Have you tried formatting it this way: \startsection [title={my fancy section}] bla \stopsection Breaking before closing or after opening the square braces has always given trouble to me.

PDF-Toc text is wrong for new \start… commands
by Steffen Kram 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi all, I just converted my thesis from the old \chapter format to the new \startchapter … commands, to be more flexible when defining the titles for toc etc. If you're just giving a title, e.g. \startsection[ title={my fancy section} ] bla \stopsection then the title is correctly displayed within the document. Nevertheless, it ends up enclosed in curly braces in the PDF-Toc. My current workaround, if I put a comma after the title \startsection[ title={my fancy section}, ] it looks fine. Guess this is bug, not expected behavior. Cheers, Steffen

counter in linenote disables hyphenation in body text
by Pablo Rodríguez 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Dear list, in the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \newcounter\LineNote \setupnote[linenote][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[linenote][alternative=serried] \define[2]\Variant {\increment\LineNote \startlinenote[LineNote:\LineNote]{#1 #2} #1% \stoplinenote[LineNote:\LineNote]} \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{10}{\Variant{not original}{variant} \Variant{origin}{variants} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext I have realized that hyphenation is disabled in body text when \increment\LineNote is used in the \Variant command definition. I don’t know whether this is a bug, but I don’t know how to workaround it either. Does anyone how to get the body text hyphenated with this command? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Colored horizontal line

Hello there, after long time I have a question again :) I use \setupheader[text][after=\hrule] to get a horizontal line below the header. How can I color this line? The direct attempt \color[r=0.4,g=0.4,b=0.4]{\hrule} fails. Thank you. Huseyin

Chapter-Names and Section-Names in Header don't work as expected
by Thomas Friedrich 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hello, I would like to put the \chapter and \section names, including their respected numbers, in the header of my document, in small script and separated from the main text by a horizontal line, the width of \textwidth. On uneven pages the chapter-names, on even pages the section names. Reading the manual (4.16 Headers and Footers), I thought this should work: \setuppagenumbering[start=start,alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheader[][style=small,after=\hrule] \setupheadertexts[section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] Problems: 1) the mark "chapter" does not work. The section title appears but not the chapter title. 2) The chapter-number and the section-number don't appear in the header. 3) \hrule draws a line from the very left to the very right of the page. My Questions: i) What is the "mark-mechanism" that is mentioned in the manual (couldn't find any information about that). ii) Why does chapter not work? iii) \hrule is probably not the best command here? I found the following somewhere in the web: \setupheadertexts[{\tfx\fetchmark[section][first]}][][][{\tfx\fetchmark[chapter][current]}] which gives me indeed the chapter-name. Why "current" instead of "first"? What do I have to add to get the numbers? Thank you for your help! Thomas PS. I am using mkii, I belive, (texexec ...)

[***SPAM***] Shifting table header when using overlay
by Dmitriy Tokarev 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi All, I'm trying to get a table header with such bottom border: |============| I plan to use an overlay to overlap the the internal borders of the cells. But in this case, the table header somehow slightly shifted to the left relative to the body (see attachment). Is it possible to remove this effect? Or maybe there is another way to achieve the desired border? Thanks. \startuseMPgraphic{MP:thickBtm} draw (0,2pt)--(OverlayWidth,2pt) withpen pensquare scaled 1pt withcolor red; clip currentpicture to OverlayBox; setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[OL:thickBtm][\useMPgraphic{MP:thickBtm}] \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[align=middle] \setupTABLE[header][background={foreground,OL:thickBtm}] % \bTABLEhead\bTR\dorecurse{3}{\bTH#1\eTH}\eTR\eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody\dorecurse{6}{\bTR\dorecurse{3}{\bTD#1-##1\eTD}\eTR}\eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext -- Dmitriy

keeping headings with following texts
by Pablo Rodríguez 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Dear list, writing an article on ConTeXt, I have found what I think is a surprising feature (at least, a surprising default): headings don’t always keep with next paragraph, so they can end up in being widowed (heading + page break + first paragraph on next page). Sorry, but I’m afraid that I don’t understand this default. I have never seen a printed book that displays this behavior (unless the heading was alone on its page). Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m more than happy with ConTeXt. But would anyone be so kind to explain the reason of the described default? (I’m trying to understand, so I can explain to others.) I have found on the list (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/023357.html) the way to avoid this: \setuphead[section][before={\page[bigpreference]}] How can I know which is the exact default value in any given command? (I need to know the before values for headings, at least.) Is there a way to enable the “keep with next” option for all headings? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Different font variants (normal <> condensed, light <> regular <> bold, etc.)

