[NTG-context]Make a larger trademark?
by seasoul 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

I konw the registered trademark can get from \registered, or simply add ® in MKIV. But it seems the symbol is very small, appreaing in the superscript. How to make it in a normal text size, just as \copryright or ©.

In lxml-tab.lua I find near the beginning the line: local trace_entities = false trackers.register("xml.entities", function(v) trace_entities = v end) Shouldn't there be a ; or newline between the two statments? Hans van der Meer

context.labeltext(...)
by Willi Egger 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

Hi all, experimenting with context.labeltext... My question is how can I tweak the context.labeltext(text) command at the lua-side to make ConTeXt to typeset the labeltext starting with an uppercase letter? e.g. if "text" contains "january" to display "January"? KR Willi

Could it be that in xml-processing ' and friends are dead? Where formerly these were treated correctly, now from "'" there results "apos". I seem to remember that this was an earlier problem, solved in the meantime and now popping up again. Hans van der Meer

bib module cripples authors?
by Steffen Wolfrum 04 Jul '11

Hi, an other issue with bib: already at the stage of running bibtex three or more authors are "shortened". See an easy example: \setupbibtex[database=mytry_x.bib] \starttext Test \completepublications \stoptext The referenced "mytry_x.bib" looks like this: @BOOK{daunerliebkonzenschmidt, author = {Peter Schlechtriem and Horst Konzen}, } @BOOK{schlechtriemschmidtkessel, author = {Peter Schlechtriem and Horst Konzen and Karsten Schmidt}, } And the resulting bbl lookes like this: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={SKS},totalnumber=2] \startpublication[k=daunerliebkonzenschmidt,t=book, a={{Schlechtriem},{Konzen}},y=, n=1,s=SK] \author[]{Peter}[P.]{}{Schlechtriem} \author[]{Horst}[H.]{}{Konzen} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=schlechtriemschmidtkessel,t=book, a={{Schlechtriem},{}},y=, n=2,s=SKS] \author[]{Peter}[P.]{}{Schlechtriem} \author[]{Horst}[H.]{}{Konzen} \author[]{Karsten}[K.]{}{Schmidt} \stoppublication Why is "a=" now {{Schlechtriem},{}} and not {{Schlechtriem},{Konzen},{Schmidt}} ??

bib module makes titles lowercase?
by Steffen Wolfrum 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi, maybe I just overlooked some very basic (german?) settings, but when I am running the bib module it rewrites entries of "title" in my bbi file to lowercase! See an example: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=mytry_x.bib] \starttext Test \completepublications \stoptext The referenced "mytry_x.bib" looks like this: @ARTICLE{altmeppendb20011399, author = {Holger Altmeppen}, gender = {sm}, title = {Untaugliche Regeln zum Vertrauensschaden und Erf¸llungsinteresse im Schuldrechtsmodernisierungsentwurf}, shorttitle = {DB 2001, 1399}, journal = {Der Betrieb}, year = {{\noopsort{2001a}}2001}, pages = {S.~1399 - 1405} } And the resulting bbl lookes like this: \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={Alt01},totalnumber=1] \startpublication[k=altmeppendb20011399,t=article, a={{Altmeppen}},y=2001, n=1,s=Alt01] \artauthor[]{Holger}[H.]{}{Altmeppen} \pubyear{{\noopsort{2001a}}2001} \arttitle{Untaugliche regeln zum vertrauensschaden und erf¸llungsinteresse im schuldrechtsmodernisierungsentwurf} \journal{Der Betrieb} \pages{S.~1399 - 1405} \stoppublication Any ideas??

