Hi, Sorry to be a pain: %%<tst01.tex Inline $\sqrt{1.2}$ math. % same for $\root n of x$ \end %%> $ luatex --fmt luatex-plain tst01.tex This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) (format=luatex-plain 2014.5.7) 7 MAY 2014 11:48 \write18 enabled. **tst01.tex 8<....

Text background that spans the width of the page
by Darksair 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi all, I would like to have a colored horizontal stripe as background for one line of text. Sort of like what textbackground does, but I want it to span the whole \paperwidth, instead of just \textwidth. At the end of the day, I would use it to style for example my section heads, or to highlight one specific \item. What’s the best way to do it? -- Fear is the path to the dark side.

Vertical alignment of \placefigure[right]
by Mojca Miklavec 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi, I would like to vertically shift the placement of figures (\placefigure[right]...), so that the upper side of the figure would be aligned with the top of the first line in a paragraph as opposed to the bottom of the first paragraph. Here's a minimal example. The second "ugly workaround" shows what I'm trying to achieve, but ideally using a cleaner approach. Does there exist a magic keyword for that? \starttext \hrule \placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}} \input knuth % ugly workaround \hrule \vskip-11pt \placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}} \vskip11pt \input knuth \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

How to place a verbatim environment in the text such that the following paragraph is not indented?
by Thomas Möbius 07 May '14

07 May '14

Dear list, how do I place a verbatim environment in the text such that the following paragraph is not indented? I expect the environment to behave the same as the formula-environment. How can I achieve this? --- minimal example --- \starttext \setupindenting[1.3em] \setupindenting[yes] \definetyping [R] [options=R, style={\ss}, before={\startframedtext [width=.975\makeupwidth, frame=off, bottomframe=on, topframe=on, background=screen, backgroundscreen=.95]}, after={\stopframedtext}, bodyfont=9pt, margin=1.3em] \input ward You can use the following syntax \startR f <- function(x) x^2 \stopR to define a function. (Begging of line should not be indented.) \input ward Have a look at \startformula f(x) = x^2 \stopformula where $f$ is a function. (No indent as expected.) \input ward \stoptext

Dear Sir, I am new to ConTEXt. I am using the below mentioned coding in a TEX file and try to compile it in ConTEXt to get a .DVI output.

\pm set too low in MkIV?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 May '14

07 May '14

Continuing my recent theme of finding glyphs too low or too high: The \pm symbol looks like it is set too low, in MkIV. \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext $\pm2$ \stoptext The minus part of the sign lies below the baseline, which looks odd relative to the horizontal stroke of the "2." In MkII it is fine, as is the equivalent latex or plain tex (using LatinModern). I don't know whether the problem lis in the font metrics or in the positioning by MkIV, because I haven't yet been able to convince tex, latex, lualatex, or luatex to use the same font (LM math). In MkIV, the font is (from pdffonts): NSOXNN+LatinModernMath-Regular CID Type 0C Identity-H Can anyone confirm the problem? -Sanjoy

first xcell dimension to large in xtable with external figure.
by DesdeChaves 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear Sirs, I would like to write a tecnhical document that looks like the DIN standards style. I found in this Wolfgang's message ( http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/076348.html) inspiration for do that. All works great if the sentence \externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=3cm] are commented, otherwise the cell "Doc No." is to large relatively the other cells in the last column. What is wrong with this code? thanks in advance.

LuaTeX-Plain and OTF/TTF Fonts
by Aire Funvake 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear Group, Thank you for your time. I'm starting out with TeX/ConTeXt, but want to arrive via LuaTeX (`luatex-plain.tex/fmt`). Managed to build, move and use `luatex-plain`. Have the same problem under MacOSX & Win7 (here is the Win-specific decription -- `%CTX%` is my ConTeXt root): Placed some fonts under `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\minion\` & `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\myriad`. Executed, the following commands, recognising there might be redundancy, but not sure): mtxrun --script fonts --update --force mtxrun --script fonts --update --simple mtxrun --script fonts --update mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=minion Result: minionpro minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf minionprobold minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf minionproboldit minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf minionprobolditalic minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf minionproit minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionproitalic minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionpronormal minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionproregular minionproregular MinionPro-Regular.otf `hello.tex` - luatex-plain test file: %[luatex-plain] Hello % font\T =minionproregular at 12pt\T Hello world. \bye Executed: luatex-plain hello.tex Result: fonts : font with asked name 'minionproregular' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts : unknown font 'minionproregular', loading aborted ! Font \ch=minionproregular at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. Looked in `%CTX%\tex\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\generic\fonts\data` at the file `luatex-font-names.lua`. The fonts were listed. Then deleted the `luatex-font-names.luc` file, added the full paths to the fonts in front of all the file names in the `.lua` file. Running `luatex-plain hello.tex` again, works now as expected (it seems to recreate the `luatex-font-names.luc` automatically). Setting `OSFONTDIR` before font update and/or before running `luatex-plain`, have no observable effect. So, I do have a manual fix/solution. But is there an easier way? Thanks in advance, -- Aíre Funvake
