TeX markup in \setupinteraction for PDF metadata fields
by Kate F 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Hi, Is it possible to have TeX markup executed in the text fields for \setupinteraction? I would like to do something like: \definemarking[xyz] \marking[xyz]{Hello} \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteraction[title={\getmarking[xyz][current]}] \setupinteraction[author={\getmarking[xyz][current]}] \starttext xyz=\getmarking[xyz][current] \stoptext But my generated PDF has literally "\getmarking[xyz][current]}" for the title and author. Thanks, -- Kate

pagereferences
by Meer, Hans van der 17 Jan '16

Defining \pagereference[xyz] en calling this some pages later with \atpage[xyz] I get as reference "at a previous page" (perhaps not exactly, the typesetting is done in dutch). This an unwanted result, that previous page is 7 pages before. How can I restrict this to either "on this page" or to the exact number of the page in question? Hans van der Meer

Automatic negative tracking to prevent slight overfull hbox's
by Alexander Dyomin 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Dear list, when I stumble upon a slightly overhanging line (where it's not allowed to hyphenate the hanging word and putting it on next line leaves huge whitespaces), decreasing letterspacing in that line seems like a good idea, and I manually insert \kerncharacters commands to do the trick. Here's a MWE for the purpose of demonstration: % ConTeXt code \setuppapersize[A5] \setupbackgrounds[text] [rightframe=on,framecolor=red,rulethickness=0.1pt] %right margin line \setupalign[hz,hanging] % microtypography enabled \definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \definetypeface[mainface][rm][specserif][Linux Libertine O] [default] \setupbodyfont[mainface,14pt] \mainlanguage[russian] \setupindenting[yes,medium,first] \starttext {\kerncharacters[-0.018] Здесь будет длинный-предлинный текст, \mbox{в~коем}} никак нельзя перенести строку. Запрещено { \kerncharacters[-0.008] разрывать телефонные номера, например, \mbox{(000)1234-5678}}, многозначные числа и дефисные написания. \stoptext Is the a way for automating such negative tracking? ---------------------------------- Best regards, Alexander Dyomin

Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Hello ConTeXist. I am trying to install a standalone ConTeXt on MacBook. I am doing everything exactly as instructed on contextgarden.net, but the installation will fail. It seems that the problem is with rsync, with copying the installation script first-setup.sh into my Mac. Since I am a longtime Windows user and I'm a newbie on OS X, I'd like to find out what the problem may be. I dont know nothing about OS X, but I suppose that might be a problem with the firewall settings or access rights to the directories which I use to install ConTeXt etc. Can someone please advise how to perform the installation? There is an option to download the installation package and install ConTeXt differently? Thanks for replies. Jaroslav Hajtmar

Error in latest beta: luat-exe.lua not found

Hi all, I just downloaded the new beta and I can not launch context anymore. It complains it can't find a 'luat-exe.lua' file: > system > lua > loading of file '/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-exe.lua' failed: > cannot open /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-exe.lua: No such file or directory > resolvers > lua > loading file '/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-exe.lua' failed > error loading file: luat-exe.lua (aborting) As I can see, the 'base' directory has been split up into 'mkii' and 'mkiv' subdirs, so maybe a link has not been updated. Context end up with this message: > This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.87.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev) > system commands enabled. > (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) When I launch 'context --version', I get: > mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.62 > mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv > mtx-context | context version: unknown, load error Thanks for yout help.

ddirectory search
by Meer, Hans van der 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

With for example \setupexternalfigures ConTeXt will search figure files in the directories specified on this command. Is there a corresponding \setup-macro for searching files one wants to input? So that after \setup....[direcory={..,..,..}] an "\input xyz" command (or anything alike) will find xyz.tex. Hans van der Meer

Latest LuaTeX version (was: Bug in command \framed)

No single platform (other than Akira's binaries) provides 0.87.1 or later. The latest LuaTeX release was 0.87.0, see: https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/viewvc.php/tags/?root=luatex and the garden ships binaries for 0.87.0 only. If you need a newer LuaTeX, we need a new LuaTeX release. Mojca (I initially missed this question as I often limit my reading based on subject.)

How to set the calligraphic font in the simplefonts module?
