dejavu: inline math fraction spacing too tight?
by Alan BRASLAU 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Hello, Using the dejavu font, inline math fractions (e.g. $a/b$) look to me to be spaced too tightly. Below are some minimal examples: \setupbodyfont [dejavu,12pt] \starttext $a/b$ $1/2$ $π/3$ \stoptext Is this indeed the desired spacing? What do others think? Thanks. Alan

\setuptyping[lines=yes] bug in beta?
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Dear list, the following sample: \showframe \setuppapersize[S6] \setuptyping[option=TEX,lines=yes] \starttext \starttyping \startvariante[MRU]{{\em om} X}En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor.\stopvariante[MRU] \stoptyping \stoptext gets lines broken wrong in beta from 15.10 (I have just updated the ConTeXt Suite, but I get no newer beta), but lines are broken right with MkIV in http://live.contextgarden.net. I think this may be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

issue with layers and layouts
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Dear list, I have the following sample and two issues that I must solve: \showframe\setuplayout[margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm, height=fit] \definelayout[first][topspace=70mm, bottomspace=30mm] \definelayer[avoidasfloat][x=0mm, y=0mm, hoffset=8mm, voffset=101mm, location={right,bottom}, state=start] \setlayer[avoidasfloat]{\startMPcode draw (0mm,0mm)--(55mm,0mm) ; draw (0mm,0mm)--(0mm,-86mm) ; draw (0mm,-86mm)--(55mm,-86mm) ; draw (55mm,-86mm)--(55mm,0mm) ; \stopMPcode } \setupbackgrounds[page][background={avoidasfloat}] \starttext \dorecurse{40}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext First, the layout is right on the first two pages, but it is wrong from page three. The text doesn’t reach the bottom frame. I have the info on multiple layers from the wiki (it isn’t a complete example, though). After Wolfgang’s reply last Friday, I spend hours searching on the mailing list trying to find relevant information to know what I was doing wrong. If this isn’t a bug, what am I missing here? My second question is about the layer: is there no way to force the text to avoid it as if it were a float? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hello list, I'm using the bib module for a project and have some references where the article title ends with a question mark. How can I suppress the period that is added with the insertarttitle command for these references? \insertarttitle{\bgroup }{\egroup. }{}% ^--------- (suppress this period) Regards, Magnus

How it works \setupurl?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Hello ConTeXist. I have a question: Is there \setupurl independent on \setupinteraction? Is there posibility get external references a different color than the other (default) links (to sections, figures etc) defined by \setupinteraction? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: \setupinteraction[state=start, style=normal, color=blue, contrastcolor=] \setupurl[style=type, color=green] \setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}] \useURL [garden] [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/][] [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/] \starttext \section[sect]{Section} This is testing Cow section. \placefigure[here][cowfig]{Cow figure in Section.} {\externalfigure[cow][width=7cm]} In \in {section}[sect] at \at {page}[sect] is \in {figure}[cowfig] (these links have the correct blue color). But this external link to URL \from[garden] should be {\green green} and should be {\green\tt tt font}. \stoptext

\mframed not aligned in mkiv
by Otared Kavian 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Dear Hans, I noticed a difference between mkii and mkiv in the behavior of \mframed: it seems that in mkiv the frame is not vertically aligned with the the + sign in the following example (or rather it is not vertically centered, please see the attached PDF produced with ConTeXt ver: 2013.10.15 13:52 MKIV). Does one have to use now a new key to require this sort of alignment? Best regard: OK %%%% begin mframed-example.tex \setupcolors[state=start] \def\graymath{\mframed[frame=off, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, backgroundoffset=2pt ]} \starttext Since for $|x| < 1$ we have \startformula \log(1+x) = \graymath{x- \displaystyle{x^2\over2}} + {x^3 \over 3} + \cdots \stopformula we may write $\log(1+x) = x + O(x^2)$. \stoptext %%%% end mframed-example.tex

Need help defining command.
by Keith J. Schultz 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

