Hello, I would like the text of the property is in italic without using the environment {\it}.

Go to odd page, use an empty page eventually?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, is there a way to tell ConTeXt "go to odd page, insert empty page to reach the next odd page" eventually? (IOW: When currently on odd page, break page and insert one empty (blank) (= even) page; continue on the next (= odd) page. When currently on even page, break page (and do nothing more) (and continue on the next (= odd) page). ) In the following example: ---- \starttext Page 1 \page[odd] %\page[odd,empty] %\page[odd,header,footer] Page 3 \stoptext ---- - \page[odd]: page 2 holds header and footer (unwanted) - \page[odd,empty]: adds one page with header and footer (unwanted), then inserts an empty page (unwanted) - \page[odd,header,footer] = \page[odd] Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

first-setup.bat weirdness II: xetex etc.
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Dear syndicate, As mentioned in my other message, "first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system" I've now switched to the first-setup.bat way of updating. Two pieces of weirdness on the main machine: 1. mtx-context | running command: xetex --ini --etex --8bit cont-en.mkii \dump makes vista complain: ===================== xetex.exe - Unable to Locate Component This application has failed to start because xetex.dll was not found. <etc.> ===================== Pressing OK, xetex crashes and things continue until 2. mtx-context | running command: xetex --ini --etex --8bit cont-nl.mkii \dump Then the same error occurs. After xetex crashes things continue briefly till first-setup.bat exits. Everything works fine, except that every now and then the following happens when I run a file: ===================== This is LuaTeX, Version 0.97.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) system commands enabled. . <*> cont-yes.mkiv ? ===================== A fresh run of first-setup.bat makes the problem go away but it is annoying. After getting even more weirdness when cloning to another machine -- see "first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system" -- it seems appropriate to put this one out to the forum as well. Any explanations and advice would be appreciated. Never had these problems using when updating manually... Thanks in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Restoring/switching paper size?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, why this code doesn't restore A4-portrait for page 3? ---- \showframe \starttext Page 1 \page \adaptpapersize[A4,landscape] Page 2 \page Page 3 \stoptext ---- (I need to mix A4 portrait/landscape pages in a document...) When I need to switch to landscape for more pages (e.g. for long large tables; \adaptpapersize is not enough as it changes just one current page), is there something like: \pushpapersize \page \setuppapersize[A4,landscape] ... more pages ... \poppapersize Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Dear gang, In the past I updated to the latest via installing cont-tmf.zip (and luatex.exe if needed) manually, but recently I switched to first-setup.bat. I got things working on one 64-bit machine (vista), and want to set up context on another (windows7), also 64-bit. Normally all I need to to do is zip/rar the tree, move it to the second machine, and voila, I'm up and running. This time, however, it doesn't work; when I run a file I get ===================== This is LuaTeX, Version 0.97.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) system commands enabled. . <*> cont-yes.mkiv ? ===================== as well as a complaint from windows7: ===================== Assertion failed! Program: C:\<path>\luatex.exe File: variable.c line: 36 Expression: kpse -> program_name ===================== What do these two complaints each mean? After this, I tried running first-setup.bat again on the windows7 machine, got the following errors: ===================== mtx-context | running command: pdftex --ini --etex --8bit cont-en.mkii \dump warning: c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49: (kpathsea) No cnf value on lin e: OSFONTDIR =. This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) (INITEX) \write18 enabled. entering extended mode ! I can't find file `cont-en.mkii'. <*> cont-en.mkii \dump (Press Enter to retry, or Control-Z to exit) Please type another input file name: [:] mtx-context | running command: pdftex --ini --etex --8bit cont-nl.mkii \dump warning: c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49: (kpathsea) No cnf value on lin e: OSFONTDIR =. This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) (INITEX) \write18 enabled. entering extended mode ! I can't find file `cont-nl.mkii'. <*> cont-nl.mkii \dump (Press Enter to retry, or Control-Z to exit) Please type another input file name: ===================== Since I don't use mkii I ignored these errors and moved on, although both files are there in the tree - and I do not get this error on the original/vista machine. In any case, when I now run a file I get the same two luatex errors as at the beginning of this message. What's going on here? How do I fix it?

How to extend btx rendering?
by Henri Menke 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Dear list, It is common in physics (and probably mathematics) that papers are uploaded to an electronic archive prior to publishing them in the peer-review literature. In physical sciences this is https://arxiv.org. To cite such articles one usually uses the following format, here on the example of the most recent contribution to the Condensed Matter section: N.A. Kudryashov, A.A. Kutukov, and E.A. Mazur, Normal State of the Metallic Hydrogen Sulfide, arXiv:1607.04624 (2016). To reproduce this kind of format I tried to extend the APS rendering (see the long example below, sorry). Unfortunately, this does not work, because apparently the `eprint` and `archivePrefix` fields are not read in. The combination `eprint` and `archivePrefix` is used, because this is what the LaTeX package `biblatex` expects. How do I extend the btx rendering by these additional fields? Cheers, Henri --- \startbuffer [references] @article{Kudryashov2016, title = {Normal State of the Metallic Hydrogen Sulfide}, author = {Kudryashov, Nikolay A. and Kutukov, Alexander A. and Mazur, Evgeny A.}, year = {2016}, eprint = {1607.04624}, archivePrefix = {arxiv} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[references.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \definebtx[aps:list:eprint][aps:list][style=\tt] \starttexdefinition unexpanded btx:aps:eprints \btxdoif {eprint} { \btxstartstyleandcolor [aps:list:eprint] \btxdoif {archivePrefix} { \btxflush{archivePrefix}: } \btxflush{eprint} \btxstopstyleandcolor } \stoptexdefinition \startsetups btx:aps:list:article \texdefinition{btx:aps:author} \texdefinition{btx:aps:optional-title} \texdefinition{btx:aps:doi-url} {\texdefinition{btx:aps:journal-volume-year}} \texdefinition{btx:aps:eprint}% extension to APS style \texdefinition{btx:aps:note} \stopsetups \starttext \cite{Kudryashov2016} \placelistofpublications \stoptext

xtable align
by John Kitzmiller 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

In the first table, the lohi of align works, but the middle does not have any effect. Putting the content in a frame gives the desired result as in the second table. This is not a problem, I just wondered if it is supposed to work in the first table. Thanks, John \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \showframe \startxtable[frame=on,height=7cm,option=stretch,align={lohi,middle}] \startxrow \startxcell \externalfigure[dummy][width=5cm,height=5cm] \stopxcell \startxcell \externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm,height=3cm] \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \startxtable [frame=on,height=7cm,option=stretch,align={lohi,middle}] \startxrow \startxcell \framed[frame=off,width=local]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=5cm,height=5cm]} \stopxcell \startxcell \framed[frame=off,width=local]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm,height=3cm]} \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext

Wrong alignment in natural tables?
by cryo shock 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hello together. I noticed a thing in CTX some time ago which bothers me. Please check the following code: \starttext \bTABLE \bTR \bTD[width=90px,align=left] align=left? \eTD \bTD[width=90px,align=right] align=right? \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Can you verify that it's working like expected? Because when I compile it with latest beta i have the opposite alignment. Greetings, Seba
