Caption label
by Felix Ingram 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

I'm defining a new float that I'd like to caption with its own label. Something like: \definefloat[picture][pictures] I'd then like the caption to read: Picture 1 - my caption text Picture 2 - etc At the moment I've used \setupcaption[picture][way=bytext] to sort out the numbering but I cannot figure out how to do the label. Any ideas? (Apologies for lack of minimal - afk atm) Felix

t-vim: additional space in \inlineX{}
by Romain Diss 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hi, I tried the t-vim module today and I had a line-break problem with \inlineX. I found the thread started by Peter Münster (last week). So I downloaded the last context beta and this problem is gone. But I got another problem : there is an unwanted additional space at the begining of the \inlineX content. See this minimal example (copy paste from Peter Münster mail): \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[C][syntax=c] \starttext bla \inlineC{void func(void)} bla \stoptext Thanks for help. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Fifth International ConTeXt User Meeting from September 19th until 24th
by Paul Menzel 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, for those wondering why the traffic on this list is quite low during the last few days, I guess the reason is most of the developers and active supporters are attending the fifth International ConTeXt User Meeting [1]. I wish a great time to everybody attending the meeting. Thanks, Paul [1] http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/

This has helped unless I have some particularly long words towards the right of the frame. I will use a combination of flushleft plus some pre-processing. Thanks for the help, Felix

Hope that this is okay and can be fixed in the core. Best regards, Stefan.

Clip and framed not precise in MKIV
by Otso Helenius 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hi, I've used ConTeXt to chop up a big map svg on separate A4 papers like this: \setuplayout[width=190mm,backspace=10mm,height=297mm,topspace=10mm, header=0mm] \setupclipping[nx=3,ny=3] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\framed{\clip[x=\recurselevel,y=1]{\externalfigure[map.svg][width=570mm]}}} \dorecurse{3}{\framed{\clip[x=\recurselevel,y=2]{\externalfigure[map.svg][width=570mm]}}} \dorecurse{3}{\framed{\clip[x=\recurselevel,y=3]{\externalfigure[map.svg][width=570mm]}}} \stoptext I'm using framed to indicate where the pieces should be cut. The problem is that \framed does not frame the area produced by \clip precisely. There is a small gap between the frame border and the clipped image area and the gap is of different size on the left and right sizes than for example on the bottom. Am I overlooking some default setting? Shouldn't \framed frame the object inside it without leaving a padding between them? Best regards, Otso Helenius

insert unicode character
by Hans van der Meer 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

I looked into the recent Fonts in Context book, but could not figure out how to access characters directly in unicode. In my case this is inside a MetaPost picture something like: \switchtobodyfont[courier,24pt] .. label ("UNICODE character U+2B06 here"… How to? Hans van der Meer

placing endnotes throws a "missing number" error
by Daniel Schopper 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Dear list, I’m running into a strange issue with endnotes. I seem to hit a limit of how many endnotes I can place in a document - although there are only 52 of them in the document. Recursing the following minimal example 12 times works fine on my machine (using today’s beta 2011.09.20 00:09) Any clues? Thanks in advance! Daniel Here’s an example: ----------------------------------------------------------------- \definenote[myFirstEndnote][endnote] \definenote[mySecondEndnote][endnote] \definenote[myThirdEndnote][endnote] \definenote[myFourthEndnote][endnote] \starttext \dorecurse{13}{ \myFirstEndnote{endnote} \input tufte \mySecondEndnote{endnote} \input tufte \myThirdEndnote{endnote} \input tufte \myFourthEndnote{endnote} \input tufte } \page \placenotes[myFirstEndnote] \placenotes[mySecondEndnote] \placenotes[myThirdEndnote] \placenotes[myFourthEndnote] \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- … this leads to a "missing number" error: !

Verbatim in framed text
by Felix Ingram 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Some of my verbatim lines are overflowing the framed text box I'm putting them in. I see that I could define a pretty printer to handle this but I came up with the following: \starttext \startframedtext[middle][width=.8\textwidth] \startframedtext[left][frame=off, width=.6\textwidth] \starttyping import x from x import y for z in b: print dfdg Some text Some text Some text Some text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really longtextSomereallylong text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text \stoptyping \stopframedtext \stopframedtext \stoptext This works but seems like cheating. Is there a better third way I could try, or could someone point to a mkiv pretty printer example I could study? Many thanks, Felix
