ContML module?
by Sander Maijers 15 Jun '13

15 Jun '13

I use a very recent version of ConTeXt MKIV, and I was following the instructions on this Wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mixing_XML_and_ConTeXt . However the "contml" module cannot be found and the hyperlink to it on the Wiki page is invalid.

The inkscape command works okay from the command line. Should I upload the SVG and manual PDF output somewhere?

Float placement (again)

I sent a question to the list about float placement, but it was marked as spam (at a guess due to the ASCII art). For those that didn't see it because of that, it's in the archives: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/82995 Tet

MOving from MkII to MkIV / EPUB
by Gerben Wierda 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Hello folks, I have a ConTeXt Project for a small and simple book, that has the 'basic example' project structure with .../images, .../chapters, .../products etc. I use a Makefile to comppile the book when in the .../chapters directory, as attached below. I use "texexec --pdf" and probably ConTeXt MkII from the MacTeX 2012 distribution. I'd like to make an EPUB from this book as well. I suspect that means going over to LuaTeX/MkIV and doing extra stuff. I got lost in the ConTeXt documentation (for as much as there is, old and new) and would appreciate an instruction on how to do this that does not suppose I am a ConTeXt wizard who is doing stuff like this daily. Is there such a thing?

TEXpage and footnotes
by Pablo Rodríguez 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Dear list, is there any way to get notes (footnotes and linenotes) within a TEXpage? I thought I'd seen a sample PDF sent to this list, but I can't recall the date or who was the sender. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Typefaces ... how does this work?
by Sander Maijers 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

I want to adjust my document to have Lucida as main typeface, but with brief passages (a few words at most) in a typeface that has the IPA glyphs like Gentium. I've skimmed the manual and the ConTeXt garden Wiki but I do not yet understand which commands I should use where and with which options to achieve this -- preferably in a concise way. Could someone please explain and point out what most current documentation I should read and in which order to fully understand how to work with typography in ConTexT? (Obviously I am not a typographer or typesetter, I just write documents.) I am in a hurry now to complete my document so I would appreciate concrete hints to help with my current need. Still, I am interested to learn a lot about this functionality in the long term.

Test example for problem

The context docment below shows two anomalies. One is the occurrane of the "unknown font latinmodernmath-regular, loading aborted" and two is that the compilation process halts on the first 'D' in the word Dutch, and no item bullet is typeset. The line "\setmainfont[ipaexm]" seems to cause this irregular result. -- Example document -- \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[ipaexm] \definesymbol[5][$\diamond$] \starttext 世界、今日は! \startitemize[5] \item Dutch in English \stopitemize \stoptext -- end example -- -- START REPORT -- mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/210a96fef5fbab446fd11afa77acb026/formats/cont-en" --lua="/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/210a96fef5fbab446fd11afa77acb026/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "./test.tex" \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012062812 (TeX Live 2012) \write18 enabled.

how to print a simple booklet
by Jan Pohanka 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi, this is probably a question with very simple solution, but I cannot figure it out or find a solution in wiki or manual. I just want to print simple booklet and after and after picking papers from printer do a single fold. With the following code the TITLE PAGE is correctly placed to the right of first sheet but all pages have backspace and page number on the right edge. Is that correct behaviour or I'm missing some basic fact? \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setuplayout[ width=8cm,height=middle, backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm, footer=8mm,header=0mm, alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,left},alternative=doublesided] \showframe \starttext TITLE PAGE \page[yes] \dorecurse{15}{\input knuth} \stoptext Thanks Jan

bug in compressed linenotes (and two ideas about them)
by Pablo Rodríguez 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hi Hans, I'm afraid I found another bug in linenotes (http://www.ousia.tk/compressed-linenotes.pdf and http://www.ousia.tk/compressed-linenotes.tex) When a compressed linenote is located at the beginning of the line, the inbetween distance from \setupnote is suppressed, but the distance from \setupnotation isn't. This happens either linenotes are in paragraph form or not. I have also three suggestions on the linenote spacing. I'd be highly pleased that Thomas and Idris could comment on them, since they are the experts on the topic. The first one is more a question, because I'm not sure whether this is already possible. Could I set a variable length in inbetween from \setupnote and distance from \setupnotation? This would help better spacing in linenotes. Sorry for asking, but I tried in the past and I wasn't able to do it. The other two suggestions are about enabling different spacing options for compressed linenotes than the standard spacing for linenotes. The sample shows that without separator, compressed linenotes have more blank space than standard linenotes, since compressed linenotes without separator have two added spaces without interruption. How about a compresseddistance option that assumes there is no separator and sets a single space? In the sample, compressed linenotes are preceeded by a 2em space, where standard linenotes are preceeded by a 1.5em space. Having more space for compressed linenotes than for standard ones may be misleading in some cases. And even using a separator, being able to specify different distances would be also extremely helpful, because it is not always the case where separators need more space before than after (as line reference numbers need). How about implementing two options such as compressedbefore and compressedafter that would achieve this? BTW, I tried to enclose the sample within a TEXpage, but it didn't contain the linenotes. Is this intended or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
