simplefonts and math
by Pablo Rodríguez 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Hi Wolfgang, the following sample seems not to select the right math font: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \setmathfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext The basic operation $ 1 + 1 = 2 $. \stoptext I'm afraid this might be a bug, since the sample is taken from the source code hosted at Bitbucket. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Footnote rule colour
by Kumar Appaiah 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Dear ConTeXt list, I am trying to use footnotes in a presentation, and the text colour I am using is white. Now, I've managed to set up the frame I want, and the footnote appears in white, but the line rule above the footnotes still appears black. Could you please let me know how I can make that line white as well? Thanks. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah

Volunteers for testing a native rsync binary on Windows
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Dear ConTeXters, I've found a rsync binary on MinGW project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Extension/rsync/rsync-3.0.… If there are any volunteers to test how the binary behaves when replacing the one from http://distribution.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip with the one from mingw, I will be grateful. The idea is to fetch context-setup-mswin.zip, delete cygiconv-2.dll, cygwin1.dll and rsync.exe, try to replace them with the binary from MinGW and test if everything still runs smoothly after that. If it does, I would prefer to use the binary from MinGW. Mojca

Which text editor can do that, find too long sentences? Huseyin Am 15.02.2013 13:55, schrieb ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl: > This sounds more like a job for the text editor.

Find too long sentences
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Good Friday there, working on a book with many too long sentences, I got the following idea/question: Is it possible to recognize the length of a sentence, and to let context show in the pdf, if there is a too long sentence. For example I am thinking of an command like \version[longsentence,15] which sets an symbol like "*" in the margin, if a sentence has more than 15 words. First, correct sentence-regonition could be a task: It is not enough to count the words between two dots, because of abbreviations. But there is probably a known algorithm for handling those problems. I think a feature like this could be interesting for context (and for my work :D) Thanks for you comments Huseyin

Search path for external figures changed
by Marco Patzer 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hi, recently there was a discussion about search paths for external figures. Now I noticed that the search path is much stricter than it used to be and by default only local images are found. Is it intended that images are not searched in the texmf tree unless explicitly told to do so? Example: %% no cow without location=default %% \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \starttext \externalfigure [cow] \stoptext Marco

MPinclusions, MPextensions, MPinitializations and MPinstances
by Marco Patzer 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hi, I know that MPinclusions are included only once and MPinitializations are included once for each graphic. But how do MPextensions fit in? How can I define variables or definitions that are local to a particular MP instance? Marco

buffer identity?
by Meer, H. van der 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

When one has \startbuffer … \stopbuffer or \startbuffer[abc] … \stopbuffer Is it possible to find in a redefined \stopbuffer the identity of the buffer in question? For example to do \def\stopbuffer{\doif{BUFFERIDENTITY}{abc} …} Hans van der Meer

code after \stopbuffer
by H. van der Meer 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Is it possible to have a command automatically executed each time \stopbuffer has been read? Preferably coupled to a specific named \startbuffer[this_one], iff possible at all of course. Thus: \startbuffer[this_one] ..contents.. \stopbuffer % in execution followed by \command Hans van der Meer

Failing MPruns
by Marco Patzer 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hi, The following used to work: \startMPrun{foo} beginfig(1); fill fullcircle scaled 1cm; endfig; \stopMPrun \starttext \externalfigure [mprun:foo.1] [width=4cm] \stoptext now I get: ! LuaTeX error ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:690: bad argument #1 to 'isfile' (string expected, got nil) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'isfile' ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:690: in function 'locate' ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:922: in function 'identifier' ...ext-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/grph-inc.lua:940: in function 'identify' [string "\directlua "]:1: in main chunk.
