underbraces slightly too narrow (with MkIV 2013.05.28)
by Sanjoy Mahajan 15 Feb '14

15 Feb '14

In certain cases, display-mathunderbraces are not quite wide enough. Here's a minimal example: =================== \starttext \placeformula\startformula \underbrace{15\,\tf cm}_{L} \stopformula \stoptext =================== Using 2013.05.28 00:36 MKIV (from vanilla TL2013), the left brace tip starts under the vertical bar of the "1", instead of enclosing the serif as well. The right brace tip ends between the last two tines of the "m", instead of enclosing the whole "m" and its serifs. With 2013.04.09 10:38 MKII, the brace tips extend just slightly beyond the "15 cm", which is better. However, they seem slightly too close. As a test, I ran the comparable plain-TeX file through LuaTeX and PDFTeX. ================== $$ \underbrace{15\,\rm cm}_{L} $$ \bye ================== The gap between the right brace tip and the text is slightly greater (with either LuaTeX or PDFTeX), and it looks right. (With the 2012.05.30 MKIV on live.contextgarden.net, the result is similar to the Lua/PDFTeX versions, though not identical, and also looks reasonable.) -Sanjoy

missing underbrace using palatino with latest beta (2013.12.26)
by Sanjoy Mahajan 15 Feb '14

15 Feb '14

A minimal example: ----------- cut --------------- \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext \startformula \underbrace{x}_{1} \stopformula \stoptext ----------- cut --------------- It works fine with 2013.05.28 00:36 MKIV current. With 2013.12.26 12:50 MKIV beta, the underbrace disappears. With a bigger target (e.g. "xyz" instead of "x") or with the default font, the underbrace returns. -- -Sanjoy

Setting `before` option of chapter breaks header text
by Michael Scholtz 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

If chapter titles are styled using the `before` option, the header texts on each first page of the documents (body|back|appendix)part are incorrect, because chapter name and number are empty. (Tested with ConTeXt version 2013.05.28 00:36 and 2013.09.03 10:22) Is this a bug? (If not, is there any other way to set `before` without breaking the headers?) Here an example: \setuphead[chapter][ before=\hairline\blank, %<<< headers work, if this line is removed after=\nowhitespace\hairline, ] \setuppagenumbering[location=] % clear page numbers \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupheadertexts[chapter][pagenumber] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupheadertexts[{Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber]: \getmarking[chapter]}][pagenumber] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \setupheadertexts[chapter][pagenumber] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[appendix] \setupheadertexts[{Appendix \getmarking[chapternumber]: \getmarking[chapter]}][pagenumber] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter \chapter{Front One} Here the header is correct. \chapter{Front Two} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Body One} Incorrect header on this page. \page[yes] Here the header is correct. \chapter{Body Two} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \chapter{Back One} Incorrect (none) header on this page. \chapter{Back Two} \stopbackmatter \startappendices \chapter{Appedix One} Incorrect header on this page. \chapter{Appedix Two} \stopappendices \stoptext Regards, Michael

context mkiv output options
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Can MKIV ConTeXt output image files. I need to create an image file from a document and would prefer use Context to output it directly if possible and not have to convert a pdf file to an image file such as png or tiff. Is there a command line option for this. I looked at the outpuf from $ context --help , but cold find no answer there. It did not even mention the --pdf option, which does exist. Thanks

XML and ConTeXt - no XML text showing up in output
by Steve Anderson 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

I'm following the instructions in http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf for using XML in ConTeXt.

workarounds required for book layouts.
by john Culleton 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

For print books the half-title page is backed by a blank page but the full title page is backed by the copyright page. The first page of the bodymatter (chapter 1 in most cases) is recto faced by a blank verso. There are workarounds that obtain this layout. First \standardmakeup command must be modified thus: \setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no] Then to get a blank page after the half title We must insert a dummy page thus: \startstandardmakeup \null \stopstandardmakeup These two moves put a blank page after the half title but forbid it thereafter. The blank page after \startbodymatter, after \startbackmatter and after \startappendix is provided by: \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=] \setupsectionblock[bodypart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[backpart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[appendix] [page=] This combination of workarounds gets the job done. There may be other combinations that do it as well. My suggestion is that all the above setup commands should be built into context. It takes some exploration of the mailing list to ferret out these layout techniques. I have already added them to my boilerplate macros.tex file that I insert in every book layout file. But others have to discover these techniques afresh when they start using Context for books. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Comfortaa font and ligatures
by Flavien Lambert 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Dear all, I would like to use the comfortaa font available at http://www.dafont.com/comfortaa.font. I managed - maybe in a wrong way - to do it through the following example: \definefontfeature[comfortaa][mode=node,kern=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes] \starttypescriptcollection[comfortaa] \starttypescript[sans][comfortaa][name] \setups[font:fallback:sans] \definefontsynonym[Sans][name:comfortaa][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[comfortaa] \definetypeface[\typescriptone][ss][sans][comfortaa][default] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection \setupbodyfont[comfortaa] \starttext fl fi \stoptext Unfortunately, there are no ligatures whereas the snapshots given by the author show some of them like fi and fl. Did I use the correct script? Best regards, Flavien.
