\setuphead and testpage
by Wolfgang Schuster 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi Hans, can you add a testpage option to \setuphead? %\setuphead[section][testpage=4] \setuphead[section][before={\testpage[4]\blank[2*big]}] \starttext \section{First} \dorecurse{36}{Line \recurselevel\par} \section{Second} \dorecurse{36}{Line \recurselevel\par} \stoptext Wolfgang

setupcaptions
by Meer, H. van der 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I want to make my figure captions both slanted and small, or bold and small,etc. The wiki has for setupcaptions: headstyle normal, bold, .. , small, .. style normal, bold, .. , small, .. I therefore expected to work the following setup: \setupcaptions[headstyle={slanted,small},style={bold,small}] \starttext \placefigure{A dummy figure}{\externalfigure[dummy]} Caption test. \stoptext But no, two seems too much. style={bold} does work and style={small} but style = {bold,small} does not. From the general principles of ConTeXt's parameter handling I would have expected this to work. Of course I could have used style={\bf\switchtobodyfont[small]}, but I would prefer to refrain from low level font commands when possible. I am right the setupcaptions should work with combined fontsettings, or is it my mistake? Hans van der Meer

seeindex: accents and such
by Andreas Mang 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Dear all, I have some minor problems with \seeindex It seems that it does not render accents properly nor is it possible to introduce commands. Is this an intended behavior, am I doing something wrong or is there a bug? Cheers, Andreas Minimal example: \setupregister[index] [ style={\bf\WORD}, balance=yes ] \starttext % seeindex does not render ssharp properly Wei{\ssharp}wurst\index{Wei{\ssharp}wurst}\seeindex{German sausage}{Wei{\ssharp}wurst} % same holds for accents M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier\index{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier}\seeindex{good beer}{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier} % switching font style {\sc Test}\index[Test]{\sc Test}\seeindex[Test]{Testing}{\sc Test} \completeindex \stoptext

bodyfont message
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

I get this message in the log because of font usage: fonts > bodyfont 70pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 84pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 56pt is defined (can better be done global) I am inclined to follow the suggestion, but I cannot think of the most correct way to do this. Someone willing to show it to me? Hans van der Meer

postponing broken?
by Alan BRASLAU 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello, In the latest beta, postponing seems to be broken (or changed). Minimal example: \starttext \input tufte (see \in{figure}[fig:cow].) \startpostponing [+0] \startplacefigure [location=here,reference={fig:cow}, title={A cow that does not break the paragraph}] \externalfigure [cow] [width=.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stoppostponing \input tufte \stoptext Explanation: In order to have figures placed near their first reference in the text, and to avoid the paragraph break that results from placefigure, I enclose it in between \startpostponing[+0]\stoppostponing. In the latest beta, all the figures (and their references) disappear. Using a slightly older version ConTeXt ver: 2012.06.28 10:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.6.28 int: english/english this works (but the figure in the minimal example above gets pushed to the following page?).

misprint in wiki
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

In the wiki under \setupexternalfigures one finds for the framing of the figure following in the table: "frames on off" Mark the 's' at the end of 'frames' I tested it and found it has to be 'frame' without the 's'. This is the same misprint as occurred in the earlier ConTeXt manual of 2001. Perhaps someone knowledageable about changing the wiki can verify this and will be so kind as to update the wiki.

Tagged PDF
by Wray, Paul 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hello all First of all I must say that I am a complete newbie to the TeX world. I am evaluating Context for generation of PDFs for educational use. We aim to produce PDFs that are accessible to screen reader users and for that reason we would like to create tagged PDFs. My initial experiments with tagged PDF have so far been unsuccessful. I am using ConTeXT standalone, (ConTeXT ver: 2012.07.07 MKIV fmt:2012.7.8 int: english/english ). I am using this tex file as a test input (have left in line breaks in case that is significant): \setupstructure[state=start] \starttext \startbodymatter \startchapter[title=Chapter 1] The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 2] Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of the party. \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \stoptext When I open the resulting PDF in Adobe Acrobat 10.0.3 and show the tags navigation pane, it says "No tags available". Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

unknown library lmodern
by Meer, H. van der 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

I spot in the log the following message: fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'lmodern' Does this point to a problem? In good faith I believe I have a fairly standard installation. And in /usr/local/texlive/2012 the TeXlive distribution. Neither adding \setupbodyfont[modern,14pt] nor omitting all \setupbodyfont's changes this. Hans van der Meer
