Interletter spacing
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Hello, I asked this question long time ago, but cannot find the answer. How can I make interletter spacing a bit bigger? (I mean spacing between letters in words. And other characters too) \stretched fills the hbox and makes text really ugly. I need only a gentle stretching, without full justification. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] answers (cumulative reply :)

Thank you, friends, for answers. To Hahns: Can I make $$ envinroment behave like \startformula? In other words, to redefine $$ to be substituted by \start-stop formula? Writing \startformula and \stopformula every time is too verbose. To Mojca: OK, the current solution works for me. Don't want to complicate it further, just want to point out that Knuth compatibility is broken :) To Wolfgang: \setuplabeltext[ua][figure=Рис. ] works fine indeed. But how to make it numbered by subsection? Thanks again Vyatcheslav

Why formulas have space before but don't have space after
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Hello everyone again, There is a problem I encounter every time I use math and which drives me mad. Why formulas have space before but don't have space after? What is the most elegant way to dial with it? In the following example, the expression is glued to the text that follows (which is certanly unwanted): Допустимо нам поставлена задача з'єднати три точки на площині, що не лежать на одній прямій. Найпростішим рішенням такої задачі буде з'єднати послідовно дані точки відрізками прямих ліній, причому крива, при такому рішенні, буде апроксимуватися ламаною лінією. Рівняння прямих, що приходять через дві задані точки, як відомо, мають вигляд: $$(х−х_1)/(х_2−х_1)=(у−у1)/у2−у1),$$ де (х1, у1), (х2, у2) -- декартові координати першої і другої точок, відповідно. Best regards, Vyatcheslav

And it's not just pdftex, apparently. They say that luatex is affected too. That's primarily what I use. So we have both known symptoms (sort of - they're vague) and an allegedly known cause. Perhaps we have a diagnosis.

And in another document, "Looking over the Debugger’s Shoulders ", Koch summarizes what they discovered this way: http://www.tug.org/mactex/fontcache/Debugging.pdf > Two bugs contributed to the problem. First, pdftex, dvips, luatex, > and metapost were not correctly subsetting certain fonts. And > second, a large number of fonts contained subroutines which did not > conclude with a RETURN command. Many of these were created with the > utility mmpfb, which has been patched. Question: is this still a problem for luatex 0.44? (Please say no). If not, perhaps I should clean my caches and use only MkII/XeTeX. Even then, I gather that old documents created with luatex will still be little time bombs (see Appendix, below). I guess I have to delete all pdfs made by luatex and regenerate them as needed. That's a lot of documents. "Nasty" is right.

For the record, I used the simple method Wolfgang pointed to: restarting in "Safe Mode" then restarting again in normal mode. It's extremely easy with no software or mucking around in unusual directories. Specifically, I followed these instructions: http://www.ascendercorp.com/support/

\attachment not working in MkIV
by Matthijs Kooijman 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi, I've been trying to get \attachment to work, but I get a Lua error. The following example, (taken from scrn-int.mkiv and stripped a bit) provides an error: \setupinteraction[state=start] \useattachment[whatever][test.tex] \starttext \attachment[whatever] \stoptext The tail of the output is: interaction : active ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: attempt to index global 'interactions' (a nil value) stack traceback: <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \douseattachment ...newname="#2", filename="#2" }} \else \ctxlua {interaction... <to be read again> \starttext l.4 \starttext \attachment[whatever] \stoptext What's up with this?

Lua error on unailable fonts
by Matthijs Kooijman 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi, after upgrading to the latest context beta, I'm fased with the following lua error: define font | forced type otf of lmmono8-regular not found define font | font with name lmmono8-regular is not found [...] ! LuaTeX error /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:366: table index is nil stack traceback: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:366: in function </usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:261> (tail call): ? (tail call): ? /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/font-def.lua:549: in function 'read' /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/font-ctx.lua:359: in function 'command_2' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. Apparently there is still some font cache somewhere that's not updated, and context says it has a font that is not found. However, a bit further down, this crashes. The cause of this is that the "nullfont" is returned as defined in font-ini.lua, not just nil: fonts.ids[0] = { -- nullfont characters = { }, descriptions = { }, } This font has no name, but math-vfu.lua uses fs.name unconditionally. Either math-vfu.lua should be fixed to test for this, or a line should be added to the null font above: name = "", I've tested the latter, and it solves my immediate problem. Gr. Matthijs

