Hello context list, is there a bug in the mathbold-feature? I tried the several things, for example the attached example, without success. Thanks in advance. Xenia

reStructuredText module
by Bill Meahan 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Am I correct in thinking the rst module does not process the "class" and "container" directives? I looked through the Lua source and didn't see anyplace where these directives are processed although I will be the first to admit I don't know much about Lua. I retired from software development before Lua became popular and never bothered to learn it. Assembler, FORTRAN, C, SQL, PL/SQL, Perl.... I know or knew, Lua I do not. :) I use these directives heavily and pandoc ignores them so I'm beginning to think I have a problem generating EPUB + ConTeXt + HTML(5) versions of the same document from common rst source. Thanks! All information and suggestions welcome. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

beta
by Hans Hagen 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, I uploaded a beta. Quite some files were touched as I went over all messages at the Lua end (simplified using the formatter, more consistent, etc). It might be that I made mistakes which then will show up when tracing options are enabled or error messages are issued.

garden example at fault
by H. van der Meer 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

I tried this sample from the garden to look at the top and bottom, see Command/setuplayout. Below a copy of the garden page (pagesize changed from A10 to A6): \setuppapersize[A6] %% This is an example for showing the effect of the vertical parameters %% top, topdistance, bottom, bottomdistance and topspace. %% Just play around with these parameters. \showframe %% Show the top and the bottom with blue color: \setupbackgrounds[header, footer][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] \def\MyLength{10pt} \setuplayout[ top=\MyLength, topdistance=\MyLength, bottom=\MyLength, bottomdistance=\MyLength, topspace=\dimexpr(\topheight + \topdistance), height=fit] \starttext \input thuan \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013030308 (rev 4589) ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.04 18:28 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.4 int: english/english The top and bottom should have been blue as in the screenshot from the garden (figure to the left). The reality however is no blue sections at all (figure at right). What is wrong: the (fairly recent) context or the example in the garden? Hans van der Meer

setups within typescripts: can it be done?
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Dear gang, Here is the situation: For an upcoming book project I may use a set of proprietary fonts whose license that does not allow modification even for personal, private use. Some characters I need are absent, but the components I need are there (macrons, dots, etc). So I can conceivably use \defineactivecharacter to map each needed unicode char to a \def made of glyph components in the font. Now in a typescript we have different fonts: Each individual font needs its own setup in terms of \defineactivecharacter. So the final typeface will be able to associate each individual font with its associated setup. So here's my idea: ============== \startsetups font1 \defineactivecharacter b blah1 \stopsetups \startsetups font2 \defineactivecharacter b blah2 \stopsetups \starttypescript [serif] [name] \definefontsynonym [MyFont1][name:SuperFontRgular][features=myfeatures,fallbacks=myfallback,setups=font1] \definefontsynonym [MyFont2][name:SuperFontItalic][features=myfeatures,fallbacks=myfallback,setups=font2] \stoptypescript =============== Is this doable? If not is there another way? If doable, is there a better way? If this is totally undoable, then here is another approach: Is there a way in mkiv to make a definition that can translate the following: ========== If font1 is active use def1 If font2 is active use def2 : Else \relax ========== If not, are there any other ideas? Thanks in advance for any hints and guidance. Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

TOC: Chapters with and without page-numbers
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hello there, normally I use \setuplist[chapter][pagenumber=no] to prevent pages for chapters in the TOC, because normally (!) after every chapter-titel comes a section-title, directly, without text between the two titles. And so it is in this case enough to give the page-number for the section-titles only. But now I have an book with one single chapter, which do not have sections. So with \setuplist[chapter][pagenumber=no] it has no page-number in the TOC. I want to have the page-number for this single chapter-title only, but for the other chapter-titles (which have section-titles after them) I want still the above setting. How to do that? Thank you! Huseyin PS.: Sorry for sending this question with the wrong email-adress one minute before, it awaits moderation, but can be deleted, of course.

Reusing MP graphics
by Marco Patzer 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, I have two questions concerning MP graphics. What's going on here? The “abcdefghi” text is not displayed in the second graphic and the “A” is stretched to match the size of the first graphic. Can someone explain why this happens and if this is expected? \startreusableMPgraphic{foo} draw textext("abcdefghi"); picture p; p := currentpicture; \stopreusableMPgraphic \startreusableMPgraphic{bar} addto currentpicture also p; %% not printed draw textext("A"); %% distorted \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{foo} \reuseMPgraphic{bar} \stoptext Does \includeMPgraphic only work with useMPgraphics (in contrast to reusableMPgraphic)? %% works with useMPgraphics, though \startreusableMPgraphic{alpha} draw textext("abcdefghi"); \stopreusableMPgraphic \startreusableMPgraphic{beta} \includeMPgraphic{alpha} draw textext("A"); %% not printed \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{alpha} \reuseMPgraphic{beta} \stoptext Marco

width=local broken?
by reviczky＠caesar.elte.hu 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, I'm trying to use "width=local" in an enumartion, but the width is the same for hsize, broad and local. Example from the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Framed#Width_broad_and_local) \setuppapersize[A5] \setuppapersize[A7,landscape][A7,landscape] \setupbodyfont[8pt,ss] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupframed[framecolor=blue] \showframe \starttext \framed[width=\hsize,align=middle]{width=hsize} \startitemize \setlocalhsize \item \framed[width=\hsize,align=middle] {width=hsize} \item \framed[width=broad,align=middle] {width=broad} \item \framed[width=local,align=middle] {width=local} \stopitemize \stoptext Compare the above example with the picture from the wiki. Did something changed around "local"? Adam
