So let's test if I have understand this: With \setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=no|yes] one can disable|enable a backaddress. With \setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=no|yes|auto] one can select between no backadress| a composed backaddress from the fromdata| the yes behaviour if no predefined backaddress is defined And to define such a own backaddress, one uses \setlettervalue{backaddress}{something} Hopefully this is right!

Interlinespace in headertexts
by Willi Egger 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi, When setting up a headertext in a \vbox there is no interlinespacing. Placing the same text in a \vbox in the text area there is the default interlinespacing. Is there a simple explanation for this behaviour? Using LuaTeX, Version beta-0.50.0-2009122422, ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.02 12:34 MKIV Minimal example attached. Willli

U3D inclusion
by gummybears 28 Mar '10

In november last year Hans Hagen was so kind to send me a copy of back-u3d.mkiv which is now included in the latest beta. As Hans mentioned the code he gave me is untested. After a couple of tests here are my findings *) The preview does not work at this moment. I only see a light blue square which can be activated. After which the 3d viewer shows the embedded 3d image *) Specifying several views as shown in back-u3d.mkiv shows up in the resulting pdf as "unknown view" *) I also experimented with different values for coo, c2c, roll etc. When not specifying any of these settings the embedded 3d is always shown with the incorrect roll i.e the roll is always 90 degrees off For anyone interested, the 3d file was produced with Asymptote 1.91 ( http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/) =============== Context sample code ============================== \starttext \startluaparameterset [u3d:myset:display:1] toolbar=false, preview="prcu3d/loading.png", view = { name = 'default', bg = {1,1,1}, mag = 25, coo = {2,2,2}, c2c = {0,0,1}, rot = {40,0,60}, roo = 2, lights = 'CAD' } \stopluaparameterset \useexternalfigure [cubes] [prcu3d/cubes.prc] [width=\textwidth, height=0.5\textwidth, display=u3d:myset:display:1] \placefigure[here]{3d cube}{\externalfigure[cubes]} \stoptext ========================== end of Context sample code =======================================

docs (was: Re: Microtype in ConTeXt)
by Michael Saunders 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Peter, that post of Hans's mainly argues that the old manual is good enough and then goes on to talk about development. For example: "Even an old manual can quite well describe functionality as much didn't change." It can if it ever did. I don't think cont-eni.pdf etc., describe the functionality well at all. "As one can visually get all kind of output and as typographical elements can interfere the ultimate manual would show $n!$ variants and become quite unreadable. There is no easy way out of this. " There is: describe each option concisely and abstractly, then you need only be concerned with $n$ elements. Almost every LaTeX package manages to do this successfully, and they are very usable. "More documentation would not help all users. " There needn't be more. It needn't be lengthy, just clear, complete, and concise. "There are quite some options that were never meant for usage beyond our own, but as we ship the full product, they become visible. No, they are not documented apart from the source. Yes, if useful they should be documented but why by me? " Because you are probably the only person on earth who understands them. Getting that knowledge out of your head and into others' will require an act of communication. "I only work on a manual (or article or whatever) if it's fun to do." That may be the problem! Hans, Here are some constructive suggestions. I hope you take them seriously: If you ever write another manual, perhaps when MKIV is complete, 1. Start from scratch. Throw away the old material. 2. Forbid yourself the use of code examples. They are a crutch which impedes communication. First, write the whole manual with normal, abstract, expository prose. When it's complete and explains everything fully---when it {\em makes sense}--- {\em then} illustrate it with as many code samples as you like. 3. Have a standard format, a sort of checklist, for what must be said about each argument, parameter, command and group of commands: ---What is its function? ---How is it used? ---What is it used for (what effect is it supposed to achieve)? ---What are the options? A regular format like this will make it much easier on you. You'll have a regular structure that you simply have to fill in. It might even make the task more fun. 4. Get someone to serve as an editor. These will solve most of your writing problems. I look forward to a new manual someday. Thanks, -- Michael

Our problem is that they are sketchy and rambling, bits and pieces of this and that without any systematic explanations. Often they are just some unexplained code samples that communicate nothing (unless you happen to be the guy who invented the language). I can't think of one command that is fully explained along with all its possible parameters. The wiki is better written, but even less complete. It might not be possible to do better, but this is a huge obstacle to anyone who actually wants to use ConTeXt. The docs hint at a lot of features that sound better than LaTeX, but actually getting them to work is a different story.

