How to set the whole document flush left?
by Marcin Borkowski 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hi, I'd like to have all my document set flush left. I know how to set a \framed flush left, or \startalign ... \stopalign - but what about the whole? (In my current case, the document is basically a (mid-aligned) title and then one big itemgroup, so I added [align={right,broad}] to the \startitemize - but what about the general case? \raggedright did not work, at least for the itemization.) Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

The on-going process of the Proceedings for Context Meeting 2011
by John Haltiwanger 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hello all! It's been very quiet in regards to the Context Group's first publication, the Proceedings for Context Meeting 2011. We've been hammering out the details of a new design and house style with Adrian Egger. This process is almost complete, and we are very excited for you all to see the inspiring new design! But there is, of course, the issue of getting the final content together for this issue. And here is where I need the help of those who agreed at last year's meeting to submit an article for the proceedings: We would like to publish this years proceedings along with last years in a double edition. I've lost the list of those who wanted to submit last year, so if you remember being one of those nice and awesome people, please consider writing up a short article and sending it! *Of course we also welcome any Context-related articles! *There has been a lot of cool stuff happening in the community over the last year, and it would be great to have some further documentation on them. A very warm thanks to those of you who sent me material already--know that it was not in vain, and that your work will indeed be published. The *deadline for submission is 1 November*, with the double-edition proceedings landing on doorsteps in time for the winter holidays. For those of you who have not yet joined the Context Group, please consider doing so<http://group.contextgarden.net/register.shtml> ! Looking forward to hearing from you, John

Math Overruns Background
by Nicholas Ulle 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Hello, I'm trying to typeset an exam with solutions in framed or shaded boxes, using \background. However, the background doesn't stretch to the bottom of the text area when there is text preceding it, so if there is enough math inside the background, the math overruns its lower bound. How can I get everything to stay inside the background? A minimal example: \starttext \input knuth \startbackground \input knuth \dorecurse{20}{\startformula \sum_{i=0}^5 i \stopformula} \stopbackground \stoptext I've tried some of the options in \setupbackground with no luck, and have also tried Googling for an answer. Thanks, Nick

Re: [NTG-context] using variable for subscript in math+lua
by Jeong Dal 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Thanks to all who gave a nice solutions. To write a big matrix of unknowns A=(a_{ij}) is not a frequent case. In math, there are many occasions to write matrices which need some typing work like \NC 2 \NC 3 \NC 4 \NR So if we have a function which write a matrix when the data is given as a form of table in Lua. There are other benefits. Sometimes, we may have to write a series matrices which are the results of the some row operations in matrix. We can also handle it conveniently because we can do some calculations in Lua. If there is a way to convey some table data from ConTeXt to Lua, it would be more convenient. Here is an example which I did by your help. I hope that you experts can make it more useful. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung \starttext \startluacode matrixfunction = matrixfunction or {} -- recommended: use namespace matrixfunction.print_matrixA = function () context.startmatrix{left = "\\left(\\,", right = "\\,\\right)"} local schema1 = "a_{%d%d}" -- %d: prints integer part local schema2 = "a_{%d%s}" local schema3 = "a_{%s%d}" for i=1, 3 do for j=1, 3 do context.NC() context(schema1, i, j) end context.NC() context("\\cdots") context.NC() context(schema2, i, "n") context.NR() end for j = 1, 3 do context.NC() context("\\vdots") end context.NC() context("\\ddots") context.NC() context("\\vdots") context.NR() for i=1, 3 do context.NC() context(schema3, "m", i) end context.NC() context("\\cdots") context.NC() context("a_{mn}") context.NR() context.stopmatrix() end matrixfunction.print_matrix = function (t) context.startmatrix{left = "\\left(\\,", right = "\\,\\right)"} for _, r in ipairs(t) do for _, c in ipairs(r) do context.NC(c) end context.NR() end context.stopmatrix() end matrixfunction.rowChange = function(t, i, j) -- interchange two rows(i-th, j-th) t[i] , t[j]= t[j], t[i] end matrixfunction.rowMult = function(t, i, m) -- replace i-th row with m*(i-th row) local len len = #(t[i]) for k = 1, len do t[i][k] = m*t[i][k] end end matrixfunction.rowMultSum = function(t, i, j, m) -- replace i-th row with i-th row + m*(j-th row) local len len = #(t[1]) for k = 1, len do t[i][k] = t[i][k] + m*t[j][k] end end \stopluacode \startformula\startluacode matrixfunction.print_matrixA() \stopluacode\stopformula \startformula\startalign \startluacode local mat = {{0, 2, 4, -4, 1},{0, 0, 2, 3 , 4}, {2, 2, -6, 2, 4 }, {2,0 , -6, 9, 7}} context.NC("\\text{Given matrix}\\quad\\Rightarrow\\quad") context.NC() matrixfunction.print_matrix(mat) context.NR() context.NC() context("{\\bf r}_1 \\leftrightarrow {\\bf r}_3 \\quad\\Rightarrow\\quad") matrixfunction.rowChange(mat, 1, 3) context.NC() matrixfunction.print_matrix(mat) context.NR() context.NC() context("\\frac{1}{2}{\\bf r}_1 \\rightarrow {\\bf r}_1 \\quad\\Rightarrow\\quad") matrixfunction.rowMult(mat, 1, 1/2) context.NC() matrixfunction.print_matrix(mat) context.NR() context.NC() context("-2{\\bf r}_1 + {\\bf r}_4 \\rightarrow {\\bf r}_4 \\quad\\Rightarrow\\quad") matrixfunction.rowMultSum(mat, 4, 1, -2) context.NC() matrixfunction.print_matrix(mat) context.NR() context.NC() context("{\\bf r}_2 \\leftrightarrow {\\bf r}_3 \\quad\\Rightarrow\\quad") matrixfunction.rowChange(mat, 2, 3) context.NC() matrixfunction.print_matrix(mat) context.NR() \stopluacode \stopalign\stopformula \stoptext