Minimals
by Jörg Hagmann 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Installing the minimals on ubuntu works with "first-setup.sh" without remaking the formats, in both mkII and mkiv. Installing them on my mac (10.5.8) (same procedure), mkii only works after remaking the formats, whereas remaking them for mkiv didn't help (Fatal Error : Your format does not match the base files!). Shouldn't first-setup.sh behave the same way on both computers? Cheers, Jörg

The pdf that I took a picture of and the source that produced it are in a zip file at this address: http://carneades.pomona.edu/test/badpdf-source.zip If you're willing to have a look, that would be great. You may not see what I do. I walked down the hall and had someone else print this file earlier today. It looked fine using his copy of Preview (though he said he has seen something like what I reported in other cases). I'm mystified.

pdfs with boxes instead of letters
by Michael Green 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

When I open the pdfs that I make with ConTeXt (II or IV), I often see x'd out boxes instead of letters. I'm writing in the hopes that someone has some ideas about what I might do. Here is some more specific information about what happens 1. I have posted a jpeg of a representative page: http://carneades.pomona.edu/test/badpdf.jpg 2. The problem comes up when the pdf viewer is either Apple's Preview or Skim (which, as I understand it, uses the same basic code). This happens on machines with both OSX 10.4 PPC and 10.5 Intel. 3. It happens with a wide variety of fonts. 4. When opened with one of Adobe's pdf readers (Adobe Reader, Acrobat Pro), the file always looks fine. 5. Opening and closing the file can make the problem parts change. So, for instance, opening and closing the file can make it so that roman letters show while italic letters are crossed boxes or vice versa. Usually, if I do this enough, I can get to a normal view with all letters looking like letters. 6. It started happening in the spring. (I've been hoping it would go away in the normal course of ConTeXt changes.) One obvious answer is just to use Adobe's software. That won't work for me because those programs cannot successfully send a file to either of the printers I have available here. (They also don't automatically update when a file changes, which is a nuisance.) So I have a dilemma. If I want to print, I have to use the Apple and Apple-derived software. If I want to see letters, I have to use the Adobe software. But I cannot do both. I doubt this is a ConTeXt specific problem, but hope there might be a solution through ConTeXt. More generally, I would be terrifically grateful for any ideas about what to do. Thank you for your time. Michael

presentation (simple-slides?) master-like feature?
by Bruce 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

I've been gravitating to a presentation system where I author presentations in markdown, and then convert them to an HTML-based system that results in examples like this: http://www.users.muohio.edu/darcusb/s6test/test.html This allows me to focus on content, but very quickly create high-quality slides. So I have a kind of default representation of a slide, but I also have a couple of CSS classes that I attach (via XSLT) to individual slides depending on the content. For example, if I have a title without any other text content, then I attach a "title" class to the slide, which renders the title larger, and vertical-centered on the page. If there's a single image, I attach a "imgbig" class, which floats the image to the background, and enlarges it to fill the slide. I would like to be able to do the same with PDF using ConTeXt, ideally using simple-slides. I know some styles have similar parameter options for things like image placement, but I'm not seeing anything equivalent for titles. Is this possible to add? Bruce

filter contents of xml elements
by Jelle Huisman 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi all, First of all a big thank you to Hans for MkIV xml support which is so much easier to understand than the MKII based method (or is that just me?) Anyway, I'm processing a rather messy html file and I would like to do some conditional processing based on the actual content of the element. See example below: I have linked <h3> with \subject but I would like to drop this element if the content of the element matches 'Skip title'. Any hints? Thanks! Jelle \startbuffer[test] <html> <h3>Title 1</h3> <p>Hello world.</p> <h3>Skip title</h3> <p>Hello world!</p> <h3>Title 2</h3> <p>Hello world?</p> <h3>Title 3</h3> <p>Hello :-)</p> </html> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:setups \xmlsetsetup{main}{html|h3|p}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:setups} \startxmlsetups xml:html \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:h3 \subject{\xmlflush{#1}} % but drop this if content of element is 'Skip Title' \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext Expected outcome: Title 1 Hello world. Hello world! Title 2 Hello world? Title 3 Hello :-)

