Linecorrection and distances
by "H. Özoguz" 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

I use grid-setting, but have elements, which should not be set on the grid (because it is impossible, because of different interlinespaces, bigger fonts, or whatever). For these elements I use \startlinecorrection Elements \stoplinecorrection After these elements the normal text is continued, set on the grid again. That is all working and fine. But: The distances between these "\startlinecorrection Elements \stoplinecorrection" blocks and the text (both distances, before and after) are not always the same, they seem to be random. How to correct that without inserting "\vksip+-Xpt" manually before/after the linecorrected blocks? For testing: \showgrid \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definefont[big][name:Arial at 25 pt] \def\kurztext{Dies ist ein kurzer Text. Die anderen Standardtexte sind deutlich zu lang.} \starttext \kurztext \startlinecorrection \big \kurztext Und noch Zusatztext. \stoplinecorrection \kurztext \startlinecorrection \big \kurztext \stoplinecorrection \kurztext \stoptext In the above example you can see it, the distances between the grid set and the not grid set text are different. Thanks for your help once again. Huseyin

Some questions about the letter module
by Michael Ash 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Dear all, I am using the letter module that came with context. A sample of a basic letter is below; I have put in "dummy" for the logo and the signature, but these are working fine when I include the files. I have several questions: 1. to center the footer. 2. to lower the footer (closer to the bottom of the page) 3. to delete the word "Date" above the date. 4. to put the date *above *the recipient address (and how in general do I adjust the vertical space here). 5. to left-justify the date. 6. to control the foldmarks (for US-letter-size paper, omit, etc.) I have consulted http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter but there are many things I don't understand. What is the meaning of "alternative=example"; what is the option "preset=" in \setuplayer[foot] ? Also is there a better way to manage color? I \definecolor, \startcolor, \stopcolor, but maybe there is a better way to indicate that certain sections of the letter should be in a color. Thanks. Thank you very much for your guidance. Yours, Michael \usemodule[letter] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \definecolor[maroon][h=990033] \setuplanguage [en] [date={dd, month, year}] \setupletteroptions [language=english, bodyfont={rm,12pt}, ] % Define logo for the first page \defineletterelement[layer][head][example]% {\framed[background=logohead,height=25mm,frame=off,align=left]% {\externalfigure[dummy]}} % We put our logo in the head \setupletterlayer[head] [alternative=example, x=9mm, y=10mm ] \defineletterelement[layer][foot][example]% {\startcolor[maroon] \ss \tfx The University of Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution. \stopcolor} \setupletterlayer[foot][ align=centerbottom, alternative=example] \setupletter[ name={Michael Ash}, dept={Department of Economics}, building={Thompson Hall}, street={200 Hicks Way}, city={Amherst, MA 01003-9277}, phone={+1-413-545-2590}, fax={+1-413-545-2921}, email={mash(a)econs.umass.edu} ] \defineletterelement[layer][location][example]% {\setuptabulate[bodyfont=normal] \startcolor[maroon] \starttabulate[|lw(.4\textwidth)|rw(.55\textwidth)|] \NC \tfa \sc University of Massachusetts \NC \NR \NC \tfa \sc Amherst \NC \correspondenceparameter{dept} \NR \NC \NC \NR \NC\correspondenceparameter{building} \NC tel \correspondenceparameter{phone} \NR \NC\correspondenceparameter{street} \NC fax \correspondenceparameter{fax}\NC\NR \NC\correspondenceparameter{city} \NC \correspondenceparameter{email} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopcolor} \setupletterlayer[location] [alternative=example, x=42mm, y=4mm ] \starttext \startletter[ toname={Professor Addressee}, toaddress={123 West Home Ave.\\Chicago, IL 60614}, opening={Dear Dr. Addressee,}, subject={A test letter}, closing={Best regards,}, signature={\externalfigure[dummy]\\Michael Ash} ] Thank you very much for the invitation I am truly honored by the opportunity and delighted to attend.