A problem with \blank
by Marcin Borkowski 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Good evening, I have something like this in my document: \startalignment[middle] ... \stopalignment \startitemize ... \stopitemize and I want some (more) vertical space in between them. Adding a \blank[big] (and even a \blank[big,force]) didn't help. Interestingly, \leavevmode\blank[big] did. What is going on? What is the "canonical" way to achieve what I want to have?

using variable for subscript in math+lua
by Jeong Dal 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Dear Hans, Lucas, Wolfgang, Aditya Now, I write a matrix using \startluacode by the helps of you. Also, I can do some operations in matrices which reduced my typing job. In this code, I have to give all the entries of a matrix as a table. It is good to use in many cases. I have one more question. If the given array is as the following and it works well. %%%%%%%% \starttext \startluacode printMatrix = function (t) context.startmatrix{left = "\\left(\\,", right = "\\,\\right)"} for _, r in ipairs(t) do for _, c in ipairs(r) do context.NC(c) end context.NR() end context.stopmatrix() end \stopluacode \startformula \startluacode local mat={{"a_{11}","a_{12}","a_{13}"},{"a_{21}","a_{22}","a_{23}"},{"a_{31}","a_{32}","a_{33}"}} printMatrix(mat) \stopluacode \stopformula \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%% However, there might be a better way to do job using "for" iteration. I tired to use "i, j" in several ways but it doesn't work. function printMatrixA() context.startmatrix{left = "\\left(\\,", right = "\\,\\right)"} for i=1,3 do for j=1, 3 do context.NC("a_{ij}") end context.NR() end context.stopmatrix() end %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Is there a way to do such a job using "for" iteration? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

A few questions about itemizations
by Marcin Borkowski 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hi all, this code: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \defineitemgroup[subitems] \setupitemgroup[subitems][each][a,packed][left=(,stopper=)] \starttext \startitemize[n] \startitem Lorem ipsum \startsubitems \startitem dolor \stopitem \startitem sit \stopitem \startitem amet. \stopitem \stopsubitems \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% behaves differently if I change \startsubitems into \startitemize[a,packed][left=(,stopper=)]. Namely, the vertical space before (a) ... does not appear when using \startsubitems. Why is that so? When I want to put the vertical space before the first subitem by means of before={\blank[small]}, nothing happens. Also, is \startitem ... \stopitem really better than \item ...? (Apart from the case when I use the [random] option.) And finally: what is the difference between "right=)" and "stopper=)"?

Section/head with separate numbering and references
by Jason Brown 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hello, I'm working on a document with both chapter/section numbering, and a 'topic' whose numbers are sequential across the entire document. I found a solution to enable this from a 2003 thread in the archives ("Creating list with separate numbering", 15 April 2003), but I can't seem to get references to work. I've looked through the archives, read The TeXbook, and browsed the ConTeXt source but can't quite figure out how to make this work. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKII fmt: 2011.7.3 int: english/english Example below: ----------------------------------- % "topic" numbering \definehead [Topic] [subsection] \setuphead [Topic] [ownnumber=yes,number=yes,numberstyle=normal,numbercolor=darkgray,textstyle=\it,alternative=inmargin,header=empty,inbetween=,after=] % use a label text \setuplabeltext[Topic=\S] % increment and feed \newcounter\TopicNumber \def\topic[#1]#2 {\doglobal\increment\TopicNumber \Topic{\TopicNumber}{#2}} \starttext \section{Tufte} \input tufte \topic[topic:SomeTopic]{Some topic.} Here we will discuss a particular topic. \topic[topic:AnotherTopic]{Another topic.} Let's expand on the previous topic. \topic[topic:AGreatTopic]{A great topic.} I can go on like this all day. \section{Another Tufte} \input tufte \topic[topic:SomeOtherTopic]{Some other topic.} Recall in \in{\S}[topic:AnotherTopic] that we extended blah blah from \in{\S}[topic:SomeTopic] and noted that... \stoptext ----------------------------------- Thanks, Jason

