Titles - dimensions and grid after
by Honza Hejzl 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hello, I simply need to have chapter title exactly placed, not on grid (25mm from left, top of all letters on the edge of the whole grid). I have tried: \setupbodyfont[termes,11pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=14pt] \definefont[nadpisy][SansBold at 22pt] \setuphead[chapter][% before={\dontleavehmode\blank[-0.26cm]\hskip 25mm}, number=yes, style=\nadpisy after={\blank[11*line]}, ] This works fine but the text after is NOT on grid (don't know how to). The second thing is it is NOT skipped 25mm but so cca 30mm. %\def\mychapterstyle#1#2{\framed[frame=on,location=top, offset=0pt,width=\textwidth,height=57mm,align=top]{{\hskip 25mm#1 #2}}} \setuphead[chapter][% number=yes, style=\nadpisy command=\mychapterstyle, after={\blank[11*line]}, ] This works fine but the problem is that in case of some charons or other diacritics the whole title is due to it slightly moved down. What could solve my problem? (How to get the text after on grid and have exactly 25mm \hskip OR How to have a framed titles where the diacritical marks are above the top of the frame?) Thanks, Honza Hejzl

TikZ bug fixing (git, minimals, ...)

See doc/generic/pgf/ChangeLog Christian Feuersaenger ludewich, users.sourceforge.net Christophe Jorssen cjorssen, users.sourceforge.net Jannis Pohlmann jannis, xfce.org Matthias Schulz ma.schulz, email.de ... (Dear Christian: I'm still waiting for a fix for something that I sent a while ago. This original thread "Latest betas break tikz matrix" is at http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/thread.html.) We definitely need some ConTeXt specific bug tracking with automatic email reminders for pgf developers to fix those bugs ;) ;) ;) In principle we could also create a git project, create a context branch, apply the fixes to it and use that one in ConTeXt minimals, hoping that PGF developers will pick them up. Now a question: - It is trivial to convert CVS project into GIT project (git cvs import ...) - It is trivial to rearrange the structure into TDS with a script (I simply use a few rsync commands) - I don't know how to combine both. Does anyone have some nice idea how to take the existing CVS project with complete history and make a TDS-compliang git project out of it (keeping all the history, authors, ... etc.) I also have commit rights for TeX Live, but I don't dare applying patches without having them applied upstream. If nothing else, that just postpones the problem to the time after PGF will release a new version and that one won't work. Mojca

ToC, other choices instead of dots [alternative=c]
by Honza Hejzl 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hello, is there any way how to choose something different than dots/spaces like a title-pagenumber separator (without harakiri hacking)? I need to have dashes there, like: 1. Chapter ----------- 5 2. Chapter ----------- 8 Thank you, Honza Hejzl

Setup of the title of Contents
by Honza Hejzl 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hello, I wish I were able to set tup my custom title (for example, for table of contents). I have chapter titles split over two lines and with different sizes so I need something different as a title of Contents. I know about many possibilities of \setuplist options but can't find anything about changing the title style. It seems the basic style is simply derived from the chapter title style. Any advice? Thanks, Honza Hejzl

beta
by Hans Hagen 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi, I uploaded a beta. Apart from some fixes/additions the most important difference is that the scite support files have been replaced: instead of the built-in lexer we now use the lpeg based one. There is a readme file in the context/data/scite subpath. Those using it need a recent version of scite (I use 2.28). The lexers are working ok but might be improved in due time.

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:

Basic layout settings

Hello, I am trying to learn how to set up the layout according to my exact wish and can't achieve one thing. How to remove those annoying tight spaces on both sides? I simply need 1.5cm on the side of binding and 0.5cm on the outer one. Here is the source: \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[cz] \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuplayout[% location=middle, width=fit, height=505.4pt, topspace=51.13pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, leftmargindistance=0pt, rightmargindistance=0pt, rightmargin=0pt, leftmargin=15mm, rightmargin=5mm, leftedgeditstance=0pt, rightedgedistance=0pt, footerdistance=13.3pt, footer=13.3pt, grid=yes, marking=on ] \setuppagenumbering[location=right] \showgrid \showframe \starttext \input{tufte} \stoptext Thank, Honza Hejzl

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.

MKIV strange results in Adobe Reader
by Otso Helenius 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Hello, I recently made a SimpleSlides presentation with MKIV (2011.08.27 13:24). It looks ok on numerous PDF readers including Okular, Google Docs, Sumatra PDF. Whenever I open it on Adobe Reader, the results are rather puzzling: 1) The fifth page background is not black but grey, also some later pages have grey background 2) The RGB and CMYK swatch colours are all messed up The picture on page four has been intentionally corrupted with a hex editor and then opened and saved again in Gimp to remove the errors in the file. You can view the source here: https://pi-xi.net/share/colorlecture.tex and the finished PDF here: https://pi-xi.net/share/colorlecture.pdf The only modifications I've made to the simpleslides-s-BottomSquares.tex is replacing the background color, contrast color and variant color with different values ([s=.0], [r=.8,g=.2,b=.2], [s=.15]). I would appreciate if someone could explain if there are bugs in my tex sources, in MKIV or in the Adobe Reader – and in any case how can I fix the erroneous output on Adobe Reader to match it on Sumatra, Google Docs, etc. Best regards, Otso Helenius
