Find all words set into the margin
by "H. Özoguz" 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

I use \definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \usetypescript[times] \setupbodyfont[times,11pt] \setuptolerance[verystrict] Is there a command or a macro to find all occurences in a file (or projekt), where some word is printed into the margin? (Maybe because of bad hyphenation or something else.) - Would be perfect for manual check-up and corrections! Thanks. Huseyin

Hi Mojca et al. todays beta broke the gnuplot module. This is probably due to the changes in the MP inclusion mechanism. \usemodule [gnuplot] \starttext \stoptext Marco

Math typesetting problems
by Janne Junnila 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Hi all, I've run into a couple of problems with math typesetting. (I'm using the latest ConTeXt standalone beta.) The following doesn't print [x,x] at all: \startformula [x,x]_t = x \stopformula It can be fixed by using \left[x,x\right]_t, but I find the behaviour weird. Another problem I have is related to the positioning of minus signs in front of fractions. I would expect the minus sign to align with the horizontal line of the fraction, as it does on LaTeX. Below is an example formula to illustrate my point. The result seems to be independent of the font in use. \startformula -\frac{e^{\frac{4}{5}}}{4} \stopformula Janne

processing xml with lua
by Schmitz Thomas A. 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi all, one of my favorite topics… Here is a minimal example which shows something that I don't understand: when I process the subsection with the lua code, I want to get the value of the current section's "label" attribute in xml.attribute(r, "../../section", "label", "X"). So i was expecting that lua would go up (../../) and fetch the current section's label. But if you run the example, you see that it actually always gets the first section's label (value is always 1). How can I get the current section's label with a lua function? THanks and all best Thomas \startbuffer[test] <chapter> <section label="1"> <subsection label="1"> <content> text 1.1 </content> </subsection> </section> <section label="3"> <subsection label="1"> <content> text 3.1 </content> </subsection> <subsection label="5"> <content> text 3.5 </content> </subsection> </section> </chapter> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{chapter|section|subsection|content}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:chapter \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:section \xmlflush{#1} \par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:subsection \xmlfunction{#1}{test} \stopxmlsetups \startluacode outfile = io.open('temp.tmp', 'w') function xml.functions.test(r) content = xml.text(r, "content") section = xml.attribute(r, "../../section", "label", "X") context("This ") context(content) context(" is in section ") context(section) end \stopluacode \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \enabletrackers[context.trace] \xmlshow{main} \stoptext

recalculate background on every page with \uniqueMPgraphic?
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Dear list, with the (almost minimal) example below, I hoped that the frame would be recalculated at every page. But it is not (they all look the same in my output pdf). How can I force the frame to be redrawn at every page? Btw, If I change the uniqueMPgraphic to useMPgraphic (everywhere) my file does not compile anymore. I get some lua error. /Mikael \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setuplayout[ width=fit, height=fit, margin=1pt, topspace=0.5cm, headerdistance=0.3cm, footerdistance=0.5cm, footer=14pt, backspace=1.5cm, location=middle, ] \startuniqueMPgraphic{figram} path q; rr:=7mm; StartPage; q := lrcorner Field[RightMargin][Header] -- llcorner Field[LeftMargin][Header] -- ulcorner Field[LeftMargin][Footer] -- urcorner Field[RightMargin][Footer] -- cycle; draw q withcolor 0.7white; draw (urcorner q)--((urcorner q) xshifted 1bp+(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; draw (urcorner q)--((urcorner q) yshifted 1bp+(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; draw (ulcorner q)--((ulcorner q) xshifted -1bp-(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; draw (ulcorner q)--((ulcorner q) yshifted 1bp+(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; draw (llcorner q)--((llcorner q) xshifted -1bp-(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; draw (llcorner q)--((llcorner q) yshifted -1bp-(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; draw (lrcorner q)--((lrcorner q) xshifted 1bp+(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; draw (lrcorner q)--((lrcorner q) yshifted -1bp-(uniformdeviate rr)) withcolor .7white; StopPage; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[figram][\uniqueMPgraphic{figram}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=figram] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stoptext

About Chapter head definition and FunnyFrame
by Jeong Dalyoung 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Dear all, I have two questions. 1. I defined \Myheader and use it to shape the chapter head as following: \def\Myheader#1#2{% \framedtext [width=\overlaywidth, height=9\bodyfontsize, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, offset=2pt, strut=no, frame=off, align={middle, middle}] { {\tfb 제 #1 장} \blank[big] {\sans #2} }} \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupheadertexts[][{\tfx COUNTING}] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided},location={footer,right}] \setuphead[chapter][command=\Myheader,before={\dontleavehmode\blank[2*big]},after={\blank[5*big]}, page=right] \stopsectionblockenvironment …. \chapter{The Addition Principle \crlf {\tfx Sum Rule}} …. But it produces an error which is … ! Argument of \Myheader has an extra }. system > tex > error on line 94 in file SumRule.tex … What is wrong in this code? 2. I used "funnyFrame" defined in the MetaFun book. It works fine except that it is left aligned. I'd like to put such a frame in the middle. But \startalignment[middle] didn't work. Is there any way to make FunnyFrame center aligned? Thank you for the reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment
by Alasdair McAndrew 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

So I've come back to using ConTeXt after a year away from it (publishers preferring LaTeX, y'know), and in revising some student notes I'm getting errors which seem new. For a collection of overheads, I've set up \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em={\slanted\color[red]}] However, when I run context on my files, a command such as {\em elephant} produces: l.3 The {\em elephant} is a large gray animal ? h The control sequence marked <to be read again> should not appear between \csname and \endcsname. What's going on here, and how do I fix it? Thanks, Alasdair

Arranging framed text without gaps
by Matthias Weber 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Dear all, I am trying to create a table where the entries have determined width and height. They typically are something like \framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align={center,middle}{Text} and I understand that I will be responsible for making the dimensions so that everything fits nicely. After playing around without much success with the various tables, I came up with the following which is not exactly ConTeXt-like: \setupframed[ width=5cm, height=4cm, location={middle}, align={center,middle} ] \setupbodyfont[24pt] \starttext \hbox{{\framed{Jim}}{\framed{Mary}}{\framed{John}}} \hbox{{\framed{Patsy}}{\framed{Bob}}{\framed{Linda}}} \hbox{{\framed{Mike}}{\framed{Babsy}}{\framed{Bill}}} \hbox{{\framed{Liz}}{\framed{Dave}}{\framed{Jenny}}} \hbox{{\framed{Dick}}{\framed{Sue}}{\framed{Chuck}}} \hbox{{\framed{Maggie}}{\framed{Joe}}{\framed{Dolley}}} \hbox{{\framed{Tom}}{\framed{Lisa}}{\framed{Chris}}} \hbox{{\framed{Nancy}}{\framed{Paul}}{\framed{Betty}}} \stoptext I get small gaps between the horizontal rows which I don't like. Also, in my (possibly not quite up to date) MkIV, the texts isn't centered. In MkII it is. My questions: How do I -- achieve the desired layout (exact dimensions, frames, no gaps) the right way, -- without gaps between horizontal rows -- with text centered in the frames also in MkIV? Thanks a lot - Matthias
