Place figure here; jumping over sections
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi, How to specify that I prefer to place figure "here" in the following code? \startplacefigure \externalfigure[settings_window.png][scale=1000] \stopplacefigure I don't understand, why figures are encouraged to jump across sections and subsections? It makes no sense. Is there a way to prohibit this (e.g., flush all figures at section end, possibly for the cost of white space at page bottom)? At least I could see where problems are, instead of keeping an eye whether figures still belong to their sections. Regards, Vyactheslav

Copy pages with keeping original page sizes
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, this is just an announcement and maybe a proposal. I needed to copy all pages from a .pdf file into the document. The pages to be copied were a mix of A4 and A3 pages, with portrait and landscape orientation. Also, I needed to suppress current header & footer and to use the whole page area, like with \setuplayout[page]. I tried various combination of \filterpages, \copypages and \externalfigure - nothing the the whole desired effect. Finally, I created the following snippet: ---- \startluacode function copyPages(fn) local fig = figures.push{name = fn} figures.identify() figures.check() local n = fig.used.pages figures.pop() for i = 1, n do context.startTEXpage() context.externalfigure({fn}, {page = i}) context.stopTEXpage() end end \stopluacode \starttext %\externalfigure[tt.pdf][page=3] \directlua{copyPages("tt.pdf")} \stoptext ---- It seems to work; but it might be better to add an option to an existing command, e.g. \copypages (e.g. "preservecurrentpagesize" and/or "autosize" and/or "fullpage") to achieve the same effect.

Including movies in pdf files
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I was updating the wiki entry on \externalfigures (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure) and noticed that I cannot get ConTeXt to include a movie. I tried the following \starttext \externalfigure[clip.mov] \stoptext (where clip.mov is a quicktime movie distributed with Mathematica, which I copied to the current directory). The movie file is 16K and the resultant PDF file is 4.5K, which means that the movie is not embedded in the PDF (which in itself is not a problem, because, IIUC, context does not embed the movie in the pdf file anyways). However, when I open the file in acroread 9.5.1 (on Linux), and no movie is shown in the pdf file. So, does ConTeXt support including movies in pdf files, and if so, can someone provide a minimal working example. Aditya

Which version to use for MathML?
by Chen Shen 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hi all, I tried a few mathml examples with 2012.05.30 and the latest beta (test script attached). The 20120530 version fails with eqn1, which uses presentation mathml, but works with eqn using content mathml. The latest beta generates doesn't work with either equations. I see a lot of mathml related changes recently, with the file x-mathml.mkiv come and go away. Which version should I go with to get presentation mathml work? thanks and regards, shenchen

Reading product environment within a component file
by Romain Diss 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hi all, Since I read the thread concerning the LaTeX \includeonly equivalent, I tried again to make to project structure work for me (I gave up some time ago). Here is my problem: I have a product file p.tex %% p.tex \startproduct p \environment e \component c \component d \stopproduct %% end an environment file e.tex %% e.tex \startenvironment e % style commands... \stopenvironment %% end and two component files c.tex and d.tex %% c.tex (d.tex is the same file, except content part) \setupreferencing[autofile=yes] \setupinteraction[state=start] \startcomponent c \product p % content \stopcomponent but no project file. When I run context on the product file, everything is ok. But when I run context on one component file, it doesn't read the environment file because the \product command doesn't seem to be read (that's what I understand from the documentation). So, how should I do to inform context to read the environment mentionned in the product file. Is it obligatory to use a project file to be able to read the parent environment when processing a component? Another question which I think is linked to the previous one is: is one supposed to run context on a component? My different tests shows that a run on a component load all the other components mentionned in the product. So it seems to be equivalent to run context on a product or on a component (except for the environment problem mentionned before). That's also what the wiki seems to say (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure) "In addition, you have to keep in mind that when compiling a product or component file, ConTeXt goes "up" to the project file and compiles everything it finds in there that is not a \product". So, actually, I'm not able to reproduce the \includeonly equivalent with \component (even if I use \setupreferencing[autofile=yes] and \setupinteraction[state=start]). Do I miss something? All the best. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature

02 Dec '12

Hi there, sorry for bothering again with this issue, but I need to be sure in order to properly report to the font developer of FreeSerif. I have the following file: \usemodule[simplefonts][size=25pt] \definefontfeature[latins][default][script=latn] \setmainfont[FreeSerif] \starttext \showfontkerns dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par \addfs{latins} dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par \stoptext The first line has no GPOS kern enabled and the second line has it. In order to report it to the font developer (I have the problem not with ConTeXt, but with my ereader [I used ConTeXt to check the font features), I have the following questions: -In the example above, is the old TrueType kern enabled on the first line? -If not, how can I enable it, without enabling the liga or kern OpenType features? I need this to see the actual kerning form the old TrueType kern table (I suspect it hasn't the same values as the OpenType kern feature). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

two bugs in the latest beta of context mkiv
by Jannik Voges 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hello, I want to report two bugs in the latest beta of context mkiv. When I typeset the following example, I get the sectionnumber 1 for the second subsection. I would expect the sectionnumber 2.0.1 for that subsection. This problem (wrong sectionnumber) also appears in the table of contents. \starttext \chapter{A Chapter} \section{A Section} \subsection{A Subsection} \chapter{Another Chapter} \subsection{Another Subsection} \stoptext In my attempt to circumvent this problem I tried to write my own table of contents (the number in the headlines were easy to fix) with \writetolist[toc]{number}{text}. But \writetolist seems to be broken, because the sectionnumber is missing. As an minimal example you can use the example from the context-wiki: \definelist[Reprints][criterium=all] \starttext \section{Sec 1} \writetolist[Reprints]{1.}{List entry A}% \writetolist[Reprints]{}{With no number}% \subsection{Subsec 1} \writebetweenlist[Reprints]{\hrule} \writetolist[Reprints]{2.}{List entry B}% \completelist[Reprints] \stoptext As you see, the horizontal line appears at the top of the list and not after the second entry. So there seems to be an additional bug. Sincerely Jannik

request for a few volunteers to test distribution on new server
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

Dear ConTeXters, we will point the distribution to the new server later today (for a moment without any significant changes). Before we do that I would like to ask some of you to try out ./first-install.sh --server=distribution.contextgarden.net to make sure that I didn't do any obvious mistake on the way. The changes that I'm aware of are the following: 1.) changed names of math fonts deleting fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmath-regular.otf deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyretermes-math.otf deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyrepagella-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/lm-math/lmodern-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyrepagella-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyretermes-math.otf 2.) some font documentation is missing, I forgot to include Asana Math (fixing it) and there are some euler fonts there were not present earlier (I need to look into that) 3.) gone: /doc, /experimental, /pragma, /texlive (none of those is used, but /doc is now under /current/doc) 4.) alpha and dated context versions are gone (hardly make any sense since they are too old and hardly usable) 5.) I see lots of (so far unexplained) changes in TikZ. I didn't try to figure out what those are. 6.) I didn't set up headers/footers/icons yet to make the few semi-(non-)useful notes on the website. Mojca (PS: there are other changes on the way, but I first want to make sure that the old distribution will keep working as it did now.)

ConTeXt Minimal Installer for Windows

Together with TeXWorks tool, it takes a few minutes from beginning of installation to writing your first document. Works fine for all Windows versions. Known issues: On my Windows 8 machine, post-install 'make' fails, but it can be run manually then. Thanks to Mojca for her help. Regards, Vaytcheslav

Hi, Wolfgang, I believe it doesn't matter what parameter is, because the files are downloaded successfully. I use not first-setup.sh, but my own Windows installer. One thing that is different from the last time I updated my Context (more than year ago), is texmf-modules folder in the root. So, now the path to fullpage is D:\contextminimal\texmf-modules\tex\context\third\fullpage while it was D:\contextminimal\texmf-context\tex\context\third\fullpage Maybe texmf-modules is not registered in the tree for some reason? Maybe, it needs a separate environment variable set, e.g. TEXMODULES?? Regards, Vyatcheslav

Updating texlive?

Hi, is there a canonical way to update texlive so it runs the latest context beta? From time to time, I'd like to be sure that I can run texlive as well.