Microtype in ConTeXt
by Yan Zhou 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

Dear all, I am thinking about moving from LaTeX to ConTeXt. But there is one thing make this particularly difficult. That is the microtype LaTeX package. More specifically I have the following questions (assuming I will use MKIV and luatex) 1. I understand that ConTeXt can do margin kerning and font expansion, but is there a way to setup a configuration file for each font set. Like the mt-foo.cfg file for font family foo when using microtype in latex. 2. Is there a way to do letterspace in ConTeXt. I understand there is a command called \stretched. But what I want is the feature like the tracking option in microtype package, which can automatically letterspace all small caps. Moreover is there a way to define new sets of fonts for letterspace. For example I defined a new font shape called \capshape, which use case tags of OpenType, and I want to use letterspace this shape with certain amount all the time because I am not satisfied with the space provided by the cpsp tag of OpenType. I am sorry for using and LaTeX terminology. I haven't start learning ConTeXt at all at this stage. I want to first know if it provide all the features I need before I spend my time on learning a new language.

marginal note problems
by Michael Saunders 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Thank you for the help with headers---it worked. My marginal note problems continue: If I have a two-column text with margins on either side, is there a way for \inmargin{} or something like it to place text in the margin next to the column where it occurs? I haven't been able to avoid it overprinting the text in the opposite column. I tried using margin blocks but I couldn't get anywhere with them. Even: \startmarginblock test \stopmarginblock produces no output. And there is a new wrinkle: \setupinmargin[align=outer] ruins my footnotes. It causes the footnote marks that occur before the notes themselves to appear one margin-length left of where they should be, even if the overprint text.

status of node.write
by Michail Vidiassov 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Dear All, I notice that broken code for inserting movies uses node.write in codeinjections.insertmovie (in back-pdf.lua), while figures.checkers.mov (in grph-inc.lua) expects text return from codeinjections.insertmovie to feed to "texsprint(ctxcatcodes". The 3D annotation code (it also seems not to work) has node.write variant commented out and replaced with "texsprint(ctxcatcodes" with "brrrr" comment! local annot, preview, ref = backends.pdf.helpers.insert3d { ...... } -- node.write(pdfannotation(width,-height,0,annot())) texsprint(ctxcatcodes,format("\\pdfannot width %ssp height %ssp {%s}",width,height,annot())) -- brrrr --~ if ref then -- wrong ! a direct ref should work --~ texsprint(ctxcatcodes,format("\\smash{\\pdfrefximage%s\\relax}",ref)) -- brrrr --~ end texsprint(ctxcatcodes,"\\stopfoundexternalfigure") And the question is: does it make sense to try to make the current 3D annotation handling code work by complaining to the maintainers and/or fixing it myself or nothing is supposed to work till migration to from "texsprint(ctxcatcodes" API to "node.write" API is complete?

Compiling under Windows (Visual Studio 2008)
by Graham Douglas 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi I hope this message is not too off topic but I thought I would ask here first. I would very much like to (try...) to compile LuaTeX using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. But I'm not sure if this is likely to be enormously complex and maybe too difficult (for me, anyway). Does the list know it is possible to build LuaTeX under Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 --- if so, is this possible from Taco's source distribution without having to make substantial changes to anything. One small thing I can confirm is that Lunatic Python can be quite easily compiled to a Windows DLL to enable Python calls from Lua and hence LuaTeX on Windows. LuaTeX's support for exteral modules now makes it quite easy to do this. I can confirm this seems to work, although I've not really pushed it hard. The following very simple example does work. Inspiration for doing this is due to the intersting article by Luigi Scarso in the latest TUGBOAT. Here's a simple example (far away from the complexities of Luigi's work, but it shows the basic principle). This code is just quick hack to get it up and running. \directlua 0{ lib=package.loadlib('python.dll','luaopen_python') lib() pmw = python.globals() p=python.import('Image') im = p.open("c:\\logo.gif") r,s,t=im.format, im.size, im.mode tex.print(r,tostring(s),tostring(t)) sys = python.import("sys"); tex.print(tostring(sys.version_info)) } \stoptext Many thanks in advance to anyone who has time to share their expertise and insight on a Windows build. Why build it? Just as a way to learn more about how it works, that's it really. Warm wishes to all Graham

