Problem with letter module
by Romain Diss 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hi, I am writing a letter with the 'letter' module (mkiv and last beta) and the \encl{} command doesn't work anymore. I know that the module has been rewriten recently but I can't find any doc or examples of the new syntax. I tried to look at the source code but it doesn't help. So is there any command which replace \encl{}? And is there any documentation (even succint) of the new module? Thanks. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

A bug in latin modern fonts?
by Janne Junnila 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hi! The following example seems to have some troubles with the latin modern fonts: \starttext The function $f \colon \reals \to \reals$ is given by $x \mapsto x - 3$. \stoptext The colon is printed fine, but the blackboard bold Rs don't look correct. The \mapsto symbol is missing and there's a hyphen instead of minus. Are others having the same issue? I tried to do a fresh install, but the problem persisted. There were some messages like fonts > otf loading > skipping cyclic reference U+00028 in math variant U+00028 during compiling. I don't know if they are related to the problem. Thanks, Janne Junnila

\definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2
by Peter Park Nelson 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

First-page layout is an issue that I have asked about before, but maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is my question in an earlier thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111228.041922.c60f9cd5.en.html . I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct. However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and \definelayout[1]. %%------------------------------------------------------------------- setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupindenting[yes, medium] \setuplayout [width=middle, backspace=15mm, topspace=10mm, height=254mm, header=10mm, % normal header headerdistance=5mm, footer=5mm, footerdistance=5mm, grid=yes] \definelayout [first] [width=middle, backspace=15mm, topspace=10mm, height=254mm, header=0mm, % no header headerdistance=0mm, footer=25mm, % big footer footerdistance=5mm, grid=yes] \definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes] \setupheadertexts [This is a header] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [Some text] \setupfootertexts [footer] [footer] [footer] [footer] \starttext \startcolumnset[body] \dorecurse{20}{\input tufte\par} \stopcolumnset \stoptext %%--------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

\cite fails with “Extra ...”
by Philipp Gesang 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hi all, when updating some module documentation I came across this one: ································································· \startpublication [ k=mt, t=book, a={Bodoni}, y=1818, n=1, s={Manuale}, ] \author[]{Giambattista}[]{}{Bodoni} \pubyear{1818} \title{Manuale Tipografico, 2~vols} \city{Parma} \stoppublication \starttext foo \cite[authoryear][mt] bar \stoptext ································································· This definitely works with the beta from 2011-11-04, but not with the one from 2012.01.25. Has there been a change? Regards Philipp

GSUB init, medi, fina and .fea file
by Pablo Rodríguez 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hi there, I have the following OpenType feature archive (intended to use diferent forms for initial and medial/final beta, theta and phi): languagesystem DFLT dflt ; feature init { sub uni03D0 by uni03B2 ; sub uni03B8 by uni03D1 ; sub uni03D5 by uni03C6 ; } init ; feature medi { sub uni03B2 by uni03D0 ; sub uni03D1 by uni03B8 ; sub uni03C6 by uni03D5 ; } medi ; feature fina { sub uni03B2 by uni03D0 ; sub uni03D1 by uni03B8 ; sub uni03C6 by uni03D5 ; } fina ; I use it with this file: \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn,init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,featurefile={greeksubs.fea}] \setmainfont[Theano Didot] \starttext βάρβαρος φιλοσοφία θεάσασθαι \stoptext But for some strange reason, even with this font I don't get the initial theta (uni03D1) and middle . If I change the font, add \agr to the text, change the script or remove Latin for the default font feature, GSUB no longer work. As far as I understand, the default rules should be independent from script, language and font. What am I missing here or doing simply wrong? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk

Links in TOC not working properly?!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hi, I installed the newest upgrade of ConTeXt, but processing my files yields strange results! In an interactive document the links to the different sections are not working any more. Selecting the different sections from the table-of-contents (with \placelist command!) all yield a jump to the very first section!!! Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. Currently using ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.25 14:16 MKIV fmt: 2012.1.30

TextBackground text area
by Kip Warner 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hey folks, I've been pulling my hair out for hours, as I can't seem to figure out how to set the margin with and height for a textbackground area so the text doesn't start immediately at the left frame line and go to the right frame line. I am using this: \definetextbackground[FramedText][ location=paragraph, color=color_text, background=color, backgroundcolor=colour_page, framecolor=colour_text, leftoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize, rightoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize, before={ \blank \startnarrower }, after={ \blank \stopnarrower }, style=italic, corner=round, frame=on] -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Problem Citing a Definition
by Kip Warner 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hey list, I am trying to cite a definition typeset with a \startdefinition[definition:foo] and \stopdefinition pair. I am doing this by using a \in{definition}[definition:foo]. That works, but in the text I just see linkable text "definition". I'd like it to be more descriptive of the physical location in the book, e.g. "foo in section 10.2". It was my impression according to the manual that it was suppose to already do that, or am I not using \in correctly? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

What’s your favorite command?
by Wolfgang Schuster 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hi all, to bring some traffic to the list I have a question where I hope even non regulars send a answer. The ConTeXt package is huge and provides dozen of commands but I guess many have *one* favorite command (maybe also functionality). As I started this thread I’ll present my favorite command which is \donothing, it is a internal command and only a synonym for \empty but it’s one reason why I prefer ConTeXt’s coding style (especially with the recent changes in MkIV) over the unreadable LaTeX code.
