Bug with linenumbering
by Aditya Mahajan 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi, Line numbering does not respect the parameters given with \startlinenumbering. For example: \definelinenumbering [test] \starttext \startlinenumbering[test][color=blue,align=flushright,distance=0.5em] \input knuth \stoplinenumbering \page \setuplinenumbering [test][color=blue,align=flushright,distance=0.5em] \startlinenumbering[test] \input knuth \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Aditya

[***SPAM***] Indentation for beginner
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 03 May '12

03 May '12

I am putting together a needed resume and learning context at the same time. What I want is or should be simple, but I am not familiar with which options to set. I am using the following, because I don't want to use any margin for some forgotten reason, just text area. I am currently using this: (abbreviated) % % relevant snippet % \definedescription[rsection][location=left,width=3.0cm,headstyle=\sc] \rsection{Education} \startitemize[5,packed] \item bozo the clown \item is here today. \stopitemize \rsection{Work\\Experience} \startitemize[5,packed] \item UCLA BoA \item LMU BSCS \stopitemize ... % % end snippet % The above is fine, except that I want the items to be level with the "resume section header". As it is now the items come out below the resume section description, like this: EDUCATION * bozo the clown * is here today WORK EXPERIENCE * UCLA BoA * LMU BSCS --------------------------------------------- % Whereas I want it to be like this: EDUCATION * bozo the clown * is here today WORK * UCLA BoA EXPERIENCE * LMU BSCS % above or below WORK EXPERIENCE * UCLA BoA * LMU BSCS % In other words I want the first item of an itemization to line up with the resume section description header's first or last line. I am thinking it might be to set someing in the "before", "after", or "command" or to set maybe one to /nop out whatever is there currently. I don't know how to find out what commands these default to, if any, but even if I knew at this point, I would still be stuck. Though I'd like to know about that to. Any advice on this would be appreciated of how to get this desired format would be much appreciated. Regards, hwitloc

MetaPost circular_shade Command
by Troy Henderson 03 May '12

03 May '12

The command circular_shade(fullcircle scaled 4in,0,white,red); in MetaPost does not act as I think it should. It performs a gradient fill starting at the center of the circle by filling this center in white (which is expected), and changing the color as the radius/diameter changes (which is also expected), but the final radius appears to have a RGB color of about (1,0.29,0.29) which is not red (thus is unexpected) since red = (1,0,0). However, the command circular_shade(unitsquare shifted (-0.5,-0.5) scaled 4in,0,white,red); creates a gradient filled square whose center is white and whose northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast corner are red (as somewhat expected) and thus whose east, north, west, and south tip are about (1,0.29,0.29) like the circle. I would appreciate an explanation of why this acts like it does, and (more importantly), let me know how I can get a gradient filled circle whose center gets filled with a RGB color c and outer radius color d. Clearly, circular_shade(fullcircle scaled 4in,0,c,d); does not do this. Thanks in advance, Troy Henderson

Background on the 1st page only, page numbering from the 2nd page
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hello, how to specify the page background for the first page only and how to start page numbering from the second page? Here's my trial: ---- \defineoverlay[Bkg][{\externalfigure[cow]}] \setupbackgrounds[paper][background=Bkg] %\setuppagenumbering[state=2] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stoptext ---- - The background is on all pages, so is the page numbering. Any ideas? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Problem with \inmargin on \item lines
by Malte Stien 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi everyone, I am experiencing a problem with \inmargin{some text} in \itemized lists. I am using them a lot in my documents, and it is kind of annoying. It appears that if one uses the \inmargin macro just prior to the \item macro, the in-margin text is typeset against the previous line, not the line with the \item. Minimal example. \starttext \startitemize \item This is just a normal completely innocent paragraph against which one will be able to judge the amount of indentation of the next paragraph. \inmargin{Duck}\item This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment \stopitemize \stoptext That seems fair enough and even makes sense on some level. If however, one reverses the two macros, like so: \item\inmargin{Duck} This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment the leading space just after the closing brace is actually printed. I take this to be a bug, or is this by design? The only way I can around this is to not use a space, like so: \item\inmargin{Duck}This paragraph has a duck inmargin comment But I don't find that to be a satisfying solution. After all I am using ConTeXt because I am a bit pedantic about text, even the source code in this case. Regards, Malte.