linenumbering in columnsets (or different solution?)
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Hi, I want a document with two columns; left column is poetry, so I want the lines to be numbered. Unfortunately, linenumbering doesn't appear to work in columns(ets), so my next attempt was to produce a third, very narrow column which displays the line numbers. However, columnsets with different columns is not implemented in mkiv, AFAICS.

Chapter number in list colored (setuplist)
by Zenlima 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, I want to color the chapter number in the table of content. The attribute "numbercolor" does not exist in setuplist. So I tried to color the chapter number via "numberstlye" ("numbercommand" is also not working): ---8<---------------------------- \define[1]\listChapterColor{\color[bordeaux]{X #1}} \setuplist[chapter][color=black,numberstyle=\listChapterColor] ----8<------------------------------ The X appears in the new color (bordeaux), but the chapter number is still uncolored - same color like rest of that line (black). What am I doing wrong here? H.

[util-jsn] incorrect handling of escapes
by Philipp Gesang 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, the JSON parser handles backslash escapes improperly. Example: local data = [[ { "escapes" : "(\")(\\)(\b)(\f)(\n)(\r)(\t)", "invalid" : "\'\v" } ]] local stuff = utilities.json.tolua (data) inspect(stuff) Currently it chokes on double quotes and treats the other escapes like Lua. Fix suggestion attached. Best regards, Philipp

First and last section of current chapter
by Marco Patzer 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, how to display the first and last section name at the beginning of each chapter? I'm a little clueless which mechanism to use. A local table of contents displays all sections. Marks maybe? Although I have no idea how to achieve that with marks. Sure, I could manually reference the sections and use \about, but this is error prone especially for the last section/chapter. Example: \starttext First chapter: %% Foo Last chapter: %% Bar \startchapter [title=Foo] First section: %% Alpha Last section: %% Gamma \section{Alpha} \input knuth \page \section{Beta} \input knuth \page \section{Gamma} \input knuth \page \stopchapter \startchapter [title=Bar] First section: %% Monday Last section: %% Wednesday \section{Monday} \input knuth \page \section{Tuesday} \input knuth \page \section{Wednesday} \input knuth \page \stopchapter \stoptext Marco

Wrong markings

Hi, in the following example the markings are wrong. \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[section][both]}] [{\getmarking[section][first]\space\emdash\space \getmarking[section][last]}] \starttext \def\aa#1{\section{#1}\input knuth} \processcommacommand [A, B, C, D, E] \aa \stoptext I expect the markings on the left and right to be the same and show A–C on the first page and D–E on the second one.

bar graphs, m-graph, sarith
by John Kitzmiller 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

When trying to make a bar graph with m-graph.mkiv and sarith, the command Ssub (string subtract) seems to Sadd instead. An mwe of a bar graph: (data1 is a separate file containing 01 02 02 03) \usemodule[m-graph] \startMPpage[instance=graph] input sarith; draw begingraph(5cm,5cm); gdata("data1", v, path p; augment.p(v1,0); augment.p(v1,v2) augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",0); gfill p--cycle withcolor .8white; gdraw p--cycle; ); endgraph; \stopMPpage ...which gives bars of width 0.4 starting at abscissa 1 and 2 as expected. To increase the width of the bars to 0.8 and have them centered over 1 and 2, I expect to Ssub from the first two augments: \usemodule[m-graph] \startMPpage[instance=graph] input sarith; draw begingraph(5cm,5cm); gdata("data1", v, path p; augment.p(v1 Ssub "0.4",0); augment.p(v1 Ssub "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",0); gfill p--cycle withcolor .8white; gdraw p--cycle; ); endgraph; \stopMPpage However, the Ssub adds instead and gives a line at 1.4 and 2.4. Compiling the above with mpost or mptopdf gives the desired result(s), but I am curious if this can be resolved so such bar graphs could be made within ConTeXT/METAFUN. Thanks! John