But we need to setup something before \ldots } \stoptext A few things in the result surprise, and worry, me: 1, the actual text page does not coincide with (what I assume is) the reserved space on the A3-folio (that is, it partially falls outside the area with the green border). Thus in particular the left margin with its margin text falls partly outside this area (which is also clear when one uses \setuppapersize[A4][A4] in the preamble. ) The margin itself is, of course, wide enough to contain the margin note. Why is this and how can it be avoided? In fact this usually happens to me: the margins partly fall outside the page. Very annoying. 2, \setupinmargin[left][align=left,.. ] actually right-aligns the left margin note and vice versa. To left-align it I had to give \setupinmargin[right]. Seems odd to me. Is this normal? Since I frequently have to use margin texts I hope somebody can help me out. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

three problems
by Michael Saunders 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

1. central headers with margin overhanging: I find that the following line: \setupheadertexts[margin][\rlap{\getmarking[section]}\hfill][\hfill\llap{\getmarking[subsection]}] will set up a header nicely, overhanging the margins. To be clear, I meant that: the left header text begins at the leftmost extreme of the left margin and goes as far right as it needs to, even above the text area, and the right header text begins whereever it has to, even above the text, to end at the rightmost extreme of the right margin. On the other hand, this code: \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}] \startsetups[text a] \rlap{\getmarking[section]}\hfill \hfill --center text here-- \hfill \hfill\llap{\getmarking[subsection]} \stopsetups can place a center header text. Is there a way to do both? 2. marginal notes with columns: If I have a two-column text with margins on either side, is there a way for \inmargin{} or something like it to place text in the margin next to the column where it occurs? I haven't been able to avoid it overprinting the text in the opposite column. 3. leftward protrusion: When I look at my output with \showgrid, it's clear that there is no leftward protrusion at all. Everything is flush with the margin, even 'T' and 'J'. I'm using: \definefontfeature[...][default][...,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hanging,hz]

setupinmargin failing?
by Hans van der Meer 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

I tested margin notes and may have found a discrepancy with the (albeit old) manual. \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinmargin[][align=right,foregroundcolor=red] \starttext ABC\inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm,foregroundcolor=red]{R1}} \inleft{L1} \stoptext This shows un uncolored "L1". But according to the manual there is a parameter choice as in \setupframed. This means for example colored contents with foregroundcolor. The code above leaves "L1" black, but does honor the color inside the framed. I also fail to see a difference between the align options right, middle, left. Something wrong? Or something not understood? ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.20 22:59 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.23 int: english/ english Hans van der Meer

header in the middle on doublesided layout
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hello, I would like to set a different header on left and right page, but I would like it to be centered on page. How do I do that? The command \setupheadertexts[a][b] puts "a b" on one page and "b a" on the other while \setupheadertexts[a][b][c][d] puts "a b" on one page and "c d" on the other. On single-sided layouts I could use \setupheadertexts[a] or \setupheadertexts[][a][] but using 6 parameters on double-sided doesn't work. I am now hacking with \setupheadertexts[\hbox{\kern-5mm\myheaderright}][][][\hbox{\myheaderleft\kern-5mm}] \def\myheaderright{\hbox to "textwidth+10mm"{...}} but that's a bit ugly. Mojca

Selectively dropping page numbers

The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition, states that page numbers are normally omitted on pages containing only illustrations or tables, except in long sequences of figures or tables.

