xmlinclude
by Meer, H. van der 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Can someone tell me what \xmlinclude is supposed to do? I have experimented a lot but didn't come further to an understanding. I have called it through: \startxmlsetups xam:include \xmlinclude{#1}{include}{file} \stopxmlsetups from a node include in: <problem><include file="functions.xml"/></problem> and indeed \enabletrackers[lxml.loading]gives me in the log: xml > tex > loading file './xm-test-problem.xml' as 'problem' But then nothing seemed to have happened. The xml-node in that file is never seen. I checked that by listing all these nodes in the log (\xmlcommand{\xmldocument}..) The <include> and others are listed, but not the contents of the file I thought I had included. Clearly I have some misunderstanding here as to what the manual implicates. It states: "\xmlinclude{node}{lpath}{attribute} includes the file specified by attribute of the element located by lpath at node node." I take this 'node' ast the node from where the lpath is rooted, but I might be mistaken. And most of all: what happens to the included file and how can I approach/use its contents? I would appreciate an enlightment. Thanks in advance. Hans van der Meer

[OT] WinEDT with Unicode support
by Mojca Miklavec 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello, WinEDT finally has Unicode support and the screenshot shows ConTeXt in typesetting menu as well (no idea if that runs texexec or context). http://winedt.com It has been my first TeX editor and I liked it a lot because of newbie-friendliness (lots of tex characters in menu, so no need to remember all commands, no need to deal with command line). I'm not sure how well it is adapted for ConTeXt users and it is windows only, but it has always been my nearly favourite editor. It supports both TeX Live 2011 and latest MikTeX. (Maybe I could ask Alex for additional support for ConTeXt distribution :) Mojca

figures' captions

Hi, this is continuing of my last question.

placefigure vs grid problem

overprinting of black text – solved
by Honza Hejzl 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello, I have solved my old question connected with preflight and overprinting of pure text. Now I am able to have clean output, the last warning (just info) is about the fact context files have fonts embedded like CID Type 1 fonts. I am using this colors setup: \definecolor[cmykblack][c=0,m=0,y=0,k=1] \setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=yes,spot=yes,textcolor=cmykblack,intent=overprint] This works well for the body. For footnotes I need to use this: \def\numfoo#1{\startcolorintent[overprint] #1 \stopcolorintent} \setupnotation[footnote][numbercommand=\numfoo,before={\startcolorintent[overprint]},after={\stopcolorintent}] Just want to share that.

\setuphead and \startchapter request
by Alan BRASLAU 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

I would like to use, for example, \setuphead [chapter] [after={\placecontent\blank}] But sometimes, I would like to use something like \startchapter [number=no,incrementnumber=no,after=, title={Conclusions of the first part}] \stopchapter 1. I request to have after=, (and other setup head keywords) taken into account, or some other mechanism, so as here not to \placecontent for a specific instance of \startchapter. 2. If I have: \setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter ] % with trailing space; blank by default would there be some way to specify chapter=, (or another mechanism) to have the Chapter label blank for a specific instance of \startchapter? Thanks Alan

Wow, it is pretty confusing. The last week before I updated mkiv I used to use it for numbers aligned with the left margin of the text. It means the same like serried version but with the textblock of footnotes aligned indented: TEXT ________________ 169 sdfsf ---->sdfsdfdf 170 sdfsdf Now it just does not work and I don't know what to use instead :oO Thanks, Honza

new footnotes
by Honza Hejzl 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hello, I have tested those „new“ commands for footnotes and it seems some of them don't work properly. I like footnotes' numbers aligned to the left side of the main text. On wiki is: \setupnotation[footnote][location=left,width=1cm] \setupnote[footnote][location=page,numbercommand=] This simply does not work. I have combined location, alternative and page parameter in both commands, \setupnotation as well as \setupnote, nothing works now for me. The second bad thing is it ignores my numbercommands. It was easy to use it before when I needed numbers as not-indexed or in case I have whole notes and numbers as sans. In source for mkiv I see: \setupnotes [\c!location=\v!page, ... but simple \setupnotes[location=page] does nothing. Is the work still in progress or am I missing something? Thanks, Honza

footnotes setup
by Honza Hejzl 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi, I have installed the last standalone version from contextgarden and oops, my (few days) old file does not work properly. My "old" setup of footnotes was like: \setupfootnotedefinition[loaction=page...] \setupfootnotes[bodyfontsize=8pt, style=\ss...] Now the context does not understand to that. So I am trying to set up footnotes with \setupnote[footnote] but it seems nothing works. I am not able to use location=serried, location=page, style and so on... Is it connected with some general update? :o( Thanks, Honza

is it possible to have first and last line numbers from page?

