Stretching only specified columns with Natural Tables
by Joshua Krämer 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hello list, I'm using the Natural Table macros to typeset some tables in the following way: \starttext \setupTABLE [frame=off, option=stretch, textwidth=\textwidth] \setupTABLE [row] [odd] [background=color, backgroundcolor=gray] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD One \eTD \bTD Two \eTD \bTD Three \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Now I would like to have the additional space (which is gained by stretching) be distributed only /between/ the columns, or, in other words, leave the last column unstretched. I would need something like this: \setupTABLE [column] [last] [width=default] I don't want a fixed width on the last column, it should have the default width. I can't use "\setupTABLE [column] [...] [width=broad]" for all columns but the last, because instead of distributing the space equally, it makes all "broad" columns the same width, and instead of leaving the other columns untouched, it makes them narrower. Thanks and kind regards, Joshua

bug in \setupsectionblock[...][page=no]
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Apr '14

Dear list, here you have the sample: \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no] \setupheadertexts[chapter] \starttext \startbodymatter \part{Zapf} \chapter{Digital typography} \dorecurse{15}{\input zapf\par} \stopbodymatter \stoptext I’m afraid that the first line of code is preventing the header to be displayed in the last two pages. I’m afraid this might be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Re: [NTG-context] Adjusting overbar for a special font

> as 'ex' is bad font that font, you can try 'em' : > > \setupbars[overbar][offset=1.2,unit=em,rulethickness=.05] Thanks Hans, that worked quite well. Not perfect independent from the size, as you can see in the attached image, but perfect enough for my case, as the sizes differ not soo much (only 1-2pt). Huseyin

\starttext \showlayout \stoptext Is it the intended behaviour that I get the layout setting four times?? Herbert

> http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/070738.html > > Wolfgang > Thanks Wolfgang, but this solution is not independent from the size of the font, and so had to be adjust for each size again (bad for my project, where the font-size changes on nearly every page). Which unit has this offset? \setupbars[overbar][offset=3] I tried the font-independent unit em \setupbars[overbar][offset=3em] but that does not work. Huseyin

Adjusting overbar for a special font
by "H. Özoguz" 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hello there, I tried to overbar an arabic word, and noticed, that the bar is too low and overlaps the letters. While producing a minexample, I noticed that this might be a issue of my font, because this does not happen with Arial. See this minexample: \definefont[arial][name:arial*arabic at 12pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 12pt] \starttext \startalign[r2l] \arial كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ \overbar{وَٱسْجُدْ} وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ \arabicuth كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ \overbar{وَٱسْجُدْ} وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ \stopalign \stoptext and compare the compiled pdf in attachment. You can download the used font-file "UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf" here: http://fonts.qurancomplex.gov.sa/download/UthmanicHafs1Ver09Font.zip We have discussed this font here month ago, hans commented: "yes, but calling this a normal font is somewhat over-the-top" So it is quite "special" - but still best available font (free or commercial) for typesetting the holy quran. But setting the bar a bit higher should be easily possible, independent of these font-lacks, right? The solution should be independent from the chosen font-size. Thanks! Huseyin

Hi, I haven't yet been able to reproduce this in a minimal example, but I'm trying to place some images within a mixedcolumns environment, and I get an error message I have never seen before: pages > flushing realpage 5, userpage 5 Node 1150 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1406 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1373 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1228 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1195 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1114 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1127 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1074 has an attribute list that is free already Node 2011 has an attribute list that is free already Node 2268 has an attribute list that is free already Node 2116 has an attribute list that is free already Node 2030 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1981 has an attribute list that is free already Node 1953 has an attribute list that is free already Node 3055 has an attribute list that is free already Node 2889 has an attribute list that is free already luatex: ../../../source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/texnodes.w:1985: delete_attribute_ref: Assertion `varmem[(b)].hh.u.B0==attribute_list_node' failed. mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted% This is with context 2014.03.28 15:04 and luatex 0.78.2 on linux 64-bit.

Bug: Overlapping Text
by Thangalin 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hi, The second page of the following document has overlapping text in the second column (this has been as minimal as I can get): \setuphead[section][before={\testcolumn[4]},] \starttext \startmixedcolumns[align=right, balance=yes, grid=strut,] \dorecurse{5}{ \startsection \startitemize[inbetween={\blank[.25em]},] \item{Item} \item{Item item item item item item item item} \dorecurse{2}{\item{Item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item}} \item{item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item} \dorecurse{3}{\item{Item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item}} \item{Item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item} \stopitemize \stopsection } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext Changing the \testcolumn value from 4 to anything else has no effect. Removing it altogether, however, does affect the outcome.
