startchapter?
by Meer, H. van der 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Previously I could use \chapter[reference-to-this-chapter]{title} Now the preferred way seems to be \startchapter[title=the-title], but how do I program now the reference to this chapter? The Wiki does not contains a page for \startchapter and the section on command only gives info and examples on the \chapter macro. Hans van der Meer

setcalligraphicfont with simplefonts
by reviczky＠caesar.elte.hu 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Hi, I thought I could use zapfino as a calligraphicfont as it is indeed a calligraphic typeface. The following example (modified from bitbucket.org/wolfs/simplefonts/src/tip/files/simplefonts-34.tex) however gives me an error: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setcalligraphicfont[zapfinoextraltpro] \starttext \cg\input knuth \stoptext --- fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'calligraphicfont:2' --- Adam

footnotes what happened?
by Meer, H. van der 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

What has happened to \setupfootnotes? \setupfootnotes defines [textcolor=] although in the wiki just below this the example has [color=] instead. But neither of these do color the footnote text. As the reset of the footnote numbering by chapter with way=bychapter doesn't work either, though advertised in the wiki, I really fear there is something amiss here. I am the one who is mistaken or are some reparations needed? Hans van der Meer

footnotes by chapter
by Meer, H. van der 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I would like to have my footnotes typeset by chapter, using the following input: \startbuffer This is some text\footnote{First footnote}. Followed by more and more text having a footnote\footnote{Second footnote}. Again some text. Again some text. Again some text. Again some text. \stopbuffer \setupfootnotes[location=text,way=bychapter] \starttext \chapter{Chapter One}\getbuffer\placefootnotes \chapter{Chapter Two}\getbuffer\placefootnotes \chapter{Chapter Three}\getbuffer\placefootnotes \stoptext Note the setup parameter "way=bychapter" but the numbering is not restarted with the chapter! Instead they go on and on. See the example output. How to restart the footnote numbering per chapter if that way= parameter doesn't do it?

Glyph Variants with MKIV
by reviczky＠caesar.elte.hu 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Hi, How can I use glyph variants with ConTeXt/LuaTeX? Khaled posted an example with LuaLaTeX[1] and I would like to use that in a ConTeXt document. Can this be achieved with simplefonts or even directly? Something like this: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[zapfinoextraltpro] \starttext \setupsimplefonts[variant=2] \input knuth \setupsimplefonts[variant=3] \input knuth \stoptext Adam [1] http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/29123/can-i-get-lualatex-to-do-font-…

footnotes and columns
by Meer, H. van der 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

It appears that footnotes and columns are not friends of each other. Setting \setupfootnotes[location=columns] does not place the footnotes in the columns but still at the bottom of the page. Furthermore the \startcolumns..\stopcolumns sequence seems to have an adverse effect on the textheight, because the footnotes can be seen to sometimes intrude in the textarea (or vice versa of course). Changing the footnote setup to location = page, firstcolumn, lastcolumn, nothing different seen. Is this a known problem. I am refraining for the moment of a simple demo, because that is always difficult to achieve with this sort of placement problems. Hans van der Meer

MetaPost Function Grapher
by Troy Henderson 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

The MetaPost output from my Function Grapher http://www.tlhiv.org/mpgraph/ is now available in ConTeXt format. This can be illustrated by choosing a graph type and selecting an example from one of the Example buttons. Once the graph is drawn, the ConTeXt source can be downloaded using the "Download" drop-down box. Simply executing `context mpgraph.tex` should produce the same graph viewed on the website in PDF. If you see any bugs, feel free to let me know. Troy Henderson
