Whitespace within framedtexts
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Dear gang, How do we activate/control whitespace (and indenting) within framed texts? The following seems to fail: ============== \setupframedtexts [frame=off, location=middle, before={\blank[medium]\setupwhitespace[medium]}, after={\blank[medium]}] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[yes,medium,first] \starttext \input knuth \startframedtext \input knuth \stopframedtext \input knuth \stoptext ============== See attached. Thanks in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

\head: broken?
by Rob Heusdens 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

Hello to all, I don't know if it is due to -the weather- or -the Worldchampionships- or other but in my Context release [ConTeXt ver: 2014.07.11 12:20 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.7.12 int: english/english] \head is broken. Is that a feature or a bug? greetings, Rob ------- \head: broken? When the \head command is used without a following line of normal text, it will result in a context-error. MNWE: \startitemize[n] \head x \stopitemize MWE: \startitemize[n] \head x anything \stopitemize

example of better linebreak with 2014.05.17 compared to 2014.07.07
by Sanjoy Mahajan 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Out of curiosity and as a ConTeXt stress test, I installed 2014.07.07 MkIV and recompiled my book with it, and looked at the pixel-by-pixel comparison between it and the version compiled with 2014.05.17. There were many changes. I am going through them one at a time in case any could be bugs in luatex or context. (I noticed several good changes where pages fit more precisely into their height.) Here is a change that might be a bug. It uses the following minimal example: \setupbodyfont[palatino] \showframe \setuplayout[width=5.4286in] \starttext Let's see whether this estimate is reasonable. According to the plane's technical documentation, the 747-400's four engines together can provide roughly 1~meganewton of thrust. \stoptext With 2014.05.17, the linebreaks are as follows, with no overfull boxes: Let's see whether this estimate is reasonable. According to the plane's technical documentation, the 747-400's four engines together can provide roughly 1 meganewton of thrust. With 2014.07.07, the linebreaks are as follows, but with an overfull box: Let's see whether this estimate is reasonable. According to the plane's tech- nical documentation, the 747-400's four engines together can provide roughly 1 meganewton of thrust. The "roughly" on the second line protrudes a good way into the margin. >From the log file: Overfull \hbox (8.80678pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 7--10 \3>palatino-12pt-rm-tf-0--0 ni-cal doc-u-men-ta-tion, the 747-400’s four en-gines to-gether can pro-vide roughly Both runs use luatex 0.79.1 (svn rev 5033), which I compiled by hand and then did 'context --make' to regenerate the formats. Is this change in linebreaking intended, or could it be an unintended consequence of another change (and therefore maybe problematic)? Perhaps related, the PDF files behave differently with copying and pasting. Copying the paragraph from the 2014.05.17 file, I get spaces between the words. Copying from the 2014.07.07 file, I get no spaces between the words (using mupdf). (The difference may be due to the smaller interword spaces, whose size may have fallen below a threshold that mupdf uses.) I've attached the uncompressed PDFs (each about 14K). -Sanjoy

bibliography and etaltext

Hi, I would like the bibliography to rendered with only the first author and then et al, so I tried \definebtxrendering[example][dataset=example,method=local,alternative=apa] \setupbtxlistvariant[etallimit=2,etaldisplay=2,etaltext={\it et al}] but without success.

Dear Flavien, This version works — note “dataset=document” and the “document::” in the citation. The clue is in the log: publications > cite > non-existent entry 'batty' in '' publications > no field 'num' for tag 'batty' in dataset ‘' The second big “1” is because \completebtxrendering has an implicit \chapter, but seemingly no default title.

