Setupparagraphnumbering
by Diego Depaoli 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi all, since I got the same issue reported in that unanswered question http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/064172.html, before switch from the 0.70 version installed by default in Ubuntu to another one, is the \setupparagraphnumbering command supposed to work well now? My best regards -- Diego Depaoli

mathcases look different in mathalign and formula
by Tobias Columbus 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi all, While playing with \startmathcases, I discovered some strange (maybe wanted?) behaviour of \startmathcases and \stopmathcases: - The interline spacing in mathcases is different depending on whether the mathcases are used in a mathalignment or a formula environment. - Lucida OpenType math has some nice curly brace that is also used in cases environments. However, if \startmathcases, \stopmathcases is used in some mathalignment environment and the cases contain subscripts, the curly brace disappears and some "straight" brace is used instead. - When using superscripts instead of subscripts, the curly brace reappears but the cases look like not vertically centered in both formula and mathalignment environments. I produced an example demonstrating the above observations. In my opinion, the disappearing curly brace is worst of all of them since one frequently has formulas both with and without subscripts on the same page and different braces are quite easily spotted.

typescript Adobe Blank
by Philipp Gesang 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi all, recently Adobe open sourced another font [1] [2]. It’s primarily intended for use as WOFF but has some interesting properties nevertheless (like covering *every* unicode code point). Below is a typescript [3], take it with a grain of salt ;-) Best Philipp [1] announcement: http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2013/03/introducing-adobe-blank.html [2] repo: http://sourceforge.net/adobe/adobe-blank/wiki/Home/ [3] gist: https://gist.github.com/phi-gamma/5300862 Note that in spite of the font being tagged “regular”, sans is defined too.

Problem with getmarking and setupheadertexts
by "H. Özoguz" 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi together, what is wrong with the following shortexample? ++++++++++++++++++++++++ \setupheadertexts [] [{\cap\getmarking[chapter]}] [][] \starttext \startchapter[ title={Long long long title, it is indeed}, marking = {Shorter Title}, ] \stopchapter \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The getmarking in setupheadertexts seems to be ignored, why? Maybe "marking" is the wrong attribute? Thanks, Huseyin

Visualcounter: style parameter not working as expected
by Romain Diss 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi all, I'm actually using the visualcounter module for a presentation and I can't modify the style of the page number inside the countdown counter. The documentation let me think the 'style' parameter should do the job but it doesn't seem to work. Do I miss something or is this a bug? %% Minimal working exemple %%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[visualcounter] \definevisualcounter [test] [countdown] [counter=userpage] \setupvisualcounter [test] [style=\tfd] % This is not taken into account \setupfootertexts[][\usevisualcounter{test}] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par \input knuth \page} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Unusual error in Math mode
by Devendra Ghate 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hello Everyone, \starttext $ E [ w ] = 1 $ \stoptext produces Eaw]=1 using my context (current version: 2013.03.29 01:03). Needless to say that the MWE works as expected on the Context live @ contextgarden. I have no clue as to how to go about debugging the problem. So did a fresh install in a different directory but still get exactly the same result. I will be grateful for any suggestions on how to identify the problem in my context installation. -- Cheers, Devendra

start page numbering in MKIV
by john Culleton 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

The command \setuppagenumber[number=3,state=start] seems not to work under MKIV. Here is the sequence: \setuppagenumber[number=3,state=start] \completecontent \chapter[Introduction} but Chapter 1 Introduction is shown in the TOC with page 3. It should be page 5 since the TOC starts on physical page 3 and there is one blank page in between. -- John Culleton Wexford Press -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
