Dear Lutz, After replacing "blblogo.pdf" with a figure file in my system and tested it. Otherwise, it shows a gray rectangle. I got no error and the output is fine.( "Test" and the figure are well shown) I don't know "rev 4090" but here is the version of ConTeXt minimal in my system. ... This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.65.0-2010121316 \write18 enabled. (testmp.tex ConTeXt ver: 2011.02.25 22:03 MKIV fmt: 2011.3.1 int: english/english ... Since I don't know deep inside ConTeXt, I can't tell you a solution. Sorry. Setup in your system may be different from mine. Cheers. Dalyoung

\setuphead[ownnumber=yes]; disabling parental numbers
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Hello, what exactly should the "ownnumber=yes|no" option do in \setuphead? The following code crashes Ctx: --- %\setuphead[subsection][number=no] % OK \setuphead[subsection][ownnumber=yes] % ERROR \starttext \chapter{Ch1} \section{Sec1} \subsection{SSec1} \stoptext --- Is it possible to disable parental numbers? - To get sequence like this: A. ChapterA B. ChapterB B.1 Section1 B.2 Section2 1 Subsection1 (no parental numbers here [= B.2], only those of subsection) 2 Subsection2 I tried: \setuphead[subsection,subsubject][number=no,ownnumber=yes] hoping this should do the job but it didn't; at least problem with "ownnumber=yes". Any idea? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

The following code seems to ignore both justification (to the extent that a mono-spaced font could be justified) and the right margin. I recall seeing something that deals with this problem somewhere but can't recall where. \starttext \tt Janet had gone away to get the bath ready, when my aunt, to my great alarm, became in one moment rigid with indignation, and had hardly voice to cry out, {\quotation Janet! Donkeys!} Upon which, Janet came running up the stairs as if the house were in flames, darted out on a little piece of green in front, and warned off two saddle-donkeys, lady-ridden, that had presumed to set hoof upon it; while my aunt, rushing out of the house, seized the bridle of a third animal laden with a bestriding child, turned him, led him forth from those sacred precincts, and boxed the ears of the unlucky urchin in attendance who had dared to profane that hallowed ground. \rm \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com

lines tightly fitting together
by Hans van der Meer 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Silly perhaps, but I am stuck with something that shouldn't be difficult to solve. I want to fill lines with small blocks (\vrule's just 0.2 mm high) and then fit the indivdual lines as tight together as is possible. Trying \setupinterlinespace[height=0.2,depth=0] did not help and the kludge \switchtobodyfont[0.1pt] does has the spirit of ConTeXt ;-) Anybody out there knowing how to do it? Hans van der Meer

I don't know whether that still works in ConTeXt, but try \interlinepenalty=10000 > What would also be acceptable is when there are at least five lines on the page.

"Fonts in ConTeXt" is now available from boekplan.com
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

After some delays, thankfully the book "Fonts in ConTeXt" is now finally available for immediate ordering. "Fonts in ConTeXt" describes how to define and use fonts in ConTeXt MkIV. In this book, for the first time all existing documentation related to fonts has been combined into a single document. In 128 pages, the reader is guided through everything there is to know about fonts in ConTeXt MkIV. The earlier chapters deal with the theory behind the font subsystem of ConTeXt and explain how to use the font switching macros. The later chapters deal with defining fonts, for both single (symbolic) fonts and complete typescripts for font families. Finally, there are chapters on extending the ConTeXT font system and font installation. "Fonts in ConTeXt" costs 19 euro + p&p, and can be ordered from http://www.boekplan.com/ Hans and I have decided that there will not be a free PDF version; ordering a hardcopy is the only way to get this book. Please note that besides receiving a useful book, you will also be sponsoring ConTeXt development by doing so! Taco Hoekwater (also for Hans Hagen)

No hypenation on words like e-book
by Cecil Westerhof 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I am trying to make an e-book with ConTeXt. The word e-book is used in this e-book. ;-} Sometimes e- comes on the end of the line and book at the beginning of the next. Is there a way to circumvent this? I could ofcourse change all occurences with \hbox{e-book} (and the same for e-mail, ...), but I was hoping there is a better solution. -- Cecil Westerhof

playing colors
by Hans van der Meer 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Started for myself some learning on colors in ConTeXt. In the manual there is a nice colorpalette shown (section 6, page 141). However, I cannot reproduce this. The following minimal example shows colored texts, but \showcolor[color-name] just produces black boxes with ominous zeroes behind it. What am I missing here? The wiki didn't procure more information then the manual. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \switchtobodyfont[20pt] \starttext \color[red]{hello} \quad \color[green]{hello} \quad \color[cyan]{hello} \quad \showcolor[red] \showcolor[green] \showcolor[cyan] \stoptext