Re: [NTG-context] using variable for subscript in math+lua (and math+MetaFun)
by Jeong Dal 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Dear Gesang and Hans, Your solution is working nicely. I may use lua to simplify my other work. I'd like to ask you one more thing. I tried to write a matrix using MetaFun to add some graphics as following: label(btex $a_{11}$ etex, ( , )); label(btex $a_{12}$ etex, ( , )); label(btex $a_{13}$ etex, ( , )); … label(btex $a_{3,3}$ etex, ( , )); Since the same command is repeated, I tested to use "for" iteration. But I couldn't succeed. It is OK to use the variable as a text but I couldn't find a way to use a variable as a subscript. For example, for i=1 unto 3: label(btex decimal(i) etex, (x,y)); endfor; is OK. But, for i=1 upto 3: label(btex $a_{i}$ etex, (x,y)); endfor; or for i=1 upto 3: label(btex $a_{deciaml(i)}$ etex, (x,y)); endfor; are not working as I wanted. Is there a way to use variable as a subscript in "label"? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Some odd behaviour I noticed in MkIV with respect to enumerations
by Shane Peelar 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello everyone, I was going through a tutorial to learn how to set up theorem-like environments in ConTeXt: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf and I noticed a few strange behaviours. I recognize that this tutorial was written for MkII ConTeXt, but after consulting the documentation in the latest ConTeXt manual and the wiki, I have determined that these features should still work. I'm looking at the "list" functionality of enumerations and descriptions. In MkII, you can do the following: \defineenumeration[blah][ ... list=listname, listtext={Text goes here}] and every time the enumeration is used, it'll be placed in the list you specify. The tutorial referenced above uses this to place a list of theorems with proper naming and numbering, as well as lemmas and other math things. In MkIV, I noticed that this functionality doesn't work, or at least not in the same way. I was not able to do: \placelist[enumeration:listname] for example. I was able to do \placelist[blah], however. After scouring this mailing list and consulting the source code, I haven't been able to find anything that would give me this functionality in MkIV. Was this intentional, or is there another way to get this functionality back? The other strangeness I noticed was the "separator" option in defineenumeration. Normally one could do: \defineenumeration[blah2][ ... separator=--] and things would work as they should, however this doesn't seem to work in MkIV. The last piece of functionality I noticed was not being able to set the number style in defineenumeration (which again works in MkII, tested this morning), like so: \defineenumeration[blah3][ numberstyle=bold] The wiki shows that these options should all be there, and they appear to be at least referenced in the source code, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to really give a good judgment of that. I noticed in one file "strc-des.mkiv" it says in a comment "lists and titles are experimental". Could anyone please help me out with these features? Thanks, Shane Peelar

TABLE: header with a thick bottom line

Hello, how to achieve the table header to have a thick bottom line? Here are my two attempts: ---- \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR[bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm]\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE Or even better: \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm,align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext ---- As you can see, in both cases all header cells are surrounded by a thick border; but only the bottom border should be. How to achieve it? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Suppressing Page Numbers
by Malte Stien 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi, Thank you again for all the great help, I have received here in recent weeks; it is much appreciated. I have page numbering setup in my layout.tex environment file, which I use for all of our documents. % Show the page number in the middle of the footer \setuppagenumbering[ alternative=singlesided, location={header, margin}, style=bold, ] For a particular document, though, I don't want page numbers. Is there a way of locally suppressing the page numbers while still importing (via environment) the layout.tex file? I guess, what I am asking is, is there a way to "override" the setuppagenumbering setup locally? A workaround would be to have a second layout.tex file, just for this document, but I much prefer not to. Regards, Malte.

[test suite] Bibtex-related test fails to compile.
by Marco Pessotto 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

I've imported most of the testfiles kindly provided by Hans. Now the test suite has grown to ~900 files. I'm running them in chunks and I'll keep reporting, even if I don't need the feature. If you prefer me to post to another list, please let me know. https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite/tree/master/src/m… collapse-001.tex fails to compile. See below the log. progressive-005.tex picks a different LM font, but probably because I don't have the required fonts installed and it's using a different one as fallback (I don't know which one is supposed to be the good one, probably noone :-). The other differences are just due to different distances, so I'm promoting them to references.