Should command `\setnumber' print number in text?
by Vladimir Lomov 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hello, I faced with following behavior of `\setnumber' command, consider the example: <example file="ex1.tex"> \setupbodyfont[computer-modern-unicode,12pt] \definenumber[course] \setnumber[course]{3} \starttext Hello. \stoptext </example> Processing by context (ConTeXt ver: 2012.04.26 22:27 MKIV fmt: 2012.4.28 int: english/english) I get PDF with number 3 typeset on line above Hello. Is it expected behavior? If yes, how can I increase/set value for "number"-command (counter) then? P.S. I tried with commented `\setupbodyfont', all is ok. Is it mean that command is deprecated? --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- You worry too much about your job. Stop it. You are not paid enough to worry.

EuroTeX 2012 / 6th ConTeXt Meeting
by Taco Hoekwater 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi all, Invitation ========== EuroTeX 2012, the sixth ConTeXt meeting, the NTG najaarsbijeenkomst, and Dante's Herbsttagung will all be held together at the same time and place in Breskens, the Netherlands, on October 8 - October 12 The organisation of the conference is a joint effort of the NTG, Dante and the ConTeXt Group. Call for papers =============== We all know already that TeX is one of the best tools in the world for all forms of professional typesetting. But also, it is one of the very few totally programmable tools in the world, and that makes it possible to adapt TeX (as well as many accompanying tools) to a very, very large extent. Breskens is a small beach town that lives mostly off tourism, and people on vacation tend to do slightly odd, relaxing things that they do not normally have time for. Combining these two, the motto of this conference is: Recreational uses of TeX Of course, as usual on a TeX conference, we are not too picky about the topic of talks and as recreational also embeds "creation", this theme opens up to whatever you can make to fit in. Just be creative. Please send submissions (and other proposals) to eurotex AT ntg.nl. Registering =========== Registration is open starting today, and will be possible until September 10. See http://www.ntg.nl/eurotex2012/ for additional details. The programme promises to be quite interesting, so we hope to see you there! On behalf of the organising committee, Taco Hoekwater PS Please forward this message to whoever seems appropriate to you.

LuaTeX error after update to ubuntu 12.04
by S Barmeier 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

After updating to ubuntu 12.04, my shouts of joy were smothered by the following !LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading () ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 70 I ran mtxrun --script fonts --reload, updated to the latest context version, ran luatools --generate and context --make and still am presented with the above error message after 10-15 minutes of paralysing processing. The compiling seems to run as always, until it reaches the last page, at which point the computer freezes and takes about 10 minutes to present me with the error. The following is another snapshot of the output which I noticed for the first time: system > logs > lua: compiling /home/user/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/fonts/otf/andika-r.tma into /home/user/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/fonts/otf/andika-r.tmc fonts > otf loading > preprocessing and caching took 73.009 seconds Any ideas where to start? Many thanks, Severin

Uncovering Slides in a Presentation with Progress Meter
by Troy Henderson 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

I am trying to uncover content within an itemized list, and I am using \phantom to get the desired effect. However, I would like to tweak the progress meter to consider these "pages" as the same instead of separate. I am pasting a minimal example below, and I would like to know if (1) there is a more "standard" way (instead of using \phantom) of uncovering the second item in the itemized list (2) the progress meter can be modified to illustrate 3 (instead of 4) total pages AND not have the progress meter change between pages 2 and 3 (since I want to view them as the same "page") Troy Henderson -- \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupinteraction[page=yes,menu=on,state=start] \setupsubpagenumber[state=start] \setuplayout[bottom=12pt] \startinteractionmenu[bottom] \interactionbar[alternative=f] \stopinteractionmenu \starttext First page \page \startitemize \item Foo \phantom{ \item Bar } \stopitemize \page \startitemize \item Foo \item Bar \stopitemize \page Last page \stoptext

Units module and unbowed letters ..
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hello ConTeXist. When I work with Units module, I gain at the output of the greek "mi" letter an italic font. It seems strange. It is so in terms of typography correctly or not? Can also be used for typing (with units module) unbowed letters? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my example: \usemodule[units] \usetypescript[times][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \starttext 5\,\Micro\Meter 5\,\uMeter 5\,μm \stoptext
