Re: [NTG-context] setuphead for in-paragraph head ?
by Jean-Guillaume 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Thanks for your reply, Marco. Here is a full example: \starttext \definehead[Exercise][subsection] \setuphead [Exercise] [after=] \startExercise[]{(this is the exercise's title)} The exercise's content. \stopExercise \stoptext After contexting it, it looks like: 1 (this is the exercise's title) The exercise's content. Actually, I would like to have the head's number and the head's title on the same line. That is, whith no new line. Jean-Guillaume

setuphead for in-paragraph head ?
by Jean-Guillaume 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hi all, this is my first message here. In the subsection head, I would like to suppress the newline between the number and the text, so it behaves like some kind of numbered subsubject. I tried to modify some examples from the wiki, but without success. In http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuphead , most of the options are not explained. My purpose is to define something like: \definehead[Exercise][subsection] \setuphead [Exercise] [alternative=Mine?, ..., numberstyle=bold] So I can typeset a list of exercises in a compact way. I could use enumerations but I don't think I should. Thanks.

trouble with the title page using the FramedTitle style of the simpleslides module
by Jesse Alama 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

I'm working with the simpleslides module and am trying to prepare a presentation using the FramedTitle style. Things are mostly OK, but I notice one curious problem with the title page. Try this out on the live ConTeXt installation: % -- the beginning \usemodule[simpleslides] [ style=FramedTitle, ] \setupTitle[ title={Why is this red?}, author={You}, date={\date[y=2014,m=1,d=07]}, ] \placeTitle \SlideTitle{this is white (maybe grey)} text in black as expected % -- the end What I notice is that the text on the title page (title, author, date) is * in red on a red background (quite hard to read), and * not centered (even though in the documentation for the simpleslides module and the examples it contains the content on the titleslide ought to be centered). I'm using an up-to-date ConTexT; I have the minimals installed on my machine and just did an update today using $ ./first-setup.sh --modules=all I'm running in mkiv mode in the sense that I run simply $ context slides.tex and I can confirm, using $ which context that I really am running the ConTeXt that I expect. In any case, the curiosity I describe can be replicated using the live ConTeXt on the ConTeXtgarden. Can you see what might be going wrong? Thanks, Jesse

luatex or luajittex?
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Dear list, first of all, best wishes to all for the new year 2014. I have just updated the ConTeXt Suite and I discovered that the latest luatex version is newer than the luajittex version (0.78.0 vs. 0.77.0). Which one is preferable: luatex or luajittex? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

can not get the quotation marks from the fallback fonts
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, i find the quotation marks in those chinese fallback fonts can not work as before. They always be replaced with the latin fonts. please see the following example: \definefontsynonym[pagella][name:texgyrepagellaregular] \definefontfallback[song][name:adobesongstd][0x00400-0x2FA1F] \definefontsynonym[fbsong][pagella][fallbacks=song] \definefont[newsong][fbsong] \starttext \newsong 中文的\quotation{引号}。 \stoptext i have another question, when i make texgyrepagellaregular as the fallback font for adobesongstd, it can not work. see the following example: \definefontsynonym[song][name:adobesongstd] \definefontfallback[pagella][name:texgyrepagellaregular][0x0000-0x0400] \definefontsynonym[fbsong][song][fallbacks=pagella] \definefont[newsong][fbsong] \starttext \newsong 夹杂 English 的中文文本 \stoptext the above "English" word is still display with adobesongstd but not pagella. -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

Headertexts in the center
by "H. Özoguz" 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi there, with \setupheadertexts which takes four arguments, one can place headertexts on four places on a double-page. But how one can place only two headertexts at the top-center of the even/odd pages? So the arguments should not be places (left-right)-(right left) but simply (center)-(center). Thanks! Huseyin

context mkiv output options
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Can MKIV ConTeXt output image files. I need to create an image file from a document and would prefer use Context to output it directly if possible and not have to convert a pdf file to an image file such as png or tiff. Is there a command line option for this. I looked at the outpuf from $ context --help , but cold find no answer there. It did not even mention the --pdf option, which does exist. Thanks