Also is there a more elegant way to get the footnote aligned under the table to the left side. I am using narrower to force it to postion. This doesn't show up right in the minimal, but it works.

relative references?
by Steffen Kram 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

Hello, is it possible to reference parts of a document in a "relative" style? My structure is as follows: \startproduct … \startbodymatter \component chapterFoo/main \component chapterBar/main \stopbodymatter … \stopproduct Each of my chapters uses \chapter, \section … \subsubsubsection markers. I would like to use references for each of them. Is it possible to reference for example the subsection "Foo AA" from the chapter start with an relative reference such as \chapter[sec:foo]{Foo} \in[fooA:fooAA] \section[fooA]{Foo A} \subsection[fooAA]{Foo AA} but when referencing it from the second chapter use a absolute reference: \chapter[sec:bar]{Bar} \in[sec:foo:fooA:fooAA] … Is this possible? Or must I use absolute references and identifiers everywhere? Cheers, Steffen

Placing figures with text wrap causes page break

I've searched through the ContextGarden documentation and tried Googling this issue, but I must not be hitting the right keywords. Sorry if this has already been answered.

nasty crash
by Meer, H. van der 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

A nasty crash occurs with no helpful output in the log. It seems likely to arise from a complicated hbox, because the log ends abruptly in: \hbox(80.33+74.07002)x426.78 The output on the console isn't helpful either, I merely get: pages > flushing realpage 12, userpage 8 mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted This log message isn't closed with a newline. Of course I tried to construct a minimal example, but did not succeed. When I isolate the page where the execution crashes then no error occurs. It might be something in ConTeXt, but also something in luatex. Any idea how I can collect more information for trying to pinpoint the problem? Hans van der Meer

Command line options (copied form the manual): " Command Line option The PDF-XChange Viewer may be started with a PDF file or URL name as the first item on the command line. This facilitates starting the Viewer in File Associations or using Windows ShellExecute.

Cloze Text (text with gaps)

Hi list I wonder if I can typeset a cloze text using context. The gaps (__________) must have a given length (say in cm or the length of a given word, given sentence) and must break at the end of a line. \hl[4] is nice but won't do the trick since it won't break. \fillinline and others fill the hole line, but I only want to fill a given size. Are there some ideas how to deal with it? Example: The name of the _____________ is _____ ________. And now it's time to go to bed. Some more text..... Hope you get the point.

Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview
by Keith J. Schultz 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi All, I have been following this thread with some amusement. There is no real optimal answer to this question short of developing a dedicated pdfviewer for ConTeXt. But, is this the best use of our resources. Furthermore, how about a dedicated editor? ;-)) (just joking, but I am sure somebody would come with the idea eventually, once we start down this path) As a Mac user, and one that shys away from using X. I use TeXShop. TeXShop has a multiplatform counterpart TeXWorks, distributed with TeXLive. It has a integrated pdf viewer with SyncTeX functionality. Its pdf viewer is based on Poppler. How good it is I can not say. But, it should not be two hard to extract it and turn it into a standalone. I think it could work as an adequate viewer. If someone then needs to use something better they can write the scripts they need themselves. Maybe, the TeXWorks guys could help. regards Keith

how to use \dimexpr and fractional values
by Thomas A. Schmitz 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi all, long story short: I want to calculate a width or height from user input, which is in the form "0.x" (as in "0.3\textwidth") since I want to use that number differently in different circumstances. Problem is that \dimexpr doesn't like decimal values. Example (uncomment second \externalfigure to see the problem): \starttext \def\myfactor{0.3} \externalfigure[mill][height=\myfactor\textwidth] %\externalfigure[mill][height=\dimexpr10cm*\myfactor\relax] \stoptext (silly, but shows my problem). How can I obtain an image of height "0.3*10cm" from my \myfactor macro? I tried to get my head around \numexpr etc. in the etex manual, but couldn't really figure out what to do. Thanks, and all best Thomas

When re-reading the cache file the values lose all leading zeros, so they are no longer well-formed UTF-16BE. ... ["tounicode"]={ [2329]="E001", ... [2384]="0063006B", -- <-- correct [2385]=00630068, -- <-- invalid [2386]=00740074, [2387]=00630074, [2388]="017F0069", ...

