Some problems with a new style for the sections
by Fabrice Couvreur 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hi, I encounter two problems : - Section numbers are not red ; - Calling the second section does not cause the creation of a new paragraph. Regards, Fabrice \setupcolors[state=start] \def\MySectionCommand#1#2% {\framed [frame=off, width=\textwidth, align={right}, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray] {#1\quad#2}} \setuphead[section][command=\MySectionCommand,numbercolor=red] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext \MySectionCommand{A.}{Définitions} \input knuth \MySectionCommand{1.}{Propriétés} \input knuth

Empty heads after leading whitespace
by Maggyero 05 May '14

05 May '14

For those who are interested, I've finally solved my problem (the vertical space before a subsection which was not automatically swallowed at the top of a page when the page started with an empty section) by using the pair 'after={\vskip 0em\blank[disable]}' for sections: \setuphead [section] [placehead=empty, page=yes, after={\vskip 0em\blank[disable]}] \setuphead [subsection] [placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \setupheadertexts[section] \showframe \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{2} {\section{My section} \dorecurse{2} {\subsection{My subsection} \input knuth}} \stoptext

When you apply features to a font you can set a list of features and all of them will be applied. In the example below you can see both methods, the first text uses the new featurelist “testfeature” which uses “default” and extends it with “protrusion=quality”. The second text applies the two predefined lists “default” and “quality” (which sets “protrusion=quality” and “expansion=quality”). \setupalign[hanging] \definefontfeature[testfeature][default][protrusion=quality] \showframe[text][text] \starttext \startfont[Serif*testfeature] \input knuth \stopfont \startfont[Serif*default,quality] \input knuth \stopfont \stoptext Wolfgang

Proper setting of font features for protrusion/expansion
by Jan Tosovsky 04 May '14

04 May '14

Dear All, e.g. in the last example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Protrusion there is the following definition: \definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] I understand it overrides default settings and adds these two features. In my code I use the following shortcut found somewhere: \definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default, quality}] Both features works, but I am not sure if I am getting the best quality. Is there any description what that '[features={default, quality}]' option really does? Thanks, Jan

Thank you very much for the reply. I switched to ConTeXt standalone and now it is working. Best, Michael This works: \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][script=hebr,ccmp=yes] \setmainfont[Ezra SIL SR][features=hebrew] \setupdirections[bidi=on] \starttext בְרֵאשִ֖ית בָרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ \stoptext BTW what is the \definefontfamily syntax that would work with \setupbodyfont in the new post-simplefonts era?

Empty heads after leading whitespace
by Maggyero 03 May '14

03 May '14

Thanks Wolfgang. I could even have sections in the TOC with '\setuptexttexts[{\placerawheaddata[section]}]'. However, how can I start a new page at each new section? The 'page=yes' pair does no longer work with your solution 'placehead=hidden' (since the head is not placed I guess). I also tried 'before=\page' or 'after=\page' without more success. Here is a minimal example showing the absence of page breaks though I specified 'page=yes' (the section numbers are also mismatched but if one puts manual page breaks they match again, so it's not really a problem for me): \setupheadertexts[\namedstructurevariable{section}{title}][] \setuphead [section] [placehead=hidden, page=yes] % <-- This key does NOT work. \setuphead [subsection] [placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \setuptexttexts[{\placerawheaddata[section]}] \showframe \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{2} {\section{My section} \dorecurse{2} {\subsection{My subsection} \input knuth}} \stoptext

A more explicit minimal example of the problem: \setupheadertexts[section] \setuphead[section][% placehead=empty, before=, after=] \setuphead[subsection][% placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \starttext \showframe \section{My section} \subsection{My subsection (whitespace before: problem)} \input knuth \subsection{My subsection (whitespace before: fine)} \input knuth \page \subsection{My subsection (NO whitespace before: fine)} \input knuth \subsection{My subsection (whitespace before: fine)} \input knuth \stoptext

Standalone
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 03 May '14

03 May '14

On my system I already have Cygwin. I want to install the standalone Context. Which involves basically: mkdir -o /opt/context cd /opt/context wget "http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh chmod 744 first-setup.sh ./first-setup.sh #this works up to this point only partially. - /opt/context/tex is not installed. This is a bad error. It causes - first-setup.sh to fail. And what is loaded will cause conflicts with cygwin which already exists, I believe. I can't see why rsync is use to load anothe versio of rsync in a diff location. #1. Why does 1st setup duplicate Cygwin dlls? I've hurd that having multiple cygwin*.dlls can cause problems. Besideds They already exist and so does luatex.exe for that matter. 'first-setup.sh' should know that it does a test for CYGWIN, but doesn't seem to do anything with it. #2. Also redundant and confusing is first-setup.sh forces the fetching of rsync by an already existing rsync. Is rsync already exists, why fetch another one and put it in a different location. I have texlive for unix on a cygwin platform, on top of an XP system. I want to make installing the standalone easy for cyginw and linux. # # Firstly, exactly what packages are needed for context? # I assume it's one or more of the mtx prefixed programs below. Please advise. - mtx-update.lua - mtxrun.exe - mtxrun.dll - mtxrun.lua - lua52.dll - luatex.dll Is this needed in addition to luatex.exe? - luatex.exe <Note: cygwin has luatex.exe same functionality?> - kpathsea620.dll <Note: TeXLive has kpath related code> I understand that there are not a lot of people experimenting with the latest ConTeXt and even less for the Cygin platform. But, I would like to make it easer and clearer for Cygwin users who do want to experiement with the latest versions. I don't know if installing for a native linux version is easier or more straightforward or not. Regards.

Bibliography,\placepublications[criterium=section]
by Louis-solal Giboin 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi all, I am using \placepublications[criterium=section] in order to have a bibliography at the end of each section. The trouble is that the references already cited in the precedents sections won't appear. Is there an option to modify that, or another trick to have all the publications desired at the end of every sections? Many thanks, I wish you a nice week end Louis-Solal