incorrect size of the font bounding box with MkIV

overlays not working

Hello context gurus, while learning about page design, I used Hans Hagen's sample file named "Simple Cover Page" from the wiki as a starting point. But it does not work. The overlay will not show up. The text itself is typeset properly. What I found out: Source: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Cover_Page saved as "test.tex". Procedure: 1 using TeX Live 2009 texexec --xtx test.tex No overlay, text ok 2 using TeX Live 2009 texexec --pdf test.tex No overlay, text ok 3 using online engine on live.contextgarden.net (pdfTeX) No overlay, text ok 4 using online engine on live.contextgarden.net (XeTeX) No overlay, text ok 5 using ConTeXt minimals context test.tex All working just fine System: ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala) amd64, TeX Live 2009 without any modifications The only successful procedure was (5) with the most current ConTeXt-minimals distribution and therefore using the Mk IV version. Is the file not suitable for Mk II? Is something wrong with Mk II in TeX Live 2009? What am I doing wrong here? Best regards, Michael Ewe, Germany

framedtext
by Hans van der Meer 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

I experience the following behaviour of framedtext in relation to inright and inleft. With \startframedtext[offset=value] the positioning of left and right margin inserts shifts with the size of 'value'. The next example shows the shift to the right of L2 and R2 (both mkii and mkiv). Change the offset to see the margin notes L2/R2 shift. \starttext \showframe[text,margin,edge] ABC \inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R1}} \inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L1}} \startframedtext[offset=2cm] XYZ \inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R2}} \inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L2}} \stopframedtext \stoptext Pictured: ..L1.|...................|.R1 .....|.L2................|.....R2 .....|...................| .....^...................^ ^ = frame lines of showpage I wonder if this is correct behaviour. The margins are imho fixed areas, defined as the areas on the left/right of the textframe. One would expect the margin texts put just there, not influenced by something that happens to be placed in the text. Or am I amiss? Hans van der Meer

\hyphenation problems
by Tom 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

When I wrap text around the right side of a figure, the justification along the right margin is a bit ragged in a couple of places. One problem is that it can't hyphenate cfbdatawarehouse.com, even when I provide the hyphenation via a \hyphenation command. The malhyphenation error seems to be caused by the embedded dot. Another line ends with last letter of the last word on the line (head) extending into the margin. That word cannot be hyphenated. How does on get the justification to work correctly in such cases?

Missing math symbols (MK-IV)
by gummybears 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, In a previous email I commented that the integral symbols, when using the unicode font Cambria or Asana, don't look ok. It has to do with the way e.g \iint, \iiint etc are constructed. Whether or not the symbol is present in the unicode font, the tex macro \repeatintegral is used (fallback option). I don't want to use the Cambria or Asana font entirely, as the other math typesetting doesn't look nice. Just for the missing symbols. Found an earlier post (Thomas A. Schmitz titled symbols in luatex date 2008-01-02) where a solution was presented by Wolfgang Schuster. Basically I am using his solution and came up with the following (only works ok in text mode). Also looked at definemathcharacter but not sure how to make it work with unicode fonts (could not find any documentation, looked at the source files, but don't know what to fill in for the 6 parameters to definemathcharacter) Question : what is the right way I can make this work (definemathcharacter, something else) ? Question : some of these symbols are defined in char-def.lua but missing in math-vfu.lua. What is needed to make them active ? Can I do it myself and send a list of missing symbols with their unicode value ?