HI All, I remember seeing some seeing what I want to do but I can not find it. I would like to define a command that takes an optional key-valued list and 1 or 2 manditory ones. Something like \unexanded\def\MyCommand[#1]#2% {% \NassiGroupFrame[#1]{#2}% }% or \unexanded\def\MyCommand[#1]#2% {% % extract keyvalue \NassiGroupFrame[\width=\extractedvalueone]{hbox to \extractvaletwo{#2}}% }% where \NassiGroupFrame is a Frame. To give you an idea why I need this see the MWE below. This is a relatively simple example, there will be more complicated frames and they will be nested. Maybe I am chasing windmills and there is a better way and I should use cld or lua for outputing the Frames so that I can have spacing between the command and avoid having to use "%" after the first opening "{". Or does someone know how it can be done. Is there a way to use ConTeXt to write the command Pointers, help welcome. MWE: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% NassiSimpleFrameBox %% %% Draw a box around a frame using exact height %% and width. to use it use overlay NassiSimpleFrameBox %% \startuniqueMPgraphic{NassiSimpleFrameBox} pickup pencircle scaled \overlaylinewidth ; draw (0,0) -- (0, OverlayHeight) -- (OverlayWidth, OverlayHeight) -- (OverlayWidth, 0) -- cycle withcolor OverlayLineColor; \stopuniqueMPgraphic %% Define Overlay for NassiSimpleFrameBox %% \defineoverlay[NassiSimpleFrameBox][\uniqueMPgraphic{NassiSimpleFrameBox}] %% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% NassiGroupFrameBox %% %% Draw a box around a frame which contains several %% structures.

Standalone Installation Question
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

I downloaded and ran: $ sh ./$SETUPFILE --modules=all --engine=luatex --context=current # # The documentation on web page [ http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#General_Information ] statess that: " An intialization script called setuptex is provided in installation-dir/tex/. " If you run context from a terminal, source setuptex like so: " source /installation-dir/tex/setuptex " BUT, first-setup.sh did not produce and populate any ./tex directory and there is no setuptex command file. What can I do to proceed from this point. Currently the /installation directory contains: Reference: first-setup.sh produces the following files and directory structure: $ ls -l drwxrwxrwx+ 1 djtm None 0 Oct 20 16:09 . drwxr-xr-x 1 djh Users 0 Oct 20 14:06 .. drwxr-xr-x+ 1 djh None 0 Aug 7 16:40 bin -rwxr-xr-- 1 djh None 3654 Jun 20 22:27 first-setup.sh $ $ ls -l bin -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 999424 Nov 23 2012 cygiconv-2.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 1873396 Nov 23 2012 cygwin1.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 72192 Aug 14 09:29 kpathsea620.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 338944 Aug 14 10:32 lua52.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 6889472 Sep 28 07:03 luatex.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 7680 Apr 16 2013 mtxrun.dll -rwxr-xr-x 1 djh None 4608 Apr 16 2013 mtxrun.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 497742 Oct 15 20:54 mtxrun.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 djh None 25352 Oct 8 06:31 mtx-update.lua -rwxr-xr-x 1 djh None 346112 Nov 23 2012 rsync.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 djh None 1536 Jun 24 22:41 texlua.exe -------- END

Problem with link colors.
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hello ConTeXist. Where is my mistake, if I want to have external references a different color than the other (default) links (to sections, figures etc) defined by \setupinteraction? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: \setupinteraction[state=start, style=normal, color=blue, contrastcolor=] \setupurl[style=type, color=green] \setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}] \useURL [garden] [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/][] [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/] \starttext \section[sect]{Section} This is testing Cow section. \placefigure[here][cowfig]{Cow figure in Section.} {\externalfigure[cow][width=7cm]} In \in {section}[sect] at \at {page}[sect] is \in {figure}[cowfig] (these links have the correct blue color). But this external link to URL \from[garden] should be {\green green} and should be {\green\tt tt font}. \stoptext
