Expansion of date inside \section
by Mojca Miklavec 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi, I'm trying to generate daily reports and wanted to include the date in bookmarks, but there is some weird (non)expansion going on. I might just as well switch to lua for certain parts of the document (like cycling through dates), but I suspect that there must be some trivial hack to prevent me from getting my sections labeled date[y={2016},m={06},d={25}] \setupinteraction [state=start] \placebookmarks [chapter,section,subsection] [chapter,section] \setupinteractionscreen [option=bookmark] \def\generatesection#1#2#3{% \edef\dt{\date[y={#1},m={#2},d={#3}][year,-,mm,-,dd]} \setupheadertexts[{\dt}][pagenumber] \section{\dt} % \externalfigure[#1#2#3.pdf] } \starttext \chapter{Daily files} \generatesection{2016}{06}{25} \generatesection{2016}{06}{26} \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

Change font for footnote-symbols
by Alias 1 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hello ConTeXt-Users, I want to change the font for the footnote-symbols. I give a minimal example: \starttypescript [serif] [dejavu] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:dejavuserif] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [name:dejavuserifbold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [name:dejavuserifitalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [name:dejavuserifbolditalic] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[dejavu] \definetypeface [dejavu] [rm] [serif] [dejavu] [default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [latinmodern] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:latinmodernromanregular] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[latinmodern] \definetypeface [latinmodern] [rm] [serif] [latinmodern] [default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{foo\footnote{bar} } \stoptext I want to change the font for the footnote-symbols (the numbers 1, 2, 3 etc.) to latinmodern. How do I do this? I tried to add the commands \setupnote[footnote][textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[latinmodern]}] and \setupnotation[footnote][headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[latinmodern]}]. If I only add one of these, the symbols in the text/notes at the bottom of the page, get changed, but if I add both, only the font of the symbols in the text get changed (In front of the first footnote-symbol (the 1) there is also some whitespace added, which looks like a bug or something; or I used the commands in a wrong way). So I assume, this is not the intended way. But what is the right way to do it? Thanks for your help Jannik Voges

SOLVED: too many open files
by Henning Hraban Ramm 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Hi again, in my current songbook project I use t-filter with LilyPond as shown in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond with latest beta MkIV on OSX. Every line (system) of notes is included as its own PDF to leave the page breaking to ConTeXt. But since I have some hundred songs with each a few lines, it sums up... I guess ConTeXt keeps every externalfigure open, since I get this error: pages > flushing realpage 70, userpage 70 (c_helpmesee.tex structure > sectioning > TitelKlein @ level 2 : 0.83 -> Help Me See GNU LilyPond 2.16.2 ERROR: In procedure open-file: ERROR: Too many open files: "/Applications/music/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../share/guile/1.8/ice-9/r4rs.scm" LILYPOND > name='lilytemp/prd_alle-temp-lilypond-c_helpmesee.pdf' LILYPOND > including system no.1 LILYPOND > including system no.2 LILYPOND > including system no.3 LILYPOND > including system no.4 LILYPOND > including system no.5 ) (c_hochaufdem.tex </Users/hraban/workspace/liederheft/lilytemp/prd_alle-temp-lilypond-c_helpmesee-1.pdf> </Users/hraban/workspace/liederheft/lilytemp/prd_alle-temp-lilypond-c_helpmesee-2.pdf> </Users/hraban/workspace/liederheft/lilytemp/prd_alle-temp-lilypond-c_helpmesee-3.pdf> </Users/hraban/workspace/liederheft/lilytemp/prd_alle-temp-lilypond-c_helpmesee-4.pdfI/O Error: Couldn't open file '/Users/hraban/workspace/liederheft/lilytemp/prd_alle-temp-lilypond-c_helpmesee-4.pdf': Too many open files. !LuaTeX error: xpdf: reading PDF image failed ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! It works with songbook excerpts (some 30 songs). I don't understand if the error is really from LilyPond or from LuaTeX (I guess the former), and how I would be able to increase the number of possible files (in bash on OSX 10.8.4). So probably it's more a general Unix question than a ConTeXt one, but anyway... ANALYSIS: $ ulimit -n 256 $ sysctl kern.maxfiles kern.maxfiles: 12288 $ sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc kern.maxfilesperproc: 10240 SOLUTION: $ ulimit -S -n 2048 (Properly describing a problem often helps to solve it. I send this for the records, in case someone runs into the same.) Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Execute ConTeXt script from outside a project's directory
by Nicola 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Hello, I am looking for a way to run ConTeXt from an arbitrary (Unix) directory. I have tried with --path: cd / mtxrun --path /My/Project/Directory --script context main.tex but that just prints a path and exits: /Applications/ConTeXt-Beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/stubs/unix/context Is there a way to specify a project's directory?

