Two interline space setup troubles
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hello, I have some troubles with interline space setup. 1) I want whole document to have medium interline space. When I put \setupinterlinespace[medium] in the preample (before \starttext), it has no effect at all. I want keep all style definitions in a separate environment module, so how to make this setting 'global'? 2) The inbetween key does not work in the following command: \definestartstop[example][style={\tfx}, before={\blank[small]}, after={\blank[small]}, inbetween={\setupinterlinespace[big]}] I can write before={\blank[small]\setupinterlinespace[big]}, after={\setupinterlinespace[medium]\blank[small]} but in this way I hard-code document interlinespace (i.e., medium) in this definition, and this is not elegant solution at all. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Labelling with textext
by Troy Henderson 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

I'm trying to typeset a numerical label (in math mode) and have space for a - sign (but not actually typeset the -) after the number in the case where the number itself is negative. I am trying this label.bot(textext("$" & decimal(x) & "\hphantom{-}$"),(x*u,ay*u)); which fails. If I remove the \hphantom command, i.e., label.bot(textext("$" & decimal(x) & "$"),(x*u,ay*u)); the command is successful, but the number being labeled is not exactly horizontally centered below the point in question since the - symbol preceding the number pushes it a little to the right. Thoughts on how to achieve my desired \hphantom effect? Thanks, -- Troy Henderson Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University of Mobile http://www.tlhiv.org

tracking feature requests and bugs
by Peter Münster 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Dear ConTeXt developers, Does it make sense, to add the recent feature requests to the tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org/ ? It would be nice for ConTeXt users like me, to see the status of requests, perhaps also target dates, and to get automatic notifications when the status changes. But this is only possible, if you actually use the tracker. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Dear windows users, I'm in a hurry now (Carnival), but I have a tiny request: please don't update windows minimals until further notice (tonight in the evening, I suppose) since some libraries are missing. Mojca

framed text backgrounds in enumerations disappear in figuretexts
by Matthias Weber 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Dear all, I have set up enumerations with framed backgrounds, and when I place these into a figuretext, the frame+background disappear. The problem occurs both in mk2 and mk4. In mk4, you can also see the unexpected indent I mentioned in my previous email. Example below. Thanks, Matthias \setupbodyfont[12pt] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[rgb] \definecolor[defc] [r=.9,g=.9,b=.94] \definetextbackground [defbackground] [backgroundcolor=defc, corner=round, before=\blank, after=\blank, leftoffset=5pt, rightoffset=5pt, topoffset=5pt, bottomoffset=5pt, frame=on, framecolor=darkred, location=paragraph, color=darkred] \defineenumeration [blurb] [before={\starttextbackground[defbackground]}, after={\stoptextbackground}, text=Blurb, way=bysection, location=hanging, letter=rm] \starttext \startblurb This is working. \stopblurb \startfiguretext [right]{none}{\externalfigure[cow][width=2in]} \startblurb Where is my frame? \stopblurb \stopfiguretext \stoptext

Undesired indent in enumerations (mk4)
by Matthias Weber 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Dear all, when I have an enumeration with empty text (i.e. text={},), mk4 produces undesired indenting. mk2 works ok. Here a minimal example: \setupbodyfont [10pt] \defineenumeration [exercise] [before=\blank, after=\blank, way=bysection, text={}, start=1, location=hanging, letter=rm] \starttext \section{Addition} \startexercise $1+1=?$ \stopexercise \stoptext

Example markup
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hello, There are examples (usually one paragraph long) in my lecture text, and I want them to be typeset in smaller font (\tfx). An excerpt: The entities in question fall into two broad categories: {\em endogenous} (intrinsic to the SUI itself) and {\em exogenous} (belonging to a system's environment). \example{All processes that take place inside Earth (and other planets) are considered endogenous. These processes make the continents migrate, push the mountains up, trigger earthquakes and volcanism, and are driven by the warmth that is produced in the core of Earth.} More text... I hesitate about how to define \example. I know about \definedescription and \defineenumeration, but they seem not much logically suitable to me. What could you advise? Regards, Vyatcheslav

bib: authornum
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, sorry if this is yet another bib question: the "authornum" cite style is a recent addition. It doesn't accept all the setup functions that other styles (such as "authornum") do. The one thing I miss most ATM is the "andtext" option between a publication with several authors. It takes the form Author1,Author2 (just a comma, no space; this can be configured in authornum). I tried adapting the code in bibl-tra.mkiv l. 1506-1515, but failed miserably. Would it be possible to add the configurable andtext to authornum? Thanks, and best Thomas
