Problem with definelabel and footnotes
by Rik Kabel 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

I have a document with hundreds of labels generated by \definelabel. They are used to index quotations in the text. Some of these occur in notes. Previously I had all such notes at the end of the book, as endnotes, but an editor requested a version with the notes as traditional footnotes. When the notes with labels appear in footnotes, the labels are not printed. The MWE below demonstrates the problem. I would expect to see a red 2 at the end of the first line of the footnote. I have tried to use \defineenumeration instead of \definelabel, but I cannot get a comparable result to what I have with definelabel. Is this a bug in the footnote typesetting, or a problem with my expectations? \setuppapersize[A6] \definelabel [Qi][text=,alternative=inright,headcolor=red] \definenote [pagenote] \setupnotation [pagenote][way=bypage,numberconversion=set 2] \definenote [endnote] \setupnotation [endnote][way=bytext,location=none,conversion=numbers] \starttext {\Qi}An index in the margin.\par Text with a numbered endnote with an index\endnote{% {\Qi}The numbered endnote with its index. The numbered endnote with its index. The numbered endnote with its index.% } and a marked pagenote with an index.\pagenote{% {\Qi}The marked pagenote, but where is the index? The marked pagenote, but where is the index? The marked pagenote, but where is the index?% }\par \page The endnote follows.\par \placenotes[endnote] \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

Module for Markdown: any volunteer to make a ConTeXt interface?
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hi, There's a really nice module for processing markdown: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown that has been presented during the TUG meeting and is included in TeX Live. It theoretically works for ConTeXt (the output is perfectly usable), but it needs a cleanup of the user interface to turn the options on and off. For example, it would be nice to use something like \setupmarkdown [fencedCode=true] rather than \def\markdownOptionFencedCode{true} Is anyone willing to look into the code and help the author fix the interface? (I can add it to our distribution if needed.) Mojca

complete cut marks
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Dec '17

03 Dec '17

Hans, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuplayout [marking=on] \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth] \stoptext These cut marks are lost after the first cut. Would it be possible to have a marking=crossed such as the one proposed in the attachment? (BTW, I added them by hand with Inkscape, this is why they look awful.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

results are to be on the running path, not on 'build', ignoring --result
by Jan U. Hasecke 28 Nov '17

28 Nov '17

Hi all, I am using a Makefile to call context on a XML-file. With older versions of context I could build the PDF in a special targetdir defined in the Makefile. The call of context is a follows: pandoc $(SRC) $(CONTEXTOPTIONS) --variable include-after="<div class=backmatter><sub>Version: $(ID)</sub></div>" -o tmp.xml && contextjit --purgeall --environment=env.tex --mode=trimsize,no-coverpage tmp.xml --result=$(TARGETDIR)/$(TARGET)-$(ID).pdf But I get the error message results are to be on the running path, not on 'build', ignoring --result Is this intended? -- Das ZEN von Pandoc Bücher und E-Books einfach und professionell produzieren http://www.amazon.de/Das-ZEN-von-Pandoc-professionell/dp/1505218799/ Paperback (232 Seiten) und E-Book

'lua.registercode' bug in latest beta
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

Hi, Using '\ctxloadluafile' can get an error: ``` ..ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-cod.lua:50: bad argument #1 to 'gmatch' (string expected, got nil) ``` It seems to be caused by 'if options ~= ""' in `lua.registercode'. That empyt string should be 'nil'? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

definefallbackfamily and uppercasedoublestruck not working?
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

Hi! I use the Neo Euler which has no doublestruck characters. Maybe I use old code, but I really think that the following has worked before: %%% \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math][range=uppercasedoublestruck] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Neo Euler] \setupbodyfont[mainface,12pt] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=3pt] Test: $\blackboard C$ or $\mathbb C$ \switchtobodyfont[pagella] Test: $\blackboard C$ or $\mathbb C$ \stopTEXpage \stoptex %%% I would expect doublestruck letters in the output on the first line. The resulting file, compiled with a fresh Standalone, is attached. Best regards, Mikael

extreme tables cell spanning interference: a bug?
by mf 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

Dear list, i've found that a cell spanning across multiple rows in extreme tables interferes with a cell spanning across multiple columns on a common row. Ok, if that is not so clear, try this: ---------------------------- \starttext The first cell spans across 3 rows. The cell in the last row should span across 2 columns, but it's actually one column large. \startxtable[align={middle,lohi}] \startxrow \startxcell[ny=3] 3x1 \stopxcell \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[nx=2] 1x2 (why 1x1?) \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable Now the first cell spans across 2 rows, and the first cell of the last row spans across 2 columns as expected. \startxtable[align={middle,lohi}] \startxrow \startxcell[ny=2] 2x1 \stopxcell \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \startxcell 1x1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[nx=2] 1x2 (ok!) \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext ---------------------------- Best wishes, Massi

Adjust rendering of BibTeX entries
by Dr. Thomas Möbius 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Dear list, I would like to render BibTeX-entries with the provided APA-style, however, in the text use superscript cross references. I have the following issues, which I don't know how to resolve. I was hoping, you could help me. 1. When choosing the style APA, the change to \setupcite seems to be ignored, see the minimal example below. (When changing alternative=apa back to alternative=ams, it works again.) 2. As I am citing bibliography entries with numbers, adding letters to the end of the publication years makes no sense. How can I loose the letters? Now, also the provided AMS-style adds these letters, which I don't think should be the case, too. 3. The edition field when citing a book is rendered wrong. It should be 7th edition followed by a period. (Compare this with the ams-style, where the edition field is rendered correctly.) How can I add the period and automatically add the st, nd, rd, th to a edition number? 4. Say, I would revert back to AMS-style but using superscripts rather than the [#Number] default. How can I loose the square brackets in the reference section? Thank you very much in advance.
