Broken (invisible) external cross-references
by Jean-Philippe Rey 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hello, I am using external cross-references (across multiple files) and this seems to have been broken for a few months. Here is my minimal example: % file test_crossref1.tex \starttext \chapter[lorem]{Lorem} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit \in{Chapter}[lorem]. \stoptext % file test_crossref2.tex \useexternaldocument[xref][test_crossref1] \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit \in{Chapter}[xref::lorem]. \stoptext I get the correct reference "Chapter 1." in test_crossref2 with a ConTeXt version from March: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.78.2 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4746) ConTeXt ver: 2014.03.22 15:31 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.3.22 int: english/english With more recent versions (including the last one downloaded this morning), the chapter number doesn't appear in test_crossref2, I only get "Chapter .", not even "??". There isn't any error message in the log file. The internal cross reference (in test_crossref1) still works fine. I have the same faulty result with these three versions: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) ConTeXt ver: 2014.07.30 10:31 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.8.9 int: english/english This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) ConTeXt ver: 2014.09.06 20:59 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.9.11 int: english/english This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) ConTeXt ver: 2014.12.05 11:11 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.12.5 int: english/english Is this a bug or did something change in the way to build references from external files.

White Space in Running Headers
by Neal Lester 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

What is the best way to obtain precise control over the space between lines in a multi-line running header. I need to be able to set the font size within each line by point size. Different lines may have different font sizes (indeed, there may be different font sizes within a single line). I've tried a number of approaches but always seem to end up with unexpected white space somewhere. Thanks, Neal

new beta
by Hans Hagen 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. This one has some new font code - the generic code now uses the context code as of 2014-12-01 - that code uses a slightly faster access method - it works in plain but for latex the wrapper might need to be adjusted (as the base pass is now integrated) The context code uses a newer font handler that has - more extensive discretionary support (esp kerning and ligatures) - a new injector (not faster, only cleaner and suitable for the newer code) that i have tested for quit a while now If there are problems they can probably be fixed fast. A side effect can be that the result of runs is slightly different (more kerning and so). I have no clue about performance but it should be ok.

beta
by Hans Hagen 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The most interesting new thing is that the Lua based hyphenator is now better integrated. I showed that one (plus some features) at the last context meeting, and decided to clean it up a bit and prepare it for extensions. It might become the default hyphenator at some point. Performance is quite ok, especially when you take into account that the amount of time spent on hyphenating is not that large. You can test it with: \setuphyhenation[method=traditional] enables it and as by default we are a bit more tolerant to what a word is, you can enforce a more strict behaviour with \sethyphenationfeatures[strict] It is possible to control some aspects (even within a paragraph) but some of that is experimental. I'm working on a manual that explains details about how hyphenation works and how one can write plugins. There is already support for explicit hyphens and joiners (the default set) and patterns as discussed in "Hyphenation in OpenOffice.org" (TUGboat, Volume 27, 2006) should also work; you can for instance register additional patterns like this: \registerhyphenationpattern[en][eigh1tee/t=t,5,1] But that's for the happy few who understand and/or love such weird syntaxes. Anyway, this is the time to ask for more if you are in need, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I hope it helps. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

How does \setupfloat work?