Problems with bibtex in current beta
by Steffen Kram 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi all, I've got still problems with the latest beta. I used first_setup.sh to setup my basic environment, and then I replaced the slightly older beta, as Marco suggested, with the current version from http://pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip. Now, if I try to build my doc, no bibtex is generated. I use the following bibtex setup: \setupheadtext [de][pubs=Literaturverzeichnis] \setuppublications[numbering=no, alternative=apa-de, refcommand=authoryears, autohang=no, criterium=cite, sorttype=bbl] \setuppublicationlist[style={}, after={\blank}, criterium=text] \setupbibtex[database={papers,books,articles,reports,urls}, sort=author] To make sure, none of my libraries contains an error, I also replaced them with sample.bib file from the wiki. \setupbibtex[database={sample}, sort=author] During the tests I always removed all generated bibtex artifacts. But I still end up with a main.blg file saying: This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2013) Capacity: max_strings=150000, hash_size=150000, hash_prime=127507 The top-level auxiliary file: main.aux I couldn't open style file cont-au.bst ---line 2 of file main.aux : \bibstyle{cont-au : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command I found no style file---while reading file main.aux You've used 0 entries, 0 wiz_defined-function locations, 85 strings with 495 characters, and the built_in function-call counts, 0 in all, are: … The main.aux contains \citation{*} \bibstyle{cont-au} \bibdata{sample} and the main.bbl stays empty. I just don't get it, this did work and I even tried to compile a known working version. Do I have to initialize bibtex somehow? Thanks for any suggestions! Steffen

PDF-Toc text is wrong for new \start… commands
by Steffen Kram 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi all, I just converted my thesis from the old \chapter format to the new \startchapter … commands, to be more flexible when defining the titles for toc etc. If you're just giving a title, e.g. \startsection[ title={my fancy section} ] bla \stopsection then the title is correctly displayed within the document. Nevertheless, it ends up enclosed in curly braces in the PDF-Toc. My current workaround, if I put a comma after the title \startsection[ title={my fancy section}, ] it looks fine. Guess this is bug, not expected behavior. Cheers, Steffen

counter in linenote disables hyphenation in body text

Dear list, in the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \newcounter\LineNote \setupnote[linenote][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[linenote][alternative=serried] \define[2]\Variant {\increment\LineNote \startlinenote[LineNote:\LineNote]{#1 #2} #1% \stoplinenote[LineNote:\LineNote]} \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{10}{\Variant{not original}{variant} \Variant{origin}{variants} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext I have realized that hyphenation is disabled in body text when \increment\LineNote is used in the \Variant command definition. I don’t know whether this is a bug, but I don’t know how to workaround it either. Does anyone how to get the body text hyphenated with this command? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Chapter-Names and Section-Names in Header don't work as expected
by Thomas Friedrich 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hello, I would like to put the \chapter and \section names, including their respected numbers, in the header of my document, in small script and separated from the main text by a horizontal line, the width of \textwidth. On uneven pages the chapter-names, on even pages the section names. Reading the manual (4.16 Headers and Footers), I thought this should work: \setuppagenumbering[start=start,alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheader[][style=small,after=\hrule] \setupheadertexts[section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] Problems: 1) the mark "chapter" does not work. The section title appears but not the chapter title. 2) The chapter-number and the section-number don't appear in the header. 3) \hrule draws a line from the very left to the very right of the page. My Questions: i) What is the "mark-mechanism" that is mentioned in the manual (couldn't find any information about that). ii) Why does chapter not work? iii) \hrule is probably not the best command here? I found the following somewhere in the web: \setupheadertexts[{\tfx\fetchmark[section][first]}][][][{\tfx\fetchmark[chapter][current]}] which gives me indeed the chapter-name. Why "current" instead of "first"? What do I have to add to get the numbers? Thank you for your help! Thomas PS. I am using mkii, I belive, (texexec ...)

