wiki page for \feature
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Dear gang, I made a wiki page for \feature et al: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Open_Type_Fonts_and_Featuresets_in_MkIV Towards the end we need a graphical sample of the sample file, but I do not know how to do that. See ======= Now let us review the results: [output/graphic here] ======= I have to move on to other projects so I'm leaving completion and improvement to others in the community. Here is the sample file (needs latest beta! pdf attached as well) that needs graphical output on the page: ============== \definefontfeature [schola-preset] [mode=node,script=latn,language=dflt,kern=yes,liga=yes,lnum=yes] \starttypescript [serif] [schola-preset] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:texgyreschola-regular.otf][features=schola-preset] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [schola-preset] [size] \definebodyfont [35.8pt,29.8pt,24.8pt,20.7pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt] [rm] [tf=Serif sa 1] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [schola-default] \definebodyfontenvironment [schola-default] [default] [interlinespace=2.7ex] \definetypeface [schola-default] [rm] [serif] [schola-preset] [schola-preset] % [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[schola-default] \setupbodyfont[schola-default,12pt] \definefontfeature[f:smallcaps] [smcp=yes] \definefontfeature[f:thinimacron] [ss04=yes] \definefontfeature[f:upsidedown] [dlig=yes] \definefontfeature[f:newstyle] [onum=no] \definefontfeature[f:nocaps] [smcp=no] \definefontfeature[f:wideimacron] [ss04=no] \definefontfeature[f:rightsideup] [dlig=no] \definefontfeature[f:ligatures] [liga=yes] \definefontfeature[f:noligatures] [liga=no] \definefontfeature[f:oldstyle] [onum=yes,lnum=no] \definefontfeature[f:oldstyleupsidedown] [onum=yes,dlig=yes] \definefontfeature[f:newstylerightsideup] [onum=no,dlig=no] \definefontfeature[f:oldstylewmacron] [ss04=no,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[f:newstylesmallcaps] [smcp=yes,onum=no] \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] \define\SAMPLE{123 Idrīs ?` !` VA fi} \SAMPLE\blank \feature[+][f:oldstyle] \SAMPLE \blank \feature[more][f:thinimacron] \SAMPLE \blank \addfeature[f:upsidedown] \SAMPLE \blank \feature[+][f:smallcaps] \SAMPLE \blank \addfeature[f:wideimacron] \SAMPLE \blank \feature[-][f:upsidedown] \SAMPLE \blank \feature[=][f:oldstyleupsidedown]\SAMPLE \blank \feature[!][f:smallcaps] \SAMPLE \blank \feature[<] \SAMPLE \blank \stopTEXpage ============== Thanks and best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Bug in \column
by Xan 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi, I found a possibly bug (I attached the doc). With bigskip twocolumns work but with \column it does not. That is, with the diff: 98c98 < \bigskip --- > %\bigskip 100c100 < %\column --- > \column it does not work: the last exercise is shown in the first column. Can anyone explain me what happens? Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: Please CCme.

Mixed columns
by Wolfgang Schuster 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi, after the problem with the \column command with the normal columns environment I tried if the original problem can be solved with mixed columns. While the \column command works there a unwanted space appeared at the begin of the second column. In the following example you can see space from the \blank in the first column is ignored while in the second column it appears in the output. <example> \starttext \showframe \startmixedcolumns \blank text \column \blank text \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext </example> Wolfgang

chapter titles
by H. van der Meer 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

I would like to put something directly after each chapter number, like so: Chapter 5 <add something everytime> Title of Chapter Is there an option for this? \setuphead? \setupheader? which parameter? I looked up the wiki, but it made me no wiser. Hans van der Meer

"Missing number, treated as zero" error when using \definefont with \define'd dimension
by Lars Huttar 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hello, I reported a Missing Number error back in December (thread at http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/070471.html) but got sidetracked on another issue before finding a resolution. Now I'm back to the Missing Number error, and I have a short example that reproduces it: \define\largefontsize{13pt} % Works fine: \definefont[SerifL][Arial at 13pt] % Leads to error: \definefont[SerifL][Arial at \largefontsize] % "Missing number, treated as zero" error thrown on the following line: \starttext \SerifL{Hello} \stoptext Note that the SerifL font definition works fine (no error) if I hard-code in "13pt" instead of using an intervening \largefontsize definition. But if I hard-code the point size, it would hamper the modularity of our font configuration and the use of modes in which different size fonts are used. Maybe \define is just the wrong command to use when creating an identifier for a specified dimension? I tried changing it to \def and the error went away! I looked up the documentation of \define (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/define) and \def, and couldn't find any obvious difference, except that \def is TeX and \define is ConTeXt. The wiki page I just linked to mentions differences between MkII and MkIV, but this error occurs in both (in XeTeX and LuaTeX). Can someone help me understand why I should not use \define for this case? (Or in general, when I should not use \define?) Or does the problem lie somewhere else? Thanks, Lars

man pages for ConTeXt: looking for volunteers
by Mojca Miklavec 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Dear users, In preparation of this year's TeX Live release, it would be nice to also revise man pages a bit. Hans just implemented auto-conversion of help into man pages for the lua scripts. So the options are described as they should be, but if there are any volunteers to help polishing out and provide either more extensive descriptions, examples, ... or overall improvements, you are invited to leave some feedback or provide some help (additional text/descriptions or syntax corrections). The old man pages are at http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/man/ and the new (possibly still experimental) man pages are now part of ConTeXt (see doc/context/scripts). Mojca

Hi Mica and Keith, Thanks for your reaction. It is informative to hear your opninon. I did not want to start a discussion -- it was rather a "cri de coeur" born out of frustration -- so I will leave it at this. Best regards, Robert

Breaking ligatures
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Dear Knights, What is the canonical way to break a ligature in MkIV? The canonical TeX way, e.g. f{}i does not work if the feature liga=yes. The zero-width joiner or non-joiner will do it but that seems ad hoc or abusive ;-) since those are really for cursive scripts like Arabic and Syriac.
