Two column layout with footnotes do not work as expected
by Dr. Thomas Möbius 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Hi, footnotes in two column layouts are typeset at the bottom of the respected column but with the width of two columns. Expected: 1) Either footnotes spanning the whole page from left to right at the bottom of the page. 2) Or have the footnote be restricted to one column only. How can I achieve the former? I would be thankful for help. Best, Thomas mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.61 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2015.07.01 21:40 Minimal example: On the first page, footnotes run into each other. On the second page, footnote runs into text. \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \definestartstop[abstract] [before={\blank\midaligned{\bf Abstract}\startnarrower[2*middle]}, after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}] \definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2] \starttext \title{Two Column Layout with Footnotes Spanning Page} \startabstract Footnotes start at the wrong place. And why is blank[big] ignored after this abstract? \stopabstract \godown[1em] \startcolumnset[TwoColumns] \section{The first} This is a test.\footnote{Why do footnotes only span this one column and don't go across the whole space?} \input knuth \footnote{Why do footnotes only span this one column and don't go across the whole space?} \input knuth \input knuth \footnote{Why do footnotes only span this one column and don't go across the whole space?} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stopcolumnset \stoptext

Can you make a minimal example for and explain what you expect. You should also rethink the negative value for the width key. Wolfgang

Is it a bug that will be addressed, or is the fix coming with a new release of the new bibliography system, or is it something that has to be worked around? I also note that the method=font option for \setupdelimited text appears to be incompatible with the left option for \startquotation. The document compiles, but [left] appears as part of the text and is not acted on (and similarly for right and middle). -- Ri

Problem with setuptagging and ebgaramond font, also hsize question
by Rik Kabel 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

With the following example, there are no hyphens where words are broken across lines. When the \setuptagging line is removed, or the state changed to stop, hyphens appear as expected. So far I have only seen this with the ebgaramond font using a current standalone beta (ConTeXt ver: 2015.10.09 21:28 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.10.21) running on Windows 10 Pro x64. With TL15 ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2015.10.10 int: english/english hyphens are printed with or without \setuptagging[state=start]. I also notice that the \hsize directive is ignored after the 4th iteration of zapf. That is, the first four paragraphs are constrained to the specifice hsize, and the remaining iterations are set at the full textwidth. This occurs with all fonts and without regard to the tagging setup. That is, remove the first two lines of the example and that problem persists. \setuptagging[state=start] \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond] \starttext \hsize7cm \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \stoptext What am I doing wrong? -- Rik

Usage of ConTeXt in Digital Humanities
by Jan U. Hasecke 22 Oct '15

I just stumpled upon this: http://www.bbaw.de/en/telota/software/ediarum "Print edition With the help of ConTeXt a print edition is automatically generated as a PDF from the TEI XML document. Each TEI element is given a specific formatting command through a configuration file. In this way the different apparatuses appear as footnotes that refer to the main text with the help of line numbers and lemmata. The print edition can also provide the suitable index for each transcription and solves any occurring cross references between manuscripts." juh -- Demeter und die Allmende des Seins https://www.amazon.de/dp/B008G4Z2I2 Spekulativer Essay wider die Ahnenlosigkeit und die Anmaßung des Eigentums.

markings and syncing
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

Hi, I'm trying to set up a header: if a page contains only one marking, it should display this, if it has more than one, display the first and last. Here's what I tried, unsuccessfully: \definemarking [test] \startsetups [test header] \doifelse {\expanded{\getmarking[test][top]}} {\expanded{\getmarking[test][bottom]}} {\getmarking[test][top]} {\getmarking[test][top] and \getmarking[test][bottom]} \stopsetups \setupheadertexts [\setups{test header}] \starttext \marking[test] {One} \input knuth \marking [test] {Two} \page \marking [test] {Three} \input tufte \stoptext How can I make the \doifelse work? I'm not sure I understand the keywords top/bottom, first/last, and previous/next. Thomas

Using Flow Charts
by Keith McKay 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Colleagues I'm in the process of setting up a family tree using the Flow Charts module in Context. There are two things I would like to do but I haven't been able to figure out. They may or may not be possible. 1) Is it possible to have different named \setupFLOWlines for use between cells e.g. to vary length between cells, or to make a double line, or to connect in the middle of another connecting line? 2) Is it possible to offset the cell rows so that they would look like bricks stacked in a wall by offsetting alternative rows, or even offsetting different amounts between cells? I have looked through the Charts Uncovered manual and the wiki but nothing has jumped out at me. Any suggestions on a way forward? Also, I've noticed that the link for the Flow Charts creator on the Flow Charts wiki page takes me to: ___________________________________________________________ Forbidden You don't have permission to access /context/ on this server. ____________________________________________________________ Thanks and Best Wishes Keith McKay

PDF/UA Support
by Andrew Dunning 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Dear list, I am beginning to see increasing need for PDF/UA (ISO 14289) files. Earlier this year, the US Access Board announced an update to the rules for the accessibility of electronic documents produced by the government that embraces the standard, which I expect will make it much more prominent. XeTeX cannot produce PDF/UA, and it seems unlikely that it ever will, but unless I am misreading the documentation it appears that ConTeXt has already implemented the necessary functionality. If this is so, it would be helpful to have a page discussing its use in parallel to <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A>, and I would even suggest making PDF/UA the default for documents that do not have conflicting commands. The PDF Association seems to be pushing this as the future of the format; if this is so, this is an opportunity to bring ConTeXt to much greater prominence. All best, Andrew Dunning PhD Candidate Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto http://andrewdunning.ca