Overriding pdfview
by Bill Meahan 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

How does one override the default pdf viewer for MKIV Standalone on Windows 7-64 so --autopdf starts Acrobat Reader instead of "sumatrapdf.exe"? I don't have "sumatra" and do not wish to install it just to satisfy this one application. WTH is it anyway? (I know what it is, it's a rhetorical question). Making some obscure pdf viewer the default with no clear way to change it is not a good idea. For Windows, the vast majority of people have Acrobat Reader which is very often preinstalled. For Linux, it's less clear what the default should be but {xpdf |evince|acroread} are quite common. Can't speak to OSX as I've never used it but I'd bet a coffee Acrobat Reader is (or can be) there, too. I have searched through the source and tried editing l-pdf.lua but that doesn't seem to fix the problem. I shouldn't have to edit system source in any event. Mark me frustrated. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan "The nice thing about standards is there are so many of them." -- Henry Spencer

wrong space when compressseparator is empty
by Pablo Rodríguez 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Dear Hans, I have the following sample: \showstruts \setupnote[linenote][paragraph=yes, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[linenote][alternative=serried, compress=yes, compressseparator=, distance=1em] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{500}{text\linenote{variant} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext that shows the following issue: when compressseparator is set to none, ConTeXt doesn’t suppress the distance that comes after the separator at the beginning of the line. As a general rule, I think it would make sense to always suppress distance after separator when the separator isn’t set (not only at the beginning of the line). This wouldn’t only fix the issue described above, but it would avoid that compressed linenotes have more separation space than uncompressed ones. Could you fix this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

compressed linenotes break right line range numbering
by Pablo Rodríguez 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear Hans, I'm afraid that there is a bug in compressed linenotes that prevents to have the line ranges to be properly numbered. Here you have a sample: \setupnotation[linenote][compress=yes] \starttext \startlinenumbering \linenote{Without this note, line numbering from ranges is right}\startlinenote[one]{This should have lines 1 to 3.}line one\\ line two\\ line three\stoplinenote[one] \stoplinenumbering \stoptext It happens when compressed linenotes are enabled and there is a linenote before the \startlinenote. In that case, only the first line is numbered, not the last. Could you fix that? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Using \setupinterlinespace with \setuparranging[XY], and more
by Pavneet Arora 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hello, I am using Willi's MAPS 37 and the "Example" section from the \setuppaper command: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuppaper to print a set of labels, 2x6 configuration on U.S. Letter waterproof label paper. For the most part things are working well, but I have a number of questions: 1. A difference between MAPS 37 and wiki entry for \setuppaper is the inclusion of the following line in the later: \setuplayout[location=middle] which seems to play a significant role. Otherwise, I cannot get the labels to honour the topspace and backspace specified in the setuppaper command. My question is why is this significant? What role does it play? This can be tested by simply deleting the line in the MWE below. 2. I would like to have every label "centered", i.e., \framed[alignment=center] should be set for all labels. However, including it in the setupframedtexts command doesn't seem to have any effect as shown in the MWE down below. Is there another way for all labels to inherit this alignment setting? 3. I cannot get interlinespacing to affect the line spacing even though the baselineskip variable is changed as shown in the MWE. advTHANKSance. EXAMPLE: \definepapersize [Label] [width=4in,height=3.33in] \setuppapersize[Label][letter,portrait] \setuppaper [topspace=0.4688in, backspace=0.1875in, dx=0.1875in, dy=0in, nx=2, ny=3] \setuplayout [topspace=0in, backspace=0in, margin=0in, width=4in, height=3.33in, header=0in, footer=0in] \setuparranging[XY] \setupframedtexts [width=\textwidth, height=\textheight, alignment=center, frame=off, location=lohi, alignment=center, offset=0pt] \setuplayout[location=middle] \definelayer [Label] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[schola] \setupbodyfont[rm,48pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] \showframe \starttext \the\baselineskip\page \framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{Label 1}\page \the\baselineskip\page \framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{\definedfont[Serif at 18pt]\setupinterlinespace \the\baselineskip\crlf A long description label that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page Label 2\page Label 3\page Label 4\page Label 5\page Label 6\page Label 7\page Label 8\page \stoptext -- ---- Pavneet Arora m: 647.406.6843 Waroc Informatik t: 416.937.9276

\centerline vs. \midaligned vs. \startalignment[middle]

Hello, there are several similar commands to produce text (or another object) to be centered on the line. What are differences (or intended usage) among \centerline, \midaligned, \startalignment[middle]? (NB: \centerline has no its-own page on wiki, but it is used at several places in wiki samples. \centerline was also mentioned here in the mailing list, when I was trying to center "tabulate" - and neither \midaligned nor \startalignment[middle] combined with \dontleavehmode worked.)

