Math & other issues for TL 2012
by Mojca Miklavec 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Hello, With TL freeze that is probably going to happen tomorrow (plus a few days of grace period): what is the current state of problems with math fonts, and possibly any other issues (apart from the known crash on mipsel & armel)? Is there anything else that doesn't work in minimals, but should be high on priority list to fix? Mojca

placecontent after section command
by Jan Pohanka 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Hello, This example works as expected \starttext \subject{Contents} \placecontent \section{One} \section{Two} \stoptext but when I replace \subject with \section like this \starttext \section{Contents} \placecontent \section{One} \section{Two} \stoptext the contents are not printed out... This behavior is same in MKII and MKIV. regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Alignment in \framed
by Marcin Borkowski 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Hi, I'd like to have a big \framed with a small text, positioned at the bottom left corner. I tried something like this: \starttext \framed[width=100mm,height=100mm,align={bottom,left}]{text} \stoptext but "text" appears in the exact opposite corner. What am I doing wrong? TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

mtx-epub.lua
by Andy Thomas 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Hello all, while working on my ebook, I found the following issues in mtx-epub.lua. Once a successful run is done, there is no need to try the other zippers. It also gives error messages, although everything is already done. Fix is attached. Then, I got confused about the error messages appearing 3 times and found an issue in texlua of TL2011 (beta-0.70.1-2011062107) as well as the newest standalone (beta-0.70.2-2012052309). Consider the following example: print(os.execute("abcxyz")) This gives in Lua 5.2: sh: abcxyz: command not found nil exit 127 But in texlua it does: sh: abcxyz: command not found 32512 This breaks the if conditional which becomes true, although there is no abcxyz command. If there are if statements such as this one in other places, they would not work as intended either. Andy 274,279c274,281 < if os.execute(format(zipper.uncompressed,epubfile,"mimetype")) then < os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,"META-INF")) < os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,"OPS")) < done = zipper.name < else < list[#list+1] = zipper.name --- > if not done then > if os.execute(format(zipper.uncompressed,epubfile,"mimetype")) then > os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,"META-INF")) > os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,"OPS")) > done = zipper.name > else > list[#list+1] = zipper.name > end

setupcaptions stopper and separator
by Andy Thomas 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi all, while trying to figure out all the functions that setupcaptions has, I stumbled trying to make stopper and separator work. MnWE: \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \section{One} \setupcaptions [figure] [way=bysection,prefixsegments=section,separator={A},stopper={B},suffix={C}] \startplacefigure[title={A rectangle with a caption. Not very interesting.},reference=fig1] \externalfigure[dummy][width=0.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \in{Figure}[fig1] \stoptext As far as I understand it, the separator changes the dot between the section and the figure number and the stopper is placed right after the figure number and used in references as well (which is different from suffix). Is that correct? Andy

Multiple layers question
by Marcin Borkowski 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi, I'd like to put a few things, placed absolutely on the page. I thought that layers are a good tool, but I can't make them do what I want. Assume that I want to have "Some text" near the top of the page and a huge "X" centered. I did this: \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bkg] \definelayer[bkg][x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setlayer[bkg] {\framed[frame=off,width=\paperwidth,height=50mm] {\switchtobodyfont[10mm]\tt Some text}} \setlayer[bkg] {\framed[frame=off,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] {\switchtobodyfont[240mm]\tt X}} \starttext \null \stoptext but only one layer appears (the "Some text" one). What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do it? TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

transluency/transparency
by Jan Pohanka 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hello, is it possible to somehow set transluency or transparency of several objects? The example should clarify, what I need: I have a template for company documents, which has some text, lines and graphics (external pdf or png) in its footer. Now I want to make the header be less visible than the rest of the page. Surely I can set a color of the text to gray and edit the image, but is there some other way? best regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

ebook from project: hyphenation lost
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Ahoi, I never managed to get a proper eBook from a project, the content was mostly missing, a whole while even \setupbackend[export=yes] led to an error. At least that I don’t get an error any more, I’ll try to debug the missing content later. One bug I can nail down is: As soon as I add \setupbackend[export=yes] to my environment, all hyphens are lost! I.e. hyphenation takes place, but there’s no hyphen (an no space left for it). That doesn’t happen in a single document, so I can’t provide a minimal example. (Yesterday’s beta MkIV on OSX-Intel) Greetlings, Hraban
