Separation of delimited text symbol
by Marco Patzer 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, this issue was raised on stackexchange¹. When setting up a delimited text, a line break is allowed between the character and the following text, which is always undesired (maybe I lack imagination where this might be intended). Example: \setuplayout [width=10cm] \definedelimitedtext [quotation] %% [left={\symbol[leftquotation]}] %% works [left=“] %% separates symbol from the text \starttext När jag som liten uppgett att teckningen föreställer \quotation{Tomtarnas eld i skogen} kanske det inte alls var menat som en optisk liknelse av denna händelse. \stoptext Setting the delimiter as part of the language setting does not cause the symbol to be separated. If there's no use-case for this behaviour, can it be fixed? Marco ¹ http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/101130/5245

new beta
by Hans Hagen 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi, I uploaded a beta. The most important change is that the 'context' function now uses the formatters mechanism instead of Lua's format. This has several benefits. First of all it's in most cases faster (I measured upto 3 times) but it also permits us to support some more: integer %...i number integer %...d number unsigned %...u number utf character %...c number hexadecimal %...x number HEXADECIMAL %...X number octal %...o number string %...s string number float %...f number exponential %...e number exponential %...E number autofloat %...g number autofloat %...G number force tostring %...S any force tostring %Q any force tonumber %N number (strip leading zeros) signed number %I number rounded number %r number 0xhexadecimal %...h character number 0xHEXADECIMAL %...H character number U+hexadecimal %...u character number U+HEXADECIMAL %...U character number points %p number (scaled points) basepoints %b number (scaled points) table concat %...t table boolean (logic) %l boolean BOOLEAN %L boolean whitespace %...w More info can be found in cld-mkiv.pdf. There I also explain how to create specific formatters and how to extend them. In the default formatter there are two extensions that can be used as: string.formatters["whatever %!tex! and %!xml!"]("$ 100","a&b") or local mf = string.formatters["whatever %!tex! and %!xml!"] ... mf("$ 100","a&b") or context("whatever %!tex! and %!xml!","$ 100","a&b") (Someone should add that to the wiki I guess).

[***SPAM***] File access for sourc, graphic, and pictures
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

I am just learning ConTeXt, so please bare with me. In all of the documentation that I've read so far, it shows the names of imported photographs, graphs, blocks, etc as a simple filename without any filename extensions or pathnames. Having a bunch of photographs anc charts files in the same directory as te tex files reallys clutters things up. I'd like to store photographs, etc., to use used in a subdirectory of the project. Also might be nice to have subdirectories for the sourc e of each part of a book. How do experienced people handle organizing files for large-ish scale projects such as a book? It would be educational to learn how this is handled. Thanks

\usemodule not working in latest beta
by Mica Semrick 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Forgive me if this has been answered else where, I couldn't seem to spot it. I have my own little version of t-title.tex that worked with the beta before luatex 0.75. Upon updating to the latest beta last night, the document wouldn't compile. It looked like it wasn't reading up the \usemodule[title] at all, because it was giving me an undefined control sequence error on the first macro defined in t-title.tex (\doctitle{my title}). Help please! Regards, Mica

How to disable hyphenation?
by Marcin Borkowski 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hi, I'd like to typeset some text flush left and *completely* without hyphenation. What do I do? (For now, I wrote \hyphenpenalty=10000, but this is obviously not very ConTeXt-way.) Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

itemize

How does one forces the item nubers to the right. The goal is have the units above each other and not above the tens: < 1> <1> .. not < 9> <9> <10> <10> Could not find it in the command refs of the contextgarden. Hans van der Meer

problem with initialize_box in mkIV
by Alexandre Gerussi 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi there, i'm having problems with metapost and positional graphics in mkIV. Here is a small test file that compiles OK with texexec but fails to compile with context: % the beginning \defineoverlay[frames][\positionoverlay{frames}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=frames] \startMPpositiongraphic{frame} initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{self}}); draw llxy--lrxy--urxy--ulxy--cycle; \stopMPpositiongraphic \startpositionoverlay{frames} \setMPpositiongraphic{one}{frame} \setMPpositiongraphic{two}{frame} \stoppositionoverlay \starttext This \hpos{one}{word} should be \hpos{two}{framed}. \stoptext % the end My system is a Debian Testing, but I don't believe that it is related to the distribution, as this example also fails in the context online compiler @ http://live.contextgarden.net/ The problem seems located around the initialize_box macro. Any help will be much appreciated. AG. Here is the entire output when compiling: $ context essai.tex mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/var/lib/texmf/luatex-cache/context/f919750633122078d706dd10f1cfd39b/formats/cont-en" --lua="/var/lib/texmf/luatex-cache/context/f919750633122078d706dd10f1cfd39b/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "./essai" \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012070300 (TeX Live 2012/Debian) \write18 enabled.

So far they all ran smoothly with each of my whole collection of minimals, including the latest (= yesterday's) beta. So I will have to look in some of the auxiliary files, setups etc. for the cause of my trouble. The fact remains that the present ConTeXt mkiv is different from that of november and before in a way that is crucial for my project. Thanks again. Best regards, Robert Blackstone
