A thinner hrule for headers
by Thomas Kreuzer 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello everyone, I'd like to know if it is possible to get a thinner hrule in headers (mkiv). Right now I am using \setupheader[after=\hrule] replacing hrule with thinrule or hairline results in space below the header text and the line, and the line actually spans two lines. How can I control the thickness of the line, I remember having read something about using frames, but I can't find the post anymore. Thanks in advance, and regards, Thomas

new beta
by Hans Hagen 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi, The uploaded beta has marco's ugs fixed (minus one) plus some (less important) pending issues in test files. The main change is that the root setup commands of enumerations, notes, formulas, floats, etc can now be used to set up the counters (was only possible by explicit setups e.g. per float).

\startpagefigure[]\stoppagefigure enlarges page by 1 mm
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hello, \startpagefigure[...] ... \stoppagefigure enlarges page by 1 mm in both directions. This is an undesired effect as when the printer has auto-select-page mode on (which is useful when printing a document with mixed A4 and A3 pages) and an A4 page (210 x 297 mm) is enlarged to 211 x 298, the printer doesn't (auto)choose A4 but a nearest BIGGER page (8.5 x 13 in page in my case). Try the code: ---- t.mkiv \starttext \startpagefigure[A4.pdf]\stoppagefigure \stoptext ---- Is that a wanted behavior? How to avoid enlarging the inserted page? TIA.

List of bugs and quirks
by Marco Patzer 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hi Hans, > maybe after the current is made (which happens sometime within the > next two weeks) > > best make sure that we have no serious bugs (experimental features apart) I think it's better to start a new thread for this issue. I maintain a small list of bugs and quirks which I would like to share. I don't know if the issues are considered bugs or not. I posted most of them to the mailing list at some point, but AFAIK they have not been fixed for whatever reason. Usually there are simple workarounds or I have some code which fixes the issue. Others are still unresolved.

userpagenumber

27 Mar '13

Hi, shouldn't this work? \setupuserpagenumber[number=34] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\userpagenumber \page} \stoptext I must admit that I'm pretty confused about pagenumbering; there are too many options of \setup...pagenumber and \setup...pagenumbering for my simple brain now, and I often don't know which is supposed to do what. All best Thomas

\setuphead [bodypartlabel=]
by Alan BRASLAU 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

\setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter ] enables a label in chapter headings. Sometimes, one wants to have an unnumbered chapter-level structure that otherwise appears in the table of contents, bookmarks, marking, etc. without having to make many special definitions. One suggests: \definehead [NOchapter] [chapter] \setuphead [NOchapter] [incrementnumber=no,number=no,bodypartlabel=] \starttext \startNOchapter [title=Introduction] \stopNOchapter \startchapter [title=First chapter] \stopchapter \stoptext And then adding NOchapter to the contents combined list, to the bookmarks, and so on, not to speak about marking. Ugh! Much easier would be the occasional use of \startchapter [title=Introduction,incrementnumber=no,number=no,bodypartlabel=] \stopchapter but this does not work! One gets: "Chapter Introduction". That this does not work I suppose might be somewhat of a bug... Even better, more coherent, more logical, would be \startchapter [title=Introduction,incrementnumber=no,number=no,label=no] \stopchapter (Note that "label=no" is used for lists). This would also have the advantage of allowing the chapter labeltext to be defined for each language, rather than be empty, so that it could then be simply turned on or off. In fact, label=no would be the default setup. Alan
