TikZ and wrong drawing order
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi, I would like to ask for help for either finding a fix or some clever workaround for the following problem. If I use a TikZ picture as item symbol and additionally use background text, then the first symbol in itemize environment gets covered by the background. Here's an example: \usemodule [tikz] \definesymbol[1] [{\tikz\shade[shading=ball,ball color=blue] (0,0) circle (.2cm);}] \definecolor [backcol] [s=1,a=1,t=0.1] \starttext \startframedtext[width=4cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=backcol] \startitemize \item one \item two \item three \stopitemize \stopframedtext \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

new beta
by Hans Hagen 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi, I uploaded a beta. The most significant (visible) change is in the way mp handles outlines. Here are some examples: % outlinetext (text) transformations ; % outlinetext.d (text) (draw options) transformations ; % outlinetext.f (text) (fill options) transformations ; % outlinetext.b (text) (draw options) (fill options) transformations ; % outlinetext.r (text) (fill options) (draw options) transformations ; \starttext \startMPpage draw outlinetext.b ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}") (withcolor .5white) (withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10) xsized 10cm ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage draw outlinetext.r ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}") (withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10) (withcolor .5white) xsized 10cm ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage draw outlinetext.d ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}") (withcolor .5white) xsized 10cm ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage picture p ; p := outlinetext.p("PX") ; for i within p : draw i withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10 ; endfor ; \stopMPpage \stoptext If you say (will b edefault when no complaints): \startMPdefinitions let graphictext = new_graphictext ; \stopMPdefinitions the graphictext macro will also use this method. If you want a nice view on a font you can say: \useMPlibrary[outlines] \showshape[character=a,alternative=page] \stoptext or for a whole font: \setupbodyfont[pagella] \showshape[character=all,alternative=page] or \definedfont[almfixed] \showshape[character=all,alternative=page] Another change is a much faster reload of fonts database but as that doesn't happen often it might go unnoticed.

by Pablo Rodriguez 13 Jun '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily [mainface] [tt] %~ [file:lmmonoproplt10-regular.otf] [name:lmmonoproplt10regular] \setupbodyfont [mainface] \starttext \type{monospace font} \stoptext Either by file or name, I’m not able to select the font. I get the following list from mtxrunjit: $ mtxrunjit --script font --list --file --pattern=lmmonoproplt10regular latinmodernmonoproplight light normal normal normal lmmonoproplt10regular lmmonoproplt10-regular.otf What am I doing wrong here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

First page after standardmakeup gets page number 0 in table of contents
by Mojca Miklavec 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hi, I'm experiencing a weird issue. The first page after standardmakeup ends up with page number zero in table of contents. Here's a minimal example: \setuphead [chapter] [page=odd] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \starttext \startstandardmakeup title page \stopstandardmakeup \chapter{first} \chapter{second} \title{TOC} \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=all,alternative=c] \stoptext This prints TOC 1 first .......... 0 2 second ......... 3 But the first chapter is on page 1. A temporary workaround was to prepare a separate document with the initial pages (and print them separately and merge the pages with an external tool), but it would be great to solve this properly. Thank you, Mojca

Hello, Is it possible to place a figure to the right in two column mode? I always get it centered for some reason. \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] \starttext \startcolumns[two] % doesn't work \startplacefigure[location={nonumber,right,high}] \externalfigure[cow][width=2cm] \stopplacefigure \input tufte \stopcolumns % works \startplacefigure[location={nonumber,right,high}] \externalfigure[cow][width=2cm] \stopplacefigure \input tufte \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

Wiki page on color
by Aditya Mahajan 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Hi, I am doing a major overhaul of the wiki page on colors. The current page[1] had become tangled up with time and I think that it is better to reorganize the information. Since this is a major change, rather than simply editing the wiki page, I have created a new page[2]. Please take a look at both pages: [1]: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Color [2]: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Color/sandbox If you think that there is information on the original page that needs to go to the new page, move it there. After a few days, I'll move page [2] to page [1]. Aditya

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?

Asterisk
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hello, how to typeset "centerd asterisk" ("*") in Ctx? I mean the symbol which is used in the third level of itemization (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations) or which can be typeset by \textasteriskcentered in LaTeX. (I cannot find the symbol definition in Ctx itemize-command definition (source files) and simple writing "\textasteriskcentered" doesn't work.) Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
