new beta
by Hans Hagen 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The reported bidi issue with footnotes had to do with some unhboxing that doesn't play well with the bidi analyzers, i.e. in case of <new text> <unhboxed done text> <new text> the done text is already treated. I now use a slightly different implementation. I also added the arabicdecimals conversion. There is also a new feature called profiling which is very experimental and falls into the 'over the top' category (it's not the fastest mechanism around). \setupbodyfont[dejavu] % methods: none strict fixed|haldfixed|quaterfixed|eightsfixed % where fixed also adapts to grid snapping \defineprofile [myprofile] [method=quarterfixed, height=\strutht, depth=\strutdp, distance=3pt] \startbuffer \dostepwiserecurse{1}{400}{5}{just a test #1 $\frac{x}{#1}^{#1}$ and }done\par \stopbuffer \starttext \startTEXpage[align=normal,strut=no] \getbuffer \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[align=normal,strut=no,profile=myprofile] \getbuffer \stopTEXpage \enabletrackers[profiling.show] \startTEXpage[align=normal,strut=no,profile=myprofile] \getbuffer \stopTEXpage \disabletrackers[profiling.show] \stoptext In everyday use this feature is not that interesting but for special cases it might come in handy.

Re: [NTG-context] footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)
by talazem＠fastmail.fm 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

I’m reviving this old thread, as the problem appears to still exist. Consider the following: > \starttext \showframe > > \definenote[afootnote][rule={on,right},paragraph=no] > > \startalignment[r2l] > Testing.\afootnote{This is footnote one.} > Testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote two.} > Testing testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote three.} > \stopalignment > > \stoptext In the output (r2l.pdf), the text runs from right to left as it should, and the footnote reference numbers are in the right margin, as they should be. However, if we switch the option “paragraph” to “yes”, the entire frame no longer runs r2l (see the output in r2l-yes.pdf). What I want is for the text to read as follows: > .eerht etontoof si sihT 3 .owt etontoof si sihT 2 .eno etontoof si sihT 1 where the entire frame begins at the right margin, such that the first footnote number (1) is in the right margin, instead of in the left margin as it is in r2l-yes.pdf. To say it another way, the entire footnote frame should be r2l, regardless of its contents, perhaps (as Idris wrote to me) through some hard direction switch for the entire frame. Best wishes, Talal

Floating dimensions that adapts automaticall
by Fabrice Couvreur 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hi, In the code below, we can see that the table overflows. Of course, one can play on the table dimensions to adjust its position. However it is possible to define a floating whose dimensions automatically adapt to the available space ? Thank you, Fabrice \definefloat [MyFloat] [figure] \setupfloat [MyFloat] [default={right,none}] \startsetups[table:initialize] \setupTABLE[start][align={middle,lohi},width=2cm,offset=1ex] \setupTABLE[column][first][width=4cm] \setupTABLE[row][first][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray] \stopsetups \showframe \starttext \placeMyFloat{}{\externalfigure[louvre.jpg][width=5cm]} Le tableau ci-dessous indique le nombre d'entrées (en milliers) au musée du Louvre : \blank[medium] \startmidaligned \placeMyFloat{}{ \bTABLE[setups=table:initialize] \bTR \bTH \eTH \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTH \eTH \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopmidaligned} \blank[medium] \stoptext

Colored descriptions
by Eric Détrez 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

I wish to write a text where there are definitions, theorems, ... I wish to get a table of definitions at the end so I think the right tool is description. But I want the head or/and the main text have colored background. Is it possible ? I tried inbetween=\startframedtext,after=\stopframedtext in the \setupdescriptions but this lead to an error "Missing } inserted" -- Eric Détrez Informatique Lycée Faidherbe, Lille http://eric-detrez.fr

