Wrong markings
by Marco Patzer 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, in the following example the markings are wrong. \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[section][both]}] [{\getmarking[section][first]\space\emdash\space \getmarking[section][last]}] \starttext \def\aa#1{\section{#1}\input knuth} \processcommacommand [A, B, C, D, E] \aa \stoptext I expect the markings on the left and right to be the same and show A–C on the first page and D–E on the second one. Looks like a bug to me. current version: 2013.06.10 22:51 Marco

bar graphs, m-graph, sarith
by John Kitzmiller 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

When trying to make a bar graph with m-graph.mkiv and sarith, the command Ssub (string subtract) seems to Sadd instead. An mwe of a bar graph: (data1 is a separate file containing 01 02 02 03) \usemodule[m-graph] \startMPpage[instance=graph] input sarith; draw begingraph(5cm,5cm); gdata("data1", v, path p; augment.p(v1,0); augment.p(v1,v2) augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",0); gfill p--cycle withcolor .8white; gdraw p--cycle; ); endgraph; \stopMPpage ...which gives bars of width 0.4 starting at abscissa 1 and 2 as expected. To increase the width of the bars to 0.8 and have them centered over 1 and 2, I expect to Ssub from the first two augments: \usemodule[m-graph] \startMPpage[instance=graph] input sarith; draw begingraph(5cm,5cm); gdata("data1", v, path p; augment.p(v1 Ssub "0.4",0); augment.p(v1 Ssub "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",v2); augment.p(v1 Sadd "0.4",0); gfill p--cycle withcolor .8white; gdraw p--cycle; ); endgraph; \stopMPpage However, the Ssub adds instead and gives a line at 1.4 and 2.4. Compiling the above with mpost or mptopdf gives the desired result(s), but I am curious if this can be resolved so such bar graphs could be made within ConTeXT/METAFUN. Thanks! John

[***SPAM***] How to reduce vertical spacing after this table
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

I'Ve been trying dozens of combinations to try to reduce the vertical space between the a table and the local footer to some items in the table, but have just been running into a wall. Here is a minimal example. For my application there is just too much space between the bottom of the table and the footnote. That is the problem. Also is there a more elegant way to get the footnote aligned under the table to the left side. I am using narrower to force it to postion. This doesn't show up right in the minimal, but it works. Help in solving this would be greatly appreciated. %---------------- \defineconversion[fnsym][\m{\dagger},\m{*},\m{**},\m{***}] % footnote header symbols \starttext \subject{Subject Name} \blank \startlocalfootnotes % [conversion=set fnsym] \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym,rule=off] % change footnote symbols \midaligned { \placetable[here,none][]{} { \setuptables[bodyfont=10pt,after=\nowhitespace,spaceafter=none] \starttable[|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|] \HL \VL X-ITEM \VL \VL$\oplus$ \footnote[hanzi]{Traditional Characters} \VL \VL$\oplus$ \note[hanzi]\VL\VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL\MR \VL Y-ITEM \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL \VL$\oplus$ \VL\MR \HL \stoptable } } \setupnarrower[left=2.5cm] % to align footnote under the table \startnarrower[left] \placelocalfootnotes[here] \stopnarrower \stoplocalfootnotes \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=n,rule=on] % restore footnotes to global \stoptext %----------------

relative references?
by Steffen Kram 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

Hello, is it possible to reference parts of a document in a "relative" style? My structure is as follows: \startproduct … \startbodymatter \component chapterFoo/main \component chapterBar/main \stopbodymatter … \stopproduct Each of my chapters uses \chapter, \section … \subsubsubsection markers. I would like to use references for each of them. Is it possible to reference for example the subsection "Foo AA" from the chapter start with an relative reference such as \chapter[sec:foo]{Foo} \in[fooA:fooAA] \section[fooA]{Foo A} \subsection[fooAA]{Foo AA} but when referencing it from the second chapter use a absolute reference: \chapter[sec:bar]{Bar} \in[sec:foo:fooA:fooAA] … Is this possible? Or must I use absolute references and identifiers everywhere? Cheers, Steffen

suggestion: setups for \startitem
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Hi, this is just a small suggestion for the interface: since a while, we've had \startitem \stopitem. Would it be possible / feasible / interesting to add a bit of configuration to it? I tried looking at the source. but couldn't find anything. This minimal example explains what I mean: \starttext \startitemize \item One \item Two \sym{$\Rightarrow$} Three \stopitemize \startitemize \startitem One \stopitem \startitem Two \stopitem \startitem[sym=$\Rightarrow$] Three \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext How to achieve the result of #1 with the syntax in #2? Thanks and best wishes Thomas

Placing figures with text wrap causes page break
by Philip 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

