Publications output broken in latest beta

PDF Forms - expanding multi-line text fields
by Michael Guravage 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

I am composing a document that contains pdf forms. Example code in "Widgets Uncovered," shows how to specify the height and width of a multi-line text field. Here is a small example: \usemodule[fields] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupfield [TextSetup] [width=\textwidth,height=5em,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.97,frame=off] \definefield [Block] [text] [TextSetup] \starttext \field [Block] \stoptext In this example the height is 5em. The field will scroll lines up when the height of the lines typed exceeds the height of the field. Click outside the field and the field displays the first n-lines that fit within its height. My question is, is it possible to tell the field to expand beyond its initial field height to display all its lines? A second less pressing question is, is it possible to tell lines to wrap when they exceed the field width? -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

bugs in page breaks with items
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Dear Hans, sorry for bothering you with this, but today I found an ugly pagebreak such as the following in a book I’m writting: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{10}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{5}{This is an item. } \item \dorecurse{15}{This is an item. } \item \dorecurse{5}{This is an item. } \stopitemize \stoptext The second item from the list has the page break in the sample above. But if you comment the last item from the list, first two items fit in the first page. For some strange reason, ConTeXt is not able to leave the third item in that list alone in the second page. I have the strong impression that items themselves (not the paragraphs they contain) are handled by ConTeXt with rules for widow and orphan lines. The example above shows this. If you change recursion in the second item from 15 to 10 (so that the item has three lines), the whole list is moved to the second page. I think that the first item should remain on the first page. Another sample that shows the same behavior: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{10}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \dorecurse{4}{\item This is an item.\par} \stopitemize \stoptext If there are four items, all text fits in one page. If there are five items, three items remain in the first page and two items move to the second page (not only the last one, as it should). But if there are six items in the list, the first four ones remain in the first page and the other two move to the second page. Could you fix these page breaks? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

hyperlinks within a PDF
by Robert Zydenbos 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Forgive me for what must seem a beginners’ question, but I really could not find the solution in the documentation or the Wiki: How do I create hyperlinks within a PDF to another spot in the text of that same PDF? I had expected I could do something like: Here is a \goto{link}[label:1]. … \label[label:1]{This is what the link points to.} -- but I cannot find anything that resembles this in the documentation.

options for \setuppapersize

Dear list, I’m trying to explain the options of \setuppapersize in a book, but I’m not sure they work. With latest beta from 2014.06.15 15:54, this is the results I get with a minimal document such as: \setuppapersize[A5] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext I cannot make the options mirrored, rotated, 90, 180, 270 and negative work. Do they work as expected or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

understanding elements and \blank
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Dear list, if I’m not wrong, elements are defined and configured in ConTeXt with \defineelement and \setupelement in the preamble of the document. Then they can be invoked using the identifier as a command. \definemargindata[MyMarginData][location=outer] \starttext \MyMarginData{Zapf}\input zapf \stoptext My question is; why are blank elements different? \defineblank[MyBlank][10*big] \starttext \input zapf \blank[MyBlank] \input zapf \stoptext Sorry for the basic question, but I’m trying to understand the reason why to explain it to others. Are there other elements that cannot be invoked with \identifier? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Greetings all, it’s been quite a while since I tried to use lilypond snippets in a context file. Looks like we’re now using the filter module… can someone post a small working example file to get me started? —there are a number of different & some incomplete approaches to be found, none of which work :) Kind regards, David

bug with \setuplist?

Dear list, sorry for posting this issue twice, but I wonder whether it went unnoticed because I added it in an answer to an already replied message.

distinguishing index entries according to function by using \setupregister
by Sanjoy Mahajan 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

In MkII, one could configure the index to have different types of page entries, e.g. roman and italic, by using \setupregister, as in the example at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupregister>. That doesn't work with a fairly recent MkIV (2014.05.17 beta). I see that it's a long-standing feature request: <http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg67495.html> So, it is probably not on the short-term feature list. But, if it is on the list, please let me know, as I'll keep using it for my textbook! Otherwise, I'll just make all the page entries the same style. The perfect is the enemy of the good, especially after 19 years... (Right now with 2014.05.17 beta, using the feature, say as \index[definition::]{commutativity}commutativity, gives an entry alphabetized according to the "definition::" key.) Regards, -Sanjoy