Missing space between digit and unit with the new unit-command

Hey, I was happy to have a new (and easier) unit-command, but now I miss the space that was between the digits and the unit in the unit-module. I attach the old (unit1) and new variant (unit2) with tex- and pdf-files. Do I type it in a wrong way or is it possible to fix this? Thanks, Yoraxe

Columns and figures in MKIV
by Jason Earl 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

I am trying to upgrade an existing document from using texexec and pdftex to context and luatex. Unfortunately, the document relies pretty heavily on columns (using \startcolumns[n=2,tolerant=verytolerant]) and the idea that figures that are too wide to place in a column float to the top of the next page. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case with the current minimals. The following example works fine for texexec (even if I comment out the \startpostponing \stoppostponing code). The figure is placed (centered) at the top of page 2. With MKIV, however, the figure stays in the first column and bleeds over into the second column (the postponing code does change it to the next page, but it doesn't force it out of the column). --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \enableregime[utf-8] \starttext \startcolumns \chapter[chap:testing]{Testing} \startcolumns[n=2, tolerant=verytolerant] \input knuth %\startpostponing \placefigure [center][fig:foo] {none} {\externalfigure[foo][] [width=1.5\textwidth]} %\stoppostponing \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \stopcolumns \stoptext--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I am using the Context minimal distribution (on Linux) and context reports that the current version as: current version: 2011.06.29 09:57 It is quite likely that I am simply doing this wrong, but I have read: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns and it appears to support what I am trying to do. I have experimented a bit with columnsets, but they appear to be overkill for my use. Then again, I am probably doing it wrong. Any advice would be appreciated. Jason Earl

footnotes, blank
by Thomas Schmitz 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi all, two questions here: 1. Is it possible to define a blank so that the paragraph after it will not be indented (in a document which otherwise does have indents)? I looked at \defineblank and the new \definevspacing, but couldn't find anything appropriate. 2. I want footnotes placed at the bottom of the page so that the vertical place is filled (so with a flexible vertical space between text and notes), but on the last page of every chapter, the publisher prefers the footnotes right below the text, not at the bottom of the page. Is this feasible? Thanks and all best Thomas

Using Luatex.

Been away for a while. Currently using luatex for lightly formatted documents. But I want to use Context for my next job (lots of formatting). How do I incorporate luatex and the fonts found by luatex in my Context file? And should I use MKII or MKIV? My luatex books are basically pdftex files with a few statements to get at fonts not included with TeX, e.g., \input luaotfload.sty \font\lll={CHOPS___.TTF} at 48bp \font\lk={CHOPS___.TTF} at 36bp \font\hl={CHOPS___.TTF} at 16bp \font\head={CHOPS___.TTF} at 26bp \font\lr pplr7t at 12bp \font\llr pplr7t at 14bp \font\rm pplr7t at 10bp \font\it pplri7t at 10bp \font\bf pplb7t at 10bp -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters Cover design, Indexing, Interior Layout

ConTeXt Command Differences between Tex Live and Minimals
by Raymond LeClair 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

In general, where do I look to resolve differences between ConTeXt commands which work using the Tex Live distribution, but which do not work using the Minimals distribution. I am thinking of switching to the Minimals distribution since I can keep it more current, and it appears to resolve a problem hyphenating URLs which contain multiple, adjacent hyphens. Specifically, the command "\inothermargin" is not recognized when using the Minimals distribution. While I would appreciate a solution to this issue, I would very much appreciate knowing where to look to resolve the issue myself. I have consulted the most recent documentation, and searched the ConTeXt wiki. Tex Live Distribution reports: MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010071217 (TeX Live 2010) (rev 3736) Minimals Distribution reports: mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277)

space between label and number
by dalyoung 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi, By Hans's help, the labels of figures and of tables are appeared in Korean after setting \mainlagnuage[kr]. (\placefigure of \placetable ) Thanks! However, there is no space between label and number like "그림1" or "표3". I tried to add a space like "그림 " in the file char-def and some other files, but it won't work. When mainlanguage is english, the labels are "Figure 1" or "Table 3". There exists a space. How to add a space in this case? I have another question. Is it possible to calculate the remaining length to the bottom of the page? I'd like to add a big frame to fit the remaining space after some texts. I think that it is possible in ConTeXt. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Scaling down the resolution of used pictures
by Cecil Westerhof 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

At the moment it is not very important, but my other question remembered me about an old situation. I do not use graphics a lot in my ConTeXt files. But some time ago I used several pictures with a very high resolution. This made the resulting PDF very big. I did not expect the PDF printed on a printer with a higher resolution as 1200 DPI. Is there a way to have the included graphics not be bigger as necessary (without changing the original pictures)? Again, at the moment it is not urgent. But when I come in the same situation again, it would be nice if the resulting PDF was not five times as big as necessary. And maybe the answer is useful for someone else also. ;-} -- Cecil Westerhof

