Overprinting
by Jan Heinen 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

The company who prints my books says that my text is not overprinted over the framed boxes. They do a preflight with Adobe. I think, I made no mistake - what do you think? I hope it is not a missing \par? \setupcolors[state=start,rgb=no,cmyk=yes] \definecolor[myc] [c=.40, m=.10, y=.50, k=0] \starttext \framed[% width=80mm,height=50mm, background=color, backgroundcolor=myc, ] {1 Overprinted or not?} \blank[big] \framed[% width=80mm,height=50mm, background=color, backgroundcolor=myc, ] {\startcolorintent[overprint]2 Overprinted or not?\stopcolorintent} \blank[big] \framed[% width=80mm,height=50mm, background=color, backgroundcolor=myc, ] {\startcolorintent[knockout]3 Overprinted or not?\stopcolorintent} \stoptext Regards Jannis

TeX inside XML
by Hans van der Meer 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

I need to do some ConTeXt work inside an XML-proces. In principle this works for most TeX-code through an appropriate xmlsetup that calls \xmlcontext. However some code has problems, and it will be no surprise that it concerns table suff. The error is: Misplaced \omit ... \@tbxmultispans #1->\omit \scratchcounter #1\relax \advance \scratchcounter … As this code runs fine in normal ConTeXt environments, the suspicion is some catcode problem. Can I set inside the \xmlsetup-code something to have \xmlcontext using the correct catcode's, iff that turns out to be the problem of course. Thanks in advance. Hans van der Meer

redefining paragraph breaks
by Chris Lott 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

I know I could do it manually, but that makes the source ugly, so is there a way to redefine paragraph breaks so that instead of actual breaks in the output they are kept as running text separate by a paragraph symbol, e.g.: This is paragraph 1. This is paragraph 2. Becomes in the typeset document: This is paragraph 1. ¶ This is paragraph 2. ? c -- Chris Lott <chris(a)chrislott.org>

Re: [NTG-context] Not wanted hidden spaces when you compress fonts
by Jan Heinen 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

Hello, when I turn off the compression [extend=0.8] -> [extend=1] the problems are gone :-) ... the compression unfourtunately also :-( What do I have to configure to get the compression without spaces? :-) Regards Jannis ===== copy Hello, if I compress a font, there are suddenly hidden spaces between words. You can't see the spaces in the PDF, but when you copy the text from the PDF to an editor you can see the spaces. And when you search for a word (with hidden spaces) in the PDF, the word can't be found. This is the result when you copy the text from the PDF into an editor: "The quick brow n fox jum ps over the lazy dog." There is a space in "brow n" and one in "jum ps". When you search for "brown" in the PDF you get no result.

ConTeXt and Blackletter fonts
by Reviczky, Adam 05 Jan '12

Hi list, I have problems typesetting various blackletter fonts with context (up to 2012.01.03 with luatex beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277) using the suite). Here's an example (using oldengl.ttf[1]): --- \starttext \definedfont[file:oldengl*default] \input knuth \stoptext -- The resulting PDF[2] has a wide space between each of the letters. Is this a problem with the font(s) itself or with context/luatex? (As a comparison I've tested these fonts with OpenOffice as well, and had no such issues.)

How to define a command...
by Otared Kavian 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hi all, I need to define numerical coefficients (essentially at random) and then use them with commands, say like \CoeffAlpha, \CoeffBeta, and so on. More precisely, how can I define the command \RandomCoeff, so that \RandomCoeff{Beta}{1}{10} yields a command named \CoeffBeta, which is a random number chosen between 1 and 10? I tried to use the following approach, but could not make it work: %%% begin random-coeff.tex \setuprandomize[2012] % set a seed \ctxlua{CoeffAlpha = math.random(1,10) ;} \def\CoeffAlpha{\ctxlua{tex.print(CoeffAlpha)}} %%%%% \define[3]\RandomCoeff{% \ctxlua{a = math.random(#2,#3)} % \csname{Coeff#1}\endcsname{\ctxlua{tex.print(a)}} %% this line does not work as expected... } \starttext \CoeffAlpha \RandomCoeff{Beta}{1}{10} \ctxlua{tex.print(a)} %\CoeffBeta \stoptext %%% end random-coeff.tex Thanks in advance for any suggestion or hint. Best regards: OK

Hello, I'm relatively quite new to TeX world. This is my first message to list. I hope you understand me, English isn't my mother language. I'm trying to use a variable set by \setvariable in Lua.