The best place to install fonts so it is discovered by mkiv?
by Janneman 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

According to an earlier and recent thread http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20091021.090505.4153465c.en.html#20… that finally were solved, thanks to Wolfgang and also Aditya. Here is a following question: Is there some convention where to place files, documents, fonts, modules and stuff? It seems in my case that LuaTools wasn't able to find the fonts in ~./fonts or even /usr/share/fonts. Not either in my minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/fonts/ directory But I had to create texmf-project/fonts/.. to make context to discover the fonts. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTex mentioned about setting osfontdir=.... which I did in my my /home/user/.bash_profile linked to .bashrc cat .bash_profile PATH=$PATH:/home/janerik/bin . ~/context/tex/setuptex set OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" It seems to have no effect. Very strange! :-( Here is my output from Luatools --generate command LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/texmf LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-project LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-fonts LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-local LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-context LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-linux LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-extra LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf LuaTools | fileio: scanning path /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-local It seems to only search these directories.

Problem or bug with enumerations in latest ConTeXt beta
by Kevin D. Robbins 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello all, I have attached a fairly minimal example that demonstrates three problems I currently have using an enumeration for code listings. The first problem is that \placelist[enumeration:listing] errors out with: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> ) \placestructurelist ...sts.process("#1","#2","#3") } \doplacerawlist ...mber \listparameter \c!number } \stoplistreferences \endgr... \doplacelist ...ginoflist \doplacerawlist [#1][#2] \doendoflist <to be read again> \par l.24 The second problem is that \in{Listing}[lst:b] produces Listing 2.2 rather than Listing 2 as I expect since I've asked for numbering way=bytext in \defineenumeration. How can I get the number produced by \in{Listing}[lst:b] to match the listing number typeset in the listing title? The third problem is that the document hyperlinks produced by \in{Listing}[lst:b] with interaction enabled don't seem to do anything. Cheers, Kevin

Context Typescript Maker tool
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hi all, I just developed a GUI tool called "Context Typescript Maker". It's purpose is to simplify font setup under Windows. 1) Point to folder with fonts (ttf, otf); 2) Specify typescript name; 3) Specify which font from the list will stand for Serif, which for SerifBold, and so on (select values from dropdown list); 4) Press "Create Typescript" and copy-paste the code into the preamble of your document. That's all! Example of code created: \starttypescript [serif] [TimesTenLTStd] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [TimesTenLTStd-Bold.otf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [TimesTenLTStd-BoldItalic.otf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [TimesTenLTStd-Italic.otf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [TimesTenLTStd-Roman.otf] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [TimesTenLTStd] \definetypeface [TimesTenLTStd] [rm] [serif] [TimesTenLTStd] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[TimesTenLTStd]\setupbodyfont[TimesTenLTStd, 11pt] The tools is written mostly by my own purposes (I often like to play with new fonts, and script preparation in this case is really boring). But I share it with a community and will be glad to improve it on requests. Any feedback (good/bad) is appreciated! P.S. Almost forgot.

format float numbers in luatex
by batela 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Dear Sirs, I'm looking a way to format float numbers. For example \ctxlua{text.print(sqrt(2))} give me 1.41421356237309504880 but i want 1.414. Is there a way to format real numbers. Note: I had tried \ctxlua{a = sqrt(a) ; aformat = string.format("0.3%f", a) ; text.print(aformat)} but that don't work because the % character thanks a lot Have a nice day jorge

Page Numbering Hell
by Bryant Eastham 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

