Apostrophe instead of colon in PDF
by Michał Goliński 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Dear list, I think I stumbled into a bug in the latest beta. When using Minion Pro, ConTeXt changes a colon to an apostrophe. A minimal example: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Minion Pro] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 12pt] \starttext a: b \stoptext I think this was introduced so long ago. I do not track all the updates, but I update fairly regularly, and one of my older installs did not have the bug in question. Also TeXLive 2015 gets it right. Michal

Learning about Kerning
by Michael Guravage 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hi, I am trying to use kerning in subject titles. \kernchracters works pretty good, but as you can see in the attached example, there is a gap before the Ts in Properties, and again in Praefatio and Praefationis. The \stretched command yields similar results, vis-à-vis the gaps. If somebody can enlighten me how to properly use kerning in this situation, I'd be immeasurably grateful. Cheers, Michael

\doifnotmodeelse - undefined control sequence error?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hello ConTeXist. I do not know if I'm not mistake somewhere, but it seems to me that the macro \doifnotmodeelse does not work. Can anyone verify this? Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is a simple example: \enablemode[mymode] % \disablemode[mymode] \starttext \startmode[mymode] mode 'mymode' is enabled! \stopmode \startnotmode[mymode] mode 'mymode' is disbled! \stopnotmode \doifmodeelse{mymode}{mode 'mymode' is enabled!}{mode 'mymode' is disbled!} % Undefined control sequence error ??? % \doifnotmodeelse{mymode}{mode 'mymode' is disbled!}{mode 'mymode' is enabled!} \stoptext

I want to get from text text text <break /> text text text (when I don’t use \start/stopparagraph) to text text text text text text But *if* there is paragraph markup, <break /> should become . That’s why I tried to use a status variable to know if there was a explicit paragraph start.

Custom XML Export
by Toby Miller 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

I'm using ConTeXt's export to XML feature, but I'd like more control over the XML output. Is there a way to define a TeX command that will output a specific tag (<tag>content</tag>) around some text in the output? Ideally I'd like to write a completely custom XML printer; it would be very simple, but would allow me to define what tags I want for different things. Is there a way to change the behaviour of the existing one, or could you recommend a starting point for writing a new one? Many thanks, Toby

\reference and \setupinteraction[focus=...] not working
by Christoph Reller 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Hi, In the following MWE, the interactive link work only when setting focus=fit. The resulting PDF differs as follows: - focus=fit: This PDF has no named destinations. The link annotations on page 3 include destinations directly, and these destinations are correct. - focus=<something else>: This PDF has named destinations in Root->Names with names (#2) and (#3) and these named destinations are completely correct. The problem is that the link annotations on page 3 reference named destinations by the names (tuf) and (knu). \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] %focus=fit \starttext \startsection[title=Hi There] \reference[tuf]{Tufte}% \input tufte \page \reference[knu]{Knuth}% \input knuth \page \about[tuf] and \about[knu]. \stopsection \stoptext This seems to be a bug. If so, then please confirm and tell if you intend to fix this. Interestingly, with focus=standard, automatically generated links (e.g. with sections and \about) work as expected. Regards, Christoph

Wiki maintenance
by Taco Hoekwater 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

Hi all, Today I copied the ConTeXt wiki to a new server, in preparation for the decommissioning the current old server, which should happen within a week or so. I’ve disabled wiki page editing at the old location for now, while we wait for everybody’s DNS entries to catch up. You will know that you are accessing the new location because: * you can edit pages again :) * there is a “powered by Semantic MediaWiki” logo at the bottom of the page. If there is a problem at the new location, please warn me. I’ve tried to install all the prerequisites on the new server, but chances are I missed something. Best wishes, Taco