More on Adobe Multiple Master fonts (not quite dead yet:-)
by Graham Douglas 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Dear Hans + Taco I have a question about "Minion Expert" fonts. I do have a copy of Idris's paper on this very topic but I'm not sure if this is still the way to install fonts via MKIV/LuaTeX. I'll give some background on what I'm doing, so my apologies to the list for the long post. [Note: happy to write this up in full for the Wiki at some point if of more general interest] I have been able to create hundreds of Minion instances and (with the excption of "Expert") successfully install them in Context --- works really very well. I have tested the PDF output with 500+ separate instances embedded, all seem to work perfectly --- provided the mmpfb settings are right. The resulting instances/fonts (.afm, .pfb) are output directly into the Context tree with names like MinionRegularRoman_wt525_wd600_op20.[afm|pfb] Generally the names are formed as follows: Minion[Variety][Angle]_wt[num]_wd[num]_op[num] Variety = one of Expert,Regular,Smallcaps Angle = one of Roman,Italic After refreshing the font lists/file name databases all instances can all be accessed through commands like this \definedfont[MinionRegularRoman_wt450_wd600_op10 at 12pt] --- I intend to write a typescript to set them up properly but these are early days for me with Context. I'm hoping that the above font naming convention will allow me to write a quite flexible set of typescripts... eventually. The only one that does not work is the Expert font (no surprise I guess) As mentioned, my scripts output the fonts directly into the Context tree, for Regular,Smallcaps varieties that's all I have to do. Wonderful! So, to the "Expert" variety... Clearly, this font has a "non standard" encoding vector which is causing the problm (I guess). The AFM records EncodingScheme FontSpecific If I install instances like MinionExpertRoman_wt350_wd450_op10.afm then run the minimal example \starttext \definedfont[MinionExpertRoman_wt500_wd450_op10 at 12pt] This is an interesting test. 1234567890. filling, fill. ABCDEF. \stoptext When I run this for the firt time I get !load afm : reading c:/Context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/afm/minion/MinionExpertRoman/MinionExpertRoman_wt500_wd450_op10.afm !load afm : unifying c:/Context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/afm/minion/MinionExpertRoman/MinionExpertRoman_wt500_wd450_op10.afm !afm glyph : assigning private slot U+F0000 for unknown glyph name Acutesmall !afm glyph : assigning private slot U+F0001 for unknown glyph name nineoldstyle <snip> The resulting PDF is blank, apart from the dot and commas in the sample text "This is an interesting test. 1234567890. filling, fill. ABCDEF." So, finally to my question: what additional work do I need to do to fully integrate the Expert fonts to access some of the nice features of these fonts? Warm wishes Graham =======

Table of contents
by Alain Delmotte 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi! I have two question about table of contents. 1) is it possible to have the toc at the end of the document. I tried to place \placecontent or \completecontent at the end and it didn't work; I only managed to have the toc at the beginning of the document. 2) If I define my own header (like in ConTeXt an excursion: 5. Headers) and so, for example, replacing \section by \myheader, which has a section level, the table of content is empty! If the information is in another document, please give me a pointer, thanks!

stripping space from xml nodes
by Hans van der Meer 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

In order to have (1) <abc>text</abc> behave the same as (2) <abc> text </abc> one can use \xmlstripped{node}{lpath}. However, the drawback is that I found there is no further node expansion of inner content. For example \xmlstripped with <abc>text <somenode/> text</abc> returned "text <somenode/> text". I have already reported earlier that I could not see \xmlstrip{node} {lpath} work as I understood it. That is, it seems to me that in: \startxmlsetups xml:abc \xmlstrip{#1}{} \stopxmlsetups this would strip the spaces from (2) above. It didn't do that, while I also tried of course \xmlstrip in the node enclosing <abc>, also to no avail. As a work around one finds: \startxmlsetups xml:abc \ignorespaces % removes spurious space before \xmltext{#1}{} \unskip % removes spurious space after \stopxmlsetups but it is the sort of a kludge I do not feel happy about, apart from the fact that either this has to be put everywhere or another macro layer put around all \xml's suffering. This boils down to two questions: (1) how about \xmlstrip? (2) is the observed behaviour of \xmlstripped (not expanding nodes below) as it should? As Hans Hagen mentioned before he would have I look into it, I kindly ask if he already has found time for this. Hans van der Meer

Suppressing *after* point 3 or point 5 also gives an error. In fact, it looks like there should be an empty line after the \remark or \subremark, but not for the first group! (NB. I did add the line number to avoid misunderstanding going from a Windows CRLF to other CR or LF) Alain

