White Space in Running Headers
by Neal Lester 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

What is the best way to obtain precise control over the space between lines in a multi-line running header. I need to be able to set the font size within each line by point size. Different lines may have different font sizes (indeed, there may be different font sizes within a single line). I've tried a number of approaches but always seem to end up with unexpected white space somewhere. Thanks, Neal

Tikz calendar translation
by DesdeChaves 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Dear Sirs I need to represent a calendar in Portuguese language. You want to use the Tikz calendar package, but the result is unsatisfactory (please see attach). The problem is in the translation of the names of months and days of the week. How can I fix this problem? Thanks in advance. Jorge %%%% test code \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[calendar] \language[pt] \starttext \tikz \calendar [dates=2014-09-01 to 2015-04-31, month list,month label left,month yshift=1.25em] if (Sunday) [black!50] % GROUP 1 if (between=2012-08-09 and 2012-08-12)[orange] if (between=2012-06-01 and 2012-06-03)[orange] if (between=2012-04-05 and 2012-04-07)[orange] if (between=2012-12-22 and 2012-12-27)[orange] % GROUP 2 if (between=2012-09-10 and 2012-09-15)[blue] if (between=2012-08-17 and 2012-08-21)[blue] if (between=2012-06-29 and 2012-07-02)[blue] if (between=2012-05-14 and 2012-05-21)[blue] % GROUP 3 if (between=2012-11-02 and 2012-11-09)[darkgreen] if (between=2012-01-01 and 2012-01-27)[darkgreen] ; \stoptext

new beta
by Hans Hagen 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. This one has some new font code - the generic code now uses the context code as of 2014-12-01 - that code uses a slightly faster access method - it works in plain but for latex the wrapper might need to be adjusted (as the base pass is now integrated) The context code uses a newer font handler that has - more extensive discretionary support (esp kerning and ligatures) - a new injector (not faster, only cleaner and suitable for the newer code) that i have tested for quit a while now If there are problems they can probably be fixed fast. A side effect can be that the result of runs is slightly different (more kerning and so). I have no clue about performance but it should be ok.

Primes again in math
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 02 Dec '14

Hi! A possible bug in latest standalone: \starttext $u''(t)$ \stoptext yields u'(t) (one prime!). Is there a quick fix? I have a lot of '' in my file, so it would be nice not to have to change all of them... Result is attached. /Mikael

beta
by Hans Hagen 01 Dec '14

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The most interesting new thing is that the Lua based hyphenator is now better integrated. I showed that one (plus some features) at the last context meeting, and decided to clean it up a bit and prepare it for extensions. It might become the default hyphenator at some point. Performance is quite ok, especially when you take into account that the amount of time spent on hyphenating is not that large. You can test it with: \setuphyhenation[method=traditional] enables it and as by default we are a bit more tolerant to what a word is, you can enforce a more strict behaviour with \sethyphenationfeatures[strict] It is possible to control some aspects (even within a paragraph) but some of that is experimental. I'm working on a manual that explains details about how hyphenation works and how one can write plugins. There is already support for explicit hyphens and joiners (the default set) and patterns as discussed in "Hyphenation in OpenOffice.org" (TUGboat, Volume 27, 2006) should also work; you can for instance register additional patterns like this: \registerhyphenationpattern[en][eigh1tee/t=t,5,1] But that's for the happy few who understand and/or love such weird syntaxes. Anyway, this is the time to ask for more if you are in need, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

nested itemize
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

The following code (using latest minimals) \starttext \startitemize[n] \item FOO \startitemize[a] \item Hello \item Good bye \stopitemize \stopitemize \startitemize[n] \item \startitemize[a] \item Hello \item Good bye \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext gives the attached pdf file, i.e. the second nested list is cut. Has something changed (I've been able to use nested lists before without having to use FOO or something inbetwen (as in the first example)? I tried to reinstall, but the same problem appeared again. Best regards, Mikael
