postponing broken?
by Alan BRASLAU 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello, In the latest beta, postponing seems to be broken (or changed). Minimal example: \starttext \input tufte (see \in{figure}[fig:cow].) \startpostponing [+0] \startplacefigure [location=here,reference={fig:cow}, title={A cow that does not break the paragraph}] \externalfigure [cow] [width=.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stoppostponing \input tufte \stoptext Explanation: In order to have figures placed near their first reference in the text, and to avoid the paragraph break that results from placefigure, I enclose it in between \startpostponing[+0]\stoppostponing. In the latest beta, all the figures (and their references) disappear. Using a slightly older version ConTeXt ver: 2012.06.28 10:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.6.28 int: english/english this works (but the figure in the minimal example above gets pushed to the following page?).

misprint in wiki
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

In the wiki under \setupexternalfigures one finds for the framing of the figure following in the table: "frames on off" Mark the 's' at the end of 'frames' I tested it and found it has to be 'frame' without the 's'. This is the same misprint as occurred in the earlier ConTeXt manual of 2001. Perhaps someone knowledageable about changing the wiki can verify this and will be so kind as to update the wiki.

Tagged PDF
by Wray, Paul 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello all First of all I must say that I am a complete newbie to the TeX world. I am evaluating Context for generation of PDFs for educational use. We aim to produce PDFs that are accessible to screen reader users and for that reason we would like to create tagged PDFs. My initial experiments with tagged PDF have so far been unsuccessful. I am using ConTeXT standalone, (ConTeXT ver: 2012.07.07 MKIV fmt:2012.7.8 int: english/english ). I am using this tex file as a test input (have left in line breaks in case that is significant): \setupstructure[state=start] \starttext \startbodymatter \startchapter[title=Chapter 1] The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 2] Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of the party. \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \stoptext When I open the resulting PDF in Adobe Acrobat 10.0.3 and show the tags navigation pane, it says "No tags available". Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

unknown library lmodern
by Meer, H. van der 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

I spot in the log the following message: fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'lmodern' Does this point to a problem? In good faith I believe I have a fairly standard installation. And in /usr/local/texlive/2012 the TeXlive distribution. Neither adding \setupbodyfont[modern,14pt] nor omitting all \setupbodyfont's changes this. Hans van der Meer

setupbars
by Meer, H. van der 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

This gives an error: \starttext \setupbars[rulethickness=4pt] \stoptext ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: malformed number near '4pt'. ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.04 23:48 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.6 int: english/english Elsewhere this is ok, as for example in: \framed[rulethickness=4pt]{} Strangely in node-rul.mkiv I see: \c!rulethickness=2.5 whereas in pack-rul.mkiv: \c!rulethickness=\linewidth I am inclined to spot an error here, or at least an inconsistency in the API.

two more bugs in latest
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hi all, sorry for bringing the bad news all the time... There are two more bugs in the latest beta which I just stumbled upon: userpage=bysection does not work, pdf bookmarks are not produced. Example: \setupuserpagenumber [state=start,way=bysection] \setupfootertexts [{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} -- \userpagenumber] \setuphead [section] [page=yes] \setupinteraction [state=start] \placebookmarks [section] [all] \starttext \startsection [title=First Section] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par} \stopsection \startsection [title=Second Section] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par} \stopsection \stoptext Gives expected results with 2012.06.30 12:32, but not with 2012.07.10 00:56. All best Thomas

Table of Contents & Section Numbering
by Malte Harder 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Dear all, I'm quite new to ConTeXt and I'm just trying to set up a template for my first project. I'm using MkIV and the ConTeXt Standalone nightlies. I've encountered the problem that I was not able to create a table of contents (neither \placelist,\placecontents, with setuplist or without worked). I do not get any error, but there is also no list generated. I think, I tried every hint I found on this list. At that point I thought it might be a problem with the version I'm using and upgraded to the latest beta. However the problem remains. I'm using the project features, frontmater/backmatter and custom headers, but also with everything turned off the placelist does not work? Does anybody know what the problem could be? Another problem, which occured only with the latest nightlies, is that Chapters, Sections and Subsesctions all apparently share the same counter and simply count up from 1, so the first section has number 2 instead of 1.1 and so on. Is this a temporary bug or did something change that needs specific setup? Thanks in advance! Malte

\subsection produces the wrong result
by Hongwen Qiu 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

With ConTeXt version: 2012.07.10 00:56, the following minimal example produces the wrong result: \starttext \section{Section} \subsection{Subsection} % This generates a section other than a subsection \stoptext

Page Backgrounds
by Kip Warner 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hey list, On the cover page of my book I'd like just an image displayed and another image used as the background for every other page in the book. So I put this in my environment, % Cover image... \definelayer [CoverImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] \setlayer [CoverImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Cover.jpg] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer % Regular background image... \definelayer [BackgroundImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight, repeat=yes] \setlayer [BackgroundImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Background.png] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer , the following in the book's first page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] , and the following on second page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage] . But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank white background. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
