Re: [NTG-context] Split \starttabulates
by Malte Stien 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hello, This is a bit old now, but I would like to come back to it. First of all, Marco, thank you for your response. I did try it and it does work. However, I seem to be loosing other things like adjusting the table width; things that \placetable provides. \placetable also has the advantage that I don't have to wrap it around my tables, it just appears at the beginning, not the end. A couple of points: - I tried to find some documentation about \startplacetable… \stopplacetable to see how I could enforce the width and generally to see what options there were. I could not find any, not even in the source code. How is this pair defined? - I also tried to find out the overall problem with \placetable. According to this page here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Floating_Objects the split option should work, but for TABLEs only. So, I think this does not work for me because I am using TABULATE, right? The split function in \setuptabulate works as well, but only if the table is not inserted using \placetable, that is as a float. So, \placetable knows how to split a TABLE but not a TABULATE although \starttabulate… \stoptabulate knows how to split itself. Is that right? But if it is not inserted as a float, I do not get a caption and I cannot refer to my table later on, right? There seem to be different ways of doing this, all of which miss out on some fine detail I need them to do. So, after all that rumbling, I guess, I am asking... …is there another way of: - placing a TABULATE table such that it has a caption that I can refer to; - split the TABULATE table across multiple pages; - and control the width of the TABULATE table. Thank you, Malte.

Typesetting LibreOffice (ODT) documents with ConTeXt
by Bill Meahan 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

I scoured the wiki and mailing-list without finding a definite answer. The most recent discussion I can find is from 2006 and at that time it was "possible" but nobody had yet developed the appropriate template, XSLT style-sheet, module or whatever to actually do it. For a number of reasons (including an absolute necessity to produce MS compatible .doc files) I need to maintain and write documents using LibreOffice Writer (or OO.org Writer) but the quality of the PDF files is, shall we say, not satisfactory. Exporting to LaTeX 2e is possible (and standard equipment in LO-W) but after using both for a while now, I vastly prefer ConTeXt. I could probably use something like the TEI tools to transform the ODT file to XHTML or TEI p5 and process that but I've found over many years such intermediate transformations have a lot of problems of their own. I don't need math support for /my/ work but I am sure others who do need it would like to follow the same route to great PDFs. Any solutions? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

\startplacefigure breaking paragraph flow
by Marcin Borkowski 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hi all, when I issue a \startplacefigure, it breaks the flow of the paragraph. Normally, it is not a problem (I can use 2*hang anyway), but I have a one-paragraph enumeration (made by \defineenumeration), and if I give the figure at its beginning, the "label" is on a line by its own; the problem is, I want the enumeration typeset by a block, and that's why I don't want to give the figure *before* the block. Here's a MWE: \defineenumeration[question][ text={\llap{$\blacktriangleright$~}Question}, right={.}, before={\blank[small]}, after={}, distance=0.5em, alternative=serried, width=fit, ] \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \keepblocks[question] \hideblocks[answer] \setupblock[question][before=\startquestion,after=\stopquestion] \setupblock[answer][before=\startanswer,after=\stopanswer] \def\noanswer{\incrementnumber[answer]} \starttext \beginquestion This looks good. \input knuth \endquestion \beginquestion \startplacefigure[location={none,right,2*hang}] \framed{\tfd My figure} \stopplacefigure This looks bad. \input knuth \endquestion \stoptext Any suggestions? -- Marcin Borkowski room B3-46, phone no +48 61 829 5375 http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

mkiv in endless loop
by geert dobbels 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hello, I have been using context rather extensively until 2008 and then moved to another job where I did not use anything tex related. After those nearly 5 years, I decided to pick up context again. I wanted to try mkiv because the possibility of using openfonts looked interesting, so I made a tex file based on one that worked years ago, changed the font definitions to the texgyre fonts and gave it a try. The font defs seem to be ok (at least there are no error msges related to fonts) but after context gets through my tex file, it enters an endless loop which I have to interrupt. I checked the file over and over and cannot find any error. I tested a short "hello world" tex file, and that one worked fine. any clues on what could be going on here ? This is the log file after running context (shortened because it is a long one): (/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV fmt: 2013.2.8 int: dutch/dutch system > cont-new.mkiv geladen (/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv ) system > files > jobname: R79_OVA, input: R79_OVA, result: R79_OVA fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > taal nl is actief (R79_OVA.tex{/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' {/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map} fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt wordt geladen % begin of command line arguments % % kindofrun = 1 % fulljobname = ./R79_OVA.tex % no-parse-first-line = true % input = ./R79_OVA.tex % currentrun = 1 % % end of command line arguments % begin of command line files % % 1 ./R79_OVA.tex % % end of command line files (../homolo.tex) floatblocks > volgorde verstoord floatblocks > 1 geplaatst backend > xmp > using file '/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' <Fotos/star.jpg> pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1 Overfull \hbox (11.99997pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 23--27 [][][] \hbox(10.88643+19.35356)x483.69684, direction TLT .\whatsit ..\localinterlinepenalty=0 ..\localbrokenpenalty=0 ..\localleftbox=null ..\localrightbox=null .\hbox(0.0+0.0)x0.0, direction TLT .\hbox(10.88643+19.35356)x495.69681, direction TLT ..\hbox(10.88643+4.23357)x56.9055, direction TLT ...\vbox(0.0+15.12)x56.9055, shifted -10.88643, direction TLT [] ..\glue 11.99997 ..\hbox(10.88643+19.35356)x426.79134, direction TLT ...\vbox(0.0+30.23999)x426.79134, shifted -10.88643, direction TLT [] .\penalty 10000 .\glue(\parfillskip) 0.0 plus 1.0fil .etc. SHORTENED Overfull \hbox (40.59882pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 79--81 [][][] \3>corpo-10pt-rm-tf-0-a-0 In over-een-stem-ming met EG Richt-lijn 76/114*78/507 \hbox(10.88643+4.23357)x213.39566, glue set -