Why does framedtext extends to the right in \itemize? Shouldn't the width be reduced by the extend of the item-shift? Isn't that the idea behind the "fit"-parameter.

mod_php vs context: tight loop
by Brendan Jurd 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

Hello list, I have a PHP application which generates documentation on the fly with context. This has been working really well, but I am now testing deployment on a new server with a more recent version of context, and it seems to be somehow getting itself into a tight loop. When I run texexec via the mod_php apache module, the command never returns, and `ps ax` shows the following: 9709 ? S 0:00 sh -c texexec --check 2>&1 9710 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/texexec --check 9711 ? R 9:59 /usr/bin/texlua /usr/bin/mtxrun --usekpse --execute texexec --check `top` shows the mtxrun process eating 99.9% CPU. Attaching an strace to this process, once it is underway, shows no output. My test script is as follows: <?php $result = null; system("texexec --check 2>&1", $result); print $result . "\n"; ?> When this same test script is run directly from the command line with `php5 -f test.php`, it works as expected and outputs the following: MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.01 secondsTeXExec | current distribution: web2c TeXExec | context source date: 2010.07.30 11:35 TeXExec | format path: . /root/.texmf-config/web2c/luatex /root/.texmf-var/web2c/luatex /root/texmf/web2c/luatex /etc/texmf/web2c/luatex /var/lib/texmf/web2c/luatex /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/luatex /usr/share/texmf/web2c/luatex /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/luatex /root/.texmf-config/web2c /root/.texmf-var/web2c /root/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf/web2c /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c TeXExec | start of analysis TeXExec | end of analysis TeXExec | TeXExec | TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD 0 Using --timeout=30 in the arguments to texexec makes no difference; mtxrun nonetheless runs forever until it is signalled. It seems that this must be down to some kind of difference in Apache's execution environment -- I don't see any other way to explain the same PHP code working in cli and failing in mod_php, even when running as the same user. But what possible environmental factor could lead to mtxrun freaking out like this? I'm hoping someone on this list may be able to point me in the right direction. This server is a VZ instance running under proxmox, with the following relevant ubuntu packages installed (per the 'natty' release): context 2010.07.30-1 libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.3 apache2 2.2.17-1ubuntu1.4 -- Regards, Brendan Jurd Software Engineer Achieve, Corp brendan.jurd(a)achievecorp.com.au

(again) issues with streams

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate (this is the second time I post the message to the list http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/064184.html) This is a minimal sample: \enabletrackers[streams.flushing] \def\itit#1{{\language[it]\em#1}} \starttext \completecontent \startoutputstream[agr] \dorecurse{4}{\chapter{Knuth}\input knuth\par} \enableoutputstream[es] \dorecurse{4}{\chapter{Ward}\input ward\par \input tufte\par} \disableoutputstream \stopoutputstream \synchronizestreams[agr,es] \page \flushoutputstream[agr] \page \flushoutputstream[es] \stoptext My first question is how can I make that ConTeXt synchronizes automatically titles and paragraphs. I mean, I want to type the original first and the translation after the original and that ConTeXt typesets everything right (original with facing translation). My second question is how can I do that numbering on both sides is really independent. I mean that chapter and similar titles have the same number that its facing translations (and the same for footnotes). My third question is how can I number lines there, since I get the following error when using \starlinenumbering ... \stoplinenumbering (this is all Greek to me): !LuaTeX error: There should have been a lua <node> here, not an object with type nil! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Dear Hans, dear all, My best wishes to all the community for this New Year! With the latest beta, \setuphead[chapter] has a strange behavior: the order of two keys seems to be important… More precisely \setuphead [chapter] [header=high, align=middle ] results in an error (see below), while \setuphead [chapter] [align=middle, header=high ] works as expected (I had a tough time to find the bug and this minimal example…). Minimal example that does not work: %%% begin bug-setuphead.tex \setuphead [chapter] [header=high, align=middle ] \starttext \chapter{My chapter title} \input knuth \stoptext %%% end bug-setuphead.tex The error message points to: \page_layouts_synchronize_element_indeed ...ounds \else \ifx \previoustextst... \page_layouts_synchronize_element ...t_indeed {#1} \fi <inserted text> ..._element \currentlayoutelement \fi \docommand ...=high]\the \everysetuplayoutelement \next1 #1,->\docommand {#1} \syst_helpers_do_process_comma_item \syst_helpers_do_process_comma_list ...rgument #1, ]\relax \global \advance \… Best regards: OK

