placeformula and startmathcases give no numbered formula
by Pol Stra 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

Hello, I know there is troubles with formula numbering (according to the wiki) but this one is not in the list: When I use smartmathcase in a placeformula context, the formula is not numbered and reference to the formula in the text doesn't work. Sample: \starttext This gives the numbered \in{formula}[myFormula]. \placeformula[myFormula]{ \startformula f(x) = a x + b \stopformula } … but this gives the unnumbered \in{formula}[myBraceFormula]. \placeformula[myBraceFormula]{ \startformula f(x) = \startmathcases \NC x, \NC if $0 \le x \le \frac12$ \NR \NC 1-x ,\NC if $\frac12 \le x \le 1$ \NR \stopmathcases \stopformula } \stoptext This is just for info, I changed my text so I don't need to refer to my formula. Best regards,

Three questions about descriptions
by Matthias Weber 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

Dear All, I’d like to use a mechanism that allows me to create an itemized list with my own labels like one can with descriptions: \definedescription[outline][ headstyle=bold,style=normal,alternative=hanging,margin=1cm,distance=-.8cm] \starttext \outline[Welcome] Tea \outline[Introduction] Tufte or Knuth? \outline[Snack] Chocolate Cake \outline[Discussion] Knuth or Tufte? \outline[Open End] Bear and wine \stoptext However, instead of the above I would like to — have the result “packed”, i.e. without lines between the descriptions — have a stopper (“:”) after the label — have the text of the description begin after the stopper and not at a fixed indentation (distance=…) How do I do that? Thanks, Matthias

This is what I did: 1. I went to http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/armel-linux/ I clicked on `context` and then on the first `download` on the page (behind Links to HEAD). That brought me to a page saying: `link ../../texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/context`. I don't know whether I took the correct steps and how to proceed. 2. I went to http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/armhf-linux/ and performed the same steps as under 1. with the same result. 3. I went to http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite-bin/tex/armel-linux/ and clicked on `luatex` and on the following page again on `luatex`. I saved the file `luatex` (7.6 MB) but I don't know what to do with this file. I changed the permission so that it can be executed. But execution gave the error message: `Failed to execute child process "/home/sytse/context/luatex" (No such file or directory)`. Sytse

system "Linux armv7l" is not supported yet
by Sytse Knypstra 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Dear list members, Recently I purchased a Minix NEO X7 mediaplayer on which I managed to install Ubuntu (or rather: Xubuntu) 14.04. When I then tried to install the ConTeXt Standalone suite I immediately received the message: > Error: your system "Linux armv7l" is not supported yet. > Please report to the ConTeXt mailing-list (ntg-context(a)ntg.nl) The latter is what I am doing now. I was however able to Install ConTeXt from the Ubuntu repositories without a any problem. FYI: the Minix NEO X7 is based on a Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with Quad-Core Mali-400 GPU. With kind regards, Sytse Knypstra

pagenumber suppression howto?
by Meer, H. van der 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

My goal is pages without header info at the top and text plus a pagenumber on the bottom. This can be accomplished by: \setupheader[state=stop] \setupfooter[text][before=\hairline,style=small,location=left,strut=yes] \setupfootertexts[some text][pagenumber] I want the first page without that footer, to be done with: \noheaderandfooterlines But then comes the problem, because afterwards the default takes over and on the subsequent pages the pagenumber starts to appear in the header (the default setting apparently). Thus the \noheaderandfooterlines annuls the \setupheader[state=stop] I did not find out how to get rid of the default pagenumber. \setuppagenumber[state=stop] kills all pagenumbering, the programmed one in the leftbottom corner too. \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] kills all pagenumbers, included the one I want to appear. \setuppagenumbering[location=none] merely puts the pagenumber in the middle of the footer, obviously location=none has no meaning in ConTeXt. So, I am at the end of the possibilities I can think of. How to? Hans van der Meer

running PlainTeX from beta
by Meer, H. van der 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

I have some plaintex code to run from the ConTeXt beta-distribution, because I didn't install the complete TeXp-distribution (and if possible prefer to keep it that way). I did not fare well with running "texexec --make plain" and "mtxrun --script plain myfile.tex" The first command does not give a sign of dumping the plain format somewhere, the second command complains "I can't find the format file luatex-plain.fmt" It looks if I am on the wrong track for using luatex with plain. Will someone please be so kind to turn me in the right direction? Hans van der Meer

State of documentation of ConTeXt?
by Gerben Wierda 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello guys, I am restarting a book project I started a several years back. At that time I set up a copy of another project I am working on in ConTeXt, so with the products/environment/chapters structure, added Mac fonts to my setup, using texexec for compilation. Now that I am restarting, I am returning to ConTeXt. The first thing I did was go to contextgarden and look for updated documentation. What I found was the over 10-year old documentation (contextref.pdf) with green boxes stating things like “TODO: Add some text about recent developments, especially the split between mkii and mkiv”. Is there up-to-date and reasonably complete ConTeXt documentation these days? G

