no os numbers in lucida?
by Meer, H. van der 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

I am fairly sure the Lucida font has oldstyle numbers. But I don't get them with the \os macro. Here two minimal examples. The one with lmodern does the oldstyle numbers, the one with lucida not. I would be obliged for a solution. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupbodyfont[lucida] % the other example has [lmodern] \starttext \type{\setupbodyfont[lucida]}\crlf numbers {\rm 1234567890} in rm\crlf numbers {\os 1234567890} in os\par \stoptext

Font selection ranges
by Hans Aberg 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

I want to define an environment for computer code including non-ASCII characters, using Xits or STIXGeneral except in the ASCII range, where some monospace font like Courier should be used. If I do: \setupbodyfont[xits,10pt] \definetyping[code] \setuptyping[code][margin=yes] \starttext \startcode for ∀i, j ∈ I do a(i, j) ≔ b(i, j) \stopcode \stoptext Then the math characters won't show. They will show using \setuptyping[code][style=normal,margin=yes] but then the ASCII range isn't monospace. In LaTeX, one can use \setmathfont[range={"0001-...,}] to set ranges for fonts, but I could not find that for ConTeXt. Hans

errors with simpleslides (style-specific)
by Ondřej Hošek 30 Sep '11

Greetings, I'm using ConTeXt Standalone 2011.09.27 20:05. \usemodule[simpleslides][style=Shaded] \starttext \SlideTitle{The first slide} Hello, world. \SlideTitle{The second slide} Greetings, world. \stoptext ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 5 in file slides.ctx: Undefined control sequence ... 1 \usemodule[simpleslides][style=Shaded] 2 \starttext 3 \SlideTitle{The first slide} 4 Hello, world. 5 >> \SlideTitle{The second slide} 6 Greetings, world. 7 \stoptext 8 <argument> \@@MPG \simpleslidescounter \executeifdefined #1->\ifcsname #1 \endcsname \csname #1\expandafter \expanda... \includeMPgraphic ...\executeifdefined {\@@MPG #1} ; <argument> ...udeMPgraphic {\simpleslidescounter } ; fi StopPage ; \processMPgraphic ...ntMPgraphicformat ", \!!bs #1 ;\!!es , \!!bs \currentMPi... \handleuseMPgraphic ...hics \processMPgraphic {#3} \endgroup ... l.5 \SlideTitle{The second slide} Changing the style to "Swoosh" throws a different error message ("Undefined x coordinate has been replaced by 0.", apparently by Metapost). Presentations consisting of a single slide are processed without errors; from my cursory glance at the code, the problem lies either with the setups or with the slide counter. Cheers, ~~ Ondra

HTML export
by Charles 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi, I am new to Context (coming from Latex) and very much like it: very nice job! I would like to export my document to HTML. I am only interested by the basic formatting (like fonts, size...) and sections. I carefully read this page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/epub As far as I understood and seen the font and style switching (like \it) are ignored. First question: is it possible to avoid that behavior? If not, it brings me to my second question: I am using the bib module to manage a bibtex bibliography. The formatting of the reference section is done internally and include some style (italic) which isn't present in the XHTML output. How can have it present somehow? Thanks Charles

readfile not understood
by Meer, H. van der 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

I do not understand while \readfile behaves differently from \input with regard to TeX-code processing. I have the following code: \readfile{metapost-setup} %(file with metapost inclusions) \starttext \startMPpage .. \stopMPpage \stoptext Replace the \readfile by: \input ../../../metapost-setup %(file with metapost inclusions) works ok. But with \readfile seems to be skipped silently, that is without any sign of it in the log. The convenience of \readfile should be, if I understand correctly, that it searches upwards to the root of directory tree. Which makes the series of ../'s unnecessary and allows for easily pushing the tex-files further down when their number grows. Can it be explained? Hans van der Meer

usepath?
by Meer, H. van der 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

What are \usepath and \usesubpath supposed to do? I looked into the mkiv-code but could not find an explanation. I have a problem finding files from within a project-product-component structure and I hoped to solve through these macros. Sofar without success. In the wiki there is an item on project structure containing a \usepath but that didn't help me out. Hans van der Meer

Hello Luigi, Wolfgang, neither the first proposition, nor the second solves my problem, the size of the text area (textheight) is modified on the first page, but not well computed from the second page (it's stuck to the same value). thank you for your help, Pierre-François. -- Bonnefoi Pierre-Francois | E-mail : bonnefoi(a)unilim.fr Universite de Limoges, Laboratoire XLIM | Tel : 06 28 18 03 38 83, rue d'Isle | Mrs. Peel, we're needed... 87000 Limoges - FRANCE | The Avengers.

style=bold in \setuphead does not work anymore
by Stefan Müller 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi, In ConTeXt standalone MkIV 2011.08.04 00:42 this used to work: \setuphead[section][style=bold] \starttext \section{Ward} \input ward \stoptext In 2011.09.20 00:09 it doesn't anymore. If I use "style=\bf" I still get bold face. Is this a bug or was the interface changed deliberately? Best regards, Stefan

first-setup.sh & modules/goodies/extras
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hello, which of the following command options are (still) valid? --modules=all --extras=all --goodies=all --third=all Which files (or in which directories) are affected by these options? Is the asterisks '*' valid instead of 'all', i.e. e.g. --modules=* instead --modules=all? Is there a document (This Way, MAPS...) or a wiki page which would describe this? (I searched but found nothing...) Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.
