Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening?

(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

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.

authors in the toc
by Andrea Valle 11 Apr '15

11 Apr '15

Dear all, as I’m working on a book that is a collection of essays by various authors, I need their names in the toc. I’m using mkiv and the command start chapter, in the first argument specifying the author param. I’ve explored the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents) but I don’t get it. Can anyone provide some hints? Thanks a lot! -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.

Can I use mkii and mkiv side by side?
by Gerben Wierda 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

I have a finished mkii project and I’d like to be able to export it to a format that can be a start for other distributions (such as epub or the like). For this, I get the impression I need mkiv. Now, before I go on trying to move my project to mkiv I have a question. Can I run mkii and mkiv side by side? That is, if I configure my TeX setup for mkiv (I am using MacTeX 2014), can I still fall back to the old setup when I fail? Second, is there some step-by-step instruction to move a project from mkii to mkiv? G

font search path and subfolders
by Jörg Weger 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

In my Linux home folder I have the usual “~/.fonts/” folder in which I have put subfolders “~/.fonts/opentype/” and “~/.fonts/truetype/”. Inside those subfolders I would like font families to have their own subfolders. When I set the font search path by running export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts/opentype;$HOME/.fonts/truetype" from the command line followed by mtxrun --script fonts --reload only the fonts in the /truetype/ subfolders are recognised. This means I have to put all my opentype fonts directly into the /opentype/ folder. On Stackexchange I found a solution http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/209705/context-system-font-search-pa… which says that putting “//” after the folder made the search recursive, but neither export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts/opentype//;$HOME/.fonts/truetype//" nor export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts//;$HOME/.fonts//" works for me. What am I missing? (Typo maybe?) Being able to put opentype font families into subfolders as well would be a great help to keep a clear view of all my fonts. Greetings Jörg

Grey background for pages belonging to last section of every chapter
by Rob Heusdens 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Hello list, For the last section of every chapter I want a grey background for the text, which otherwise should look the same as every other section, except that it starts on a new page (I can set that by defining my own section command). The last section summarizes the chapter. My current implementation is using a frame: \defineframed[achtergrond] [frame=off, background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, width=fit, height=fit, offset=2ex, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] And use it as: \achtergrond{ \section{Last section} \startitemize[n] \item ... \stopitemize } But this does not accomodate sections longer then a page. And I can't place \page command in the middle of an itemize, and using \stopitemize, \startitemize[continue] makes the pages vary in sizes. Is there some way to achieve the desired effect (grey background behind the text, and otherwise page layour identical to other sections) without the problem that text exceeds the page size? Greetings, Rob PS. The defined frame is also used elsewhere, but the last section should in fact not have normal alignment like the other sections.

section with \sethupead[section][alternative=text]; other type of section misbehaves..
by Rob Heusdens 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

When using \setuphead[section][alternative=text] I noticed two things: 1. There is an extra space (horizontally) directly after the section heading. I can't get a grip on how to get rid of it. 2. A different type of section (define with \definehead[summary][section] seems to alter it's behaviour due to a \setuphead[section][..]. Shouldn't the summary behaviour be independend of what one sets for section? Here is a MWE that shows the problem: example 1: \defineblank[sprong][.5cm] \definehead[summary][section] \setuphead[section][number=no,style=bold,before={\blank[sprong]},after=,alternative=text,indentnext=no] \setuphead[summary][number=no,style=bold,before=,after={\blank[sprong]},beforesection={\noindentation\page\starttextbackground[SummaryBackground]},aftersection={\stoptextbackground\page}] \setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[yes, small, next] \definetextbackground [SummaryBackground] [frame=off,frameoffset=0pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, backgroundoffset=2ex] \starttext \section{First sentence. Second sentence.}\input zapf \summary{Summary}\input zapf \stoptext example 2: \defineblank[sprong][.5cm] \definehead[summary][section] \setuphead[section][number=no,style=bold,before={\blank[sprong]},after=,alternative=text,indentnext=no] \setuphead[summary][number=no,style=bold,before=,alternative=paragraph,after={\blank[sprong]},beforesection={\noindentation\page\starttextbackground[SummaryBackground]},aftersection={\stoptextbackground\page}] \setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[yes, small, next] \definetextbackground [SummaryBackground] [frame=off,frameoffset=0pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, backgroundoffset=2ex] \starttext \section{First sentence. Second sentence.}\input zapf \summary{Summary}\input zapf \stoptext Adding [alternative=paragraph] for summary solves this problem, and is at least a workaround, but that should not be necessary. My main problem though is how to get rid of that extra horizontal space after the normal section heading. The next sentence should align just like the section is a normal sentence itself (only typeset as bold). Is there a solution for that? Many thanks. Greeting, Rob -- attached (example 1 = test5a.pdf; example 2 = test5b.pdf)

More headache with \setuphead
by Rob Heusdens 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Related post: section with \sethupead[section][alternative=text]; other type of section misbehaves.. Hello list, It seems I have more problems with \setuphead, which I can't get hold on. This time content misbehaves in way I can't understand. Here are the relevant definitions/commands: \setuphead[chapter] [header=nomarking, command=\MyChapterCommand, aligntitle=yes, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] \setuphead[content] [command=, textcommand=\MyContentCommand] What I expect this set of definitions to do is to indeed perform \MyChapterCommand for a chapter to typeset the title of a chapter. For the table of contents, I hoped that it would not do the command, which I set for chapter (by clearing that option with =,), and instead perform the textcommand \MyContentCommand. However from my output it is clear that the table of content still does \MyChapterCommand. As a workaround, I postponed setting \setuphead for chapter till after the content. But why does this not work? Even if content is supposedly doing the same thing as chapter does, it I make thereafter changes to content, and in fact "undo" the command setting and instead direct it to perform a textcommand, I don't expect it to still perform \MyChapterCommand. But it does that. Below the definitions for both commands: \define[1]\MyContentCommand% {\framed[frame=off,offset=none,frameoffset=0pt] {\vbox{\blank[4cm]\Word{#1}}}} \define[2]\MyChapterCommand% {\framed[frame=off,offset=none,frameoffset=0pt] {\vbox{\blank[4cm]{\small \headtext{chapter} #1}\blank\unhyphenated{#2}}}} Can anyone advise? Thanks, Rob
