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? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

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)

(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?

ConTeXt-defined colours broken in TikZ in MkIV with latest betas
by Mojca Miklavec 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi, The following example works in MkII and it works in TeX Live 2014, but it fails with the latest beta (it draws a black rectangle instead of using the defined colour): \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \definecolor[mycol][r=0.9,g=0.8,b=0.8] \starttikzpicture \fill[mycol] (0, 0) rectangle (2,4); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext It would be really nice to fix this in time for TeX Live 2015. Thank you, Mojca

Dear Mojca, > I don't know installers, so ... I have read first-setup.bat and have recognized that binaries for LuaTeX and LuajitTeX themselves in the zip are not installed. Sorry for my misunderstanding. Best, Akira

Letterhead Usage
by henman 01 May '15

01 May '15

I have created a letterhead for correspondence, but it is too unfriendly to have to include it in every time. I would like to use it as a package, but don't know if it's possible. The problem I see is that the command \setlayer must be done after the \starttext command. If it doesn't then formatting commands such as \sc will not take affect and I believe a different font is also applied. What would be a user friendly way to implement letterheads (made up using the layers functionality of context? Thanks

line number overwriting
by Pierre-François Bonnefoi 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello, I've got some strange behavior with verbatim text : The lines of the verbatim text got two different numbering that overwrite each other. I think that I've read something about this but I don't find it in the mail archive. If I remember correctly, there is a bug into the line number routine when you use a verbatim text into a column set with the paragraph command and when the verbatim text is enclosed into a frame.

Simple but can't find
by henman 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

I've searched the garden for how to do the simple function of including a context macro file into another one for text and formats that I want to reuse. But, I can find nothing when I searched for intuitive words such as "include", "import" , "use" and "file" , etc What is the command name?