Why is my output body text in 15pt?
by Gerben Wierda 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

I am typesetting a small pocketbook. I’m using mkii and the standard products/environment/chapters structure. I am trying to create a small paperbook size book with 11pt Optima font (using the converted font on my Mac). Everything works, except the body text is in 15pt in the PDF. Now, I did all this font setup stuff years and years ago (I think the whole GTAMacFonts doesn’t work/exist anymore, I just keep it running on my system) and of course I suspect something not quite right in that part, but when I completely leave out the Optima stuff, I get CMR in 15pt, so that is probably not it. When in CRM, I see log entries like [7.5] Overfull \hbox (4.50882pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 36--46 \*12ptrmtfrm*: rat-ings in-sti-tute are ca-pa-ble of han-dling this amount \hbox(8.26648+2.33331)x258.10477, glue set - 1.0 .\*12ptrmtfrm*: r .\*12ptrmtfrm*: a .\*12ptrmtfrm*: t .\discretionary ..\*12ptrmtfrm*: - .\*12ptrmtfrm*: i .etc. Which seems to indicate that the font is 12pt. But why is the document in 15pt text? My environment contains (amongst other things): \definepapersize[smallpaperback][width=5in,height=8in] \setuppapersize[smallpaperback][smallpaperback] \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=no] \setupsectionblock[backpart][page=no] % Every chapter body text starts with lettrine: \usemodule[lettrine] \setuplettrine[Lines=3, Hang=.5, Oversize=0, Raise=0, Findent=0pt, Nindent=0em, Slope=0em, Ante=, FontHook=, TextFont=\sc, Image=no] % Every chapter starts with a quote on the LHS page: \setuphead [chapter] [page=, before={\setups[chapter:before]}, after={\setups[chapter:after]}] \startsetups chapter:before \page[left] \noheaderandfooterlines \startalignment[left,nothyphenated] \startnarrower[4*left] \em \getbuffer[chapter:quote] \stopnarrower \stopalignment \resetsetups[quote:text] \page[right] \noheaderandfooterlines \blank[force,2*big] \stopsetups \startsetups chapter:after \blank[3*big] \stopsetups \setuptolerance[horizontal=strict] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[rgb] % \setupquote[style=small] \setupnarrower[left=1cm,right=0.5cm] % \usetypescript[serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal] % Bypassing type-gtamacfonts.tex \starttypescript [sans,serif] [optima] [texnansi,ec] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Regular] [\typescriptthree-OptimaRegular] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Italic] [\typescriptthree-OptimaItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Bold] [\typescriptthree-OptimaBold] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-BoldItalic] [\typescriptthree-OptimaBoldItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-ExtraBlack] [\typescriptthree-OptimaExtraBlack] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans,serif] [optima] [name] \setups [font:fallback:\typescriptone] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone] [Optima-Regular] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Italic] [Optima-Italic] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Bold] [Optima-Bold] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone BoldItalic] [Optima-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Black] [Optima-ExtraBlack] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[allsans][rm][serif][optima][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[allsans][ss][sans][optima][default][encoding=texnansi] \loadmapfile [gtamacfonts.map] \setupbodyfont[allsans,11pt]

framedtext and itemize
by Meer, H. van der 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

I have a question regarding the interplay between framedtext and itemize. Example \startitemize[n]\startitem \startframedtext[left][width=0.5\textwidth]\leavevmode some text \stopframedtext \stopitem\stopitemize The framedtext is put on the next line instead of on the first of the item. [cid:3B8394EB-ADB8-4DA9-9E09-6ACFB9389BB4] How do I get here the top frameline of the framedtext aligned with the 1. of the itemnumber? Playing with the location-parameter on the \startframedtext doesn't seem to make any difference. Especially I would like the baseline of the first line inside the framed text to be at the same level as the itemlabel. Hans van der Meer

aligning framedtexts inside framed
by Meer, H. van der 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

In search of a nice presentation of two passages of text I am trying to put two \framedtext's inside a \framed with their top at the same level. However, I have not been able to accomplish this. Instead they align their bottom. Example with its result: \framed[location=top]\bgroup \hsize=0.5\textwidth \startframedtext[left][width=0.5\textwidth,location=top]\leavevmode some text \stopframedtext \startframedtext[left][width=0.5\textwidth,location=top]\leavevmode some other text\crlf of more lines \stopframedtext \egroup [cid:B80CDDB1-1D08-4FEE-8B80-B1C0C11AC256] Changing the location parameter made no difference, introducing an align ruined the placement on the same line. How do I get the toplines of the inner frames at the same height? Hans van der Meer

