Disable form fields, keep layout
by Henning Hraban Ramm 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

If I disable interactive elements with \setupinteraction[state=stop], my form fields (widgets) disappear. This is of course intended, but I’d like to keep their space, because otherwise my form layout breaks completely. Is there any option to disable form field generation, but keep their size (i.e. their framed structure)? I need the same form for print and for online use, and it’s inconvenient to kick the fields out using Acrobat Pro...

Regression with \doboundtext in \writetolist
by Rik Kabel 11 Oct '15

The following example works with older versions of ConTeXt, such as the version from 20150325 in my repository. It fails with TL15 and later, including the current standalone beta. % macros=mkvi \setwidthof {99}\to\IDWidth\relax \def\STWidth{\dimexpr\textwidth-\IDWidth+1cm} \definelist[OList] \setuplist [OList][criterium=all,alternative=c,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument] \starttexdefinition OLister #ID#String {\writetolist[OList]{}{\hbox{\simplealignedbox{\IDWidth}{left}{#ID\quad} {\doboundtext{#String}{\STWidth}{…}}}}} \stoptexdefinition \starttext \OLister1{Some list testing text xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx} \OLister2{Yet another list testing text xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx} \OLister3{A list testing text xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx} \OLister4{Different list testing text xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx} \subject{List half width} \startcolumns[n=2] \placelist[OList] \stopcolumns \stoptext With the 20150325 ConTeXt, there are .tuc file entries like: ["second"]="\\hbox {\\simplealignedbox {\\IDWidth }{left}{2\\quad }{\\doboundtext {Yet another list testing text xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx}{\\STWidth }{…}}}", but with more recent versions, the corresponding entry is: ["second"]="\\hbox {\\simplealignedbox {12.6pt}{left}{2\\quad }{\\hbox {\\setbox \\scratchbox \\hbox {Yet another list testing text xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx}\\scratchdimen \\dimexpr \\textwidth -12.6pt+1cm\\relax \\box \\scratchbox }}}", -- Rik

reference points with double colons (::) are not working
by Eidenbenz Michael 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Hello, I have double colons (::) in my reference points. (It's actually the same string I also use to refer to my publication database) But they wont show up as you can see in the example below. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks for your help and best regards Michael ----- \starttext \placefigure[here][img:cow]{This is a cow}{\externalfigure[cow.jpg]}\par \placefigure[here][img::mill]{This is a mill}{\externalfigure[mill.png]}\par The picture in \in{Figure}[img:cow] is a cow\par The picture in \in{Figure}[img::mill] is a mill (cross reference is not working)\par \stoptext -----

Fonts... bold smallcaps
by Willi Egger 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi all, sorry for bothering you with this. I have a font Seravek-Regular.otf and Seravek-Bold.otf. It is actually my company font. Now I needed to use bold-smallcaps. But I can not get it working, though otfinfo tells, that in the bold font there are smallcaps In my typescript file I have the following two lines, from which the Regular variant works perfectly well. \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Seravek-Regular] [features=smallcaps] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldCaps] [Seravek-Bold] [features=smallcaps] I tried to get bold smallcaps with \bf\sc but without success. Can anyone point me what to do? Kind regards Willi

chapter numbering
by Meer, Hans van der 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

The reference manual explains that one can set individual numbers on a chapter: \setuphead[subsection][ownnumber=yes] \subsection{399}{The old number} So I tried \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] but then I am in the dark how to use this. The reference manual (september 2013 -- latest?) was of no help because it does treat \chapter but not yet explains \startchapter. Neither did the ConTeXt Commands (July 2015 version) offer me I clue. I tried \startchapter[number=6] but this doesn't work. How to? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] \reference and \setupinteraction[focus=...] not working
by Christoph Reller 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi everybody, An even more minimal example \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] % <- defect %\setupinteraction[state=start, focus=fit] % <- works \starttext \reference[tuf]{Tufte} \input tufte \page \about[tuf]. \stoptext The resulting PDF has an annotation that points to a named destination "(tuf)". But "Names" in the PDF root contains then key "(#1)" and a correct destination as value. It is only the key in the Names tree that is wrong. Unfortunately, I cannot locate the code where this is written (maybe strc-ref.lua?). Any help is welcome.

\setupitemgroup...

Hi all, I tried to setup itemization on three levels. However I do not get the desired result. The setup does not make level one numbered, level two a-b-c and level three with center-dot. What am I missing?

Forms and JavaScript
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Oct '15

07 Oct '15

Hello, while trying to create some interactive forms using latest beta (MkIV), I found that JavaScripts are only then copied into the PDF, if there’s a \goto referencing a JS function. According to the old widgets manual I thought I could set default values of fields calling JS functions or variables as [JS(MyFunc)], but that doesn’t work. \starttext \setupinteraction [state=start] \startJSpreamble{formtest} % this JS code is only copied to the PDF if the \goto below is uncommented! var d = new Date(); var df = this.getField("Datum"); var CurDate = util.printd("dd.mm.yyyy", d); df.value = CurDate; function toggleField(){ var f = this.getField("Datum"); f.display = ! f.display; } \stopJSpreamble %\goto{toggle}[JS(toggleField)] \blank \setupfield[MMshortString][reset,horizontal][height=5mm, width=50mm, frame=off, bottomframe=on] \definefield[Datum][line][MMshortString][][JS(CurDate)] % JS(CurDate) ends up verbatim in the field Date: \field[Datum] \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