[NTG-ConTeXt] Wrong order of sections and subsections
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Dear List In the wiki, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles, there is a MWE of how to flush section head data without typesetting it in the text. But then \placelist gives a wrong order of sections and subsections: 1 First section 1.1 First subsection 2 Second section 1.2 Second subsection 2.1 First subsection If \setuptexttexts is omitted and the argument placehead=yes instead of placehead=hidden, then the order is correct: 1 First section 1.1 First subsection 1.2 Second subsection 2 Second section 2.1 First subsection Am I missing something? Marcus Vinicius ______________________________- MWE from the wiki \setuphead [section] [placehead=hidden, page=yes] \setuphead [subsection] [placehead=yes, page=yes, continue=yes, style=\it] \setuptexttexts[{\placerawheaddata[section]}] \starttext \placelist[section,subsection] \page \startsection[title=First section] \startsubsection[title=First subsection] Lorem ipsum \dots \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title=second subsection] Lorem ipsum \dots \stopsubsection \stopsection \startsection[title=Second section] \startsubsection[title=First subsection] Lorem ipsum \dots \stopsubsection \stopsection \stoptext Marcus Vinicius -- Todas as coisas fatigam o corpo, salvo a música, que não fatiga nem o corpo nem seus membros, por ser descanso da alma, primavera do coração, distração do aflito, entretenimento do solitário, e viático do viajante.

enumeration header spacing control
by Jan Willem Flamma 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Dear members, In the MWE below the amount of vertical space between the enumeration header and the text seems to fully controlled by the global \setupwhitespace setting. The inbetween={\blank[nowhite]} setting seems to be ignored. I noticed this change of behaviour some weeks ago for the first time. Appreciate any suggestion on how to reduce the vertical space between the enumeration header and the text MWE \setupwhitespace[big] \defineblock [question] \defineenumeration [question] [alternative=top, after={\blank[2*big]}, inbetween={\blank[nowhite]}] \keepblocks [question] \starttext \input ward \input ward \startsection[title=Questions] \beginquestion \startquestion \dorecurse{10}{Text } \stopquestion \endquestion \beginquestion \startquestion \dorecurse{10}{Text } \stopquestion \endquestion \stopsection \stoptext Kind regards, Jan Willem Flamma

Flushleft formula
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Hi, Something has changed with respect to the align=flushleft option for formulas. Earlier (tested with 2016.05.08), align=flushleft did not remove the leftskip, but now it does. Consider the following example: \showframe \setupitemize[margin=6em] \setupformula[align=flushleft] \starttext \startitemize \item An equation inside an itemize \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \stopitemize \stoptext The output of 2016.05.06 is attached as test-old.pdf; that of 2016.06.16 is attached as test-new.pdf Is it possible to revert to the old behavior? Thanks, Aditya

Orphans and widows for specific paragraph groups
by Pavneet Arora 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

I have a couple of questions about preventing orphans for specific document blocks. These all relate to a web-based report card application I have written for a study abroad school client of mine. The ConTeXt file is being generated and processed out of a PHP Laravel framework app. I have stripped away most of the details as well as the application fonts, but the issue that I am facing is related to keeping the course header (done as a paragraph environment), \hairline, and the teacher's comment for that course together as a unit. At a minimum, I would like the three elements as a grouped and pushed to the following page. Ideally, and this is more for my own learning, I'd like to be able to have finer control---say the header, \hairline, and a set number of comment lines would be acceptable at the bottom of a page. What would be the best practices for this? advTHANKSance >>>> MWE \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Latin Modern Roman] \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Latin Modern Sans] \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][Latin Modern Typewriter] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm][Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface,9pt] % Set up default paragraph indenting and spacing. \setupindenting[yes, medium, next] \setupwhitespace[small] % Set up paragraph environment for subject header. \defineparagraphs [subjectpar][ n=2, before={\blank[2*big]}] \setupparagraphs [subjectpar] [1] [width=.3\textwidth] \starttext \blank[8*big, force] \dorecurse{10}{ \blank[2*big] \noindentation \startsubjectpar {\ss\tfc ENG4U} \subjectpar %% Need to keep the following together as a unit. {\ss\tfc English (Grade 12)} \stopsubjectpar \noindentation \vskip-2em\hairline \setupindenting[yes, medium, next] \dorecurse{1}{ \input lorem.tex } } \stoptext <<<< MWE -- Pavneet Arora m: +1 (647) 406-6843 Waroc Informatik t: +1 (416) 937-9276
