[***SPAM***] trouble with kerncharacters
by Dmitriy Tokarev 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi, I noticed that after the command \kerncharacters, I can not use the normal sequence "---" for em-dash. Is there any work around of this effect? Thanks. \starttext One monolithic symbol: --- \kerncharacters[.5] Three separate symbol: --- \stoptext -- Dmitriy

TexLive 2013
by Wim W. Wilhelm 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Dear all, I switched from context: TexLive 2012 to context:TextLive 2013. All figures in my text, placed like the following example: \placefigure[none,left]{}{\externalfigure[c:/context/tekeningen/hemelbol.pdf][height=6cm]} are placed in the middle of the page, and the text is not wrapped around the figure. I tried also the "2*line" option, without succes. Does there exist a list of differences between context:TexLive 2012 and TexLive 2013 ? I appreciate any help. Cheerio, Wim W. Wilhelm

Hi Mari, I cannot help you with your particular problem other than suggesting to give TeXShop a try. I have used it for many years and it has never given me any problem whatsoever. Just to make sure, I updated the standalone today (beta with all goodies) and again no problem. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Tagged PDF
by D. K. 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

Hi everyone, in my quest to generate tagged pdf's that meet nowaday's accessibility requirements (it seems to me that tags are the major hurdle when using tex), I came around context. There is a very interesting article on how to generate tagged pdf's with context mkiv. http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb31-3/tb99hagen.pdf A quick sample run of the examples shown in the above pdf with context however doesn't yield a nice result. Checking with the pdf accessibility checker http://www.access-for-all.ch/en/pdf-lab/pdf-accessibility-checker-pac.html for example, the generated pdf fails completely and is not considered to be tagged. Could someone point me in the right direction? Is there any kind of tutorial or minimal example from where I could work on? Are there any (hidden) options that need to be set in order to activate tagging support? kind regards

problem with lua io.lines
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi, after a long time I'm playing with ConTeXt again… Current beta MkIV seems to have a bug in the Lua function io.lines: for myline in io.lines(myfile) do logs.report(myline) end "myfile" just contains one line with a number, without return/newline. If the number has more than one digit, I get single digits as "myline". Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

slow compilation?
by Pablo Rodríguez 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Dear list, although I cannot find it now, I sent a message to the list describing that I suspected ConTeXt wasn’t as fast as it should on my computer. Here you have a minimal sample: \starttext \input knuth \stoptext It takes about 3.5 seconds total runtime to compile. Is this the standard required time? Actually what I wonder is why the compilation requires three runs to output the final document. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Wrong font size in footer
by Aditya Mahajan 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Hi, There is bug in which the font style of the page leaks into the footer style. Here is a minimal example: \setupfootertexts[This is a footer \the\lineheight ] \setuppapersize[A6] \definestartstop[test][style=\tfx] \starttext \subject {Normal page} \input knuth \subject {Wrong footer size} \starttest \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \par} \stoptest \stoptext As the output indicates, the font size of the footer on the first two pages is 12.068pt while that of the third page is 14.481pt.
