The \setupnotation command replaced the old \setupnotedefintion command and a few setting like counter related values moved from \setupnote to \setupnotation but the layout of the numbers in the text body is still controlled by \setupnote. > When I saw 'hairspace' I was afraid the footnote mark can wrap to the next > line, but after some tests it seems to be a false assumption. Yes, \hairspace is a unbreakable space and will kep the number together with the last word. Wolfgang

unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua

Hi guys, I haven't played with ConTeXt for three month because of my examinations. Today, I delete the old version and reinstall a new one from the ConTeXt garden, but it seems that the new one can't run successfully. It says that unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua. The error messages is the following: mtxrun | forcing cache reload resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/home/peng/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path '/usr/bin/' from specification 'selfautoloc:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/bin/share/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/bin/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/bin/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path '/usr/' from specification 'selfautodir:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/share/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path './../texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/../texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path './' from specification 'selfautoparent:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path './share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path './share/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path './texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path './texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'context.lua' mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Best wishes, Tim

Strange behaviour with columnar itemized text
by Thangalin 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hi, I encountered two issues where itemized text within columns behaves unexpectedly. There appear to be two issues, possibly related. I will provide the shorter example first, which produces overlapping text on the second page (http://i.imgur.com/zMW6yk4.png) Changing \blank[.2em] to \blank[small] resolves the first issue. Removing inbetween={\blank[small]}, resolves the second issue. Given that changing the \blank command affects the results, I think they might be related somehow. I'm not concerned about the first issue -- changing ".25em" to "small" is fine. The second issue, however, leaves me perplexed for a solution to avoid the issue while maintaining the desired vertical whitespace (see (http://i.imgur.com/n46zEhf.png) between items. Any suggestions? Hopefully these are sufficiently minimal examples. ------------] 8< overlapping text 8< [------------ \setuphead[section][before={\testcolumn[3]},] \defineitemgroup[Instructions][inbetween={\blank[.25em]},] \starttext \startmixedcolumns[ align=right, balance=yes, grid=strut, ] \dorecurse{5}{ \startsection[title={Section},] \startInstructions \item{Preheat the oven to 400°F}\item{Put a few cups of salt in a gratin dish and level it off}\item{Place a little of the prepared butter mixture snail butter in an empty shell (about a teaspoon) and then put a snail in after it}\item{Put another blob of the snail butter on top until the snail is no longer visible in the shell (about a teaspoon)}\item{Do this for the remaining shells a layer of snail butter the snail itself and another layer of snail butter}\item{Now, push all the prepared shells into the salt in the gratin dish such that the shell openings are securely face up}\item{Make sure the shells to stay securely face up so that the snail cooks in the snail butter instead of the butter just leaking out}\item{If you have some special escargot dishes you can place the shells in them instead of the salt and gratin dish}\item{Ensure that the shells remain securely face up so that the snail cooks in the snail butter} \stopInstructions } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext ------------] 8< snip snip 8< [------------ The second, slightly longer example, shows text overlapping the footer region (http://i.imgur.com/vUNyDmk.png) and extending off the second page. ------------] 8< snip snip 8< [------------ \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \definestartstop[RecipeIngredientGroup] \definestartstop[RecipeInstructionGroup] \defineitemgroup[RecipeIngredients] \defineitemgroup[RecipeInstructions][ inbetween={\blank[small]}, ] \setupstartstop[RecipeIngredientGroup][ before={\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes,]}, ] \setupstartstop[RecipeInstructionGroup][ before={\startmixedcolumns[grid=strut,]}, ] \setupstartstop[RecipeIngredientGroup,RecipeInstructionGroup,][ after={\stopmixedcolumns}, ] \starttext \startRecipeIngredientGroup \startsubsection[title={Title},] \startRecipeIngredients \dorecurse{32}{\item{item}} \stopRecipeIngredients \stopsubsection \stopRecipeIngredientGroup \startRecipeInstructionGroup \startsubsection[title={Title},] \startRecipeInstructions \dorecurse{8}{\item{item}} \stopRecipeInstructions \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={Title},] \startRecipeInstructions \dorecurse{32}{\item{item}} \stopRecipeInstructions \stopsubsection \stopRecipeInstructionGroup \stoptext ------------] 8< snip snip 8< [------------
