simple signature boxes
by henman 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

I now I could use a table to do this but I should also be able to do this with \framed and \startcombination[ cos * rows ]] But no matter what order I give to [ n x c ] the result is always a vertical split and not a horizontal one. I want the left half of the page for a "Buyer's" signature linr and the right of the page for a "Seller's" signature. %%%%%%%%% Mimimal Expample Follows: \starttext { \switchtobodyfont[8pt] \startcombination[2*1] { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Buyer's Signature: } } } { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Seller's Signature: } } } \stopcombination } \stoptext % % End of minimal example\\\ Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You. Henman

testing 32bit and 64bit versions in Win7 64bit
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \input zapf\par}}}} \stoptext I used it to test compilation speed from both 32bit and 64bit. The machine has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz processor with 8GB RAM running Win7 64bit. Compiling both with luajittex and --purgeall (more than once), sample results are: 2015.04.16 15:14 (32bit) - 153.959 seconds 2015.04.16 15:14 (64bit) - 154.908 seconds Shouldn’t the 64bit version be much faster or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Feature request for export: Interactive Notes
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

Dear gang, I've spent a considerable amount of time over the past month trying to master the art of xhtml output. We are close to being able to use ConTeXt as a replacement for markdown in, e.g., WordPress. Indeed, I plan to present the results of this experiment (porting an entire academic article to xhtml and WP) in a future article for one of the TeX journals... There is at least one crucial feature that's still needed. Perhaps it is already supported: If so, it would be much appreciated if someone kindly explained how to do it. In a web post (or epub), one wants to be able to interact back and forth with notes. Here is how markdown (extra) does it: ========Input======== That's some text with a footnote.[^1] [^1]: And that's the footnote. That's the second paragraph of the note. More main text ========Output======== <p>That's some text with a footnote.<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup></p> <p>More main text</p> <div class="footnotes"> <hr /> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> <p>And that's the footnote.</p> <p>That's the second paragraph of the note. <a href="#fnref:1" rev="footnote">↩</a></p> </li> </ol> </div> ===================== The resulting html file is attached. '↩' corresponds to U+21A9 (↩). See also https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#footnotes Now we can of course already export xhtml footnotes from ConTeXt but there will be no interactive links. In the current project, there are 77 footnotes; I had to add the links manually to get the output to do what we wanted. [Also note that it makes much more sense to export the footnotes as endnotes, particularly for long blog posts.] Is there already a way to get done automatically? In any case: This feature is a must-do in my humble opinion. Aside from a few other export bugs, this is one of the few features still needed so that ConTeXt can completely replace markdown for (advanced) web posts.

widows and orphans in lines
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

Hans, I wonder whether this is the right time to implement widows and orphans in lines. Sample file: \setuppapersize[A10] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \startlines a line a line a line a line a line a line a line a line a line a line \stoplines \stoptext I’m not in need of this, but I thought you may be interested in checking this with the new luatex version. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Dear list, I have this minimal sample: \starttext \writestatus{apples}{oranges} \message{Have you checked this variable?} \stoptext Is there a way that I can pause the compilation proccess to show the message and that compilation would continue by pressing any key? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Unable to resave float
by Aditya Mahajan 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

I have a complex document, where I use \startbackground .... \startplacefigure[location={always,none}] ... \stopplacefigure ... \stopbackground (This is for exam solutions and the background is supposed to be a frame around the solution; the figure is a figure included in the solution). Occasionally, some of the floats are not placed in the output. For example $grep float filename.log gives: floatblocks > '1' placed floatblocks > '2' placed floatblocks > '3' placed floatblocks > order disturbed structure > floats > unable to resave float floatblocks > '5' placed floatblocks > '6' placed floatblocks > order disturbed structure > floats > unable to resave float floatblocks > '8' placed So, float 4 and 7 were not saved. It is bit tricky to create a minimal example, but any idea how I can prevent this. I am using version 2015.04.03 Thanks, Aditya

Export bugs
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

Dear gang, Here are two export bugs, full test suite attached: ==========sh_ahmad-qajar-xml-test-highlight.tex=========== \setupexport[cssfile=sh_ahmad-qajar.css] \setupbackend[export=yes] \definehighlight[emphasis][style=\em] \definehighlight[important][style=bold] \starttext \startparagraph Some \emph{emphasis} and \important{important}. \emph{Emphasis} and \important{important}. \stopparagraph \stoptext ==========sh_ahmad-qajar-xml-test-highlight-div.xhtml========== <div> <div class="paragraph">Some emphasis and <div class="highlight important">important</div>. <div class="break"></div> Emphasis <div class="break"></div> and <div class="highlight important">important</div>.</div> </div> ========== The exported formatting of \emph vanishes in each instance, as well as misbehaves in the second case; \important behaves just fine. It seems the export doesn't like \em. Can this be fixed? Thanks and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

\lfloor, \rfloor, \lceil, \rceil vanish with \big, \Big, \bigg, \Bigg and their left and right variants
by Maggyero 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Dear NTG-ConTeXt members, The math delimiters for floor and ceiling functions (\lfloor, \rfloor, \lceil, \rceil) work with the automatic scaling commands (\left and \right) but vanish with the manual scaling commands (\big, \Big, \bigg, \Bigg, \bigl, \Bigl, \biggl, \Biggl, \bigr, \Bigr, \biggr, \Biggr). Do I use the right commands? Or could the developers fix that? Thank you in advance. Maggyero
