Wrong page break in sequence of headings
by Jean-Philippe Rey 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Dear all, I have a problem with page breaking in a sequence of titles (for example chapter, section, subsection) : a page break can occur between titles. I tested this with the last beta version ConTeXt ver: 2014.09.06 20:59 MKIV beta with the following example % ------------- Start of example ----------------------------- \setuphead[chapter][page=no] \starttext \chapter{Chap 1} \section{Bryson} \input bryson \section{Davis} \input davis \section{filler 1} Ipsam vero urbem Byzantiorum fuisse refertissimam atque ornatissimam signis quis ignorat? Quae illi, exhausti sumptibus bellisque maximis, cum omnis Mithridaticos impetus totumque Pontum armatum affervescentem in Asiam atque erumpentem, ore repulsum et cervicibus interclusum suis sustinerent, tum, inquam, Byzantii et postea signa illa et reliqua urbis ornanemta sanctissime custodita tenuerunt. Equitis Romani autem esse filium criminis loco poni ab accusatoribus neque his iudicantibus oportuit neque defendentibus nobis. Nam quod de pietate dixistis, est quidem ista nostra existimatio, sed iudicium certe parentis; quid nos opinemur, audietis ex iuratis; quid parentes sentiant, lacrimae matris incredibilisque maeror, squalor patris %et haec praesens maestitia, quam cernitis, luctusque declarat. Vita est illis semper %in fuga uxoresque mercenariae conductae ad tempus ex pacto atque, ut sit species %matrimonii, dotis nomine futura coniunx hastam et tabernaculum offert marito, %post statum diem si id elegerit discessura, et incredibile est quo ardore apud eos in %venerem uterque solvitur sexus. \chapter{Chap 2} \section{Dawkins} \input dawkins \section{Douglas} \input douglas \section{filler 2} Soleo saepe ante oculos ponere, idque libenter crebris usurpare sermonibus, omnis %nostrorum imperatorum, omnis exterarum gentium potentissimorumque populorum, %omnis clarissimorum regum res gestas, cum tuis nec contentionum magnitudine %nec numero proeliorum nec varietate regionum nec celeritate conficiendi nec %dissimilitudine bellorum posse conferri; nec vero disiunctissimas terras citius passibus %cuiusquam potuisse peragrari, quam tuis non dicam cursibus, sed victoriis lustratae sunt. \section{Group 1} \subsection{Hawking} \input hawking \subsection{Knuth} \input knuth \section{Linden} \input linden \stoptext % ------------- End of example ----------------------------- I get the "Chap 2" title at the end of the first page, it should be on top of the second page. Similarly the "Group 1" title is located at the bottom of the second page. I tried to use \startsection ... \stopsection but got the same result. Is there a setup to get the page breaks right ? Or is this a bug ?

Weird error
by Aditya Mahajan 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi, There was a question on TeX.SX about an error message http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/200474/setuppagenumberinglocation-ca… The following MWE shows the same error \setupfootertexts[\namedheadnumber{chapter}] \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Creating device driver} \section{How to create the} Chapter text \stoptext which gives lua error > error on line 8 in file /tmp/test.tex: ...uild/src/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-doc.lua:904: attempt to index field 'numbers' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...uild/src/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-doc.lua:904: in function 'getsectionnumber' [\directlua]:1: in main chunk The error is weird because it only appears when all parts of the minimal example are present. If I comment either or `location=,` or `alternative=doublesided` or `\completecontent` or `\section{...}`, the error goes away! Any thoughts? Aditya

Two errors in test file.
by john Culleton 09 Sep '14

Here is the test file: -------------------------------------- \definefontfamily [myfamily][serif][MinionPro Serif] \definefontfamily [myfamily][sans][MyriadPro Sans] \definefontfamily [myfamily][italic][MinionPro Italic] \setupbodyfont[myfamily] \starttext \rm foo \startitemize[a] \item {\bf Inkscape} \item Scribus \item Gimp \stopitemize \stoptext --------------------------------------- First, nothing prints. Second, if I say \startitemize[1] I get an error on the first \item line. I suspect that the default font doesn't have the big dot character. The system variable OSFONTDIR points to /usr/share/fonts Obviously there is something that I am missing in the font definitions. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

line numbering prevents some hyphenations

Bussproofs or derivation trees
by Trond Thorbjørnsen 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hello, I have searched for a solution for making proof trees, but I have failed to find a working setup. Does anyone know of a solution? I have used bussproofs.sty with LaTeX, and have seen that discussed on this list some years ago: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/051489.html (How) can I use this package in ConTeXt? I have also looked at this metapost package, but it seems this package relies deeper on LaTeX: http://tug.ctan.org/graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/drv/drv.mp Have anyone other suggestions? -- Trond Thorbjørnsen

the new simplefonts stuff
by Sandra Snan 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

