use plain LuaTeX in ConTeXt standalone
by Tim Li 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi, many context users are also luatex user, and the context standalone also contains luatex binary (windows). I input the 'luatex' in the cmd, but it can't work. The message is as follows: d:\>luatex luatex This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.77.0-2013041621 (rev 4633) \write18 enabled. **\relax I can't find the format file `luatex.fmt'!kpathsea: Running mktexfmt luatex.fmtThe command name is D:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mktexfmt Since there is not mktexfmt in the context standalone, is that mean I can't use plain luatex in the context standalone?

Re: [NTG-context] Layer for all pages and for specific pages

The reason for the use of the layer is the following: If I use frames of the natural table, then I have this: \def\arde[#1][#2]{% \bTABLE \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][rightframe=on] \bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE} \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \starttext \arde[\input knuth][\input knuth] \arde[\input knuth][\input knuth] \stoptext There you can see the problem, you have to zoom into the pdf: Between the two tables, there is a tiny tiny (!) space betweeen the vertical lines. Its not a big issue, but it is there. Huseyin

Layer for all pages and for specific pages
by "H. Özoguz" 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi, I use a vertical line (realized as a layer) for a bilingual project. My question is: 1. How can I set this line on all pages? 2. How can I control, on which pages it is set, and on which not? I tried it with state=start/stop/repeat, but that did not work. Here my try: \definelayer[mybg] [x=0mm, y=0mm, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayer[mybg] [hoffset=10cm, voffset=4cm] {\blackrule[width=1pt, height=\vsize, depth=0.5ex]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybg] \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \starttext \input knuth \page \input knuth \stoptext Thanks for help.

[***SPAM***] heading in margin -> strange extra vertical spaces
by Zenlima 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi, I want to display the lowest heading in the outer margin. But as soon the simple text becomes a heading, a strange extra line appears on top of the margin. In my minimum example below the first paragraph shows how it should look like in the pdf-file; the second paragraph is with a heading in the margin. Can anyone tell me, a) how to get rid of the unwanted extra vertical space? b) Why is the line-break in the margin of the second paragraph different than above? Thanks, H. ------8<--------------------------------------- \definesection[section-8] \definehead[myheader][][number=no,before=,style=\bf,aligntitle=yes,section=section-8] \starttext \inouter{Hasselt makes headlines} \input tufte \inouter{\myheader{Hasselt makes headlines}} \input tufte \stoptext

Alternative rendering of some TOC levels
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hello, how to change the way ("alternative") how a particular level - e.g. sections - are rendered in TOC? I tried: ---- \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=c] \setuplist [section] [alternative=b] %\setupcombinedlist % [content] % [section] % [alternative=b] \starttext \placecontent \chapter{Ch} \section{Sec} \subsection{SSec} \input knuth \stoptext ---- This should change the "alternative" for section to be "b" (i.e. page numbers without filling dots), whilst the default look should be "alternative" "c" (i.e. dots and page numbers). But my code doesn't produce the desired result - all TOC members are using "alternative" "c". What is the true way to achieve it? TIA. Best regads, Lukas -- Ing.

Blank page when using natural table.
by john Culleton 04 May '13

04 May '13

this is an annoyance rather than a deal breaker, but why does this file generate a blank page numbered one and then the table? --------------------------------- \setuppapersize[letter] \setuplayout{margin=0.5in,topspace=0.5in} \starttext \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] \bTABLE \setupTABLE[frame=on] \bTR \bTD foo \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ---------------------------------------------- I tried it with [doublesided=yes] and no parameter at all. Same results. First a blank page numbered 1, then the table on the second page. -- 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
