bug in \definefallbackfamily?
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 May '16

22 May '16

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [preset=range:greek] \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont [mainface, 100pt] \starttext χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά \stoptext >From what I read in i-context.pdf, "force=yes" is the default setting for \definefallbackfamily. I’m using latest beta from 2016.05.19 13:43 and this setting seems not to be working. Could anyone confirm that I have hit a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Support for Optional Content Groups
by Chris Chapman 22 May '16

22 May '16

I am new to ConTeXt (coming from LaTeX), and am really impressed. Great work! I am working on a document that has layers that I want to be screen-only, similar in approach to this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/167846/implementing-full-page-screen… I am assuming that Optional Content Groups would be the best way to do this. How would I set something up like this in ConTeXt/LuaTeX? I know I could make a screen-only version and a print version of the output pdf, but I want to have my cake and eat it too ;) Thanks in advance, Chris Chapman

\page[header]
by Meer, Hans van der 22 May '16

22 May '16

According to the description of \page in the contextgarden: "header - set header off temporarily" But although this gives two pages numbered 1 and 2: \starttext \input knuth \page \input knuth \stoptext This one does not honour the new page but typesets everything on page 1: \starttext \input knuth \page[header] \input knuth \stoptext As that as intended?

Typing environment on non-ASCII
by Hans Åberg 22 May '16

22 May '16

The typing environment does not seem to work on non-ASCII characters: below, ∀, ≔ and ∈ drop out. Perhaps not available in monospace, substituting nothing. \setupbodyfont[xits,10pt] \starttyping ∀(i, k) ∈ I×K: C(i, k) ≔ ∑_(j∈J) A(i, j)·B(j, k) \stoptyping

new features
by Hans Hagen 22 May '16

22 May '16

Hi, (mostly for Thomas) In the next beta: When you include files in another file (using xmlinclude) we now register what gets included. There are two new commands: \xmlinclusion{#1} : the current inclusion \xmlinclusions{#1} : a list of inclusions the first one backtracks till it find a name and the second one will locate the root if needed. This option can be handy for tracing (i.e. seeing where input comes from). Another addition is that \definemode[something][keep] define an undefined mode; the keep makes sure that the already set value is kept (another option is 'yes'). Using defined modes (that is, set with: \enabledmode, \disablemode or \definemode) can be tested about twice as fast as undefined modes which can make a small difference when modes are tested lots of times.

Nolimits not working with Unicode characters
by Hans Åberg 22 May '16

22 May '16

In the example below, the nolimits directive [1] is not working in display style on a Unicode integral sign ∫ U+222B, though it works with \int, and in inline style. Example below compiled with ‘context’ of TeX Live 2015. - I have found no differences between using STIX and XITS fonts. 1. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupmathematics ---- \setupbodyfont[xits,10pt] %\setupbodyfont[stix,10pt] \setupmathematics[integral=nolimits] Nolimits $\int_0^∞ f ω$, and $∫_0^∞ f ω$ \startformula \int_0^∞ f ω,\quad ∫_0^∞ f ω \stopformula ----

bibliography tool
by Gour 22 May '16

22 May '16

I was browsing docs in the contextgarden but not sure what is available for handling bibliography in ConTeXt today? Afaict, RefTeX is for LaTeX only, I recall there was(is). (My dev environment is Debian Linux/Emacs/AUCTeX.) Sincerely, Gour -- Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.

Thick border of one side of TR/TD
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 22 May '16

22 May '16

Hello, what is the easiest way to border table row along ONE side? In my example - first row bottom and last row top? All being typeset as TABLE (i.e. \bTABLE ... \bTR ... \bTD ...). I played a bit with rulethickness for TD and/or TR but in all attempts the WHOLE border thickness is affected. I guess that the bordering style of the table attached is often needed; I would be nice to have something like \bTR[bottomrulethickness=thick] or something... How to achieve this?

flushleft and startplacefigure
by Meer, Hans van der 22 May '16

22 May '16

\startplacefigure inherits a lot of location settings but among these flushleft and flushright are missing. Thus the \setupfloat in the example cannot be omitted. Wouldn't it be a logical step to make possible also: \startplacefigure[location=flushleft] dito for flushright? \starttext % example to extend figure into the left margin (Hans Hagen, 2014-07-25) \setupfloat[figure][location=flushleft] \startplacefigure \framed[width=1.1\textwidth]{location=flushleft} \stopplacefigure \stoptext Hans van der Meer