Some questions on float combinations
by Alexey Kryukov 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hi all, recently I finished typesetting a block of inset illustrations for a journal on history, which I first implemented in LaTeX and then moved to ConTeXt (I am using a version from TeXLive 2013 packaged with openSUSE 13.1). Basically I am greatly satisfied with the result, as the code looks much clearer now. However, I still see some things which can be done in LaTeX by a more natural way. First of all, is there a dedicated method to rotate an entire combination or floatcombination by 90 degrees? I see floats have a special option to control this, but float combinations don't (am I right here?). And if I enclose a float combination into a \rotate command, then the height of the rotated block seems to be incorrectly calculated, so that about a half of the block goes outside of the upper page boundary. Second, not all image combinations can be described by a simple matrix, and the documentation doesn't explain what to do in such more complex cases (nor the Wiki does). For example, in my document some pages have three images ordered in two columns: one relatively tall image side-by-side with two smaller ones. To make the things worse such combinations are usually placed on landscape pages. The obvious solution here seems to be to somewhow group two smaller images and then put them into a float combination. Unfortunately, this doesn't work, as floatcombination seems to ignore all enclosed boxing commands/environments and even nested float combinations. Finally I managed to achieve the desired layout by defining a set of parallel paragraphs, which fortunately worked even inside a \rotate command (columns and columnsets with embedded floats didn't). Still it would be nice to have a special interface allowing to combine floats and float combinations into larger blocks. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov <anagnost at yandex dot ru> Moscow State University Faculty of History

Problem with creation of a new alignment
by KONVOJ, spol. s r. o. 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hello all in 2014, the following minimal example does not work, neither with start-stop marks, nor with \setupalign, nor with both. I use CTX from TeXlive 2013. The same behaviour has been found in TL2012 whereas in TL2011 and 2010 it works properly. What is the new way to define some new alignments? Tomas Hala \installalign{lastcenter}{ % justified, but the last line should be centered \leftskip=0pt plus1fil \rightskip=0pt plus-1fil \parfillskip=0pt plus2fil \parindent0pt} \starttext \startalignment[lastcenter] \setupalign[lastcenter] \input knuth \stopalignment \stoptext

XML and ConTeXt - no XML text showing up in output
by Steve Anderson 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

I'm following the instructions in http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xml-mkiv.pdf for using XML in ConTeXt. When I run the first example, I get a PDF, but only the hard-coded text string "Contents" is in the PDF; none of the strings from the XML file are in the PDF.

Hi everybody, First of all, my best wishes of a very happy new year to all users of this list ! I used to update context standalone with the script ctx-update : cd /Users/rolandthiers/context rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex Usually the update runs well, no problem. But the last time it did not work.

Loading the fonts (?) takes too much time -- or maybe the programme is stuck, I don't know because I interrupted after a very long time at: fonts > names > globbing path '/System/Library/Fonts/**.ttf' How can I avoid that, I don't use system fonts.

current
by Hans Hagen 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi, I uploaded a current. As we're now moving forward to luatex 0.80 (with currently 0.78 as beta) the current reflects the < 0.78 state of affairs. From now on betas might use new luatex functionality so best update to 0.78+ (unless i mess up too much older luatex's will work ok too). The upcoming months the redone bibtex support will also en dup in the code base (given that it passes Thomas and Allan quality assessments). The minimals are now windows 32 and windows 64 aware. There are two installation zips on the garden. If you're on 64 bit but still run 32 bit, you can best - wipe context/bin (where the installer files live) - unzip the new installer zip - remove the status file - remove context/tex/texmf-mswin (the new binaries are in context/tex/texmf-win64) and run the status-update script. Or just install the while lot fresh (which is fast anyway), and keep the old trees for a while. Thanks to Akira for supporting 64 bit and keeping up so fast, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

workarounds required for book layouts.
by john Culleton 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

For print books the half-title page is backed by a blank page but the full title page is backed by the copyright page. The first page of the bodymatter (chapter 1 in most cases) is recto faced by a blank verso. There are workarounds that obtain this layout. First \standardmakeup command must be modified thus: \setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no] Then to get a blank page after the half title We must insert a dummy page thus: \startstandardmakeup \null \stopstandardmakeup These two moves put a blank page after the half title but forbid it thereafter. The blank page after \startbodymatter, after \startbackmatter and after \startappendix is provided by: \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=] \setupsectionblock[bodypart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[backpart] [page=] \setupsectionblock[appendix] [page=] This combination of workarounds gets the job done. There may be other combinations that do it as well. My suggestion is that all the above setup commands should be built into context. It takes some exploration of the mailing list to ferret out these layout techniques. I have already added them to my boilerplate macros.tex file that I insert in every book layout file. But others have to discover these techniques afresh when they start using Context for books. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Comfortaa font and ligatures
by Flavien Lambert 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

