The context docment below shows two anomalies. One is the occurrane of the "unknown font latinmodernmath-regular, loading aborted" and two is that the compilation process halts on the first 'D' in the word Dutch, and no item bullet is typeset.

how to print a simple booklet
by Jan Pohanka 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi, this is probably a question with very simple solution, but I cannot figure it out or find a solution in wiki or manual. I just want to print simple booklet and after and after picking papers from printer do a single fold. With the following code the TITLE PAGE is correctly placed to the right of first sheet but all pages have backspace and page number on the right edge. Is that correct behaviour or I'm missing some basic fact? \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setuplayout[ width=8cm,height=middle, backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm, footer=8mm,header=0mm, alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,left},alternative=doublesided] \showframe \starttext TITLE PAGE \page[yes] \dorecurse{15}{\input knuth} \stoptext Thanks Jan

bug in compressed linenotes (and two ideas about them)
by Pablo Rodríguez 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hi Hans, I'm afraid I found another bug in linenotes (http://www.ousia.tk/compressed-linenotes.pdf and http://www.ousia.tk/compressed-linenotes.tex) When a compressed linenote is located at the beginning of the line, the inbetween distance from \setupnote is suppressed, but the distance from \setupnotation isn't. This happens either linenotes are in paragraph form or not. I have also three suggestions on the linenote spacing. I'd be highly pleased that Thomas and Idris could comment on them, since they are the experts on the topic. The first one is more a question, because I'm not sure whether this is already possible. Could I set a variable length in inbetween from \setupnote and distance from \setupnotation? This would help better spacing in linenotes. Sorry for asking, but I tried in the past and I wasn't able to do it. The other two suggestions are about enabling different spacing options for compressed linenotes than the standard spacing for linenotes. The sample shows that without separator, compressed linenotes have more blank space than standard linenotes, since compressed linenotes without separator have two added spaces without interruption. How about a compresseddistance option that assumes there is no separator and sets a single space? In the sample, compressed linenotes are preceeded by a 2em space, where standard linenotes are preceeded by a 1.5em space. Having more space for compressed linenotes than for standard ones may be misleading in some cases. And even using a separator, being able to specify different distances would be also extremely helpful, because it is not always the case where separators need more space before than after (as line reference numbers need). How about implementing two options such as compressedbefore and compressedafter that would achieve this? BTW, I tried to enclose the sample within a TEXpage, but it didn't contain the linenotes. Is this intended or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Some issues with \unit
by Marco Patzer 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Hi, most of these issues already have been discussed last year¹, but they don't seem to be solved, yet. 1) \unit{10^3} does display as 10✕10³. This is confusing and wrong. 2) Expressions like \unit{e3} result in ✕10³ instead of 10³. The multiplication sign should be dropped in this case. 3) The minus sign: \unit{e-3} It's too long. In math mode the correct character is used, but the spacing is messed up. 4) AFAIK there's not yet an interface to change the multiplication sign. \def\digitstimessymbol {\kern.2\emwidth\cdot\kern.2\emwidth} Full example: \starttext \unit{10^3 second} \crlf %% ⇒ 10✕10³ s \unit{10^{-3} second} \crlf %% wrong — sign, too long \math{\unit{10^{-3} second}} \crlf %% wrong spacing \unit{e3 second} \crlf %% ⇒ ✕10³ s \stoptext Marco ¹ http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/070057.html

Hi, Is there a way in ConTeXt to distinguish (or recognise) different characters from different languages, especially distinguishing those used in China, Japan and Korea (CJK) from English. For example, sentence(1) and its translation (sentence (2)) below are mixed English with Chinese characters, as far as I know, Chinese write 排版 as typography. (1) translation: 据我所知，中国人将typography写作排版。 (2) If I input this sentence in the ConTeXt source file, how can I recognise English characters and Chinese characters respectively so that I can insert space (say, 1/4 space) when nesting English words into Chinese (the result of sentence (2) in PDF file will look like this: 据我所知，中国人将 typography 写作排版。) Are there some materials or topics about this?

Layers: corner, location
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 10 Jun '13

Hello, I'm trying to understand meaning of "location" and "corner" keywords of layer definition (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers#My_first_Layer) The goal is to place a logo (here: a \framed) to the top right corner of the page, with vertical and horizontal shift 5 mm into the centre of the page. The working code is: ---- \definelayer [Logo] [location={left,bottom}, x=\paperwidth, y=0mm, hoffset=-5mm, voffset=5mm, ] \setlayer [Logo] {\framed[width=4cm,height=1cm]{LOGO}} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=Logo] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext ---- Although it works, it's a result of many attempts. I don't understand why "location={left,bottom}" is the correct choice although the referential point of the logo is *right-top* corner and I'm placing the logo into the *right-top* corner of the layer (page). I played with "corner=" and "location=" combinations but - it seems the only one which gives the good result is the one above. Could anyone explain this? Thanks in advance.

Handling index entries with many references
by honyk 09 Jun '13

Dear All, in my book I want to place the index (aka register) of places. Some of them are mentioned very often (>10). I want to keep that location in the index, but not to create references to all occurrences. In one old book I've found the following solution for this: in the index there are first three page references listed for that index entry followed by 'and many' phrase. Can something like this be done in the ConTeXt (MkIV)? No interactivity is needed. The PDF output will be used just for printing. \setupregister[index][coupling=yes] is not exactly what I want. Thanks, Jan
