Problems with setfirstline
by Rik Kabel 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Setfirstline does not seem to be working well with most fonts, perhaps all. The example below shows the issue. \define \Fonts {libertinus,ebgaramond,termes,antykwa, cambria,minion,bonum,heros,pagella,iwona} \define[1] \Setupbodyfont{\setupbodyfont[#1,11pt]} \define[1] \DisplayExample{\switchtobodyfont[#1]\getbuffer} \setupfirstline [alternative=line, style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps}] \setupinitial [location=text,n=2,color=darkred] \setuphead [chapter][ after={\blank[big]\setfirstline\setinitial}] \setuphead [section][continue=yes, after=\setfirstline] \startbuffer \startchapter[title=Initial and first line: \Word{\fontclass}] \startparagraph \input darwin \stopparagraph \startsection[title=First line only] \startparagraph \input montgomery \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input sapolsky \stopparagraph \stopsection \stopchapter \stopbuffer \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Fonts]\Setupbodyfont \starttext \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Fonts]\DisplayExample \stoptext -- Rik

Is this a bug in header marking?
by Rik Kabel 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

As a followup to my query on suppressing header marking, I have prepared an example which clearly shows odd, if not buggy behavior. The book places chapter openings on recto pages which follow a verso that may have an epigraph. When there is no epigraph, the blank verso is properly unmarked by a header, but when there is an epigraph, the header from the previous chapter appears on the page. How can I eliminate this orphan header? \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[section]}] [{\it\getmarking[chapter]}][] \starttexdefinition unexpanded startSectionEpigraph \dostartbuffer [SectionEpigraph] [startSectionEpigraph][stopSectionEpigraph] \stoptexdefinition \setuphead [chapter][ beforesection=\setups{chapter:epigraph}] \startsetups chapter:epigraph \page[yes,left]% same result with yes,header,footer,left \doifelsebuffer{SectionEpigraph} {\getbuffer[SectionEpigraph] \resetbuffer[SectionEpigraph]} {\donothing} \page[yes,header,footer,right] \stopsetups \starttext \completecontent \startfrontmatter \startchapter[title=Preface] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \startchapter[title=Chapter First] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \startSectionEpigraph Why does this page have the heading from the previous chapter? \stopSectionEpigraph \startchapter[title=Chapter Second] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \startSectionEpigraph Look up! \stopSectionEpigraph \startchapter[title=Chapter Third] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter Final] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \stoptext -- Rik

Remove header after ToC
by N. Raghavendra 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

I am a ConTeXt beginner. I am having trouble getting rid of the header after the ToC in a document that I am preparing. The following is a simplified version of the document. I get a header with "2" on the left edge, and "Chapter ." on the right edge, on page 2, which is an empty page after the ToC. How do I remove the header on this page? Thanks, Raghu. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \starttext \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setupheadertexts [] \setupfootertexts [] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[section]}] [\pagenumber] [\pagenumber] [{Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber].\ \getmarking[chapter]}] \setuphead [chapter] [page={yes,header,footer,right}, header=empty] \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \startchapter [title=A chapter] \startsection [title=A section] Some text \stopsection \page \startsection [title=Another section] Some text \stopsection \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \stoptext ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- N.

Suppress chapter title marking on blank page after chapter
by Rik Kabel 14 Oct '17

14 Oct '17

In a doublesided document, how can I suppress the chapter title marking in the header of the blank page that follows a chapter in which the text ends on a recto page? I do not want to suppress the header. The following example shows the problem on pages 4 and 6. I notice that the Contents chapter does not exhibit this problem (page 2). But checking the source for /completecontent/ provides no useful information. Indeed, when I use /title/ instead of /chapter/, as done in strc-lis.mkvi, page 2 gets the marking as well! \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[section]}] [{\it\getmarking[chapter]}][] \setupheadertexts [margin] [] [{\inframed[frame=off,leftframe=on,loffset=1em] {\userpage}}] [{\inframed[frame=off,rightframe=on,roffset=1em] {\userpage}}] [] \setuphead [chapter] [header=nomarking] \startbuffer[testt] \startchapter[title=Chapter] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \dorecurse{\numexpr2*\recurselevel\relax} {\startsection[title=Section] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopsection} \stopchapter \stopbuffer \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{3}{\getbuffer[testt]} \startchapter[title={Chapter Last}] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext -- Rik

up and down arrows
by Wim 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Dear all, Can anybody explain me why I can't use TeX constructs like: \left\downarrow \vcenter to 1.5cm{}\right. \Big\downarrow in mathmode in Context. It doesn't work with other downward or upward arrows either. Or are there alternatives in Context? Thank you, Wim W. Wilhelm

Dear list, invoking latest beta (2017.10.10 12:00) with --result="/home/ousia/%e-2UP.pdf" gives the following error message: results are to be on the running path, not on '/home/ousia', ignoring --result This worked fine untill recently. Is there another way to specify the directory for the output file? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

issue with external image and PDF/A-3a
by Pablo Rodriguez 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Dear list, I have this minimal sample: \setupbackend [format=PDF/A-3a, intent=sRGB IEC61966-2.1, profile={sRGB.icc,default_gray.icc}, level=0] \setuptagging[state=start] \setupcolors[cmyk=no] \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \externalfigure[transparent] \stopTEXpage \stoptext The external figure is available from http://pdf.ousia.tk/transparent.pdf (and output file at http://pdf.ousia.tk/transparent-pdf-a-3a.pdf) Using veraPDF (http://verapdf.org/) the output document doesn’t comply with the validation profile requirements. As Luigi wisely predicted, external images may be problematic. I get one error, because of the color of the external figure: https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation-profiles/wiki/PDFA-Parts-2-an…. The PDF object in question is the following: 12 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Form /FormType 1 /BBox [ 0 0 316.896 215.5669 ] /Group << /Type /Group /S /Transparency /I true /CS /DeviceRGB >> /Resources 21 0 R /Length 71 >> stream q 0.188235 0.392157 0 rg /a0 gs 28.348 187.219 260.203 -158.871 re f Q endstream endobj Well, this is a minimal sample, but my real document is much bigger. Is there any way to convert the stream to something that ConTeXt can handle directly? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

ICC profiles for \externalfigure
by Pablo Rodriguez 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Dear Luigi and Hans, I have the following sample: \setupbackend [format=PDF/A-3a, intent=sRGB IEC61966-2.1, profile={sRGB.icc,default_gray.icc}, level=0] \setuptagging[state=start] \setupcolors[cmyk=no, pagecolormodel=auto] \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \startTEXpage[offset=1em, align=center] \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[cow-black] \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[cow-brown] \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[basic-figures.pdf][scale=200] \stopTEXpage \stoptext The third external figure is found at http://pdf.ousia.tk/basic-figures.pdf. I included it, since it adds a transparency group (and I guess this might be relevant). PDF/A-3a validation (http://verapdf.org) warns about XObjects not having any ICC profile. Would it be possible to add the "profile" key to \externalfigure, so that each figure may have its own profile (or the reference to the profile) added? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