Caption whitespace overflows page
by Rik Kabel 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

How can I get rid of the space at the top of the first line of text on page three in the following MWE. The \setupfloats[spaceafter=none] masks the problem rather than addresses the problem directly. Playing with the size of the figures (changing them to 3cm) shows that the caption text is not pushed to the second page, just some whitespace imputed to them. This happens with TL2013 and with the latest (20140325) standalone beta. I may be able to get away with the figure overflowing into the footnote space by avoiding footnotes, but the space on the next page is just ugly. \setuppapersize[A6] \setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}] \setupfloats[spaceafter=none] \starttext \input{knuth} \placefigure[left]{Caption} {\startcombination[1*3] {\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=2cm]}{cow} {\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=2cm]}{cow} {\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=2cm]}{cow} \stopcombination} \input{knuth} \input{knuth} \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

Fonthandling/protrusion question: handling of left margin
by Rob Heusdens 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Short question about the font feature protrusion. This handles certain characters that get shifted into the right margin to make a more visable straight right margin. But can this font feature also handle left margin? For example, sentences that start in the left margin and begin with a quotation, there you would want the same effect also in the left margin. I currently use \kern-1ex to achieve the same effect for a sentence that commences on the left margin and starts with a quotation. Greetings, Rob

question about unwanted locations of pagebreaks
by Rob Heusdens 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

The very last thing to do when finalizing a multi-page document is checking where the page breaks occur, and make corrections accordingly, if the pagebreak occurs at a location you do not want. Of course, you can take all kind of measures on before hand to avoid 'bad' places, like avoiding pagebreaks directly after a new section and before any of the body text, etc. But the degrees of freedom for context to handle this and to avoid (typographically) 'bad' pagebreak locations are I suppose limited. Is there a way (already implemented) in Context in which one can add some degrees of freedom to avoid bad pagebreak locations. For instance with elements that can vertically stretch (between some minimum and maximum value) and can be placed optionally (and which could for instance include a fancy decoration, like fancybreak module provides)? (I guess this is also the way in which typesetters in the past dealt with this problem). Greetings, Rob

Bug with complex contextual opentype feature
by Georg Duffner 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hello All, I’ve recently been experimenting with contextual features in EB Garamond and LuaTeX’s output is puzzling. As a showcase, I tried to implement the famous TeX logos with opentype. This is realized in a feature "xtex" with GSUB and GPOS lookup tables for substituting some glyphs and for positioning them horizontally and vertically: ##### OT feature code for TeX logos lookup xtex_sub1 { sub X e' T e X by e.xtex2; # e.xtex2 is a reversed copy of E sub X e' L a T e X by e.xtex2; sub L a' T e X by a.sc; sub T e' X by e.xtex1; # e.xtex1 is a copy of E sub L a.sc T e.xtex1 X [two two.lnum two.taboldstyle two.tablining] e' by e.xtex3; # e.xtex3 is a copy of epsilon } xtex_sub1; lookup xtex_pos1 { pos X e.xtex2' <-130 -180 -320 0> T; pos X e.xtex2' <-130 -180 -200 0> L; pos X [two two.lnum two.taboldstyle two.tablining] e.xtex3' <0 -180 0 0>; pos L a.sc' <-330 210 -490 0> T e.xtex1 X; pos T e.xtex1' <-180 -180 -280 0> X; }xtex_pos1; feature xtex { lookup xtex_sub1; lookup xtex_pos1; } xtex; ##### LuaTeX only processes the sequence "XeTeX" where it substitutes the first "e" by e.xtex1 instead of e.xtex2. Then it positions it with respect to "X" but not to "T". All the other parts of the lookups are ignored as well. The font file can be downloaded from http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/fonts/EBGaramond12-Regular.otf. The expected output can be seen at the bottom of this page: http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/design.html with Firefox and Chrome/Chromium and in the attached screenshot (from SortsmillEditor).

Which Image quality should I use ?
by Pol Stra 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hello everyone, this is a question a little out of topic, but I think there are here people used to this concerns who can give me an answer. I have several images I want to put in my document: $-> mediainfo "mypicture.png" General Complete name : mypicture.png Format : PNG Format/Info : Portable Network Graphic File size : 5.19 MiB Image Format : PNG Format/Info : Portable Network Graphic Width : 1 600 pixels Height : 1 600 pixels Bit depth : 32 bits Compression mode : Lossless Stream size : 5.19 MiB (100%) Of course, this makes a huge pdf (I put the source in a zip file attached to the pdf so data are replicated). I wonder, what can I do to reduce the size of those files while keeping a printable quality document? I think I should do something like: `convert -density 300 input.png -resize AAAxBBB output.png` but I don't know if it’s the good way to do it or which resolution is appropriate. Best regards,
