Spacing between text and footnote line
by Huseyin Özoguz 24 Mar '19

24 Mar '19

Hello, how an I change the distance between the text and the line of the footnotes? See this min-example: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext First sentence.\footnote{Test.} \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stoptext That produces two lines distance between the footnote-line and the last line of the text on the first page. How can I reduce or increment it? Thank you! Huseyin -- Huseyin Özoguz E-Mail: h.oezoguz(a)mmnetz.de

Question to floating figure and grid
by Tomas Hala 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hi all, the following code worked in TL2017 but in TL2018 the unwanted vertical space appears before the 2nd knuth.tex. I do not know how to supress it. I also do not know how to deal with the distance between the text and the figure, I guessed that is controled by leftmargindistance but it makes nothing. What am I doing wrong? Best wishes, Tomáš %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \def\myfig#1#2#3#4{ \startplacefigure[location={right,none}] \setupfloat[roffset=0cc] % leftmargindistance=2cm \startfloatcombination[1*1] \setupfloatcaption[align=middle] \placefigure[][#1]{#2}{\externalfigure[#3][#4]} \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure} \input knuth \myfig{fig1}{This is FIG1}{any.jpg}{scale=250} \input knuth \input knuth \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

broken links in PDF included via \copypages (PoC fix attached)
by Tomas Janousek 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hello, I happen to need to include a PDF which uses unusual link annotations. Instead of something like: << /A << /D (aff1a) /S /GoTo >> /Border [ 0 0 0 ] /C [ 1 0 0 ] /F 4 /H /I /Rect [ 104.214 577.913 110.231 586.941 ] /Subtype /Link /Type /Annot >> there's << /Border [ 0 0 0 ] /C [ 1 0 0 ] /Dest (aff0001) /H /I /Rect [ 109.005 570.781 115.335 584.308 ] /Subtype /Link /Type /Annot >> The error I'm getting is: backend > link > missing link annotation This appears to be okay according to PDF reference [PDFref, pages 492 and 501], and it's also supported in poppler [poppler-link]. But it's not supported in lpdf-epd.lua. [PDFref]: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/pdf_reference_arc… [popplet-link]: https://github.com/danigm/poppler/blob/0011805e22193b690b99a53dcb9986ce04eb… I applied this workaround and it fixed the issue for me: --- /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-epa.lua 2018-03-20 23:10:59.000000000 +0100 +++ lpdf-epa-fixed.lua 2019-03-22 15:11:49.078873530 +0100 @@ -230,6 +230,12 @@ local w = xscale * (a_urx - a_llx) local h = yscale * (a_ury - a_lly) if subtype == "Link" then + if not annotation.A and annotation.Dest then + annotation.A = {} + annotation.A.S = "GoTo" + annotation.A.D = annotation.Dest + end + local a = annotation.A if not a then report_link("missing link annotation") Please consider applying a similar fix to the ConTeXt source code. Thanks! I'm not sure I can attach the actual PDF as it's a recent Elsevier pub, but I managed to manually craft one from the ConTeXt hello world using qpdf --stream-data=uncompress --object-streams=disable and vim, and I'm attaching that. The equation references work in PDF readers but stop working after passing through \copypages[Hello-world-weird.pdf][][interaction=yes]. -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a. Pivník, a.k.a.

I started getting a bug, updated today and am still getting it. I hope someone can at least make a note of it, if not provide a suggestion/solution. MWE included. The bug is the 'incollection' and 'inbook' entries in the bibliography have 1. have page numbers in parentheses for apa and chicago 2. have no book title. It worked just a week ago.

Searching unwanted paragraph breaks
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Hello ConTeXist. I apologize in advance for a generic question without a minimum example. I use a large library of linked macros when I typeset documents. In some cases, unwanted paragraph breaks are inserted during typing. Is there a way to remove this ie something like \removeunwantedparbreak (alternative of \removeunwantedspaces) or some kind of tracing that would help me to find where the error is? I don't have much experience with tracing and I can't find anything on the wiki. I've been looking for her for a few hours without success. It is even possible that a paragraph break inserts some regular ConTeXt macro. Can anyone give me a strategy? Thanks very much. Jaroslav Hajtmar

Bibliography: I think module [aps] is rendering incorrectly the electronic category and others too
by Tomas Badan 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

Looking at context documentations and source code, it says that for electronic category we have: * Required fields: title * Optional fields: address, author, howpublished, month, note, organization, url, year, doi So, when I run this simple code: \startbuffer[example] @ELECTRONIC {example, title = "One title", url = "http://www.example.org", } \stopbuffer \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \definebtxdataset[basic] \usebtxdataset[basic][example.buffer] \definebtxrendering [basic] [aps] [dataset=basic] \setupbtx[dataset=basic] \nocite[example] \starttext \placelistofpublications[basic] \stoptext I've got an output that is similar with: [1] , One title, http://www.example.org (unpublished) which seems incorrect to me (author should not be rendered, and I was expecting year not to be accounted for too). Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance Tomás PS. Original question was posted here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/480416/bibliography-what-is-the-cor…

context --autopdf
by Henning Hraban Ramm 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Ahoi, usually I call context with "&& open myfile.pdf" on OSX, but only today I discovered the --autopdf option. Unfortunately it tries to call sumatra with wine, which doesn’t make a lot of sense for me (it’s very slow, and while I have wine installed, not sumatra). The options seem to be "auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra". --autopdf=auto calls "open" (i.e. open with the default application, which is Acrobat). Same as my usual solution, which is nice enough. --autopdf=default calls "pdfopen" which is installed with the other TeX binaries (didn’t know that either), but that tries to call acrobat via X11, which doesn’t make sense. Where is this configurable, and can I add other options like Preview.app? Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