I have asked this question before (more than twice), after I found no answer in the ConTeXt reference manual, the wiki or the mailing list. I wanted to be able to have in the headers the first and last line number from page. This feature is extremely useful when typesetting some kinds of poetry. The most basic sample would be: \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par\input knuth} \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Is that possible to achieve with ConTeXt?

hbadness crippled?
by Meer, H. van der 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Setting the distance parameter for item list to something greater than zero: \setupitemgroup[itemize][each][joinedup,packed][distance=3pt] generates in item lists overfull boxes: Overfull \hbox (3.0pt too wide). (1) At the time I teached programming we always learned students "Silence the compiler". Allthough this message does no harm (only annoying me), I wonder why is it appearing? Setting distance seems quite normal. The extra space is exactly the added distance (confirmed by varying its size.) (2) TeX used to keep silent on these messages when one set \hbadness=10000. But that does not work for me. Not even putting it right in front of \startitem content\stopitem, makes the warning go away. Is there a solution? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Color Lost when Using 'texexec' vs 'context'
by Malte Stien 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Mojca, Wolfgang, Thank you for explaining that. I had read about the two different versions MkII and MkIV, but did not realise that 'texexec' is the former while 'context' is the latter. > How old was the manual that you were reading? I got that from the "Context Manual" ("Context Manual (cont-eni).pdf"), Section 1.4, which I downloaded quite recently from the website (I have been using Context for less than 2 months). It is dated November 2001, so quite old, you're right. What should I be reading instead? Is there something newer? The reason I switched to "texexec" was this (from the "Context Manual": "During the processing of itemizations the number of items is counted. This is the case with all versions. The next pass this information is used to determine the optimal location to start a new page. So do not despair when at the first parse your itemizations do not look the way you expected. When using TEXexec this is all taken care of." Is this still a problem with "context" or is this problem somehow solved with MkIV anyway? Thank you for all your help; this mailing-list proves very helpful to a novice like me. Regards, Malte.

Hi Wolfgang, > Use also the "broad" keyword for align which makes ConTeXt more tolerant to break the line with ragged text. That did the trick. Thank you so much. Regards, Malte.

setupinterlinespace (exact setting, smaller than 1.0)
by Honza Hejzl 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hello, I am struggling with this for a very long time. I wish to know if there is any sure way how to work with setupinterlinespace when I am setting ON GRID. When bodyfont is, for my example, 9pt and I set up the interlinespace to 10.8 (i.e. 1.0 – small), there are strange line breaks in pages everywhere (as soon as the command \setupinterlinespace is used, doesn't matter how big the number of line is, the text is broken in that way (expecially when I am trying to use smaller distances). I need working on grid with the possibility to reach exact interlinespace (typically to be able to make linespacing tighter) – my editor has often very strict demands for the page range. The once result is the grid is tighter but the lines are not. According to my tests I think there is no possibility to set smaller interlinespace than 1.0, is it? Any ideas, please? Here is the result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/interlinespace.png bodyfont 9pt interlinespace 10.8 (for test) Thanks, Honza

mathml question
by Meer, H. van der 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

There is something in the processing of mathml I do not understand. I keep the xml-node in a \startxmlsetups my:setup \def\mynode{#1} \stopxmlsetups Doing \xmlflush{\mynode} does typeset the contents of mynode, but not when mynode contains a mathml tree! Then the error is: Undefined control sequence ... \MMLhack ->\let \MMLpar \par \let \par \relax \everyvbox {\let \par \MMLpar } \12>:mml:math ...}} {\automathematics }}{\MMLhack \xmlflush {#1}}\endgroup Tested it with a simple: <math xmlns='http://www.w3c.org/mathml' version='2.0'> <apply><root/> <ci> x </ci> </apply> </math> The strange thing is, when putting the mathlml tree insize <text> mathml-content </text> where: \startxmlsetups xam:text \xmltrim{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups then typesetting goes without an error! Can someone explain this behaviour? Hans van der Meer

Nearly half of the work is done now. I 've grouped lots of the ConTeXt-commands into categories (subcategories): http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands There you also find commands which are not grouped in subcategories yet. Do you have ideas for more subcategories? If you don't know how to generate them in the Wiki, write the subcategories you suggest here ... and I gladly do the necessary work in the wiki.

