TABLE: Problem with column widths
by Lukáš Procházka 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hello, I'd like to typeset a very simple natural table: - table width to be "maximum of the current scope" (typically \textwidth) (option = stretch) - 1st column to have width of 1 in, - 2nd column to have (maximum) remaining width (typically \textwidth - 1 in) Let's have two (almost identical) TABLEs - the only difference is that the latter inputs zapf whilst the former doesn't: ---- %\showframe \starttext Table 1: \bTABLE[option=stretch] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1in] \bTR \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD %\input zapf % !!! \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank Table 2: \bTABLE[option=stretch] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1in] \bTR \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD \input zapf \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext ---- What's wrong with the Table 1? Its first column should have width of 1 in!? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Notes after a chapter
by Ursula Hermann 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hello list, I would like to have notes after a section. Now I would like to know: in the command\setupfootnote there is a key called :after, but the key had a red color, i dont know if i could need it, and i dont know what command i should give in the key after: maybe after=section? Sorry for the long text below. My second question is: When there are notes, which are after all sections, what there is the right command: I have : \setuppapersize[A4] \definelinenote[note] \setuplinenote[note] \setupdescription[note] \starttext \startchapter \mainlanguage[de] DIE INFORMELLE WIRTSCHAFT Zwischen neuen Entwicklungen und alten Rahmenbedingungen Das Wachstum einer informellen Wirtschaft in den Großstädten hochentwickelter Länder wirft neue Fragen über die Beziehung auf, die heute zwischen der Wirtschaft einerseits und den gesetzlichen Regelungen andererseits besteht. \note {1}Den Begriff »informelle Wirtschaft« verwende ich für jene einkommenbringenden Tätigkeiten, die außerhalb der gesetzlichen Regelungen stattfinden, aber dennoch denen, die sich daran halten, ähneln; so werden Umfang und Wesen der informellen Wirtschaft dennoch durch diese Regelungen, denen sie sich eigentlich entziehen, bestimmt. Aus diesem Grund kann man das Wesen der informellen Wirtschaft, der Schattenwirtschaft, nur dann erfassen, wenn man sie in Beziehung zur offiziellen Wirtschaft setzt, also zu den geregelten einkommenbringenden Tätigkeiten. \stoptext Thank you Uschi

Yes. Problem solved. Thank you. (It has been nice that the previous versions have been very forgiving for a fool like me.) Best regards, Robert

What is wrong with \stopintro?
by Robert Blackstone 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Dear all, One my project files, that In previous versions of the standalone mkiv compiled without any problems, doesn't compile in the standalone I installed recently (version 2016.07.18 16;26). It gives me an error warning hat I don’t understand: +++++++++++++++++ tex error > tex error on line 191 in file TD-Ch0-R1-index-UTF8-4CUP.tex: ! Missing number, treated as zero <to be read again> \23>>currentnamedsection \popmacro ...m_syst_helpers_push_macro \endcsname \global \advance \lastname... l.191 \stopintro +++++++++++++++++ The processed file starts with: ++++++++++++++++++ \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead [intro] [number=no,alternative=middle,style=\tfa \bf] \startcomponent TD_Ch0-Intro.tex \intro[bookmark=,label=,list={Introduction},marking=,reference=ch:Intro,title={Introduction}] +++++++++++++++++++ and ends on line 191 with the error-causing command: \stopintro I should add that this particular file is input in the projectfile that also uses many others, like setup-files and .bbl's. It is however this particular file, TD-Ch0-R1-index-UTF8-4CUP.tex, that gives me problems. What can I do about this (other than compiling with an older version of mkiv) ? Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Command line tool for macro definitions
by Henri Menke 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Dear list, For TeX/LaTeX users there is the neat command line tool `texdef` with which you can show the definition of a macro. Here an example: $ texdef -t latex section \section: \long macro:->\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@ }{-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}{\normalfont \Large \bfseries } Is there something similar for ConTeXt? It is quite tedious to either grep the full source or setup an extra dummy document to use \show or \meaning. Cheers, Henri

emergency stretch not taken in account in some cases
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Dear all, In some cases specifying \setupalign[stretch] does not seem to have any effect with latest betas (live, 2016.06.20 22:14 version are fine, but 2016.07.18 is not), and the output has now overfulls instead of (admitedly a bit large) underfulls. Attached simple (albeit bit extreme) MWE. Sorry for the relatively large MWE but could not figure out how to make it shorter. emergency_stretch.pdf produced with latest beta (updated with first-setup.bat today). emergency_stretch_ok.pdf produced with 2016.06.20 22:14 version. Thanks a lot for any advise. Best regards Joseph Canedo
