Making font smaller in \starttyping environment?
by Mari Voipio 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Hello, I know I should be able to do it (and think I've done it once upon a time), but how do I change the font size just for \tt and for \starttyping \stoptyping environment? I have no problems with the font used, I just want my typed text to be a tad smaller (like \tfx for that font). Once again I feel very bewildered in the font land... Thanks, Mari

setuplabeltext doesn't adjust the part label (with MkIV)
by Sanjoy Mahajan 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

setuplabeltext doesn't seem to adjust the part label. Here's a minimal example: \setuphead[part][placehead=yes] \setuplabeltext[part=Part~] \starttext \part{pt} This is a part. \stoptext With MkIV (e.g. on live.contextgarden.net) the part heading is just "1 pt". With MkII, it is "Part 1 pt" as expected. (setuplabeltxt does work for chapter labels, with either context version.) -Sanjoy

ConTeXt in the cloud
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Dear gang, Since I work with context at both my home and my work machines, I'm thinking of moving my context tree to dropbox and just keeping that one tree updated. Have any of you tried something like this, and are there any unforeseen issues that could arise? Or are there any other thoughts about running ConTeXt as a personal cloud application?

Dear list is there a way to \setupalign and \setuptolerance globaly? In tabulate- or frameenvironement for example they are reseted. MWE: \definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino,11pt] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setuptolerance[horizontal,stretch] \starttext \subject{Normal Text} align working, tolerance working. \input knuth \subject{Table} Table resets align/tolerance: \starttabulate \NC aling/tolerance not working \NC \input knuth \NC\NR \NC align/tolerance working \NC \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setuptolerance[horizontal,stretch] \input knuth \NC\NR \stoptabulate \subject{Frame} Framedtext resets align/tolerance: \startframedtext[width=0.6\textwidth] aling/tolerance not working \input tufte \stopframedtext \startframedtext[width=0.6\textwidth] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setuptolerance[horizontal,stretch] aling/tolerance working \input tufte \stopframedtext \stoptext Thanks!

Bug with mathmatrix row-spacing in \startalign
by Andreas Halkjær 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hello, I hope I'm doing this right. I discovered a bug where the spacing between rows becomes too large in a mathmatrix when used in between \startalign and \stopalign. I posted on StackExchange and was told to report it here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/130636/context-wrong-mathmatrix-spac…<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/130636/context-wrong-mathmatrix-spac…> I've included the MWE, from the above link, below. Thanks for the quick response, Andreas From \setupmathmatrix[left={\left[\,}, right={\,\right]}] \starttext \startformula \startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NR \NC 2 \NR \NC 3 \NR \stopmathmatrix \stopformula \startformula \startalign \NC \startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NR \NC 2 \NR \NC 3 \NR \stopmathmatrix \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext

Arabic and Latin hemistiches
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear gang, Re: Arabic poetry thread: Hans has just implemented high-level support for hemistiches and caesuras (using here the technical names for the style of poetry structure used in Arabic and other classical literature). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemistich http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesura With the latest beta, run the attached file. The module m-hemistich.mkiv also has a demo inside. For Arabic, note the tatweel across columns (only manual for now). The separator option with \hemistiches is probably more useful for Latin and Greek classical literature etc where the separator occurs on every line; the \hemistichescaesura option is probably more useful for Arabic where there are only occasional connectors across columns. Could one of you kindly add a page with this info to the wiki? Much thanks and enjoy!

zero-width joiners etc
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear gang, Does anyone here remember how to toggle Unicode control characters like the zero-width joiners, non-joiners etc? For example, some fonts map the control character to a symbol but we usually don't want that symbol showing up in normal text output. I know there is (used to be?) a switch in MkIV for toggling this but can't find it. (BTW: I miss the searchable mail archives on the ConTeXt Garden...)

Re: [NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Continuous preview

Because I have no experience with Pearl: What to do with this text-file of your link? Should I just copy it as text-file in the same folder, where the contex files are stored in, or do I have to install any pearl-interpreter first? Some instructions to get this working here would be nice :) Huseyin
