Cross-document referencing not working!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 05 May '12

05 May '12

Hi ConTeXt User's, I'm struggling with cross-document referencing, but can't get it working! When I for example use \useexternaldocument[tst][test][A test external] together with \from[tst] the test.pdf file is correctly opened in Acrobat Reader. But the \in{section}[tst::crossref] doesn't open the test.pdf file at all?! The jump to the 'crossref' section doesn't seem to work! Please take a look at the two included test files. I first compile test.tex followed by the compilation of crossref.tex. Currently I use: ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.25 14:16 MKIV fmt: 2012.2.7 int: english/english. Regards, Gerard Verhaag

colon in lucida math
by Meer, H. van der 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

I get the impression there is something wrong with typesetting math with the lucida setup in ConTeXt. I find that the \colon is not printed. Below is a minimal example. See the colon in the first formula that is absent in the second. Perhaps someone is willing to check if this is ConTeXt in general or my own setup in particular. In both cases I will be pleased with a remedy. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize [A6][A6] \starttext \start \setupbodyfont[lmodern] Using: \verbatim{\setupbodyfont[lmodern]}\par $K\colon\quad A\cdots Z$\par \stop \start \setupbodyfont[lucida] Using: \verbatim{\setupbodyfont[lucida]}\par $K\colon\quad A\cdots Z$\par \stop \stoptext

Integration of the ConTeXt-Wiki and the ConTeXt-Mailinglist
by Jan Heinen 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hello, in the wiki I have built links for every command to the archiv of the ConTeXt-Mailinglist: e.G. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/pagereference See at the bottom. It's not perfekt jet - but it helps to get more information to each command and to integrate the wiki and the mailinglist. What do you think about this and could it be improved? Maybe we should give ConTeXt-beginners this hint when they ask questions in the mailinglist - what do you think? Best wishes Jannis -- Better organization and integration of all ConTeXT-information: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:ConTeXt ............ All information arround ConTeXt http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands ........ Commands !!! new: "One-Click" from every command in the wiki to the rich resources of the ConTeXt-mailinglist

Figures alignment on grid
by Honza Hejzl 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hello ConTeXists, My questions are still without any response. I am not sure why, maybe they are not clearly explained. I have found two problems about figures: 1) It is impossible to achieve proper text wrapping around figure when the GRID is ON. I have tried more suggestions (see my source). 2) The second thing is there is no way how to change alignment in captions. \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[en] \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \definefloat[figure][figures] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setupcaption[figure][% align=left, %align=right, style=\ss, distance=2pt,before={\noindent}] \showgrid \starttext \input tufte %\movesidefloat[x=10pt,y=-40pt] %\movesidefloat[3*line] %\hangsidefloat[3] \placefigure[left]{sdf}{\externalfigure[none][height=3cm]} \input tufte \stoptext Any help appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] Page numbering in latest beta

Last update before was this morning around 10 a.m. CEST. >>> Any ideas or suggestions? The old numbering code had a side effect. Every time one changes settings the state of the counters needs to be synchronized and in fact a reset happened. Now, normally this is no big deal, as one sets up things at the beginning of a document. However, when mid document one wants to change the style, this reset becomes annoying. (The linenote bug reported a few days ago was a side effect of this.) So, now we don't reset any longer unless the 'start' key's value differs. As a consequence one needs to be explicit in some cases, like yours. By default, we number per text (we could change that if needed) but in the past the \setupuserpagenumber triggers a synchronization of the counter and therefore reset the number, so that obscured the fact. Now, you just need to set the 'way': \starttext \setupuserpagenumber[way=byblock] % can be default .... yes/no? \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[appendix] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startfrontmatter test \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter test \stopbodymatter \startappendices test \stopappendices \startbackmatter test \stopbackmatter \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I have some typescript problems. The output says fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'mytypescript' fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'Myface' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (third stage) In my environment file I have \usetypescriptfile[mytypescript] \usetypescript[MyIPAex] \setupbodyfont[Myface,rm,12pt] and the typescript file is in the same folder as the source files. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Severin

columnar footnotes
by Pablo Rodríguez 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

I'm trying to get a particular footnote series in columns. The body and other footnotes and line notes have no columns. Consulting the wiki, I thought this is the right code for it: \setupcolumns[n=2] \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][before=\stopcolumns, after=\startcolumns] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{a\footnote{b}\dict{c}} \stoptext But I get an error and the document doesn't compile. I don't know what is wrong here (although I realize that my mistake may be basic). Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Strange errors on using setupheader
by Malte Stien 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi again, After I had some issues with \externalfigure, Hans suggested to me that I use a newer version of ConTeXt. So, rather than using the latest current (which seems to be from May 2011) ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.6 int: english/english I am not using the latest beta ConTeXt ver: 2012.03.29 11:28 MKIV fmt: 2012.3.29 int: english/english However, as it turns out, the document I am working on is no longer processed without errors. I butchered my document to isolate the error and come up with a (close to) minimal example: % Use UTF encoding \enableregime[utf] % Set English as the language \language[en] % Select A4 as the paper size \setuppapersize[A4] % Setup the header... \setupheadertexts[chapter][section] \setupheader[leftwidth=.5\hsize, rightwidth=.4\hsize] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \chapter{Purpose and Scope} \section[]{Purpose} This document should be read in conjunction with bla bla bla... \stopfrontmatter \stoptext I get the following error when processing with the aforementioned version: <argument> doifelsemarking("\ascii ") \ctxcommand #1->\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1 } \page_layouts_process_element_single_limited ...i {\limitatetext {\getmarkin... \page_layouts_process_element_single_indeed ...#4} \fi \endgroup \page_layouts_process_element_single ...#1#2#3{#4} \fi <argument> ...\layoutelementparameter \c!lefttext \hss }\hskip -\makeupwidth... ... l.18 \chapter{Purpose and Scope} Strangely enough, all works well when I remove (or comment) the \setupheader line. Is there anything strange I am doing here? Should work, right? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you, Malte.

stretched hyphenated url
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Hi, I, personally, like the solution for hyphenated url (by stretching). Only a author of mine feels that it was too much (see attached, first line). Is there a way to adjust the degree of stretching? Steffen -------