This is probably a pretty basic question, but how do I find out the name of the font that \definefontfamily expects in the third argument? For example, \definefontfamily [dejavu] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] works fine and sets the text in DejaVu Serif, but that’s not a name I can find with mtxrun –scripts font: ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='*DejaVu*'|wc -l 28 ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --info --list --all --pattern='*DejaVu*'|grep -i "DejaVu Serif"|wc -l 0 mtxrun --script fonts --info for Deja Vu doesn't show that identifier anywhere. I want to find out what, for example, Bookman is called. \definetypeface [five] [rm] [serif] [bookman] works fine and sets the text in some font that sure looks a lot like Bookman to my eyes, but \definefontfamily [five] [serif] [bookman] doesn’t work at all and the text doesn’t show up. ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='*bookman*'|wc -l 5 I’ve looked all over for this... even tried understanding font-sel.mkvii (with mediocre success). Sandra PS Extra thanks if there’s a way to get ligatures and protrusion to work for it.

multi-colunm table issue
by Thomas De Maet 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hello ! I'm interested for some time (say 2-3 years) in the resolution of a specific bug, described in the documentation here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE#Multipage_TABLEs as *Beware:*Split tables often begin not on the page (or in the column, if you use them) where they/could/start, but on/in the next one. This is a known limitation due to the complicated calculation of remaining space on the page. That won't become better before this calculations are newly written in Lua. (Said Hans on 2010-09-24.) Simply, do you have any shedule for this issue to be solved ? Many thanks in advance, Thomas

I.e., Title+Copyright+TOC with no page breaks What we get: copyright page (right sided) two pages after title page (right sided), followed by a blank page, followed by TOC (right sided). See attached pdf. How do I suppress the spurious pages (2+1)? I need to keep doublesided for obvious reasons... I could force this without makeups but would like to take advantage of makeups if I can. Thanks in advance!

Internal clickable links
by Keith McKay 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Colleagues I'm setting up a document which at the end of each chapter will have a Glossary of word definitions. To get to these definitions one would click on the word in the chapter which would take them to the page where the definition of the word is in the Glossary. Once the user has done this, they could then click on the definition to go back to the original word in the chapter. \footnote works after a fashion, however I would like the word to be clickable and the definition not to appear at the bottom of the page. It's not really what I want. Is there another way to get the functionality I'm looking for? Thanks Best Wishes Keith McKay

Framed text and page breaks
by Keith McKay 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Colleagues I've been struggling today with trying to change paragraph width of selected paragraphs within the body text of a novel I'm typesetting. I thought that the way to do this would be by framing the text that I would like to reduce the paragraph width off. However the framed text doesn't seem to honour page breaks and just seems to disappear off the page bottom. Also the framed text starts on a new page which I do not want to happen. Any suggestions on how I may go about solving this problem? Best Wishes Keith McKay Here is an example tex file which shows these effects: \definepapersize[book][width=5.06in,height=7.81in] \setuppapersize [book][] \setuplayout [width=middle,backspace=12.5mm,cutspace=12.5mm,height=middle,topspace=12.7mm,bottomspace=12.7mm] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank} \midaligned \framed[frame=off,width=5cm,align={width,nothyphenated,verytolerant,stretch},before=\blank]{\dorecurse{4}{\input ward \blank}} \dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank} \stoptext

E-books and XML.
by john Culleton 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

Context is moving toward accepting XML input, although the filtering process is necessarily complex. But what is also needed is a version of Context that produces well formed XML as an output. That would be a step toward producing a dual purpose document with Context, for print and for e-book use. Context users have invested time, often years, in learning how to write Context code. Writing XML is a whole other skillset, comparable to writing xhtml. So is writing a Context to XML converter a possibility? A probability? The commercial program InDesign already has such a capability. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
