Section in golden ratio?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 Jul '13

Hello, I'm trying to setup section to be placed vertically in the golden ratio of the page, i.e. cca 2 "units" above the section and 3 "units" bellow. How to achieve this? My code so far is: ---- \setuplayout[page] \define\bef{\page\hbox to\textheight\bgroup\vfill\vfill\fi} \define\aft{\vfill\vfill\vfill\egroup} \setuphead[section] [before=\bef,after=\aft, %commandbefore=\cbef,commandafter=\caft, alternative=middle, ] \starttext \section{AAA} \stoptext ---- The position is quite OK, but there is error "Too many }'s ..." during compilation... What's the problem? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

\showsetup not working?
by Pablo Rodríguez 03 Jul '13

Dear list, I think I have used once or twice in the past, but has \showsetup been deprecated? When I try to compile: \starttext \showsetup{language} \stoptext I get: ! Undefined control sequence. Is there a replacement for \showsetup. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

nasty crash
by Meer, H. van der 03 Jul '13

A nasty crash occurs with no helpful output in the log. It seems likely to arise from a complicated hbox, because the log ends abruptly in: \hbox(80.33+74.07002)x426.78 The output on the console isn't helpful either, I merely get: pages > flushing realpage 12, userpage 8 mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted This log message isn't closed with a newline. Of course I tried to construct a minimal example, but did not succeed. When I isolate the page where the execution crashes then no error occurs. It might be something in ConTeXt, but also something in luatex. Any idea how I can collect more information for trying to pinpoint the problem? Hans van der Meer

PdfXChange Viewer (slightly related to "Overriding pdfview")
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 01 Jul '13

Hello, as I saw many pdf viewers being supported by "--autopdf=...", there is one more (my favourite; Windows) - basic version is free but powerful, fast, keeps last view for each document; allows auto-reopen lately opened docs; enables copy-to-clipboard (text/image); annotations; allows simply open the document with all other installed pdf viewers; bookmarks; page thums; layers; attached files; many printing opts including n x m pages per sheet; ... http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer It might be good to support this viewer, too, for completeness. Command line options (copied form the manual): " Command Line option The PDF-XChange Viewer may be started with a PDF file or URL name as the first item on the command line. This facilitates starting the Viewer in File Associations or using Windows ShellExecute. The form of the command line for using this option is: PDFXCview.exe [command] [filename1] [[filename2] [… [filenameN]]] Where command can be one of the following commands: /A "param=value [&param2=value [&...]" /close[:save|discard|ask] /print[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&printer=<printername>][&pages=<pagesrange>]] /printto[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&pages=<pagesrange>]] <printername> /exportp <setting_file_name> /importp <setting_file_name> /RegServer /UnregServer /usep <setting_file_name> " Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Exactly what I was thinking: pavneet@darjiling:~$ more .mailcap application/pdf; evince %s I like evince because it also doesn't lock the PDF file, and auto-refreshes the view when updated. It also has/can have a space efficient toolbar structure, which works great on my little netbook: Asus EEE 701 running Bodhi Linux off an SD card---my favourite writing environment by far. So no wrapper needed except for first invocation which puts evince in the background. My own work environment is a bit like an old-school IDE: - tmux with side-by-side panes for vim editing and document compilation. - different tmux "windows" for different documents being worked on. - evince on one of the adjacent workspace to preview. <CTRL><ALT><RIGHT|LEFT> to quickly switch back and forth from edit-compile to test workspaces. > Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:25:06 -0400 (EDT) > From: Aditya Mahajan <adityam(a)umich.edu> > To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> > Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview > Message-ID: > <alpine.LNX.2.02.1306271320220.24744(a)ybpnyubfg.ybpnyqbznva> > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > Or, simple read the mailcap preference or use a program such as > run-mailcap or see which choose the viewer based on mailcap > preferences. > > I am half joking here; don't go down this route.
