framedtable frame
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 May '17

21 May '17

Hi all, I am hitting a slight imperfection in the new framedtable mechanism. Example included; question: is it possible to have the same behavior in cell frames as in the natural table in the third part of my example? Thanks, and best wishes Thomas \starttext \start \setupframedtablecolumn [1] [width=3cm,align=normal] \setupframedtablecolumn [2] [width=3cm,align={normal,verytolerant,stretch}] \setupframedtablecolumn [3] [width=3cm,align=normal] \setupframedtablecolumn [4] [width=3cm,align=normal] \startframedtable \startframedrow \startframedcell One \stopframedcell \startframedcell Cell Two has a slightly longer text \stopframedcell \startframedcell Three \stopframedcell \startframedcell Four \stopframedcell \stopframedrow \stopframedtable \stop \blank [line] \start \setupframedtablecolumn [1] [width=3cm,bottomframe=off,align=normal] \setupframedtablecolumn [2] [width=3cm,bottomframe=off,align={normal,verytolerant,stretch}] \setupframedtablecolumn [3] [width=3cm,bottomframe=off,align=normal] \setupframedtablecolumn [4] [width=3cm,bottomframe=off,align=normal] \startframedtable \startframedrow \startframedcell One \stopframedcell \startframedcell Cell Two has a slightly longer text \stopframedcell \startframedcell Three \stopframedcell \startframedcell Four \stopframedcell \stopframedrow \stopframedtable \stop \blank [line] \start \setupTABLE [frame=on] \setupTABLE [column] [1] [width=3cm,align=normal] \setupTABLE [column] [2] [width=3cm,align={normal,vertolerant,stretch}] \setupTABLE [column] [3] [width=3cm,align=normal] \setupTABLE [column] [4] [width=3cm,align=normal] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD One \eTD \bTD Cell Two has a slightly longer text \eTD \bTD Three \eTD \bTD Four \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop \stoptext

change width of a character with fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature
by Ulrike Fischer 19 May '17

19 May '17

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

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