The one typeset with mkii has the correct output, while the one with mkiv is not correct (the spacing of the bounds of the integrals and the spacing between the integrals when they are invoked with \iint or \iiint are incorrect). (I tried this with ConTeXt version 2012-10-22, 11:01). > The « reference » output should be the file « math-integral-mkii-2012-10-22.pdf » Keep in mind that mkiv and mkii will never produce the same results (e.g.: more granularity in font metrics in mkiv, less juggling with combined shapes in mkiv, etc). SO, it can never be the pixel wise reference. The issue with italic correction is complex. First of all italic corrections are a tex thing while in otf advanced kerning mechanism is used. This means that the engine has to deal with traditional as well ad new mechanisms. In the process of developing luatex and mkiv, we went through several phases, one is that the italic correction had to be added to the width (a handicap is that luatex has to make some guesses, and the mkiv vf is a wide font on the one hand but still a traditional one). Anyhow, already quite a while ago, mkiv got two mechanisms to deal with italic correction, one for text and one for math (otf text fonts have no italic correction). Both mechanism can be configured to adapt themselves to the situation. For math we have 4 variants. \setupmathematics[italics=1] % fontitalics \setupmathematics[italics=2] % fontdata \setupmathematics[italics=3] % quad based \setupmathematics[italics=4] % combination of 1 and 3 \setupmathematics[italics=none] Depending on available italic info or the lack of it, correction is applied. Of course this can be improved. Once they are complete, we can make the new gyre math fonts default and some of the problems will go away. The virtuals will then be kept as an example of defining virtual fonts. Concerning the issue: i removed adding the italic correction to the width (something that was needed in a previous version of luatex).

Hello, there is a color "red:3" noticed at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Colors. However, the following code doesn't work with color "red:3" specification: ---- \starttext \showcolor[rgb] \color[red]{AAA} \color[red:3]{AAA} \stoptext ---- So, how it the matter with using "red:3" correctly?

I made a backup of the old context version (for Taco: current-backup) and updated to current (2012.05.30 11:26), but it doesn't work at all. It says "pdfcrop failed", but my impression is that not even the temporary folder to store the tex file (and compile the pdf) gets generated. This issue needs Taco's help. (I can easily revert to the old version by renaming the folder, but sooner or later we need to upgrade the version.) I didn't touch wiki sources at all. Mojca

making horizontal space in luacode.
by Jeong Dal 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Dear all, 1. I'd like to make a horizontal space using \hspace[3em] inside luacode. But context.hspace({3em}), context.hspace({"3em"}), context.hspace("3em") don't work. And print(" ") doesn't work either. How to make some horizontal space in luacode? 2. There is no white line even though I put "\blank[big]" between Frame(bring it from MetaFun) and text as in the following example. \starttext %%%%%%%% framed Text \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric o ; path a, b ; pair c ; p := textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; o := BodyFontSize ; a := unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) ; p := p shifted (2o,OverlayHeight-ypart center p) ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red) ; b := a superellipsed .95 ; %fill b withcolor .85white ; draw b ; b := (boundingbox p) superellipsed .95 ; fill b withcolor .425green;%.85white ; draw b ; draw p withcolor black ; setbounds currentpicture to a ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame, offset=\bodyfontsize, width=\overlaywidth]%.8\textwidth] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame {\stopFunnyText} \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut\ss\bf\white #1\hss}}} This is a test line file for blank spaces. \blank[big] % white line is wanted {\FrameTitle{Test} \StartFrame \startitemize[n] \item the first line. \item the second line. \item the third line. \stopitemize \StopFrame } \blank[big] % white line is wanted Here is another test line. \stoptext What should I do to make a blank line before and after Thank you.

Test suite report
by Marco Pessotto 21 Oct '12

21 Oct '12

Hello there. Aditya added a couple of testfiles. Thanks a lot. I encourage anyone reporting bugs to send a minimal example to me too, via mail or via pull requests on github, so people running the tests can catch regressions. I modified the code, so a unique filename for each test is not required anymore. I promoted to references the PDF which have a minimal shifting, because they generated too much noise, but I left one just as a reminder of the different distance between columns. Issue still pending (as far as I know): https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite/blob/master/src/b… > Number should continue.There are several long lines. Are the numbers correctly > managed with long lines? > \startcode[continue] But it doesn't continue and it's reset to 1. Cheers -- Marco

Help with Long Titles
by Malte Stien 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hello, I am using a the startsetups mechanism that defines a title page in my environment file. That way anyone creating a document in my organisation can create a new document and get a consistent look of the title page. There is one problem with this: On occasions I get very long document titles and then the title extends over the left-hand edge of the page. I would like to incorporate a new line into the document title; I'd even be happy to do that manually, ie. it does not have to be automatic. There are two problems here: 1. I had not had any success with putting a newline into the title; it will need to be not where the titlepage is defined but where it is used (see below). I have tried \par and \\ and none of them work. 2. Assuming I found a way to do this, I would need to also find a way of reducing the \blank[170mm] by the amount that the second line of the title takes up to render the information down the bottom in roughly the same place. If push comes to shove, I could create a second titlepage setup for two-line titles, but I much rather not. Is there a solution to that? Is there maybe a way to position the information down the bottom absolute? Here is minimal example (or something very close to that): % The title page \startsetups titlepage \startstandardmakeup[style=sans] \blank[50mm] \rightaligned{\bfd\getvariable{titlepage}{project}} \textrule \rightaligned{\tfc\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{title}}} \blank[170mm] \starttabulate[|plf{\tfa}|prf{\tfa}|] \NC\tfa\copyright\thinspace Pearson Pty Ltd \NC \getvariable{titlepage}{author} \NC\NR \TB[small] \NC \color[darkgray]{Commercial in Confidence} \NC \color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{version}} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \tfx Uncontrolled copy if printed. \stopstandardmakeup \stopsetups % ...and this is how it is being used \starttext \setvariables [titlepage] [set=\texsetup{titlepage}, project={Pearson}, title={This document title is very long, so I'd like to \par break it into two lines}, author={Tony Mueller}, version={Version 1.0.0}] \stoptext Thank you very much for all the help I have received so far.

