xtable in itemize
by Florian Rudt 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Dear list, I don’t find how to align xtables in lists. My mwe: \starttext \startitemize \item \input knuth \blank \startxtable[option=stretch] \startxrow \startxcell text \stopxcell \startxcell more text \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \item \input knuth \stopitemize \stoptext The table has the correct width, but isn’t indented. Thanks in advance Florian

Problem installing a new font
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hello, probably one of the basic questions and skills in ConTeXt, but the first case for me: how to install a (downloaded third-party) font into ConTeXt: I downloaded font source files from https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/aurical/ and I unpacked the .zip content, so I have now (see FileList.txt for full info): ---- d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\FileList.txt d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\map d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\tfm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1 d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm ... d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1\public\aurical\LukasSvatbaSlant.pfb ---- Trying to install the font the easiest way, I also copied files into my ConTeXt dir, so I have also (see FileList2.txt): ---- d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.afm ... d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.pfb ... ---- I tried to follow instructions in 'mfonts.pdf' mentioned at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts, but early I failed with (unknown) "texfont" command cited here frequently.

\framed regression
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Nov '18

11 Nov '18

Ahoi, there were a few strange changes in ConTeXt rendering since about since mid-August, probably all related to box handling. I recognized \framed inserts some additional space when I re-typeset some sheets of labels that suddenly didn’t fit the labels any more. Today my editor in chief asked me where the pagination of our magazine went to – I guess its footer box became too small, couldn’t investigate yet. He didn’t see that the type on the back is askew, probably also from the additional space around a \framed Such sudden changes are really frustrating and might cost me a lot of money (the magazine is already printed and distributed). I’ll try to come up with a MWE. Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

checking text boundaries
by Andrea Valle 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Dear all, I’m typesetting a book, and I have many figures on white background. I’m scaling figures using something like this \placefigure[][volumina]{G. Ligeti, {\em Volumina}.}{ \externalfigure[img/chap02/11][width=\textwidth]} is there a way to plot text boundaries so to check by eye if they’re contained inside it?

German introduction to context
by Axel Kielhorn 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hello, I’m looking for an introduction in german. What I need is: - Structure chapter/section … - Emphasis bold/italic - lists itemize - floats - TABLE - index - references - math (with units) - chemistry (only basic stuff) Several years ago I started to prepare a talk for a DANTE meeting, trying to show how to generate epub from context. Since I got a new job in early 2015 I didn’t have time to finish the talk or go to the meeting. I’ll use the enclosed text as a starting point, unless someone already has a usable manual. Note: Dominik Wagenführ was an editor of the now defunct „Freies Magazin“ and he supplied a LaTeX document of examples that needed to be converted into ePub. Thus the enclosed document is mainly concerned about epub. Greetings Axel PS: Comments are welcome.

chapter number
by Andrea Valle 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Dear all, I have a simple issue I can’t solve. I have chapters in a book, and I have placed a foreword before. I’d like not to have the number in the foreword, and to start the numbering with the first chapter. I followed this https://www.contextgarden.net/Titles#Unnumbered_titles_in_table_of_contents <https://www.contextgarden.net/Titles#Unnumbered_titles_in_table_of_contents> and I have been able to remove numbering from the first chapter, also from TOC. Fine. I am not able to reset chapter numbering, my first chapter starts still with 2. How can this be done? I'm using for first chapter \startchapter [title=Overview of Notation Semiotics] [] Thanks Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - StudiUm Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.fonurgia.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanderaalle/sets/ --> http://vimeo.com/vanderaalle --> http://andreavalle.bandcamp.com --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- "This is a very complicated case, Maude.

Re: [NTG-context] Font Awesome (again)
by Wolfgang Schuster 05 Nov '18

Hi Mari, you have to update your installation because fontawesome 5 uses a new machanism to load the symbols from the font files. The first version of the mechanism from August did only work when you enabled the symbol set for the whole document and extended support was added in September.