Working with graphics
by Cecil Westerhof 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

I am using graphics in my PDF document. First I used something like this: \midaligned{\externalfigure[graphics/priceList][width=1\textwidth]} Initially this worked good enough. But now I have both little pictures and pictures that are large in the y-direction. At this moment I change the width parameter manually. But I would like something like the following: - A picture is not stretched more as a certain value. (Say two.) - A picture is never to wide. - A picture is never to high to fill more as 75% of a page. Is this something that is possible? Also: is it a good idea to use \useexternalfigure, or is this only necessary when a picture is used more as once. -- Cecil Westerhof

CMYK colors not as expected
by Hans van der Meer 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

I would be pleased to get some advice from "color-knowledgeable people" on the following matter. In TV-broadcasts there are usually two kinds of subtitles present: Teletext as characters and DVB as pixels. These can be extracted and rendered with Metapost. I have done this, but I am not very satisfied with the colors produced. On the television screen they look bright, when rendered in Metapost they are dull and muddy. The text is barely readable. As I am fairly sure I did extract the correct bits from the CLUT contained in the stream, I wonder if I am doing something not right at the Metapost side. In the datastream the values given are the most significant 6, 4, 4 and 2 bits of respectively Y, Cr, Cb, T. These are scaled to the values given to Metapost by dividing them by 255. In the zip one finds the program (ConTeXt MKIV) used for typesetting, an example pixel map with clut, and the output. I would be obliged to get some comments. Hans van der Meer

Large Figure on Landscape Orientation

Umathquad again - lots of mktexlsr errors

The ! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. came up again. Therefore decided to get new beta. Now suddenly I get on the console what seem literaly hundredsds of thousands messages mktexlsr: : not a directory, skipping. Has there been an infinite loop been crept in somewhere?

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. There are some changes in the math font handling: (1) bold: % \setupbodyfont[lucidanova] % \setupbodyfont[palatino] % \setupbodyfont[libertine] % \setupbodyfont[xits] \setuphead[chapter][style=\bfd] \starttext \chapter{Test \m{a=b^{2c}} and \m{\sqrt{x^2}}} { Test \m{a=b^{2c}} and \m{\sqrt{x^2}}\par} {\bf Test \m{a=b^{2c}} and \m{\sqrt{x^2}}\par} {\tfd Test \m{a=b^{2c}} and \m{\sqrt{x^2}}\par} {\bfd Test \m{a=b^{2c}} and \m{\sqrt{x^2}}\par} {\bfd Test \m{a=b^{2c}} and \m{\sqrt{x^2}}\par} \stoptext When a font has bold (like the upcoming lucida) you get full autobold support, otherwise you get substitution bold, which works ok for most cases. (2) bidi % example from the xits suite % \setupbodyfont[xits] \setupbodyfont[xitsbidi] \setupalign[r2l] \starttext \setupmathematics[align=r2l] \startformula \sqrt{ف^2\over 4ب} \eqno(1) \stopformula \setupmathematics[align=l2r] \startformula \sqrt{x^2\over 4x} \eqno(1) \stopformula \setupmathematics[align=r2l] \startformula \sum^\infty_{س=0} س^2 \eqno(2) \stopformula \startformula \left(\root{2} \of{155}\right) \stopformula \startformula \left[\int^{55}_{123} 666^3\right] \qquad\textstyle\left[\int^{55}_{123} 666^3\right] \stopformula \startformula \left\{\sum^{55}_{123} 666^3\right\} \stopformula \startformula \sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{55}}}}}}}}}} \stopformula \startformula 5 < 6 > 4 \stopformula \startformula 5 \leq 6 \geq 7 \stopformula \stoptext This works for xits as it comes with the right shapes. Currently bidi must be loaded explicitly because more is loaded but that might become automatic at some point when r2l document alignment kicks in. (3) Math following \bfa etc is somewhat faster now.

