[font-otn] bug in node mode
by Philipp Gesang 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi Hans, at least the Plain format breaks as soon as you define a font in node mode: \font \testfont = "lmroman10-regular.otf:mode=node" \testfont foo \bye Patch attached. Best regards, Philipp

much slower compilation with latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hans, I’m afraid there might be something wrong with beta from 2014.03.24 00:52. With a book I’m writing, either in complete (from a previous --purgeall) or partial (from previous .tuc and .log files) compilation, the latest beta needs 8 runs to compile a document. It takes about 140 secs with luatex and about 100 with luajittex. Document source is exactly the same in all cases. The same document with beta from 2014.03.07 11:42 (sorry, I don’t have the previous beta) requires a single run for a partial compilation which about 12 secs. Total compilation needs 4 runs that take about 50 secs. I think that the same may happen with the ConTeXt reference manual. Since compilation is not direct, all statistics I can provide is that it took 358.491 secs with latest beta from 2014.03.24 00:52. and 296.778 secs with previous beta from 2014.03.07 11:42. I guess there might be a bug here. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Different behaviours between header and footer
by Flavien Lambert 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Dear all, in the following example, header and footer behave differently, the frame at the bottom being out of the footer space. Could you tell me how to obtain a frame inside the footer like the header one? Thanks a lot, Flavien. \setupheadertexts[{\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\headerheight]{not offset}}][] \setupfootertexts[{\framed[frame=on,height=\footerheight]{offset}}][] \showframe \starttext \input knuth \stoptext

hyperlinks in latest beta?
by Alan Bowen 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

The following code produces the right cross-references but dead links, at least at my end. \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext Text A\reference[A]{}% Text B\footnote[B]{Text C.} \page once more \goto{Text A}[A] page \at[A] for Text A. Text C is on page \at[B] in note \in[B] \stoptext Is this a problem with the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2014.03.16 19:58 MKIV beta)? Alan

what happened to hangaround?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi again, I’d like to flow some text around a picture. There was undocumented \starthangaround (it’s still in cont-new.mkiv in the garden), but it’s unknown in latest beta. Is there a replacement? \starttext \starthangaround{\externalfigure[koe][width=0.33\textwidth]} \input tufte \stophangaround \input knuth \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

proposal about link borders
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

Hi Hans, many thanks for fixing the issue with links (and other two issues about PDF information). I have two proposals about hyperlinks, after having looked at an uncompressed file with hyperlinks. AFAIK, they haven’t been implemented (I have checked the wiki, the “ConTeXt Commands” documents, the reference manual, and the source [I apologize, if I have overlooked something]). My first proposal would be an option to have link borders enabled. I guess that something like \setupinteraction[linkborders=on] would be a good choice. With this option, one can have an interactive version and a printable version of a document in the same file. This is extremely useful in many scenarios. My second proposal would be an option to have colored link borders. \setupinteraction[linkbordercorlor=on] could be the option to enable color in link borders. I think both proposals could be useful for (at least for some) interactive documents. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Placing arbitrary pdf bookmarks
by Jean-Philippe Rey 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hello all, I am willing to use ConTeXt to produce a bunch of stickers. My stickers are grouped into categories but I don't want any headers or titles to interfere with the layout of the stickers, so I didn't use \startchapter and the likes. However, I would like to add pdf bookmarks in order to quickly jump to the start of a category. After taking a look at strc-bkm.mkiv, I tried the following \setupinteraction[state=start] \definelist[building] \definelist[aisle] \placebookmarks[building,aisle] \starttext \bookmark[building]{B1} \bookmark[aisle]{A1} Sticker 1 Sticker 2 \page \bookmark[aisle]{A2} Sticker 3 Sticker 4 \page \bookmark[building]{B2} \bookmark[aisle]{A3} Sticker 5 Sticker 6 \stoptext But it didn't worked. I didn't get any error message but no bookmark either. How can I directly add a bookmark to the pdf table of contents ? Previously I was using the ReportLab toolkit which provided for this purpose the bookmarkPage and addOutlineEntry functions. Is there a similar solution with ConTeXt ?

font bug in latest beta?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hans, is it possible that the latest beta has a bug in font handling? As far as I can see, all the usual TeX ligatures etc. do not work: \setupbodyfont[times] \starttext 1--2 o'clock \stoptext would be a minimal example. All best Thomas

issue with \processaction
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \def\CheckUser{\cldcommand{sprint(tex.vrbcatcodes,os.resultof"whoami")}} \def\UserNumber{\processaction[\CheckUser][ousia=>1, unknown=>user unknown]} \starttext This is user \CheckUser\ with number \UserNumber. \stoptext which gives me the following output: This is user ousia with number user unknown. What am I doing wrong here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