mathml
by Meer, H. van der 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

I have a mathml question: how to typeset properly a function with an argument: f(x)? In the ConTeXt examples for mathml I see for one: <lambda> <bvar> <ci> x </ci> </bvar> </lambda> But is there something like this for f(x), that is an "f" properly typeset? Hans van der Meer

Color Lost when Using 'texexec' vs 'context'
by Malte Stien 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hi all, I am using some darkgray in my documents, as in \color[darkgray] foo... which was working out well as long as I was processing my documents with the 'context' command. I recently started using 'texexec' instead, as in texexec --pdf definitions-acronyms-and-abbreviations.tex (which, I understand is preferable) and strangely, all of my darkgray text is now rendered black. Any ideas why the command makes a difference and what to do about it? Regards, Malte. PS: Sorry, for one of my previous emails in which I replied to the full daily digest, which resulted in a very long email to everyone. Won't happen again.

metapost fonts
by Matej Barič 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hello, In a document I'm writing I'm using urw-garamond font successfully. However I also use metaUML library for metapost where I'd like to have helvetica (or nimbus, heros, etc.). For latin modern sans, I can use this: string metauml_defaultFont; metauml_defaultFont:="ec-lmss10"; But this only works for latin modern sans (which I don't like combined with urwgaramond) but not helvetica. I've tried to use some of txfonts and tex-gyre fonts (which use helvetica/heros/nimbus for their sans-serif) by writing metauml_defaultFont:="txss" and metauml_defaultFont:="ec-qhvcb" but I get an error "pdftex (file rtxss): Font rtxss at 600 not found". I've installed the latest context standalone. Is there any other way to use helvetica in metapost/metauml or how to troubleshoot this error? Thanks, matej

Integration of all the information around ConTeXt
by Jan Heinen 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hello, with the help of ConTeXt and the ConTeXt-Mailinglist I successfully have generated a book which will be printed next week :-) Thankl you - everyone! And now I would like to give something back to ConTeXt :-) There is a lot of information around ConTeXt: Material of Hans Hagen, this very dynamic Mailinglist/Forum, the command-reference-list of Wolfgang Schuster and the Contextgarden-Wiki. I think the best what I can do for ConTeXt is helping to structure, organize and integrating the huge amount of existing information. And the wiki ist a very good place to do al this work. Since several years I am running an own wiki with mediawiki. After informing Hans, Taco and Mojca Miklavec, I no have started, to rename all the commands from reference/en/... to command/... The .htaccess takes care, that all the old names will be forwarded to the new names. Then I have build a startting-category: "ConTeXt" and every subcategory is a branch of it. So we have a tree with all the wiki-information starting at "ConTeXt". You can find this startingpoint on http://www.contextgarden.net on the right side: Categories. I have started to organize the sub-categories ... but everyone who likes ConTeXt is invited to improve the wiki. A very good help would be: All the commands of context (more than 500) are in one huge category:commands For the users it would be usefull to build subcategories for the commands. 1. login (or first register on contextgarden.net) 2. Go to a command, e.g. command/about: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/about 3. Click on edit (top of page) 4. go to the bottom of the source-code 5. add to [[category:Commands]] [[category:xxx]] xxx = new name or existing name 6. save the changes 7. now you can see the category at the bottom of the page. 8. if it is red - click on it 9. then write [[category:commands]] to link it to the tree, I hope lot's of you help at least a little bit ... it's fun :-) And it's for ConTeXt.

more indenting
by Alan Braslau 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

I'm sure that someone is going to tell me that indenting is ugly, bad typesetting practice. But if I do want to use indenting, there are times when it should be suppressed, perhaps automatically (like when immediately following a heading, as is the current practice). The minimal example below is another such situation: \startquotation\stopquotation \setupquotation [before=\noindent,after=\noindent] would be one solution, but it does not work - maybe the syntax is wrong; maybe I'm missing a critical \par. I haven't managed to figure this out myself, looking at the source code. Any suggestions? Thanks! Alan % Minimal example: \setupindenting [big,yes] \setupquotation [before=\noindent] % no effect \starttext \input tufte \startquotation \input tufte \stopquotation \noindent \input tufte \stoptext

Footnotes in combinations don't work?

Hello, slightly discussed several days ago... Footnote in a combination is not shown anywhere: ---- \starttext \startcombination[1*1] {Aaa\footnote{Footnote}}{} \stopcombination \stoptext ---- Bug, feature (= footnotes are not supposed to be in a combination) or another approach must be chosen to show the footnote?

