Trying to put 2 pages in A5 format besides one another on an A4 page like this: ---------------------- | | | | | | | | | | 1 | 2 | | | | | | | ---------------------- but using: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] I get this instead: ---------------------- ---------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 | | 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------- ---------------------- What I am doing wrong?

Open LaTeX Studio project
by Jan Tosovsky 22 May '15

22 May '15

Dear All, I've just stumbled upon a new editor for LaTeX source: https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/open_latex_studio Maybe ConTeX could be integrated as well in the future... In the light of various services like https://www.sharelatex.com/ https://www.authorea.com/ https://www.overleaf.com this seems to be anachronic, but in case it could be helpful to somebody... Just sharing. Jan

BUGS with \setupbodyfontenvironment
by david.boerschlein＠juno.com 22 May '15

22 May '15

I have the following: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic,x=9.0pt,xx=8.0pt,a=12.0pt,b=14.0pt,c=16.0pt,d=18.0pt,e=24.0pt,small=8.0pt] Per: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Font_Switching However Context has a syntax error. ! Missing \endcsname inserted ! You can't use `\dimexpr' in restricted horizontal mode If I change the above to: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic,x=0.9,xx=0.8,a=1.2,b=1.4,c=1.6,d=2.4,e=3.0,f=4.0,small=0.8] then the .tex compiles and runs and generates PDF output. Also, \tfe is documented to work but it is being flagged as a undefined control sequence error whereas \tfd works.

Minimum distance between text and footnotes
by Hannes Riebl 22 May '15

Dear list, is there a way to set a minimum distance between the text and the footnotes? I have done some research but could not find anything helpful.

Bug in first-setup.bat
by Christoph Reller 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hi, Currently, the setup script for Windows does not support installation in a directory whose path contains spaces. Please change line 41 of first-setup.bat from mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --force --make --engine=all --context=beta --texroot=%OWNPATH%tex %* to mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --force --make --engine=all --context=beta --texroot="%OWNPATH%tex" %* Then everything should be fine. Thanks, Christoph

Splitting a combination of figures (also a philosophical question)
by Mojca Miklavec 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hello, This is not strictly a ConTeXt question. I have two almost identical figures which I want to display one after the other. Ideally that would be on the same page with the combination of both having a single figure number (and possibly the two individual figures having labels (a) and (b), but that's not strictly required). However if the page breaks are not favourable, it would be OK to split the two figures, so that one ends up on the bottom of the previous page and the second one on the top of the new page. I could use two separate figure numbers, but then I would need to change the text that references the figures (and when the layout changes, so that I would figure out that both figures would eventually fit on a single page, I would have to change the text again). Is there any reasonable (and acceptable) solution to that? One option would be to have "Figure 1.5a: description" on the first page and "Figure 1.5b: description" on the second page while a reference to the figure would still show "Figure 1.5", but I'm not sure if this is doable. I would like to hear if anyone had a similar "challenge" and what solution you used. Mojca

Preventing double title pages for nested content
by Kate F 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hello! I'm collating some UNIX-like manpages into a PDF. I'm structuring the content like so: \setupcolors[state=start] \definehead[Volume] [part] % red colour: man(1) section \definehead[Library][part] % blue colour: library within section 3 \definehead[Manpage][chapter] \setuphead[Volume,Library,Manpage][page=yes,number=no,placehead=yes] \setuphead[Volume][color=red] \setuphead[Library][color=blue] \starttext \placecontent[list={Volume,Library,Manpage}] \startVolume[title=Section 1: Programs] \dorecurse{3}{\startManpage[title=progxyz(1)] \input lorem \stopManpage} \stopVolume \startVolume[title=Section 2: Syscalls] \dorecurse{3}{\startManpage[title=syscallxyz(1)] \input lorem \stopManpage} \stopVolume \startVolume[title=Section 3: Libraries] \startLibrary[title=libjpeg] \dorecurse{3}{\startManpage[title=jpegapi_a(3)] \input lorem \stopManpage} \stopLibrary \startLibrary[title=libpng] \dorecurse{3}{\startManpage[title=pngapi_a(3)] \input lorem \stopManpage} \stopLibrary \startLibrary[title=libbmp] \dorecurse{3}{\startManpage[title=bmpapi_a(3)] \input lorem \stopManpage} \stopLibrary \stopVolume \startVolume[title=Section 4: Drivers] \dorecurse{3}{\startManpage[title=drvxyz(1)] \input lorem \stopManpage} \stopVolume \startVolume[title=Section 7mk: Makefiles] \dorecurse{3}{\startManpage[title=xyz.mk(1)] \input lorem \stopManpage} \stopVolume \stoptext There I have grouped Volume 3 manpages into libraries. This grouping only applies to Volume 3. I'd like a single "title" page for each Volume (which I show in red), except for section 3, where I'd like a title page for each Library (which I show in blue). So the pagination should look like: toc S1 ... S2 ... libjpeg ... libpng ... libbmp ... S4 ... Where S* there is a red title page, S3 is absent, and lib* are blue title pages. I'm trying to work out how best to do this. Would you recommend I hide Volume 3's title page? I think that must be the simplest way, but I don't know how to do it using a setup. My data is coming from XML, and I'd like to avoid having a special \startVolume for Volume 3, if I can. Although perhaps that could help. Are there any other ways which might be more sensible? I wondered about using \setuphead[something][continue=yes] to fold the first blue title pages onto the red title pages, but even if I can do that, I think it would make things more difficult for getting the text right on those pages. Sorry for the long question! Thank you, -- Kate

Re: [NTG-context] simplefonts vs typescripts
by david.boerschlein＠juno.com 21 May '15

I have the following: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic,x=9.0pt,xx=8.0pt,a=12.0pt,b=14.0pt,c=16.0pt,d=18.0pt,e=24.0pt,small=8.0pt] Per: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Font_Switching However ConTeXt has a syntax error. ! Missing \endcsname inserted ! You can't use `\dimexpr' in restricted horizontal mode If I change the above to just: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] then the .tex compiles and runs and generates PDF output, albeit with the wrong point sizes. Please advise! Thanks.

how to set PDF TrimBox ?
by Harald Koenig 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hi, how can I set the /TrimBox values in PDF ? right now I use \setuppapersize[A4][B4] with \setuplayout[marking=color,...] and the print shop asks to set the /TrimBox to A4 (which right now is set to B4 paper format). obviously I can change that with pdftk/qpdf/sed/... in a nice shell-one-liner but I guess there is a more "context way" to achieve this? ;-) thanks, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.
