Hanging punctuation misalignment in footnotes
by Jan Tosovsky 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

Dear All, when hanging in footnotes is enabled and the starting character is a punctuation, it is not protruded. However, the same character in the footnote body works fine. When both cases are close each other, it looks weird, see the screenshot: http://drifted.in/other/footnote_alignment.png Would it be possible make this behaviour uniform - either do not protrude it on the starting (left) edge or protrude it everywhere? Thanks, Jan

different page sizes on one sheet
by amerke 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

hi, i'm new to the list and also pretty new to ConTeXt (but I used LaTeX for a lot of years), but need a quite complicated page setup right in the beginning: i have a combination of two A5 pages and four A6 pages and i'd like to put them on one double sided A4 paper sheet (please use monotyped font to see the scheme correctly) +----------+----------+ | | | | A6 | | | | | +----------+ A5 + | | | | A6 | | | | | +----------+----------+ the same for the back page. in the end cutting the A4 sheet should let the A5 pages and A6 pages undestroyed :-) i have tried combining \setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm] \setuparranging[XY] but didn't get a satisfying result because of different page sizes involved ... any ideas? cheers artur ps. here my starting point: \setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2, dx=0mm, dy=0mm] \setuparranging[XY] \showframe[cut=true] \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \starttext Page 1. A5 Portrait \page \setuppapersize[A6][A4] Page 2. A5 Portrait \page Page 3. A6 Portrait \page \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] Page 1. backside A5 Portrait \page \setuppapersize[A6][A4] Page 2. backside A5 Portrait \page Page 3. backside A6 Portrait \page \stoptext

setupenumerations overwriting setupitemize
by Thomas Möbius 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

A general question. I use setupenumerations to define theorem-, lemma-, and definition-environments for my document. I realised that setupenumerations is overwriting keys that are set in setupitemize (and groups defined by defineitemgroup). ~~~snip~~~ \setupenumerations [numberconversion=numbers] \starttext \startitemize[a] \item Text Text \item Text Text \stopitemize \stoptext ~~~snip~~~ vs. ~~~snip~~~ %\setupenumerations [numberconversion=numbers] \starttext \startitemize[a] \item Text Text \item Text Text \stopitemize \stoptext ~~~snip~~~ This is unintuitive for me.. Is this expected behaviour??

glyph path
by Peter Rolf 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, I tried the "Dcaron" example from the MetaPost manual (page 50) and it works nicely when called with "mpost". % Dcaron.mp fontmapfile"=lm-ec.map"; beginfig(56); picture q; path p; interim ahlength:=12bp; interim ahangle:=25; q:= glyph "Dcaron" of "ec-lmr10" scaled .2; for item within q: p:= pathpart item; drawarrow p withcolor(.6,.9,.6) withpen pencircle scaled 1.5; for j=0 upto length p: pickup pencircle scaled .7; draw (point j of p -- precontrol j of p) dashed evenly withcolor blue; draw (point j of p -- postcontrol j of p) dashed evenly withcolor blue; pickup pencircle scaled 3; draw precontrol j of p withcolor red; draw postcontrol j of p withcolor red; pickup pencircle scaled 2; draw point j of p withcolor black; endfor endfor endfig; % ------- But how can I get the glyph path(s) with luatex (mplib)? Minimal example (glyph.mkiv) and console output are attached (log is empty). Looks like I can't use 'fontmapfile' and without it the glyphs are not found. Peter

Disappearing Columnar Text
by Thangalin 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Hi, When using "\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes,grid=strut]", how would you put a 0.5em vertical space between a subtitle and a list of items? The following code gives a simple example: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=pT5tcXfc Uncommenting the following line hides the list items under "Subtitle A": %after={\vskip-0.5em}, See: http://i.imgur.com/wFIkRZY.png Removing a list item from the end of the list for "Subtitle C" makes the items appear again. For example, change the last "\dorecurse" macro to: \dorecurse{7}{ \item {a list item} } How can I tweak the amount of space between a title before a list while using a two-column layout without causing the content to disappear? For reference: http://i.imgur.com/2EysUWp.png Thank you!

Re: [NTG-context] Indenting after floating image
by Thangalin 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Ah! I was going to suggest that, but thought you wanted a solution that didn't involve manual adjustments... I also thought I tried adding "\indentation" to the "PlaceFigure" macro, but it didn't work (probably because of it being embedded inside another set of braces).

\setuplist[alternative=inmargin, sectionsegments=section]?
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupheads\setuphead[chapter][sectionsegments=chapter, align=center] \setuphead[section][alternative=inmargin] \setuplist[section][alternative=d, style=\itx] \starttext \placecontent \startfrontmatter \dorecurse{2}{\chapter{Chapter} \dorecurse{10}{\section{Section}\input zapf}} \startfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{2}{\part{Part} \dorecurse{2}{\chapter{Chapter} \dorecurse{10}{\section{Section}\input knuth}}} \stopbodymatter \stoptext My question is: how can I achieve \setuplist[chapter][alternative=inmargin] and \setuplist[section][sectionsegments=section]? I know these options are not implemented for \setuplist, but I think they would be extremely useful, if they were implemented. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\asciimode not working when in \footnote

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext {\asciimode It works in body%.}\footnote{But not in footnotes {\asciimode %}.} \stoptext I’m afraid \asciimode cannot be included within a footnote. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
