urgent bottom line problem (thin paper)
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Hi, before getting the train to Praha there is an urgent last problem to be solved: The bottom line of body text and footnote text need to be absolutely at the same height (due to a very thin paper used)! I tried to fine-tune the height of layout by 1pt up-and-down, but the difference stays: at least 1mm. Is there a "...skip" that's needs to be adjusted? (using grid mode is a no-go!) Help please!!

Hi all, how can I change a section's conversion (eg. for use in headertext). See minimal example below, please. Steffen === \starttext \chapter{Test} \headnumber[chapter]% now we have numbers % And just now we want to show the same as Characters not numbers: %\convertnumber{\Characters}{\countervalue{@@sesection-2}}% <- gives error %\Characters{\headnumber[chapter]}% <- gives error \stoptext

stray characters in output before bibliography
by Johann P.S. Dahm 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt (from LaTeX). I'm trying it out for a course paper that I need to write and running into a problem with the output pdf. With respect to the code below, when I compile it, I get the odd text "pubs]References" under the "References" section heading. I've looked around, but I can't find anyone having a similar problem. Is this caused by something I'm doing incorrectly in the ConTeXt code or is it something wrong with the bib module? For reference: I'm using MacTeX 2010 (up-to-date) on OSX10.6. --------------- \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=sources,sort=author, numbering=yes] \starttext \cite[something] some text. \section{References} \completepublications \stoptext --------------- Output looks like: (Something, Somedate) some text. 1 References pubs]References 1 "Title of the book", publisher, etc........ --------------- Thanks for any help, - Johann

Units fonts and spacing
by Vedran Miletić 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hello, can m-units be made to adjust it's font style to local font? For example \usemodule[units] \starttext \ss 1 \Bit\Per\Second \stoptext will still use serif font for units. Also, can m-units be set up to use spacing like 1\,\Bit\Per\Second instead of normal spacing? I saw there are some definitions for that in m-units.tex, but haven't found a way to activate them. Thanks, -- Vedran Miletić

natural tables -- split 'n grid
by Philipp Gesang 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hi, line correction leads to unwanted vertical spacing in split natural tables. Example (in both MkII and MkIV): ··8<····························································· %\setuplayout[grid=yes] % not required to reproduce it \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\par} \startlinecorrection % fine without line correction \bTABLE[split=yes] % fine with split=no \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH p\eTH\bTH q\eTH\bTH p or q\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTC False\eTC\bTC False\eTC\bTC False\eTC\eTR \bTR\bTC True\eTC\bTC False\eTC\bTC True\eTC\eTR \bTR\bTC False\eTC\bTC True\eTC\bTC True\eTC\eTR \bTR\bTC True\eTC\bTC True\eTC\bTC True\eTC\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoplinecorrection \stoptext ··8<····························································· What am I missing here? Is line correction even recommended for use with tables? Why isn't it ignored if grid typesetting is switched off?

beta
by Hans Hagen 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hi, I uploaded a beta. There have been some changes in the initial font loading code (mostly an experiment and hopefully compatible). The default load->cache method is unchanged (and tagged table') but you can configure others (given tat you run luatex 0.63) There are three optional levels of intermediate garbage collection: \enabledirectives[fonts.otf.loader.cleanup=1] % true|false 1 2 3 The higher the number, the less memory is used (I'm preparing a chapter for hybrid.pdf that discusses these methods and gives some statistics). By default cleanup is turned off. Garbage collection efficiency differs per situation and is somewhat platform dependent. There are three methods but only table and sparse make sense: \enabledirectives[fonts.otf.loader.method=table] \enabledirectives[fonts.otf.loader.method=mixed] \enabledirectives[fonts.otf.loader.method=sparse] In some cases sparse might save a bit of memory but at the cost of runtime and even then it only concerns making a font cache-ready so in practice it is seldom needed to change the defaults. Only mess around with these directives if you are convinced that it will improve your situation. As said, these are the results of an experiment so we keep them around. If no serious problems are found in the beta I will release a current, so that we're nicely in sync with todays luatex beta.