Euler Constant and limit

Hey list, I am trying to typeset the Verhulst equation which contains a Euler constant which I cannot get to display correctly: \placeformula[formula:Verhulst equation] \startformula \math{P(t) = \frac{K P_0 \Eulerconst^{rt}} {K + P_0(\Eulerconst^{r t} - 1)}} \stopformula The location for the \Eulerconst just shows up blank with nothing there, so I am assuming this is the wrong command. I am using ConTeXt 2012.11.16 under Ubuntu Precise. In addition, the following formula does not typeset correctly. There is no arrow linking 't' to infinity symbol: \placeformula[formula:Limit of Verhulst equation] \startformula \math{\lim_{t\to\infty} P(t) = K.\,} \stopformula PS Please cc me, as I am not on the list currently. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

These black blocks are quite useful, but not as powerful, as I am looking for. I am looking for a command, which builds a register of all occurences of these blocks. Imagine I am working on a 300-page book, than I have to check every single page for these margin-runs (f.e. after changing the layout), with these black boxes its much easier, of course, but still a mess. Is there a command like "\showallmarginruns", which gives something like this: "Margin runs on p. 34,67,101,145,204,298" - it may use somehow the blocks of \version[temporary], that would be perfect for me.

ConTeXt: Page numbering in words for spanish
by Acidrums4 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

Hello there and thanks for finally let me into this mailing list! So I tried to hack the macro given in the ConTeXt wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Page_numbering_in_words) to write pagenumbering in words in spanish, my native language. Things were great until I had to reach the 100th page. ConTeXt claims when compiling, but I don't know how to fix the macro so it can write hundred-numbers. 'Cien' is 100 for spanish. 'Ciento uno' for 101, 'ciento dos' for 102 and so (You can see a more detailed example in http://spanish.about.com/cs/forbeginners/a/cardinalnum_beg.htm) So basically I need to prepend the word 'cien' for each word number from 1 to 99 to write the one-hundreds, 'doscientos' for the two-hundreds... Here is my dirty hacked version of the macro (you may save it as 'numstr.tex' for compiling), and a minimal example as follows: \input numstr \defineconversion[numstring][\numstr] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numstring] \starttext \dorecurse{100}{\recurselevel\page} \stoptext I'm such a noob with TeX and I cannot figure out how to do this, and I need this for this friday!. However, Aditya in the TeX section of StackExchange (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82722/context-page-numbering-in-word… for-spanish#comment178155_82722) told me that I could do this witk Lua (editing the file core-con.lua, as seen in http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git/blob/HEAD:/tex/context/base/core-con.lua ), 'cause I'm using MkIV for doing this. But I don't know anything about Lua (seems pretty easy, but I don't know how to test the code Aditya gave me) and If I knew how to do that, I don't know how to make it work in my document... All I could do is translate the 'words' array to spanish, but I couldn't do more... Could you guys give me a hand on this? Thank you so much!

"Hiding" columns in m-database & TABLE
by Marcin Borkowski 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hi all, I'd like to process a csv file (with the database module) in order to typeset a (nice) TABLE. However, I have a few columns I'd like to omit.

Hi, As Mojca is moving the distribution to another server we have a few days of potential instability which gives us the change to experiment a bit. I've changed the defaults for the math fonts so that now we use the 'real thing'. However, as there can be issues, one can still say at the top of a document (of in cont-syst.tex): \enablemode[txmath] \enablemode[pxmath] \enablemode[lmmath] The design sized latin modern text font is still the default but one could already change that by \setupbodyfont[modern] There is currently some renaming going on for those math fonts but that should not affect us as context can handle older names too.

