Dear list, does context split table cells like Word (sorry for that ;-)) would do? (Please see the attached pdf examples). The table_test was generated with \starttext \bTABLE[split=yes] \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=3.5cm] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=11cm] \dorecurse{3}{\bTR \bTD xxx \eTD \bTD \input knuth \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stoptext kind regards Erik

Redirect compilation to another .pdf?
by Lukáš Procházka 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Hello, is there a way to tell ConTeXt to generate a .pdf named otherwise instead of the name derived from file to be compiled? Let's have A.tex to be compiled and an existing A.pdf which cannot be written into, e.g. due to being open by a viewer. The "context.exe A.tex" fails as the A.pdf cannot be open for writing. The "context.exe A.tex --result=A2.pdf" fails too, as Ctx tries to write into A.pdf (derived from A.tex) first and later tries to rename A.pdf to A2.pdf. There is a way - "copy /y A.tex A2.tex & context.exe A2.tex" but it has some disadvantages - the .log, .tuc etc. will be named A2.log, A2.tuc etc., messages will refer to "A2" rather than to "A" etc. So best seems to me to have an option to tell ConTeXt to produce a .PDF WITH A DESIRED NAME from the beginning... Is there a way to do so? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

two questions about \definefontfamily
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Hi all (especially Wolfgang), I have two questions about the font selection mechanism. 1. Three weeks ago you replied to a question from Pablo Rodriguez and wrote (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085508.html) "You have to use scale instead of rscale for the \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily commands for the moment but I will change it to rscale." In the meantime, you have changed this keyword. I have lots of styles that use "scale." Would it be very inconvenient to leave "scale" as a legacy synonym / alternative to rscale? That would be my feature request... 2. The following example: \definefallbackfamily [Test] [serif] [GentiumAlt] [range={greekandcoptic,greekextended},force=yes,rscale=3] \definefontfamily [Test] [serif] [TeX Gyre Termes] \setupbodyfont [Test,10pt] \starttext Test Μῆνιν ἄειδε \stoptext does not produce any output. It I replace "Test" with the lowercase "test," I get the expected output. Do you have an explanation for this? Thanks, and all best Thomas

A rather special case of a chapter-start
by Willi Egger 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Dear list! I have a book, in which I should repeat the title of the book on top of the first chapter title. - I thought that should be solvable with playing with the headertexts. However it seems, that it is not possible to force ConTeXt to place the headertexts-contents for a chapter, yes it displays the header space (header=empty} or removes the header space (header=high) in \setuphead[chapter]. MWE: \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout [header=40pt, headerdistance=10pt] \setupheader [state=normal] \setupheadertexts [Why not visible?][][][] \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty] \setupbackgrounds [header] [frame=on] \starttext \input ward \page \startchapter[title=test] \input knuth \page \input ward \stopchapter \stoptext Hints would be welcome! Kind regards Willi

Bug with setuplanguage
by Aditya Mahajan 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Hi, I discovered this bug while answering a question on TeX.SX. Consider: \define\cyrdash{\dontleavehmode\scale[sx=0.80]{---}} \unprotect \setuplanguage [\s!ru] [ \c!midsentence=\cyrdash, \c!leftsentence=\cyrdash, \c!rightsentence=\cyrdash, ] \protect \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext Normal text|<|English \mainlanguage[ru] Normal text|<|Russian \stoptext The pdf shows: Normal text—English Normal text„Russian Why the quote instead of the emdash. The output is okay is if \mainlanguage is set before |<| is used for the first time. Aditya