Line Wrapping/Hyphenation in Chapter/Section Headings
by Malte Stien 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi all, I seem to have a problem with line wrapping/hyphenation in chapter/section headings. I have a chapter heading "Technical Definitions, Acronyms and Abbreviations". When I setup my chapter headings as follows \setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\ss\bf, alternative=inmargin] the heading is hyphenated like so: Technical Definitions, Acronyms and Abbrevi- ations However, I don't want my headings hyphenated. How can I change that? I found this: \setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\ss\bf, alternative=inmargin, align=nothyphenated] That prevents the hyphenation, but it also seems to prevent the wrapping of the line altogether with the result that now my headings run right across the right margin and over the right edge of the paper. How can I turn off hyphenation but retain wrapping of the line, like so Technical Definitions, Acronyms and Abbreviations Thank you, Malte.

define macro from xml-attribute
by Meer, H. van der 16 Mar '12

I would like to accomplish the following in xml processing. <node macro="various macro calls"> and then define the attribute value as a TeX macro. For example, to use this in font switching: <node macro="\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]"> Doing this in the following manner does not work: \startxmlsetups namespace \def\macro{\xmlattdef{#1}{macro}{\empty}} \stopxmlsetups The contents evaluates not to a working macro. Something with catcodes, I presume, but I do not how to do it properly. Preferably I would like to see \meaning\macro evaluate to: \switchtobodyfont[helvetica]. Can someone enlighten me?

random background picture in metafun
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Hi all, scenario: for a presentation, I want the background to be a random picture, taken from a directory "backgroundpics." The pictures are numbered consecutively as 1.jpg through 22.jpg. For some complex reasons, it would be easier for me to include these pictures via metafun (I want to add other graphical elements on top). So my question is, how can I pick a random picture? Given the code StartPage ; draw externalfigure "backgoundpics/1" xscaled PaperWidth yscaled PaperHeight ; StopPage ; how can I obtain a random number and make metapost pick the corresponding picture? Sorry, difficult to make a minimal example here... Thomas

Bug in \setuplist

Astonishment of persons at their tameness, 25. Bees intended for the comfort of man. Properties fitting them for domestication. Bees never attack when filled with honey, 26. .... I have attached a minimal example which works in Context version 2011.07.19 but not in 2012.01.25 nor in todays beta. Compilation stops with an error complaining that the \MycommandA has an extra }. Further there is the question how to get roman numerals when using the \Mycommand. - I realize, that all optional keys are ignored at the moment that the alternative=command is used.

If it doesn't work for you, then other experts can tell you something. Simplefont is a good module which makes font-definition easy. But the different style of the name of Korean fonts hindered me to use it. There may be a way to use simplefont for Korean fonts which I don't know yet. Best regards, Dalyoung

Nested floats
by Prashanth 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hi, I need to create some small tables that are (possibly) next to each other. Though I could make text flow around tables and appear to the left or to the right of the table, I could not manage something like this: +--------------------------------------+ | | | | Table 1 content | Table 2 content | | | | | Table 1 TITLE | Table 2 TITLE | | | | +------------------|-------------------+ So I tried to use nested floats to achieve this (floats because I want each to have its own number and title). Below my mail, I have pasted the code I used to accomplish this. I don't understand why, but it starts numbering with 7 onwards. Is there a way I can fix the numbering? Best regards, Prash \setupheads[chapter][page=no] \starttext \chapter{first} \section{1st section} hello \section{2nd section} hello again \placetable[here,none][]{}{ \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR \bTD \placetable[force][tab:first]{derivation for sentence}{ \bTABLE[frame=off,align=center] \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD def \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD ghi \eTD \bTD jkl \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \eTD \bTD \placetable[force][tab:second]{derivation for sentence}{ \bTABLE[frame=off,align=center] \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD def \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD ghi \eTD \bTD jkl \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \chapter{Second} \placetable[here,none][]{}{ \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR \bTD \placetable[force][tab:third]{derivation for sentence}{ \bTABLE[frame=off,align=center] \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD def \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD ghi \eTD \bTD jkl \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \eTD \bTD \placetable[force][tab:fourth]{derivation for sentence}{ \bTABLE[frame=off,align=center] \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD def \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD ghi \eTD \bTD jkl \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \placetable[here,none][]{}{ \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR \bTD \placetable[force][tab:fifth]{derivation for sentence}{ \bTABLE[frame=off,align=center] \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD def \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD ghi \eTD \bTD jkl \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \eTD \bTD \placetable[force][tab:sixth]{derivation for sentence}{ \bTABLE[frame=off,align=center] \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD def \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD ghi \eTD \bTD jkl \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \stoptext