Portrait vs. landscape orientation for Tabloid paper

I believe that the definitions for portrait and landscape orientation for Tabloid/Ledger paper are flipped.

With this MWE, the properties under both systems is shown as "Tabloid, Portrait (11.00 x 17.00 inches)" Have I got this right?

When I failed to get the table placed where I want it, at some point, I tried to use a layer. In the end the table was placed okay, but in a messy way I suppose. Now I have tried to add another layer but the logo appears to the right of the table or not at all. As far as I understand there can only be one background layer, so that trick with the table will not work again for the logo I guess. Can someone please help me to use multiple layers that I can exactly position?

Disabling interactive citations
by Sander Maijers 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

I want to disable the clickable citations (in MkIV) while keeping other interaction for things like cross-references. So far I unsuccessfully tried some commands in my environment file like: \setupcite[interaction=stop,compress=yes] This is just my guesswork as I haven't found documentation for (setup)cite. P.S.: As for my motives, the links: 1. are missing when using the 'authoryear' alternative with APA bibliography style; 2. link to "references.pdf" while my project is one document in one differently named file and references.tex is just one product in it.

simplefonts wiki page added
by Pablo Rodríguez 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Dear list, I have added a new simplefonts page for new users. (I hope it isn't full of errors ;-).) There may be some missing information, because I don't understand how the standard font handling in ConTeXt works. And I removed duplicated content from the font handling in LuaTeX (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Fonts_in_LuaTeX&action=histor…) Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

If I decide to use, for instance, "Σ" instead of "\sum", this operator is no longer stretched/scaling regardless of the sub/superscripts specified tot it. Is it possible to keep stretching/scaling while using Inicode characters for such operators?

IMO, they should be fully supported. There are not so many fonts with that property and even less in the free software world, so one can assume that somebody possessing such font knows what that means and probably expects its support. I think, context should by default use the appropriate font for each font-size corresponding to the design range defined in the font’s table, while providing an interface to override that automatism.

Hi, There is a 'size' table in opentype fonts which contains informations about the design size, the design range and a style-ID and -name. Fonts that come with different optical sizes do in fact use that table exactly for the purpose desired by Andrés. Latin Modern does so, Adobe fonts do so and EB Garamond happens to use that table too. XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX interpret it correctly (by means of fontspec, IIRC). So perhaps it’s worth reconsidering this. Best regards, Georg

What is the status of ConTeXt's various test suites?
by Sietse Brouwer 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Hi, all, There appear to be a number of test suites in existence. (1) The suite on pragma-ade.com. I suspect this is the one Hans actually uses. http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm (click on cont-tst.7z) (2) The project on foundry.supelec.fr. Most recent file is 3 years old, and most of them are 6-7 years old, AFAICT. Summary: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contexttest/ Files: https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/viewvc.php/?root=contexttest This is also the suite described on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test_suite (3) The ConTeXt unofficial test suite https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite I want to update the [[Test suite]] page to make it more accurate. So, I'm asking y'all: any inaccuracies in the text at the bottom of this e-mail? Cheers, Sietse * The test suite at pragma-ade.com is Hans's test suite; he runs this suite before uploading a new beta (most times). To contribute a test to this suite, write it in an e-mail and send it to the mailing list. QUESTION: when one downloads and unzips this file in a directory, how does one run it? * The test suite at github is managed by users, especially Marco Patzer. To run the suite, just download it and run `run-suite.pl`. * The test suite at foundry.supelec.fr is no longer being used. QUESTION: are the tests in it already transferred to Hans or Marco's test suite? If not, is that still something we want to do, or can we just bury this suite entirely?

I am trying to install a font so that Context cn use it. I am using the simplefont module and have a ttf that I'd like to use. There is a lot of conflicting information out about to do this and som is outdated. As for ContTeX I did find a nice article, but it says to use the program texfont, "which ships with ConTex", but I do not have any such file. texfont --ve=sil --co=gentium --makepath --install I am using the TexLive version. Is there any simple method to get this font so that it can be used by ConTex MKIV ?