Undefined controle sequence with usemodule[vim]
by pol stra 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

Hello everyone, When I use t-vim module, I get this error message: <error msg> system > tex > error on line 15 in file vim.tex: Undefined control sequence ... </error msg> for example with this code: <code> \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[python][syntax=python, escape=on] \starttext \startpython # Returns \m{\sum_{i=1}^{n}i} def sum_upto(n) r = range(1, n+1) return sum(r) \stoppython \stoptext </code> But as you can see, there is no line 15 in this file ! Anyway, I can just ignore the error and get the output, but that’s not good. I attached the log file.

strip space in xml
by Meer, H. van der 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

I have the following problem with xml processing. Spurious space is typeset, annoyingly visible when nearly equivalent structures are typeset one under another. Take the following node structure where the <text> node is the one intended to contribute to the typeset material, whereas <anothernode> is not. <root> <node> <anothernode>..</anothernode> <text> .. </text> </node> </root> Doing in the <root>-node: \xmlstripnolines{#1}{/node}\xmlall{#1}{/node} removes some of the unwanted spaces but not all. Especially the space between </anothernode> and <text> does not completely disappear (seen with \xmlstrippednolines). This also occurs when </anothernode> and <text> are on the same line separated by a number of spaces. The space disappears when </anothernode><text> are put next to another. However, this destroys the neat typography of the xml. The manual tells me that \xmlstripnolines ..collapses embedded spaces from nodes under node.. That seems correct in that obviously the code leaves one space from the intervening spaces/newlines. But this gains me nothing! Why leaving a single space between <node> and <next-node>? For me this defeats the purpose of xmlstripnolines. Can this be remedied? Hans van der Meer

new beta
by Hans Hagen 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. As I'm still in cleaning-up mode, the usual problems could show up as quite some code was adapted (moved around). For those interested there is a file 'status-mkiv' that can be run to get an overview of where we stand. One big change has been the way alignments are initialized. There were two methods (one for \setupalign and one for align keywords) and these have been merged into one. A side effect is that an alignment change is twice as fast as before which might make a difference in excessive usage of \framed and some table mechanisms. Another change is that \color[whatever]{} now always expects an argument (in \MKII {\color[red] ...} is valid too. Some more commands might get that restriction but not the style switchers etc). Again this is twice as fast as the previous method (probably not that noticeable as many switches happen otherwise). For those who won't/didn't get it by snail mail .. this years card can be found at http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-gra.pdf#page=33 In 2012 it will of course again be a gamble if the betas work out well, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hey list, I have a lot of fairly large diagrams in my book that don't always match the aspect ratio of the page in landscape mode, though they usually are closer to landscape than a portrait layout for the page dimension.

Scite Lexers
by John Kitzmiller 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

This may not belong here but perhaps someone would be willing to confer with me off-list? After Scite re-install with new MkIV instructions I can not find where to change background color. (I was able to change it before under ebswift installation although syntax highlighting for *tex did not work--such a deal!) The only lead I have so far is, commenting out "import lexers/lpeg" in SciteGlobal.properties takes away all highlighting for all languages. I know there is a warning about lexer interaction from November 2011, but I have not had any other problems (except Purge All does not work) with Scite 3.02, lpeg lexers 3.02-1, and ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.20 22:24 MKIV. Thanks, John

searching xml node tree
by Meer, H. van der 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

In the processing of xml data path expressions like a/(b|c)/*/d etc. can be used. However, I have a node that can be present inside every node of the tree. One method to collect these all together is bij successive calls: \xmlall{#1}{/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/*/node}, etc. But that fails if the tree is deeper than foreseen. I tried recursive searching within the node-setup-processor by calling \xmlall{#1}{../*/node} but either this fails or I am not doing it the right way. Any ideas? Hans van der Meer