\startitemize[columns] once again...
by Marcin Borkowski 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

This minimal example behaves in a strange way: \starttext Some text \startitemize[columns,two,joinedup] \item abc% $\frac{x^2-x+3}{x^2+x-3}$; \item xyz% $\frac{x^5-3}{x^3+x-2}$. \stopitemize \stoptext If we remove the percentage signs in the items, an additional vertical skip appears. Is it a feature or a bug? (Also, I encountered a *very* weird error where in some cases a whole page disappears in the pdf; I could not distil it into a minimal example, but I'll try and I'll post it here. I have a very vague suspicion that \startitemize[columns] is again the culprit.) TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Dash equivalent of $BASH_SOURCE (for setuptex)
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

Hi everyone, Hans wrote me the following, but I'm unable to figure it out myself. The script "setuptex" (which is in fact not urgently needed as one can just as well export the right path, but it comes in handy) can be used in two ways: (a) . /path/to/context/tex/setuptex (b) . /path/to/context/tex/setuptex /path/to/context/tex The first approach only works if the shell interpreting setuptex knows where the sourced script is located. Currently the script uses the following code and works in Bash, KSH (and maybe some other shells as well, but I'm not sure which ones). if [ z"$BASH_SOURCE" != z ]; then SCRIPTPATH="$BASH_SOURCE" elif [ z"$KSH_VERSION" != z ]; then SCRIPTPATH="${.sh.file}" else SCRIPTPATH="$0" fi Hans had problems with Dash, however, I have no clue how to enable (a) in Dash. The (b) approach always works though, so in the worst case the answer to Hans would be "provide the path to your tex root, or write your own script with hardcoded path ;)", but if anyone has any clue if finding path to the executed script is possible in Dash or in any other POSIX-compatible way, please let me know.

Arabic with ConTeXt
by "H. Özoguz" 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hello, many books I layout have arabic words or complete paragraphs in it - where the main language is german. For example there is a book, which is completely in arabic with german translation. My present method to write in Arabic is, for sure, not the best, f.e. I have problems with arabic numbers (which are printed mirrored), problems with brackets and so on. I have two questions, hopefully there is an expert for questions concerning Arabic or similar quests: First: How to divide the page into a left part and a right part, two wright german on the left side and arabic on the right. Is \paragraph the best way for it? Second: Which is your recommended way to type arabic with ConTeXt? I add mine in this Mail, please give me advises to improve it. Thank you. Huseyin P.S.: If gridsetting with arabic is possible, then I would prefer that. But if not (see my non-gridsetting solution with \placeongrid), it's ok for me. Here an example of Arabic on the right, with german left under it (should be side-by-side, did not implemend the paragraph yet) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++\setuplayout[grid=yes]\setuplayout[grid=yes] \definefont[Sheh][name:Scheherazade*arabic at 17pt] % or file:amiri-regular.ttf*... file:alq.ttf \def\Arab[#1][#2]{ \placeongrid[top]{ \blank[0.2cm] \setupalign[r2l]\Sheh #1 \blank[0.3cm] } {\sl #2} \blank[big] } \starttext \Arab[فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ][Welche der Wohltaten eures Herrn wollt ihr beide verleugnen?] \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Images in MultiMarkdown -> context -> PDF
by Guy Stalnaker 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hello, Thanks to Aditya I have discovered ConTeXt which, thus far, seems to give me much more control over the images than LaTex does. Yay! Before we get the reason for this post, I should note that my workflow is MultiMarkdown file, pandoc output of standalone context file, then context on that pandoc output. I have edited the context file to include a /defineexternalfigure directive to put a frame around all images. The images I have are all screenshots of application usage steps. The crucial output is html that goes into our online Knowledge base. Secondary output is PDF that will be used for our classroom training. The screen shots are mostly jpg with a scattering of png, and are all different sizes. The pandoc html output looks very much as we want it as we can use a css file to customize padding, etc. I get a very good pdf document, but there is one bewildering issue -- the images in the ConTeXt output pdf document are scaled very small. All of them, that is, but two which are more correctly sized in the pdf document. Almost all of them are jpg images created on a MacOS VM using an application called Skitch. I have looked the images over and besides some differing exif data all of them have the expected xy dimension attributes and I can see no difference between the two that are 'right' in the pdf document and the rest that are too small. I've tried playing with scale=1000 and factor=<max,fit,broad> in the /defineexternalfigure directive and none help; scale=1000 changes nothing at all for the small images and scale values above 1000, while modifying the smaller images also make the correctly sized images too large. The factor values make all images scale to fit the textwidth without exception (that is, I can see no difference whatever in the three options), making smaller images far to large and pixelated. I took one image and used GIMP to modify its DPI to 300 thinking perhaps that might be a factor, but the 72dpi and 300dpi images look identically sized in the PDF document. The texexex output only says this about the images: <quote> <./images/group54/26378/CMSLogin_300dpi.jpg> figures : dimensions of images/group54/26378/CMSLogin_300dpi.jpg loaded from figurefile itself ... <./images/group54/26378/CMSSelectProjectDropDown.jpg> figures : dimensions of images/group54/26378/CMSSelectProjectDropDown.j pg loaded from figurefile itself </quote> That output is for both a 300dpi and a 72dpi image. Though is looks like dimensions are being read, both are too small in the pdf output. I quoted texexec because it showed output related to the images. Using 'context <fname>' does not produce a similar console output, but the pdf doc created is the same with the same image size issues. Also of note is that pdflatex output on a pandoc->latex file does almost exactly the opposite of what context does--all images are scaled to fit text width by default (like using factor=max in context). But that is just as unwanted as having the images too small. The html output when viewed in a browser shows the same images as expected. None of these images are the same size and using any width=X value cannot work. Some screen shots may be 1024 pixels wide while others only 150 pixels wide (a shot of a button or tab, for example). I looked through 1.5 years of posts to the comp.tex.context news group looking for anything might be similar, but no luck. I have put several of the files involved on a publicly accessible web server. There are two screen shots of the pdf output showing incorrect image sizing and correct image sizing and the actual image files themselves. There is the markdown, context, html, and pdf documents. https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/jstalnak/web/context/ I know that is a lot. I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

