Strange behavior concerning pdf-output of externalfigures
by Rudolf Bahr 16 May '19

16 May '19

Dear list, I'm getting unexplainable artefacts in the pdf-output. My MWE is: ------------------ \starttext \externalfigure [input.png] [width=100mm] \stoptext ------------------ I append the output "MWE.pdf" and the input-figure "input.png" for comparison. I'm experiencing the artefacts with some figures which are all several years old. Until now it never happened in conTeXt programs. Because I installed a new OS (LinuxMint) on my workstation at the same time I tried 3 pdfviewers (okular, evince, xpdf) all with the same result. I'm using LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.00.0, ConTeXt ver: 2019.04.13 17:25 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.4.15 Please, do you have any idea what could be the reason? Best wishes, Rudolf

Ok. Have tried it. It seems to work on line 2. Where can I find documentation about these ctx files? Denis Maier <maier.de(a)gmail.com> schrieb am Do., 16.

I am guessing the parameter for square brackets: btx:apa:delim:brackets? btx:apa:brackets?

Styles

1. If I need square brackets in apa instead of parentheses, is there an easy switch? 2. There was a suggestion to write one's own style. But where can one look in the standalone ConTeXt distribution for the aps or apa style file to modify it? At least, what is the file extension?

XML roundtripping
by Denis Maier 16 May '19

16 May '19

Hi everyone I am setting up a workflow for a journal where we will be using JATS XML as an input format. PDFs should be typeset via ConTeXt. Is roundtripping possible with ConTeXt? I will perhaps need to write page numbers back to a XML file (either to the input file or to a new file.). Best, Denis

Bug or not?
by Hans van der Meer 16 May '19

16 May '19

There is an interaction in the placement of float captions when their width is set and background coloring switched. Minimal example included here, the jpeg is arbitrary of course. Output shown. Setting the width of the caption effectively shifts the caption to the left. See the change between the last two floats where [background=] changes the game. I wonder, is this intended behaviour? Or should one expect something different? \starttext Testing figure captions with \tex{setupframed[background=]}\blank \setupframed[background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] \placefigure[][]{\tex{setupframed[background=color]}}{\externalfigure[test.jpg]} Add \tex{setupcaption[align=middle,width=\makeupwidth]} as setting here:\par \setupcaption[align=middle,width=\makeupwidth] \setupframed[background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] \placefigure[][]{\type{\setupcaption[align=middle,width=\makeupwidth]}}{\externalfigure[test.jpg]} \setupframed[background=,backgroundcolor=yellow] \placefigure[][]{\tex{setupframed[background=]}}{\externalfigure[test.jpg]} \stoptext dr.

issues with rotated paper size
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 May '19

15 May '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A4, landscape][A4, 90] %~ \setupinteractionscreen[option=max] \showframe \starttext \showlayout \stoptext For some reason, the page is displaced from the paper bottom. And if fullscreen is set, the real paper size is a square. I think this may be a bug. Could anyone explain me what I’m doing wrong or confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

filling page to bottom
by Hans van der Meer 15 May '19

15 May '19

I find that the current (default) settings tend to break pages early, leaving a fairly large amount of whitespace at the bottom of the pages. Obviously in order to avoid breaking paragraphs or to avoid small parts of a paragraph at the top of the page. What parameters do I have to tweak to fill the pages more completely? Because I planned already to examine all pages individually for their appearance, inserting breaks by hand is not the problem here. dr. Hans van der Meer