ConTeXt: https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/context-daily LuaTeX: https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/luatex-daily You'll probably get more people able to test the latest revisions with a link on the wiki. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Broken Nightly Chokes on \rotate
by Kip Warner 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hey folks, The nightly for Dec 29th seems to choke on \rotate. I have a statement: \midaligned{\rotate[rotation=42]{\color[red] \bft THIS IS A DRAFT!}} ConTeXt emits the following: ! Undefined control sequence. \dodorotatenextbox ... \@@rorotation \@@layerxpos \zeropoint \@@layerypos \z... \dorotatenextbox ...rotatenextbox \@@rorotation #2 \fi \boxcursor \flushnextb... \boxes_with_next_box ...x \@@rorotation \!!counta \egroup l.22 ...THIS IS A DRAFT!} } ? I'm fairly sure it isn't the \midaligned because I have other statements it compiles fine. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

skipping in xml
by Hans van der Meer 30 Dec '11

The following code does not seem to work i xmlsetups. Its goal is to let part of the input disappear. \startxmlsetups pqr:initial \def\hidestart#1\hidestop{} \hidestart abc\hidestop % << not working \stopxmlsetups Why is the argument not eaten until the \hidestop, but only one letter (the a) consumed.

Is there a replacement for \tracechinesetrue in mkiv?
by Zhichu Chen 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi, I wrote some CJK vertical typesetting macros in mkii a long time ago and I want to adopt it to mkiv. Sadly the \iftracechinese is gone. Can I still draw boxes of each glyph to see if they are aligned in my way? Drawing a line in the background is so not cool. -- Best Regards Chen

bug with --purgeall?
by Pablo Rodríguez 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi there, yesterday I ran the following command: context --purgeall --environment=mysecondstyle.tex --mode=myexample.xml I know that the source file is missing (I discovered it later). This is not my issue. The problem is that the --purgeall option caused context to erase all .log files contained in that directory. Instead of asking for a source file name, it deleted all .log files. I'm afraid this is a bug, at least it shouldn't erase files that context didn't generate. Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\starttexdefinition and @ in macroname in mkvi
by Aditya Mahajan 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi, @, !, _ etc.\ are not recognized as part of the macro name when using MkVI named arguments with \starttexdefinition. For example, consider the following example: \unprotect \starttexdefinition test@again #name Name is #name \stoptexdefinition \protect Processing this file using mtxrun --script interface --preprocess test.mkvi --force shows that #name is not recognized as a parameter. The preprocessing works if I remove the @ from the macro name. Aditya

how to handle the fonts whose name contains a blank space?
by dalyoung 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Dear all, Sometime ago, I asked the same question and got replies. However, I couldn't make it work and I didn't try since then. Now, I am asking the same question again with a hope. I have several Korean fonts whose name contains a blank space. For example, in KoPubBatang_Pro family, there are 3 fonts: KoPubBatang_Pro Light (font file name is "KoPubBatang_Pro Light.otf") KoPubBatang_Pro Medium (font file name is "KoPubBatang_Pro Medium.otf") KoPubBatang_Pro Bold (font file name is "KoPubBatang_Pro Bold.otf") You can download the fonts from here: http://www.mcst.go.kr/web/notifyCourt/notice/mctNoticeView.jsp?pSeq=6870 Here is a sample code: \definefont[test][KoPubBatang_Pro Light.otf] \starttext \test This is a test for KoPubBatang font. 한글이 잘 써지는지 봅시다. \stoptext But I got the following messages in the log file. fonts > defining > font with asked name 'KoPubBatang_Pro' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font KoPubBatang_Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define KoPubBatang_Pro as \**sangsang** backend > xmp > using file '/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1, subpage 1 )</Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-regular.otf> Is there any hints for this?

generating PDF from XML
by Pablo Rodríguez 30 Dec '11

Hi there, http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/talks/day2_03_thomas_xml-tutorial/ contains some files that allow generating PDF from XML source files. context --purgeall --environment=mysecondstyle.tex myexample.xml with ConTeXt stable from TL2011 should do the work, shouldn't it? Well... I get no error, but I don't get the PDF output. The same happens with the examples at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TEI_xml. What am I doing wrong?

