math: \text does not scale properly
by Andreas Mang 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi there, As Aditya mentioned in a former posting (*) that "\text{ ... }" should scale properly when used as super- or subscript, I have prepared a minimal example to demonstrate that it doesn't. In my document I have switched from "\text{ }" to "\normal", which works. Kind regards, Andreas ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.25 21:44 MKIV fmt: 2012.10.1 %% MINIMAL EXAMPLE \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext $f_{\text{text}_{\text{text}_{\text{text}}}}$ $f_{{\normal text}_{{\normal text}_{\normal text}}}$ \stoptext %% MINIMAL EXAMPLE (*) see "[NTG-context] punctuation vs font switch"

hi! I am a newer. I am studying the context. I think the context is very good. I had study the latex in past years. I have a question: there is a "null string line" above the \placelist, I don't want it. who can help me? \framed[background=frame_mp,frame=on,align=middle,width=80pt]{% \blank[-12pt] \placelist [section] [alternative=d, maxwidth=\hsize, width=\hsize, maxwidth=75pt, offset=0pt, criterium=all, align=meddle, style=\tfa] } thank you! ps.

interlinespace and whitespace different for footnotes
by Pablo Rodríguez 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi there, I have the following settings for a document. \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex] \setupwhitespace[medium] But I would like to have diferent values for interlinear space and between paragraphs. strc-not.mkvi shows that the after option from \setupnotation does the work with the space between paragraphs. But how can I set the interlinear space value for footnotes? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

using two columns on a poster (\setlayerframed)
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Oct '12

Hello, this is probably the most trivial question, but I'm still confused: how can I use two columns inside \setlayerframed? \startbuffer[abstract] \startcolumns[two] % doesn't help \input tufte \input tufte \stopcolumns \stopbuffer \definelayer[paper][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=paper] \setlayerframed[paper] [preset=lefttop,hoffset=.05\paperwidth,voffset=5cm] [width=0.9\paperwidth,align=normal,offset=5mm] {\getbuffer[abstract]} I would be grateful for any hints, Mojca

Serious problems with kerning in setlayerframed
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello, I have some serious issues with kerning in MKIV, so I'll probably have to end up with MKII after all. I wonder what is going on in the following example where framed completely distorts the kerning. \setuppagenumbering [location=] \definepapersize [poster] [width=36cm,height=55cm] \starttext \setupbackgrounds[page][background=paper] \definelayer[paper] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \startbuffer[title] \definedfont[Bold at 38pt] Kerning Screw Up \stopbuffer \setlayerframed[paper] [preset=lefttop,hoffset=.05\paperwidth,voffset=1cm] [width=0.9\paperwidth,align=middle,offset=4mm] {\getbuffer[title]} \definedfont[Bold at 38pt] No Kerning Screw Up \stoptext Mojca

Some odd behaviour I noticed in MkIV with respect to enumerations
by Shane Peelar 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello everyone, I was going through a tutorial to learn how to set up theorem-like environments in ConTeXt: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf and I noticed a few strange behaviours. I recognize that this tutorial was written for MkII ConTeXt, but after consulting the documentation in the latest ConTeXt manual and the wiki, I have determined that these features should still work. I'm looking at the "list" functionality of enumerations and descriptions. In MkII, you can do the following: \defineenumeration[blah][ ... list=listname, listtext={Text goes here}] and every time the enumeration is used, it'll be placed in the list you specify. The tutorial referenced above uses this to place a list of theorems with proper naming and numbering, as well as lemmas and other math things. In MkIV, I noticed that this functionality doesn't work, or at least not in the same way. I was not able to do: \placelist[enumeration:listname] for example. I was able to do \placelist[blah], however. After scouring this mailing list and consulting the source code, I haven't been able to find anything that would give me this functionality in MkIV. Was this intentional, or is there another way to get this functionality back? The other strangeness I noticed was the "separator" option in defineenumeration. Normally one could do: \defineenumeration[blah2][ ... separator=--] and things would work as they should, however this doesn't seem to work in MkIV. The last piece of functionality I noticed was not being able to set the number style in defineenumeration (which again works in MkII, tested this morning), like so: \defineenumeration[blah3][ numberstyle=bold] The wiki shows that these options should all be there, and they appear to be at least referenced in the source code, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to really give a good judgment of that. I noticed in one file "strc-des.mkiv" it says in a comment "lists and titles are experimental". Could anyone please help me out with these features? Thanks, Shane Peelar

TABLE: header with a thick bottom line

Hello, how to achieve the table header to have a thick bottom line? Here are my two attempts: ---- \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR[bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm]\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE Or even better: \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm,align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext ---- As you can see, in both cases all header cells are surrounded by a thick border; but only the bottom border should be.
