way setting does not work in \setupcaptions
by Marco Patzer 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

Hi, the `way` setting cannot be applied globally to all floats using `\setupcaptions`. For the `prefix` value it works. Can this be fixed? \setupblackrules [width=4cm, height=1cm] %% prefix is applied, way is not %% \setupcaptions %% [prefix=no, %% way=bytext] %% prefix and way is applied \setupcaption [figure, table] [prefix=no, way=bytext] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{% \startchapter [title=Chapter] \dorecurse{2}{% \startplacefigure \blackrule \stopplacefigure \startplacetable \blackrule \stopplacetable} \stopchapter} \stoptext Marco

Help with Long Titles
by Malte Stien 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hello, I am using a the startsetups mechanism that defines a title page in my environment file. That way anyone creating a document in my organisation can create a new document and get a consistent look of the title page. There is one problem with this: On occasions I get very long document titles and then the title extends over the left-hand edge of the page. I would like to incorporate a new line into the document title; I'd even be happy to do that manually, ie. it does not have to be automatic. There are two problems here: 1. I had not had any success with putting a newline into the title; it will need to be not where the titlepage is defined but where it is used (see below). I have tried \par and \\ and none of them work. 2. Assuming I found a way to do this, I would need to also find a way of reducing the \blank[170mm] by the amount that the second line of the title takes up to render the information down the bottom in roughly the same place. If push comes to shove, I could create a second titlepage setup for two-line titles, but I much rather not. Is there a solution to that? Is there maybe a way to position the information down the bottom absolute? Here is minimal example (or something very close to that): % The title page \startsetups titlepage \startstandardmakeup[style=sans] \blank[50mm] \rightaligned{\bfd\getvariable{titlepage}{project}} \textrule \rightaligned{\tfc\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{title}}} \blank[170mm] \starttabulate[|plf{\tfa}|prf{\tfa}|] \NC\tfa\copyright\thinspace Pearson Pty Ltd \NC \getvariable{titlepage}{author} \NC\NR \TB[small] \NC \color[darkgray]{Commercial in Confidence} \NC \color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{version}} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \tfx Uncontrolled copy if printed. \stopstandardmakeup \stopsetups % ...and this is how it is being used \starttext \setvariables [titlepage] [set=\texsetup{titlepage}, project={Pearson}, title={This document title is very long, so I'd like to \par break it into two lines}, author={Tony Mueller}, version={Version 1.0.0}] \stoptext Thank you very much for all the help I have received so far. Regards, Malte.

Table Numbering
by Malte Stien 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hello, I have just up just upgraded from version 2012.03.30 to the latest beta. Suddenly none of my tables are named chapter.number anymore, eg. Table 1.3 for the third table in Chapter 1, but just 3. That is, the chapter number is no longer prepended. Has something changed there? How can I enable the old behaviour again? Thank you, Malte. PS: The latest stable seems to still be 2011.05.18; any reason why that does not get updated?

ConTeXt unofficial test suite stub
by Marco Pessotto 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hello there! TL;DR: https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite A week ago I had a conversation with mpfusion and another user over IRC about the ConTeXt test suite. mpfusion had a tarball with some test and an elaborate machinery to see if the testfiles compile. He kindly provided the tarball, and I took the liberty to do it my way (I didn't hear back from him, I assume he's working on his solution), using the testfiles and rewriting the code. My solution is quite simple, is written in perl (300 lines all included) and probably is not portable to non-unix machines. It uses imagemagick and pdftoppm to raster the PDF, and it's resonably fast (with a trick to speed up the difference parsing). It produces an ascii table like this: ./run-test.pl --run Using /usr/local/bin/context mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.52 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2012.05.30 11:26 ................. | File name | Success | Differs Avg | Worst value | Pages | Time | | arrows-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | catcodes-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | columnsets-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 10 | 4 | | date-002 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | dates-001 | OK | 0.605634 | 0.605634 | 1 | 2 | | dates-002 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 3 | | hsv-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 8 | 5 | | inclusion | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | metapost-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | metapost-002 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | mixed-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 2 | 2 | | narrower-bidi-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 4 | 2 | | ppchtex-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | ppchtex-005 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | ppchtex-006 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | spot-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 3 | | tables-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 1 | It leaves the visual diffs as png images under diffs/ I'd like to know if there is some interest in this thing, as (obviously) the test suit is not really populated to have any kind of value. There is also room for improvement (like custom arguments to the compilation). Happy euroTeXt to the lucky partecipants. Enjoy! Best wishes -- Marco

Hi all, this works in TL but not minimals: ································································· \definefontfeature[textfigures] [onum=yes] \definefontfeature[texligatures] [tlig=yes] \starttext \addff{textfigures} 1234567890 \addff{texligatures} foo---bar \stoptext ································································· With Context as of today and Luatex from minimals, I get lining figures and a triple dash. Did I miss something? Philipp