where to place \index (again)
by Thomas A. Schmitz 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm in the final phase of editing a scholarly book with a pretty big index. What follows is less a question than an observation: no matter where I place the \index command, there can always be unwanted side effects: foo\index{bar}: here, the entry may point to the page following the name, if the page break falls at this position. Moreover, when this is followed by punctuation or footnotes, there may be a line break between the word and the punctuation/footnote mark. Placing it at the end of a long footnote is asking for even more trouble, because there's a real risk that a page break may occur. \index{bar}foo: the book is typeset with character protrusion, and this seems to introduce additional material which can disturb line endings, so that lines before such an indexed word appear to be missing one character at the end. So this is what I observe. Working around this is possible, but painful - I have to check every page for such bad linebreaks or misplaced punctuation marks. My question then is: will it be possible, at one point in luatex development, to find a more robust solution for this? This would be wonderful, I think! All best Thomas

Influencing of horizontal arrangement of list of publications
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hello ConTeXist, As is known, the layout of a list (of content) is determined by the values of alternative, margin, width and distance. Required values can be changed via commands \setuplist or \setupcombinedlist. Can somehow influence the horizontal arrangement of items in lists typed using \placepublications[...]? I want to change such margin, distance and alignment reference items. <margin>REFERENCE ITEM<distance>PUBLICATION ITEM Examples of alignments and distances: RefAuthor1 Author1, Name of his publication RefAut2 Authors2, Name of his publication RAut3 Authors3, Name of his publication or: RefAuthor1 Author1, Name of his publication RefAut2 Author2, Name of his publication RAut3 Author3, Name of his publication or: RefAuthor1 Author1, Name of his publication RefAut2 Author2, Name of his publication RAut3 Author3, Name of his publication etc. I ask because when I use (in context minimals) the standard command \placepublications[criterium=all], then I get a result that does not satisfy me at all. Thanx Jaroslav

Trailing Space after \cldcontext
by Kip Warner 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hey list, Is there any way to remove the trailing space that appears to be automatically inserted when \cldcontext output is captured? For instance, Bazaar revision \cldcontext{os.resultof"bzr revno"}. Will show "Bazaar revision 43 ." I've manually checked the output of the command to run and it doesn't appear to add that space character itself, so I am wondering if os.resultof is appending the extraneous space? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Current Commands/Columns
by H. Hodges 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Is there some sort of guide to which commands are still used in ConTeXt or a latest edition of the main manual? I downloaded a bunch of manuals from the main website to learn from, and some of the commands aren't affecting my output. I'm particularly confused about how to create and setup columns. I've read about using \setuplayout[columns=somenumber] with \layoutcolumnoffset{somecolumn}, \setupcolumns with \start, \stopcolumns, and \column, and \setlayer[text][column=1]{some text} (which doesn't seem to work at all) in the style guide.

cmyk in metapost
by Hans van der Meer 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

I must be doing something wrong. But what? Relevant part of Metapost code: numeric Cb, Cr, Y, T, temp, graycolors; Cb := 0; Cr := 1; Y = 2; T := 3; graycolors := 15; numeric colors[][];for i = 0 upto graycolors: temp := (graycolors - i) / graycolors; colors[i][Cb] := temp; colors[i][Cr] := temp; colors[i][Y] := temp; colors[i][T] := 0; endfor def colorvalue(expr v) = cmyk(colors[v][Cb], colors[v][Cr], colors[v][Y], colors[v][T]) enddef; for i = 0 upto 15: mycmyk[i] := colorvalue(i); endfor Used with drawdot... withcolor mycymk[index]; The error from metapost is in the generation of the cmyk colors: ! terminal: >> (redpart mycmyk0,greenpart mycmyk0,bluepart mycmyk0) >> (1,1,1,0) ! Equation cannot be performed (color=cmykcolor). <to be read again> ; <for(0)> mycmyk[(EXPR0)]:=colorvalue((EXPR0)); ENDFOR startsubtitle->...:mycmyk[i]:=colorvalue(i);endfor Strangely the following does work without problems: drawdot... withcolor colorvalue(index); I got the code from the Metafun manual.