Footnotes
by Willi Egger 12 Mar '12

Hi all, I try to make-up an old book... Due to the fact that it is a scientific text there are footnotes: about 70 I have them all in buffers. However when saying \footnote{\getbuffer[1]} I get an ugly new line in the footnote at the bottom of the page. - How to prevent this unnecessary hard-return? Secondly there is a problem with the numbering when the footnote is called from a tabulate-environment. In place of starting with 1 it starts with 2. The most strange thing is, that in case of two footnotes in tabulate the numbering even starts with 3. I need to refer to the reference of footnotes. So if the first footnote is \footnote[1]{\getbuffer[1]} I say \note[1] where it is needed. However I get the double questionmark for a missing reference. I would be happy to finalize this book, but ... Willi

Indeed I should apologize since I am not able to submit a minimal example, my project itself being somewhat complex (at least from my perspective… not for a guru!). Also, I should say that in recent previous betas the error message was different, but I have not anymore those versions to report what the exact message was. Thanks for any insight: OK

bibtex doesnt find stylefiles in TEXMFHOME on context standalone
by Eidenbenz Michael 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

hello list, i recently installed the lastest beta (2012.03.05) as standalone alongside TexLive with the latest stable version (2011.05.18) i use some custom stylefiles ( bst and bibl) for bibtex that are placed in my TEXMFHOME Directory that is $HOME/Library/texmf on osx. now context beta finds all the files in my TEXMFHOME but bibtex doesnt. i guess this has to do something to do with kpathsea etc. but i'm very new to TeX and am a little bit lost here. can sombody guide me in the right direction how to solve this. i did run mktexlsr but this doesnt helped. thanks michael

Re: [NTG-context] More CJK fall-back fonts (S Barmeier)
by dalyoung 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Dear Severin, I use a Korean unfont as main fonts and an English fonts as fallback font using the following type script file which is made by the help of Hans and D.H. Kim. You may set fonts similarly. Korean fonts contained Chinese glyph(not all of them) and Japanese glyph, we don't have any problem to use them. I hope that it may help you to find a solution of your problem. Best regards, Dalyoung P.S.

enumeration numbering in the margin, title in body text
by Tobias Columbus 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Hi all, I am new to ConTeXt and asked myself if it is possible to have only the number of an enumeration in the margin and the title in `serried` position. Here is an example of what I think: margin | text --------------------------- | blah blah | blah blah 1.1| Definition (something): blah | 1.2| Lemma: blah After digging a while in the documentation and code, I came to the conclusion that this is currently not possible. Then I tried some fiddling in the context code and this directly leads to my second question: I modified the file strc-des.mkiv. However, the changes seem to be ignored by my context binary. What did I do wrong? I also tried context --generate, but that also did not i make context aware of my changes. Any help would be appreciated Tobias

glyph width issues with \setscript[hanzi]
by S Barmeier 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Not quite sure what causes this problem, but for particular text widths in combination with \setscript[hanzi], the glyph width gets thrown off. \setuplayout[width=110mm,height=200mm] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setscript[hanzi] \setcjkmainfont[IPAexMincho] \starttext ?? \input tufte \stoptext The question marks are too tight (almost on top of each other). This also affects parentheses ( ) and other punctuation , . but I haven't been able to reproduce those in a minimal example. The question marks above should illustrate the problem, though. Severin

More CJK fall-back fonts
by S Barmeier 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

At the moment I have \setcjkmainfont to a Japanese font. How do I specify more fall-back fonts, e.g. for Korean script. Also I may need to use a different font for IPA (phonetic characters). Is there a way of specifying a fall-back font for a particular range of Unicode characters? Thank you. Severin

Getting a Header Line to Start from Left Margin
by Emmanuel Asante 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi All, I have a chapter heading text starting in the left margin and a hairline below my header texts spanning the full width of the header. Since the chapter begins in the left margin, there is no line on top of the chapter heading text in the margin. How can I get the line to also start in the margin where the chapter heading text begins? Thanks Emmanuel

