making horizontal space in luacode.
by Jeong Dal 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Dear all, 1. I'd like to make a horizontal space using \hspace[3em] inside luacode. But context.hspace({3em}), context.hspace({"3em"}), context.hspace("3em") don't work. And print(" ") doesn't work either. How to make some horizontal space in luacode? 2. There is no white line even though I put "\blank[big]" between Frame(bring it from MetaFun) and text as in the following example. \starttext %%%%%%%% framed Text \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric o ; path a, b ; pair c ; p := textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; o := BodyFontSize ; a := unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) ; p := p shifted (2o,OverlayHeight-ypart center p) ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red) ; b := a superellipsed .95 ; %fill b withcolor .85white ; draw b ; b := (boundingbox p) superellipsed .95 ; fill b withcolor .425green;%.85white ; draw b ; draw p withcolor black ; setbounds currentpicture to a ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame, offset=\bodyfontsize, width=\overlaywidth]%.8\textwidth] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame {\stopFunnyText} \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut\ss\bf\white #1\hss}}} This is a test line file for blank spaces. \blank[big] % white line is wanted {\FrameTitle{Test} \StartFrame \startitemize[n] \item the first line. \item the second line. \item the third line. \stopitemize \StopFrame } \blank[big] % white line is wanted Here is another test line. \stoptext What should I do to make a blank line before and after Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Test suite report
by Marco Pessotto 21 Oct '12

21 Oct '12

Hello there. Aditya added a couple of testfiles. Thanks a lot. I encourage anyone reporting bugs to send a minimal example to me too, via mail or via pull requests on github, so people running the tests can catch regressions. I modified the code, so a unique filename for each test is not required anymore. I promoted to references the PDF which have a minimal shifting, because they generated too much noise, but I left one just as a reminder of the different distance between columns. Issue still pending (as far as I know): https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite/blob/master/src/b… > Number should continue.There are several long lines. Are the numbers correctly > managed with long lines? > \startcode[continue] But it doesn't continue and it's reset to 1. Cheers -- Marco

Overlapping margin figures
by Marco Patzer 21 Oct '12

21 Oct '12

Hi, I have narrow margin floats and wide floats that protrude into the margin. Currently they overlap with the narrow figures. How to avoid this? \useMPlibrary [dum] \definefloat [marginfigure] [marginfigures] [figure] \setupfloat [marginfigure] [default=margin] \definefloat [widefigure] [widefigures] [figure] \setupfloat [widefigure] [location=left] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{%% \startplacemarginfigure \externalfigure [dum] [width=\rightmarginwidth, height=2cm] \stopplacemarginfigure} \startplacewidefigure \externalfigure [dum] [width=\dimexpr\textwidth+\rightmargintotal\relax, height=3cm] \stopplacewidefigure \stoptext Marco

Wolfgang, Thank you. That is very close. > Replace the line above with this block: > > \startframed[frame=off,align=normal,offset=none,foregroundstyle=\tfc,foregroundcolor=darkgray] > \getvariable{titlepage}{title} > \stopframed That left-aligns it; I need to right align it. Already tried align=right and align=flushright, none of which worked. I am just guessing here as there does not seem to be any documentation available on \startframed. How can I right-align this?

way setting does not work in \setupcaptions
by Marco Patzer 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

Hi, the `way` setting cannot be applied globally to all floats using `\setupcaptions`. For the `prefix` value it works. Can this be fixed? \setupblackrules [width=4cm, height=1cm] %% prefix is applied, way is not %% \setupcaptions %% [prefix=no, %% way=bytext] %% prefix and way is applied \setupcaption [figure, table] [prefix=no, way=bytext] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{% \startchapter [title=Chapter] \dorecurse{2}{% \startplacefigure \blackrule \stopplacefigure \startplacetable \blackrule \stopplacetable} \stopchapter} \stoptext Marco

Help with Long Titles
by Malte Stien 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hello, I am using a the startsetups mechanism that defines a title page in my environment file. That way anyone creating a document in my organisation can create a new document and get a consistent look of the title page. There is one problem with this: On occasions I get very long document titles and then the title extends over the left-hand edge of the page. I would like to incorporate a new line into the document title; I'd even be happy to do that manually, ie. it does not have to be automatic. There are two problems here: 1. I had not had any success with putting a newline into the title; it will need to be not where the titlepage is defined but where it is used (see below). I have tried \par and \\ and none of them work. 2. Assuming I found a way to do this, I would need to also find a way of reducing the \blank[170mm] by the amount that the second line of the title takes up to render the information down the bottom in roughly the same place. If push comes to shove, I could create a second titlepage setup for two-line titles, but I much rather not. Is there a solution to that? Is there maybe a way to position the information down the bottom absolute? Here is minimal example (or something very close to that): % The title page \startsetups titlepage \startstandardmakeup[style=sans] \blank[50mm] \rightaligned{\bfd\getvariable{titlepage}{project}} \textrule \rightaligned{\tfc\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{title}}} \blank[170mm] \starttabulate[|plf{\tfa}|prf{\tfa}|] \NC\tfa\copyright\thinspace Pearson Pty Ltd \NC \getvariable{titlepage}{author} \NC\NR \TB[small] \NC \color[darkgray]{Commercial in Confidence} \NC \color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{version}} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \tfx Uncontrolled copy if printed. \stopstandardmakeup \stopsetups % ...and this is how it is being used \starttext \setvariables [titlepage] [set=\texsetup{titlepage}, project={Pearson}, title={This document title is very long, so I'd like to \par break it into two lines}, author={Tony Mueller}, version={Version 1.0.0}] \stoptext Thank you very much for all the help I have received so far.

Table Numbering
by Malte Stien 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hello, I have just up just upgraded from version 2012.03.30 to the latest beta. Suddenly none of my tables are named chapter.number anymore, eg. Table 1.3 for the third table in Chapter 1, but just 3. That is, the chapter number is no longer prepended. Has something changed there? How can I enable the old behaviour again? Thank you, Malte. PS: The latest stable seems to still be 2011.05.18; any reason why that does not get updated?
