text alignment in table
by John Culleton 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Given this table: \starttabulate[|l|l] \NC 8:00\emdash noon \NC Ordering/opening/training\NR \NC \NC Food~preparation\NC\NR \NC Noon\emdash 2:00 PM \NC Luncheon~sales\NR \NC 2:00 PM\emdash 7:00 PM \NC General administration/baking \NR \NC \NC Supplier meeting (this is you) \NC\NR \stoptabulate ---------------------------- the Word "Food" is left justified in the column (good) and the word "preparation" is right justified (bad). The same problem occurs in the string "Luncheon sales." The glyph "~" doesn't help. I also tried the table variation in chapter twenty-two of "The TeXbook". That doesn't work in MKIV. My last resort is to introduce a one page pdf from the InDesign-created pdf. But the must be a Context solution. -- 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/!

itemize[n] and dejavu fonts
by Alan BRASLAU 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

The list spacing parameters (fit) is not right for numbered itemizations when using the dejavu fonts. MWE: \setupbodyfont [dejavu,10pt] \starttext \startitemize [n] \dorecurse{10}{\startitem X\stopitem} \stoptext (switching to 100 items is even worse!) Alan

Textbackgrounds interrupted by floats
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Folks, Here is problem that must have been asked about before, but I can’t seem to find a solution on the archive or anywhere else. I want a colour background for verbatim text (for code), and floating figures. However if a figure floats to the bottom (as in the example below), and the verbatim text is broken over to the next page because it is long, I don’t want the colour background under the figure as well — I want no background at all. What is the correct setup to do that? Thanks, Robin \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[code][ frame=off, location=paragraph, background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow] \setuptyping[typing][ %option=color, before={\starttextbackground[code]}, after=\stoptextbackground] \starttext \startplacefigure[location=bottom] \externalfigure[cow][width=0.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \input tufte \starttyping Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long Long \stoptyping \input tufte \stoptext

SyncTeX and mkiv
by Akira Kakuto 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Dear Mojca, Here (1) context --synctex filename (2) context --synctex=1 filename (3) context --synctex=-1 filename all work. (1) and (2) are equivalent. \enabledirectives[system.synctex] \starttext ... ... \stoptext in a source does not work correctly. (Input files are not recorded in a data correctly.) Best, Akira

RAL colours
by Pavneet Arora 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Of and on, I have struggled to find a colour space that is expressive enough for printing, but convenient to access through ConTeXt for day-to-day usage. I find with X11 that the emphasis on screen skews the colours to be brighter than what is desired, especially if one is dealing with coloured stock---say beige kraft---as I am doing with my current bit of typesetting. In this process I have come across the RAL colour space: http://www.ral-farben.de/content/application-help/all-ral-colours-names/ove… whose values can be conveniently (sort of) accessed at: http://rgb.to/ral/page/1 For my immediate needs, I have simply created a set of: \definecolor[<colourName>][h=HHHHHH] However, I am wondering if it might make sense to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? So my questions would be: 1. Is the RAL colour space a decent one for printing purposes? What would be disadvantages, if not? 2. Does colo-imp-ral.mkiv exist already? 3. If not, would others find it useful to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? If it doesn't then I would be happy to prepare one and submit it. Many thanks. -- ---- Pavneet Arora m: 647.406.6843 Waroc Informatik t: 416.937.9276

presets for setlayerframed
by Aditya Mahajan 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hi, Is it possible to set 'presets' for the framed settings of \setlayerframed? For example: \definelayer[text] \definelayer[annotate] \setupbackgrounds[text][background={text,foreground,annotate}] \starttext Testing layers: \setlayerframed[annotate][x=1cm,y=1cm][frame=off, align=middle] {\input ward \par} \setlayerframed[annotate][x=1cm,y=4cm][frame=off, align=middle] {\input tufte \par} \stoptext I don't want to repeat the `frame=off, align=middle` setting everytime (in may actual usecase, these are much more complicated settings). How can I do that? Thanks, Aditya

Unexpected results...
by Willi Egger 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Good afternoon, I downloaded the latest beta: current version: 2015.04.01 12:00 What i detect is not related to the latest version, but I think it is good to test with it… 1. When using the command \starthead..\stophead in an itemize with head style set to bold, not only the head gets bold but the whole item. On the other hand if using \head then it works ok. 2. I use a lot \Milli\Meter. When loading the module with \usemodule[units] it works fine. But in the log there is a message that this is an obsolete module. - This is unfortunately not true, because when not loading the module the compilation stops with an error of an undefined control sequence. I would be glad if this could be checked. Thank you so much. Kind regards Willi

Re: [NTG-context] Different renderings of cross references
by Otared Kavian 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Trying once more… Hi all, As explained in the example below, I would like to setup the referencing mechanism so that a cross reference within a given chapter gives only the number of the section and that of an equation, while if the same reference is used in another chapter then the number of the chapter is also included. Is this possible with mkiv? Best regards: OK Here is a minimal example of what I would like to obtain: %%%%% begin prefix-reference.tex \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupformulas[prefix=yes,prefixsegments=chapter:section,way=bysection,location=left] \def\eqref#1{(\in[eq:#1])} \starttext \startchapter[title=Introduction to sequences of numbers] \startsection[title=On sequences,reference=sec:Sequences] \placeformula[eq:Number-e] \startformula a_{n} := \sum_{k=0}^n {1 \over n!} \stopformula \stopsection The sequence defined in equation \eqref{Number-e} cannot converge to a rational number. (Here I would like to have (1.1) instead of (1.1.1)). \startsection[title=Cauchy sequences] The sequence defined in \eqref{Number-e} satisfies $a_{n} < a_{n+1} < 3$ but it does not converge to a rational number. (Here I would like to have (1.1) instead of (1.1.1)). \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title=What is a real number] \startsection[title=Limits of Cauchy sequences] We proved in \in{section}[sec:Sequences] that the sequence defined in equation \eqref{Number-e} cannot converge to a rational number. (Here I would like to have section 1.1, and equation (1.1.1)). \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%% begin prefix-reference.tex
