\definedescription wrapping
by Kip Warner 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hey list, I'd like the description title to not wrap part way through its title. I'm using the following definition: \definedescription[definition] [location=top, alternative=top, headcolor=colour_head, headstyle=boldslanted] But if I use it with something like... \startdefinition[definition:Corporate Personhood]{Corporate Personhood} ... \stopdefinition It ends up typesetting: Corporate Per- sonhood -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Wrong alignment of combination objects in current beta
by Marco 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

The alignment of the elements in a combination is wrong with the current beta. All elements are left aligned, in beta 2011.11.29 they were centred. Example: \useMPlibrary [dum] \starttext \startcombination [2*2] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1cm]}{alpha} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]}{beta} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm]}{gamma} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]}{delta} \stopcombination \stoptext Marco

non-standard breaks as non-stan- dard Is there a way to tell context to break the word at the hyphen that already exists?

Strange error message
by Otared Kavian 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hi all, Has anyone encountered the following situation with the betas from last January until today? I have a document some 100 pages (each page being an \input), which is correctly typeset with ConTeXt version 2011.11.29 mkiv, but gives me the following error with the recent mkiv betas: the message is <to be read again> } <inserted text> ...onstructionparameter \c!level } \setevalue {\??constructio... \define_construction ... \everydefineconstruction \let \currentconstruction ... <inserted text> ...r =\v!description ,\c!level =1] \else \defineconstruction ... \define_description ...he \everydefinedescription \let \currentdescription \... <to be read again> \startpacked … In order to localize the error I have tried to add little by little my \input files, and everything works when I have about 20 pages… I am reporting this issue just for debugging reasons, since for the real project I still use the 2011.11.29 version. Indeed I should apologize since I am not able to submit a minimal example, my project itself being somewhat complex (at least from my perspective… not for a guru!). Also, I should say that in recent previous betas the error message was different, but I have not anymore those versions to report what the exact message was. Thanks for any insight: OK

I tried to adapt this (see below), but I'm not sure how to invoke this typescript. There are \usetypescript \setupbodyfont and \setmainfont from the simplefonts module, none of which seem to do what I want... Could you enlighten me?

Broken Nightly 2012.03.10
by Kip Warner 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Hey list, The following minimal compiles, but I don't believe it is correct. The footnote ordinal does not appear properly in the body text and the footnote text itself is not correct either. \definedescription[definition] [location=top, alternative=top, command=\hskip-1cm, margin=1cm] \starttext \startdefinition[definition:Something]{Something} Stuff and more stuff.\footnote{Some footnote text.} \stopdefinition \stoptext -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

10 Mar '12

Dear community, with beta from today, \definelinenote[Lnote] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{50}{hi\Lnote{there}\par} \stoptext only refers to the first line. I think this is a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

bibtex doesnt find stylefiles in TEXMFHOME on context standalone
by Eidenbenz Michael 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

hello list, i recently installed the lastest beta (2012.03.05) as standalone alongside TexLive with the latest stable version (2011.05.18) i use some custom stylefiles ( bst and bibl) for bibtex that are placed in my TEXMFHOME Directory that is $HOME/Library/texmf on osx. now context beta finds all the files in my TEXMFHOME but bibtex doesnt. i guess this has to do something to do with kpathsea etc. but i'm very new to TeX and am a little bit lost here. can sombody guide me in the right direction how to solve this. i did run mktexlsr but this doesnt helped. thanks michael

linenotes new syntax?
by Pablo Rodríguez 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Two betas ago (as far as I can rembember), this worked right: \definelinenote[significa] \setupnote[significa][rule=off,paragraph=yes,numbercommand=,inbetween=\quad] \setupdescriptions[significa][display=yes,location=serried,distance=.5em] \starttext \startlinenumbering En un lugar\significa{lugar: place} de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre\significa{nombre: name} no quiero\significa{querer: want} acordarme\significa{acordarse: remember}... \stoplinenumbering \stoptext With beta from 05032012, the following has changed: -Line notes are numbered as footnotes, in a series and not by line number they refer to. -distance and inbetween don't seem to work anymore. -Is there not way to get number in notes as \tf and not as \high? -Paragraph doesn't work, since note numbers at the beginning of the line hang. I guess this might have changed, but I don't know where to look. Could anyone be so kind to help? Many thanks, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
