[+-OT] reducing pdf file
by Andrea Valle 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Dear, I made with NodeBox software a large vectorial image (I can export in pdf). the idea is to use it as a cover for a ConTeXt project. The problem lies in its size: 220 Mb. Could anyone provide a method (if any) for reducing the size? The image is made by a combination of many small pdf images, so I guess that the resulting size depends on linear combination of all images size, that are preserved (sorry, I’m an ignorant on the pdf format). Thanks a lot Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - StudiUm Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.fonurgia.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanderaalle/sets/ --> http://vimeo.com/vanderaalle --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- "This is a very complicated case, Maude.

standard setup values for titles in heads and lists?
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Dear list, where in the source can I find the standard configuration for titles in heads and lists? I have looked at strc-lst.mkvi, but there I couldn’t find anything about the default configuration values for any sectioning command. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

[bug?] no space before \cite[data][] and after \abbreviation
by pol stra 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hello, I used "see \cite[data]" in a document and I obtained "seeAuthor" without space between "see" and "Author". I think it is a bug. I also had troubles with abbreviations (although it might be a bad use from myself): setting "\abbreviation{AB}{Abbreviation}" "an \AB some text" will give "an ABsome text" => missing space after abbreviation "an {\AB} some text" will give "an AB some text" => OK "an \infull{AB} some text" will give "an some text" => missing expanded abbreviation setting: "\definesynonyms[abbrev][abbrevs][\infull] \setupsynonyms[style=normal] \abbrev{AB}{Abbreviation}" "an \AB some text" will give "an ABsome text" => missing space after abbreviation "an {\AB} some text" will give "an AB some text" => OK "an \infull{AB} some text" will give "an Abbreviation some text" => OK Is it bugs or I do something wrong ? Best regards,

Two levels of itemization with the 'intext' option
by Maggyero 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Aditya finally gave me a great solution on Stack Exchange: > One way to achieve this is to explicitly set the width of each symbol, and align the symbol to > the right. Visually, this is give the output that you want. For example: > \definesymbol[emdash][---] > \setupitemize[1][packed, intext][symbol=emdash, width=2em, itemalign=left, distance=0.5ex] > \setupitemize[2][packed, intext][symbol=emdash, width=3em, itemalign=left, distance=0.5ex] So the complete solution is: \definesymbol[emdash][---] \setupitemize[each][packed, intext][% itemalign=left, symbol=emdash, distance=\spaceamount] \setupitemize[1][width=2em] \setupitemize[2][width=\dimexpr 3em + \spaceamount \relax] \setupitemize[3][width=\dimexpr 4em + 2\spaceamount \relax] \setupitemize[4][width=\dimexpr 5em + 3\spaceamount \relax] \starttext \startitemize \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \startitemize \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \startitemize \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \startitemize \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \item Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. \stopitemize \stopitemize \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext

larger dot using \dot?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Dear list, Is there an easy way to enlarge (and maybe slightly raise) the dot in, for example, $\dot V$? I tried using \overset with an external figure (a pdf of a filled circle), but the \hbox inside \overset meant that subscripts weren't tucked in. I also failed with metafun. -- -Sanjoy

blank overlay
by john Culleton 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

I need a graphic (a thumbnail) on the right hand pages but not on the left hand pages. Following the instructions in the Metafun Manual page 168 I have assigned different pairs to the two overlays: \startuseMPgraphic{right page} ... \stopuseMPgraphic and \startuseMPgraphic{left page} \stopuseMPgraphic In the left hand area I want to just create a minimal structure that replaces the right hand graphic overlay. What is the minimal code I can use between the start and stop statements? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Unable To Render Table With Over 3000 Rows
by Neal Lester 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

When I attempt to render a table with more than about 3000 rows I get the following error. Searching the archives I found one message suggesting that [save size] is hard coded and cannot be increased. The application is rendering business reports; they are relatively simple documents but we definitely need more than 3000 rows. Is there a way to configure context to render tables of this size?

Broken floats when using postponing.
by Alan BRASLAU 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hello, The following minimal example yields an error using the latest version from the garden: \starttext This is before \in{Figure}[fig:cow] \startpostponing [+0] \startplacefigure [reference=fig:cow] \externalfigure [cow] \stopplacefigure \stoppostponing and this is after. \stoptext tex error > error on line 3 in file virtual://page.nopage.1: ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup \strc_floats_stop_place ...unwantedspaces \egroup l.3 \stopplacefigure <empty file> The problem appears with the use of \startpostponing\stoppostponing (used to prevent a paragraph break in the middle of the sentence).

Thumbnail sample.
by john Culleton 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

The wiki shows two thumbnail samples. I like the first one. But I want to use MKIV. When I do the first sample blows up on the second chapter entry. Obviously there is some code in sample 1 that doesn't work under MKIV. By a process of elimination it centers on the thumbnail description proper. The file looks like this: --------------------------------------------------- \unprotected \def\rawsectionnumber#1{\countervalue{\??se#1}}%will be in kernel \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=thumbs] \defineoverlay [thumbs] [\setups{thumbs}] \def\NOfChapters{4} % i need to make this one available \startsetups thumbs \definemeasure[thumbheight][\dimexpr\paperheight/\NOfChapters\relax] \vbox to \paperheight \bgroup \vskip \rawsectionnumber{section-2} \measure{thumbheight} \vskip -1 \measure{thumbheight} \doifoddpageelse\hfill\donothing \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=darkgray, frame=off, foregroundcolor=white, height=\measure{thumbheight},width=1cm] {\bfa \rawsectionnumber{section-2}} \doifoddpageelse\donothing\hfill \vss \egroup \stopsetups \starttext \chapter{first} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter{second} \dorecurse{10}{\input davis } \chapter{third} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } \chapter{fourth} \dorecurse{10}{\input bryson } \stoptext ----------------------------------------------- It works under MKII but not under MKIV. The error message occurs after the first chapter. But the chapters by themselves work OK.
