Q about hangaround commands
by Vladimir Lomov 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi. I'm trying to figure out the limitation of \start/stophangaround commands. 1. Is it correct that currently the figure could be placed only on left? If so is it easy to extend the command to allow placing figure at right side? 2. Is there way to increase/decrease the space between the text and image? 3. Is it correct that hangaround command is tricky hack that change normal flow? I prepare simple example (it is attached). 1) is obvious from the example (default behavior I assume). 3): I got the '2.' not on left side as 1) and 3) but on left side of text block right after image. Another example if 3): if I put empty line between \starthangaround and \input (see the file) then there would be mess. P.S. I tried the example with MkIV only. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov

TeXlive 2012 and letter module
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi followers of ConTeXt, does something in the lettermodule in the texlive version and the minimal version of ConTeXt has changed, as both no longer recognize the \useletterextension[addrentry,label] \useaddressfile[addrfile] lines and complain about an unknown command, if yes, what would be the way to fix this, or is this functionallity finally droped? Greetings Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz

Throwing an error on missing image with \externalfigure
by Tobias Mueller 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hi :-) I'd like ConTeXt to raise an error if it can't find an image when using \externalfigure. I really don't want to check a potentially big document for missing images manually and while I could grep the log myself in an additional post processing step, I really want ConTeXt to do raise the error for me, not a potentially broken script written by me. I've seen the other thread: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/059485.html but there is no answer there. I also expected a similar behaviour to "\input" which fails on a non existing file. My thinking was that there is either a switch for "context", i.e. like "-Werror" or a way to set context up from within the document, i.e. by telling it to be in a "final" mode. So my question is: How can I make ConTeXt raise an error on a non found image? Cheers, Tobi

Added licensing information to PDF
by Tobias Mueller 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Hi :-) I am trying to switch from LaTeX to ConTeXt and I'd like to add licensing information to the generated PDF, just like what the "hyperxmp" package would do for LaTeX. Something like this: \setupinteraction[ title={My Title}, author={Tobias Mueller}, keyword={foo bar baz}, pdfcopyright={This work is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 3.0 Germany License.}, pdflicenseurl={http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/de/} ] \starttext Hello, World! \stoptext Thanks!

Hi, Is it possible today with mkiv, to automatically typeset one text (german) on the left column and the translation (french) on the right column (perhaps with streams)? And if yes, how? TIA for any help! -- Peter

t-degrade.tex
by Peter Münster 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi, Does it make sense, to port http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-degrade to mkiv, or is there already an existing solution in ConTeXt to downsample jpeg-images on the fly? TIA for any hints, -- Peter

inheritance of footnotes
by Daniel Schopper 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

dear list, until some months ago it was possible to define/setup a series of notes and then use them as kind of interface, i.e. to let their copies inherit their setups yet be independent sets of notes – However now such copies seem to be get mereley added to the set of notes they are based upon. -- In the following minimal example none of the notes get printed when the "first" series of notes are not placed; on the other hand their respective "\placenotes"-commands are completely ignored. Thanks in advance! Daniel \definenote[first] \setupnote[first][location=text] \setupnotation[first][number=no] \definenote[second][first] \definenote[third][first] \starttext That’s my first par.\first{First note set} That’s my second par.\second{Second note set} That’s my third par.\third{Third noteset} \page %\placenotes[first]% > all notes get printed when this is not commented \placenotes[second] % > those are ignored \placenotes[third]% > those are ignored \stoptext I'm sure I' missing some new mechanism ... or do I have to set them up each one of them?!

footnote numbers turn red
by Martin 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

The footnote numbers turn red(ish) as soon as \setupinteraction is present. Is that intended? thanks for replies! Martin with ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.21 16:50 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.21 example: \setupinteraction[state=start,color=darkblue,style=\tf] \starttext some text\footnote{a footnote} \stoptext