intertext (math): alignment problems
by Andreas Mang 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Dear all, if I set up my formulas with a right alignment that has some indentation to it, I am experiencing problems with "intertext". I would assume the text was flushed left. However, it aligns to the formulas (i.e. it is aligned to the left margin defined in \setupformulas). Minimal example below. If I comment the setupformulas, the equation is aligned to the center and the "intertext" is flushed left. Any suggestions?

typefile with absolute path to file

Dear List, a question about \typefile{}. I tried to use \typefile{ /with/an/absolute/path/to/some_file } and failed Message in the log: Verbatim some_file not found. Also tried with no path at all, assuming it will take the file from the current directory. Same result. Do I miss something? Should this work? Or, if not, how can I achieve this effect (typefile with absolute path to a file. btw. on a Linux system) I'm aware of a similar message thread to this list from May 25th, this year. But I didn't feel that it speaks against my comprehension of \typefile ... Thanks! Erik

Symbols

Hi all, could someone bring light into the way how to use symbols…in MKIV I wanted to extract a symbol from uzdr (Zapfdingbats). In MIII the that worked like this: \definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr] \definesymbol[box][\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char113}] In MKIV this is not the case. I tried to find out with the font-manual, unfortunately it only shows the content of the symb-imp-eur.mkiv. I tried to find the fonts mentioned in that file, but miserably failed. I tried different approaches but get now result, except for the black diamond, but this is defined internally in ConTeXt (\definesymbol[blackdiamond] [\textormathchar{"2666}]. \definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr] \definefontsynonym[MSAM][msam10] \definesymbol[boxA] [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char113}] %Seems to be changed... \definesymbol[boxB] [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char"274F}] % U+0274F, 00052, a74 \definesymbol[cuttingscissors] [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\utfchar{"2701}}] \definesymbol[blackdiamond] [\textormathchar{"2666}] \definesymbol[blackdiamondvar][\textormathchar{"25C6}] \definesymbol[diamondfilled] [\getglyph{MSAM}{\utfchar{"F0067}}] \starttext Thanks for support… Willi \symbol{boxA} \symbol{boxB} \symbol{cuttingscissors} \symbol{blackdiamond} \symbol{blackdiamondvar} \symbol{diamondfilled} \stoptext

