(again) bug with bidi direction and \about references
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi Hans, sorry for telling again, but I’m afraid that the following sample shows a serious buggy interaction between \setupdirections[bidi=on] and \about references. \setupdirections[bidi=on] \starttext \section[sectionone]{Section one} As said in \dorecurse{5} {\about[sectionone]\footnote{Body reference misplaced.}, } \stoptext Both \about and footnote references in body are misplaced. It would be great, if you could fix this. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

next beta
by Hans Hagen 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi The next beta will have this (I needed it for a manual): \starttext \starttabulate[||CL{darkred}|CM{darkgreen}CT{white}|CR{darkblue}||] \NC first \NC left \NC middle \NC right \NC last \NC \NR \NC first \NC \color[white]{left} \NC middle \NC \color[white]{right} \NC last \NC \NR \NC first \NC left \NC middle \NC right \NC last \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext i.e. we already had CL CM and CR, so CT is new .. should be wikified.

Define a new command from the command \periods[n]
by Fabrice Couvreur 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hi, Is it possible to redefine the command \periods[n] to have a line that goes from the end of the word to the edge of the page without having to play on the number n ? Regards, Fabrice \starttext \startitemize[a][stopper=),style=bold] \item $x\mapsto -x^2+x+1$ : \periods[66] \item $x\mapsto 2x^3+4x-7$ : \periods[65] \item $x\mapsto x^2-3$ : \periods[70] \item $x\mapsto \frac{x^2+x}2$ : \periods[72] \item $x\mapsto (x-2)^2$ : \periods[69] \stopitemize \stoptext

Steps in presentation
by pol stra 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

Hello, I tried to use some steps in a presentation. In the following conversation http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg53524.html, Wolfgang says that we can use the pre-60 module. So I tried this snippet: \usemodule[pre-stepwise] \starttext \StartSteps \startitemize \item one \FlushStep \item two \FlushStep \item three \FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stoptext But it does not compile: ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.11 20:36 MKIV fmt: 2012.9.12 int: english/english system > cont-new.mkiv loaded (/opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv ) fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language en is active (pre60.tex resolvers > modules > loaded: 'pre-stepwise' (/opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/s-pre-60.mkiv fonts > beware: no fonts are loaded yet, using 'lm mono' in box (/opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/java-imp-stp.mkiv) interactions > javascripts > loaded: library 'stp' metapost > loaded: library 'nav' (/opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/meta-imp-nav.mkiv)){/opt/context-minimals/texmf-fonts/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' {/opt/context-minimals/texmf-fonts/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/opt/context-minimals/texmf-fonts/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map} fonts > virtual math > unable to resolve name mapsfromchar fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt is loaded !LuaTeX error: There should have been a lua <node> here, not an object with type string! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Is there something broken in recent release of conteXt? By the way It seems there is no Rawsteps module anymore but it still is in the wiki. Is there is something like a bugtracker for conteXt, in order to signal when a feature is not working or outdated and signal when it is back (or definitly depreciate)? (it would be a complementary tool for the mailing list)

\preventmode does not work
by Rik 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

At least in MKIV. I haven't tried MKII. The following example should demonstrate this. With no mode specified on the command line, this should enable mode three and prevent and disable the other modes. It seems that \preventmode is not only ineffective in what it is described as doing, but also disables the following \disablemode! Or perhaps I am misusing this or misunderstand what it should do. (2014-08-29 20:57 standalone) \definemode[one][keep] \definemode[two][keep] \definemode[three][keep] \define\ModeOne{nil} \define\ModeTwo{nil} \define\ModeThree{nil} \startmode[one] \define\Mode{one} \define\ModeOne{set} \disablemode[two,three] \stopmode \startmode[two] \define\Mode{two} \define\ModeTwo{set} \disablemode[one,three] \preventmode[one] \stopmode \startnotmode[one,two] \define\Mode{three} \define\ModeThree{set} \enablemode[three] \preventmode[one,two] \disablemode[one,two] \stopnotmode \starttext Mode is \Mode. ModeOne is \ModeOne. ModeTwo is \ModeTwo. ModeThree is \ModeThree. Mode \doifmode{one}{one}\doifmode{two}{two}\doifmode{three}{three} is active. \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

Strange error with bookmarks
by Michał Goliński 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

While trying to make a longer document with ConTeXt I stumbled into a strange error with the latest beta (I spotted it for the first time some time ago). For the following file: \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] \placebookmarks[part,chapter][part,chapter][number=no] \starttext \chapter{0} \startpart[title={A}] \chapter{1} \chapter{2} \stoppart \startpart[title={B}] \chapter{3} \chapter{4} \chapter{5} \chapter{6} \chapter{7} \chapter{8} \chapter{9} \chapter{10} \stoppart \completecontent[criterium=all] \stoptext ConTeXt would generate a file in which the link for chapter "6" is not working. Neither the link in the table of contents works nor the link in the generated PDF bookmarks. When removing the second line, the link in the table of contents doesn't work, but everyting is ok if one removes the table of contents. What seems even more weird for me, the problem goes away if one removes *any* chapter. It persists for chapter "6" even if chapters are distributed differently between parts without changing their order. Am I doing something wrong? I hope someone might be able to help. Best regards Michał

Use url to hyperlink bibliography title
by Thangalin 04 Oct '14

04 Oct '14

Hi List, How do you make a hyperlink for a bibtex entry's title using the entry's URL? The bibtex entries include articles, techreports, inproceedings, books, and so forth. I can work around the issue by duplicating the URL as follows. For example, save this as "sources.bib": @inproceedings{schryen@security, author={Schryen, Guido and Rich, Eliot}, title={\bibhref{Increasing software security through open source or closed source development? Empirics suggest that we have asked the wrong question}{http://epub.uni-regensburg.de/21293/}}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences}, series={HICSS '10}, year={2010}, isbn={978-0-7695-3869-3}, pages={1--10}, numpages={10}, doi={10.1109/HICSS.2010.228}, acmid={1748219}, publisher={IEEE Computer Society}, address={Washington, DC, USA}, url={http://epub.uni-regensburg.de/21293/}, } Here is a short example that uses the sources.bib file: \setupbibtex[database=sources] \setuppublications[ alternative=num, sorttype=cite, ] % Superscript citation cross-references. \setupcite[num][ left=\raisebox{1ex}\hbox\bgroup\tfxx, right=\egroup, ] \definecolor[WPexternal][h=B93507] \setupinteraction[ state=start, ] \def\WPHyperlink{% \setupinteraction[ style=normal, color=WPexternal, ]% } \define[2]\bibhref{% \WPHyperlink {\goto{#1}[url(#2)]}% } \starttext \startbodymatter \startchapter[title={Title},] \startsection[title={Transparency}] The complete source code is open for analysis and development.\cite[schryen@security] \stopsection \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \completepublications[criterium=text] \stopbackmatter \stoptext The title is hyperlinked, but mixes presentation with content and duplicates the URL. Note that the colour is also changed to match the other external links in the document. Thank you.
