Is there a way to completely remove all auxiliary and resulting files?
by Norbert Melzer 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Is there a way to completely delete all files, that were created during a context run? Similar to the `-c`/`-C` options in `latexmk`? I could create a script using bat/sh but I would prefer to not have to maintain 2 cleanscripts for the different environments that are used to create the document.

Dear list, I’m afraid I’ve hit a bug: \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] \setuphead[section][style=\it] \starttext \section{Different Efficiencies} \section{Different Effectivity} \stoptext The first title has an extra space after the ff ligature. I think this may be a bug. Could anyone confirm it? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

packed lists in XML

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] <doc> standard list: <ul> <li> item from loose list </li> <li> item from loose list </li> </ul> packed list: <ul> <li>item from tight list</li> <li>item from tight list</li> </ul> </doc> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{ul|li|p}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:ul \startitemize \xmlflush{#1} \stopitemize \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ul:packed \startitemize[packed] \xmlflush{#1} \stopitemize \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:li \startitem \xmlflush{#1} \stopitem \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmldoifnotselfempty {#1} { \dontleavehmode \ignorespaces \xmlflush{#1} \removeunwantedspaces } \par \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Standard lists are defined in XML code with ul/li/p and packed lists remove the final /p from the path.

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] TeX \stopbuffer \setupinteraction[state=start] \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{span[contains(@class,'tex-logo')]}{xml:tex:logo} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:tex:logo \TeX \stopxmlsetups \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Unless I remove the hyphen from the class and from the setups (or replace both hyphens with an underscore hyphen), I won’t get the \TeX logo.

Alignment on the baseline in a itemize environment with \dfrac{}{}

The alignment of the second item on the baseline is not correct if I use the command \dfrac{}{}. How to solve this problem without using the command \framed ? Best regards, Fabrice \starttext \startitemize[columns,A,joinedup,three][stopper={)},style=bold] \item $f^{\prime}(x) = \dfrac{- 1}{(x + 1)^2}$ \item $f^{\prime}(x) = 1$ \item $f^{\prime}(x) = \dfrac{1}{x + 1}$ \stopitemize \stoptext

Help with \setuplist number width (for appendices)
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

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] \setuplabeltext[appendix=Appendix\space] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{One} \chapter{Two} \startappendices \chapter{First} \chapter{Second} \stopappendices \stoptext

# in file name
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Hello, I need to insert a figure "PrehlSit#A2.pdf" - a file whose name contains # - by Lua. How to "code" the name? I tried: ---- \startluacode context.pagefigure({PrehlSit#A2.pdf"}, {scale=500}) context.pagefigure({PrehlSit\#A2.pdf"}, {scale=500}) context.pagefigure({PrehlSit##A2.pdf"}, {scale=500}) \stopluacode ---- But nothing works. How to "code" the file name? (BTW: I'm aware that # in file names is not recommended. But files with # mean "final" among all files I (and others) are working on, so keeping # in the file name (like a flag) is really desirable.) Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

mkiv versus mkii: whitespace issues
by Gerben Wierda 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

I am running into two issues with my mkii-to-mkiv conversion project - The \chapter command in mkiv uses more whitespace between the header and the first paragraph. How can I influence this? - \startitemize[packed,joinedup] inserts whitespace between the list and the paragraph before it where mkii doesn’t How can I fix this? G

setting columns in a text frame.
by John Culleton 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

I am attempting to emulate a layout of a customer's book that was set in InDesign. I have columns inside a \textframe inside an \intermezzo. I can't get the columns to break. I get one long column and the seocnd column is blank. here is my code: --------------------------------------- \setupframed[framecorner=round, frameradius=1em, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.70, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=1em, corner=round, radius=1em] \starttext \placeintermezzo[center,none]{} \starttext \startframedtext[] [width=\hsize] \centerline{\ss\tfb Interest in Green, Organic, and Local Foods Is Exploding} \definecolumns[example][n=2] \startcolumns[example] Organic foods, locally sourced foods, and sustainable living or "green" enterprises have become part of our mainstream lifestyles. Organic foods are produced without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge and are processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. There is a growing belief that eating \column organic is better for our bodies and better for the planet. Green food producers and processors are becoming increasingly environmentally friendly. More importantly, data suggest that these markets have exceeded 60 percent in compound annual growth. This suggests a significant demand that specialty food entrepreneurs can meet. \stopcolumns \stopframedtext \stoptext Is this combination of features a bridge too far? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

about installation instructions in the wiki
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Dear list, composing an explanation about ConTeXt, I came to the name of the distrubtion. I think it is “ConTeXt Suite” (I would also capitalize the first letter from the second word). If I’m not wrong, the wiki article that offers installation instructions has the title “ConTeXt Standalone”. I wonder whether it would be better to move “ConTeXt Standalone” to “ConTeXt Suite” (and also subpages) and redirect all pages to the new destinations. Otherwise, we can’t prevent that people call the “ConTeXt Suite” “ConTeXt Standalone” instead. (I know it isn’t a question of forcing anyone, but of diseminating a newer name :-).) Best, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
