References to annotations
by Michael Green 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

I'm getting two unexpected results from references to annotations: 1. The numbering is different: \placeannotationnumber starts at 1, \in[ref] starts at 0 2. \atpage sometimes gives the page number and sometimes yields something surprising: "as we show below" (or above). That's nifty, but unexpected. Thank you. Michael ---- Example ----------------------------------------------------- \usemodule[annotation] \defineannotation[Arg][alternative=command,number=yes,command=\ArgCommand,text=Argument] \define[2]\ArgCommand{ \startitemize[n] \placeannotationcontent \stopitemize \placeannotationtext\ \placeannotationnumber\ \placeannotationtitle } \starttext \startArg[title=An OK Argument,reference=OK] \item All men are mortal. \item Socrates is a man. \item Therefore, Socrates isn’t going to make it. \stopArg References to the first argument: \in{argument}[OK], \atpage[OK] References to the second argument: \in{argument}[NotOK], \atpage[NotOK] \page \startArg[title=A Bad Argument,reference=NotOK] \item Someone I don’t know called me. \item Barack Obama is someone I don’t know. \item Therefore, Barack Obama called me. \stopArg References to the second argument: \in{argument}[NotOK], \atpage[NotOK] References to the first argument: \in{argument}[OK], \atpage[OK] \stoptext --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Results ---------------------------------------------------- [page 1] 1. All men are mortal. 2. Socrates is a man. 3. Therefore, Socrates isn’t going to make it. Argument 1 An OK Argument References to the first argument: argument 0, at page 1 References to the second argument: argument 1, as we show below [page 2] 1. Someone I don’t know called me. 2. Barack Obama is someone I don’t know. 3. Therefore, Barack Obama called me. Argument 2 A Bad Argument References to the second argument: argument 1, at page 2 References to the first argument: argument 0, as we show above ---------------------------------------------------------------------

trackers problem (fonts.all)
by Peter Rolf 05 Oct '11

Hi, I had problems loading an old ttf font in ConTeXt. When trying to figure out what goes wrong, I added "--trackers=fonts.all". Sadly this breaks with [..] -gds.lua><+ R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-def.lua> ! LuaTeX error R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/trac-set.lua:87: attempt to index local 'done' (a nil value) stack traceback: R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/trac-set.lua:87: in function 'set' R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/trac-set.lua:142: in function 'fnc' R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/trac-set.lua:152: in function 'register' R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/trac-set.lua:234: in function 'register' R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-def.lua:20: in main chunk R:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-cod.lua:42: in function 'registercode' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \registerctxluafile ...ua.registercode("#1","#2")} l.96 \registerctxluafile{font-def}{1.001} ? ----------------- Minimal example: \startext FOO \stoptext and call it with context --trackers=fonts.all test.tex Greetings, Peter

focus=standard not respected
by Marco 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

In the following example the page focus jumps back to »fit« after clicking on the footnote number after »Foo«, although »focus=standard« is set. \setupinteraction [state=start, focus=standard] \starttext Foo \startfootnote Bar \stopfootnote \stoptext How to respect the users scaling factor? BTW: Is there a particular reason why »focus=fit« is the default? Why should the page scaling change because the user clicked on a hyperlink? Marco

Hello! Here's another user from Finland. I'm a student in Helsinki University and also a course teacher in Aalto University. I've switched from LaTeX roughly a year ago and using it for mathematics, essays and my upcoming master's thesis. I would also be interested in sharing experiences. Best regards, Otso Helenius ------------------------- FROM: Mari Voipio SUBJECT: [NTG-context] Any (other) ConTeXt users in Finland? Hello All! Inspired by the recent ConTeXt meeting where I again enjoyed meeting other users as well as the developers, I'm wondering if there are any other ConTeXt users in Finland? And if so, would you be interested in a mini-meeting for an afternoon or evening, possibly at my work in Vantaa?

Hello Aditya, You're the witness ! I obtain the same document that you've obtained : look at the third page : the size of the document is smaller, the text doesn't flow correctly on this page. I've tried it on my document : no success. For Hans, the \page make me jump ton a new page but doesn't correct the problem.

Error: \rootfloatparameter has an extra }
by zs 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hello, trying to recompile older work with recent context, strange error appeared: ! Argument of \rootfloatparameter has an extra }. I extracted minimal example, see below. It seems, it has something to do with position of first image. When the code is slightly changed (removing/adding x or image, font size change), compilation runs well. Similar error was reported few days ago (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg58816.html) but the patch has no effect here. ------- minimal example compiled with "context example.tex" -------- \starttext \setupbodyfont[rm,13pt] \subsection[]{x} \startitemize[] \item x \item x \item x \stopitemize \subsection{x} x x x x x \placefigure[][]{}{ \externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth] } x \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \subsection[]{S} x x \stoptext

I wonder why they are working. I have the reader 9.4.6 and no acrobat at all. Wolfgang

This is working ok with pdf > files and this has worked ok with context prior to the update. I have the following questions: The executable pdfdde, resp. their incarnations pdfopen and pdfclose know an option --rx. Is this necessary to use acrobat reader 10? pdfdde --help outputs: Beware: only documents opened by `pdfopen' can be closed by `pdfclose'. But if I open my compiled file manually (not by pdfopen), --autopdf works ok. It closes the reader and opens him with the new compiled file and so on. So, an initally open with pdfopen does not work! How is pdfopen/close working? Can someone explain? pdfdde seems to be based on ------------------- DDEOpen.c This file is furnished to you by Adobe Systems Incorporated under the terms of the Acrobat (r) Plug-ins Software Development Kit License Agreement.

I do not understand at all what has happend. 10 Minutes before my context-update, all was working ok. There must be a little difference. Wolfgang

\doifmode and friends
by Meer, H. van der 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

I find that "abc \doifmode{mode}{text} more text" can introduce extra whitespace. I conclude therefore that there is no \ignorespaces at work here. As a consequence the \doifmode does not completely disappear if mode is not satisfied. Is this intentional or should this behaviour be changed? Hans van der Meer
