aligning a table alignment with local footnotes
by Alan Bowen 30 May '17

30 May '17

What is the best way to center a table and control/fix the textwidth of the local footnotes? I currently have: \starttext \startbuffer[Tab01] \startlocalfootnotes \bTABLE \bTR\bTD So\eTD\bTD what% \footnote{\input knuth} % <= \eTD\eTR \eTABLE {\placelocalfootnotes} \stoplocalfootnotes \stopbuffer \startplacetable[title=Test, align=middle] {\getbuffer[Tab01]} \stopplacetable \stoptext If the footnote is commented out, the table is centered (as I want it). With the footnote, the table is flushleft. I have managed to get what I need by defining the \hsize of the footnotes and tweaking the loffset of the table. But a general, less “empirical” approach would be vastly better. Alan Alan

Many thanks, Hans. This is very fine solution for the tables that I have, since they are quite wide.

Formula numbers in RTL mode
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 28 May '17

28 May '17

Hi Hans, I recall something like this was reported a few months back, and you said you were reworking math alignment mechanisms at the time. Now that you're getting ready for the Tex Live version, I want to bring attention to this issue once again, in the hope of getting it resolved. Formula numbers are not placed at the far end when in RTL. Here is a MWE: \starttext \input knuth \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2. \stopformula \righttoleft \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2. \stopformula \stoptext Attached is the result from context version 2017.05.14 19:09. Using \setupformula[location=left] gives similar results with directions swapped: output is as desired in LTR but slightly off the edge in RTL. Thanks, MHB

issue with annotation flags
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 May '17

27 May '17

Dear list, I have the following code: \setupinteraction[state=start, color=] \enabledirectives[references.border] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \useURL[url1][http://some-url.com]\from[url1] \stopTEXpage \stoptext The annotation code in the PDF file reads: << /Subtype /Link /A 7 0 R /Rect [12.354 10.896 131.607 25.324] /C [0.6 0.6 0.6] /F 4 /Border [0 0 0.5]>> I need to report a bug in a PDF viewer with printing the annotation (in this case, it is only border). The code that generates the annotation is (with some removals): local plus = { -- /F Invisible = 2^0, -- 1 Hidden = 2^1, -- 2 Print = 2^2, -- 3 NoZoom = 2^3, -- 4 NoRotate = 2^4, -- 5 NoView = 2^5, -- 6 ReadOnly = 2^6, -- 7 Locked = 2^7, -- 8 ToggleNoView = 2^8, -- 9 LockedContents = 2^9, -- 10, } I assume that /F is set to NoZoom in the sample above (bit position 4). Acrobat displays the annotation flag set to NoZom. The developers assume that 4 is actually the decimal conversion for a binary number (100, actually bit position 3). So it prints the annotation border in the sample above. It took me a while to understand this (math is all Greek to me). Is there a way that I can set the annotation flag in the sample above to Print (/F 3)? (This would be unambiguous, since only a bit can be set [11 would be an invalid flag value].) Or am I missing something and Acrobat is misbehaving? Sorry for such a weird request, but bug reporting has become extremely complex these days ;-). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Re: [NTG-context] problem with mathmode in footnotes

To recap: the aim is to get oldstyle numerals in mathmode using TeX Gyre Termes otherwise; \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][TeXGyre Termes][features=f:oldstyle] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][mm][TeX Gyre Pagella] [preset=math:digitsnormal, features=f:oldstyle, scale=0.93] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm][TeXGyre Termes Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt] 123456789 Euclid \emph{Elem}.\ 3.20 states that if $BC$ is joined to the center $O$ of the circle, then $\angle BOC = 2\cdot\angle A$, and $\angle BOC$ is equal to arc $BC$, that is, $BC\kern-1em\raise1.8ex\hbox{\frown}$.% \footnote{\m{123456789} Euclid \emph{Elem}.\ 3.20 states that if $BC$ is joined to the center $O$ of the circle, then $\angle BOC = 2\cdot\angle A$, and $\angle BOC$ is equal to arc $BC$, that is, $BC\kern-1em\raise1.8ex\hbox{\frown}$.} \stoptext in mathmode in the footnote, ones gets: (a) oldstyle numerals (from Pagella) but no math symbols etc (b) if the line preset=math:digitsnormal is commented out, math symbols etc but but regular numerals.

Placing of integral limits
by Mathias Schickel 25 May '17

25 May '17

Dear list, I think that the placement of the indices of integrals has some issues, at least in some fonts. If you try \setupbodyfont[cambria] % \starttext % \startformula % \int\nolimits_a^b f % \stopformula % \stoptext or if you replace Cambria by Stix Two using \setupbodyfont[stixtwo], you will notice that the index a is placed a little too far away form the integral sign. The reference is the „exponent“ b and the Word output. I think the Word output should be the reference here because the font design of Cambria is done by Microsoft and Word supports the font as intended. Apart form that you see the very same effect using Latin Modern and this font should look similar to Computer Modern in LaTeX. Best regards Mathias