Adobe Multiple Master Fonts: support in LuaTeX?
by Graham Douglas 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi All A few (ie > 10) years ago I purchased the MinionMM and MyriadMM Multiple Master typefaces from the long-defunct Adobe Type on Call. I have the full set including the expert fonts. They were really quite expensive so I would really like to find out if they are (or will be) supported by LuaTeX. Having installed FontForge (FF) on my PC I note that FF certainly supports them. So, I was wondering if MM technolgy, even though it is kinda obsolete, is or will be supported? For sure, you can certainly create individual instances via Akira's port (thank you Akira) of the LCDF Typetools (specifically mmafm, mmpfb) http://www.lcdf.org/type/index.html I've tried this and the resulting PFB/AFM files definitely work with Context --- even got my first very simple typescript to work :-) I would be very interested to know the current support, or planned support, for being able to create "multiple master instances" on the fly. For sure, I appreciate that MM support may just not be worth the effort because the technology is "old" and few people are interested in this? Or it may be that it's too much work to create and then install instances on the fly. But the fonts are nice... and cost a lot :-( Warm regards Graham

Using external libraries in LuaTeX
by Graham Douglas 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Dear All In a the recent Luatex 0.46.0 announcement http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2009-November/001118.html experimental support for loading external libraries was reported. I am running Windows Vista with ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.12 19:49 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.16 int: english/english with LuaTeX, Version beta-0.51.0-2010031309 (rev 3479) I have also downloaded Lua 5.1 from http://luaforwindows.luaforge.net/ and so have Lua5.1.dll installed. This distribution has a number of interesting extenal libraries (ie DLLs) that I would like to try out with LuaTeX. If I can make progress I would be happy to document and write-up my experiments for posting on the Wiki in case they may be of interest to others. I should say that my coding skills are somewhat rusty as I've been away from programming/TeX for a few years... so do please excuse my "simplistic" questions :-) So, I was wondering if anyone has a minimal example they would be kind enough to share, or can give me a few pointers/guidelines so that I can start experimenting. In particular, I'm interested to call external libraries and inject the output from an external library into TeX for typesetting. For example, is it possible to load a library once, keep it loaded and access the library functions from different commands during the TeX run? In outline... --- run some code to load the library (initialisation) --- keeping the library available --- some commands\definitions to accss library functions eg \calltolibrary{....) --- make callsto library and pass the output into TeX for typesetting I would be very grateful for any guidance/help that can be offered. Warm wishes to all Graham

By the way, XeTeX also breaks, but in a different way. "Računalne mreže" becomes "RaÄ“unalne mreÅ¾e". Same option also doesn't do anything. MkIV works nicely, and I know I should probably be using that, but LaTeX with hyperref can do unicode bookmarks in both XeTeX and pdfTeX, so it would be really cool if ConTeXt would be able to do it as well.

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 69, Issue 95

Wolfgang Schuster: > \setupbodyfont[pagella] > > \definefontfeature[smcp][smcp=yes] > \definefontfeature[frac][frac=yes] > > \setuphead[chapter][textstyle=\addfs{frac}\addfs{smcp}] ... This is just an example, but what I think you mean to say by it is that the new command \addfs{} has the behavior I describe, but only for otf features and not for things like switching to semibold or to condensed (and, presumably, even if I'm able to define my own commands for things like semibold, something like: \sb ABC \it DEF would set the DEF at regular weight). Since I've never seen anyone talk about \addfs{}, but only give examples, I'm guessing (but just guessing) that there exists somewhere a list of what otf features are active at any given point, and that this command can add to that list. That's great. I might not need it anytime soon, but I'm just curious---are there other commands of this kind? Maybe something to clear the list? That leaves me the problem of installing sets with more than two weights, more than one width and several design sizes, as we spoke about earlier. It's late in the day here, but I hope to try that out tomorrow. Just to make sure I understand the example you and Mojca gave me: > \definebodyfont [default] [rm] > [tf=Serif sa 1, > bf=SerifBold sa 1, > it=SerifItalic sa 1, > sl=SerifSlanted sa 1, > bi=SerifBoldItalic sa 1, > bs=SerifBoldSlanted sa 1, > sc=SerifCaps sa 1] > > You could add your > in=SerifYourFontVariantName sa 1, > bd=SerifYourOtherFontVariantName sa 1, I think I can add this block to the top of my own typescript, duplicate the existing definitions as shown, and, when making up my own, I think I'm free to define font switches with more than two characters, so, e.g.: sbexit=SansSemiboldExtendedItalic sa 1 so, I won't be able to switch variants of this kind independently, but at least I can get them installed. After that, I'll move on to the optical examples and see what I can do about that (I'm hoping they provide for automatic switching of design size). Thank you, -- m