All- A few days ago when I first stumbled on ConTeXt I was very, very excited. I have some 500 pages of technical documentation that could benefit from this, particularly since I need Japanese font support. But it has to be real. I'm sorry if this sounds caustic, but after 12 hours of failed attempts to even get a minimal document formatted I have some serious questions for the list: 1. Is Mark IV real? I am only somewhat joking here - after spending hours searching for reasonable documentation on even the most trivial options, I am left wondering whether this is something I want to use... 2. ConTeXt looks great. But what is current? Seriously, I like the look and the support (particularly Unicode). But going over documentation I cannot make heads or tails of what to do. Mark II? Mark IV? TeTeX? LuaTeX? If I really want to use this, what should I use? 3. Having answered #2, where in the world is a reference manual!!! I mean one that actually *documents the options*. 4. Having answered #3, are there any current examples that actually work? The snippets from the mailing are great, but they are just snippets. That doesn't help me. Now, to resolve my immediate issue, and just because I will not be able to sleep well until I figure this out (yes, I am fixated on this). I want this document structure: Contents 1. Chapter 1-1 1.1 Section 1-2 2. Chapter 2 2-1 2.1 Section 2-2 Table of contents on page "i". Even/odd, each chapter starts on right page. Page number (as in 2-2) in top margin. Mark IV, Lua document. I have tried hundreds of different combinations. If it cannot do this, the I will (with sadness) move on. I'm sure that it would take someone who understands this about 5 minutes to write (if that). -Bryant Panasonic Electric Works Laboratory of America - SLC Lab 4525 So.

How to learn context?
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Hi, I am a C++ programmer by profession. Typesetting is my hobby. I used to use LaTeX and Groff with ms macro package. Then I found ConTeXt and I find pdfs created mostly by Hans Hagen awesome. How to learn ConTeXt so that I can create documents of similar complexity. As a programmer I find most of the information with google when I face problem with LaTeX. But for ConTeXt I find very little information. All I know is wiki.contextgarden.net and manuals written by Hans. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

footnote-number alignment
by achim＠jander.de 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Hello, after struggling some weeks to get everything to work, i'm now nearly satisfied with typsetting via context. But there is one problem left for that i cant find any solution, even after googling for hours. I am typesetting documents with a large amount of footnotes, and want to have the footnote-number aligned to the correct decimal place. To explain: page one has footnotes 1 to 8, numbers are left-aligned, everything is good ----- 1 footnotetext 2 footnotetext 3 footnottext .... 8 footnotetext page two has footnotes 9 to 12, so I want to have 9 footnotetext 10 footnotetext ... but i only get: 9 footnotetext 10 foootnotextex. I think, there is no easy solution, but maybe someone can give me a push to the direction how i can realize that behaviour (btw same problem is with numbered lists) Any hint is welcome, Thanks a lot Achim Jander

Curiosity about math.random in LuaTeX
by Otared Kavian 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Hi all, This is a curiosity question about the function math.random coming from Lua and used in mkiv: if I typeset the following test file in mkiv, no matter when nor how many times, the sequence of numbers which are output are the same… %%% begin test-random.tex \starttext \dorecurse{25}{% \ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(110,150))} \qquad \ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(math.random(110,120),math.random (140,150)))} \par} \stoptext %%% end test-random.tex Indeed I guess that this is due to the random seed used by LuaTeX: is it possible to force a new random seed upon each typesetting? Thanks for your attention: OK

line numbering
by Andreas Harder 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Good morning everyone! I've discovered some strange behavior from line numbering (attachment). The size of the line numbers changes after a page break. Furthermore some settings for line numbers do not work. I tried some of the examples from strc-lnt.mkiv (at the bottom) … I want the numbers on the right side and would assume \setuplinenumbering [location=right, align=left]. Please have a look. Perhaps I did something wrong. Greetings Andreas

How do you position/move a MPgraphic?
by Daniel Bundzik 25 Oct '09

Hi! How do you position/move a MPgraphic? Let us us say that you have the MPgraphics "somebackground" and "somecolorcircle" (See example below). These MPgraphics are both framed and used as a background, upon which "sometext" is written on. How can you freely move or position "somecolorcircle"? ( I want to move "somecolorcircle" below "sometext") Naturally, I have read Metafun and tried "shifted (x,y)", \definelayer, \setlayer, register, \setMPlayer, \getMPlayer... In general, if you have defined two or more MPgraphics how do you position them (In my case "somebackground" is fixed while "somecolorcircle" could be anywhere on "somebackground")? How would you solve this?