Any MacTeX users here?
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hello, I would like to have a rough estimate about the number of MacTeX users that also use ConTeXt minimals (I use MacTeX for compiling LaTeX documents and often also use it for a month or two ... until it starts diverging too much with Minimals). I'm testing a tiny script to create an entry in "TeX Distributions" Preference Pane which would allow one to switch distributions with a GUI (PrefPane has to be fixed first in order to enable proper functionality). I'm particularly interested in PPC users as testers since ConTeXt doesn't use universal binaries as MacTeX does. I will first try to prepare a tiny script that would just create a new entry for the Preference Pane (I have it ready, but it needs some polishing). I hope that it will be possible to install the pane as a standalone package once TeX Live 2011 is out, but at the moment one will have to have it installed in order for this to work. If you are only interested in using it, you may just leave me a note off-list, so that I will have a rough estimate of interest. If you would like to discuss some ideas, feel free to reply to the whole mailing list. One problem that I'm not sure about is how to treat multiple installation on the same machine. The other one is the need for quick switches between distributions without GUI (I have a script texdist in /usr/local/bin, but I'm not sure if that one is up to date.) The next step would be a GUI installer, but that is not going to happen yet, at least not by me. (I'm thinking about it, but not for the close future.) Mojca

Dear Mojca, I am using Macbook and iMac installed Intel chip. I also installed MacTeX, but most documents are compiled using LuaTeX in Minimal. I installed MacTeX for LaTeX because many journals require papers which are typeset using LaTeX. Without it, I seldom use LaTeX. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

t-filter: no table created when Unicode characters are included
by Paul Menzel 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, the filter module installed using $ ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-filter" does not work with the following example, which is also attached. \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter[rest][filtercommand={pandoc -f rst -t context -o \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile}] \starttext There should be a table here. \startrest ========= ========= test table ========= ========= α b c d ======== ======== \stoprest \stoptext The output file `minimal-temp-rest.tex` is just empty. Replacing »α« by »a« solves the problem. Running `filtercommand` in a terminal produces the *correct* output though and no empty file. Is that a known problem? I also include a patch adding this example into `tests/` in [1]. Thanks, Paul [1] https://github.com/adityam/filter

Re: [NTG-context] Metafun shifting pictures - again
by Jeong Dalyoung 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hi all, I got the reason why the pictures locate in different position. "rotation" causes the problem. I defined domino as follows. It is not the exact code but just show the form of the codes. ... def domino (a, b, c, d ) save pic; picture pic; draw something 1; draw something 2; pic := currentpicture; draw pic rotated 90 shifted ( c, d ); enddef; and call it using \startbuffer[domino3] domino (1, 2, 3, 4); domino (2, 1, 1, 2); domino (3, 3, 2, 3); \stopbuffer and \processMPbuffer[]. it draw the first domino at the right place, but it is rotated when the second domino is drawn. Hence, it actually rotated 180 degree. Also two dominos rotated again when the third domino is drawn. Previous drawings are rotated again again when the function domino called. How to avoid this problem? How to draw one figure and move to wanted position and draw another figure and move to another location without changing the previous figure? If you want to see the whole codes, please see the attachment in the previous mail in ntg-context Digest, Vol 84, Issue 94. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

I guess vertical typesetting is a little more involved, but as far as horizontal typesetting goes, most of the spacing is coded into the font already (monospacing). When the Latin alphabet enters, as is becoming more and more common, especially in technical literature, the monospacing breaks down, and common practice is to just typeset paragraphs in block form, adding the necessary spacing. Typescripts are already working wonderfully in ConTeXt (thank you!), so for now it should be only a matter of supporting the characters. I don't know what character categories and initializations are, but if I can be of any help, please let me know. Severin

restrict # TeX Context runs

I am typesetting a lot of small Metapost pictures, each on a separate page: from a few hundred to more than thousand. ConTeXt will pass some three times over the input, but I need just the bare Metapost pictures. My guess is, that one pass over the input will be sufficient to provide a view to all the pictures. How can I restrict the number of passes in the ConTeXt run? It surely is simple, but I cannot find the macro. Hans van der Meer