No output for no apparent reason
by Matt Gushee 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hello, ConTeXt people-- I am coming back to ConTeXt after a long absence (for about the 3rd or 4th time - maybe if I just stuck with it I wouldn't keep having these problems, eh?). I have a new installation of the standalone ConTeXt package on an Arch Linux system. I obtained the 'first-setup.sh' script according to instructions, then ran: ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex --context=current I also have TeXlive, including ConTeXt, installed as a regular Arch package; however, I don't intend to use it. In any case, I have sourced /opt/context/tex/setuptex, so I have: $ which context /opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.61 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2015.05.18 12:26 I have tried the "hello world" example described on the wiki, and the output from that is exactly as expected, but I am having trouble with a couple of projects that I created in 2006. Each project is moderately complex, including an environment file and several product files. Each project produced output in the past. But now I run 'context <file>', and there are no obvious errors (except for fonts not found, but in that case the default font should be used instead, correct?), yet no PDF is produced. Furthermore, the log files say that PDF files were generated, e.g.: mkiv lua stats > result saved in file: hobo.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 3 And yes, I've checked the modification times on the log files, and they are up to date. Of course I am not giving very much detail, but I have no idea what might be relevant. Any ideas about how to troubleshoot this? Thanks, Matt Gushee

noheaderandfooterlines messes with colors
by Eric Détrez 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Here is a minimal example : \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \noheaderandfooterlines \starttikzpicture \draw(0,2) node[color=red]{This should be red}; \draw(0,0) node[color=red]{This is red}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext The first line is written in black but when I comment \noheaderandfooterlines both lines are red This seems a curious effect The goal is to get a nice front page with tikz drawings and text at the right place. Please don't tell me to use metaFun. -- Eric Détrez Informatique Lycée Faidherbe, Lille http://eric-detrez.fr

Arabic/Hindi numerals in layout structures (headers, page numbers, etc.)
by talazem＠fastmail.fm 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Dear all, When typesetting in Arabic (or, for that matter, other non-Latin scripts), how does one get numerals to appear ‘natively’ in layout structures such as headers, page numbers, line-numbering, and footnote numbers? In the case of Arabic, this means using the so-called “mashriqi”, or “Arabic-Indic”/“Arabic-Hindi” numerals. Is there some option when defining the font family? (I would have thought that using “\mainlanguage[arabic]” would have done it.) Of course, I am using a font that contains the numbers of that script. Mind you, if I manually type such numbers into the body of my text, they appear correctly. MWE below. Best wishes, Talal ===== \setuppapersize[A6] \mainlanguage[arabic] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][ALMFixed][features=arabic,range=arabic,] \setupbodyfont [mainface,10pt] \starttext \showframe \righttoleft %\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two] \section{section one} \startlinenumbering \input ward \stoplinenumbering \footnote{I would like the footnote number — like the page number, section number, and linenumbers — to be in the so-called Arabic-Indic script.} \section{section two} مرحباً بالعالم. ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩٠ مرحباً بالعالم. \stoptext =====

Formatting TOC
by robheus 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hello list, I need some adjustments to my TOC and chapter titles. 1. The title and the title of every chapter need to be indented (leaving enough room 2. The title of part does not need to be indented, but uses two consecutive lines, preceded and followed with a blank line, as follows DEEL <part number> <part title> 3. Chapter entries are on consecutive lines, except that between the first and second, and before the last chapter entry there is a blank line. (I use "\setuplist[chapter][before=]" and tried to use "\writebetweenlist[content]{\blank}" at the specified locations to get blank lines there, but this didn't work) 4. The part number needs to be capital roman numbers, and titles of chapters are preceded with the capital roman part number. (The option "conversion=Romannumerals" in "\setuphead[part]" doesn't seem to work) 5. There are 2 parts, part 1 with 5 chapters, part 2 with 4 chapters. Chapter numbering of part 1 only starts with 0 instead of 1. (I use currently the "ownnumber" option of \startchapter for all chapters of part 1, but is there a more simple or elegant option for this, just setting the chapter number 0 directly after part 1 starts or so?) Greetings, Rob The code I use now, is below: \setupheadtext[content=INHOUDSOPGAVE] % Kop boven de inhoudsopgave \setuphead[title][align=flushleft] \definecombinedlist[content][part,chapter] % welke structuur-elementen in de inhoudsopgave komen \setupcombinedlist[content][level=2, alternative=b] \setuphead[part][placehead=no,bodypartlabel=Deel,conversion=Romannumerals] \setuphead[chapter][page=right,indentnext=yes,align={nothyphenated},style=\bf,after={\blank[2cm]},sectionsegments=part:chapter] \setuphead[section][style=\bf,indentnext=yes,sectionsegments=chapter:section,align={nothyphenated}] \setuphead[subject][indentnext=yes,style=\tf] \define[3]\PartListEntry{ \vbox{DEEL #1\crlf #2} } \setuplist[part][state=start,headnumber=no,pagenumber=no,alternative=command,command=\PartListEntry] \setuplist[chapter][before=]