ConTeXt unofficial test suite stub
by Marco Pessotto 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hello there! TL;DR: https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite A week ago I had a conversation with mpfusion and another user over IRC about the ConTeXt test suite. mpfusion had a tarball with some test and an elaborate machinery to see if the testfiles compile. He kindly provided the tarball, and I took the liberty to do it my way (I didn't hear back from him, I assume he's working on his solution), using the testfiles and rewriting the code. My solution is quite simple, is written in perl (300 lines all included) and probably is not portable to non-unix machines. It uses imagemagick and pdftoppm to raster the PDF, and it's resonably fast (with a trick to speed up the difference parsing). It produces an ascii table like this: ./run-test.pl --run Using /usr/local/bin/context mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.52 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2012.05.30 11:26 ................. | File name | Success | Differs Avg | Worst value | Pages | Time | | arrows-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | catcodes-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | columnsets-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 10 | 4 | | date-002 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | dates-001 | OK | 0.605634 | 0.605634 | 1 | 2 | | dates-002 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 3 | | hsv-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 8 | 5 | | inclusion | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | metapost-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | metapost-002 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | mixed-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 2 | 2 | | narrower-bidi-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 4 | 2 | | ppchtex-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | ppchtex-005 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | ppchtex-006 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 2 | | spot-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 3 | | tables-001 | OK | 0.000000 | 0.000000 | 1 | 1 | It leaves the visual diffs as png images under diffs/ I'd like to know if there is some interest in this thing, as (obviously) the test suit is not really populated to have any kind of value.

making tables with lua
by Jeong Dal 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Dear all, I used code which generates the table as following: \startluacode local NC, NR, HL, VL = context.NC, context.NR, context.HL, context.VL context.starttabulate { "|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|" } HL() for i=1, 6, 1 do for j=1,10 ,1 do k= i % 3 if k==1 then VL() context(10*(i - k)/3+j) else VL() end end VL() NR() if k==0 then HL() end end context.stoptabulate() \stopluacode But it has a fixed column definition as "|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|" and the number of columns. I wonder it is possible to use the variable for "j" to control the number of columns and the column setting. Of course, I may put similar codes which are different only in the number of columns and column settings when I need a table. But I have many similar tables whose number of columns are different only. If such a method is possible, I'd like to put such a code in \startbuffer…\stopbudffer and call it to generate tables of various number of columns given at each time. I also don't know whether it is possible to convey a number from ConTeXt to the variable in Lua code. I write this email because I saw a hope in recent discussion "Re: Fwd: Need help with \definetabulate" which has a method to vary the column setting. \definetabulate [whatever] [|l|r|] \definetabulate [whatever][else] [|l|c|r|] It may be a lazy man's question with no need for others. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Marco, > \definetabulate [alpha] [|l|l|l|] > \setuptabulate [alpha] [bodyfont=small] This does not work for me quite the way I need it to. I am really just after defining the font-size, but I would like to leave the column setup to the user (I am building an environment and that I would like everyone in my team to use to ensure a consistent look-and-feel or all documents).

scale=... and specifying the width and height of a figure
by Aditya Mahajan 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, If scale option for a figure is set, \externalfigure does not honor the width and the height parameters. For example \externalfigure[cow][width=1cm, height=3cm, scale=750] gives a figure which has the usual aspect ratio. I know that settings scale=... along with width and height does not make sense. But, in one of my project, I set \setupexternalfigures[scale=750] as that makes sense for most of the figures, and if I try to use \externalfigure[cow][width=1cm, height=3cm] then the aspect ratio of the figures does not change. Not sure if this should be classified as a bug, but I am posting it here in case anyone else encounters the same issue and needs to know how to override this behavior: \externalfigure[cow][width=1cm, height=3cm, scale=] Aditya

Total Number of Pages

Hi, How would I go about inserting the total number of pages in my document? I assume this would require two passes of texec or context. I've tried Googling and checking ConTeXt garden, but couldn't find anything regarding this. Thanks again, Nick

Hallo, after so many of you helped me, I want to give back. I just made my t-pararef module public for everyone: http://modules.contextgarden.net/pararef http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Paragraph_Referencing Please feel free to send me comments about the coding style and what I could have done in a better way. E.g. the interface file is missing, but I don't know how it should look like. But I hope mainly that it will prove beneficial for some of you. H.

