Unequal width columns
by Kip Warner 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hey list, I am trying to typeset a document similar to below: http://www.heptalysis.com/downloads/heptalysis_executive_summary_templa te.pdf My issue is with creating two columns of unequal width. As you can see the left column is smaller than the right side. I've tried the following: \startcolumns[n=2,rule=on] ...left side contents... \column ...right side contents... \stopcolumns Is there no way to set the first column to, say, 0.33\textwidth ?

How to add missing commands?
by Henri Menke 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Dear list, I just documented \headsetupspacing in the Garden. While doing so, I noticed that \headsetupspacing is missing from the ConTeXt commands reference (setup-en.pdf). How can I add commands there? Cheers, Henri

I'm an idiot
by Henri Menke 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Dear list, I just documented \headsetupspacing in the wiki. However, due to my stupidity, I created the page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/headsetupspacing rather than http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/headsetupspacing Instead of moving the first to the second, I copied over the content with the intent of deleting the first right afterwards. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a delete button which is intended, I guess. Could please someone delete http://wiki.contextgarden.net/headsetupspacing for me? Cheers, Henri

\startsectionlevel broken?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hello, I'm getting weird output with \startsectionlevel - its parameters are flushed into page. I copied a sample from http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/strc-lev.mkvi?search=dodo and I compiled it with: " This is LuaTeX, Version 0.98.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) system commands enabled. system > synctex functionality is enabled (1), expect runtime overhead! open source > 1 > 1 > d:/Ctx-Beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2016.08.01 14:16 MKIV beta fmt: 2016.8.4 int: english/english " The source and result are attached... What's wrong? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

latest binaries for linux
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Dear Luigi, would it be possible to have version 0.98.0 binaries in the linux (32bit) platform for ConTeXt Standalone? This may fix a nasty bug with US English hyphenation. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Changing decimals points to Persian ones via font features
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Dear list, I want to add a customized font feature to the math font, to automatically change the decimal point (unicode 0x2E) to the Arabic/Farsi version (unicode 0x66B). This will go well with the mapping from Latin digits to Farsi digits (done in a sample with mathdigits fallback). For instance, I want to code in $123.45$ and get a result like ۱۲۳٫۴۵. However, I do not want to simply map 0x2E to 0x66B, because then "full stop" outside a number will also change. In particular, I'd like to have the mapping only when full-stop is preceded and succeeded by a digit. This will, among other things, leave the end-of-equation periods unchanged. Here is how I tried to achieve it. \startluacode digits = { 0x30, 0x31, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38, 0x39 } -- 0x66B instead of 0x2F gives an error! replacements = { [0x002E] = { 0x2F } } fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "mpf", type = "chainsubstitution", lookups = { { type = "multiple", data = replacements, } }, data = { rules = { { current = { { 0x002E } }, after = { digits }, before = { digits }, lookups = { 1 }, } } } } \stopluacode \definefontfeature[mathperiod][mpf=yes] \resetfontfallback [mathdigits] %\definefontfallback[mathdigits][dejavusansmono][digitsextendedarabicindic][check=yes,force=yes,offset=digitsnormal] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman][name:modern][features={math\mathsizesuffix,mathperiod},goodies=lm-math,fallbacks=mathdigits] \starttext $123.45.$ 123.45. \addff{mathperiod} 123.45. \stoptext Though this font feature works outside math, it does not seem to have any effect within the math font. Why is that? Can we add font feature to the math font? Are the character codes different? Notice that I could not get it to work, so I commented out the fallback for Persian digits, to make things simpler. To get the proof of concept, I am trying to change period to forward slash (see below). Is the syntax I use for having two features in \defontfontsynonym correct? Actually, I did try with only mathperiod and it does not work, either. When I change 0x2F (slash) to 0x066B in "replacements", I get an error as follows. fonts > otf chain > feature 'mpf', type 'gsub_contextchain', chain lookup 'mpf': rule 1 matches at char U+0002E (period) for (1,1,1) chars, lookuptype 'gsub_multiple' error: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-ots.lua:1232: attempt to index field '?'

luatex-0.98.0 for linux?
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Dear ConTeXt maintainers, would it be possible that ConTeXt Standalone for the linux platform had the latest LuaTeX binaries? Besides the update, I think it is important to confirm whether English hyphenation is fixed in the latest binary. The following sample: \starttext \hyphenatedword{schematic} \stoptext outputs "sc-he-matic" with luatex-0.95.0. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

drawpathoptions and drawoptions
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hi, I have two questions: 1) In the metafun manual I found (p 57 in the version I browse) a setting drawpathoptions. I tried with \startMPpage drawpathoptions(withcolor darkred); path p; p:= (0,0)--(1cm,1cm)--(1cm,0)--(0,1cm); draw p; \stopMPpage but the result turned out to be black. Isn't drawpathoptions available anymore, or do I misuse it? 2) If I run the code below \startMPpage drawoptions(withcolor darkred); path p; p:= (0,0)--(1cm,1cm)--(1cm,0)--(0,1cm); draw image ( draw p; draw p xshifted 2cm withcolor darkyellow; ); \stopMPpage everything gets dark red. Can I somehow change the color inside an image after setting a default color with drawoptions? If I do \startMPpage drawoptions(withcolor darkred); path p; p:= (0,0)--(1cm,1cm)--(1cm,0)--(0,1cm); draw p; draw p xshifted 2cm withcolor darkyellow; \stopMPpage I get the expected result (i.e. one darkred and one darkyellow path), but I want to use an image. /Mikael

marking in two pass data
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hi all, the example is kind of silly but shows my problem: I use Lua to manipulate data from xml files, and I want to typeset it as natural tables. Is it possible to set a marking within such tables so that it works in page headers? I hit a similar problem some time ago, but I'm not sure I found any good solution for it... Thanks Thomas Example: \starttext \setupTABLE [split=repeat] \definemarking [Test] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[Test][top]--\getmarking[Test][bottom]}] \startluacode samples = { { "A", "aesop-de.tex" }, { "B", "bryson.tex" }, { "C", "carey.tex" }, { "D", "cervantes-es.tex" }, { "E", "darwin.tex" }, { "F", "davis.tex" }, { "G", "dawkins.tex" }, { "H", "douglas.tex" }, { "I", "hawking.tex" }, } context.bTABLE() for _, k in ipairs(samples) do context.marking( { "Test" }, k[1]) context.bTR() context.bTD() context(k[1]) context.eTD() context.bTD() context.input( k[2] ) context.eTD() context.eTR() end context.eTABLE() \stopluacode \stoptext

Access to Intermediate Document after Pre-processing
by Malte Stien 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hi all, I am working with a reasonably complex document structure, where I make heavy use of the following constructs \input (to import a number of source files) \if and \newif (to switch between different paragraphs depending on some conditions) \setvariable and \getvariable (to reuse some text in different places) So, does ConTeXt run some sort of pre-processing step that processes all of the above and which results in an intermediate document that is then type-set? And is it possible to only run this pre-processing step and get access to that intermediate document? I am asking as I have some Ruby scripts that take ConTeXt documents and convert it to another format. However, those scripts do not deal with any of the above and rather than implementing the necessary logic to deal with importing of files, conditions and variables, I thought ConTeXt does that already if only I could get access to the resulting intermediate file. Does that makes sense? Thank you, Malte.