Stop Hyphenating Across Columns and Page Breaks

Hello, this is still open, maybe its not clear, what the problem ist. I'll try again, my not realistic minexample is this one: \starttext \dorecurse{200}{Aprikosengeschmacksrichtung } \stoptext But what I mean is a feature, which many other typographic programms have, e.g. Adobe Indesign, see here: http://indesignsecrets.com/stop-hyphenating-across-columns-and-page-breaks.… Hyphenation across pages is really ugly and uncomfortable to read, how would you prevent them? Thanks! Huseyin

documentation
by Yuri Teixeira 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hello, I'm sorry this probably is a dumb question but I'm really lost in my searches. I'm new to context/tex and have been learning/finding information in the wiki at the contextgarden.net for the past couple of weeks. Some of information there don't seem up to date but nothing unusual in an unofficial wiki. For some reason (isp/dns/something) the contextgarden.net has been unavailiable to me since yesterday even though some verification sites show it up and some show it down (http://www.isitdownrightnow.com been one of the later). That got me wondering if there are easy official docs. I've seen the pdfs at pragma-ade.com but the most general ones I tried are from 1999 (ms-cb-en.pdf) and 2001 (cont-eni.pdf). Are these up to date with the current developments? I belive they are compatible but having seen examples of changes in the wiki I a little unsure. Furthermore, the parameter behavior description in the command reference seem a bit... dry. So here's my plea for a little bit more love for the documentation. In any way, thank you very much for an awesome language, I'm glad I researched thoroughly before jumping into latex. YT

Bug in \setupinterlinespace ?

Does anybody know how to change the interline space in a part of a document? I send again the message below: Hi all, I don’t know how to change the interline space in a chapter.

underbraces get progressively more misaligned (w/ minimal example)
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Dear list, As I copyedited my book, I noticed examples where the underbraces in math formulas were not aligned vertically, especially toward the end of the book. Eventually I realized it was not due to my growing copyediting skill, and I have made the following minimal example showing the problem (I am using 2014.05.17 MkIV): \setupformulas[indentnext=auto, spacebefore=none, spaceafter=none] \starttext \dorecurse{3000}{ \placeformula\startformula \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy}}_{\rho} = \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy yyyy yyyy}}_{\rho} \stopformula } \stoptext It'll produce a 162-page file. On the formulas on page 1, the two underbraces in each equation are aligned. But there seems to be some kind of slow leak, because the underbraces become ever more misaligned. By page 162, they are visibly misaligned by maybe 3pt. If I increase the recursion count to 30000, on page 2129 the misalignment is about 30pt. Taking out the \placeformula makes the misalignment go away. I tried to reproduce the problem with plain LuaTeX, using the tex file below, but the underbraces came out aligned. \newcount\foo \foo=3000 \loop $$ \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy}}_{\rho} = \underbrace{\hbox{yyyy yyyy yyyy}}_{\rho} $$ \advance \foo -1 \ifnum \foo>0 \repeat \end Any thoughts on this very strange issue? -Sanjoy

[garden] luatex git mirror out of sync
by Philipp Gesang 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hi all, there’s been a lot of changes lately to the Luatex SVN but the mirror on the Garden doesn’t appear to match pace. Here’s the experimental branch on the Garden and on supelec: http://git.contextgarden.net/context/luatex/commits/origin/experimental https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/viewvc.php/branches/experimental/?root=luate… Commits after 25 Apr are missing on the former. For example, the git svn clone on my machine has much more recent commits: * 6a9a4d7 - (HEAD, experimental, experimental) fixed a bug with braces (12 hours ago) <luigi> * a0780a1 - fixed wrong procedure keyword (29 hours ago) <luigi> * 0e4f41f - fixed the Lua stack (4 days ago) <luigi> * 4f4cb51 - sync with metapost TL 2014 (8 days ago) <luigi> * c0033b5 - add pdf_stream_filter_callback to lcallbacklib.c (8 days ago) <luigi> * 958dc74 - sync with trunk (2 weeks ago) <luigi> ... Perhaps a cron job is broken somewhere? Also I noticed that if I click the “compare” button on this form: http://git.contextgarden.net/context/luatex/compare?from=master&to=experime… I get a 500 (“We’re sorry, …”). Can anybody reproduce this? Best regards, Philipp
