Hello, The following lines do display the markings: \definemarking[M] \marking[M]{Cool} \setupheadertexts[{Marking: \getmarking[M]}][{Marking: \getmarking[M]}] \starttext Hello world! \stoptext but if I use a section block environment they do not: \definemarking[M] \marking[M]{Cool} \setupheadertexts[{Marking: \getmarking[M]}][{Marking: \getmarking[M]}] \starttext \startbodymatter Hello world! \stopbodymatter \stoptext How can I get markings working inside section block environments?

passing arguments to \processMPbuffer
by Jeong Dal 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Dear all, For \startuseMPgraphic, there is a way to do that (found in metafun book) as following: \startuseMPgraphic{Labels}{s, t} numeric u; u:= 1cm; for i=0 upto 7: label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), \MPvar{s}[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ; label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), \MPvar{t}[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ; endfor; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \placefigure[][]{} {\useMPgraphic{ColoringFace::Labeling}{s=0.8, t=1.3}} \stoptext Is there a way to the same job for \processMPbuffer instead of .5 and .7 in buffer? \startbuffer[Labels]%{s, t} numeric u; u:= 1cm; for i=0 upto 7: label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), .5[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ; label (textext("$v_{" & decimal (i) & "}$" ), .7[origin,3u*dir(30*i)]) ; endfor; \stopbuffer \starttext \processMPbuffer[Labels]%% ?{s, t}? \stoptext Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Deleting The Blank Before Chapter Titles

20 Apr '14

Hi, I am customizing my chapters’ style. However, I cannot delete the blank before the printing of chapter titles. I tried: \setuphead [chapter] [before={}] \setuphead [chapter] [before={\blank[none]}] \setuphead [chapter] [before={\blank[back]}] but they do not work. Thank you, Best wishes, Joas.

Can \doifoddpageelse alter topspace?
by Rudolf Bahr 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hello Contexters, is it possible to alter topspace somehow according to \doifoddpageelse? Or have I to use vertical page lists? I'd need this for composing a doublesided book in landscape mode with binding at the upper edge. Kind regards, Rudolf

Automated Regression Testing for Typeset Material

Hi, An idea to test the final output: # Create PDFs for all tests. cd $REGRESSION for i in *.tex; do context-beta $i done # Convert all PDF pages to images. for i in *.pdf; do convert $i $(basename $i .pdf)%0d.png done # Note any differences between images. for i in *.png; do if diff $i $ORIGINAL/$i >/dev/null ; then echo "pass" else echo "fail" > $i.log fi done

Unwanted whitespace for tables and enumerations after \inmargin headings
by Rik Kabel 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

(This appears to be the same issue which was raised by Alexandros Frantzis in October 2008; see the thread at http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg32125.html. No resolution was proposed at that time, and the problem still exists.) Extra whitespace occurs before itemizations and tabulations (and quite possibly other structures) which appear immediately following an in-margin heading. The following example illustrates this. \setuplayout [backspace=7cm,leftmargin=6cm] \setuphead [chapter][] \setuphead [subsection] [alternative=normal,command=,distance=1em] \setuphead [subsubsection] [alternative=normal,command=,distance=1em] \setuphead [section][distance=0pt, alternative=text, command=\MarginHead] \define[2]\MarginHead{\inmargin{#1 #2}} \startbuffer[Item] \startitemize \item Item \item Idem \stopitemize \stopbuffer \startbuffer[Table] \starttabulate[|l|l|] \FL\NC Entry \NC one \NC\NR \NC Entry \NC two \NC\NR\LL \stoptabulate \stopbuffer \starttext \chapter{Itemize} \section{No extra whitespace} With text here there is no extra whitespace before the itemization. \getbuffer[Item] \subsection{No extra whitespace} With text here there is no extra whitespace before the itemization. \getbuffer[Item] \section{Extra whitespace} \getbuffer[Item] With no text before the itemization there is extra space after the heading. \subsection{No extra whitespace} \getbuffer[Item] With no text before the itemization there is extra space after the heading. \chapter{Tabulate} \section{No extra whitespace} With text here there is no extra whitespace before the table. \getbuffer[Table] \subsection{No extra whitespace} With text here there is no extra whitespace before the table. \getbuffer[Table] \section{Extra whitespace} \getbuffer[Table] With no text before the table there is extra space after the heading. \subsection{No extra whitespace} \getbuffer[Table] With no text before the table there is extra space after the heading. \stoptext Is this unresolvable? Like Alexandros, I have tried many of the options that looked appropriate, but nothing seems to work. -- Rik Kabel

Baskervald ADF Virtual Math Fonts

>> >> >> >> Hello, >> >> >> >>> Replacing certain symbols in a math font with a text font is very easy with the fallback >> >>> mechanism and the \definefallbackfamily command makes things even simpler. >> >> The command \definefallbackfamily seems not to be a typescript-level command. You need a newer version of ConTeXt to get that command. Ok. You may also answer my question: Let us consider the statememt: \definefontfallback [BaskervaldOverPagella] [file:BaskervaldADFStd-Italic] [0x1D44E-0x1D467] [\check=yes,force=yes] I understand it as: “Replace the glyphs 0x1D44E-0x1D467 (mathematical a-z) of the source font with the glyphs from Baskervald italic having the same code.” But how do you map 0x1D44E-0x1D467 of the source font to 0x61-0x7a. How do you say: “Replace the glyphs 0x1D44E-0x1D467 (mathematical a-z) of the source font with the glyphs 0x61-0x7a (text a-z) from Baskervald italic”? For example something like: \definefontfallback [BaskervaldOverPagella] [file:BaskervaldADFStd-Italic] [0x1D44E-0x1D467] [0x61-0x7a] [\check=yes,force=yes] Thank you, Joas

Hi, Thank you all. The commands of Wolfang work perfectly. The fallback mechanism is even easier than virtual fonts. ConTeXt is truly great. Thank you, Joas.

OT: looking for a "soviet" font
by Henning Hraban Ramm 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Hi typographibians, for a new project I’m looking for a body font that fits Soviet Modernism. I’d like to have OpenType, high typographical quality, good readability as body text, latin and cyrillic glyphs. Free would be great, but I’d also buy. Do you have a hint for me? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