Samples updates and bibtex entries
by Rik Kabel 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

Hans, The file samples.tex requests updated bibliography data for some of the samples. Since the file is a few years old, it is not clear if this information has already been provided. If it is still needed, here are entries for three of the sources and a note on the source of another, along with corrections for a few typos. The first bibtex entry was lifted from Google Boooks, the other two from the ACM Digital Library. @book{dawkins2000unweaving, title={Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder}, author={Dawkins, R.}, isbn={9780547347356}, url={http://books.google.com/books?id=ZudTchiioUoC}, year={2000}, publisher={Houghton Mifflin Harcourt} } @book{Hofstadter:1985:MTQ:537101, author = {Hofstadter, Douglas R.}, title = {Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern}, year = {1985}, isbn = {0465045405}, publisher = {Basic Books, Inc.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, } @book{Tufte:1990:EI:78223, author = {Tufte, Edward}, title = {Envisioning Information}, year = {1990}, isbn = {0-9613921-1-8}, publisher = {Graphics Press}, address = {Cheshire, CT, USA}, } reich.tex is a list of the voice samples from Steve Reich's 1995 composition /City Life/. Corrections for dawkins.tex, douglas.tex, and knuth.tex: In each set, the first line is taken from the current sample file and the second is a correction. The dawkins.tex and douglas.tex corrections are based on scanned images on Google Books, the knuth.tex correction is based on my personal copy of the book (first edition second printing). dawkins.tex is from pages 145 and 146 of the book come down head. Everybody on the right had to will it to be come down heads. Everybody on the right had to will it to be to sit down. Then those who remained were divided into two, to sit down. Then those that remained were divided into two, I also note that all of the quotes in the Dawkins source are single-quotes, not double-quotes as in dawkins.tex, \quote{}, not \quotation{}. This is unusual for a book printed in the USA by an American publisher, so perhaps Dawkins wanted it that way. douglas.tex is from page 260 of the book of his forthcoming books, from the typesetting and layout of his forthcoming books|=|from the typesetting and layout not become as well known or available. not become as well known or as available.

\useMPlibrary[dum] in 2014-06-05 MKIV
by Rik 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

The following works fine in TL13, producing a PDF with the expected rectangle full of colored balls under the TL viewer, Sumatra PDF viewer, and Firefox, as it did under the prior MKIV beta (2014-06-01). Under the current MKIV, it produces a PDF that displays no image when viewed with Firefox or Sumatra PDF, but shows an irregular blob of colored balls (which might be cropped to the expected triangle) when viewed with the TL viewer or Chrome. \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \externalfigure[xxx] \stoptext So, I would suppose that something has changed in the way the image is put into the page. Can somebody suggest an option to reverse this behavior, either in ConTeXt or in the viewers? -- Rik Kabel

Keyword order problem
by Rik Kabel 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Keyword order appears to matter for the \blank command. The following example shows all orderings for the set {dimension, nowhite, samepage}, some of which work and some of which do not. It also shows two orderings of {dimension, nowhite, samepage, disable}; one works and the other does not. This happens with TL13 as well as the 2014-06-01 beta. I can find no discussion of keyword ordering in the wiki, on the mailing list, or in the manuals. Is this intentional, and if so, with what other commands are keywords similarly constrained? Whether or not this is intentional, can a developer please provide a suggested ordering to use until this is better documented or corrected? The order that keywords are presented in the wiki and in the reference manual are among those that fail. \starttext \subject{Without disable} 12pt,samepage,nowhite\blank[12pt,samepage,nowhite] works 12pt,nowhite,samepage\blank[12pt,nowhite,samepage] fails samepage,12pt,nowhite\blank[samepage,12pt,nowhite] fails samepage,nowhite,12pt\blank[samepage,nowhite,12pt] works nowhite,12pt,samepage\blank[nowhite,12pt,samepage] works nowhite,samepage,12pt\blank[nowhite,samepage,12pt] works \subject{With disable} 12pt,samepage,nowhite,disable\blank[12pt,samepage,nowhite,disable] works samepage,12pt,nowhite,disable\blank[samepage,12pt,nowhite,disable] fails \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

internal mptopdf converter skips some glyphs in labels
