column-spanning floats
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi all, It used to be that in an example like the one attached where you were using \startcolumns and used an \externalfigure that was wider than the column width, the figure would automatically be moved to the top of _both_ columns on the next page. That was a bit tricky sometimes, but worked fine. However, when I run with the current mkiv beta, the figure is simply overlapping the next column, and it does not auto-migrate. Also \startpostponing does not work here because it will indeed move to the next page, but still only occupies the left column, thus overlapping any text in the second column. Is that functionality gone, or do I need to do something special? Best wishes, Taco PS On top of that, the column balancing creates bad inter-paragraph spacing in the left column. No idea where that comes from! :(

Re: [NTG-context] Problem of compiling a file with Emacs
by Lizardo M. Reyna Bowen 31 Jul '18

I tested the file and conTeXt works well from emacs. The problem seems to be related with your conTeXt standalone installation. when the file is compiled, emacs create a log buffer *... output*. You could post that information to look the possible error. Have you tried reinstalling conTeXt? attached test.pdf On 07/31/2018 04:43 AM, Fabrice Couvreur wrote: > With (setenv "PATH" > "/home/aragorn/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux/context:$PATH" t) It > works properly with C-c C-c > > > With (setenv "PATH" > "/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH" t) It does not > work with C-c C-c > > The compilation is however correct by using a terminal without Emacs > from the standalone version > Fabrice > > 2018-07-31 10:18 GMT+02:00 Fabrice Couvreur > <fabrice1.couvreur(a)gmail.com <mailto:fabrice1.couvreur@gmail.com>>: > > Hello, > I did the same thing as you, but nothing changes.

TABLE setups
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Ahoi, I need a few different table styles and don’t think it makes sense to setup them every single time. Is there a \defineTABLE[mystyle], and then \setupTABLE[mystyle][...] ? Or can I go via setups like \bTABLE[setups=mystyle] ? Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Problem of compiling a file with Emacs
by Fabrice Couvreur 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hello, I'm starting a new discussion about compiling a file with Emacs. I will try to be clear: 1. Compilation without Emacs in a terminal (Xterm): /home / aragorn / texlive / 2018 / bin / x86_64-linux / context Test.tex Ok! / home / aragorn / context / tex / linux-64 / bin / context Test.tex Ok! 2. Compiling with a Emacs terminal shell command by having this in my ~ / .emacs file (setenv "PATH" "/ home / aragorn / context / tex / texmf-linux-64 / bin: $ PATH" t) / home / aragorn / texlive / 2018 / bin / x86_64-linux / context Test.tex No Ok! / home / aragorn / context / tex / tex-linux-64 / bin / context Test.tex No Ok! 3. Compiling with an Emacs terminal shell command by commenting this in my ~ / .emacs file ;; (setenv "PATH" "/ home / aragorn / context / tex / texmf-linux-64 / bin: $ PATH" t) / home / aragorn / texlive / 2018 / bin / x86_64-linux / context Test.tex Ok! / home / aragorn / context / tex / linux-64 / bin / context Test.tex Ok! 4. Compiling with the C-C C-C command by commenting this in my ~ / .emacs file ;; (setenv "PATH" "/ home / aragorn / context / tex / texmf-linux-64 / bin: $ PATH" t) OK ! 5. Coming with the C-c C-c command by having this in my ~ / .emacs file (setenv "PATH" "/ home / aragorn / context / tex / texmf-linux-64 / bin: $ PATH" t) (that's what I do with all other files) No OK !

xtables setup

Hello again, I’m trying xtables for the first time. Is it possible to setup defined rows/columns like with natural tables, e.g. for a header, like in my example? The commented lines below are wrong.

Of course calculations are easier in Lua, but in my image placement macros I struggled a lot with numbers vs. measures/dimensions, regardless if in Lua or on the TeX level.

Issue with page break at \blank samepage
by Joseph Canedo 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Dear list, Somehow the Following MWE processed with recent betas : %%%% \setuplayout[grid=both] % commenting does not change the result \starttext \dorecurse{31}{ A. } \input knuth \blank[line, samepage]Second. \stoptext %%%% Outputs a pdf with 2 pages and « Second » is left alone in 2nd page. This is different from online context with prints last line of knuth par in 2nd page too. I thought that « samepage » specifier in \blank prevented page break at that point ? Is there another option for this now ? Thanks Best regards Joseph

URLs break bib export
by Rik Kabel 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

The new tagged biblography export is very nice, but there is a routine (marked UGLY in the source) that causes processing to fail with otherwise-valid input. The failure message is ...eXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/back-exp.lua:3889: invalid capture index stack traceback: [C]: in function 'gsub' ...eXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/back-exp.lua:3889: in function <...eXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/back-exp.lua:3747> (...tail calls...) and two URLs which cause this problem are: url = {http://www.jerwood-no.org.uk/pdf/Dunning%20Kruger.pdf}, url = {http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php\%3Fcollection=46&Itemid=27}, These URLs caused no problem with PDF output or in the previous exports, although they were not printed and exist only in the bibliography. Do I need to protect the special characters in the bib file, or is this a problem with the UGLY code? -- Rik