[***SPAM***] Shifting table header when using overlay
by Dmitriy Tokarev 15 Jul '13

Hi All, I'm trying to get a table header with such bottom border: |============| I plan to use an overlay to overlap the the internal borders of the cells. But in this case, the table header somehow slightly shifted to the left relative to the body (see attachment). Is it possible to remove this effect? Or maybe there is another way to achieve the desired border?

keeping headings with following texts
by Pablo Rodríguez 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Dear list, writing an article on ConTeXt, I have found what I think is a surprising feature (at least, a surprising default): headings don’t always keep with next paragraph, so they can end up in being widowed (heading + page break + first paragraph on next page). Sorry, but I’m afraid that I don’t understand this default. I have never seen a printed book that displays this behavior (unless the heading was alone on its page). Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m more than happy with ConTeXt. But would anyone be so kind to explain the reason of the described default? (I’m trying to understand, so I can explain to others.) I have found on the list (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/023357.html) the way to avoid this: \setuphead[section][before={\page[bigpreference]}] How can I know which is the exact default value in any given command? (I need to know the before values for headings, at least.) Is there a way to enable the “keep with next” option for all headings? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hello everyone, I search a way to translate the following XeLaTeX's declarations (based on the unicode-math package): \setmainfont{Linux Libertine G} \setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Liberation Sans} \setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase, ItalicFont=lmmono10-italic.otf, BoldFont=lmmonolt10-bold.otf, BoldItalicFont=lmmonolt10-boldoblique.otf, SmallCapsFont=lmmonocaps10-regular]{lmmono10-regular.otf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{TeX Gyre Termes Math} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathup]{linlibertine_r_g.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathbfup]{linlibertine_rz_g.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathsfup]{liberationsans-regular.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathsfit]{liberationsans-italic.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathbfsfup]{liberationsans-bold.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathbfsfit]{liberationsans-bolditalic.ttf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathtt]{lmmono10-italic.otf} \setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase, range=\mathscr]{asana-math.otf} into a ConTeXt's typescript. I succeed to set the serif, sansserif and mono fonts; but I need help for the math settings. \startenvironment liberty \starttypescript [liberty] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:LinLibertine_R_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Serif] [features=smallcaps] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:LinLibertine_RI_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:LinLibertine_RZ_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:LinLibertine_RZI_G] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [SerifBoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [file:LiberationSans-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Sans] [features=smallcaps] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [file:LiberationSans-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [SansItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [file:LiberationSans-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [file:LiberationSans-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [SansBoldItalic] \definetypeface [liberty] [rm] [serif] [liberty] [default] \definetypeface [liberty] [ss] [sans] [liberty] [default] [rscale=0.816] \definetypeface [liberty] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[liberty, serif, 10pt] \stopenvironment Thanks in advance.

two bugs with compressed linenotes
by Pablo Rodríguez 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Dear Hans, I have found two bugs with compressed linenotes that I reported (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/073940.html and http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/073953.html) I would like to introduce ConTeXt for critical editions to some Spanish-speaking people and I think this is a very useful feature. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Different font variants (normal <> condensed, light <> regular <> bold, etc.)
by Zenlima 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Hi, I am trying to define the different variants of the Roboto font ([1] for sans and [2][3][4][5] for serif). Now I am trying to define this for context but I have no idea how to define the condensed versions (plus how to access it later). And how do I enter and access the different weights next to regular and bold (light, thin, heavy)? And how to define the weight light as default (instead of regular)? I got so far: --------8<-------------------------- \enableregime[utf] \definefontfeature[Latn-smallcaps][smcp=yes,script=latn,kern=yes] \definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] \definefontfeature[arab][mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab,init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes,mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes] \definefontsynonym [arab--scheherazade--serif][name:scheherazade][features=arab] \definefontsynonym[brai--6punktoj][name:6punktoj] %^1 \starttypescript[sans][roboto] \definefontfallback[Sans][brai--6punktoj][0x2800-0x283f][force=yes,check=no] \definefontfallback[Sans][arab--scheherazade--serif][0x0600-0x06ff,0x0750-0x077f,0xfb50-0xfdff,0xfe70-0xfefe][force=yes,check=no,rscale=1.9] \definefontsynonym[Sans][name:robotoregular][fallbacks=Sans] \definefontsynonym[SansBold][name:robotobold] \definefontsynonym[SansItalic][name:robotoitalic] \definefontsynonym[SansSlanted][name:robotoitalic] \definefontsynonym[SansBoldItalic][name:robotobolditalic] \definefontsynonym[SansBoldSlanted][name:robotobolditalic] \definefontsynonym[SansCaps][name:robotoregular][features=Latn-smallcaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][roboto] \definefontfallback[Serif][brai--6punktoj][0x2800-0x283f][force=yes,check=no] \definefontfallback[Serif][arab--scheherazade--serif][0x0600-0x06ff,0x0750-0x077f,0xfb50-0xfdff,0xfe70-0xfefe][force=yes,check=no,rscale=1.9] \definefontsynonym[Serif][name:robotoslabregular][fallbacks=Serif] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold][name:robotoslabbold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic][name:robotoslabregular][features=fakeitalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifSlanted][name:robotoslabregular][features=fakeitalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][name:robotoslabbold][features=fakeitalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][name:robotoslabbold][features=fakeitalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][name:robotoslabregular][features=Latn-smallcaps] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[fliesstext][rm][serif][roboto] \definetypeface[fliesstext][ss][sans][roboto] \setupbodyfont[fliesstext,rm,11pt] ----8<------------------------------------------ Any help is appreciated :-) 1) That braille font is created by myself and will be published for ConTeXt soon - still a little rocky.

