option for printing range
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hans, would it be possible to add an key to \setupinteractionscreen that implements the /PrintPageRange key in the /ViewerPreferences dictionary (https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008… For example, "\setupinteractionscreen[range={2, 4-7, 10}]" should add the "/PrintPageRange [1 1 3 6 9 9]" in /ViewerPreferences. (BTW, the key name is the first one that came to my mind.) This is extremely useful to help the user to print only the required pages and not the whole document (which may be required only for viewing purposes). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

natural tables to extreme tables
by Thomas A. Schmitz 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi, for my experimenting with tables: is there a way to set up individual columns in xtables? Maybe I'm thick tonight, but I couldn't find anything in the manual or the source. If I have this setup \setupTABLE [frame=on,split=repeat] \setupTABLE [column] [1] [width=0.7cm,align=left] \setupTABLE [column] [2] [width=0.5cm,align=left] \setupTABLE [column] [3] [width=6cm,align={normal,verytolerant,stretch}] \setupTABLE [column] [4] [width=8cm,align={normal,verytolerant,stretch}] \setupTABLE [column] [5] [width=1cm,align={normal,verytolerant,stretch}] how would this translate into \setupxtable?

synctex file is not compressed
by Ulrike Fischer 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

I seem to be not able to get a synctex.gz instead of a synctex file. I tried context --synctex=1 file and context --synctex=-1 file but in both cases a simple synctex-file is created. Is this normal? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Question about text offset
by Henri Menke 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Dear list, I was wondering, why is the text in the main text block offset by .25\exheight from above (and below)? Also, can you point me to the source line where this offset is added in shipout because it is not there in \setuplayout. If you don't know what I mean, see MWE below. Cheers, Henri --- \definelayer [pagebg] [width=\textwidth, height=\textheight] \setupbackgrounds [text][background=pagebg] \showframe \starttext \setlayer [pagebg] [voffset=.25\exheight] % why? {\vbox{\strut\input lorem\par}} \input lorem\par \stoptext

A small detail: The ISO specification for PDF 2.0 also defines the first page in /PrintPageRange to be page number 1 (not 0). :( Cheers, Christoph

How to use fonts.handlers.otf.enhancers.patches?
by Henri Menke 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Dear list, The EB Garamond font is lacking the ϵ glyph but it contains ε. So naturally you want to remap ϵ to ε. It cannot be done using font features because the the slot 0x03B5 (ϵ) is just missing, so substitution will not kick in. I tried adapting the mechanism to add uppercase greek to Latin Modern Math from lm- math.lfg. Unfortunately, my code is not working. What am I doing wrong? Cheers, Henri --- \startluacode local patches = fonts.handlers.otf.enhancers.patches local function patch(data,filename) local uni_to_ind = data.map.map if not uni_to_ind[0x3F5] then patches.report("add ε for ϵ") uni_to_ind[0x3F5] = uni_to_ind[0x3B5] end end patches.register("after","missing glyphs","^ebgaramond*", patch) \stopluacode \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond] \starttext ε % = 03B5 ϵ % = 03F5 \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with a macro
by Jeong Dal 25 Feb '18

Dear Otared, All of your examples yield the same output in which the numbers locate at the top and at the bottom of the integral sign. Is it what you expected? I am looking for a way to place numbers at the right of the integral sign under the \startformula … \stopformula environment as the output of $\displaystyle\int_1^4 …$. I am using the latest beta. mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="test" --lua="/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test.tex" --c:input="./test.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:purgeall "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version 1.05.0 (TeX Live 2017) system commands enabled. open source > level 1, order 1, name '/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2018.02.09 00:04 MKIV beta fmt: 2018.2.11 int: english/english system > Thank you.

An easy way to use the \autointegral command in a more natural way is to define one’s own macro, as in the following: > > \setupmathdelimiter[integral][rightoffset=-3mu,exact=yes,factor=2] > > \unexpanded\def\myint#1#2#3#4{\autointegral{#2}{#1}{#3(#4)}\,\diff #4} > > \starttext > $\myint{1}{4}{f}{x}$ > > \startformula > \myint{0}{2\pi}{\cos(t)^2\sin}{t} = 0 > \stopformula > And here is the classical \type{\int} command: > \startformula > \int_{0}^{1} g(x)\,\diff x = 1. > \stopformula > \stoptext > > Best regards: OK
