\em after font fallbacks
by S Barmeier 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

My main font is Japanese and I'm falling back on a different font for Latin characters. The \it switch works fine, but \em renders the Japanese font (e.g. page numbers in the index). Is there a way to have \em use the italic (of the fallback font)? Thanks, Severin

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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Multiple font fallbacks
by S Barmeier 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

I tried \definefontfallback[fallback1] \definefontfallback[fallback2] and then \definefontsynonym[][][fallbacks={fallback1,fallback2}] and failed. What is the correct syntax? Thank you, Severin

Text background broken frame
by Kip Warner 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hey list, The following minimal seems to identify a problem with making the frame border's of text backgrounds vanish. \definetextbackground[ExampleFrame] [frame=on] \definetyping [Example] [before=\startExampleFrame, after=\stopExampleFrame] % To move footnotes inside of text boxes to the bottom of the page with % the rest of the footnotes. When uncommented, kills frame... \kindofpagetextareas\plusone \starttext \startExample Some text \stopExample \stoptext If you comment out the \kindofpagetextareas\plusone line, it works fine. Is this the expected behaviour? I am using it at the suggestion of Hans to help mitigate a problem with footnotes inside of text boxes. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111222.082458.06567594.en.html I am using ConTeXt version 2012.03.30 16:16. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Severin

Using comma character inside chemical
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hello all, Is there a way to use comma character or semicolon character inside the chemical formula? Comma character is used as a delimiter of individual items in the formula. When is there command for example \lettertilde, is there something like "\lettercomma (\charcomma)", "\lettersemicolon (\charcomma)" and others nonalphanumerics characters (which would be used inside chemical or mathematical environment)? Emergency, we can solve as follows: \unexpanded\def\charcomma{,} \chemical{0\charcomma5\cdot, etc.} Is there is a more elegant solution? Thanx Jaroslav

Re: [NTG-context] Strange errors on using setupheader
by Malte Stien 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi Wolfgang, Thank you so much for that. It did work. And yes, I was wondering whether there was a more elegant way of doing this. This way of setting and using variables does not seem to be all that well documented; it's not in the ConTeXt Manual, presumably because it is new, right? I think I mostly worked it out, though, except for: What does this line mean: set=\texsetup{titlepage} Thank you again, Malte.

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
