Modes in MkIV minimals (bug?)
by Matija Šuklje 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hullo, I'm working on my thesis (and it's "pf_ul" styling[1]) and I tried to include modes. The thing is that modes seem to be set right and work when invoked in CLI (e.g. 'context --mode=osnutek,zaslon diplomska.tex', but ConteXt seems to completely igonore lines in text such as: \enablemode[osnutek] Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm using minimals: MTXrun | current version: 2010.06.18 11:26 Cheers, Matija P.S. Is ConTeXt (mkIV) in TexLive 2010 deemed as stable and usable? -.-.- [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Law_Faculty_University_of_Ljubljana_Styling_a… -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suklje(a)gabbler.org

A bit weird \underbar behaviour (MkIV only)
by Vedran Miletić 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

The code \usemodule[units] \starttext $y = \underbar{20 \Mega\Bit\Per\Second}$. \stoptext produces space before y and it and y get underbared. MkII produces an expected result. On the other hand, in \starttext $y = \underbar{g a w}$. \stoptext underbar doesn't appear (other letter combinations I tried seem to work). MkII can't compile this and ends with ! Incompatible list can't be unboxed. -- Vedran Miletić

\startMPrun ... \stopMPrun

Is it possible to run this also under mkiv? Example is from the meafun manual. \startMPrun input Grafik.mp; \stopMPrun \externalfigure[Grafik.1] \stoptext Herbert

line justification alignment.
by seasoul 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Is there a way to justify the line? I mean no word hyphenation, and words are justified like in office word. My boss is quite angry to see hyphenations at the end of lines in my file. What a hell.

metafun
by Hans Hagen 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

Hi, At the context conference Taco presented a new initiative with respect to manuals. For those who cannot (or don't want to) print and bind at home we offer a printing on demand service. This week we send out the first copies of the (new) metafun manual: http://www.boekplan.nl/node/9 More will follow. We hope that this will (partially) answer the need for manuals. We still have to find out which manuals (also new ones) should become available as it takes a bit of effort to keep this flow running and to turn manuals in some book-like form, so best keep an eye on the site if you're interested.

MAPS journal module oddities
by John Haltiwanger 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

The first strange thing that I notice is that the subtitle is set in a much more prominent style than the title. This seems backwards to me. The second concern is that the numbers for footnotes (but not the notes themselves, thankfully) appear outside of where they should (which is in the Notes section, with \plcefootnotes). Adding \setupfootnotes[text] to the template I found on the wiki ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules/Maps ) did not seem to have an effect. \usemodule[maps] \setupfootnotes[text] \starttext \startArticle [ Title=<+ Title of the article +>, SubTitle=<+ Optional subtitle +>, Number=<+ MAP Number +>, Period=<+ MAP Period +>, Author=<+ Author plus contact details +>, RunningAuthor=<+ Author name to appear in the header +> ] % The Author parameter doesn't require any particular structure. % Add a RunningAuthor parameter if the Author parameter is too % elaborate or complex for use in a page header. \startAbstract <+ Write Article Abstract +> \stopAbstract \startKeywords <+ Write Article Keywords +> \stopKeywords Any simple footnote adds its number twice.\note[here] As you can see it happens again\note[there] \footnote[here]{Right?} \footnote[there]{ :( } % MAPS places footnotes at the end of the article \subject{Note} \placefootnotes \stopArticle \stoptext

frameoffset by direction
by Philipp Gesang 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

Hi again, is there a way to specify the frame offset of ‘\framed’ for vertical and horizontal orientations separately? Consider this example: ···8<···························································· \starttext \framed[frameoffset=1em,width=5cm,height=5.5cm,align=lohi]{\input ward } \stoptext ···8<···························································· I’d be fine without the vertical offset, only left and right are essential. Somehow I’m having trouble applying the glue inside ‘\framed’ myself. Thanks for any help, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

metapost -- mplib
by Herbert Voss 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

When I run this example with mpost amd mptopdf, everything is fine. But running it with context mkiv, using its mplib I get an error. The problematic command is dotlabels.top(0,1,2,3,4,5,6); Commented it out, then it works with context, too.
