fonts
by Hans Hagen 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Hi, At the last context meeting it was decided that he groups will support the upcoming stages of the tex gyre font project. The work is done by the polish font gurus and so far they have been funded by the user groups. However, this time not all groups join in, while still substantial funding is needed for this stage that will run for several years. For a while there is already an entry for the project on: https://www.tug.org/donate/dev.html If you use the free math fonts you might consider donating there. After all, we depend on these fonts and there is still work to do: adding symbols to text fonts, a bold (heavy) companion for titling, a sans for titling, a monospaced math font for editing and manuals, completion, etc. The font folks have always delivered so donations will be well spent. ConTeXt has always been the first to use these fonts and I sort of assume that we will get these additions done as well, as it will make our live so much easier.

text–formula separation inside a frame
by Florian Leupold 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Dear list, Sorry for posting a duplicate, but I guess my previous post got lost during the conference... I have got a problem with spacing before a formula inside a frame. The text–formula separation somehow is bigger when it occurs in a frame (see MWE below). Is there an explanation, and/or (even better) a possible fix? Thanks a lot! Florian MWE: \defineframed[Framed][width=\textwidth, height=5cm, align=normal] \starttext This formula is preceded by normal spacing: \placeformula[-]\startformula 1+1=2 \stopformula \Framed{ This formula somehow is preceded by too much spacing: \placeformula[-]\startformula 1+1=2 \stopformula } \stoptext

imposition broken in latest beta?
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Dear list, I’m using latest beta from 2016.09.24 12:40. I have the following sample: \showframe \setuppapersize [A5][A4] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, marking=page, location=doublesided, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \starttext \filterpages[setup-en.pdf][1:10][width=0cm] \stoptext The PDF document is i-context.pdf from the ConTeXt Suite (tex/texmf-context/tex/context/interface/mkiv/i-context.pdf). For some reason that I don’t understand, the imposed page suffers a size reduction, as it is clearly displayed on the first page. With "location=doublesided", even pages are misplaced on the inner margin. Text is even cut (as displayed with this sample). Am I missing something in my sample or have I hit a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

annotated text: main text in narrower text, annotations on the right
by MF 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hello list, I need a feature like the one described in http://www.pragma-ade.nl/gen eral/magazines/mag-1102-mkiv.pdf for annotated verbatim, but for normal text. Think about the main text flowing in a narrower text, with the annotations (like unnumbered sidenotes) in a widened right margin. Or think about a right margin moved left locally, as long as you need annotated text. Thanks, Massi

two questions on imposition
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6,landscape] \setupbodyfont[pagella, 12.1pt] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I don’t get it imposed four times on a single A4 sheet: \showframe \setuppapersize [A6][A4, landscape] \setuppaper[nx=2,ny=2] \setuparranging [XY] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \starttext \filterpages[knuth-card.pdf][1,1,1,1] \stoptext What am I missing here? Imposition is clearly wrong. The second question is how can I do the whole process in a single file using buffers. \savebuffer might be the way to save the buffer, but how can I typeset it to load the pages later with \filterpages? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

prevent indent after usage of defined itemgroup
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Dear list, I don't know if I ask weird questions or if people are just occupied. If I break some rule, please tell me... Anyways, here is another one: It seems that the indentnext is ignored below. The resulting pdf is attached. I use a rather updated ConTeXt standalone. %%% Test file \setupindenting[yes,medium] \defineitemgroup[abc] \setupitemgroup[abc][each][a,columns,three][stopper=,right=),margin=0pt,before={\blank[big]},after={\blank[big]},inbetween={\blank[medium]},indentnext=no] \starttext \startabc \startitem First \stopitem \startitem Second \stopitem \startitem Third \stopitem \stopabc This text should not be indented. \stoptext %%% End test file /Mikael

If you prefer a solution which also protects users' privacy you might like to contact the MetaGer team located at Hannover. They also offer customised searches. MetGer already provides such a service for Universities. You could include all TeX-related mailinglist (and usenet and even web forums) archives which I think would be a good thing. Restricting search results should work with an advanced search interface. Best, Jürgen.

Mailing list search software
by Taco Hoekwater 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi all, After the ConTeXt meeting, we were inventorying the old sub-sites of contextgarden.net, in preparation of one or two new ones to appear within the next months. One thing that we used to have was a site that ran the “Lurker” software, providing dedicated searching of the mailing list archives for context-related mailing lists. That site is now gone (it was part of Patrick Gundlach’s server) and we are wondering whether it makes sense to revive a site dedicated to mailing list searches. And if people are indeed interested, we could use some advice on what software should we be using for the new site: * Lurker has not been updated since 2009, making it a fairly bad choice. * Mailman v2 has a horrible interface, and besides is not handling long-running threads properly and has almost no support for attachments. * Mailman v3 uses HyperKitty as replacement for pipermail. The output looks promising, but it is a Django application meant to be tightly integrated with the actual mailman instance (at least that is my understanding?) Surely there must be something better out there? Or maybe we should not care at all and use Google indexing only like we do now on the wiki? Best wishes, Taco
