Can any of you help me? The final result should be as in [http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.1458] Thanks, Xan. PS: I hope this arrive...

(Open) Solaris & minimals
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Based on the following message: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Oracle-turns-its-back-on-OpenSolaris… ... is there still any interest for OpenSolaris support in minimals? (At the moment OpenSolaris binaries are supposed to work, even though most probably nobody uses them.) Mojca

Hi Jan, Indeed a demanding layout. --- As I see it, this will become a two step build: Create two documents containing the recto layout and the verso layout. 1st document made up with \setuparranging [2*4] 2nd document made up with \setuparranging[2UP] In the second step you can combine the two documents into one: \starttext \insertpages [sample1.pdf][width=0pt] \insertpages [sample2.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext Kind regards Willi Begin forwarded message: > Subject: [NTG-context] complicated layout - impostion > Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:00:29 +0200 > From: Jan Pohanka <xhpohanka(a)gmail.com> > Reply-To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> > To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> > > Hallo, > I need to create a document with complicated layout. > > four A6 pages on one side of A4 sheet (two upper ones with bottom up) > two A5 landscape pages on back side of A4 sheet (upper one with bottom up) > > How can I reach this in Context please? > \setuppapersize[A6][A4] > \setuparranging[2*4] > This code works fine for A6 pages, but I'm not sure how to include also A5 > landscape pages. > > Whole work should end with a document similar to > http://www.eprona.com/kdp/data/skladacka2010.pdf > > greetings Jan > > > -- > Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: > http://www.opera.com/mail/ > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context(a)ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________

Protrusion and expansion in simplefonts not working in latest beta?
by Vianney le Clément 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello, Protrusion and expansion seem to be not working anymore when using the simplefonts module in the latest betas. I used to write something like \usemodule[simplefonts][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setmainfont[Tex Gyre Bonum] but that doesn't give me any of the nice effects anymore. Has something changed in the interface to access those features? BTW, I would definitely love an option in simplefonts to take care of this whole setup at once. Something like \setupmodule[simplefonts][microtypography=yes] to take care of the first two lines of the previous example. Or at least imply \setupalign[hanging] when setting the protrusion parameter and similarly for the expansion parameter. Thanks, Vianney

PDF's generated by XeTeX and LuaTeX, font licensing
by John Magolske 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Reading through the license of a commercial font I'm interested in, I see it stipulated for PDF files created that: "... a reader or user cannot create new content using one of our fonts in a PDF application ... the complete font is not embedded" And in an email correspondence with the vendor: "We just ask that you subset the font when exporting the PDFs ..." Do PDF's generated by XeTeX and LuaTeX "subset the font" in this way? Regards, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact

How to use local setups in selected components of a project only
by Elias Oltmanns 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi all, it has been suggested on this list before, that people should use modes instead of \localenvironment and friends. Unfortunately, I don't seem to get either of them working as expected. Consider the following example: % project.tex \startproject project \environment environ \component compa \component compb \stopproject % environ.tex \startenvironment environ % global setups % ... \startmode[compa] \setuphead[section][number=no] \stopmode \stopenvironment % localenv.tex \startlocalenvironment [compa] \setuphead[section][number=no] \stoplocalenvironment % compa.tex \startcomponent compa %\enablemode[compa] \project project \localenvironment localenv \section{First section} Some text %\disablemode[compa] \stopcomponent % compb.tex \startcomponent compb \project project \section{Second section} More text \stopcomponent Compiling project.tex results in both sections being unnumbered. Compiling just compb.tex yields the expected result. Apparently, the setups of localenv stay in effect for all components processed subsequently. Commenting out \localenvironment and uncommenting \enablemode / \disablemode in compa.tex, however, does not solve the problem either: When I compile just compa.tex, everything works as expected. Compiling preject.tex, however, results in all sections being numbered. Obviously, the call to \enablemode comes too late. What is the recommended approach to such a problem? Do I have to undo local setups manually at the end of a component? Thanks in advance for any advice, Elias

\framed \placelist
by Andreas Harder 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi all, if I try to put \placelist in \framed an error (You can't use `\prevdepth' in restricted horizontal mode) occurs. \starttext \framed [background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] {\placelist[section]} \dorecurse{10}{\section{test #1} \input tufte } \stoptext So what is the way to put a background behind the list?

Trouble with customising section heads
by Elias Oltmanns 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi again, sorry for bothering you so persistently, but I really did try to hard to find a solution -- and failed: In the attempt to customise my section headings by means of \setuphead[section][...command=] I followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Figures_in_Headings#Figures_in_Headings . For the purposes of testing, I've installed a current minimals distribution. As it turns out, neither MkII nor MkIV processes the attached example as expected: MkII The table of contents is incomplete, even though the wiki says it shouldn't be; MkIV \currentheadnumber seems to be 0 all the time. There is a possibility, of course, that something is wrong with my setup of ConTeXt. But I just did another % ./first-setup.sh --context=current Thanks in advance for any hint, Elias %%%%%%%%%% \setuphead[section][textcommand=\Myhead,numbercommand=\Mynum] \def\Myhead#1{% Sect \currentheadnumber} \def\Mynum#1{} \starttext \completecontent \chapter{First chapter} \section{First section} Some text. \chapter{Second chapter} Introductory text. \section{First section} More text. \section{Second section} The end. \stoptext