Footnotes and interaction again
by Philipp Gesang 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Hi again, I just ran into the footnote problem again, this time when referring to labels inside footnotes. As in the earlier thread the issue occurs with mkiv only. Example: ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------- \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] \starttext \startfootnote A label \reference[label:1]{} we will refer to. \stopfootnote \page[yes] \goto{Here}[label:1] we refer somewhere. It all happens on Page \ref[p][label:1]. \stoptext ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be precise, you don't actually have to refer to the label, having it inside a footnote causes the error. Thanks for any suggestions, Philipp

Wolfgang Schuster: > do you need all of your fonts at the same time in your document? Most of the time, one serif and one sans. I'd be happy to get these installed. Of course, High quality fonts often come in large sets. The varying weights turn up most often in the variations between different kinds of heads, occasionally in other things. Variations in optical size occur more frequently, besides in heads, in things like quotations, footnotes, and captions. Smallcaps (and sometimes, all-caps environments) often turn up in headers. It's nice to be able to switch easily between roman/italic and other things within environments like that---it's very nice if things like shape, weight and so on can be switched independently. It's also very nice if optical design sizes switch automatically with the current size. Consider, for example, something like this: a book on film with a header: "Fellini's Roma and 8 1/2". I'm used to setting something like this in this way: Fellini's \it{Roma} and \it{\cvfrac{8}{1}{2}} (where \cvfrac{}{}{} is a macro that gives me a compound vulgar fraction). The header is itself in smallcaps, so what comes out is: Fellini's <small caps> Roma <italic small caps> and <small caps> 8 <italic proportional lining> (italic and lining (i.e., uppercase) because it's a title) 1/2 <italic numerator><italic><italic denominator> all with minimal effort on the part of the writer. It seems natural that way. > Do you plan to switch between oldstyle and lining figures each sentence? I've certainly done that before, with lining for quantities and oldstyle for everything else (mostly chapter and page numbers). Of course, other sorts of numerals turn up a lot too---the numerator and denominator variants for fractions, the superiors for footnotemarks and ordinals, and occasionally inferiors as well. > Do you need condensed and regular width together in the running text > or do you want one in the text and the other in the header? The different widths of my sans is one thing I hadn't counted on using much (I spend more time in serif) but, since I have the fonts, I thought it would be nice to be able to use them. More than the specific uses I've mentioned above, I'm used to the freedom of being able to use what I have when the need arises. > ConTeXt is not a DTP program and has a completely different concept. I'm aware of that. I've been using LaTeX for fifteen years now. I keep hearing about Context and the work with Luatex and I want to try it out to see whether I can get higher quality. Loading and switching fonts is just the first hurdle. If it's too difficult to do this in Context, that's okay. I realize that it's a work in progress and these things may be improved someday. I just want to get as much working as I can right now so I can try out more things. I have two fonts to install. I've been at it for two weeks. I realize it might take a few more weeks and a lot of work. I know it's not as easy as dropping them in a folder. That's okay. I'll keep at it. > Before we can give you better answers think about what do want > to achieve and where do you need a certain font feature and style, > when you have a clear picture about this ty to describe it and we > try to help you.