drops: arbitrary path examples
by Peter Rolf 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi, just two example documents I made while testing arbitrary paths with the 'drops' module. I plan to release the module soon, so this is not more than an appetizer. The code is still messy and unfinished, but I probably don't have the time to change that. Creating the examples took away all my free time. Take it as it is or just wait two more years.. Now, before I write down the download link some ** SERIOUS WARNING!!! I MEAN SERIOUS!!! SOMEWHAT SERIOUS!!! ** Both documents use a considerable number of graphics and can significantly slow down or even freeze your hardware. Open the examples at your own risk (especially with products from Adobe)! [whew, just lost 87% of the viewers here] A 2-3 years old PC should be able to handle the examples in acceptable time (judging from my hardware). But not only hardware power is needed, the software can be crucial too. Viewers tested so far (rating in front), all on Windows 7. [++] SumatraPDF: no problems, lightning speed and very good viewing quality (love it!) [+] PDFExchangeViewer: no problems, good speed (you can still watch how the graphics are stacked) and viewing quality (color management if off though) [--] Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: 'out of memory' error after three pages (puddle), very slow speed, probably best viewing quality A real shame that the only viewer with problems is from the inventor of PDF. The 'pile' example from 2012 even crashed the viewer (v10), so this is still an improvement. Just let me know if there are any general problems. I will file a bug report then. Finally, the download link (you have been warned) :-D https://spideroak.com/browse/share/indiego/public/ConTeXt/drops/ Some technical info about the examples: [sigh, lost all my viewers right here] leafs: 150 leafs (six different colored bitmaps), resolution = 300ppi based on this graphic (thanks for sharing) http://openclipart.org/detail/10517/leaf-by-yves_guillou-10517 puddle: 200 MP graphics, resolution = 600ppi Only one shadow graphic is created for the main object (which is also reused then). Variation comes from scaling/rotation. The big 'drops' text in Copperplate is a MP graphic, but in theory it should be possible to add shadows to glyph paths. We will see. To ensure the readability of the few other text elements, both documents use the drops module to lighten the underlying background. A simple 'boxshadow' with a bright shadowcolor and a proper radius (maybe plus some offset) is all you need for that. This is a feature that I always wanted, way better than editing/creating the background areas by hand (correct position/size? a lot of try and error, a real pita). All done on the fly now, which is nice (me lazy). [OK.. all said, stopping now; so much text for a stupid link] Have fun, Peter

No number on first page
by Richard Sherman 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi all, I have seen this question asked several times and not answered in a way that has worked for me. To suppress a page number on the first page, in LaTeX I would use \thispagestyle{empty} but I cannot find how to accomplish the same thing in ConTeXt. I have seen the suggestions \setupheader[1][header=0mm] which is not what is intended, and also does not result in page numbers on pages 2, 3, ..., and \noheaderandfooterlines which is also not successful, and doesn't seem like it should be, and \definelayout[1][header=0mm] \definelayout[2][reset] which doesn't work either. I'd like to 1. Have the header appear on each page and 2. Have no page number on the first page and 3, Have page numbers beginning on the second page which seems like it should have a simple solution, but after a couple of days of searching here and in the manuals I haven't been able to find it. A solution that puts a \page in somewhere fails, since I don't know when the second page will begin. Thanks much in advance, -Richard

Defining and using font weights
by Andreas Schneider 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hello, I'm not able to figure out how I can make use of a font with "custom" font weights. I have a font that comes with "regular", "bold", "half-bold" and "ultra bold". I currently define the font like this: \definefontfamily[myfont][rm][myfont][sc=file:MyFontRegular,bf=file:MyFontBold] Which at least makes it possible to use the default font and \bf ... But simply adding something like hb=... or ult=... doesn't seem to cut it. So how would I define this font to be able to also use the half-bold and ultra weights? (preferably with a switch like \bf, \it, etc.) Best regards, Andreas

setupinmargin, setupmargindata ; page numbers ; fonts
by Richard Sherman 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hi all, I am having trouble with the control of fonts in \inmargin{} and in page numbers. I'm also having trouble with the alignment in \inmargin{}, and with font sizes generally. I've used what I know about \setupmargindata and \setupinmargin(and \setuppagenumbering). Below is an example that (almost) does what I want. The two or three problems I've tried and failed to solve are 1. control over the font size of the marginal note (rather than just \small; I want to choose a point-size) 2. control over the font and size of the page number. At first I used \setuppagenumbering[location={header, right, inmargin}] (yes, one of 'right' and 'inmargin' seems to be redundant). Getting a sans-serif page number, I assumed that \setupmargindata was controlling that, so I just switched to 'right', but my page number is still sans-serif. I've tried such things as [location={header, right}, style={normal, small}], as well as variants {\small}, {normal}, {\normal}, serif, \serif, etc. with not luck 3. in \setupmargindata and \setupinmargin, none of the 'align=' options seems to have any effect. More generally, I have trouble understanding how to specify font sizes in ConTeXt, how to set up the font and font-size of page elements, how to include comma-separated lists following 'style=', where even within braces all but the first option seems to be ignored (at least in my margin setup commands). I also can't figure out why, though the default (location) for \setuppagenumbering is {header, center} (and (font style) normal?), my page numbers default to sans, and when 'location=right' is specified without 'header', the page number is on the right in the ... footer (?!)