fontloader.open() fails on Heiti from acroread fonts
by Philipp Gesang 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hi all, I’m not sure this is a Luatex or Context bug so please feel free to forward this to the appropriate ML if necessary. With the latest standalone (Luatex beta-0.74.0-2012122510, Context 2013.02.05 22:32) the font db builder fails at Adobe Heiti as distributed with acroread: [14:33:17=>phg@phlegethon=> ~/tmp/ctx/fontdb] mtxrun --script fonts --reload <... /> fonts | names | adding path from OSFONTDIR: /home/phg/.fonts fonts | names | globbing path /usr/share/fonts/**.otftexlua: ../../../source/texk/kpathsea/cnf.c:255: kpathsea_cnf_get: Assertion `kpse->program_name' failed. Aborted (core dumped) (Full log attached.) All fonts, even Adobe stuff, up until Heiti are processed without complaint. I traced the issue to a call to fontloader.open() in font-syn.lua, line 221. To reproduce it, run this code through texlua: #!/usr/bin/env texlua ff = fontloader.open[[/usr/share/fonts/adobe/AdobeHebrew_Regular.otf]] --> works print(ff) --> userdata ff = fontloader.open[[/usr/share/fonts/adobe/AdobeHeitiStd_Regular.otf]] --> fails print(ff) The problem disappears if I initialize kpathsea first: kpse.set_program_name"texlua" ... The problem does not occur with TeX Live 2012/Luatex 0.70/Context 2012.05.30 11:26. Can anyone else reproduce this? Thanks. Philipp

Chapter headings macro
by Devendra Ghate 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hello everyone, I have defined a macro for the chapter layouts -- nothing fancy, but still it is giving me trouble. Essentially, I call this macro using *command=* in *\setuphead*. My philosophy was to add all the details in the macro, so that I don't have to call anyother keyvalue pairs in *\setuphead*. However, the macro gives two different results when called for typesetting a chapter heading by ConTeXt internals and explicitly by me in the document (see attached file). I don't know why the chapter number font style is not obeyed. If I add *numberstyle=dfont* in *\setuphead*, then the font size is increased but the frame size has spurious space at top and bottom. When I call the macro myself, there is a single whitespace before the chapter heading (as can be seen in the attached file). I have gone through the wiki as much as possible and I think that I could have easily copied *much better* heading styles from it. But I do not want to use code that I don't fully understand. Any suggestions/help will be most appreciated. Regards, Devendra *MWE* \definefont [dfont] [Serif at 60pt] \definecolor[lightgrey][h=d8dcd6] \define[2]\dmaketitle{% \starttable[|r|r|] \NC \framed [frame=on, rulethickness=3pt, framecolor=lightgrey, foreground=color, foregroundcolor=lightgrey, corner=00, align=right] {\hspace[big]{\dfont#1}} \NC \framed [width=.1\textwidth, strut=no, frame=on, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] {{\kap\kerncharacters[.5]\tfc#2}} \NR \stoptable } \setuphead [chapter] [command=\dmaketitle] %numberstyle=\dfont \starttext \chapter{Introduction to thesis} \dmaketitle{1}{Introduction to thesis} \stoptext

margin notes in MKIV (doublesided pages)

I need margin notes in a doublesided page environment in MKIV. The following: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupinmargin[location=both] \starttext \inmargin{n1}\input knuth\inmargin{note 1} \page \inmargin{n2}\input knuth\inmargin{note 2} \page \inmargin{n3}\input knuth\inmargin{note 4} \stoptext works in MKII. In MKIV, however, all the margin notes are on the left. So how can I get this right in MKIV? Alan

Hi, I’m looking for something like the example attatched below, braces open left/right, collecting in hiearchies the entries with the capability of vertical lettering. Is there a mechanism in ConTeXt or third party module?

Re: [NTG-context] Adobe Garamond with Simplefont
by "H. Özoguz" 09 Feb '13

Ok, not everything works fine, now everything is bold. So ConTeXt cant recognize the different versions (normal, bold, italic) from adobe garamond pro correctly. But I use them without simplefonts, then it works. Why it is so hard for hard to recognize them correctly, I saw that for other fonts, too. Whereelse other programs do not have these problems.
