interstrutline spacing
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Dear gang, I am trying to create a grid background based on strut depth, so each line of text lies right in between the top and bottom of the respective strut. I borrowed some code from the wiki, and need help to solve the following [and I'm no metapost guru...]: 1. Line 31, 2nd line of pdf: How can I keep \framed[align={r2l,middle}] and get the interstrutline to still span the textwidth. In other words, every strutline should be of textwidth, regardless of alignment 2. Compare pages 2 and 3: page 2 has extra space at the top, perhaps a skipped line. How can I suppress that so that the first line always starts at the top of the textblock? 3. On page 3: How can I control the continuation of the strutlines past the final textline? What if, eg, I wanted to fill the rest of the page with strutlines? 4. How can I change the width and color of the strutline itself? 5. I use \setuplayout[grid=on], but I'm not sure that guarantees a grid ... \start-\stoplinecorrection seems to give a different result. [\showgrid seems broken so I can't directly compare]. Any tips to guarantee a grid? 6. Is there a way to pass the interstrutline background to \framed [so I don't have to type \start-\stopinterstrutline etc]? This kind of gridded background is very common in eg, the Arabic-script tradition, although it has many pedagogical and other uses as well. A general strutline mechanism might make a good addition to the distribution, or at least a nice module... Any help or tips to improve this background will be greatly appreciated!

Figure referencing problems
by Wolfgang Miurth 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi, I have troubles with referencing images. At first \in does not show a figure number but \at shows the correct page of the figure. In the archives I found a post from Wolfgang Schuster [1] with a sample that worked for him. I tried this, but there is no figure number visible in my document. %========================== \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{circle} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm; \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure [] [fig:ref] {Text} {\useMPgraphic{circle}} \in{figure}[fig:ref] \stoptext %========================== How can I fix that? Further \about{figure}[fig:ref] brings an error "Use of \about doesn't match its definition.". I used the syntax from the manual on page 205. How can I use the caption of a figure in an reference? My last question is how I can remove the color of links to references in a document. I am using MkIV 2009.08.30 12:25. Thanks for your help Wolfgang Murth [1] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/025653.html

Hi Hans, there's a problem with today's beta: at every run I get this error: Attempt to allocate memory failed. fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix otfMTXrun | fatal error, no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted even when I call something like this: mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="times*" MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix otf Attempt to allocate memory failed. zsh: abort mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="times*" This is on OS X intel, if this matters. All best Thomas

titlepage without page number
by Arno Trautmann 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi! I guess this is a faq, but I didn’t find a way to do it … I want to use pagenumbers in the headings, but no pagenumber on the title page. I try it with: \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{header left}][pagenumber][pagenumber][\setups{header right}] \setupfooter[][] \startsetups[header right] \hfill \getmarking[chapter] \stopsetups \startsetups[header left] \getmarking[section] \hfill \stopsetups which gives me the headers I want. (Although I don’t understand why I have to specify the pagenumber two times) But on the titlepage, there is still a number, when I use it with the title module and say: \setuptitle[ page=no, title=…, header=empty, footer=empty ] \startfrontmatter \placetitle \stopfrontmatter I guess, I’m doing somthing wrong, but I cannot figure out what. And btw: Is there a possibility to just print the pagenumber? Hope I made the problem clear, cheers Arno

How to disable the hypernation in verbatim environment
by Joshua Lee 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi All, The hypernation in verbatim environment will break the keywords of the input source code, for example, it break the C language statement. I googling the wiki of ConTeXt site and find that http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Verbatim_with_line_breaks#Why_German_is_a_rel… demonstrate the usage. But it does not works now, attached files are the sample and output. Thanks in advance. BR/JL Joshua