Auto selecting optical sizes for a font
by Andres Conrado Montoya 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

Hello friends. I'm trying to design a book using the typescript you can find at the end of this message. I'm using the beautiful EBGaramond fonts from Georg Duffner (http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/) This font provides optical sizes to be used in different sizes (named "12" for 10.1pt or more, and "8" for 10 or less. These fonts automatically work as expected in latex, thanks to a recent package included in CTAN (ebgaramond package), selecting the correct font for the appropriate size. However, the typescript I'm using selects the "8" size for everything, without taking the type size into consideration. Is there any way to make ConTeXt do this automatic selection of fonts regarding of type size? I'm using version 2013.06.10 22:51. Here is my example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[es] \setupcapitals[sc=yes] \definefontfeature[default][default] [mode=node,calt=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,hlig=yes,ccmp=yes,kern=yes,mark=yes,mkmk=yes,onum=yes,pnum=yes,salt=yes,size=yes,expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps] [mode=node,script=latn,smcp=yes,c2sc=yes,calt=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,hlig=yes,ccmp=yes,kern=yes,mark=yes,mkmk=yes,onum=yes,pnum=yes,salt=yes,size=yes,expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \starttypescript[serif][ebgaramond] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [EBGaramond-Regular] [name:EBGaramond-Regular] \definefontsynonym [EBGaramond-Italic] [name:EBGaramond-Italic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][ebgaramond] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [EBGaramond-Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [EBGaramond-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Serif] [features=smallcaps] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[ebg][rm][serif][ebgaramond][default] \setupbodyfont[ebg,12pt] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex] \setupalign[lesshyphenation,hz,hanging] \doublehyphendemerits=30000 \setupspacing[packed] \starttext \showframe \showgrid \input tufte \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thank so much for all your good work and help. :)

Fraktur fonts
by Rudolf Bahr 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hello list members, an only-a-few-days-fan of Context writes to you for the first time. I'm pleased to have found a program closer to TeX and younger than LaTeX. In the last years I used LaTeX for a bigger family project with good success, but experienced some difficulties in arranging minipages containing changing text and pictures especially in series letters. So I'm trying to do that using Context. Of course I cannot change hundreds of files from LaTeX to Context, but newer tasks I'd like to do in Context. There is a first question I have concerning Fraktur fonts which I'd like to use typesetting a poem: I found a 2-mail-discussion in your 2002-archiv concerning those fonts. But I have to admit that I don't understand what is written there. So, I tried simply \definefont[Gedichtfont][Fraktur] \Gedichtfont{... poem ...} both with "context" and "texexec", but I don't achieve the desired result. "texexec" displays a font somehow similar to Fraktur, but not a very nice one and much to broad; and it seems to have no different "s" (one inner-word and one word-end or syllable-end "s") as needed in Fraktur. And, my "texexec" doesn't know anything about umlauts and sharp s. Whereas my "context" (translating the same program), dosn't know Fraktur, but knows umlauts. So I'm always using both of them, enjoying the partial success of both, though I read somewhere, it should be better using "texexec". Well, a very nice Fraktur font is Yannis Haralambous' "yfrak" in his "yfont" series, the nicest one I've found until now. Could you please help me to formulate the correct commands to use a "nice" Fraktur font, be it "yfrak" or another one? But please remember, Context is still rather confusing to me. So, it should be simple enough. Best regards, Ruhmwolf

\startTEXpage and alternative=doublesided woes...
by Jacob Peck 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hello all, I'm trying to get two pages from a PDF inserted into a document with a different paper size (6"x9") which happens to be doublesided... I want the inserted pages to retain their original size (letter), and to be centered as they are in the original document, not relocated due to the pagelayout set up by doublesided. When I use \startTEXpage \externalfigure... \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage \externalfigure... \stopTEXpage I get an extra page inserted between the two that I'm including. When I use \setuppagesize[letter][letter] \copypages[...][n=2] \setuppagesize[draft][draft] I get the desired results, aside from the margins... the pages are imported into the pagelayout as defined by doublesided. Help? Thanks, -->Jake