three issues with streams
by Pablo Rodríguez 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi there, after tweaking with the example provided by Wolfgang (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/063353.html) I tried to generate a bilingual poetry document with original Greek text and facing Spanish translation (using ConTeXt stable as provided by TL2011). Here is the basic structure: \enabletrackers[streams.flushing] \def\itit#1{{\language[it]\em#1}} \starttext \completecontent \startoutputstream[agr] Spanish poems including many chapters \enableoutputstream[es] Spanish poems including many chapters \disableoutputstream \stopoutputstream \synchronizestreams[agr,es] \page \flushoutputstream[agr] \page \flushoutputstream[es] \stoptext My questions are: I include the whole Greek text and the Spanish text after it. I expect ConTeXt to synchonize both streams in titles and paragraphs, but all I get is the Greek stream typeset before the Spanish stream. Is there no way to get ConTeXt synchronizing both streams automatically? How can I enable \startlinenumbering ... \stoplinenumbering in the poems themselves? It doesn't seem to work, since it gives an error (\startlines ... \stoplines works fine). How can I get that elements on the left page (or outputstream[agr]) are independent from the right page [or outputstream[es])? I mean that sectioning numbers and footnote numbers are independent in each stream, i.e, chapter 1 on left page has a chapter 1 on facing page. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi, on my new netbook (Hercules eCafe) I have an ubuntu. It would be possible to install the official packages of texlive and/or context.

Whitespacing and Interlinespacing for \startitemize ... \stopitemize
by Jan Heinen 29 Dec '11

Hello two questions for \startitemize (1) Start ... Stop for interlinespacing How can I declare some spacing only for an itemization: \setupinterlinespace [0.4em]{ ... } does not work: \starttext \setupinterlinespace [0.4em]{ \startitemize \item aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa \item bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb \item ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccc \stopitemize } \stoptext (2) How to define whitespacing? \starttext At the first itemization there should be no extra whitespace between the items.

Newest ConTeXt in Windows7: kpathsea60.dll is missing ?
by Mari Voipio 29 Dec '11

29 Dec '11

So, I went and updated my ConTeXt today as I've got nothing really critical going on. I'm running ConTeXt on Windows 7 (64-bit) and I used firstsetup.bat --modules=all to update it. Everything works fine otherwise, but during the installation process both mpost.exe and pdftex.exe complain that "The program can't start because kpathsea60.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I've never seen that complaint before, but now I get it consistently, also after rebooting and updating directly after restart. Both eventually stop complaining after I'd clicked on OK multiple times ("yes,yes, just go on, will ya"). It doesn't seem critical (I don't use MetaPost and I run MKIV anyway) - or at least the first test file compiled without complaints, but now I'm wondering whether my Windows has a problem (MS update related, maybe?) or whether the Suite has a problem in Windows. And my ConTeXt is the newest available, because I'm now running version ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.23 09:52 MKIV and that's more recent than my most recent working day before this. :-) Thanks, Mari

Header/footer fonts problem in 20 DEC 2011 beta
by Peter Park Nelson 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Hello, I just installed the 20 Dec beta and noticed the following (compared to 29 Nov beta): 1. Headers and footers on ODD PAGES ONLY do not respect text styles set via \setupheader[style=\ss] and \setupfooter[style=\cg]. Text in both cases is in serif type. Headers and footers on EVEN pages have correct fonts. However, setting the font variant and size directly in \setupfootertexts[\cg\bf Footer Text] works for odd pages. On the plus side: 2. \restoreinterlinespace is no longer needed with section headers in a grid layout. (See: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20050620.212538.c081f1e4.en.html) Thank you for fixing that. 3. columnsets no longer run into the page footer area when using \setupheader[state=high]. Thanks, Hans! Thanks, PPN -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

