Problem with matematics (derivative and brackets combinations) + wrong pagenumbering
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hello ConTeXist. I type some math now. When I use the symbol derivative in combination with symbols brackets, so the result does not look too good. Compared to the result in LaTeX output is almost unusable. It is possible to achieve a better result? In addition, I noticed that the page numbering starts from number 2. Is it a bug or I wrong? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my example: % This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.78.2 (TeX Live 2013/W32TeX) (rev 4771) % ConTeXt ver: 2014.01.30 22:19 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.1.30 int: english/english \starttext $\left(f\pm g\right)'= f'\pm g'$ \blank[big] $\left(f\cdot g\right)'= f'\cdot g + f\cdot g'$ \blank[big] \mathematics{\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)'=\frac{f'\cdot g - f\cdot g'}{g^2}}, $g\neq0$ \blank[big] \startformula \left(\frac{f}{g}\right)'=\frac{f'\cdot g - f\cdot g'}{g^2} \stopformula \blank[big] $\left(c\cdot f\right)'=c\cdot f'$ \blank[big] $\left[f\left(g\right)\right]'=f'(g)\cdot g'$ \blank[big] \stoptext

Bookmarks with the specified label on
by Lei WANG 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I have specified the headnumber of chapter to be "the Number chpt". By using \setuplist and \placelist with the attributes "label=yes", I could get a content with the label as what I want. But the headnumber of chapter label on bookmarks is still using "Number" intead of "the Number chpt". What should I do to enable this feature? A minimal example: \setuplabeltext[en][chapter={the , chpt}] \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \setuplist[chapter,section,subsection][alternative=c] \setuplist[chapter][distance=3em] \setuplist[section][margin=2em] \setuplist[subsection][margin=4em] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section,subsection][label=yes] \chapter{first} \input knuth \chapter{second} \input knuth \section{second2} \input knuth \subsection{second3} \input knuth \stoptext

draw random branched hydrocarbons
by DesdeChaves 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

I wrote this code to randomly draw organic branched structures. Since the organic structures have different dimensions I'm using the scale function to normalize the width. The result is a rather ugly because the structures are displayed with fonts with different sizes. Is there a way to normalize the structures width only when it exceeds a certain size?

two question on ConTeXt terminology
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Dear list, I’m writing a document on ConTeXt and I have two questions on terminology. As I have been using LaTeX over a decade, I don’t know whether my descriptions are accurate in ConTeXt. Don’t worry, My questions are extremely basic ;-). What is the name for the part of the document that comes before \starttext? The ConTeXt manual seems to use preamble, but I would like to confirm this use. The other question is more tricky. Or at least I don’t find an obvious answer. Which is the correct expression to name any \start...-\stop....structure? Environment would be the LaTeX term, but this is reserved in ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Dear list, I converted the monospace fonts of txfonts (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/txfonts/pfb) from pbf to otf using FontForge. They work fine (http://www.ousia.tk/ryfonts.zip) But the issue is shown in the following sample (beta from 2014.02.01 14:22): \definefontfamily[mainface][mono][ryt1xtt][bf=ryt1xbtt] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \definetyping[TeXcode][option=TEX] \starttext \starttyping \ConTeXt\ is \stoptyping \startTeXcode \ConTeXt\ is \stopTeXcode \stoptext If option=TEX is enabled, there is no space after the backslash.

Rearrange Table of Contents section page numbers
by Thangalin 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Hi, I am trying to recreate the following ToC entries: http://i.stack.imgur.com/ig6LX.png The code on the wiki uses: \doifelse\currentlistentrylocation{\structureheadlocation{chapter}} {{\bfb\currentlistentrytitle}} { \currentlistentrytitle}\NC\NR However, there are syntax errors and the conditional expression assumes that the ToC is being placed on every page. This assumption allows it to resolve the namedstructureheadlocation value. For a ToC at the start of a document, there is no "current chapter" and so the head location for the chapter entry returns 0. Here is what I have so far: \startsetups [list:TOC] \starttabulate \currentlistentrypagenumber{} \hskip 1em \NC \currentlistentrytitle{} \NR \stoptabulate \stopsetups \definelistalternative [TOC] [renderingsetup=list:TOC] % Format the ToC style. \setupcombinedlist[content][ alternative=TOC, ] \starttext \completecontent \startchapter [title=alpha] \stopchapter \startsection[title=alphasec] \stopsection \startchapter [title=beta] \stopchapter \startsection[title=alphasec] \stopsection \startchapter [title=gamma] \stopchapter \startsection[title=alphasec] \stopsection \stoptext How do you determine whether or not the chapter title should be displayed?

