function ‘trace_context’ out of scope in mult-cld.lua
by Philipp Gesang 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi, the following code calls ‘trace_context()’ which is created only later on line 254. This is triggered if the first arg of ‘context()’ is of type ‘table’. ······ <example.cld> ············································ function test (str) context.starttext() context(str) context.stoptext() return 0 end t = {"a", "b"} return test(t) ····· </example.cld> ············································ Moving l. 254 to around l. 114 in mult-cld.lua fixes it for me.

Re: [NTG-context] Furigana [SOLVED]

Well, I resolved the ruby issue. After playing around with a minimal example, I noticed that \usemodule[tikz] was causing all the trouble when trying to load the environment. Not knowing what was wrong I've now updated to texlive '10 and everything works as expected, including tikz. Thank you for your patience.

Pound sign £ output as italic dollar sign [urgent]
by Elliot Clifton 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hello, I was just about to send my book to press when I noticed the '£' appears in my PDF as an italic dollar sign. I looked it up in the archive and google. Have tried \pound and \sterling -- nothing seems to work. It's very strange, when I output the chapter's product separately from the project the £ appears as expected. When I generate the project it appears as italic $. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2010.10.19 23:03 MKII fmt: 2010.10.20 int: english/english with TeXLive 2010 on MacOS X 10.6. And I have the following in my environment file: \language[en] \mainlanguage[en] \enableregime[utf-8] I'm using TeX Gyre fonts. Any ideas? TIA, Elliot

header setting
by Herbert Voss 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

in my example I have set the numbers in the margin. In fact of using the twoside layout I get the numbers only for odd pages in the margin. Is this also possible for the even pages, just like "header 1.2" instead of "1.2 header"?

Wolfgang: thanks for the tips, I'll try them out. Hans: Here is the example, which produced the output in my Thoughts document (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5718469/counters.pdf) \definetyping[cmds] \setuptyping[cmds][option=commands] \starttext \startcmds \def\MySectionCounter{P\currentcounter[part].C\currentcounter[chapter]-\currentcounter[section]} /stopcmds \stoptext which has inserted spaces before the opening square brackets and between e.g. \def and \MySectionCounter. -- Bela Mulder Group Leader Theory of Biomolecular matter FOM Institute AMOLF Science Park 104, 1098XG Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Tel: + 31 20 7547100 FAX: + 31 20 7547290 web: http://www.amolf.nl/research/theory_of_biomolecular_matter/

Thoughts about counters
by Bela Mulder 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Dear ConTeXtuals, Following up on my previous question regarding "Custom enumeration" (see ntg-context Digest, Vol 76, Issue 71), I penned down a few thoughts about counters. If you're interested take a look: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5718469/counters.pdf It's also my first ConTeXt document, so please bear with the amateurish formatting. I anyone can explain how to keep the annoying spurious spaces from cropping up in my verbatim typing environment with option=commands switched on, I would also be grateful. Thanks, in advance! -- Bela Mulder Group Leader Theory of Biomolecular matter FOM Institute AMOLF Science Park 104, 1098XG Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Tel: + 31 20 7547100 FAX: + 31 20 7547290 web: http://www.amolf.nl/research/theory_of_biomolecular_matter/

The myenvir.tex contains the line \usemodule[ruby] (and other fontfallbacks) which works fine in a simple file, but fails to be loaded in the component, yet I don't seem to be able to load it by pointing to either the project or the environment... The product and project files are, with the exception of name changes, copied almost straight from the documentation; all files compile fine if the three lines above are commented out. Thank you for your time & help =)
