chapterhead
by Meer, H. van der 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

I am using sectionstopper to put something between the chapter number and the chapter title: \setuphead[chapter][sectionstopper={something}] However, this "something" also appears in the table of contents between the chapter number and its title. Is it possible to suppress this sectionstopper within the table of contents? Hans van der Meer

jump to document
by Meer, H. van der 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

I want to jump from the generated pdf to an external document. For example to something like file:///Volumes/MYDISK/users/me/Documents/thisone.jpg. Especially when writing a document that refers to many external documents this makes referencing back to sources a lot easier. I tried to find how to do it from the reference manual but did not succees. Help will be appreciated. Hans van der Meer

footnote coloring
by dr. Hans van der Meer 06 Sep '15

06 Sep '15

I want to color all elements of a footnote, but I cannot find how to do this. Minimal example: \def\rednumber#1{\color[red]{#1}} \starttext \setupfootnotes[textcolor=red,numbercommand=\rednumber,foregroundcolor=red] This text\footnote{the footnote} contains a footnote. \stoptext The footnotenumber in the text is the only element that gets colored because of the [textcolor=red] parameter setting. In the command reference it is [numbercommand=\rednumber]. Shouldn't that have made the color of the footnotenumber below? Since \setupfootnotes inherits from setupframed I expected [foregroundcolor=red] to do the trick for the content of the footnote, but it doesn't. How to? Hans van der Meer

Oddity: \buildtextaccent shifts glyph right
by Rik 06 Sep '15

06 Sep '15

I am using \buildtextaccent to create a couple of characters that have no Unicode equivalent. They are scribal abbreviations that made it into early typesetters works. In this case, the abbreviation are for Latin que, which looks like a q with a small ezh appended in a subscript position, and q with an acute accent, both of which are used in some 17th century works I am dealing with. An example of the abbreviation with the ezh and accent can be seen at https://books.google.com/books?id=hHNVAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA6#v=onepage&q&f=false in the sixth line of the paragraph beginning “Yea but”. It seems that \buildtextaccent\textacute q (or \buildtextaccent´q) moves the q to the right within the character’s bounding box. The following example (and attached resulting pdf) demonstrates this. Lines 1 and 2 show the string with and without the \buildtextaccent, and lines 4 and 6 repeat that in italic. The strings are the same width, but the q is moved right. Lines 3 and 6 show a manual kerning of the q to improve appearance. This happens with many fonts, but not all (I do not see it with Computer Modern). I am using Win 10Pro x64 with ConTeXt ver: 2015.09.04 11:00 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.9.5 int: english/english. I suspect that this is not intended, but I am not sure. I would also love to raise the accent a bit. Suggestions? I can live with it as it is and manually kern as needed. There are very few instances of these abbreviations that need to be dealt with. % macros=mkvi engine=luajittex \starttexdefinition boxWidth #STR \setbox0=\hbox{#STR}\the\wd0 \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition Dicitque Dicitq\kern-0.070em\low{ʒ}\autoinsertnextspace \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition DicitqueK Dicit\buildtextaccent\textacute q\kern-0.070em\low{ʒ}\autoinsertnextspace \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition DicitqueKK Dicit\kern-0.060em\buildtextaccent\textacute q\kern-0.070em\low{ʒ}\autoinsertnextspace \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition idque idq\autoinsertnextspace \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition idqueK id\buildtextaccent\textacute q\autoinsertnextspace \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition idqueKK id\kern-0.060em\buildtextaccent\textacute q\autoinsertnextspace \stoptexdefinition \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,12pt] \starttext \startitemize[n,joinedup,packed] \item \Dicitque \qquad\boxWidth{\Dicitque}\par \item \DicitqueK \qquad\boxWidth{\DicitqueK}\par \item \DicitqueKK \qquad\boxWidth{\DicitqueKK}\par \it \item \Dicitque \qquad\boxWidth{\Dicitque}\par \item \DicitqueK \qquad\boxWidth{\DicitqueK}\par \item \DicitqueKK \qquad\boxWidth{\DicitqueKK}\par \stopitemize \startitemize[n,joinedup,packed] \item \idque \qquad\boxWidth{\idque}\par \item \idqueK \qquad\boxWidth{\idqueK}\par \item \idqueKK \qquad\boxWidth{\idqueKK}\par \it \item \idque \qquad\boxWidth{\idque}\par \item \idqueK \qquad\boxWidth{\idqueK}\par \item \idqueKK \qquad\boxWidth{\idqueKK}\par \stopitemize \stoptext -- Rik

framed broken?
by dr. Hans van der Meer 06 Sep '15

06 Sep '15

I tried to reproduce a framed example from the context-reference: Input taken from this example by copying the lines from the reference document: \starttext \framed [width=.2\hsize,height=3cm] {\cbox to 2.5cm{\hsize2.5cm just\\in the\\middle}} \stoptext result is wrong in comparison with the middle \cbox example. The text is not centered. Is framed at fault here? Hans van der Meer

Strange problem with EBGaramond st ligature and 20150901 beta
by Rik Kabel 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Please help with the strangest problem I have come across. The following document fails (does not complete, hangs) when the following conditions hold: * ConTeXt ver: 2015.09.01 11:10 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.9.3 int: english/english * \mainlanguage[en] or fr * Font EBGaramond otf from EBGaramond-0.016.zip https://bitbucket.org/georgd/eb-garamond/downloads * Font features clig and hlig * Font style \it or \sl * Text string (among others) astro istar istra ister istor istro istur The problem is the same with \usemodule[newotf] and without. The problem does not occur with: * ConTeXt ver: 2015.08.30 17:07 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.8.30 int: english/english. * \mainlanguage la or de. * \tf or \sc or \bd (there is no bold in the font). The issue appears to be related to the st ligature, but only in conjunction with some other letters. Can somebody else reproduce the problem. For the record, this is running on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. The problem document: \definefontfeature [ff:ebg][default][ clig=yes,hlig=yes, %% 1 %% ] \definefontfamily [mainface][serif][ebgaramond] [features=ff:ebg] \setupbodyfont [mainface] % \mainlanguage[la] %% 2 %% \mainlanguage[fr] %% 3 %% \starttext \it %% 4 %% % \tf %% 5 %% astro %% 6 %% % aStro %% 7 %% % asTor %% 8 %% \stoptext -- Rik

Table setups interfering with another table?
by Mari Voipio 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Hello! I have a bit of a table mystery. It seems that the setups of an earlier table interfere with the table coming after it (in the real thing there's text between the tables, but the behaviour is the same). Each table looks fine by itself, but if I compile a file with both, the second one looks weird. What is it that I don't see or understand? And yes, the tables really need to look like that. I'm recreating from a pdf a document that is probably made with Word and this is how they've done their tables in the original. I admit that my ConTeXt version isn't exactly the newest available, it is dated 2015.02.03. If the combination of tables works in newer versions, I'll update, otherwise I'm not keen to fiddle with a working combo. As always, I'll be grateful for any help I can get, Mari
