Figure captions in margin
by Devendra Ghate 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

I am using a layout with wide right margin. For floats that are \textwidth wide, I can place captions in the margin using**\setupcaption[location=rightmargin,high/low]. However, for figures that are (*\textwidth+\marginwidth+\margindistance*) wide, I would like to *place the caption in the margin below the figure*. I have tried spacebefore=\vskip but it doesn't seem to do anything. Another option was to use default caption location (below the figure) and add \hspace before figure placement. None of these work as I am not able to make spacebefore do anything. *MWE* \setuplayout[width=5cm, height=13cm,rightmargin=5cm] \setupexternalfigures[option=empty] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] % \setupcaption [figure] [width=5cm, location={rightmargin,low}, spacebefore=big] %\setupcaption %[figure] %[width=5cm] \starttext \showframe \placefigure{A small but important caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=10cm]} \stoptext

t-letter
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi Wolfgang et.al., once again I struggle with your fine letter module. For my job application setup (that worked a year before) I already gave up, but I need my invoices working. Did you recently change anything WRT subject line? It doesn’t show up any more. (Latest ConTeXt MkIV beta in standalone.) This used to work: % Subject and date on the same line, date below logo \defineletterelement[section][subject][fiee]% {\bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR \bTD[width=\dimexpr169mm-\backspace\relax]\correspondenceparameter{subject}\eTD \bTD{\tf\correspondenceparameter{date}}\eTD %\bTD{\tf 2011-11-14}\eTD \eTR \eTABLE} \setuplettersection[subject][alternative=fiee] \startletter[subject={Invoice 1}] ... \stopletter (Yes, this isn’t a working minimal example. Perhaps you can tell me you changed this or that - otherwise I must dig deeper...)

t-filter for LilyPond enhancements
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi Aditya et.al., I'm using t-filter with LilyPond for my songbooklets like this: ----- \def\readPDFfile#1{\externalfigure[#1]} \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter[lilypond] [continue=yes, readcommand=\readPDFfile, directory=lilytemp/, output={\externalfilterbasefile.pdf}, filtercommand={lilypond -dbackend=eps -dinclude-eps-fonts -dno-gs-load-fonts -o"lilytemp/\externalfilterbasefile" "\externalfilterinputfile"}] ----- Now, I'd like my lilypond sections/buffers to have different names than just numbers; I'd prefer some unique IDs or even manually set names to be able to re-order them without the need of re-compiling. I.e. if I change the order of songs in my songbook, all LilyPond snippets must get recalculated, even if they didn’t change. Sorry if that’s mentioned in t-filter’s docs - I didn’t see it. There are some more enhancements that I’d like to implement, e.g. checking the resulting files if there are several pages or using single notelines to let ConTeXt do the page breaking (like lilypond-book does with LaTeX). I guess that would be as simple as replacing my \readPDFfile with some Lua code - can you give me a hint how to do that?

Floats and footnotes don't obey focus=standard
by Marco Patzer 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi, PDF links to floats and footnotes change the zoom setting to fit height even though focus=standard is set. Links to chapters/sections behave as expected. Example: \setupinteraction [state=start,focus=standard] \starttext \in{figure}[foo] \startplacefigure [reference=foo] \stopplacefigure Footnote \startfootnote Footnote \stopfootnote \stoptext This issue was raised by devendra on tex.se¹.

What was the latest version working with win2k? Eeeeem. Honestly, I don't know which version was the last one. You are the first one complaining about Windows 2000, but if ConTeXt Minimals worked for you until recently then probably LuaTeX 0.72.0 was the last one that worked. Taco keeps an archive of windows binaries on http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/frs/ (click on package name to get the list of older releases) but they were compiled on a different compiler, so you need to check yourself whether they work for you or not. In case not, my best bet for downloading it would be fetching luatex.dll from an arbitrary commit from http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/win32/ Most probably the latest binary is still 0.72.0 in which case you can also fetch it from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/luatex.win32.tar.xz (I'm also working on an archive of W32TeX binaries, but it's not there yet.)

