Printing catchword or kustode
by Jan Ulrich Hasecke 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Hi all, Visiting a museum in Straßburg I saw an old book from Gutenbergs times where the first word of the next page was printed below the last line of the current page. The word, sometimes only a syllable of the first word from the next page, is called catchword or Kustode. They used it to ensure that they bind the pages in the right order. I think that it can also be of help if you read a book. Is this possible with ConTeXt? I could not find the word catchword, reclamans or kustode on the wiki.

Lower limit of integrals shifted

Hi, the output of \setupmathematics[ integral=nolimits, ] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2bp] $\displaystyle\int_0^1x^2\,dx=\frac{1}{3}$ \stopTEXpage \stoptext is attached. Clearly, the lower limit in the integral is not correctly placed. With hope of a quick fix, Mikael

A PDF with the wrong sorting order doesn't help when you can't show a working minimal example to reproduce the problem. When you need more control about the sorting order of the index you should switch to MkIV which has more options. Wolfgang

metafun 2
by Hans Hagen 08 Sep '19

08 Sep '19

Hi, In the process of providing an additional (more abstract) interface to some of the old and also new MetaFun code we wonder what kind of features users would like to see. http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-1104-mkiv.pdf As a teaser I uploaded a MyWay document that shows some of what is coming. All is experimental but it shows the direction. We're talking ConTeXt LMTX here. For instance, draw lmt_outline [ content = "hello", kind = "reverse", fillcolor = "darkred", drawcolor = "darkblue", rulethickness = 1/2, ] ysized h shifted (3.75h,-1.25h) ; Wraps all the outline drawing in one macro with a set of options (there will be xml interface definitions for that). Or take: draw lmt_followtext [ content = "How well does it work {\bf 1}! ", path = (fullcircle scaled 4cm), trace = true, spread = true, ] ysized 5cm ; which is an easier interface to text along a curve. Arrows can be drawn with draw lmt_arrow [ kind = "draw", location = "middle", alternative = "curved", path = fullcircle scaled 3cm shifted (3.5cm,0cm), ] withcolor "darkblue" ; but of course the low level interface with its many variables for tweaking stays around. Other examples are shown in the mentioned document. So the question is: What do you miss in metapost support? Of course it should fit within the concept, so 'artistic freehand drawings' is not something that is likely to get interfaced. We are particularly interested in educational applications, if only because ConTeXt started out that way.

02 Sep '19

Hello all, I am trying to set the fontsize in a tikz image and that is failing. Strangely at the \node line with : ! Undefined control sequence. As the MWE stands now, it will fail. The now commented line works. main context file: /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv current version: 2019.08.24 22:42 The fontsize statement work in kTikz. What to do? Are there other ways to change font size in the Context TikZ? Thanks for any input! Martin \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \starttikzpicture \tikzstyle{label}=[minimum size=30mm,line width=2mm,draw=blue!50,align=center,font=\fontsize{60}{60}\selectfont] %\tikzstyle{label}=[minimum size=30mm,line width=2mm,draw=blue!50,align=center] \node[label] at (1,1) {88} ; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext

Hi all, I try to install ConTeXt LMTX on (32 bit) Debian stable. Downloading context-linux-32.zip, I unzip it in /data/context (following the instruction of installation.pdf).
