PDF document metadata: keyword and date
by Pablo Rodriguez 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start, author={I, Me}, keyword={interactive document, ConTeXt}, date=03-02-2004] \starttext Hi.\page Hi. \stoptext I have two questions: How can I avoid the removal of commas in the keyword option? How should I specify the date option? (Even with the format D:199812231952-08'00, I don’t get it working.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Defining commands in \start ... \stop
by Xan 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi, Concerned with the answers to the [that topic](http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077099.html), I was thinking if I could define a command "Exercise" with a optional argument (the "Answer"). \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \defineenumeration[question][text={Question}] \defineenumeration[answer] [text={Answer}] \keepblocks[question] \hideblocks[answer] Something like \startexercise My execise ... \stopexercise If no more is provide, at the question does \incrementcounter[answer] If \startexercise{\startsolution The solution is \stopsolution} My exercise \stopexercise then \beginanswer and \startanswer is called. Is it possible? I just want to know if it's better to have \startBla...\stopBla command or \Bla{} command type? In the case of the first, how do you define that? I did not find it here (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments) Thanks, Xan PS: Please CCme

PDF bookmarks issue with heads

wrong bookmark destinations in PDF files
by Pablo Rodriguez 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hans, I’m afraid that bookmark destinations are wrong in latest beta from 2014.03.25 16:58. Here you have the minimal sample (that I copied from source): \nopdfcompression \starttext \setupinteraction[state=start]\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter] \chapter{First} \bookmark{The First Indeed} \section{alpha} \bookmark[chapter]{The First Indeed Again} \section{beta} \chapter{Second} \bookmark{The Second Indeed} \section{gamma \tex{radiation}} \subsection{a} \subsection{b} \section{delta} \section{epsilon} \chapter{Third \relax} \chapter{我〈能吞下玻璃而不傷身〉體。}% whatever that means \chapter{Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد} \stoptext The output generated with beta from 2014.03.25 16:58 (http://www.ousia.tk/wrong-destination.pdf) contains bookmarks that don’t work either in okular or in SumatraPDF (I don’t have other viewers to check it). The output generated with beta from 2014.03.07 11:42 (http://www.ousia.tk/right-destination.pdf) works fine with these viewers. I’m afraid this might be a bug.

Linenumbering and bidi
by Rik Kabel 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I have requirements similar to those of Stéphane Goujet to reproduce the typography of earlier times, and I tried to adapt the code presented in his note earlier today titled “Quotation blocs with repetition symbol in the left column.” The result of this attempt is the discovery of two issues with linenumbering. I will present these in separate notes. This note involves an unfortunate interaction with bidi. The other problem involves startnarrower. Both issues occur with the current 20140328 beta. Adding the line \setupdirections[bidi=on,method=two] to Stéphane’s example results in the disappearance of the guillemots that would otherwise be placed as linenumbers. In my case, this bidi variant is needed to prevent misplaced references. The issue of misplaced references was discusssed in a recent thread by Pablo Rodriguez (Re: [NTG-context] (again) bug with bidi direction and \about references, begun on 3 March). The bidi issue does not occur with TL2013, although perhaps method=two is meaningless there. Other bidi options do not show this problem. -- Rik Kabel

Linenumbering and startnarrower
by Rik Kabel 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I have requirements similar to those of Stéphane Goujet to reproduce the typography of earlier times, and I tried to adapt the code presented in his note earlier today titled "Quotation blocs with repetition symbol in the left column." The result of this attempt is the discovery of two issues with linenumbering. I will present these in separate notes. This note involves an unfortunate interaction with startnarrower. The other problem involves bidi. Both issues occur with the current 20140328 beta. Placing one of the examples in Stéphane's message into a startnarrower environment results in a shift of the linenumbered section to the left margin. As an example, replace his final section with the following: \setupnarrower[left=2cm,right=2cm] \startnarrower[left,right] Now, a quote block starting just there, {\bf in the middle of a line} ({\bf space after colon is too big}):\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel . This a bit of text at the end of the quotation. It {\bf seems fine}. And let's call a {\bf footnote}\footnote{\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel}. Unfortunately {\bf no quote repetition symbol will appear in it}. \stopnarrower -- Rik Kabel -- Rik Kabel

Different size points in ellipsis
by Stéphane Goujet 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hello again, If you look at one of the images in my previous post (I attached it here again), you may notice the ellipsis (that has 5 periods instead of 3, but that is not my concern). Its last period is bigger, to indicate the fusion of the ellipsis and the sentence final period. It does not seem stupid to me, so, out of curiosity (I believe, in the end, I will stick to the modern typography, even if it is more confusing), could that be easily typeset with Context ? Either with a bigger final period, or with a normal size final period and other smaller ones. I guess the second way is better, for consistency with other periods in other sentences. So far, I have defined ellipsis (all periods having the same size) as: \unexpanded\def\ell{{\def\periodswidth{.4em}\periods[5]}} Regards, Stéphane.

lower superscripts in MkIV -- too low?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Dear math typesetting aficianados, In the following example, \starttext $x^3\ x\mathstrut^3$ \stoptext the superscript without the strut is about 2pt lower than with the strut, using MkIV. With MkII or plain TeX, they are the same height (at the higher position obtained by using the \mathstrut in MkIV). My eye tells me that the higher position looks more right. Do others agree? Or, if it's a matter of taste, is the difference configurable so that one can get the MkII behavior even without the \mathstrut? -- -Sanjoy

tweaking placefloat
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hi wizards, in a new book project I need to place some photos covering the upper or lower half of the page (bleeding, not within textarea) with a caption below resp. above the photo, within textwidth. Is it possible to tweak placefloat, so that I can use \placefloat[here,top/bottom]{Caption}{\externalfigure[something][width=\the\dimexpr\paperwidth+3mm\relax]} for this layout? Or is there a better solution? Should I use layers instead? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

quick and shallow question about layers
by Schmitz Thomas A. 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hi, this is pretty shallow, but maybe someone knows a way: for one of my presentation, every slide has a (different) picture as background. The title is typeset within a narrow colored frame which extends across the entire slide. Is there any way to make the background picture show through the letters of the title, i.e. make the letters transparent within the colored frame? I thought of metapost’s infill, but it appears that this only adds a background color, not real transparency. Hope the question is clear enough - just in case someone has a suggestion; my life doesn’t depend on it! Thanks and all best Thomas

Footnote maker in parentheses
by Stéphane Goujet 25 Mar '14

Hello, I would like that the footnote marker (both in the note call and the footnote text) appear in parentheses. I tried using : \setupnotation[footnote][titleleft={(},titleright={)}] because the names title* sounded close to what I was looking for, but it did not produce any change (neither in the call nor in the foonote itself). Are those the correct parameters to play with ? Do they need another parameter/option to be set in order to enable them ? Greetings, Stéphane.