Vertical positioning of floats within itemize
by Marcin Borkowski 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

It's me again! This doesn't quite work as expected (at least by me, that is;)): \starttext \startitemize \startitem \placefigure[right,high,none]{}{\framed[width=3cm,height=2cm]{!}} \input knuth \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext (Namely, at the beginning of the \item there is something like a "blank line".) If I move \placefigure before \startitem, it looks better, but this seems to be a nasty hack. Do you have any idea how to achieve this effect in a more elegant way? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

ConTeXt inputs files from TEXMF/doc
by Mojca Miklavec 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hello, I used \externalfigure[background] in a document (and I forgot to compile the local file background.tex) and ended up with a pleasant surprise: the command included /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/doc/latex/background/background.pdf instead of complaining that the file doesn't exist. Shouldn't ConTeXt prevent inclusion of documents from "doc"? Mojca PS: tested with ConTeXt from TeX Live (as is probably evident from the fact that the file from TL has been found).

Controlling vertical position of floats
by Marcin Borkowski 16 Oct '12

Hi again, \placefigure[right,<option>]{caption}{figure} does different things with option being (a) empty, (b) high, (c) low. Could anyone explain to me the exact meaning of these three alternatives? Also, is it possible to manually fine-tune the vertical position, so that the figure seems optically aligned with the surrounding text?

Numbering subformulas
by Otared Kavian 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hi Aditya, It seems that numbering subformulas as described in your « My Way » magazine entitled « Using \startalign » does not work with mkiv. The following minimal example taken from page 6 of the above mentioned manual, does not result in what is described there: \starttext \placesubformula \startformula \startalign \NC a_1 x + b_1 y \NC = c_1 \NR[eq:c][c] \NC a_2 x + b_2 y \NC = c_2 \NR[eq:d][d] \stopalign \stopformula (\in[eq:c]) and (\in[eq:d]) form a linear system of equations. \stoptext Is this a known bug?

Index and Publications suddenly remain empty???
by Sander Maijers 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Dear ConTeXt users, I am bothered by this seemingly simple problem that suddenly occurred these days, while the same TeX code produced the Index and Publications chapters properly when compiling the document last May. I use the latest stable version (from May 2012) of ConTeXt on a recent Linux with TeXLive 2012 and bibtex 0.99d. The PATH is correct. The bad PDF: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… The environment: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… The text source files for the Publications and Index chapters: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… All files: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… I have been trying to solve this this evening and finally I decided to move from ConTeXt stable to the beta version, but now I cannot get *any* PDF output anymore ... Can anyone spot problems with the TeX source code that prevent the document compilation, with whichever version of ConTexT??? Kind regards, Sander Maijers

Once, I've read about someone who, a long time ago, found it really difficult to look for pages related to LaTeX on the internet. He used to get a lot of "fetish" related pages!!! Since "context" is a very common word, I'd like to know from ConTeXt users... How do you look for "ConTeXt" stuff using search engines? Cheers, André Caldas.

bug?: component inside component
by Zenlima 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

Hi, I tried to recompile a book (no project file, 1 product file, many component files) the first time for a while - but now it breaks with weird and random error messages. It starts when I have a component inside a component.. but only when I have more than just a few pages text. And is stops with e.g. "a missing bracket", "one bracket more than needed", "math module missing" etc etc. It is definitely not one of the reported errors.. and the error message changes as I add or remove some text (letters, paragraph). Also I realized that references over components borders don't work any more (they link to an external document: componentname.pdf). Is this a known bug? I found some remarks regarding broken references over component borders. Does there exists any other way of integrating tex-file into tex-files for context? I will continue trying to isolate the error.. but atm it tricks me pretty well. Thanks in advance H.

Problem with ConTeXt (MkIV), Hebrew and ligatures
by Simo Ojala 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

This is a problem originally posted in TeX/StackExchange. However, since I have not had any luck in finding a solution I post it here too. I am confident that somebody here should know the answer. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73970/problem-with-context-mkiv-hebr… "Since I last played with the latest ConTeXt MkIV, there has been introduced this new feature. It now seems to combine Hebrew characters automatically when possible to ligatures. So for example. If I have a word with following two characters: U+05D5 (HEBREW LETTER VAV) U+05BC (HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ) ConTeXt will combine these to: U+FB35 (HEBREW LETTER VAV WITH DAGESH) However, I would need to disable this feature for a number of reasons. For example, this breaks my little database query, because the query key is changed before(?) macro gets it. So if somebody would know how to turn this off and maybe also that what has changed."