\start pagefigure not working as expected
by cryo shock 25 May '17

25 May '17

Hi guys, I created a CTX document and now I am trying to merge it with two other pages from another (already compiled) pdf document. Usually I did this job with PDF Split And Merge software, but if CTX (mkiv, LuaTeX) is capable of doing the job, I'd be glad to use CTX instead. On the wiki I found a code snippet that sounds promising, as I don't want headers, page numbers etc. on the two merged pages: \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure So I added another line with page=2 as content, yet the output generates a PDF with the *first page twice* only. In fact, my precompiled doc has 3 pages, of which I want the first two only in my new PDF, even when I use the following code, LuaTeX generates the first page of the precompiled PDF *three times*: \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=3]\stoppagefigure \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=5]\stoppagefigure Like I mentioned: even although there is no 5th page in file.pdf, LuaTeX pastes the first page three times... Am I overlooking something or was there some undocumented change to the code? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

setupitemgroup and 'command='
by Thomas Floeren 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hi, I used to use the “command=” parameter when setting up itemize. Now I noticed that it introduces a spurious horizontal whitespace after the item symbol when the item is of type “\sym{}”. I also noticed that the problem goes away if I use “inner=” instead of “command=”. Example: \setuppapersize [A6] \starttext \start \setupitemize [each][command={\setupwhitespace[none]}] With \type{\command=} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{20}{bla } \sym{Y} \dorecurse{20}{bla } \stopitemize \stop \setupitemize [each][inner={\setupwhitespace[none]}] With \type{\inner=} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{20}{bla } \sym{Y} \dorecurse{20}{bla } \stopitemize \stoptext This is with ConTeXt 2017.05.15 21:48. With an older ConTeXt, for example 2015.01.13 15:54, “inner=” and “command=” deliver identical, correct results. So, I’m asking, has “command=” been deprecated or is it just a bug? Or was I using it the wrong way, and “inner=” is the only correct parameter in the example above? Thanks for any info, Best wishes, – Tom -- For macOS: http://dflect.net/context-typeset-tool/

In extensions-001.tex (http://minimals.metatex.org/current/context/test/doc/context/tests/mkiv/fon…) there is an example how to add or change the kern between two chars: fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "ktest", type = "kern", data = { a = { b = -500 }, } } Can this be used to implement also a "Single adjustment positioning" which would effectivly change the width of character? (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko/topic_feature_file_syntax.html#6…) (I tried a few probable variants but got either errors or no effect at all). -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

\doifmode error with question blocks
by Jan Willem Flamma 18 May '17

18 May '17

Dear list members If using modes to show or hide certain part of the text. In the MWE below the part between the startmode[test] .. stopmode works jus fine. When using the \doifmode construction an error is produced on the position of the closing curly bracket. I prefer to use \doifmode constructions because they can be nested. The question block must play a role here but I don’t know why. Am I overlooking something here? Kind regards, Jan Willem Flamma ======== \enablemode[test] \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \starttext \doifmode{test}{ \input knuth \beginquestion \startquestion Question \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer Answer \stopanswer \endanswer } \startmode[test] \input knuth \beginquestion \startquestion Question \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer Answer \stopanswer \endanswer \stopmode \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] \overline and \overbar
by Jeong Dal 18 May '17

Dear, I am sorry to bring up \overline, \overbar, and \bar issue. Here is a sample file and I attached two pdf files which were compiled using two different version of ConTeXt. Under the LuaTeX v. 1.03, ConTeXt ver: 2017.03.02 22:23 MKIV beta, the output overlineB.pdf is OK, but under the LuaTeX v. 1.04, ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.14 19:09 MKIV beta, the output overlineA.pdf is strange. Would you please check what is the problem? Thank you.

(re)defining command with options
by Florian Grammel 18 May '17

18 May '17

While visualising index-entires in the margin using \version[temporary] isn't implemented for MkIV yet, I'd like to define a basic stand-in in the meantime: \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer, style=itxx] \define[1]\myindex{\index{#1}% \inmargin{#1}% } But occurrences of e.g. \myindex[CONTEXT]{\ConTeXt} break these simple definitions. Is there an easy way to define commands with options and/or patching (extending) existing commands? Thanks in advance! Florian. ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

Spurious vertical space above figure
by Henri Menke 18 May '17

18 May '17

Dear list, Motivated by this question on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/370292 I found out that in a full-page figure there is a spurious vertical space of .5\baselineskip above the figure. I was not able to find out where it comes from. Is this by design? MWE is below. Cheers, Henri --- \showframe \starttext \input knuth \startplacefigure [location={leftpage,none}] %% remove spurious vertical space %% don't ask me where it comes from %\blank[-.5\baselineskip] \externalfigure [dummy] [height=\textheight,width=\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stoptext

Dear list members, I’m trying to make certain text standout from the surrounding text by adding a colored rule to the side. See below MWE.

problem with align in natural tables
by Alan Bowen 15 May '17

15 May '17

I am having trouble centering a table: \setupTABLE[align=middle] %flushright] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD Sun \eTD\bTD Aries\eTD\eTR \eTABLE produces a table that is flush left with ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.12. align=middle used to be sufficient. So what has changed or what have I missed? Alan
