\xmlloadfile undefined
by dr. Hans van der Meer 12 May '17

12 May '17

In the xml-mkiv.pdf manual is written on page 18: > \xmlloadfile {...} {...} {...} > > loads the file FILE and registers it under NAME and applies either given or standard XMLSETUP (alias: \xmlload) > However, \xmlloadfile gives an undefined macro TeX-error, allthough the given alias \xmlload is present (useed beta of 2017-04-16). Shouldn't macro \xmlloadfile be added? Besides \xmlloadbuffer and \xmloaddata that would appeal to my preference for systematic naming. By the way. In this document all descriptions "\macro{}{}{}" refer to arguments like FILE, NAME etc. but these are absent from the API as shown. I think presented as \xmlloadfile{NAME}{FILE}{XMLSETUP} for example, would be more informative (at least I guess I have the order right). Any way, I get confused with some of the other APIs and would be pleased if a newer version of the manual has them. Hans van der Meer

Dear Henri, Thank you for your reply. I used to use ‘\overline’ in LaTeX as shown in many texts, but it is time to change. Thanks again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Dear list, I'm trying to have indentation inside a framed text, but I do not succeed. Test file below, and result after compiling with latest standalone. Is this the intended behavior? Best regards, Mikael \setupindenting[yes,medium] \defineframedtext [MyFrame] [ frame=on, width=broad, indenting=yes, ] \starttext Indenting works here: \input knuth \startMyFrame But indenting does not work here: \input knuth \stopMyFrame \stoptext

\overline and \overbar
by Jeong Dal 10 May '17

Dear all, In the following sample, the outputs of \overline and of \overbar are slightly different. I used \overline in LaTeX. But it takes more vertical space that cause the alignment trouble while using \overbar has no problem at all. Is it normal behavior? Thank you.

BUG: % is comment in btx fields
by Henri Menke 09 May '17

09 May '17

Dear list, The percent character in btx field is taken as a comment characters which leads to the rest of the field being discarded. In the MWE below, the URL is cut off at the % sign and everything after it is lost. Cheers, Henri --- \startbuffer[references] @misc{kraft, author = "Kraft, Nathan", title = "Mr Kraft's Virtual Filing Cabinet", year = "2015", url = "http://mrkraft.wikispaces.com/Mr+Kraft%27s+Virtual+Filing+Cabi net" } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[references.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \starttext \nocite[kraft] \placelistofpublications \stoptext

problem with mathmode in footnotes

So far as I can tell, the problem comes with the specification of the fonts. If one omits the stuff before “\starttext”, the footnote looks as it should and everyone but the publisher would be happy.