\unit and french
by Romain Diss 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi all, As you know, the french number format is almost opposite to the english one: period and comma have opposite roles. My question concerns the way to render properly numbers in french with the \unit command. I already tried different combinations of \setupunit[method=,order=] but I can’t find the right way. I tried even to type french or english format as input for \unit but none output is right (actually I'd prefer to type french format as \unit input). Also, when there are "three digits" separators on both sides of the decimal point, some method outputs are not consistent. I attached a not so minimal exemple. Thanks for any idea to solve this. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Symbolsets, using Unicode symbols?
by Mari Voipio 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

Hello! I'm having one of those ConTeXt moments when I feel really stupid, but I just cannot figure this out.... I'd need the heart symbol. You know, the one that goes on Facebook as <3. I think it is this Unicode symbol: ♥ U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT ♥ or ♥ or &hearts; I'm using the LucidaOT (Unicode) font and my Mac should have some other of the basic symbol sets, but I just cannot figure out how to use the above knowledge to dish out the heart. (TeX culture shock, I think, I don't care about gazillion maths operators, I want my Dingbats and other little decorations.) I found the Symbols wiki page at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols, but cannot figure out how to implement it: - the command \usesymbols[uni] gives 'symbols > unknown: library 'uni'' in the log. - the command \showsymbolset is just as hopeless: command \showsymbolset not found in file symb-run So, what bit in that process have I missed or not understood? I'm running mkIV in ConTeXt version Aug 17, 2012 in a Mac laptop. As Unicode and all that have been around for ages, this problem must be one of those you find between the chair and the screen! Thank you, Mari

Chapters without chapter number
by Pavel Hanák 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hi all, I would like to ask what is the best way to achieve this: The title line of the chapter should be without the chapter number, but the chapter number should be on all subsequent pages in the header. I tried this: \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, number=no ] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]. \getmarking[chapter]}] which makes the title of the chapter on the first page correctly without the chapter number, but then I have no chapter number on subsequent pages in the header. It looks like setting "number=no" in \setuphead definition breaks my expected behaviour of marking. So I tried: \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, sectionnumber=no ] but id didn't work either. So I ended by: \def\MyChapterTitle#1#2{#2}% \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, command=\MyChapterTitle, ] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]. \getmarking[chapter]}] which is working like expected, but I wonder, why I am not able to achieve the result using keywords "number" or "sectionnumber". Thanks. Pavel

punctuation vs font switch
by Andreas Mang 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Dear all, at the risk of being met with an incredulous shake of the head: I am using xits as math font and pagella as main font (for several reasons). Obviously, the punctuation (in particular "comma") does not match. Is there an easy and quick global fix!? Your help is very much appreciated. Cheers, Andreas % minimal example \starttypescript [myface] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [rm] [serif] [pagella] [default] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [mm] [math] [xits] [default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[myface,11pt] \starttext $1{,}2$ 1,2 % difference $1\text{,}2$ % not so nice work around and problematic since the font size does not change (superscript, subscript,...) \stoptext % stop minimal example P.S. Clearly, this does not matter for formulas but its different for inline (in text) math expressions.

Alignment in combination

Hi, how to left align the elements of a combination? \useMPlibrary [dum] \setupexternalfigures [height=2cm] \starttext %% does nothing: \setupcombinations [align=flushleft] \startcombination [2*2] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm]} {} \stopcombination \blank[2cm] %% desired: \startcombination [2*2] {\kern-2cm\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\kern-1cm\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm]} {} \stopcombination \stoptext Marco

Strange behaviour by processing a project file
by pavel＠hanak.name 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello, I have the following file structure: * file "my-project.tex" contains: \environment my-environment \startproject my-project \product my-product1 \product my-product2 \stopproject * file "my-environment.tex" contains: ... font definitions, style definitions etc. * file "my-product1.tex" contains: \project my-project \startproduct my-product1 ... \stopproduct * file "my-product2.tex" contains: \project my-project \startproduct my-product2 ... \stopproduct Now, when I process the product1 with "context my-product1.tex" I get the output in my-product1.pdf as expected. But when I try to process the whole project with "context my-project.tex", the file is processed but I get no pdf output, which surprise me, because in the reference manual contextref.pdf I read: "In principal a project file contains only a list of products and environments. If you would process the project file all products will be placed in one document. This is seldom wanted." So I would expect to get one pdf outputfile with all products. Could anyone explain me, why I don't get any pdf output? Best regards Pavel