Problem with \definehead
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hello, please look at the following minimal example: ---- \definehead[chapterMiddle][chapter] \setuphead[chapterMiddle][align=middle] \definehead[sectionMiddle][section] % Try to comment this line! \definecombinedlist[content][part,chapter,chapterMiddle] \setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c] \setuplist [chapter,chapterMiddle] [alternative=b,before=\blank,after=\blank,style=bold] % Commands \def\startTitlePage{ \bgroup \let\chapter=\chapterMiddle } \def\stopTitlePage{% \egroup \page } %%% \starttext \placecontent % = TOC \page \chapter{Cha1} \startTitlePage \chapter{Cha2} \stopTitlePage \stoptext ---- Its goal is to define \(start/stop)TitlePage command in which heads will be centred (although they are not mid-aligned by default). (I don't know if my approach is the best - I'm using \chapterMiddle instead of \chapter for this, which is defined as mid-aligned). A \chapterMiddle is derrived from \chapter and has middle alignment. I would need to do a similar thing with \sectionMiddle. The problem is that when I derive a next style - "\definehead[sectionMiddle][section]" (try to comment the proper line), look of the TOC changes (?!) - some extra space before "Cha2" appears; see both test21.pdf and test22.pdf. So how to keep the same look of the TOC? And - would you recommend any better solution how to define \(start/stop)command which would force heads to be mid-aligned?

Additional title after enumerations-head
by Stefan Müller 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hi list, in one of my documents (MkIV) I defined several different enumerations with \defineenumerations. Currently their only differences are in the values of "text=" and "style=". With the following I got what I wanted so far: \defineenumeration[lemma][text=Lemma, location=serried, width=fit, style=slanted, indenting=yes, prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter, indentnext=no] \starttext \startlemma Some slanted text. \stoplemma \stoptext Results in "Lemma 1 Some slanted text", head in bold and the text slanted. But now I have some lemmata that should get some kind of title, for example: "Lemma 1 (Farkas Lemma) Some slanted text." How can I achieve this without defining a new description for every "special case"? I tried something like "\startlemma[right={My title}]" without avail. I want the "title", "(Farkas Lemma)" in the above example, to be placed before the added "distance". In addition I would like to be able to set (within \definedescription for all lemmata would be enough) whether I want the "title" to be bold (like the head "Lemma 1") or not. Is all or some of this possible? I'm pretty confident that ConTeXt can already handle this, but I don't know how. Thanks in advance for any hints! Kind regards, Stefan

Colors: printing vs. on screen
by Erik Margraf 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Dear List, I defined the following color for one of my documents: \definecolor[P][r=0.64,g=0.22,b=0.27] When I printed this document on a probably typical office laser printer (a Canon iRCXXXX), the colors didn't match. (not even close and I didn't like the printed color) This is probably no real surprise, but can anybody provide some insight or hints to information on these matters to me: -- Are "spot colors" the thing to use to get a grip on these matters? -- Is this generally only a matter of "color spaces" and transformations between them? or ... -- Is this also dependent on specific printer models (eg. different office laser printers)? -- If yes, is there any source on information on the pecularities of these printers? kind regard and thanks Erik

More chemic module woes

Change the appearance of a list of bibliography (\placepublications)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hello ConTeXtist. Is there any possibility to influence the appearance of a list of bibliography when I make it in MKIV minimals using the command \placepublications? I am thinking in particular spacing, stoppers etc. Specifically, I need to change the alignment of reference items and increase the gap between an item and the relevant literature item. At this moment, the result looks like this: ... [9] item 9 [10]item 10 [11]item 11 but I want it to look as follows: ... [9] item 9 [10] item 10 Can someone please advise? Thanx Jaroslav Here is my example: \setupbibtex[database={samplebib}] % Content of file samplebib.bib : % % @MISC{1,note={item 1}} % @MISC{2,note={item 2}} % @MISC{3,note={item 3}} % @MISC{4,note={item 4}} % @MISC{5,note={item 5}} % @MISC{6,note={item 6}} % @MISC{7,note={item 7}} % @MISC{8,note={item 8}} % @MISC{9,note={item 9}} % @MISC{10,note={item 10}} % @MISC{11,note={item 11}} % @MISC{12,note={item 12}} % @MISC{13,note={item 13}} % @MISC{14,note={item 14}} % @MISC{15,note={item 15}} % \setuppublications[setupinteraction=start, alternative=ams, sorttype=cite, criterium=cite] \setuppublicationlayout[misc]{% \insertnote } \starttext Cite \cite[2], \cite[1].

