options for \setuppapersize
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Dear list, I’m trying to explain the options of \setuppapersize in a book, but I’m not sure they work. With latest beta from 2014.06.15 15:54, this is the results I get with a minimal document such as: \setuppapersize[A5] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext I cannot make the options mirrored, rotated, 90, 180, 270 and negative work. Do they work as expected or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

understanding elements and \blank
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Dear list, if I’m not wrong, elements are defined and configured in ConTeXt with \defineelement and \setupelement in the preamble of the document. Then they can be invoked using the identifier as a command. \definemargindata[MyMarginData][location=outer] \starttext \MyMarginData{Zapf}\input zapf \stoptext My question is; why are blank elements different? \defineblank[MyBlank][10*big] \starttext \input zapf \blank[MyBlank] \input zapf \stoptext Sorry for the basic question, but I’m trying to understand the reason why to explain it to others. Are there other elements that cannot be invoked with \identifier? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

reading modules broken?
by Meer, H. van der 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

My modules are not read anymore, allthough Context thinks it does. This must have been the case for some time. I ran a test with an older version which demonstrates that the change in behaviour must have occurred after january second. Minimal example follows. Hans van der Meer Module code in file module-test is: \writestatus{HVDM}{Module has been read} \endinput Test code in file moduletest.tex is: \usemodule[module-test] \starttext module testing look into the log. \stoptext In the log I find: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) \write18 enabled. open source > 1 > 1 > /Users/hansm/tex/context-20/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2014.06.05 23:04 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.6.6 int: english/english open source > 2 > 3 > /Users/hansm/tex/test-tex/modules/moduletest.tex resolvers > modules > 'module-test' is already loaded <-- wrongly thinks it is loaded It says the module is already loaded, but the telltale \writestatus is absent. Running the same code with an older version of ConTeXt does load the module: ConTeXt ver: 2014.01.02 20:05 MKIV current fmt: 2014.1.2 int: english/english (/Users/hansm/tex/test-tex/modules/moduletest.tex resolvers > modules > 'module-test' is loaded <-- loads as it should (module-test.tex HVDM > Module has been read

Lilypond
by David Wooten 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Greetings all, it’s been quite a while since I tried to use lilypond snippets in a context file. Looks like we’re now using the filter module… can someone post a small working example file to get me started? —there are a number of different & some incomplete approaches to be found, none of which work :) Kind regards, David

11 Jun '14

Dear Hans, many thanks for the beta from 2014.06.11 15:52. All wrong page breaks due to subtitles that I reported to this list (I think they have been four) seem to be fixed with this beta. Many thanks for your work, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

by Flavien Lambert 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hi everyone, could you tell me how to use the Ubuntu font for the math command \max in the following example? \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [Ubuntu] [regularfont=ubuntu,italicfont=ubuntuitalic,boldfont=ubuntubold] \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [math] [Ubuntu] [preset=math:lowercaseitalic,tf=name:ubuntu] \definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext $ abc \max$ abc max \stoptext I am also interesting by knowing where I can find all the features "preset=math:" possible. Best regards, Flavien.

question about italic correction
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear list, I would like to show the difference with italic correction (as well as with expansion and protrusion). I have the following sample: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \definefontfeature[noitlc][default][itlc=no] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] \starttext {\em of}) \adff[noitlc] {\em of}) \stoptext Is there no way to show italic correction enabled and disabled in the same document? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

alternative \about for \section?
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startsection[title={Section}, label={different section label}, reference={key:section}] \about[key:section] \stopsection \stoptext I thought that label would give me an alternative section title in references. Is there any way to get it? BTW, what is the purpose of label? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Pagebreak forced after mixedcolumns (new bug?)
by Joshua Krämer 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear list, I have updated to the latest beta today, and I can no longer put text after \stopmixedcolumns on the same page. \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startmixedcolumns Left \column Right Right \stopmixedcolumns Something after the columns \stoptext There should be no pagebreak after \stopmixedcolumns. It works with \start... \stopcolumns, but then the column break (\column) is ignored. It worked before with mixedcolumns, but I don't know when I updated the last time. Kind regards, Joshua

bug with \setuplist?
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Dear list, sorry for posting this issue twice, but I wonder whether it went unnoticed because I added it in an answer to an already replied message. I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \setuplist[part][after={\blank[samepage,big]}] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{4}{\part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} \chapter{Chapter}} \stoptext AFAIK, no \part could be the last line of a page in the contents. Well, I’m afraid this isn’t the case. Could anyone confirm whether I am doing something wrong or this is bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
