Customising referencing failures (\in, etc)
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Folks, Is there a way to customise the ?? that is substituted in the output when a reference does not work out (nonexistent reference label, etc)? I’d like to make it more obvious for proofreading (like making it red, putting a marker in the margin, or something). Cheers, Robin \starttext \input tufte Bad reference \in[missing]. \input tufte \stoptext

beta
by Hans Hagen 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi, I uploaded a beta (for luatex 0.80) that has some changes in low level interfaces. Hopefully there are no side effects but there are they can be sorted out fast. I tested the code on projects and manuals so it should not be too bad. Depending on how complex your setup up is, there can be a speed gain of some 5% compared to previous versions.

Yes! That is the cause. Thank you! The wiki examples should be corrected to prevent others from this error. Wolfgang

Bug with ligatures (EBGaramond) and \mainlanguage[es]
by Andrés Conrado 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hello, list. When I try to use the EBGaramond font (http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/) in spanish (using \mainlanguage[es]), ligatures disappear. But they only disappear when they belong to a word (when alone, they look fine). See MWE, if you remove the comment in the \mainlanguage command, ligatures get screwed up: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % remove the comment below to see the effect on ligatures. %\mainlanguage[es] \loadtypescriptfile[ebgaramond] \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,48pt] \starttext flagrantemente y figurativamente ff fl fi ffi ffl ffii figura ffla fflego \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thanks for any ideas you may have, I'm clueless, and really need to use those ligatures. I can edit whatever needs to be edited, but I can't find any ideas in the source, nor the mailing list.

slanting an intermezzo.
by John Culleton 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I am redoing a book originally done in InDesign and the prior typesetter took delight in using every trick in the book. I can match all of them in context except one. He creates little sidebars and sometimes he leans them to the left by a few degrees. Here is an example of one such sidebar. How do I cause it to lean to the left about 3 degrees? -------------------------------------- \starttext \setupframed[background=screen,framecorner=rectangular,backgroundscreen=0.70] \placeintermezzo[right,none]{} \startframedtext[width=3in] \centerline {\bf RECIPE FOR SUCCESS} ------------------------------------------------ \noindent \input knuth.tex \stopframedtext \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \stoptext ------------------------------ I know I am supposed to use \rotate but I can't figure out how to rotate an intermezzo. Please help!

beta
by Hans Hagen 25 Mar '15

Hi, I uploaded a beta. This is the last one that works with luatex < 0.80 but the good news is that the contextgarden has 0.80. I will start moving in some new code now so if you don't want any risks you need to snapshot your context tree.

Re: [NTG-context] Help with \setuplist number width (for appendices)
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Am 23.03.2015 um 10:29 schrieb <Robin.Kirkham(a)csiro.au<mailto:Robin.Kirkham@csiro.au>> <Robin.Kirkham(a)csiro.au<mailto:Robin.Kirkham@csiro.au>>: Dear List, I’m implementing a predefined document style. This requires chapters numbered 1, 2, 3 … and appendices numbered Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, … both in the actual heads and also the table of contents. The style also requires the chapter numbers in the table of contents to be set in a 12mm column. The MWE below does all this, but for the appendices the number overflows the 12mm width, which is ugly of course. So I need to specify either a width with some stretch so the list layout will adapt, or somehow be able to specify a different width for the appendix entries. Any help appreciated, Robin \setuplist[chapter][ width=12mm, % but want 30mm for appendices label=yes, alternative=c] \define[1]\ChapterlistNumber {\dowithnextbox {\ifdim\nextboxwd<12mm \simplealignedbox{12mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}% \else \simplealignedbox{30mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}% \fi} \hbox{#1}} \setuplist [chapter] [width=0pt, label=yes, alternative=c, numbercommand=\ChapterlistNumber] Wolfgang Thanks Wolfgang! I actually tried something a bit like this but couldn’t get it to work. The key is to set the width to 0pt in the \setuplist. Best wishes from Melbourne, Robin
