Hello list, What is correct way to set bold italic font in math? \definefontfamily [Mainface] [rm] [Minion Pro] \definefallbackfamily [Mainface] [mm] [Minion Pro] [preset=math:lowercaseitalic] \definefontfamily [Mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[Mainface] \starttext \startformula abc123 \stopformula \stoptext Thanks.

align text and formula
by Jan Willem Flamma 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Dear list, I would like to include text on the same line as a formula. The text needs to be left-aligned and the formula needs to be mid-aligned (as per normal). I’ve tried various solutions from the mathalign MyWay but have not succeeded to get the desired result sofar. Below a M-Not-WE. Clearly, the formula is not positioned correctly yet. Who can help me out? Regards, Jan Willem \starttext \setupformulas[align=flushleft] \startformula \startalign[n=2,align={left,middle}] \NC \text{Text1} \NC E = mc^2 \NR \NC \text{Text2} \NC E = mc^2 \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext

Back on grid after displayed math
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

Hi! Im curious how to get back to the grid after a displayed formula? I try \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setupformulas[align=middle] \starttext \input knuth \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \input knuth \stoptext (where the \setupformulas[align=middle] was suggested in a comment at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/254815/grid-on-aligned-equations-in-… , but that makes no difference) but that does not work (result attached). Would it be easier if there were also an option saying how many lines the equation should take? Say, \startformula[lines=3] a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula and then centering the formula (or having options for that) vertically over the three lines? Maybe that is a not a good idea for some reason... /Mikael

Use \unit for value and uncertainty
by Florian Leupold 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Dear list Is it possible to use the units module (in MKIV) for value plusminus uncertainty in a way similar to the \SI command in LaTeX, like \unit{(1.59\pm2)e-19 coulomb} or \unit{1.59(2)e-19 coulomb}? Thanks and best regards, Florian

Footnotes in footnotes
by Jose Luis Arellano 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

Dear list, I want to report a possible bug (I think), when one try to put a footnote into another footnote, here is MWE (from wiki): \starttext This\footnote{Or that\footnote{Or possibly even the other.}, if you prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote. \stoptext As you can see, the second footnote is not placed in the page. Thanks.

itemize columns transposed
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi! I wonder if it is possible to automatically have the itemize in columns and have the order changed (in effect, the whole itemization should be transposed) so that one gets a b c d e f instead of a c e b d f With automatically, I mean that one could use some keyword instead of adding a \stopitemize\startitemize[continued] in the middle (found here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations#Multicolumn) See the example below, resulting pdf is attached. /Mikael \starttext \startitemize[a,columns,three,intro][stopper=,right=)] \item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize[a,columns,three,intro][stopper=,right=)] \item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \stopitemize \startitemize[continue] \item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitemize \stoptext

mathmatrix and grid
by Henri Menke 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Dear list, I noticed that when using grid=both then the height of a mathmatrix is rounded down for no apparent reason whereas the depth is rounded up correctly. Visually it appears to me that the height should be rounded up here. In the MWE I added a \vrule to show that the determined height of the line definitely does not coincide with what one would expect. How can I fix that? MWE is below. Cheers, Henri --- \setuplayout[grid=both] \showgrid \starttext \input knuth \startformula \vrule % make lineheight and depth visible \startmathmatrix \NC A \NR \NC B \NR \NC C \NR \stopmathmatrix \stopformula \input tufte \stoptext

MKIV caption separator, revisited
by Rik Kabel 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Has any progress been made in the past few years implementing modifiable separators for captions under MKIV? This was raised as an issue by (at least) Mojca Miklavec in December 2010 (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg51542.html) and by Andy Thomas 18 months later (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg63937.html) (Their issues with stopper have been resolved. In MKIV it is numberstopper.) Here is an MWE demonstrating the problem. It compiles cleanly, but the separator remains the default period. With MKII, it generates a figure with a hyphen and not a period. \setupcaptions[separator=-] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \chapter{Chaptername} \section{Sectionname} \placefigure[here][fig:1]{Caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \in{See Figure}{.}[fig:1] \stoptext -- Rik Kabel
