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

Sourcemirror at gitorious is closing down, where to find it then?
by Norbert Melzer 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Since gitorious got acquired by gitlab it will shut down its service end of May 2015 (https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/) Where will ConTeXts source mirror be hosted then? Will it get transfered over to gitlab? Github? Bitbucket? Sourceforge? Somewhere else?

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.

Synonyms - feature request?
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Folks, I use the synonym feature heavily as technical documents can have hundreds of them. It’s great I can produce a list of synonyms I actually use in a document. Proper style however requires that each synonym be “explained” (shown in full) the first time it is used — usually in a document, but sometimes in a smaller scope, like a part or chapter. This is something I frequently get wrong, and is something document reviewers are quick to complain about. So it would be great if Context could do this automatically. The attached MWE shows what I mean — with such a feature, the two paragraphs should come out the same. I’ve placed some (commented) guesses as to how this might be configured in \setupsynonyms. Maybe better key names can be imagined. Typically I would want synonym \XX\ to be expanded to XX (Xxx Xxx) the first time it is used (alternative a), but the reverse (alternative b), Xxx Xxx (XX) might be preferred. However a command could be used for a custom “explanation”. Internally to Context, I guess this means each group of synonyms actually used has to be complemented with a list of the synonyms that have been “explained” (i.e., \infull{}) would add them to this second list). The second list would be cleared each new scope (chapter, section). The \XX\ macro would explain the synonym if it wasn’t on the second list (using \infull{}, which would then add it). None of this would change the behaviour of \placelistof… where you would continue to select the criterium for the list you want output, independently of The only further tweak might be a scheme so that certain common synonyms (a third list) are never explained automatically (perhaps by example, UK in a document written in and for a UK audience). This list would silently added to the second list immediately after it was cleared, I guess. Synonyms for this this list would be added by a slightly different version of the synonym definition macro (perhaps \commonabbreviation instead of \abbreviation, in the MWE). Anyone think this would be a useful feature addition?

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.

tagging heads and empty output
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Dear gang, Two issues: 1. What is the proper way to tag heads in itemize? I do ========== \startitemize[n] \starthead {Head 1} Test 1 \stophead \starthead {Head 2} Test 2 \stophead \stopitemize ========== but {Head 1} and {Head 2} are not tagged in the output *div.html. Is there a special tagging command for the heads? 2. In a browser, everything within a <div class="itemgroup itemize level-1 symbol-n"> etc is ignored (tried different browers); nothing shows up at all, so nothing to tweak in css. ============== <div class="itemgroup itemize level-1 symbol-n"> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag">1.</div> <div class="itemcontent">Head 1 <div class="break"></div> Test 1</div> </div> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag">2.</div> <div class="itemcontent">Head 2 <div class="break"></div> Test 2</div> </div> </div> ============== Is there something wrong with context's xhtml output? test files attached and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

line break between number and footnote text in paragraph footnotes
by mf 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hello, I have a problem with paragraph footnotes. I don't know how to prevent a line break occurring between the footnote number and the footnote text. Sometimes a thing like this happens: ... [main text] ... -------------- 1. text of the first footnote --- 2. text of the second one --- 3. text of the third one Is there a way to force ConTeXt to keep the "3." with "text of the third one"? Thanks in advance, Massi

lua code prevents compilation
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters","after","document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \def\CoverImageFile{}%\externalfigure[TypeWriter][width=\textwidth]} \definefontfamily[ornamenta][rm][FontAwesome] \def\CoverImageFont{\scale[width=\textwidth]{\ornamenta }} \def\CoverImage{\doifsomethingelse{\CoverImageFile}{\CoverImageFile}{\CoverImageFont}} \starttext \CoverImage \stoptext For some reason unknown to me, the only way to compile the sample is to remove the luacode snippet. I need the lua code to have underscore hyphenation in type commands. And I need two extra \definehyphenationfeatures and \sethyphenationfeatures to invoke it. Have I hit a bug or what am I missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