Mojca ------------------------------ Wolfgang Schuster: > The last time i did this you needed for MkIV also > > \definefontalternative[in] > \definefontalternative[bd] > > but be carefull with the shortcuts, \in is already used (references). Thank you both. I want to begin experimenting with this, but there's one thing that still confuses me. If I have a font with say, forty different combinations of weight/width/shape (5x4x2), I will need to come up with forty different pairs like: myNewFontSwitch=SerifMyFontVariantName sa 1, a strain on the poetic imagination, but possible. It would be nicer though, if I could change weight/width/shape independently of each other (then I need have only 5+4+2 switches). For example, when I see something like: \rm\tf roman \it italic \bf bold resulting in: <book roman> <book italic> <bold roman>, it's surprising to see that \bf has turned off the italic---you don't expect a switch of the weight to have a hidden switch of the shape in it. Could the typescript be set up with fewer switches, so that: \rm\tf roman \it italic \bf bold would result in: <book roman> <book italic> <bold italic>, or, e.g., \rm\tf (regular book roman) \cd (condensed) \it (italic) \bf (bold) would result in: <regular book roman> <condensed book roman> <condensed book italic> <condensed bold italic>? (Also, I'm hoping that having a dozen different sets of font features won't require twelve times as many switches and feature names as this. I think there is some easier method for switching---Hans mentioned \addff{}, but I can't find anything in the docs. If that works, that would make two kinds of switches, one for some kinds of features and another for other kinds.)

I have been earnestly trying to understand how they work by attempting a slightly more complex one. So far, I have: ------------------------------------------------------- \definefontfeature[default][mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes] \definefontfeature[body][onum=yes,pnum=yes,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]%turn hz on %plus some I hope to use later \definefontfeature[tabular][sans=yes,tnum=yes,onum=yes]%turn hz off \definefontfeature[allcaps][cpsp=yes,case=yes,lnum=yes] \definefontfeature[smallcaps][smcp, onum=yes] \definefontfeature[swashes][swsh=yes] \definefontfeature[inferior][sinf=yes] \definefontfeature[superior][sups, ordn=yes] \definefontfeature[numerator][numr=yes] \definefontfeature[denominator][dnom=yes] \definefontfeature[prop-os][pnum=yes,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[prop-lin][pnum=yes,lnum=yes] \definefontfeature[tab-os][tnum=yes,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[tab-lin][tnum=yes,lnum=yes] \definefontfeature[ornaments][ornm=yes] \definefontfeature[lgc][script=latn,script=grek,script=cyrl] \starttypescript [serif] [junicode] \definefontsynonym[Junicode][name:junicode][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[Junicode-Bold][name:junicodebold][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[Junicode-Italic][name:junicodeitalic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[Junicode-BoldItalic][name:junicodebolditalic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [junicode] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Junicode][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold][Junicode-Bold][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic][Junicode-Italic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][Junicode-BoldItalic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [junicode] \definetypeface [junicode] [rm] [serif] [junicode] [default] [features=default,features=body,features=lgc,features=hanging,features=hz] \stoptypescript \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setupbodyfont[junicode,12pt] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- but, 1. tlig and trep aren't working, so evidently, features=default isn't getting through. No hanging or hz is happening either---probably the same problem. 2. As far as I can tell from trying to decode examples, there is some hidden connection between the first arguments of the second typescript block and the font switches. So, for example, a secret connection between SerifBoldItalic and \bi seems to connect Junicode-BoldItalic to \bi. Fine, but, in all the examples I've seen, there are no more than two weights and no widths. In some cases, I have five weights (light, book, medium, semi-bold, bold). How do I set up the typescript for this and the switches in the text? Must I learn more pairs like (SerifBoldItalic, \bi)?

After rotation, interaction does no longer work

Hi All, I've a document that is typeset in A5, and then arranged with 2SIDE. Interaction is enabled. Everything works, I can click on registers and table of contents to jump to the particular piece. However, if I add "rotated": \setuparranging [2SIDE,rotated] interaction appears to be disabled. Can this be enabled again? The following test document demonstrates the effect. The links in the table of content are still blue, not no longer clickable. Remove rotated, and it works: -------------------------------------------------- % interface=en \setuppapersize [A5][A4] \setuparranging [2SIDE,rotated] \setupinteraction [state=start, color=blue] \setupcolors [state=start] \starttext \subject{Table of contents} \placecontent[1] \chapter{Hello} World. \chapter{More} Text. \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- Process with "texexec --arrange" -- Thanks, Berend de Boer

xml with interaction fails in footnotes

The issue vanishes when I removing either the footnote environment or the interaction or the transliteration or the tag with the text to be transliterated. In the following minimal example I specified the lines that will make context process the file when commented out.
