columnset and placefigure
by Henri Menke 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Dear list, I'm using columnsets to typeset stuff for a conference poster. I can't use paragraphs or columns, because these do not allow to set frames or backgrounds. Currently I do not use the column-spanning features, but I might in the future. The thing is, when I place a figure using `\placefigure` and the column distance is too large (i.e. the columns too narrow), the figure is not placed on spot but flushed to the next page. I'm unsure what the exact value for this threshold is and based on which criteria the figure is flushed. While this is not a problem in a normal document, it is for sure for a poster (I have not seen any multi-page posters yet). Please find below an example to illustrate my problem (with version 2016.05.17 19:20 from TL2016).

Windows 10, TeXLive 2016, and grep
by Br. Samuel Springuel 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Where can I find the applicable documentation for the grep script included in TeXLive on Windows? I.e. the one called with `mtxrun -script grep ...`. In particular I'm interested in knowing which grep options are available and which are not. `man mtx-grep` lists only 4 options (pattern, count, nocomment, and xml). Are those really the only options available? -- ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Br. Samuel, OSB St. Anselm’s Abbey Washington, DC (R. Padraic Springuel) PAX ☧ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ

What's the difference between \dontleavehmode and \leavevmode?
by Henri Menke 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Dear list, could someone please explain what is the difference between \dontleavehmode and \leavevmode? Internally, I also stumbled upon \quitvmode. Is this a synonym for \leavevmode? It seems to be primitive. Cheers, Henri

Detecting content out of print/page area ?
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Dear all, I was wondering if there were any sort of tool (beyond manual eye inspection) in general sense, either printing some warning in log file, or visually in output document, or even reading pdf file, that would help determining if for a some page there is content that is typeset outside (partially or even worse totally) the print/page area. If not, could the approach of using a lua function to inspect nodes after shipouts task could possibly work (although not very easy to implement maybe) : local report_check = logs.reporter("user", "check") function userdata.page_check(head) local realpage = tex.getcount('realpageno') report_check('Page ' .. realpage) -- TODO: code to check stuff is inside print area return head, false end tasks.appendaction("shipouts", "after", "userdata.page_check") tasks.enableaction("shipouts", "userdata.page_check") Many thanks Best regards Joseph Canedo

\definemathcommand lowers the text

Hi! look at the output of this (attached) \definemathcommand [D] [nolop] {\mfunction{D}} \starttext Compare $\D f$ with $\mfunction{D}f$. \stoptext In the \D, the D is lowered a bit. I think it should not be, or else I misuse something. If so, how should I define my own operator (I found this example on the wiki). /Mikael

I hope it helps, > > Pablo Hi Pablo, Thanks for your suggestion. I did try to insert this code where I thought I might help, though must admit that I'm not sure what to do with the argument [frontpart]. In my projectfiles, admittedly rather a mess, there is nothing with the name frontpart. Anyway, with or without this or some other possibly more appropriate argument, nothing changed the behaviour of this, or rather a blockquote in this first chapter, not even surrounding the blockquote itself with \setupinterlinespace[small] ... \setupinterlinespace[reset], as I wrote in my original post. But, while I was writing this reply it occurred to me that maybe there might be some local variant for \setupinterlinespace[small] and, yes, I found \setuplocalinterlinespace[line=4ex] on the ConTeXt wiki and this does the trick. (with [line-3ex]). So you did help me, though maybe not in the way you intended ;-) Thanks again, Best regards, Robert

Fonts in same directory.-
by Freddy Omar López Quintero 17 Aug '16

17 Aug '16

Hello! Today I was working perfectly but after an OS update, I started to have some problems with fonts. In particular, I use to put the font files (.ttf) in the same directory where .tex are placed, but now I'm getting this message: simplefonts > font ''avenirnext'' not found but I have not moved the font files. Could you please give some advices to solve this issue? In this link you guys can check a simple example of my compiling: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2k327a5a2uzgvg2/AAD84XyQZqbdzg_8atVjdRg5a?dl=0 Thanks in advance! -- «...my role is to be on the bottom of things.» Donald Knuth