Simple Newbie Question.
by Stirling Westrup 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

I'm hoping the answer to this question should be obvious, but I'm having no luck with it. I'm trying to do a layout for a 1-page datasheet. At the very bottom of the page, in some tiny font, I need to put a copyright notice and datasheet ID number. Ideally I'd like to define some fixed text block containing the text (as its exact size and font have not yet been finalized), and then somehow define the height of the footer to be exactly equal to the height of the text block. Once I've done that, I need to place the text in the footer. I've been going back and forth through the scattered bits of ConTeXt manual and the wiki, but I'm having no luck in figuring out how one might do this. -- Stirling Westrup Programmer, Entrepreneur. https://www.linkedin.com/e/fpf/77228 http://www.linkedin.com/in/swestrup http://technaut.livejournal.com

interstrutline spacing [with tex file!]
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

[oops, tex file attached this time] Dear gang, I am trying to create a grid background based on strut depth, so each line of text lies right in between the top and bottom of the respective strut. I borrowed some code from the wiki, and need help to solve the following [and I'm no metapost guru...]: 1. Line 31, 2nd line of pdf: How can I keep \framed[align={r2l,middle}] and get the interstrutline to still span the textwidth. In other words, every strutline should be of textwidth, regardless of alignment 2. Compare pages 2 and 3: page 2 has extra space at the top, perhaps a skipped line. How can I suppress that so that the first line always starts at the top of the textblock? 3. On page 3: How can I control the continuation of the strutlines past the final textline? What if, eg, I wanted to fill the rest of the page with strutlines? 4. How can I change the width and color of the strutline itself? 5. I use \setuplayout[grid=on], but I'm not sure that guarantees a grid ... \start-\stoplinecorrection seems to give a different result. [\showgrid seems broken so I can't directly compare]. Any tips to guarantee a grid? 6. Is there a way to pass the interstrutline background to \framed [so I don't have to type \start-\stopinterstrutline etc]? This kind of gridded background is very common in eg, the Arabic-script tradition, although it has many pedagogical and other uses as well. A general strutline mechanism might make a good addition to the distribution, or at least a nice module... Any help or tips to improve this background will be greatly appreciated!

Simplest slides

Hi everybody, I would like to be able to make very simple slides with ConTeXt, and I need a template. I would be very grateful if someone could point me to one. Think Apple's Keynotes or Lawrence Lessig's presentations. Plain background, not too much stuff on the slides whenever possible. If you need a more concrete example, here it is: http://archive.gpfreitas.net/work/seminars/en/sisl/turingt-pres.pdf It's just that I am experimenting with taking notes while I read a paper, and make a presentation direct from the notes. For that, using my favorite text editor is a lot better than using Apple's Keynote (which is otherwise very nice). Thanks, Guilherme -- Guilherme P. de Freitas http://www.gpfreitas.com

Context & emacs-muse [possibly OT]
by Roger Mason 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hello, I'm using emacs-muse to write a document to be published to ConTeXt. The document contains a little math. According to this wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_and_emacs-muse#Math it is possible to include math in muse using <math> and </math> tags, which trigger corresponding $ markup in the ConTeXt output. The problem is that a muse expression like <math>\sum type = nMn</math> is published as \switchtobodyfont[small]math\switchtobodyfont[big]\textbackslash{}sum type = nMn\switchtobodyfont[small]/math\switchtobodyfont[big] rather than the expected $\sum type = nMn$. The muse manual for the version I'm using (3.12) makes no mention of the <math> tags, so I'm wondering if it is an add-on written by (or available to) someone on this list. Thanks for any help (and sorry if this is a bit off topic). Roger

highlighting chars on a path

Hello, I am new to ConTeXt and I have looked on the internet for a way to do something special. Unfortunately I have not found any solution. I hope this is the right place for such a question. I apologise otherwise. I would like to highlight (e.g. put in bold, or change the color...) any character on a page which sits on a chosen path. I would like to be able to position for instance an invisible circle on a page and have all the characters "in contact" with this circle change color so that the circle become visible via these characters. Is it something I could do with ConTeXt? Thanks in advance. Aurelien
