Edit a ConTeXt generated document with Adobe Acrobat Professional
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Two days ago I already posted about this. But because of a glitch at my side, it became a conversation between me and Hans Hagen. I have almost finished writing documentation with ConTeXt. Now the client also needs to have the possibility to change the document. We are so far that the client will work with Adobe Acrobat. Now I have to prove that they can edit it. My boss has a 'recent' version 8 (latest is X). It does not look very promising to edit a document, but that is at this moment not the biggest problem. When I try to change text, I get: All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font. I have added a screenshot of the font properties. Is this a problem because of the old Adobe version, or the used fonts? If the latter, which fonts should I use to circumvent this problem? At the moment I am using: \usetypescript[helvetica] \setupbodyfont[helvetica] because they did not like the default font. -- Cecil Westerhof

Characters instead numbers in headings
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hello, I'm trying to get numbering style like this: A. Chapter A.1 Section I compiled a couple-of-months-old file and I got another result than before (?!). So I created a minimal example - hope this is a valid code for numbering (or rather "charactering") chapters as described before: ---- \definestructureconversionset[Num2Char][numbers,Characters][numbers] \setuphead[chapter][sectionconversionset=Num2Char] \starttext \chapter{Cha} \section{Sec} \stoptext ---- But numbers appear - so what has changed or what am I doing wrong?

General suggestion: Unit tests for ConText
by Peter Schorsch 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, during my work with context I wrote a bunch of fewliners mainly to test how to do things. When there change from mkii to mkiv occured many of my mini-tests failed and later with the growing of mkiv restartet to work - some just without adaption.. some with some adjustment to a new syntax. I realize that they have the same functionality like unit-tests - just instead of comparing classes and variables - a pdf-output is visually compared. So I like to suggest to introduce unit tests for context. It would a) increase the quality of context as it makes the testing easier for the developer b) it also would be a great source of minihowtos for learning context. Before I write my technical ideas about this I would like to know what are you thinking about this idea?

beta
by Hans Hagen 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, I uploaded a beta: - Project structure related files are now dealt with in lua: it's mostly compatible but somewhat more strict (proper push and pop). In the log file the used structure is summarized. - All writing from lua to tex is now under control of the cld infrastructure. This means that logging is more complete. The speed penalty is neglectable and in some places faster. - There are a couple of fixes related to marks. - There are a couple of fixes (thanks to Wolfgang, who checks all commands as part of the user interface (setups) documentation). - In \asciimode, %% now can be used as traditional tex comment starter. Also, modules and environments are loaded under the normal catcode regime. - Typing gets frontstripped with the number of spaces in front of \stoptyping so that one can have nicely formatted input like: \startitemize \startitem test \starttyping test \stoptyping \stopitem \stopitemize - Entities in xml mode have a slightly different roundtrip treatment now and hopefully Thomas S as well as Hans vd M files still work ok. - Unicode math variants (supported by xits) are supported: \mathematics { \utfchar{"2229} = \utfchar{"2229}\utfchar{"FE00} = \vsone{\utfchar{"2229}} } - Defining commands at the lua end now also handles arg only cases and has better tracing. - Some other other things, like \startlayout[page] ... \stoplayout and whatever I forgot.

unwanted page break
by Jeong Dalyoung 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Dear all, I have a strange output today. Writing a sentences, it makes a page break even though there are enough space for the remaining sentences. Here are sample output.(the lines is a frame) As you see there are enough space, I think. Sometimes, the section title is located at the bottom of the page, so I put \page to make the new section starts from a new page. In this case, is it possible to make section starts from a new page without saying \page? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Making bibliography references interactive in mkiv
by Christian 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hello list, I'm currently using the built in bib-module in mkiv together with a bib database file. How can I set it up so that clicking on a reference takes me to the corresponding entry in the publication list? Example: ...lots of text... You can find more information in [23]. ...many more pages of text... Publications ... [23] Hoekwater, T. (2006). CONTEXT Publication Module, The user documententation. ... When clicking on "[23]" in the text, I want to jump right to the [23] entry in the publication list. Is this possible?
