Bug with location=nonumber
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hi, Consider the following test file \starttext \startplacefigure[location={here,nonumber}, title=none] test \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location={here,nonumber}, title={test}] test \stopplacefigure \stoptext The title of the second figure is displayed. The "bug" is because I have used location=nonumber in the first figure. If I remove `nonumber` from the first figure and use \startplacefigure[location=here, title=none] then the title of the second figure is displayed. Aditya

Metapost graphics in separate file, help needed
by Christian 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Dear List, I am experiencing a strange problem. I have a project, essentially with the following structure (desperate attempt to keep track of my stuff): mainfile.mkiv: % BOF ...lots of setups and settings... \starttext \input metapostgraphics.mkiv \input chapter1.mkiv \input chapter2.mkiv \input chapter3.mkiv \stoptext % EOF I generate the PDF with 'context mainfile.mkiv' So far for the structure. Now my problem: metapostgraphics.mkiv contains several (4) metapost graphics with \startuseMPgraphics{nameX} ... \stopuseMPgraphics. In chapter2.mkiv I want to use them with \useMPgraphics{nameX}. It worked well until today, when I added a fifth graphic. Then I suddenly get a frame with 'undefined' inside instead of the picture. I tried everything, checked for typos, tried different names, double checked the MP-code etc. but to no avail. It only works if I put the exact same MP-code between \startMPcode \stopMPcode directly in the chapter2.mkiv What is wrong here? Am I missing something? Did I get the input mechanism all wrong?

Streams
by Willi Egger 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hi, I was looking for a possibility to typeset an article left in the original language and right in the translation.I found then the mail of Thomas, when he announced the availability of streams (2006). - Great, that is what I am looking for! However when issuing \usemodule[streams] I get immediately a fatal error: undefined controlsequence. I believe is \defineoutputstream. So it looks like the module is broken. - Is there another approach to get two texts in different languages next to each other? Kind regards Willi

equation numbering
by Meer, H. van der 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

ConTeXt still has some mysteries for me ;-) This time it is the equationnumbering. Doing \placeformula\startformula..\stopformula gives the equation a certain number, lets say (1.5). Now I change the call to \placeformula[equ:thisfml]\startformula..\stopformula and the number changes to (1.6). Why is this? What I have in mind is to number all formula consecutively with (chapternumber.1), chapternumber.2) etc. Regardless whether I want to reference some of the equations later on and some can stay without a reference because that is not needed. Nevertheless, the ascending numbering pleases me. Hans van der Meer

Floating picture in margin with no interference with text/sections
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Dear list, I use mkiv which was installed today. Two questions. 1) Is it possible to put floating pictures in the margin without locking them in the current section? See the following example: %%% Start example \setuplayout[ rightmargin=5cm, width=fit, ] %\setuphead[section][ %aligntitle=float, %] \starttext \showframe \section{This is a short section} It contains one figure. \placefigure[inright,top][none]{A caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm]} \section{This is another short section} It contains the same figure. \placefigure[inright,top][none]{A caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm,height=6cm]} \section{This is a third section} \input knuth \stoptext %%% Stop example The result is given by http://tmp.oblandat.se/fig1.pdf If I uncomment (what I thought was the solution) the \setuphead part I get http://tmp.oblandat.se/fig2.pdf which looks better, but not as I want it. I want the sections and the text to look just as if there were no figures at all, and I want the figures to be stacked in the margin, the first one at the top of the margin, and the second one just below the first one. Is this possible? 2) If I really must not want a new page right after a section head (this happens in my long document, but no minimal example is given), is there any penalty or something i can set? This happens fairly often with the standard setup, it seems. Best regards, Mikael

Integral limits on wrong place
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Dear list, in the latest minimals (downloaded today 15 nov 2011) I get the integral limits placed below and above the integral sign, per default. %%% Example %\setupmathematics[integral=nolimits] \starttext $\int_a^b f(x)\, dx$ \startformula \int_a^b f(x)\, dx. \stopformula \stoptext %%% End of example The result is http://tmp.oblandat.se/integraltest.pdf I'd expect the limits to be placed more to the right. Even if the line \setupmathematics[integral=nolimits] is uncommented (as suggested on the wiki) nothing is improved. Is this something that has changed recently? I can add a \nolimits at every integral but that is not a nice option. It would be nice to have the integrals back as they used to be. With best regards (and thanks in advance), Mikael

Bug report: --result switch fails in larger documents
by Jon Crump 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

All, Now that I've recovered my latest beta: context.mkiv 2011.11.14 16:17 (thanks Mojca, Hans) I can confirm that the bug still exists as described: On a short test file: context --environment=arabtestI.tex --result=tmp arab-testII.xml success: mtx-context | result renamed to: tmp system | total runtime: 2.839 On a larger file of 54 pages context --environment=svo-tei.tex --result=tmp svoboda_diary.xml failure: mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 tmp.pdf not created, but svoboda_diary.pdf is updated instead. Regression error? List correspondence from March with subject '620 pages limit?' seems related. Correspondence ends with "Taco found the bug (thanks!): There is a fix luatex rev. 4093." Thoughts?

current version?
by Jon Crump 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Dear all, Can someone help? By some incantation that I cannot now seem to reproduce, I was able to obtain and install: mtx-context | current version: 2011.11.14 16:17 In an attempt to update this version, I ran first-setup.sh found at http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh and what got installed was: mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04 Can anyone tell me how to get back to 2011.11.14 or to the latest version? Jon

Avoiding widows and orphans (again?)
by Christian 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Good day to you, I saw the related messages in the archive, but I don't really get it. I'm looking for a (global) setting, that prevents the last line of a paragraph to slip on the next page. If it really must, it shall also drag another one with it for company. Please enlighten me.