two questions on paragraphed linenotes
by Pablo Rodríguez 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Dear Hans, I'd like to introduce a friend into composing critical editions using ConTeXt. I have made some tests myself, and I'd like to know a couple of issues about paragraphed linenotes before start explaining. The first issue is about note split. When I started using ConTeXt, I realized that footnotes might be placed in the next page (unless split=verystrict is set). Fearing the same results in linenotes, I set this, but this lead to wrong separation between body and notes (at least on my examples). My question is: does the default split value for paragraphed linenotes keep all notes in the same page? The second question is on the space before linenotes that separates from text body. With your fix from last week, things have improved a lot. You told me is tricky. If you allow me a (naive) question: wouldn't it be possible that ConTeXt would check whether body lines respect the before distance of the first paragraphed linenotes and move as many lines that don't respect this distance to the next page? There are another issues. I'd love to use ConTeXt for critical editions. But I need to know both issues first. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Documenting \startchapter etc.
by Gareth Jones 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hi all, I’m new to ConTeXt, having used LaTeX for the past decade (although nothing particularly technical). I’m quickly learning that ConTeXt MkIV is a rapidly moving target, and the documentation has fallen a way behind… So, while I’m gradually learning, I’m going to make an effort to update the Wiki. My first real contribution is the page about the new MkIV sectioning commands (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startsection and http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles#New_MkIV_Sectioning) Since I’m new to this and Wiki-editing, I’d appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable could give the pages a quick look over to make sure I’m not misleading people with false information, and maybe add any parameters that I’ve missed (or don’t know the meaning of like ‘label’ and ‘marking’). Cheers, and thanks for ConTeXt – so far I like it a lot better than LaTeX or any other system I’ve tried! Gareth

item bullet processing / font problem

Setting the main font to ipaexm for Japanese characters, causes the sample document below to fail being typest properly. The $\diamond$ symbol I specified as an item bullet does not get typeset and where is should be is blank. Though not shown in this example, the default set is also affected. When it should be a circular bullet a largish hypen - is displayed. Also parsing of the document text itself is affected with Context halting in the middle of the first item's text. I think all problems are due to the change in fort. Is there anyway I can specify a backup font or a fort to use for only the symbols, which I believe is in a math font?

G'day everyone, I use introductory sentences to numbered lists all the time, like this (where \startnlist...\stopnlist is a custom itemised list): To remove a foo from a pool of foos: \startnlist \item Do this... \item Do that... \item ...and so on... \stopnlist On occasions, I am getting that introductory sentence as an orphaned line at the end of a page and my numbered list as the first thing on the next page. How can I avoid that? There is not much about orphans and widows on the Wiki or in the reference manual.

[***SPAM***] Scaling large (annotated) MetaFun drawing
by Pavneet Arora 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

[Sorry about the previous null message.] Background: Typically I use MetaPost to create small figures, which I then can scale as needed in larger documents. These figures contain no text so I can simply use the .eps output of mpost as an inclusion. Recently, I have embarked on a large illustration replete with lots of text labels. It is a "distilled" architectural drawing intended for diagnostic and maintenance purposes. In it plumbing details are overlaid over a layout. For simplicity, I standardized on unit size of 1cm so that co-ordinates can easily map from physical dimensions with the unusual hybrid scale of 1cm=1ft ;).. Status: With this set unit size, my drawing has grown very large. My intent is to get it printed on one of the (U.S.) based architectural paper sizes, or if it can be made legible on U.S. Tabloid size paper (17" x 11").. My first successful approach (and where I stand right now) is to simply use \startMPpage and \stopMPpage to scale to the page. Thera are a couple of issues, though, with this approach. First, I want to add additional information to the page, other than what would be handled by MetaPost, e.g., some tables, etc. Even without this additional information, having the drawing scale to page size does not give adequate margin buffering and if there are some labels right at the edge, I have seen some clipping of the text. Objective: I would like to create a scalable drawing with all of its text labels so that I can scale appropriately to different page sizes, and also incorporate the illustration with other document elements. >From what I have read at: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaPost_in_ConTeXt I think what I need is something akin to \startuseMPgraphic with a scaling option if I want to include the code inline. Otherwise, the drawing is clipped on the page. Or perhaps I simply try to convert the existing PDF output to PS, and then include it? What I am hoping is to get a best practises workflow from the list so that I can simply adopt it. advTHANKSance.