Mixing Body and Math Fonts
by Troy Henderson 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

I normally use \setupbodyfont[lucida] to use Lucida as my body AND math font. I also use \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Myriad Pro] to use Myriad Pro as my body font (when no math is used). I would like to, however, now mix these so that I can use Lucida for my math and Myriad Pro everywhere else. What is the best way to accomplish this? Thanks, Troy Henderson

setupformulas reset not working
by Zenlima 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, In my work I have standalone formulas and formulas inside a paragraph (see idea of module pararef). For standalone formulas the default settings are ok. But for the formuals inside the paragraphs I need to change the afer- and beforespaces. So I have to change the spaces before and after a formula often. Unlucky \startformula[spacebefore=...,spaceafter=...] is not working. So I try to achieve it via the "big" setup function: \setupformulas[spacebefore=...,spaceafter=...] - not nice but it works (except that "strange" space \formulaparameter). But now after that paragraph I want to reset the spaces of setupformulas. In the file strc-math.mkiv says that the spaces are defined like this: ... c!spacebefore=\v!big, \c!spaceafter=\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore, ... So I tried after \stopformula to reset the spaces with: \setupformulas[spacebefore=\v!big,spaceafter=\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore] and \setupformulas[spacebefore=\big,spaceafter=\formulaparameter\spacebefore] but both failed. Is there any possibility to reset the spaces of setupformulas? And what kind of space is \formulaparameter? H.

Bug in label and setuphead
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, (This is based on a question on tex.se: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/94170/323) If a new head is defined based on an existing head, it still uses the label of the previous head. \definehead[whatever][chapter] \setuplabeltext[en][whatever=Whatever~] \setuplabeltext[en][chapter=Chapter~] \starttext \whatever{Animals} \chapter{Plants} \stoptext Uses the label Chapter for both heads. This is because the .tuc file contains label=chapter for both elements. utilitydata_structures_lists.collected={ { ["metadata"]=1, ["numberdata"]=3, ["references"]={ ["block"]="bodypart", ["internal"]=1, ["realpage"]=1, ["section"]=1, }, ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="chapter", ["title"]="Animals", }, }, { ["metadata"]=4, ["numberdata"]=6, ["references"]={ ["block"]="bodypart", ["internal"]=2, ["realpage"]=2, ["section"]=2, }, ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="chapter", ["title"]="Plants", }, }, } Adding \setuphead[whatever][label=whatever] does not change anything. This looks like a bug to me. Otherwise, what is the right way of changing the label of a section head? Aditya

MdSymbol as Math Font
by Troy Henderson 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

I would like to use the OTF versions of MdSymbol located at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/mdsymbol/otf as my math font. I have dropped the 3 OTF files into my user's font directory and run > mtxrun --script fonts --reload Also, I get the following output after executing the list command. > mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=MdSymbol* mdsymbol mdsymbolbold MdSymbol-Bold.otf mdsymbolbold mdsymbolbold MdSymbol-Bold.otf mdsymbollight mdsymbollight MdSymbol-Light.otf mdsymbolnormal mdsymbolregular MdSymbol-Regular.otf mdsymbolregular mdsymbolregular MdSymbol-Regular.otf mdsymbolsemibold mdsymbolsemibold MdSymbol-Semibold.otf So it seems that ConTeXt is finding my fonts; however, when I set \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmathfont[MdSymbol] in my ConTeXt document and run `context foo.tex`, I get resolvers > modules > loaded: 'simplefonts' (/usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.tex loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts <+ /usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua>) fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' {/usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map}{/usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'mdsymbol' backend > xmp > using file '/usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1 )</usr/local/texlive/current/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmath-regular.otf></usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/otf/myriadpro/MyriadPro-Regular.otf> The trouble seems to be the line fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'mdsymbol' which I guess is keeping the MdSymbol OTFs from being loaded, but I have no idea how to fix this. I would appreciate any help that can be provided. Thanks, Troy Henderson