TABLE and row/column align settings
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello, I have a complicated TABLE, but I simplified it to the following example: ---- \def\DoTable#1{% \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=2cm] \setupTABLE[column][#1][align=flushright] % ....................................................... [1] \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % Settings for ALL columns in the row 1 should be overwritten ... [2] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH a\eTH \bTH b\eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD a\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \starttext No column specification: \DoTable{} With column specification: \DoTable{2} \stoptext ---- The problem is that row #1 should be mid-aligned in all columns. So I wrote: ---- \setupTABLE[column][2][align=flushright] % Column #2 has its own alignment... \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % ... but overwrite here for the whole row #1 (including column #2) ---- But column #2 keeps the previously assigned alignment. The situation doesn't change even if I swap [1] and [2] (for the case "the earlier setting, the higher priority"). Moreover, if the column number if not specified (\DoTable{}), the row setting overwrites setting for ALL columns; so only if the column is specified precisely, its setting is kept. So how to overwrite row #1 setting globally? And how setting priorities are evaluated? I guessed the later specification, the higher weight (which would allow overwriting)... Note that in the example it would be possible to specify settings for each row/column, but it not useful way in the case of more/very complicated tables. TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Split \starttabulates
by Malte Stien 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Dear all, I have a number of tables defined like this: \placetable[here][tab:some-table]{Some Table} \starttabulate[|w(.30\textwidth)p|w(.70\textwidth)p|] \HL \NC {\bf Animal} \NC {\bf Comment} \NC\FR \HL \NC Cat \NC Pretty cool \NC\MR \NC Bear \NC Kind of lazy \NC\MR \NC Sheep \NC Always hungry \NC\MR \HL \stoptabulate However, I need one of these tables to split over adjacent pages, which according to the documentation should be achievable with \setuptabulate[split=yes] However, that does not seem to work in connection with the \placetable line. That is, if I put that last line in front of the block mentioned above, the table does still not split across adjacent pages. I have to remove the \placetable line for the \setuptabulate line to have any effect, except then I loose my caption and can no longer cross-reference to table either. Any clues? Thank you, Malte.

xits font: some spacing and scaling problems
by Andreas Mang 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi there, Not quite sure if this is the right place. I wanted to send this directly to Khaled Hosny, but then I thought it might be good to have some additional opinion on some of these issues (I am not quite sure if some of this is intended behaviour). I have collected some examples for which I think there are some scaling and spacing problems in xits. Also, small caps are not supported. Is this intended?! Thanks for your help. Cheers, Andreas %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbodyfont[xits,11pt] \starttext $\diamond$ % too small?! $\square$ % OK?! $\blacktriangleright$ % too big?! $\blacktriangleleft$ % too big?! $\blacktriangle$ % too big?! $\blacktriangledown$ % too big?! {\sc Word} % not supported ?! $\tilde{W}^i$ $W^i$ % using a superscript in case % an accent is used results in % a too small distance between letter % and superscript $f^i$ % distance too small (seems to be just the case for $f$, see e.g. $h^i$ $t^i$) \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%

Some align observations
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hello, I'm just curious: I tried to apply align specification to \b/e-TABLE, inframed, \start/stop-alignment and \start/stop-tabulate: ---- \setupbodyfont[11pt] \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=4cm,align=middle] \setupTABLE[column][1][align=left] \setupTABLE[column][4][align=right] \bTR \bTD ali=L\eTD \bTD B\eTD \bTD \inframed[width=1.5cm,align=left]{ali=L}\eTD \bTD ali=R\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \startalignment[left] \input tufte \stopalignment \starttabulate[|pl|pc|pr|] \NC ali=L \input tufte\NC\input tufte\NC ali=R \input tufte\NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- The text aligned by "align=left" inside TABLE cell, inside \inframed and inside \startalignment is aligned to the right border of the "bounding box" (ragged left). The text aligned by "align=left" inside \start/stop-tabulate is aligned to the left edge of the "bounding box". I must admit than tabulate's behavior seems more natural to me, but this may be just my point of view. Anyway, why the behavior of alignment specification is different for {\b/e-TABLE, \inframed, \start/stop-alignment} and {\start/stop-tabulate}? Wouldn't be nice to unite it?

Hi, chemical structures and reactions produce wrong results.

counter reseting at every heading
by Peter Schorsch 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hi, few months ago (18th may) I asked about how to setup a counter that resets after each heading (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection and so on. I got three possibilities then but none of them was implemented (and still is not): 1) \definecounter[ParagraphNumber][prefix=no,way={bychapter,bysection,bysubsection,bysubsubsection}] 2) \definecounter[ParagraphNumber][prefix=no,way=byheader] 3) \setuphead[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection][after={\resetcounter[ParagraphNumber]}] as soon the spaces are defined over spaceafter instead of after. Is there a forth option out? Or can anyone tell me what the defaults spaces are so that I can copy them manually? Thanks P.

mkiv: way to signal extra run(s)
by Peter Rolf 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Hi, just wondering. Is there a official way to signal ConTeXt from a module, that an extra run is needed? I started thinking about adding bookkeeping for the created run time graphics. Graphic related changes can then be detected and, if necessary, extra runs can be started to update the changed graphics. I need the second run to create and start the ImageMagick batch script, but the collected info in the *.tuc file prevents ConTeXt from starting a second/third run. Currently I use a batch file that simply deletes the *.tuc file and then calls 'context'. As there is no bookkeeping, all the graphics are recreated then. Peter