Dear all, I would like to use the comfortaa font available at http://www.dafont.com/comfortaa.font. I managed - maybe in a wrong way - to do it through the following example: \definefontfeature[comfortaa][mode=node,kern=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes] \starttypescriptcollection[comfortaa] \starttypescript[sans][comfortaa][name] \setups[font:fallback:sans] \definefontsynonym[Sans][name:comfortaa][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[comfortaa] \definetypeface[\typescriptone][ss][sans][comfortaa][default] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection \setupbodyfont[comfortaa] \starttext fl fi \stoptext Unfortunately, there are no ligatures whereas the snapshots given by the author show some of them like fi and fl. Did I use the correct script? Best regards, Flavien.

[metapost] troubles with labels
by Pol Stra 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Dear all, with this minimalist content of metapost file: ``` beginfig(1); dotlabel.ulft("A", origin); endfig; end. ``` And this conteXt file: ``` \starttext \startMPrun input mymp.mp; \stopMPrun \externalfigure[mprun.21][width=5cm] \stoptext ``` The resulting pdf file contains no figure. But this conteXt file works: ``` \starttext \startMPcode dotlabel.ulft("A", origin); \stopMPcode \stoptext ``` As with any metapostfile which does not contain labels. But as soon as there is label, their is no figure. Two last things: if I compile the metapost file with standalone metapost, I can include the resulting file as an external figure. But if I put a label "A'", while with displaying figure with a viewer it is ok, when included in a conteXt file, I only obtain "A" label. Also, if I try to change the font in the metapost file (for example defaultfont:="pplr8r";) it does not work in conteXt. Do you have an explanation or workaround? Thank you

boxedcolumns weirdness
by H. van der Meer 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

I am typesetting a series of items with boxedcolumns enclose in a framedtext: \startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth,offset=0pt,frame=off,align=tolerant] \startboxedcolumns[n=2,separator=rule] Occasionally it happens that material at the end of the first column is not typeset. It occurs haphazardly in a large (more than 300) series of items. Depending on the length of the first columns material (I introduced extra space with \crlf, \blank, \blank[dimension]) other items exhibit the effect. Because of this haphazard character, the large data set and the fact that I could not isolate it in a few items, I regrettably do not have a minimal example. Thus I can only signal it here, in case others encounter it too. Or in case the person maintaining this code happens to spot the problem from the observation alone.

Centering the last line in combination subcaptions
by Jan Tosovsky 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Hello Everyone, I try to fill the entire page with two images with their captions. The final page should be floating, keeping both images together and not containing any other text. I found this solution. It work fine for short captions / wide images. \starttext test \startplacefigure[location=page, number=no, title={}] %\setupcombinations[align={hz, hanging}] %\setuptolerance[strict] {\startcombination[1*2] {\externalfigure[cow]} {\input{ward}} {\externalfigure[cow]} {\input{ward}} \stopcombination} \stopplacefigure \stoptext If captions are long and the image narrow, they are typeset on multiple lines. Default centering produces the ragged column - both not very nice and difficult to read. When the alignment is set to hanging, it looks better except the last line which is not centered. Is there any settings for centering the last line? Can the 'column' width be somehow extended to e.g. 80% of text width? If not via the 'combination', are there any better alternatives for my use case? Any hint is appreciated. Thanks, Jan

underbrace under stacked math error with latest beta (2013.12.26)

\quotation with yfrak-font?

In the following minimal example I'd like to get quotation marks around the "Nein!", but I don't: ------------------------------------------------------------ \starttext \language[de] \pdfmapline{yfrak <yfrak.pfb} \definefont[YfrakFont][yfrak at 11pt] \YfrakFont Zu meinem Vorschlag sagte das: M*adchen: \quotation{Nein!} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------- Please, what is wrong?
