If figures are placed left, left-aligned captions are unwantedly centered
by d_jan 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hello fellow ConTeXt users, I want to place figures left so that text wraps around them if they have less width than \textwidth. The figure captions should be aligned left (flushleft). What happens: The captions are all centered. Details: -------- If I use default={here,nonumber} instead of default={left,nonumber} in\setupfloat[figure][default=..., the captions are aligned left, just like they should. It does not matter if the text warps around the captioned image, the centered is present for all figure-captions, regardless of their width. Code demonstrating the behaviour: --------------------------------- \setupfloat[figure][default={left,nonumber}] \setupcaption[figure][align=flushleft] %prefix: section-wis 3 \starttext %here is some text... Lorem Ipsum.... \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} %here is some text Lorem Ipsum.... \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} Is there any way to left-place figures and have the captions flushleft aligned? (Ideally while keeping the content after starttext the same) addition: I tried with an comes-with-Ubuntu-14.04 and a LiveTex2015 Version of ConTeXt, no difference in behavior. Kind Regards, Jan PS.: Previously posted this on tex.stackexchange too (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/289752/if-figures-are-placed-left-le…), but without answers so far.

beta
by Hans Hagen 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hi, I uploaded a beta. Apart from things mentioned here th emost important change is the xml entity handler, some additions to the command setup code, and a few extra \xml* helpers (plus some obscure removed). So, if you have a critical xml flow, snapshot your tree first.

Shading to transparent using withshademethod
by Marco Patzer 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi, some months ago the withshading, withfromshadecolor etc. have apparently been replaced by the more general withshademethod, withshadevector, withshadecolors, etc. methods. I have issues converting the old withshading code to the withshademethod version. The old code had no problems shading to transparent: \definecolor [trans] [a=multiply, t=.5, s=.5] \starttext \startMPcode path p; p:=fullsquare xyscaled (8cm, 8cm); fill p withshading("linear", ulcorner p, llcorner p) withfromshadecolor \MPcolor{black} withtoshadecolor \MPcolor{trans}; \stopMPcode \stoptext The new code appears to work in general, but only if no shading to transparent is being used: \definecolor [trans] [a=multiply, t=.5, s=.5] \starttext \startMPcode % works fill fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor \MPcolor{trans}; fill fullsquare xyscaled (15cm, 15cm) withshademethod "linear" withshadevector (0,1) % works withshadecolors (red,\MPcolor{blue}) % fails %% withshadecolors (red,\MPcolor{trans}) ; \stopMPcode \stoptext How to make transparent shadings work with the new mechanism?

Distance between items
by Otared Kavian 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Dear List Members, I don’t remember how to tweak the distance between items: What I would like to have is a distance between items a little bit bigger than the distance between them when the option « packed » is given, but smaller than the distance between items when « packed is left out. Minimal example follows. Thanks in advance: OK %% begin example-itemize.tex \starttext \startitemize[n][style=bold] \startitem First item \stopitem \startitem Second item \stopitem \startitem Third item \stopitem \stopitemize I want the distance between items to be smaller than in the above itemize, but bigger than the one below… \startitemize[n,packed][style=bold] \startitem First item \stopitem \startitem Second item \stopitem \startitem Third item \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext %% end example-itemize.tex

ConTeXt on android via "debian noroot"-App
by Thomas Klein 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello ConTeXt-Crew, thank you very much for this fantastic application. I'm a former LaTeX-user and now I can't imagine to go back ever. Recently I tried to install ConTeXt in an android smartphone with help of the app "debian noroot". Everything went fine and I'm able to compile documents, but all \framed-Commands lead to the error-message "tex error on line 2 in file...: !You can't use '\hrule' here except with leaders" The minimal example is: \starttext \framed{Hello} \stoptext I suspect the cause for this might be missing packages (metapost?). Can you give me any hint, what packages I have to install? I installed the ConTeXt Standalone from contextgarden and I'm running context version 2016.01.18 22:21 (ConTeXt Process Management 0.63). I already tried to install the package texlive-metapost, but it didn't help. Help would highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance Thomas Klein.

Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

Usage of label in startsection etc.
by Jan U. Hasecke 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi list, on this page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startsection the argument "label" is not explained. Since the argument "reference" is used for the text references \in, \at and \about I wonder what "label" is used for? TIA juh
