keeping headings with following texts
by Pablo Rodríguez 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Dear list, writing an article on ConTeXt, I have found what I think is a surprising feature (at least, a surprising default): headings don’t always keep with next paragraph, so they can end up in being widowed (heading + page break + first paragraph on next page). Sorry, but I’m afraid that I don’t understand this default. I have never seen a printed book that displays this behavior (unless the heading was alone on its page). Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m more than happy with ConTeXt. But would anyone be so kind to explain the reason of the described default? (I’m trying to understand, so I can explain to others.) I have found on the list (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/023357.html) the way to avoid this: \setuphead[section][before={\page[bigpreference]}] How can I know which is the exact default value in any given command? (I need to know the before values for headings, at least.) Is there a way to enable the “keep with next” option for all headings? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

From XeLaTeX's Unicode-math to ConTeXt's typescript
by Joas Kinouani 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Hello everyone, I search a way to translate the following XeLaTeX's declarations (based on the unicode-math package): \setmainfont{Linux Libertine G} \setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Liberation Sans} \setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase, ItalicFont=lmmono10-italic.otf, BoldFont=lmmonolt10-bold.otf, BoldItalicFont=lmmonolt10-boldoblique.otf, SmallCapsFont=lmmonocaps10-regular]{lmmono10-regular.otf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{TeX Gyre Termes Math} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathup]{linlibertine_r_g.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathbfup]{linlibertine_rz_g.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathsfup]{liberationsans-regular.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathsfit]{liberationsans-italic.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathbfsfup]{liberationsans-bold.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathbfsfit]{liberationsans-bolditalic.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathtt]{lmmono10-italic.otf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathscr]{asana-math.otf} into a ConTeXt's typescript. I succeed to set the serif, sansserif and mono fonts; but I need help for the math settings. \startenvironment liberty \starttypescript [liberty] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:LinLibertine_R_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Serif] [features=smallcaps] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:LinLibertine_RI_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:LinLibertine_RZ_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:LinLibertine_RZI_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [SerifBoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [file:LiberationSans-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Sans] [features=smallcaps] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [file:LiberationSans-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [SansItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [file:LiberationSans-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [file:LiberationSans-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [SansBoldItalic] \definetypeface [liberty] [rm] [serif] [liberty] [default] \definetypeface [liberty] [ss] [sans] [liberty] [default] [rscale=0.816] \definetypeface [liberty] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[liberty, serif, 10pt] \stopenvironment Thanks in advance.

two bugs with compressed linenotes
by Pablo Rodríguez 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Dear Hans, I have found two bugs with compressed linenotes that I reported (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/073940.html and http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/073953.html) I would like to introduce ConTeXt for critical editions to some Spanish-speaking people and I think this is a very useful feature. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Different font variants (normal <> condensed, light <> regular <> bold, etc.)
by Zenlima 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Hi, I am trying to define the different variants of the Roboto font ([1] for sans and [2][3][4][5] for serif). Now I am trying to define this for context but I have no idea how to define the condensed versions (plus how to access it later). And how do I enter and access the different weights next to regular and bold (light, thin, heavy)? And how to define the weight light as default (instead of regular)?

linenumbering in columnsets (or different solution?)
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Hi, I want a document with two columns; left column is poetry, so I want the lines to be numbered. Unfortunately, linenumbering doesn't appear to work in columns(ets), so my next attempt was to produce a third, very narrow column which displays the line numbers. However, columnsets with different columns is not implemented in mkiv, AFAICS. Examples: No line numbers: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definecolumnset [numbered] [n=2] \setupcolumnset [numbered] [distance=0.5cm,frame=on] \starttext \startcolumnset [numbered] \startlinenumbering[step=1,location=text] Poetry One Word Per Line is Poetic \stoplinenumbering \column[local] Two \column[local] \stopcolumnset \stoptext Works only in mkii: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definecolumnset [numbered] [n=2] \setupcolumnset [numbered] [distance=0.5cm,frame=on] \starttext \startcolumnset [numbered] \startlinenumbering[step=1,location=text] Poetry One Word Per Line is Poetic \stoplinenumbering \column[local] Two \column[local] \stopcolumnset \stoptext Any solution? All best Thomas

Chapter number in list colored (setuplist)
by Zenlima 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, I want to color the chapter number in the table of content. The attribute "numbercolor" does not exist in setuplist. So I tried to color the chapter number via "numberstlye" ("numbercommand" is also not working): ---8<---------------------------- \define[1]\listChapterColor{\color[bordeaux]{X #1}} \setuplist[chapter][color=black,numberstyle=\listChapterColor] ----8<------------------------------ The X appears in the new color (bordeaux), but the chapter number is still uncolored - same color like rest of that line (black). What am I doing wrong here? H.

[util-jsn] incorrect handling of escapes
by Philipp Gesang 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, the JSON parser handles backslash escapes improperly. Example: local data = [[ { "escapes" : "(\")(\\)(\b)(\f)(\n)(\r)(\t)", "invalid" : "\'\v" } ]] local stuff = utilities.json.tolua (data) inspect(stuff) Currently it chokes on double quotes and treats the other escapes like Lua. Fix suggestion attached. Best regards, Philipp

First and last section of current chapter
by Marco Patzer 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, how to display the first and last section name at the beginning of each chapter? I'm a little clueless which mechanism to use. A local table of contents displays all sections. Marks maybe? Although I have no idea how to achieve that with marks. Sure, I could manually reference the sections and use \about, but this is error prone especially for the last section/chapter. Example: \starttext First chapter: %% Foo Last chapter: %% Bar \startchapter [title=Foo] First section: %% Alpha Last section: %% Gamma \section{Alpha} \input knuth \page \section{Beta} \input knuth \page \section{Gamma} \input knuth \page \stopchapter \startchapter [title=Bar] First section: %% Monday Last section: %% Wednesday \section{Monday} \input knuth \page \section{Tuesday} \input knuth \page \section{Wednesday} \input knuth \page \stopchapter \stoptext Marco

Wrong markings
by Marco Patzer 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, in the following example the markings are wrong. \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[section][both]}] [{\getmarking[section][first]\space\emdash\space \getmarking[section][last]}] \starttext \def\aa#1{\section{#1}\input knuth} \processcommacommand [A, B, C, D, E] \aa \stoptext I expect the markings on the left and right to be the same and show A–C on the first page and D–E on the second one. Looks like a bug to me. current version: 2013.06.10 22:51 Marco