ConTeXt Minimals: How to install fonts?
by Paul Menzel 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, I want to use Neo Euler (euler-otf) and was wondering if there is an option for `first-setup.sh` to install fonts? What is the recommended way to install fonts? Using a GNU/Linux distribution should I use those tools to install fonts? I read [2], [3] and [4] but could not find a definite way besides copying the files to the corresponding directories. Thanks, Paul [1] https://github.com/khaledhosny/euler-otf [2] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Structure#fonts [3] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts [4] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052632.html

non-unicode glyphs in ttf fonts
by Stef Schoonderwoerd 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Dear all, My last question concerning feature files has been resolved, my feature files now work fine. But there is one problem that still remains. The standard ligatures in the font I use (Andron Mega Corpus) work fine when approached by name in the feature file (some of them are in the PUA here); However, other ligatures, notably Th, do not work in stable nor beta. When I run context mkiv and it calls on e.g. the Th ligature, i get "!LuaTeX error (file:(...)): Invalid glyph index (gid ...). I tested it on palatino linotype which does the same. Interestingly, the gid that luatex says is invalid is always the one after the last glyph in the font (For palatino linotype, 1328; for Andron Mega Corpus, 5486). In Andron Mega Corpus, I furthermore tested all the ligatures that had a unicode codepoint (PUA) and they all work when referenced by name. All those that do not, however, fail to work. What is going on here? Working on Mac OS X 10.6.7, btw. Some help is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Stef Schoonderwoerd

Hello ConTeXist again, I found an irregularity in the functioning of the latest minimals beta version and earlier versions. When a create list of bibliography (in a my little special format), then item numbers are aligned left, whereas previously been aligned to the right. In addition, the number of items and this item almost no space (especially when double-digit item number). Previously everything (for example in TexLive MKIV version of ConTeXt) was OK! Here is example of result: Now: [1] item 2 [2] item 1 [3] item 4 [4] item 3 [5] item 5 [6] item 6 [7] item 7 [8] item 8 [9] item 9 [10]item 10 [11]item 11 [12]item 12 Earlier: [1] item 2 [2] item 1 [3] item 4 [4] item 3 [5] item 5 [6] item 6 [7] item 7 [8] item 8 [9] item 9 [10] item 10 [11] item 11 [12] item 12 Is there any way to get the original (earlier) settings?

Hey list, I have a table with four columns. The first three are fine as fixed width and fairly narrow, but I need the fourth one to be larger to accommodate text that can wrap for two or more lines. How would I go about doing this? I'm guessing something needs to said in the \starttable[|c|c|c|c|] last field, but I can't figure out what from the documentation. The syntax is a little elusive.

PDF Viewer Navigation Tree
by Kip Warner 18 Jun '11

Hey folks, I'm not sure where to be looking, as this may well be a feature already implemented in ConTeXt or its lower level dependencies. I couldn't find anything in the mailing archives, nor in the reference manual or wiki. In my PDF viewer Evince, I have a navigation tree in the side bar that allows me quick access to various parts of some PDF documents. When I was using Texinfo, this was generated automatically for each @chapter / @section / @subsection / etc when the PDF was being written out. I noticed this doesn't appear to happen automatically with ConTeXt. How does one go about doing the same in ConTeXt? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Letter module : pdf not created
by Mathieu Dupont 18 Jun '11

Hi, I work with MkIV (ConTeXt Minimals) on a Mac (64). I just installed the Letter module with : ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-letter" It runs with no error, but no .pdf file is created (in fact, only .log and .tuc are created), even though the .log file says : mkiv lua stats > result saved in file - Letter.pdf Could it be due to an "intel" somewhere in some file of the Letter module that I should change for "64" ? Anyone has an idea, or has encountered the same problem ? Thanks for any help ! \usemodule[letter]\starttext \startletter \input knuth \stopletter\stoptext Mathieu
