Arabic Characters shown wrong
by "H. Özoguz" 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi there, today I have the following issue: In Arabic there is a character called "Lam-Alif", it is a composition of "Lam" and "Alif", which is displayed usually in another way, than just writing "Lam" and "Alif" after each other in the usual way. See here: ??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet For Arabic I use the font Scheherazade \definefont[Shehkl][name:Scheherazade*arabic at 15pt] \definestartstop[Arab][commands=\setups{Arabic}] \def\Arab{\doArab} \def\Arab[#1]{ \startArab \noindentation \setupalign[r2l]\Shehkl#1 \stopArab } which worked perfect, until today! Now if I write \Arab[??] it is now not shown, like it should (and like your emailer will show it probably correctly, too). For conveniance I opened another, older, document, where the arab worked, and compiled it again, with absolutely no change -> and again, the same bug. What is the problem, what changed in ConText relevant to this problem, if any? Thank you :) Huseyin

Enable comments/highlighting in the output PDF
by Devendra Ghate 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

Hello everyone, I would like to create an output PDF file on which comments can be added by a reader for feedback. I do not know the settings to be applied in context to enable comments/highlighting of a section etc. in the generated PDF file. I am using free Adobe reader 9 on ubuntu presently. I have checked that adding comments works in this adobe reader for PDF files that have this enabled. Regards, Devendra

Referencing a figure
by Devendra Ghate 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

I have written a macro to include figures. I pass the label name and the caption as the two arguments. But when I try to refer to the figure, it shows ??. Surely, my macro does not define the figure label as intended by me. What am I doing wrong? Also, while trying to debug this problem, I tried using *\version[temporary]* to see the labels as suggested in the Context manual (chapter on Cross References (page 207) of cont-ini.pdf). But it didn't show many the label of the figure. MWE: \useMPlibrary[dum] \unprotect \define[2]\dincludefigure{% \placefigure[fig:#1]{#2}{\externalfigure[dummy][width=10cm]}% }% \protect \starttext \dincludefigure{one}{A figure} I am refering to \in{Figure}[fig:one]. \stoptext

Problem with arguments in macro
by PELLOUIN Christophe 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hello, When writing a macro, I observed that some arguments are not transmitted correctly, particularly when the type is defined as "text". Here is an example with the macro max defined in the file plain.mp With this program: beginfig(1) show("first test"); show max (1,2,8,5,15,2,1,4); numeric u_; v_=15; show("second test"); show max (1,2,8,5,v_,2,1,4); numeric u_; u_=15 % u_ variable is also defined in the macro max show("third test"); show max (1,2,8,5,u_,2,1,4); endfig; end The result is: This is MetaPost, version 1.504 (kpathsea version 6.0.1) (mpost.mp (c:/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/metapost/base/plain.mp Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.004)) (./bizzare.mp >> "first test" >> 15 >> "second test" >> 15 >> "third test" >> 8 [1] ) 1 output file written: bizzare.1 Transcript written on bizzare.log. The third result is different because the variable u_ is defined in the macro max of the file plain.mp Christophe Pellouin

Misbehaving flow charts
by Marco Patzer 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hi, I have a few questions regarding flow charts. 1) Setting “offset=none” yields to “Missing number, treated as zero.” 2) “option=test” should display a grid according to the manual, but it doesn't. It only displays the anchors. 3) What does the maxwidth option do? 4) What are the options “x” and “y” for? I'd like to set the width of the cells so that they fit within the text width. Here is my attempt, but there are several issues. \usemodule [chart] \setupFLOWcharts [width=37mm, dx=1cm, offset=-1cm] \showframe \starttext \startFLOWchart [foo] \dorecurse{3}{ \startFLOWcell \location {\recurselevel,1} \expanded{\text {Foo \recurselevel}} \stopFLOWcell} \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart [foo] \stoptext The width is set manually to 37mm, which is ugly and not exact. To get rid of the inter cell space I used a negative offset, which clips the cell frame. How do I 5) set the width of the entire chart to \textwidth, 6) get rid of the left and right cell distance without clipping the frame? Using a table it's simple to set up BTW: \showframe \starttext \bTABLE [width=broad, distance=2cm, align=middle, rulethickness=2pt] \bTR \bTD Foo 1\eTD \bTD Foo 2\eTD \bTD Foo 3\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Marco
