special characters in URLs
by Alan Bowen 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

I need to establish links to URLs that include the ampersand (&) and number sign (#). e.g., http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/collections/imu-search-page/record-details/?TitInve… and http://www.davidaking.org/instrument-catalogue-TOC.htm#part6 How does one do this? The best I have done thus far is to get broken links that display as they should. Alan

(again) PDF info fields
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hans, sorry for insisting in this issue. I may be missing consecuences or requirements that make impossible its implementation. I see two inconsistencies in the following output: \def\BookTitle{{\itd A \ConTeXt\ Book}} \def\BookAuthor{{\sc The Author}} \setupinteraction[state=start, title=\BookTitle, author=\BookAuthor] \enabledirectives[references.bookmarks.preroll] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection] \starttext \chapter{\BookTitle} \section{\BookAuthor} \subsection{\ConTeXt\ is \TeX, but not \LaTeX} \stoptext Would it be possible that PDF info fields can have their contents prerolled as it happens with bookmarks? In the bookmarks, \ConTeXt\ is rendered as ConTEXT. Since “The TeXbook” only mentions \TeX and no \TEX, would it be possible to preroll \TeX, \ConTeXt and \LaTeX as TeX, ConTeXt and LaTeX? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

A new problem in old TOC
by Ursula Hermann 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

I have a problem with an old TOC. I tried to put in an Author, but the problem is, that there is so much distance between the forename and the surname, and than comes the title. Here my example: \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A4] \setupinteraction[state=start] % don't forget this line! % make chapter, section bookmarks visible when opening document \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter,section] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]\starttext \setuplist[chapter][width=fit] \setuplist[section][width=1em] \setuplist[subsection][width=1.5em, margin=0.6em] \setuplist[subject][margin=1.5em] \setupcombinedlist[content][list={part,chapter,section,subsection,subsubsect ion}] \setupinteraction [state=start, style=, color=, contrastcolor=] \setuplist [chapter] [after={\blank[line]}] \setupcombinedlist [content] [aligntitle=yes, alternative=c, interaction=all] \setuphead [part] [sectionresetset=, conversion=Romannumerals, placehead=yes, bodypartlabel=chapter] \setuphead [chapter] [sectionresetset=, conversion=, number=no, placehead=yes, bodypartlabel=part, sectionsegments=chater:chapter] \setuphead [section] [sectionsegments=section:section] \starttext \placecontent \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \setcounter[userpage][2] \startchapter [title={Ursula Hermann {Danksagung}}] \starttext \stoptext Could somebody help me? Do I need a special way? Uschi

different default size when imposing documents
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hans, after enabling image scaling in \insertpages (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/086114.html) I’m afraid that the default value and compatibility in imposition is broken. The minimal sample is the following: \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging [2UP] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option={landscape, paper}] \starttext \insertpages[whichever-document.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext Would it be possible to restore the width value to its previous default? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Access stylistic sets in lucidaot
by Henri Menke 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear list, I have been using the Lucida fonts for long time with LaTeX, either the Type 1 version through the `lucimatx` package or the OpenType variants with `unicode-math`. In `unicode-math` there is a straightforward way to select stylistic sets, e.g. alternative calligraphic glyphs. By default the `lucidaot` typescript switches off the alternative math italics, but I found a way to reenable them (basically just undoing what the typescript does). > \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] > % get alternative math italics > \setupmathrendering[lucidaot][it=] > \starttext > $\mathcal{C} = f(x)$ > \stoptext I only found this by chance; \setupmathrendering is not documented. Is there a more intuitive way to select the alternative math italics? Also, is there an easy way to access all the other features defined in `lucida-opentype-math.lfg`? This is the list: > alternates = { > italic = { feature = 'ss01', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Lowercase Italic" }, > arrow = { feature = 'ss02', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Smaller Arrows" }, > operator = { feature = 'ss03', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Smaller Operators" }, > calligraphic = { feature = 'ss04', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Calligraphic Characters" }, > zero = { feature = 'ss05', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Zero" }, > partial = { feature = 'ss20', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Upright Partial Differential" }, > }, Cheers, Henri

Adjust rule between columns
by Henri Menke 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear list, Is there a way to adjust the vertical rule which is set between columns? I tried the obvious keys, but they do nothing. \starttext \startcolumns [ n=2, rule=on, rulecolor=red,% does nothing rulethickness=5pt,% does nothing ] \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext Furthermore, is there a possibility to control the appearance of the rule per column as in the following (fictitious) commands? \setupcolumns[1][rulecolor=red,rulethickness=5pt] \setupcolumns[2][rulecolor=green,rulethickness=1pt] Cheers, Henri
