\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] in latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Dear list, I have the following sample that I cannot compile with latest beta: \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] \starttext Text\footnote{Text.}. \stoptext numberconversion=numerals seems to be the problematic part. Has this option been changed or is it a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

suppressing console output
by Lars Huttar 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello, I'm running context mkiv, version: 2013.05.28 00:36 (from the 2013 TeX Live CD). We're getting floods of output from context, including lots of Underfull hboxes, and the names of .tex files that are being opened and closed. This is all within a build script that does several other things besides running context. I'd like to suppress non-critical output from context so that other important output from the script doesn't get so easily lost. I'm already logging that output to a file, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of the console as well. I've tried the following command-line options to context, as suggested by context --help: --batchmode --silent --silent=typesetting --noconsole but none of these seem to have any effect on the output! I could just have the script discard stdout from context; I'm not sure how much of the output that would get rid of, but it may be good enough. However it's not ideal. (When an error occurs, as sometimes happens, I don't want the error message and its context to be hidden while the console waits for the user to respond blindly. I assume that would be on stderr anyway though...) Can anyone tell me how to suppress non-critical messages from context as it runs? Thanks, Lars

Index register page entry numbers missing
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

In the following example, page number entries in the index are not displayed when a blank line is inserted in the text, but do appear without that blank. This happens with both the current 20140316 standalone beta and with TL2013. (I noticed this constructing MWEs for other index register problems. It is likely not a problem in real life, but may provide insight into other issues.) \starttext Why do the entry page numbers disappear when a blank line follows this line, and reappear when the blank line is removed? (Current beta and TL2013.) \index{AA} \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik

Endnotes bug
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Using both TL2013 and the current standalone beta (2014-03-16) I see a spurious comma in index entries referring to endnote locations. The following MWE shows the problem: \setupnote[footnote][location=none] \starttext Index in endnote.\footnote{\index{Why a comma?}Endnote.} \placefootnotes \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik

Missinentries in index register
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Another index register buglet, possibly a regression. Two entries should be created, but only one appears. This does not occur with TL2013 context It does occur with the current (20140316) standalone beta. \starttext Why is there no AB entry in this index with current beta? (Not a problem in TL2013.) \index{AB}\index{AA} \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik

vertical alignment of margindata
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi, apologies for the slightly silly example, but I hope it shows my problem: from processing an xml file, I have material which is best typeset in some sort of table environment (I think). It also has some sort of sectioning mechanism which is displayed as margindata. If you typeset the example, you can see that these margindata are aligned to the bottom line of the table. Is there any way to make them align to the top? Bonus points if they are aligned with the content of the first table row (and not with the top border of the table). Thanks and all best Thomas \setuppapersize [A5] \setupbodyfont [times,12pt] \definemargindata [SYM] [left] [hoffset=1.5em,style=bold] \starttext \SYM{1} test \blank[line] \SYM{2} \dontleavehmode \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Hello \stopxcell \startxcell I want to make this line slightly longer to see what happens if it exceeds the width of the paper. \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell World \stopxcell \startxcell this line can be shorter. \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \blank[line] \SYM{3} \dontleavehmode \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Hello \eTD \bTD I want to make this line slightly longer to see what happens if it exceeds the width of the paper. \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD World \eTD \bTD this line can be shorter. \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] \SYM{4} \dontleavehmode \starttabulate[|lw(2cm)|p|] \NC Hello \NC I want to make this line slightly longer to see what happens if it exceeds the width of the paper. \NC \NR \NC World \NC this line can be shorter. \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext

\seeindex and secondary index (register) levels
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

How can I get \seeindex to refer to other than the top-level of an index entry? In the following MWE, I would like to link to /text+more/, not /text,/ and not /text+some/. That is, the highlight should include the name of the lower level(s). The actual link should be to the page with the entry for the reference text in the case that the top level is on one page of the index and the secondary entry on the next page. If this cannot be done, I can live with a separate \index{text, more} entry, but that is ugly when there are other text+something entries. I would also like to be able to specify the format of the reference, perhaps with before/middle/after keys. This would allow /text -> more/ or otherwise as my publisher's style guide may require. \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext Some text\index{text+some}. More text\index{text+more}. And more\seeindex{I want}{text+more} and more\seeindex{I get}{text}. \placefootnotes \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik

Blank page
by Philippe Figon 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello to you all, Forgive me if this is a newbie question, but I can't understand why when I try to compile this : -------------------------------------- \environment simple-env \starttext \chapter{} This is an example \stoptext ---------------------------------------- with simple-env file containing only ----------------------------------------------------------------- \startenvironment simple-env \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuphead [chapter] [page=right] \stopenvironment ----------------------------------------------------------------- The text only appears on page 3 and I can't never make start on page 1. But if I try this : ---------------------------------------------------------------- \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuphead [chapter] [page=right] \starttext \chapter{} This is an example \stoptext ------------------------------ It starts on page 1 as wanted. Is there something with the environment inclusion? Thanks

Dear list, I cannot compile the following sample with latest beta: \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont[mainface,14pt] \starttext \startitemize \item First item. \item Second item. \stopitemize \stoptext This worked fine with previous beta. Isn’t it a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
