Automatic landscape figure rotation
by Pontus Lurcock 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Dear ConTeXters, I have a full-page, landscape figure in my double-sided document which I rotate 90° to fit the page. In all the books I've seen, such figures are rotated ‘outward’ -- i.e. with the top towards the binding, so 90° clockwise on verso pages and 90° anticlockwise on recto. Is there a simple way to do this automatically in ConTeXt? At the moment I just check where the figure ends up, then change it manually. (Apologies if there is a documented answer -- I've searched the wiki and docs, but it's the kind of question which is hard to reduce into keywords.) Thanks, POnt

testing TeX Live 2011
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hello, apart from a pending fix for TeX Live installer (shell script "install-tl") which writes out a proper texmfcnf.lua based on what user enters as his/her preferences for locations of TEXMFHOME etc. (if you don't touch any settings, this is not too important and if you do, you can manually fix the file) and some yet-to-be-made decision about when to run 'mtxrun --generate" (which you can also ignore and simply run mtxrun --generate by hand), ConTeXt in TeX Live 2011 should work now, thanks to all the effort that Taco in particular has put into this. If anyone is willing to help to work on man pages, please feel free to volunteer (context man page has already been committed, mtxrun not, but both of them need more input). The following is the list of modules. If you miss any, it is now the best time to ask. (TikZ is also there; I need to test it, but it should work.) depend context-account depend context-algorithmic depend context-bnf depend context-chromato depend context-construction-plan depend context-degrade depend context-filter depend context-fixme depend context-french depend context-fullpage depend context-games depend context-gnuplot depend context-letter depend context-lettrine depend context-lilypond depend context-mathsets depend context-notes-zh-cn depend context-rst depend context-ruby depend context-simplefonts depend context-simpleslides depend context-top-ten depend context-typearea depend context-typescripts depend context-vim Mojca

Disable line-break when \typefile
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hello, is there a way how to disable line breaks of (very) long lines typeset with \typefile, even if this would cause overfull hbox (i.e. typesetting to "out-of-page" area)? The following example: ---- % This a very long line which should be typeset to one line even if there'll be overfull hbox \definetyping[Std][bodyfont=10pt,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] \starttext \typefile[Std]{TypeFi.mkiv} \startcolumns[n=2,rule=on] \typefile[Std]{TypeFi.mkiv} \stopcolumns \stoptext ---- gives a result where there is new line between "overfull" and "hbox" in normal mode and between "be" and "typeset" and "be" and "overfull" in column mode. Is there a way how to avoid this, how to force continuing on the same line? The (long) line "\definetyping[Std][bodyfont=10pt,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace]" in column mode is typeset exactly how I'd need, i.e. it overlaps to the next column. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

math: using `align` ⁺ and ⁻ not displayed
by Paul Menzel 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, using the Neo keyboard layout [1] I am able to insert the superscript + and - directly: ^+=⁺ and ^-=⁻. […] ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 22:26 MKIV fmt: 2011.5.27 int: english/english […] mkiv lua stats > math script replacements - U+0207A:⁺ U +0207B:⁻ (n=4) […] The following minimal example demonstrates the problem which is visible when ⁺ or ⁻ is used between `\{start,stop}align`. --- minimal example --- \starttext \placeformula \startformula a⁺ \quad b⁻ \stopformula \placeformula \startformula\startalign a⁺ \NC≠ \NC b⁻ \NR a^+ \NC≠ \NC b^- \NR \stopalign\stopformula It should work though $a⁺$ and $b⁻$. \stoptext --- minimal example --- Please find all files attached. Thanks, Paul [1] http://neo-layout.org/

Two graphics on the same page

13 Jun '11

Hi. I'm searching for a command that scales two ore more consecutive graphics in that way, that they all fit into one page (without pagebreak). I didn't found anything in the wiki, but I have to admit, that I didn't even know after which keywords I could have searched. Thanks, Yoraxe

How to typeset current year using \date command?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi, I was wondering whether it is possible to automatically typeset ONLY the current year using the \date command? From the reference manual I don't think it is possible! Maybe another trick is available! Thanks! Regards, Gerard Verhaag