incrementnumber vs. prefixsegments
by plink 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hi, i'm trying to combine two features that somehow don't fit together: 1. figure numbering and referring using a chapter.fignr scheme. For this, a setup with \setupcaption[figure][prefix=yes,way=bychapter,prefixsegments=chapter] works fine, as long as i don't have 2. untitled entries below chapter (aka subject or subsubject), that also have to occur in the table of contents. For this, e.g. using \setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list] \definecombinedlist[content][title,chapter,section,subject] does the trick, but then the figure number prefix gets eaten up at figures in subjects. I'd be glad if anybody could give me a hint on how to solve this. ConTeXt ver: 2012.10.30 21:13 MKIV Below a maximin example. Commenting out the \setuphead line gives back the prefix, but then there is no more subject in the toc, as to be expected: \setuphead[chapter][page=no,continue=yes] \setupcaption[figure][ prefix=yes, way=bychapter, prefixsegments=chapter] \setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list] \definecombinedlist[content][title,chapter,section,subject] \starttext \placecontent \chapter{Chapter} \section{Section Een} \placefigure[here][fig:a]{figure a}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=1cm]} Figure \in[fig:a] = 1.1\crlf Figure \in[fig:b] = 1.2?\crlf Figure \in[fig:c] = 1.3\crlf \subject{Subject} \placefigure[here][fig:b]{figure b}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=1cm]} Figure \in[fig:a] = 1.1\crlf Figure \in[fig:b] = 1.2?\crlf Figure \in[fig:c] = 1.3\crlf \section{Section Twee} \placefigure[here][fig:c]{figure c}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=1cm]} Figure \in[fig:a] = 1.1\crlf Figure \in[fig:b] = 1.2?\crlf Figure \in[fig:c] = 1.3\crlf \stoptext

Indented footnotes in ConTeXt
by Adam Khan 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Greetings! I am writing a German critical edition in which I am using endnotes, and I am encountering severe difficulties with formatting them as I should wish. The idea is to indent the entire footnote—marker and text—0.5in. In ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX, I can move the footnote marker with this set-up: \definenote[critical][conversion=characters, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, margindistance=-.5in, align=flushleft] Then I move the text by adding the unsightly but functional hack \hskip.5into the beginning of the argument of \critical or \criticaltext. Unfortunately, the endnotes do not flow from page to page in Mark II, and, from the comments on the source code, it appears that this cannot be helped. Given the length and number of endnotes needed for my project, ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX does not seem viable. In ConTeXt (Mark IV) on LuaTeX, on the other hand, the endnotes do flow from page to page, but the formatting does not appear to respond to the margindistance key. From various related posts, the answer appears to lie in \setupnotation, but, whenever I attempt to pass this command, I get an “undefined control sequence” error. In short, my question is, How do I code indenting each endnote .5in with the highest degree of automation and fewest hacks possible? Sincerely yours, Adam Khan P.S. In case something less obvious in my environment file is causing my difficulties, I attach it below: \startenvironment Formattierung \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[backspace=1.5in, topspace=1in, bottomspace=1in, cutspace=1in] \setupinterlinespace[line=5.6ex] \setupindenting[.5in] \indenting[always] \setupnarrower[left=0.5in, right=0in] \setupspacing[packed] \setupalign[right,broad,nothyphenated] \setuplinenumbering[step=1] \setuppagenumbering[way=bytext] \definenote[genetic] \setupnote[genetic][numberconversion=romannumerals, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[source] \setupnote[source][numberconversion=set2, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[critical] \setupnote[critical][numberconversion=characters, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, margindistance=-.5in, align=flushleft] \definenote[annotation] \setupnote[annotation][numberconversion=numbers, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[sociological] \setupnote[sociological][numberconversion=Romannumerals, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \setupbodyfont[ss,12pt] \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] \def\broadcast{\rm} \def\callout#1{<#1>} \def\noteindent{\hskip.5in} \def\notepar{\\\hskip.5in} \def\original{\ss} \def\paratext{\tt} \def\quotationheader#1#2{{\noindenting\paratext#1]\wordright{[#2}}} \def\siglum#1{{\bf#1}} \def\someoneelse#1{{\it#1}} \stopenvironment

