Marginal heads and non-text sections

I'm having trouble understanding space inserted around itemize and TABLE objects. I found some great advice from the mailing list archives, and managed to cobble together a setup that *almost* works. Now I have only two problems. I welcome any help. First: In the example below, the word "monkey" creates no vertical space---even if it's commented out, there's no change in the space between "Title" and "alpha". I'd like to tighten that space up---I've been resorting to \vskip{-10ex}, but surely there's a way to not put that space there in the first place. I'm already using packed,intro,joinedup for the itemize in an attempt to shove it as high as possible; is there another way? Second: in the same example, the "Second" subject does not appear. Uncommenting the llama doesn't make any surprising difference (well, it moves the table down, showing that tables don't have the space-filling property of itemizes), but uncommenting the apricot does cause the "Second" subject to appear. How can I force the "Second" subject to appear next to the table? Thank you for any help. \setuphead[subject][alternative=text,distance=0pt,command=\MyHead] \setupinmargin[style=\setupinterlinespace] \def\MyHead#1#2{\margintitle[low]{\rotate{#1 #2}}} \setupitemize[packed,intro,joinedup,KR] \starttext \title{Title} \subject{First} monkey \startitemize[columns] \item alpha \item beta \item gamma \stopitemize \subject{Second} %llama \bTABLE \bTR \bTD One \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext -- Brian Sniffen http://evenmere.org/~bts/ <bts(a)evenmere.org>

Hi list, I updated my TeXLive 2010 (MacTeX) installation using the TLContrib repository. Now I get the following error message when I use "context --version". MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: skipping configuration file '/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmfcnf.lua' MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-base.lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua' Any ideas?

autopunctuations and subscripts

Hi, It seems that autopunctuation=no does not affect the spacing in subscripts. Bug or feature? \setupbodyfont[xits] %(also with cambria) \starttext \startformula \min_{(f,g)} (f,g) \stopformula \setupmathematics[autopunctuation=no] \startformula \min_{(f,g)} (f,g) \stopformula \stoptext Aditya

beta
by Hans Hagen 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Hi, I uploaded a beta. This weeks undocumented feature: \starttext test \placefigure{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:alpha][whatever]{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:beta] [whatever]{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:gamma][whatever]{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:delta][whatever]{}{} test \placefigure{}{} in \in{figure}[whatever] bla bla \placenamedfloat[figure][*l*] \placenamedfloat[figure][gamma] \placenamedfloat[figure][beta] \stoptext Experimental of course. Alan and I are discussing up some more clever mechanisms (follow up on conference chats) but this will probably stay.

missing newline in when mtxrun exits with error
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Dear all, This is a very minor gripe, but when mtxrun reports an error it doesn't seem to print a final newline. At least with my bash setup, this confuses the command-line editing feature, which I use a lot. ... some TeX error happened ... ? q OK, entering \batchmode MTXrun | fatal error: return code: 1% Platform is Mac OS X 10.6, latest minimals.

Error message wrong when \component is used
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Dear all, I find that when there is an error (at least, "undefined control sequence") in a file included using \component, the supposedly erroneous lines printed are from the calling file, not the file where the error actually is (although the line number seems correct, and there are clues where the error really lies). Minimal example ... file1.tex: \startproduct file1 \starttext Bla bla bla. Bla bla bla. Bla bla bla. \component file2 \stoptext \stopproduct file2.tex: \startcomponent file2 Bleh bleh bleh. Bleh bleh bleh. Bleh bleh bleh. \zorg \stopcomponent When I run "context file1" I get an error: ... ConTeXt ver: 2010.10.12 01:03 MKIV fmt: 2010.10.12 int: english/english ... systems : begin file file1 at line 1 systems : begin file file2 at line 6 (file2.tex ! Undefined control sequence. system > error on line 5 in file file1.tex: Undefined control sequence ... 1 \startproduct file1 2 \starttext 3 Bla bla bla. 4 Bla bla bla. 5 >> Bla bla bla. 6 \component file2 7 \stoptext 8 \stopproduct l.5 \zorg If I replace \component with \input in file1.tex, all works correctly and the error ("\zorg") is correctly pointed out. Best, Robin

"Page-breakable" \subsubsubject?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Hello, I'd have one more question. I need to have many \subsubject behind each other (again: actually processing an external file, but a small example is attached): --- \setupbodyfont[11pt] \starttext \subsubsubject{001} \subsubsubject{002} \subsubsubject{003} \subsubsubject{004} \subsubsubject{005} \subsubsubject{006} \subsubsubject{007} \subsubsubject{008} \subsubsubject{009} \subsubsubject{010} \subsubsubject{011} \subsubsubject{012} \subsubsubject{013} \subsubsubject{014} \subsubsubject{015} \subsubsubject{016} \subsubsubject{017} \subsubsubject{018} \subsubsubject{019} \subsubsubject{020} \subsubsubject{021} % Last visible on the page \subsubsubject{022} \subsubsubject{023} \subsubsubject{024} \subsubsubject{025} \subsubsubject{026} \stoptext --- The problem is that typesetting n-th \subsubject doesn't go to the next page, but is typeset on the same page, so that the last ones disappear. So how to setup (?) \subsubject to allow page breaks inside them? (Wiki did not prompt.) Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.
