Different behaviours between header and footer
by Flavien Lambert 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Dear all, in the following example, header and footer behave differently, the frame at the bottom being out of the footer space. Could you tell me how to obtain a frame inside the footer like the header one? Thanks a lot, Flavien. \setupheadertexts[{\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\headerheight]{not offset}}][] \setupfootertexts[{\framed[frame=on,height=\footerheight]{offset}}][] \showframe \starttext \input knuth \stoptext

hyperlinks in latest beta?
by Alan Bowen 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

The following code produces the right cross-references but dead links, at least at my end. \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext Text A\reference[A]{}% Text B\footnote[B]{Text C.} \page once more \goto{Text A}[A] page \at[A] for Text A. Text C is on page \at[B] in note \in[B] \stoptext Is this a problem with the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2014.03.16 19:58 MKIV beta)? Alan

proposal about link borders
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

Hi Hans, many thanks for fixing the issue with links (and other two issues about PDF information). I have two proposals about hyperlinks, after having looked at an uncompressed file with hyperlinks. AFAIK, they haven’t been implemented (I have checked the wiki, the “ConTeXt Commands” documents, the reference manual, and the source [I apologize, if I have overlooked something]). My first proposal would be an option to have link borders enabled. I guess that something like \setupinteraction[linkborders=on] would be a good choice. With this option, one can have an interactive version and a printable version of a document in the same file. This is extremely useful in many scenarios. My second proposal would be an option to have colored link borders. \setupinteraction[linkbordercorlor=on] could be the option to enable color in link borders. I think both proposals could be useful for (at least for some) interactive documents. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Placing arbitrary pdf bookmarks
by Jean-Philippe Rey 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hello all, I am willing to use ConTeXt to produce a bunch of stickers. My stickers are grouped into categories but I don't want any headers or titles to interfere with the layout of the stickers, so I didn't use \startchapter and the likes. However, I would like to add pdf bookmarks in order to quickly jump to the start of a category. After taking a look at strc-bkm.mkiv, I tried the following \setupinteraction[state=start] \definelist[building] \definelist[aisle] \placebookmarks[building,aisle] \starttext \bookmark[building]{B1} \bookmark[aisle]{A1} Sticker 1 Sticker 2 \page \bookmark[aisle]{A2} Sticker 3 Sticker 4 \page \bookmark[building]{B2} \bookmark[aisle]{A3} Sticker 5 Sticker 6 \stoptext But it didn't worked. I didn't get any error message but no bookmark either. How can I directly add a bookmark to the pdf table of contents ? Previously I was using the ReportLab toolkit which provided for this purpose the bookmarkPage and addOutlineEntry functions. Is there a similar solution with ConTeXt ?

font bug in latest beta?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Mar '14

Hans, is it possible that the latest beta has a bug in font handling? As far as I can see, all the usual TeX ligatures etc. do not work: \setupbodyfont[times] \starttext 1--2 o'clock \stoptext would be a minimal example. All best Thomas

suppressing console output
by Lars Huttar 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello, I'm running context mkiv, version: 2013.05.28 00:36 (from the 2013 TeX Live CD). We're getting floods of output from context, including lots of Underfull hboxes, and the names of .tex files that are being opened and closed. This is all within a build script that does several other things besides running context. I'd like to suppress non-critical output from context so that other important output from the script doesn't get so easily lost. I'm already logging that output to a file, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of the console as well. I've tried the following command-line options to context, as suggested by context --help: --batchmode --silent --silent=typesetting --noconsole but none of these seem to have any effect on the output! I could just have the script discard stdout from context; I'm not sure how much of the output that would get rid of, but it may be good enough. However it's not ideal. (When an error occurs, as sometimes happens, I don't want the error message and its context to be hidden while the console waits for the user to respond blindly. I assume that would be on stderr anyway though...) Can anyone tell me how to suppress non-critical messages from context as it runs? Thanks, Lars

Index register page entry numbers missing
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

In the following example, page number entries in the index are not displayed when a blank line is inserted in the text, but do appear without that blank. This happens with both the current 20140316 standalone beta and with TL2013. (I noticed this constructing MWEs for other index register problems. It is likely not a problem in real life, but may provide insight into other issues.) \starttext Why do the entry page numbers disappear when a blank line follows this line, and reappear when the blank line is removed?

vertical alignment of margindata
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi, apologies for the slightly silly example, but I hope it shows my problem: from processing an xml file, I have material which is best typeset in some sort of table environment (I think). It also has some sort of sectioning mechanism which is displayed as margindata. If you typeset the example, you can see that these margindata are aligned to the bottom line of the table. Is there any way to make them align to the top? Bonus points if they are aligned with the content of the first table row (and not with the top border of the table).

\seeindex and secondary index (register) levels
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

How can I get \seeindex to refer to other than the top-level of an index entry? In the following MWE, I would like to link to /text+more/, not /text,/ and not /text+some/. That is, the highlight should include the name of the lower level(s). The actual link should be to the page with the entry for the reference text in the case that the top level is on one page of the index and the secondary entry on the next page. If this cannot be done, I can live with a separate \index{text, more} entry, but that is ugly when there are other text+something entries. I would also like to be able to specify the format of the reference, perhaps with before/middle/after keys. This would allow /text -> more/ or otherwise as my publisher's style guide may require. \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext Some text\index{text+some}. More text\index{text+more}. And more\seeindex{I want}{text+more} and more\seeindex{I get}{text}. \placefootnotes \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik

Text background regression in 20140316 beta
by Rik Kabel 16 Mar '14

16 Mar '14

Hans and list, Previous to the 20140316 beta, we were able to prevent text backgrounds from bleeding over the footnote space with \chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone as you described in a 2008 list entry. While the problem it resolves is still there, the fix is now broken. The background on the following page is starts too far down the page (although it appears to have the proper depth). The following example demonstrates the problem.

The register mechanism has been adapted a bit and this was probably a positive side effect. Some changes: - using mixed columns - support for: referencemethod=forward (smaller tuc files) - more efficient interactive support (esp when no page numbers) - better keeping entries and subentries together Apart from that the beta has some (small) speed improvements and there will be a slightly different index anchoring once the new version of luatex is available on all platforms. Also, the beta has slightly different low level implementation of some of the interactive features (which can result in more efficient pdf files in some cases). In fact, due to some other changes, pdf files could be smaller anyway.
