\setupitemgroup symbol
by Troy Henderson 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

I would like to use the section symbol \S as the symbol of an itemized (non-enumerated) list. It seems that the wiki shows 9 predefined bullet types, but I don't see how to use a custom bullet type. Troy

Spurious line when indenting with tabs using database module
by Marco Patzer 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi, I get an extra line when I use tabs for indentation, indenting with spaces works fine. Example: \usemodule [database] \defineseparatedlist [CSV] [before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR, last=\eTR, left=\bTD, right=\eTD] \starttext %% indentation with spaces works \startCSV alpha, 10 beta, 20 gamma, 30 \stopCSV %% indentation with tabs produces spurious extra line \startCSV alpha, 10 beta, 20 gamma, 30 \stopCSV %% some weird indentation works, but looks awkward \startplacetable \startCSV alpha, 10 beta, 20 gamma, 30 \stopCSV \stopplacetable \stoptext This looks like a bug.

bug in paragraph notes
by Pablo Rodríguez 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi Hans, two months ago, I reported a bug with paragraph linenotes not properly separated from body. Here was my sample: \definelinenote[A] \setupnote[A][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[A][alternative=serried] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{500}{body\A{note} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Wolfgang confirmed that the bug appeared with paragraph notes: \setupnote [footnote][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=serried,display=no] \starttext \dorecurse{200}{text text text\footnote{note} } \stoptext Using the beta from today, the bug is still there. Could you fix the bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

mp inclusions etc
by Hans Hagen 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi, I updated the inclusion mechanism a bit. It's now: % initializations: % % - pass settings from tex to mp (delayed expansion) % - used by context core (and modules) % - cummulative definitions % - flushed each graphic % - can be disabled per instance % - managed at the tex end % % extensions: % % - add mp functionality (immediate expansion) % - cummulative % - all instances or subset of instances % - can be disabled per instance % - managed at the lua/mp end % - could be managed at the tex end but no real reason and also messy % % definitions: % % - add mp functionality (delayed expansion) % - cummulative % - per instance % - managed at the tex end % % inclusions: % % - add mp functionality (delayed expansion) % - cummulative only when [+] % - per instance % - managed at the tex end % % order of execution: % % definitions % extensions % inclusions % beginfig % initializations % graphic % endfig So, the main differences are: (1) inclusions bound to default or specific instanced (2) extensions more flexible \starttext \startMPextensions color ColorOne ; ColorOne := red ; color ColorTwo ; ColorTwo := green ; color ColorThree ; ColorThree := blue ; \stopMPextensions \startMPextensions{doublefun} color ColorThree ; ColorThree := magenta ; \stopMPextensions \startMPinclusions def DoWhatever = draw textext("N") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPinclusions def DoWhatever = draw textext("Y") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPinclusions{doublefun} def DoWhatever = draw textext("Y") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPinclusions[+]{doublefun} def DoWhatever = draw textext("YY") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPcode{metafun} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor ColorOne withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 2cm withcolor ColorTwo withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor ColorThree withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; DoWhatever ; \stopMPcode \startMPcode{doublefun} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor ColorOne withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 2cm withcolor ColorTwo withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor ColorThree withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; DoWhatever ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Vertical alignment in combinations?
by Mari Voipio 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Today I feel like a total ConTeXt dummy... The problem: I have 3*1 combination where the end graphics are the same size, but the middle graphic is much shorter. With a standard \startcombination\stopcombination I can easily get all three side-by-side, but they are bottom-aligned while I'd need them middle-aligned. I thought I once had a solution to this, but can't find it - and, for once, the garden doesn't seem to be able to help. Is there a setting I can use to fix the vertical alignment? Or should I give up with combinations and go for a natural table instead? Or do something totally else? Thanks, Mari

simplefonts and math
by Pablo Rodríguez 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Hi Wolfgang, the following sample seems not to select the right math font: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \setmathfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext The basic operation $ 1 + 1 = 2 $. \stoptext I'm afraid this might be a bug, since the sample is taken from the source code hosted at Bitbucket. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
