setupbars
by Meer, H. van der 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

This gives an error: \starttext \setupbars[rulethickness=4pt] \stoptext ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: malformed number near '4pt'. ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.04 23:48 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.6 int: english/english Elsewhere this is ok, as for example in: \framed[rulethickness=4pt]{} Strangely in node-rul.mkiv I see: \c!rulethickness=2.5 whereas in pack-rul.mkiv: \c!rulethickness=\linewidth I am inclined to spot an error here, or at least an inconsistency in the API.

two more bugs in latest
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hi all, sorry for bringing the bad news all the time... There are two more bugs in the latest beta which I just stumbled upon: userpage=bysection does not work, pdf bookmarks are not produced. Example: \setupuserpagenumber [state=start,way=bysection] \setupfootertexts [{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} -- \userpagenumber] \setuphead [section] [page=yes] \setupinteraction [state=start] \placebookmarks [section] [all] \starttext \startsection [title=First Section] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par} \stopsection \startsection [title=Second Section] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par} \stopsection \stoptext Gives expected results with 2012.06.30 12:32, but not with 2012.07.10 00:56. All best Thomas

Table of Contents & Section Numbering
by Malte Harder 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Dear all, I'm quite new to ConTeXt and I'm just trying to set up a template for my first project. I'm using MkIV and the ConTeXt Standalone nightlies. I've encountered the problem that I was not able to create a table of contents (neither \placelist,\placecontents, with setuplist or without worked). I do not get any error, but there is also no list generated. I think, I tried every hint I found on this list. At that point I thought it might be a problem with the version I'm using and upgraded to the latest beta. However the problem remains. I'm using the project features, frontmater/backmatter and custom headers, but also with everything turned off the placelist does not work? Does anybody know what the problem could be? Another problem, which occured only with the latest nightlies, is that Chapters, Sections and Subsesctions all apparently share the same counter and simply count up from 1, so the first section has number 2 instead of 1.1 and so on. Is this a temporary bug or did something change that needs specific setup? Thanks in advance! Malte

\subsection produces the wrong result
by Hongwen Qiu 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

With ConTeXt version: 2012.07.10 00:56, the following minimal example produces the wrong result: \starttext \section{Section} \subsection{Subsection} % This generates a section other than a subsection \stoptext

Page Backgrounds
by Kip Warner 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hey list, On the cover page of my book I'd like just an image displayed and another image used as the background for every other page in the book. So I put this in my environment, % Cover image... \definelayer [CoverImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] \setlayer [CoverImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Cover.jpg] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer % Regular background image... \definelayer [BackgroundImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight, repeat=yes] \setlayer [BackgroundImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Background.png] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer , the following in the book's first page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] , and the following on second page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage] . But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank white background. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Incorrect spacing in math
by Otared Kavian 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi Hans, In mkiv, the spacing of an index in the integral sign, in displayed math, is incorrect since a few weeks: for instance \starttext \startformula \int_{\Omega}f(x)dx = \int_{0}^\infty g(t)dt \stopformula \stoptext gives an Omega which is too far away from the integral sign. (Using ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.08 20:02 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.8 int: english/english). In mkii there is no bug in this regard. Is there a quick fix for this? In some of my documents I must use mkiv and the appearance of this bug is a little bit annoying… (I already reported this bug in June). Best regards: OK

new beta 2012.07.09 22:35 failing
by Meer, H. van der 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

This is beta: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.09 22:35 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.9 int: english/english It fails me with (see below). I am fairly sure now this must be an error seeing the minimal example provided. Here is the most minimal example I could concoct: \setuphead[chapter][header=high] \starttext \chapter{c-one} \stoptext structure > sectioning > @ level 1 : 1 -> c-one ! Extra \else. system > tex > error on line 3 in file practicum.tex: Extra ... 1 \setuphead[chapter][header=high] 2 \starttext 3 >> \chapter{c-one} 4 \stoptext 5 6 \def\edition{2012} % the year of production 7 8 \disablemode[concept] % concept/final 9 10 \disablemode[docent] % typeset teacher info 11 12 \input setup % parameter settings 13 \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \strc_sectioning_handle ...ioning_after_yes \else \ifconditional \c_strc_sec... l.3 \chapter{c-one} I guess the problem is signalled in strc-sec.mkiv where strc_sectioning_after_yes occurs in lines 780, 802 and 943, the first two seem the most likely candidates. I do not see at first hand a wrong \if\else\fi count there. Maybe the culprit hides elsewhere. Hans van der Meer

imposition broken again
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

With at least today’s and yesterday’s beta I can’t get no satisfaction WRT imposition. Before, only 2UP was broken, and I got a workaround. Now, every schema that I tried doesn’t do anything. Was there another syntax change? Of course I ran context with --arrange \setuppapersize [A7][A3,landscape] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=footer] \setuplayout [margin=0pt,width=fit] \setupbackgrounds [text][text][background=screen,backgroundscreen=0.7] \setupcolors [state=start] \setuplayout [location=middle,marking=on] %\setuppaper[nx=4,ny=2] \setuparranging [2UP] %[2*2*4,doublesided] \def\Style{[2UP]} %{[2*2*4,doublesided]} \startbuffer[Fakepage] \strut \blank[force] \midaligned{\Style} \vfill \midaligned{This is page \recurselevel} \vfill \stopbuffer \setupheadertexts[\CONTEXT] \starttext % \showframe \dorecurse{16}{\getbuffer[Fakepage]\page} \stoptext Grüßlinge, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

beta
by Hans Hagen 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi, In the process of mkiv-ing a new beta has been uploaded. This time the rendering of sections has been dealt with. New is that one can use 'setups' for rendering. This mechanism is still somewhat experimental (and might get improved) but the idea is given below: \starttext \section{test} \unexpanded\def\whatever#1#2{[#1][#2]} \setuphead[section][command=\whatever] % traditional \section{test} \defineheadplacement[whatever]#1#2{(#1)(#2)} % traditional \setuphead[section][command=,alternative=whatever] \section{test} \defineheadalternative % new [whatever] [alternative=vertical, renderingsetup=whatever] \startsetups[whatever] /\headnumbercontent/\headtextcontent/ \stopsetups \setuphead[section][command=,alternative=whatever] \section{test} \stoptext There are some helpers. These fetch content: \headnumbercontent \headtextcontent These are dimensions: \headwidth \headtextwidth \headnumberdistance \headnumberwidth This is for local spacing setup: \headsetupspacing These are conditionals \headshownumber \headisdisplay Maybe these names will change. Setups are also used in constructions (the building blocks for descriptions, enumerations, notes etc) but there some more work is needed. The code is somewhat faster, but that will probably go unnoticed unless one has documents with hundreds of heads.

extra \fi
by Meer, H. van der 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Is the following a known issue with this beta? When a float block moves the error appears: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.04 23:48 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.6 int: english/english floatblocks > 1 placed floatblocks > 1 saved pages > flushing realpage 5, userpage 1 floatblocks > 1 moved floatblocks > 2 moved ! Extra \fi. A short example is difficult to procure, but adding one line of text, inducing the float to move, triggers the error. Hans van der Meer
