Visualcounter: style parameter not working as expected
by Romain Diss 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hi all, I'm actually using the visualcounter module for a presentation and I can't modify the style of the page number inside the countdown counter. The documentation let me think the 'style' parameter should do the job but it doesn't seem to work. Do I miss something or is this a bug? %% Minimal working exemple %%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[visualcounter] \definevisualcounter [test] [countdown] [counter=userpage] \setupvisualcounter [test] [style=\tfd] % This is not taken into account \setupfootertexts[][\usevisualcounter{test}] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par \input knuth \page} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Unusual error in Math mode
by Devendra Ghate 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hello Everyone, \starttext $ E [ w ] = 1 $ \stoptext produces Eaw]=1 using my context (current version: 2013.03.29 01:03). Needless to say that the MWE works as expected on the Context live @ contextgarden. I have no clue as to how to go about debugging the problem. So did a fresh install in a different directory but still get exactly the same result. I will be grateful for any suggestions on how to identify the problem in my context installation. -- Cheers, Devendra

start page numbering in MKIV
by john Culleton 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

The command \setuppagenumber[number=3,state=start] seems not to work under MKIV. Here is the sequence: \setuppagenumber[number=3,state=start] \completecontent \chapter[Introduction} but Chapter 1 Introduction is shown in the TOC with page 3. It should be page 5 since the TOC starts on physical page 3 and there is one blank page in between. -- John Culleton Wexford Press -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Representing TeX on the web [Off-topic]
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 01 Apr '13

Dear gang, My apologies if the answers to the following are already well-known and if I'm being completely clueless: What is the standard way of representing the symbol '\TeX' in html and the like? Related: Is there any movement to have '\TeX' registered as a Unicode symbol? Thanks in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

setuphead and Table of Content
by Malte Stien 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Hello everyone, I have defined my own set of heads with \setuphead like so, such that I can supply my own numbers: \definehead[foosection][section] \setuphead[foosection][number=yes, ownnumber=yes, sectionsegments=section] However, I need them to show up in the table of content. What's the trick? Regards, Malte.

eliminate blank page.
by john Culleton 30 Mar '13

30 Mar '13

OK I am trying to be a good boy and use \component instead of \input in MKIV but my problem persists. I have a file called title.tex which should be followed on the next page (title verso) by the file copy.tex. but a blank page occurs between the two. Here is title.tex: ------------------------------------------- \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] \vskip .75in \midaligned{\tfd\ss\bf Inkscape} \vskip .30in \midaligned{\tfc\ss\bf for} \vskip .30in \midaligned{\tfd\ss\bf Book Cover Design} \vfil \midaligned{\tfb\ss\bf Open Source Solutions} \vskip .40in \midaligned{\tfb\ss\bf \authorname} \vskip .30in \midaligned{\bf \publisher} \stopstandardmakeup -------------------------------- And here is copy.tex: ---------------------------- \startstandardmakeup[page=no] {\bf \booktitle} {\obeylines Copyright \copyright\ 2013 \authorname All rights reserved. \ISBN \vfil \publisher \street \citystatezip } \stopstandardmakeup ------------------------------- I have tried \inputting the files and calling the files with \component. Can't get the blank page in between to disappear. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

error calling font.getfont() on certain fonts
by Philipp Gesang 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi all, I get an error when I run this code: \ctxlua{font.getfont( font.current() )} (Complete example below.) Oddly, whether or not this fails depends on the font. The issue does occur with both today’s beta and Tex Live. The error message is error: .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/node-inj.lua:97: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'factor' (a nil value) At the same time, in Plain the equivalent code works fine for all fonts. Bug or feature? Best regards Philipp %% working fonts: %\setupbodyfont[iwona] %\setupbodyfont[computer-modern-unicode] %\setupbodyfont[antykwa-poltawskiego] %% ... ? %% not working: \setupbodyfont[modern] %\setupbodyfont[antykwa] %\setupbodyfont[termes] %\setupbodyfont[pagella] %\setupbodyfont[bonum] %% ... ? \starttext foo \ctxlua{font.getfont( font.current() )} bar \stoptext

[***SPAM***] Location of reference
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

I've looked through about five context documents and the wiki, but can't find any good usage documentation for the \setupnotation macro. I've found specific examples of use, but not a complete usage description such as below which explains what options are available. \setupnotation[...][...=...] I'd like read what parameters it covers.

[***SPAM***] Symbols for footnotes not working
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

>From ConTeXt's Wiki Garden the below should work, but it isn't. How can this be accomlished. I want to use just \dagger for the symbol, but any symbol would do. \definesymbol[4]{\dagger] \starttext \defineconversion[dagger][{\dagger},{\dagger}] % use a \dagger for the footnote. \setupfootnotes[conversion=set dagger,location=text] This is the dagger, \dagger{} I want to use for reference\footnote{Will the dagger appear}. A second line here for robustness.\footnote{It's a number still.} \stoptext -------------------------------- end of example Also I could find no explanations for what a set is, as in conversion=set 1 or 2 or 3 etc. What is set 1 or 2 or 3?

Different Horizontal Lines with Tabulate
by Malte Stien 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello, I have a table in which I have to group a number of rows together. Let's say I have a table with two columns, the first is an item ID and the second a multi-line description for that item. Say I have ten items in the table and I need to group Item 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 and so on. Due to the description being quite lengthy in some cases, I would like to use some sort of horizontal rule between items. It seems I have to following options: 1. Using horizontal rules of two different thicknesses (eg. thicker between groups and thinner between items within the same group) 2. Using horizontal rules of two different colour (eg. black between groups and a light grey between items within the same group) 3. Using horizontal rules of different lengths (that is, full length between groups and only in the second column between items within the same group) Are any of the above possible with tabulate? I could not find anything to achieve any of those. I am quite used to tabulate as my table framework, so I would prefer to use that. If that's not possible however, I'd be happy to use something else. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte.
