN_graphics/train_full.pdf Even when I am working inside /Users/Ian/SPT_PDF_context/ConTEXt_production_ws/Fo01_PN-Testbed/ And I think it should. It's making me quite cross…. But if I am being unremittingly stupid, and someone can enlighten me, then payment in the usual currency follows…

Hello, I'm working on a project to set up exams, basing the work on Aditya's asignment class that was published in Practex in 2006. I have a problem getting title information printed correctly. This is a cut-down version: \setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor [colorone] [r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red \definecolor [colortwo] [b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue \def\exam[#1] {\getrawparameters [Exam] [ title= course=, date=, start=, stop=, #1] \title{\Examtitle}} \definefont [BigFontOne] [RegularSlanted sa 2.5] \definefont [BigFontTwo] [Regular sa 1.5] \setuphead[title] [ style=\BigFontOne, command=\examtitle, before={}, after={\blank[big] \bgroup \colortwo Date: \expanded{\date[Examdate]} \hfill Start: \expanded{Examstart} Stop: \expanded{Examstop} \egroup\blank}, ] %D This macro does the actual typesetting of the title \def\examtitle#1#2% {\framed[ width=broad, frame=off, align=middle, foregroundcolor=colortwo, % I want a shadow around the title frame background=shadow] {#2\\{Examcourse}}} \exam[ title=Mid-term 2010, course=ES2917, date={d=17,m=2,y=2010}, start={9:00 am}, stop={11:00 am} ] I'm processing this with Mark II. The problems are that (1) The literal 'Examcourse' is typeset; (2) Today's date is typset, not the one entered in the interface; (3) The start and stop times are typeset as literals 'Examstart' & 'Examstop' Thanks for any help, Roger %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: context %%% TeX-master: t %%% End:

Hi Aditya, > Could be due to the change in catcode of &. Try adding \donknuthmode. It doesn't make any difference if I put the \donknuthmode just before \starttikzpicture.

Custom parameters/options for t-vim
by Andreas Schneider 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hi, I worked with t-vim a bit more and encountered a small problem with the way vim handles syntax definitions. Some of them have several modes that get activated by setting a variable first. For example the syntax "sh" (shell scripts) can be enhanced for bash, ksh, etc. Example: let g:is_bash=1 set syntax=sh Now a line like "export foo=bar" is highlighted differently than when I would omit the "let g:is_bash=1". Therefore I would propose another options to \setupvimtyping to specify custom options to be passed to vim. Preferably they should be passed at least before the "set syntax=..." line to make sure that this particular case -- i.e. switching syntax modes -- works well (which may be the only necessary case). -- Best Regards, Andreas