CJK hyphenation/line breaking
by S Barmeier 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Korean has spaces, so I guess I am only asking for CJ, but I was wondering if it is possible to enable line breaking, i.e. cheap hyphenation for CJ(K). I can only speak with certainty for Japanese, but at least here the rules are quite simple. There is no kerning for Japanese characters, so when the line is full it spaces all characters evenly (preferably as close together as the font allows) and dumps everything else to the next line, no matter if it is in the middle of a word (a concept not quite as well defined as in languages with spaces anyway). I can do this by hand if absolutely necessary, by inserting fake spaces "\ \!", but this gets quite tedious, and it seems line breaking for CJ(K) would be nice to have. I remember it working about a year and a half ago(?)... Severin

At the moment, the baseline of the first line of the margin note aligns with the baseline of the main text line. Even in the general case, I think it would look better to have the top aligned. In the margin ruby, this presents a slight problem as a second ruby will now look as though it belongs to the next line. Is there a way to align the top of the lines, or is there a hack that just shifts a margin note by a few pts? (There is a "low" flag, but no high flag, I think...) Thank you. Severin

I'm just thinking of annotating one or two words per line, which in an appropriately small font size could just be stacked at the end of the line in order of occurrence. Problems would only arise if one line contained 3 or more words to be annotated, and the next line also contained one... Would this be possible to implement? Would this just be a \defineinright?

The following example places the background layer completely different in the current beta and when processed with a version from November: \definelayer[test][x=1mm,y=1mm,width=\paperwidth,height=22mm] \setlayer[test][x=104mm,y=11mm]{\externalfigure[cow][width=56mm]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext Hello \stoptext Is that to be expected (i.e. should I adapt my letter template which positions a university logo on the page), or is that a temporary glitch and has to be fixed eventually? All best Thomas

\setuppagenumber problem
by Alan Bowen 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

The following code, \startcomponent \setuphead[title][page=yes] \setuppagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location=,] \setupheader[state=high] \definehead[FMTitle][title] \setuphead[FMTitle][header=high,alternative=middle,style={\tfb\rm},footer={}] \setupheadertexts[text] [\cap{A.\ U.\ Thor}] [\pagenumber] [\pagenumber] [\em{Journal}] \FMTitle[Preface]{Preface} \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth} \blank[big] And here I should like to recall what was said earlier in this \goto{Preface}[Preface] by \dots \stopcomponent fails on two counts: the page numbers are given in arabic numerals not roman numerals, and the cross-reference is ignored. The failure in the cross-reference may be due to a bug involving \startcomponent, if I understand Wolfgang correctly, and was wondering if the same might be true for \setuppagenumber[...]. If it is not, how may I fix the pagination? I am running the latest ConTeXT standalone (MKIV). Alan

Text Indentation and Space Around Headers
by Emmanuel Asante 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi All, I want to indent all text in a document except the chapter header text by a given amount. I have used the following to achieve it: \setupnarrower[left=3cm] and \startnarrower[left] \stopnarrower But I have the feeling that there has to be a better way of doing it. Secondly, how do I control the space around headers? I would like to reduce the big between the chapter header and the first paragraph. Any help will be very much appreciated. Regards, Emmanuel

Combination: no gap between cells?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, I'd like to print several frames of a precise size, one after other, e.g. 2 per row, 2 rows. I'm trying to use combination for this purpose - but I'd need to suppress any horizontal and vertical gap between cells. Is there any option which would cause this? My code so far: ---- t-Prn.mkiv \starttext \startcombination[2*2] {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} \stopcombination \stoptext ---- Something like "\startcombination[space=none][2*2]"... I've overlooked wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Combinations) but no such an option... TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Hooking \stoptext
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hello, I'd need to to hook \stoptext by Lua - I'd need to write something right before the end of the text. See the simple example: ---- t-Hook.mkiv \startluacode local stoptext_p = context.stoptext context.stoptext = function(...) context("END") stoptext_p(...) end \stopluacode \starttext \input knuth \stoptext % To be hooked by Lua ---- This code should write "END" right before the end of the document, but it doesn't. How to achieve that? - I'd rather Lua to TeX do the job as I need Lua to do more complicated things (the example above is very simplified). TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Style file for iPad?
by Alasdair McAndrew 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

If this has been asked before, my apologies. Is there a style file for formatting PDFs from ConTeXt for reading on an iPad? So far I've just used \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[backspace=20mm, width=160mm, topspace=20mm, top=0mm, header=0mm, footer=10mm, bottomspace=20mm,bottom=0mm, textheight=250mm] which works fine - for printing - but isn't optimized for the iPad. If anybody has any suggestions or examples, I'd be very grateful of them!