NTG-context] How to hack the lua files
by Lance Larsen 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I haven't been using the project structure. From your question, I am inferring that this might help. At present I have treated the files as two separate documents. I didn't take too much time looking at how to set up the project structure because it wasn't clear that I needed it. But I can see how this might impact cross references between documents. -Lance On 6/17/2013 3:25 PM, Lance Larsen wrote: > Hans, > > Thankyou for your suggestion of using the \usereferences tag to reference > formulas in another document.

placing an xtable
by Pablo Rodríguez 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Dear list, I'd like to place a table centered (both horizontally and vertically) on an empty page. Is there no option from the xtable itself to achieve that? I have tried \startxtable[location=lohi], but this doesn't seem to affect to the placement of the table itself. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Vertically Aligning inmargin Text to Figure
by Malte Stien 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hi, I need to associate a bit of text with a figure in a book. The text is not---and cannot be---the figure caption (it's providing some explanation with respect to some labels in the figure). I have tried the following based on some other post on the mailing list: \definepapersize[eightsquare][width=8in, height=8in] \setuppapersize[eightsquare] \setuplayout[ location=doublesided, marking=on, backspace=43mm, leftmargin=18mm, leftmargindistance=4mm, rightmargin=35mm, rightmargindistance=4mm, rightedgewidth=6mm, topspace=12mm, header=15mm, footer=15mm, height=179mm, width=115mm ] \starttext \startplacefigure[location=force, title={First dummy caption}] \inmargin{First margin dummy} \externalfigure[dummy][width=115mm] \stopplacefigure \stoptext However, that results in the text being down the bottom of the figure. I need the text to be vertically aligned with the top of the figure. I have attached the resulting PDF for illustration purposes (is that okay on this mailing list? It's very small). Any hints would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

(forw) Fraktur fonts
by Rudolf Bahr 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

----- Forwarded message from Rudolf Bahr <quasi(a)quasi.de> ----- From: Rudolf Bahr <quasi(a)quasi.de> Reply-To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl Subject: Fraktur fonts Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:28:12 +0200 Message-ID: <20130612092603.GA1090@mini> User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) Hello list members, an only-a-few-days-fan of Context writes to you for the first time. I'm pleased to have found a program closer to TeX and younger than LaTeX. In the last years I used LaTeX for a bigger family project with good success, but experienced some difficulties in arranging minipages containing changing text and pictures especially in series letters. So I'm trying to do that using Context. Of course I cannot change hundreds of files from LaTeX to Context, but newer tasks I'd like to do in Context. There is a first question I have concerning Fraktur fonts which I'd like to use typesetting a poem: I found a 2-mail-discussion in your 2002-archiv concerning those fonts. But I have to admit that I don't understand what is written there. So, I tried simply \definefont[Gedichtfont][Fraktur] \Gedichtfont{... poem ...} both with "context" and "texexec", but I don't achieve the desired result. "texexec" displays a font somehow similar to Fraktur, but not a very nice one and much to broad; and it seems to have no different "s" (one inner-word and one word-end or syllable-end "s") as needed in Fraktur. And, my "texexec" doesn't know anything about umlauts and sharp s. Whereas my "context" (translating the same program), dosn't know Fraktur, but knows umlauts. So I'm always using both of them, enjoying the partial success of both, though I read somewhere, it should be better using "texexec". Well, a very nice Fraktur font is Yannis Haralambous' "yfrak" in his "yfont" series, the nicest one I've found until now. Could you please help me to formulate the correct commands to use a "nice" Fraktur font, be it "yfrak" or another one? But please remember, Context is still rather confusing to me. So, it should be simple enough. Best regards, Ruhmwolf ----- End forwarded message -----

two simple questions on presentations
by Pablo Rodríguez 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Dear list, sorry for asking the following questions, but I wasn't able to find the answers on the reference manual, the wiki or the command list. I wanted to make some cards (and I'm interested also in this features for presentations) that have the following features: -Everything in the cards is centered both horizontally and vertically. \setupalign[lohi] doesn't work outside frames or similar and \setupalign[middle] centers only horizontally. -Page background colors that can be changed from a given point to the rest of the document or the next page background color change. \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] sets the background color for all pages. How could I get both features? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
