[OT] Typographical quality of various engines
by Jan Tosovsky 14 May '14

14 May '14

Dear All, I've finished a rough comparision of various engines for their typographical quality: http://drifted.in/publishing/ >From my point of view the ConTeXt is the best offering in this field to date, so congratulation! If you find something inappropriate or misleading in my text, please comment or let me know. If my ConTeXt examples could be written more efficiently, I am open to fix it. Thanks, Jan

arch linux and ConTeXt
by Rudolf Bahr 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi Aditya, recently I changed my linux distribution to arch and so I used your arch suggestion to install ConTeXt. Instead of "reporting any bugs at the ConTeXt mailing list" according to the last sentence it's in my own interest to thank you for your work there! All went well, though one little rather unimportant thing irritated me initially: "makepkg" which should generate "context-minimals-<date>.pkg.tar.gz" with the date of today, as I assume, generated "context-minimals-git-20130615-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz" instead, with a one year old date. But the eventually generated ConTeXt is totally new: ConTeXt ver: 2014.05.13 00:04 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.5.13 So, it's not a real bug, only irritating a little bit. I thank you again! Rudolf

smcp+tlig broken for -- only? -- Libertine
by Philipp Gesang 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi Hans, the fontloader appears to have trouble applying fake ligatures (“--” -> “\endash” and the likes) in conjunction with small capitals. Both features work well in isolation. The behavior is limited to Libertine (I tested all versions back to 5.0.0). Here’s the file I’ve been testing with: https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/c2e518e9459ab343fee3d0647c74… Best, Philipp

external figure not functioning propertly for jpg
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 12 May '14

12 May '14

externalfigure only works properly with pdf files (I tried with .gif and .jpg files). The jpg file with the frame=on showed a one page blank huge frame and no image. Used: the MKIV engine / ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 I should think that "external figure should work with jpg for sure. Minimal example using a jpeg file having a 65 x 72 pixels image -------------------------------- \starttext \externalfigure[dainienzan-logo.pdf] % This works no problem \externalfigure[dainienzan-logo.jpg][frame=on] % Big empty frame and no image \externalfigure[dainienzan-logo.jpg][width=2cm] % Specifhing a width makes it work \stoptext % but it should work without width=x -------------------------------- Note: this works as is with a pdf image. Why doesn't it for a jpg file?

Two coexisting number conversions (in headers and in texts)
by Maggyero 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hello, How can I achieve this chapter numbering? — page 1: I My chapter (header) ----------------- First My chapter (text) — page 2: II My chapter (header) ------------------ II My chapter (text) That is to say having every chapter number in roman numeral except the first one but only in the text (not in the header). For the moment I can achieve only the chapter numbering for the text but not for the header: \define[1]{\myconversion}{\ifcase #1\relax \or First\else \convertnumber{Romannumerals}{#1}\fi} \defineconversion[myconversion][\myconversion] \setuphead[chapter][conversion=myconversion] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]\quad\getmarking[chapter]}] \starttext \startchapter[title=My chapter] \stopchapter \startchapter[title=My chapter] \stopchapter \stoptext Best regards.

workaround for another too-low symbol in Pagella?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 10 May '14

10 May '14

Here's another math symbol that I think is too low: the vertical bar in Palatino/Pagella. Here's an almost-minimal example. I've left in the surrounding text, to show how it's used (in probability, as P(H|E)). I think the bottom of the bar is correct, but the tip of the bar doesn't reach to the top of the H or E. \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \placeformula\startformula \text{P}( H\,|\, E ) \stopformula \stoptext Again, I don't think it's a ConTeXt problem, but rather a Pagella problem. But is there a recommended ConTeXt workaround? Maybe a metafun symbol? -Sanjoy

8th ConTeXt Meeting, Bassenge-Boirs, Belgium
by Taco Hoekwater 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hello to everybody! We are glad to announce the registration for the 8th International Context Meeting is now open. http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014 Early-bird registration is available until June 30, 2014, and this year for the first time, we also have a special discount for first-time attendees. We are making a return visit to Jan @ 't Sjetootje, the same place where we had our fifth meeting in 2011. Those of you that were present will remember that our host Jan was constantly busy cooking wonderful food for us. To celebrate our return visit, the theme for this year's meeting is: ConTeXt Cookery which means that we are planning for talks and tutorials on both culinary and programming recipes and / or cookbooks. Jan has already promised to take care of a hands-on culinary workshop :) Further, we can promise a working internet connection, and also that there will not be any completely underground full day excursions. As it happens, Bassenge-Boirs is also the birth place of the official ConTeXt Group, so in a way we are going back to our "roots". Even if you cannot join us for the meeting, please consider becoming a member (if you are not already). The meeting proceedings are going to be published as the next issue of the Context Group journal, but there are more advantages to membership. See http://group.contextgarden.net/ for more information about the ConTeXt Group. We are looking forward to meeting you in Bassenge, Best regards, Taco Hoekwater on behalf of the organizing committee http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014

Hi all, I have a rather long document listing a number of items, which I need to be numbered continuously throughout the entire document. The following approach appears to work well, except that the numbering restarts at the beginning of every chapter.

Text background that spans the width of the page
by Darksair 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi all, I would like to have a colored horizontal stripe as background for one line of text. Sort of like what textbackground does, but I want it to span the whole \paperwidth, instead of just \textwidth. At the end of the day, I would use it to style for example my section heads, or to highlight one specific \item. What’s the best way to do it? -- Fear is the path to the dark side.

Vertical alignment of \placefigure[right]

Hi, I would like to vertically shift the placement of figures (\placefigure[right]...), so that the upper side of the figure would be aligned with the top of the first line in a paragraph as opposed to the bottom of the first paragraph. Here's a minimal example. The second "ugly workaround" shows what I'm trying to achieve, but ideally using a cleaner approach. Does there exist a magic keyword for that? \starttext \hrule \placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}} \input knuth % ugly workaround \hrule \vskip-11pt \placefigure[right]{Caption}{\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm]{}} \vskip11pt \input knuth \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

How to place a verbatim environment in the text such that the following paragraph is not indented?
by Thomas Möbius 07 May '14

Dear list, how do I place a verbatim environment in the text such that the following paragraph is not indented? I expect the environment to behave the same as the formula-environment.

(Begging of line should not be indented.) \input ward Have a look at \startformula f(x) = x^2 \stopformula where $f$ is a function. (No indent as expected.) \input ward \stoptext

\pm set too low in MkIV?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 May '14

07 May '14

Continuing my recent theme of finding glyphs too low or too high: The \pm symbol looks like it is set too low, in MkIV. \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext $\pm2$ \stoptext The minus part of the sign lies below the baseline, which looks odd relative to the horizontal stroke of the "2." In MkII it is fine, as is the equivalent latex or plain tex (using LatinModern). I don't know whether the problem lis in the font metrics or in the positioning by MkIV, because I haven't yet been able to convince tex, latex, lualatex, or luatex to use the same font (LM math). In MkIV, the font is (from pdffonts): NSOXNN+LatinModernMath-Regular CID Type 0C Identity-H Can anyone confirm the problem? -Sanjoy
