Problem with large space after section header
by Jason Earl 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

I am having a bit of a problem with some documents that I am trying to lay out in Context. The idea is that section contents are formatted in two columns, but in some cases Context leaves a huge space between the section header and the content. I have included a sample context file (test.tex) and the output I get from running: context test.tex using the newest version of context minimals. I expect "1.2.1 Test SubSection 1" and "1.2.2 Test SubSection 2" to be on the same page as "Problem Header," but, as you can see, they aren't. I appreciate any help in sorting this out. I'm new to Context, and not particularly experienced in typesetting either, so if you have any other advice I would appreciate that too :). Thanks, Jason Earl

pre-fuzzy blank slides
by Pau 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Hello, I am using the pre-fuzzy style for a talk and I get (in principle) randomly blank slides. I thought that it could be due to the fact that I use \page whenever I finish a slide and that that could be conflicting with \Topic{} but removing all \page did not help. Has anybody had this problem and/or could you suggest a fix for it? I do not paste here the whole presentation because I do not want to spam the list. Thanks, Pau

PDF Meta Tags
by Bart C. Wise 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

I received the following message from a publisher: [The PDF generator] you used flattens the file such that is has no meta tags whatsoever. We need the tags that give page separations, page count, header info, etc. How do I get those meta tags enabled? Would setting \interaction[state=start] do what's needed? Running minimals-beta. Thanks, Bart

Page numbering in Adobe Reader
by Zhichu Chen 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi Hans and Taco, Some guy think it's cool to use romannumeral numbers in the preface and so is in the Adobe Reader. I searched the source but apparently it is not provided. I made a very dirty test file so could you make a switch in the \setupinteraction officially? My test file is like: ============================================== \pdfcompresslevel 0 \setupinteraction [state=start, focus=width, page=yes, openaction=firstpage, click＝no, title=TEST, author=Neals, subtitle=Test, keyword={test}] \setupcolors [state=start] \newcount\FrontPageNumbers \setupsubpagenumber[way=bytext,state=start] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \global\FrontPageNumbers=\pagenumber \global\advance\FrontPageNumbers\minusone \setuppagenumber[number=1] \resetsubpagenumber % \setupfootertexts[\the\FrontPageNumbers] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \resetsubpagenumber \stopsectionblockenvironment \def\PageLabels{\pdfcatalog{/PageLabels << /Nums [ 0 << /S /r >> \the\FrontPageNumbers << /S /D >> ] >> >>}} \prependtoks \PageLabels \to \everystoptext \starttext \startfrontmatter % \chapter{Table of Contents} \completecontent[interaction=all] \chapter{Preface} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} % \chapter{Preface} % \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} % \chapter{Preface} % \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Test} \dorecurse{15}{\input tufte\par} \chapter{TestAgain} \dorecurse{15}{\input ward\par} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter Index maybe. \stopbackmatter \stoptext ============================================== A lot of the code to setup the main layout is stolen from Wolfgang :) -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Hi, upon compiling s-pre-02 with TL2010 ConTeXt, I get the attached file which is very narrow and text gets cut off (at least when viewed in Evince). Is this a bug? -- Vedran Miletić

Is there a command or macro that converts a numeral to its English language equivalent? For example, I would like to display Thirteen for 13. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

The company that is printing my book requires format PDF/X-1a:2001. The file produced by LuaTex is PDF 1.5. I wonder if there will be a problem, and if so, how can I do the conversion to X-1a:2001? thank you Ciro

by Ciro 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Ok , I changed the subject: I just installed ConTeXt minimals, but my fonts are not found now: "define fonts > font with name Barnard-Oblique is not found" font files are there, but some how context can't see them. I ran "context --generate" and got lines like this: MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-fonts' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-local' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-linux' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-context and also ran "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" and got lines like this: MTXrun | fontnames: scanning /home/ciro/context/tex/texmf for AFM files MTXrun | fontnames: 3323 entries found, 0 AFM files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.ttf MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix TTF MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.TTF MTXrun | fontnames: 639 system files identified, 39 skipped, 39 duplicates, 600 hash entries added My fonts are in $HOME/.fonts (lunix/ubuntu) I don't use typescripts. I use \definefontsynonym [baob] [file:Barnard-Oblique] [features=default] what should I do? thank you Ciro