inright with location=hanging does not do what is expected.
by Bill Meahan 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Apparently the listserver thought this was spam given my original subject lines contained a backslash, square brackets and curly brackets. :( Let's try this again: Maybe I'm reading the documentation (such as it is) wrong but I would expect specifying [location=hanging] to drop the margin text down alongside what follows instead of raising up to be even with what has preceded it. Minimal example: \starttext \input montgomery \inright[][align=right,location=hanging]{Shoulder Text} \input knuth \stoptext The "Shoulder Text" is aligned upward from the end of ward so it is alongside the ward quote. I would have expected it to be aligned downward alongside the knuth quote. Am I missing something? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Parameters for Texworks
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi there, Im happy to have found the correct parameters for Texworks and MarkVI (and Standalone Context) after hours, wtih the kindly help of Hans and SciTE. They are: Programm: mtxrun Parameters: --script context --synctec $fullname Perhaps it would be useful to add this into the wiki, since there is only a guide in texworks for MarkIV. Thanks everybody.

Bug?
by Willi Egger 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi all! It appears to me, that there is a bug in transferring internal information: Suppose you have a large image. You need to squeeze this image into the width of 1 column in a two column environment. If the figure is placed with a fixed width it comes out as expect. If you use \textwidth or \makeupwidth the figure will not be sized correctly. \showframe % \definemixedcolumns[columns] % \setupcolumns % [distance=4mm] \starttext \startsimplecolumns \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow width fixed-width} {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,width=4cm]} \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow with \type{\textwidth}} {\externalfigure[Pyramid][fame=on,width=\textwidth]} \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow with \type{\makeupwidth}} {\externalfigure[Pyramid][frame=on,width=\makeupwidth]} \stopsimplecolumns \stoptext Willi

Spaces in commands
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi there, how to define commands, which are simply short-cuts for some terms? My attempt produces typographical mistakes: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\testcmd{% Testcommand% } \def\testcmdtwo{% Testcommandtwo } \starttext This is a \testcmd. Everything ok. This \testcmd has no space after, but it should have. This \testcmdtwo has a space after. Everything ok. But this \testcmdtwo, produces one extra spaces after the comma. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thank you. Huseyin

Equivalent of Includeonly?

Is there an equivalent of the LaTeX "\includeonly" ? - I'm working on books (nearly only on books), so such a command would speed up my work. Huseyin

Re: Section alone on the page
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

I got this eMail, and copy it here, maybe someone understands what changed and caused this Bug. ++++++++++++++++++ I looked at your not_so_short_example in ntg-context Digest, Vol 101, Issue 53, 18 November 2012, and I found that your problem, the section title alone at the bottom of a page, occurs only in some versions of the ConTeXt standalone, not in others. That on TeXLive will be OK (it was on my installation) My recent version of ConTeXt (14-11-2012) was not OK but some older versions (from march and may this year and even as recent as october 28) do not give your problem. For he others, I tried to avoid the problem by adding to your setup: \clubpenalty=10000 % keine Schusterjungen / no clubs (from Ubuch) \widowpenalty=10000 % keine Hurenkinder / no widows but that did not change anything, starngely enough. Maybe you could ask Hans Hagen or Wolfgang Schuster to have a look at the code and find out what's wrong. I hope this helps a little for the time being. +++++++++++++ Huseyin

Suddenly can't run context
by Bill Meahan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Something has changed on my system and I can't find it. Perhaps someone can point me where I should look. I've had the texlive2012 installed since it came out and until a couple of days ago everything worked just fine. All of a sudden, things changed. I did nothing directly to the texlive distribution. wwm@escherton$ context --version gives the error output at the end of this note wwm@escherton$ sudo context --version works just fine wwm@escherton$ mtxrun --version works just fine as does mtxrun --script fonts --reload &c. I created a new user. context@escherton$ context --version works just fine I deleted the texlive distribution and re-installed it. No change. I've run sudo context --generate several times with no change in behavior. I've deleted the local .texlive2012 directory but since context won't run, it doesn't get recreated. I can set TEXMF and then context will run but it takes a much longer time than usual and the disk activity light is on almost solid. Any ideas?
