by Ulrike Fischer 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Is it possible to tell context to create a .synctex file instead of a .synctex.gz? (Or alternativly does someone know how to get sumatra (on windows) to handle a synctex.gz?) -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

bibliography (interaction)
by Alan BRASLAU 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hello, 1. Is there some way to enable interaction with bibliographies? (i.e. hyperlinks from the citations to the list.) 2. Can one create an index of author names, for example, listing the pages of citations? Alan

widowpenalty
by Meer H. van der 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Is the \widowpenalty for avoiding short single lines at the top of the page functional in ConTeXt? Or is there another setup to be done? I find a situation where \widowpenalty=10000 doesn't make a difference. But it is not easily decided if the TeX-engine could have done nothing in this special case or if the parameter is not functional. Hans van der Meer

Dear gang, I made a wiki page for \feature et al: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Open_Type_Fonts_and_Featuresets_in_MkIV Towards the end we need a graphical sample of the sample file, but I do not know how to do that. See ======= Now let us review the results: [output/graphic here] ======= I have to move on to other projects so I'm leaving completion and improvement to others in the community.

That is, with the diff: 98c98 < \bigskip --- > %\bigskip 100c100 < %\column --- > \column it does not work: the last exercise is shown in the first column. Can anyone explain me what happens? Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: Please CCme.

Mixed columns
by Wolfgang Schuster 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi, after the problem with the \column command with the normal columns environment I tried if the original problem can be solved with mixed columns. While the \column command works there a unwanted space appeared at the begin of the second column. In the following example you can see space from the \blank in the first column is ignored while in the second column it appears in the output. <example> \starttext \showframe \startmixedcolumns \blank text \column \blank text \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext </example> Wolfgang