Khaled, thanks a lot for sharing this, but I believe it deserves a more descriptive title than just "fw: Thank you". Can you please also send this to other TeX mailing lists?

Testpage with extras
by "H. Özoguz" 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Hi there, I asked a similar question before, but I try it again (in a bit different way): The command \testpage[n] Paragraph sets the next paragraph on the next page, if there are less than n lines left on the current page. I use this command very often, but need it with some extension: If \testpage is "active" (meaning, there are indeed less than n lines left), then it should not only input an pagebreak, but also some other command. E.g.: somewhat like \testpage[n,{\noindentation}] should add "\noindentation" before the paragraph, if and only if, there are less than n lines left. Or maybe: "\testpage[n, {TESTPAGE IS ACTIV}" to simply add this text infront of the next paragraph (of course the first one is more interesting). At the moment I use \testpage[n]\noindentation but that fails, if the document has changed and there are >= n lines left => no pagebreak, but still \noindentation of course - but they only should act simultaneously. Is that possible in some way? Best regards! Huseyin

xterm dynamic title
by Alan BRASLAU 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hello, Using xterm and related emulators, one can set a dynamic title. Many applications set this title. (Of course, the user can program the emulator to ignore such dynamic titles, if preferred). I find it useful, especially when I have many terminal windows open, all running different processes in parallel. May I suggest the following simple change to the context script: #!/bin/sh case "$TERM" in *xterm*) echo -e -n "\e]0;${0##*/} $*\a" ;; esac mtxrun --script context "$@" 1. Perhaps it would be preferred to implement such a feature in the mtx-context.lua script, for example, rather than the shell script, as one could then add useful information such as the run number. Also, one may (or may not) want to do this when running -batch, etc. 2. On non-unix-like systems, perhaps the $TERM case would be different. Alan

For example, I can not change colors and the shapes (first example), add steps from the cell (n) to the cell (n+m, m=2,3,4...) and reverse steps. \usemodule[steps,mathml] \starttext \startSTEPtable \setupSTEPcells [alternative=5, framecolor=red] \setupSTEPtexts [framecolor=green] \setupSTEPlines [alternative=5] \cell {initial concentration, $C_i$} \text {$\div C_f$, final concentration} \cell {diluation factor, $f$} \text {inverse} \cell {$\frac{1}{f}$} \text {$\times V_f$, volume of the volumetric flask} \cell {pipette volume, $V_p$} \stopSTEPtable >From the manual: \startSTEPchart \cell {A} \cell {one} \texts{}{+2} \texts{}{+3} \cell {two} \cell {three} \texts{+4}{} \texts{+5}{} \cell {four} \cell {five} \stopSTEPchart \stoptext Jorge

special case to disable italic correction
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Jan '14

Hi Hans, after reading the relevant part for italic correction in fonts-mkiv.pdf and enabling it in my documents, I have found a case in which the italic correction could be improved. My settings are: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] If I get it right, the italic correction should be avoided before points and commas (these are all the exceptions I can imagine for this case). The explanation is simple: the space is already at the base line, since at the glyph base, the inclination of the italic or slanted glyph makes the right side-bearing larger at the baseline. The issue with italic correction is mainly with ascenders or at the cap height, but I think it isn’t at the base line (or the descenders). Because of that I think it is important to disable italic correction before points and commas. The sample shows the issue: \setuppagenumbering[location=] \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] Abf. {\em Abf}.\\ Abf, {\em Abf},\\ Abf. {\it Abf}.\\ Abf, {\it Abf}, \stopTEXpage \stoptext I think it might be worth considering. Many thanks for your help and your excellent work, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