OK, back to work and I could dig deeper into the problem. It turns out that inserting and filtering pages from a pdf file works fine and most of imposition works out, too, and I even managed to create some fancy folding booklets with 1*8 (thanks, Willi, for the lecture you gave at CM4 on this stuff!), but my 2UP refuses to work. This works: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] %individual page A5 size, print size A4 \setuparranging[2SIDE] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \starttext \filterpages [maoutput.pdf][1,3,5:22][width=0pt] \stoptext This works, too: \setuppapersize[A5][A3] \setuparranging[2DOWN] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, marking=on] \starttext \insertpages [maoutput.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext However, if I switch to 2UP on either (2SIDE or 2DOWN), I get ten pages of nothing. Or rather, on the latter I get 10 pages of cut marks as marking is on. I'm running the newest beta, from December 23. The problem is not critical (at least not yet), although if I get the A5 -> A4 booklet to work on ConTeXt, it'll speed up a few processes (and shorten our printing queues...). Thanks, Mari

I tried to do this with the following code: \setuplayout [topspace=2.5cm, backspace=1.5cm, header=40pt, footer=20ptpt, height=middle, width=middle] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] %\showframe \startluacode function myheadertext(s) context.setupheadertexts{context(s)} --context.labeltext(s) end \stopluacode \starttext \ctxluamyheadertext{"Headertext"}} \input knuth \stoptext Hm, what I get is a right-square-bracket in front of the text and no header. - What do I miss? Kind regards Willi

Hey folks, Since I upgraded from the Nov 29th nightly to today's Dec 22nd, my ConTeXt source does not compile. I do not understand the error message either.

Constraint in line numbers
by Fulvio 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

Hi, this is my first message in this ml ;) Well, I've a stupid constraint in a work: I must limit the number of lines in a page. I have to have 32-35 lines on each page. Now, the task isn't too complex in principle, I can work on interline sizes and glues, but this way is a little bit tricky. I wonder if there is a better (and elegant) way to manage the problem. Thanks Fulvio

ePub from project?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

I thought I could try ePub with a current book project. export.xml from my product looks good and contains "everything" from the components, but the xhtml file contains only a ToC - and thus, ePub is empty. Further, it seems like arguments of \settaggedmetadata like name, title, author are just ignored in ePub. ePubReader in Firefox says (translated) """ XML processing error: "Junk" after document element Address: file:.../epub/4/OPS/example.xhtml Line Nr. 173, Column 1:<section detail="chapter" location='aut:2'> """ Adobe Digital Editions shows no error, just an empty book. With the following small example, I get at least an unstyled body text: """ \setupbackend[export=example.xml,xhtml=example.xhtml] \settaggedmetadata[name=Hraban,title=Example,author=Hraban,version=0.1] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=,contrastcolor=, title=Test,subtitle={}, author={Henning Hraban Ramm}] \setupexport[bodyfont=12pt,hyphen=yes] \starttext \startchapter[title=Test] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext """ Hm, the xhtml file doesn’t look like HTML at all, and even styling the existing tags in CSS doesn’t affect the output. If I change <sectiontitle> to <xhtml:h2>, it’s reckognized. In short: - xhtml is just an xml without html tags - xhtml doesn’t contain content of components Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

new beta
by Hans Hagen 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The most prominent changes are that the frames macro, mp graphics, and scaling code has been cleaned up, sped up and namespaced. of course some bug can have crept in. Don't expect wonders with respect to speedup although it can make some difference when multiple backgrounds, of large natural/extreme tables are used. Of course raw output of pages (as with \dorecurse{1000}{test\page}) is not really a good measure but at last the overhead gets more and more minimized which is also good for tracing. This version might also solve some of the reported problems with page imposition (as the page-* modules are being cleaned up buglets cna be introduced .. nothing really changes there apart from speedup and namespacing).

Header bottomframe on first page of document
by Peter Park Nelson 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hello, If I have a bottom frame under my page headers, is it possible to have NO bottom frame under the header on ONLY the first page of a document? I am using: \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on] to put a border line underneath all my page headers. I want to have a header on the first page of my document but no line under it (the first page header will be unique). I want to keep the vertical space for the header, so \setupheader[text][state=high] is not what I need. The reason for this is to have the option of placing a "banner" over the document title using the header. Some documents will need this, and some will not. So, if the extra banner is needed, I will put it in the first page header, and if not I will leave that header blank. The unique header will be set using: \definetext[firsthead][header][First Page Header Banner Text] % or leave it blank... \setuphead[title][header=firsthead,...] Thanks, PPN -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

Thank you, Luigi. I see that Context runs from the command line. The problem is that it does not run from emacs context-mode. How can I fix this?
