(bug?) wrong hyphenation with external fonts
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Dear list, just accidentally I discovered the following issue: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][MinionPro] \definefontfamily[anotherface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella] % wrong hyphenation too with TeX Gyre Pagella Math \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \hyphenatedword{LibreOffice libre office} \es\hyphenatedword{LibreOffice libre office} \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \setupbodyfont[anotherface]% \hyphenatedword{LibreOffice libre office} \es\hyphenatedword{LibreOffice libre office} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Hyphenation is wrong with fonts that don’t come with the ConTeXt distribution. TeX Gyre Pagella is hyphenated right, but MinionPro or even TeX Gyre Pagella Math are wrong hyphenated. I’m afraid it may be a bug. Could anyone confirm it? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Dear list, in this sample adapted from the documented code: \definepapersize[main] [A4] [A4] \definepapersize[extra][A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \starttext \setuppapersize[main] Page 1. \page Page 2. \page \setuppapersize[extra] Page 2 \page \setuppapersize[main] Page 3. \page Page 4. \page \adaptpapersize[extra] Page 5. \page Page 6. \page \startTEXpage[height=210mm, width=297mm] Page 6. \stopTEXpage \stoptext It isn’t possible to change the paper size. Only TEXpage does change the paper size. Could anyone confirm the bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

interactive reference
by Meer, Hans van der 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

In the ConTeXt reference manual in section 12.5 Cross references I find the following explanation: [cid:DD84C63C-7615-45C8-8BC0-DA1B83459B42@dynamic.ziggo.nl] I would like to set (interactive) references as the black triangles pointing forward and backward, as displayed here. Although I tried along the lines in the first example, as mentioned at the end of the text, I could not manage to get these triangles. How to? Hans van der Meer

\externalfigure produces blank page
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Hello, let's have a simple code: ---- \starttext \startTEXpage \externalfigure[Tv32.pdf]%[scale=500] \stopTEXpage \stoptext ---- It yields a blank (or empty) page (its size A1 is OK); and the size of the resulting .pdf is very close to that of the inserted image. The inserted Tv32.pdf is displayed correctly in Adobe reader, so why it is not processed by Ctx? I'm adding link to Tv32.pdf as it has cca 235 kB: http://leteckaposta.cz/616854330 I guess it used to work in the past... Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

anglestriped shifts path

I expect anglestriped to work more like fill, but it shifts the path. Is it intended behavior? \startMPpage[offset=2mm] path p; p = unitsquare scaled 4cm ; filldraw p withcolor blue; draw p; draw p anglestriped(0,0,0) withcolor blue; \stopMPpage Thanks, John

(bug?) interactive link areas and \scale
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Dear list, [Sorry for sending many bug reports at once, but I’m not at home. I have my laptop and I’m working with it. Internet access is extremely limited here. I work offline and prepare all messages to be sent later when I can get some internet connection.] I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[references.border] \def\mypersonalurl#1{\bgroup% \tt\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]\egroup}% \unexpanded\def\href#1#2{\goto{#2} [url(#1)]} \starttext \mypersonalurl{wiki.contextgarden.net} \scale[width=.5\textwidth] {\mypersonalurl{wiki.contextgarden.net}} \stoptext The link area in latest beta is wrong when \scale is used (second link). Link area is fine with latest stable and beta from 2015.11.19 19:13. I don’t have all betas, but it appears in beta from 2015.12.20 00:29. Could anyone confirm the bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

issue with break point
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

Dear list, I have the following code: \definebreakpoint[compound][—] \setbreakpoints[compound] \starttext \hsize\zeropoint Adobe—named {\em Adobe}—named \stoptext The second line doesn’t get the em-dash as a breakpoint. It seems to be related to the grouping. I’m afraid it may be a bug. Could anyone confirm this? Many thanks, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

which is the best/right element for elements in cover and title pages?
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Dear list, I have a template to generate book cover and title page for different documents. A sample of the output may be found at https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context/blob/master/doc/from-pandoc… (first two printed pages). Right now, their layout is hardcoded, such as for the title page (minimal version): \starttitlepagemakeup \vfill {\itd\BookTitle}\par}\blank[big] {\resetbreakpoints\itb\setupinterlinespace \BookSubtitle']}\par}\blank[3*big] {\sc \TheAuthor}{\\}} \vfill \PublishingDate \vfill \Publisher \stoptitlepagemakeup I want to be abole to customize this. But I don’t know which is the right element for those items. I mean, a head would be meaningless here for book title, subtitle, author, publisher and release date. They appear only once in the document. Which is the right element for those items? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Reprocessing part of input
by Meer, Hans van der 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

How to do the following eludes me. Inside macro -processing read into a buffer the following part of the input \startmyinput ...\stopmyinput Analogous to input containing \startbuffer[mystoragebuffer] \startmyinput ... \stopmyinput \stopbuffer but now not executed at once, but stored in and executable from a buffer with \getbuffer[mystoragebuffer]. But of course there might be a better way to execute the same code more than once within one run of TeX. Hans van der Meer