linenumbering in columnsets (or different solution?)
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Hi, I want a document with two columns; left column is poetry, so I want the lines to be numbered. Unfortunately, linenumbering doesn't appear to work in columns(ets), so my next attempt was to produce a third, very narrow column which displays the line numbers. However, columnsets with different columns is not implemented in mkiv, AFAICS. Examples: No line numbers: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definecolumnset [numbered] [n=2] \setupcolumnset [numbered] [distance=0.5cm,frame=on] \starttext \startcolumnset [numbered] \startlinenumbering[step=1,location=text] Poetry One Word Per Line is Poetic \stoplinenumbering \column[local] Two \column[local] \stopcolumnset \stoptext Works only in mkii: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definecolumnset [numbered] [n=2] \setupcolumnset [numbered] [distance=0.5cm,frame=on] \starttext \startcolumnset [numbered] \startlinenumbering[step=1,location=text] Poetry One Word Per Line is Poetic \stoplinenumbering \column[local] Two \column[local] \stopcolumnset \stoptext Any solution? All best Thomas

Chapter number in list colored (setuplist)
by Zenlima 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, I want to color the chapter number in the table of content. The attribute "numbercolor" does not exist in setuplist. So I tried to color the chapter number via "numberstlye" ("numbercommand" is also not working): ---8<---------------------------- \define[1]\listChapterColor{\color[bordeaux]{X #1}} \setuplist[chapter][color=black,numberstyle=\listChapterColor] ----8<------------------------------ The X appears in the new color (bordeaux), but the chapter number is still uncolored - same color like rest of that line (black). What am I doing wrong here? H.

[util-jsn] incorrect handling of escapes
by Philipp Gesang 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, the JSON parser handles backslash escapes improperly. Example: local data = [[ { "escapes" : "(\")(\\)(\b)(\f)(\n)(\r)(\t)", "invalid" : "\'\v" } ]] local stuff = utilities.json.tolua (data) inspect(stuff) Currently it chokes on double quotes and treats the other escapes like Lua. Fix suggestion attached. Best regards, Philipp

First and last section of current chapter
by Marco Patzer 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, how to display the first and last section name at the beginning of each chapter? I'm a little clueless which mechanism to use. A local table of contents displays all sections. Marks maybe? Although I have no idea how to achieve that with marks. Sure, I could manually reference the sections and use \about, but this is error prone especially for the last section/chapter. Example: \starttext First chapter: %% Foo Last chapter: %% Bar \startchapter [title=Foo] First section: %% Alpha Last section: %% Gamma \section{Alpha} \input knuth \page \section{Beta} \input knuth \page \section{Gamma} \input knuth \page \stopchapter \startchapter [title=Bar] First section: %% Monday Last section: %% Wednesday \section{Monday} \input knuth \page \section{Tuesday} \input knuth \page \section{Wednesday} \input knuth \page \stopchapter \stoptext Marco
