Controlling vertical position of floats
by Marcin Borkowski 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hi again, \placefigure[right,<option>]{caption}{figure} does different things with option being (a) empty, (b) high, (c) low. Could anyone explain to me the exact meaning of these three alternatives? Also, is it possible to manually fine-tune the vertical position, so that the figure seems optically aligned with the surrounding text? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

How to get bolder and larger item symbol?
by Marcin Borkowski 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

I'd like to have the number (and dot) in an "itemize" in boldface and larger (say, \bf\tfa). What do I do? \startitemize[n][symstyle=bold] didn't work. Why? TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Numbering subformulas
by Otared Kavian 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hi Aditya, It seems that numbering subformulas as described in your « My Way » magazine entitled « Using \startalign » does not work with mkiv. The following minimal example taken from page 6 of the above mentioned manual, does not result in what is described there: \starttext \placesubformula \startformula \startalign \NC a_1 x + b_1 y \NC = c_1 \NR[eq:c][c] \NC a_2 x + b_2 y \NC = c_2 \NR[eq:d][d] \stopalign \stopformula (\in[eq:c]) and (\in[eq:d]) form a linear system of equations. \stoptext Is this a known bug? Thanks in advance: OK

Index and Publications suddenly remain empty???
by Sander Maijers 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Dear ConTeXt users, I am bothered by this seemingly simple problem that suddenly occurred these days, while the same TeX code produced the Index and Publications chapters properly when compiling the document last May. I use the latest stable version (from May 2012) of ConTeXt on a recent Linux with TeXLive 2012 and bibtex 0.99d. The PATH is correct. The bad PDF: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… The environment: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… The text source files for the Publications and Index chapters: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… All files: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… I have been trying to solve this this evening and finally I decided to move from ConTeXt stable to the beta version, but now I cannot get *any* PDF output anymore ... Can anyone spot problems with the TeX source code that prevent the document compilation, with whichever version of ConTexT??? Kind regards, Sander Maijers

There is a bug with format() as redefined in m-graph.mkiv 1e10 and 1e-10 truncate the tailing 0. (I have not been able to fix the code...) Alan Minimal example: \usemodule [graph] \starttext \startMPpage label(format("@g","1e-10"),(0, 0)) ; label(format("@g","1e+10"),(2cm, 0)) ; label(format("@g","1e-12"),(0, -.5cm)) ; label(format("@g","1e+12"),(2cm,-.5cm)) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext

Using a search engine.
by Andre Caldas 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Once, I've read about someone who, a long time ago, found it really difficult to look for pages related to LaTeX on the internet. He used to get a lot of "fetish" related pages!!! Since "context" is a very common word, I'd like to know from ConTeXt users... How do you look for "ConTeXt" stuff using search engines? Cheers, André Caldas.