I've searched through the ContextGarden documentation and tried Googling this issue, but I must not be hitting the right keywords. Sorry if this has already been answered. When I place a figure with the following code, the document leaves two-thirds of the page before blank and puts the graphic on the following page. I have other figures in the document and this issue happens repeatedly throughout. Below is my abbreviated ConTeXt. I've tried adding \dontleavehmode like this, but it results in the graphic moving to the left and being overwritten by the text. \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\dontleavehmode\externalfigure [another_graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} I've also tried adding \dontleavehmode like this, but it has no effect: \dontleavehmode \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} How can I get the "Some more text" to move up to fill the empty page? Thank you for any help you can provide! \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[ topspace=0.5in, backspace=1in, header=24pt, footer=36pt, height=middle, width=middle] \setupwhitespace[big] \setupalign [right, nothyphenated] \setupcaptions{style=\tfx\ss] \define\bold{\dontleavehmode\groupedcommand\bf\donothing} \starttext \title{title text} Some text here. \bold{subheader} \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} More text \placefigure[right,2*hang,nonumber] {Longish caption text} {\externalfigure [another_graphic.jpg] [0.4 \textwidth]} Even more text \stoptext

[***SPAM***] Headers on Empty Page at End of Chapter
by Malte Stien 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hello, When you setup your chapters such that a chapter always starts on a right page, you naturally get the occasional empty left page just before that. I have my headers setup like this \setupheadertexts[chapter][section] I get the chapter and section name of the previous section printed in the header of that empty page, but I want that page just empty. Is there a way? Regards, Malte. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

--purgebufffers option?
by Pablo Rodríguez 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Dear Hans, I compile ConTeXt documents with --purgeall, but if I save buffers into files and typeset those files or I typeset buffers directly, these files aren’t purged after successful compilation. Would it be possible to enable an option (such as --purgebuffers) that removes all buffer files generated by that compilation? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Good evening, I recently reported a ^context bug in debian stable^ [1]. The error is: > mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted Since this is quite generic, the maintainer asked me wheter there were any core files.

nasty crash
by Meer, H. van der 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

A nasty crash occurs with no helpful output in the log. It seems likely to arise from a complicated hbox, because the log ends abruptly in: \hbox(80.33+74.07002)x426.78 The output on the console isn't helpful either, I merely get: pages > flushing realpage 12, userpage 8 mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted This log message isn't closed with a newline. Of course I tried to construct a minimal example, but did not succeed. When I isolate the page where the execution crashes then no error occurs. It might be something in ConTeXt, but also something in luatex. Any idea how I can collect more information for trying to pinpoint the problem? Hans van der Meer

PdfXChange Viewer (slightly related to "Overriding pdfview")
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Hello, as I saw many pdf viewers being supported by "--autopdf=...", there is one more (my favourite; Windows) - basic version is free but powerful, fast, keeps last view for each document; allows auto-reopen lately opened docs; enables copy-to-clipboard (text/image); annotations; allows simply open the document with all other installed pdf viewers; bookmarks; page thums; layers; attached files; many printing opts including n x m pages per sheet; ... http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer It might be good to support this viewer, too, for completeness. Command line options (copied form the manual): " Command Line option The PDF-XChange Viewer may be started with a PDF file or URL name as the first item on the command line. This facilitates starting the Viewer in File Associations or using Windows ShellExecute. The form of the command line for using this option is: PDFXCview.exe [command] [filename1] [[filename2] [… [filenameN]]] Where command can be one of the following commands: /A "param=value [&param2=value [&...]" /close[:save|discard|ask] /print[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&printer=<printername>][&pages=<pagesrange>]] /printto[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&pages=<pagesrange>]] <printername> /exportp <setting_file_name> /importp <setting_file_name> /RegServer /UnregServer /usep <setting_file_name> " Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Cloze Text (text with gaps)
by Christian Prim 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi list I wonder if I can typeset a cloze text using context. The gaps (__________) must have a given length (say in cm or the length of a given word, given sentence) and must break at the end of a line. \hl[4] is nice but won't do the trick since it won't break. \fillinline and others fill the hole line, but I only want to fill a given size. Are there some ideas how to deal with it? Example: The name of the _____________ is _____ ________. And now it's time to go to bed. Some more text..... Hope you get the point. Thanks in advance Christian PS.: For Latex there is a package: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/79689/control-ulines-for-cloze-text

Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview
by Keith J. Schultz 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi All, I have been following this thread with some amusement. There is no real optimal answer to this question short of developing a dedicated pdfviewer for ConTeXt. But, is this the best use of our resources. Furthermore, how about a dedicated editor? ;-)) (just joking, but I am sure somebody would come with the idea eventually, once we start down this path) As a Mac user, and one that shys away from using X. I use TeXShop. TeXShop has a multiplatform counterpart TeXWorks, distributed with TeXLive. It has a integrated pdf viewer with SyncTeX functionality. Its pdf viewer is based on Poppler. How good it is I can not say. But, it should not be two hard to extract it and turn it into a standalone. I think it could work as an adequate viewer. If someone then needs to use something better they can write the scripts they need themselves. Maybe, the TeXWorks guys could help. regards Keith
