Strange problem with Blockquote
by Robert Blackstone 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Dear all, I have a small but nasty problem with the book I’m (still) working on. Its 10 chapters contain many Blockquotes, and they all come out as intended except one, in the first, unnumbered, chapter “Introduction". That particular blockquote v]comes out like the others only as far as its width and its fontsize are concerned, but unlike the others it insists on keeping the same interline distance as the main text. Even that would not have been too much of a problem if it had not spoiled the layout by pushing a rather large float off the page, leaving a large gap. This particular chapter is input by means of the Frontmatter file, as is Ch1, which also contains several Blockquotes, that come out OK. When I process this chapter “Introduction" separately with the same setups the blockquote also comes out allright. When, as a test, I input that chapter again, the second time through the Bodymatter, then again it comes out allright (while the blockquote in the real Ch0 keeps its large interline distance). I have tried the following: - add the setup for the blockquote to the Frontmatter file - add the setup for the blockquote also to the Ch0 file itself - add \setupinterlinespace[small] in the text just before the blockquote and \setupinterlinespace[reset] after it. None of this has changed the interline distance of the blockquote one bit. Is there anybody on this list for whom this problem is or sounds familiar and who knows a remedy? If not, which information would I have to give to make a diagnosis possible? (It may be evident that it is impossible to show the problem in an MWE.) Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Using hyphen in math mode
by Brian R. Landy 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to access the hyphen symbol (0x002D) while in math mode? I want to avoid the standard remapping to Unicode minus 0x2212. It would also be workable if I could select the math font without switching to math mode. The problem with an approach like \math{\text{-}} is that it switches the font back to the text font and does not use the math font. I.e, I'm trying to get the true hyphen symbol set in whatever font is currently defined for math mode. Best regards, Brian

placelocalfootnotes breaks center alignment
by Henri Menke 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

Dear list, sometimes, one wants to place footnotes in a table which then appear right below the last row. Therefore ConTeXt ships the clever `\start...\stoplocalfootnotes` mechanism. Unfortunately, putting `\placelocalfootnotes` outside of the table breaks the centering of the table itself. For illustration please see the example below. How can I have my table centered while the footnotes are either left-aligned with respect to the left border of the table or left-aligned with respect to the page (whatever is easier)? Cheers, Henri --- \starttext \startplacetable [title={some table}] \startlocalfootnotes \startTABLE \NC Content\footnote{Footnote} \NC\NR \stopTABLE \placelocalfootnotes % commenting out unbreaks alignment \stoplocalfootnotes \stopplacetable \stoptext

Missing hyphentation in natural tables (was: French hyphenation issue in tablepaired boxes)

The missing hyphentation has nothing to do with floats, footnotes or paired boxes but a result of the default alignment setting for natural tables. To change the default value for the alignment you can use the align key for \setupTABLE. \mainlanguage[fr] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] \starttext \setupTABLE[start][align=normal] %\setupTABLE[start][align=flushleft] %\setupTABLE[start][align={flushleft,broad}] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD « Dans la société présente, où le jeu de la spécialisation s’est outré automatiquement, les fonctions intellectuelles et les fonctions manuelles ne sont presque jamais attribuées aux mêmes ouvriers ; les ouvriers intellectuels délaissent presque tout le travail des mains ; les ouvriers manuels délaissent presque tout travail de l’esprit, presque tout exercice de la raison. » \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Wolfgang

Vertical space lost (\placefigure[right] before enumeration)
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

Hi! If I put a float in the right before an enumeration, the "before={\blank[line]}" seem to be lost. Please have a look at the example file below (pdf attached), where * Example 1 is set as I want it, * Example 2 is not (I would like to have a blank line before it, and * Example 3 is set as I want it, but I look for a solution where I do not have to inser the \blank[line] manually. * Example 4 is certainly not what I want. Any idea on how I can do to get the result of Example 3 automatically? /Mikael \defineenumeration[example][ text=Example, alternative=serried, width=fit, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}, ] \starttext \input knuth \startexample \input tufte \stopexample \page[yes] \input knuth \placefigure[right,high]{}{\blackrule[width=3cm,height=4cm]} \startexample \input tufte \stopexample \page[yes] \input knuth \blank[line] \placefigure[right,high]{}{\blackrule[width=3cm,height=4cm]} \startexample \input tufte \stopexample \page[yes] \input knuth \startexample \placefigure[right,high]{}{\blackrule[width=3cm,height=4cm]} \input tufte \stopexample \stoptext

math font fallback for palatino \cal
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 14 Aug '16

14 Aug '16

Dear gang, Using pagella (palatino) for a project here. Unfortunately texgyrepagella-math.otf has a rather unattractive set of \cal caps; schola, termes, bonum etc. all use the same and much better-looking set. So I decided to try and define a palatino math set with the \cal caps from schola (= termes etc.). Succeeded after some trial and error: attached are the positive results. Others may find the experiment useful or even worth wikifying; it's a nice fallback exercise. Maybe there is a better or more up-to-date way to do this: In any case, feel free to critique the attached. Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Hello, After updating to the latest beta, TeXWorks shows an error message every time I open and compile a document. ("The procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library"). I don't undestand how pdftex is involved when I compile to luatex. Regards, Vyacheslav
