\setupinteraction "author" adds '"'
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 06 Jan '18

06 Jan '18

Hello, once the "author" member in \setupinteraction contains ",", Ctx adds (unwanted) quation marks into "author" field in PDF. So - how to avoid these '"'? My MWE: ---- \setupinteraction[author={Foo, Bar}] \starttext A \stoptext ---- Result - see the picture. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

xtables: rowwise, columnwise, and cellwise operations
by Henri 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

Dear list, The Natural Tables have this great feature that I can control the layout with rowwise, columnwise, or cellwise setups. For example: \starttext \setupTABLE [frame=off] \setupTABLE [r] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold] \setupTABLE [c] [2] [style=italic] \setupTABLE [2] [3] [color=red] \setupTABLE [r] [last] [bottomframe=on] \startTABLE \NC A \NC A \NC A \NC\NR \NC B \NC B \NC B \NC\NR \NC C \NC C \NC C \NC\NR \NC D \NC D \NC D \NC\NR \NC E \NC E \NC E \NC\NR \stopTABLE \stoptext How can I do such a thing with Extreme Tables? If it is not yet possible I'd like to request the inclusion of such a mechanism. Cheers, Henri

Hi Hans, I wish you and all the community a happy new year. I wanted to report a problem with yesterday’s beta release, version 2018.01.04 17:37, which is that no PDF ouput is produced when a file is typeset: % begin test.tex \starttext Hello \stoptext %end test.tex When issuing the command context —make —all the log file says : Your luatex binary is too old, you need at least version 1.06! Indeed the version of Luatex in the standalone tree is version 1.05. Best regards: OK

Why is [left=(, right=)] ignored when using the aps btx rendering specification?
by Dr. Thomas Möbius 04 Jan '18

Why is [left=(, right=)] ignored in \setupbtx when using the aps btx rendering specification? This works: \usebtxdataset [default] [../bibliography/bibliography] \setupbtx [default:cite:num] [left=(,right=)] \setupbtx [default:list] [left=(,right=),authorconversion=invertedshort] \starttext \cite[Carp:2012a, Carp:2012b] \cite[Weishaupt:2014] \cite[Knecht:2003] \cite[Jansen:2006b] \subject{References} \placelistofpublications \stoptext So, why does this not work? \usebtxdataset [default] [../bibliography/bibliography] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \setupbtx [aps:cite:num] [left=(,right=)] \setupbtx [aps:list] [left=(,right=),authorconversion=invertedshort] \starttext \cite[Carp:2012a, Carp:2012b] \cite[Weishaupt:2014] \cite[Knecht:2003] \cite[Jansen:2006b] \subject{References} \placelistofpublications \stoptext Thank you for your help.

about the baseline of \inframed{text} in the enumerations
by Jeong Dal 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Dear all, First, Happy New Year! In the output of the following sample code, the baseline of the framed text “Example” is slightly lower than the following sentences. But, in the wiki, \inframed is set center-aligned. Please tell me how to fix it. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[dGreen] [r=0,g=.375,b=.0] \definecolor[lGreen] [r=0, g=.625, b=0] \definecolor[lYellow] [r=.625,g=.625,b=.0] \definecolor[dYellow] [r=.375,g=.375,b=.0] \setupenumeration[alternative=serried,width=broad,distance=0.3em] \defineenumeration[ExamA] [text={\white\translate[en=Example, kr=예]}, % textcommand=, numbercommand={\inframed[corner=round, framecolor=dYellow, loffset=1ex, roffset=1ex, height=1.3em, background=color,backgroundcolor=dGreen]}, prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter, way=bychapter, % counter=Exam, % number=yes, before={\blank[big]}, after={\blank}] \starttext \startExamA The baseline of the framed "Example" is lower than the following sentences. It seems to be top-aligned not center-aligned. In the wiki, the command "\tex{\inframed}" is center-aligned. I don't know why my output is different from it and how to fix it. \stopExamA \startExamA The baseline of the framed "Example" is lower than the following sentences. It seems to be top-aligned not center-aligned. In the wiki, the command "\tex{\inframed}" is center-aligned. I don't know why my output is different from it and how to fix it. \stopExamA \stoptext

speaker notes in context presentations
by Gour 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Hello! I'm about to start working on series of slide-show presentations for educational/teaching purposes... While I was investigating the possibility of using (Pandoc) Markdowm to author prsentation, I noticed that e.g. reveal.js (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js) has capability to create 'speaker notes': "reveal.js comes with a speaker notes plugin which can be used to present per-slide notes in a separate browser window. The notes window also gives you a preview of the next upcoming slide so it may be helpful even if you haven't written any notes. Press the 's' key on your keyboard to open the notes window. A speaker timer starts as soon as the speaker view is opened. You can reset it to 00:00:00 at any time by simply clicking/tapping on it." However, just a thought that I would have to deal with downloading npm stuff, running local server etc. instead of just having single PDF file is not attractive to me at all. However, I know that one can do it with LaTeX Beamer class - see e.g. https://gist.github.com/andrejbauer/ac361549ac2186be0cdb and there are even applications to help with that like pdfpc: https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc and wonder what would be the best way to do it in ConTeXt and/or whether someone has some experience with ConTeXt-generated PDFs and e.g. pdfpc? Sincerely, Gour -- One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men, and he is in the transcendental position, although engaged in all sorts of activities.
