Layer for all pages and for specific pages
by "H. Özoguz" 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi, I use a vertical line (realized as a layer) for a bilingual project. My question is: 1. How can I set this line on all pages? 2. How can I control, on which pages it is set, and on which not? I tried it with state=start/stop/repeat, but that did not work. Here my try: \definelayer[mybg] [x=0mm, y=0mm, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayer[mybg] [hoffset=10cm, voffset=4cm] {\blackrule[width=1pt, height=\vsize, depth=0.5ex]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybg] \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \starttext \input knuth \page \input knuth \stoptext Thanks for help.

Any ideas, where this bug comes from? Seems weird, that it affects only one sinlg lettercombination, in other programms this do not occur. Thanks. Huseyin

[***SPAM***] heading in margin -> strange extra vertical spaces
by Zenlima 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi, I want to display the lowest heading in the outer margin. But as soon the simple text becomes a heading, a strange extra line appears on top of the margin. In my minimum example below the first paragraph shows how it should look like in the pdf-file; the second paragraph is with a heading in the margin. Can anyone tell me, a) how to get rid of the unwanted extra vertical space? b) Why is the line-break in the margin of the second paragraph different than above? Thanks, H. ------8<--------------------------------------- \definesection[section-8] \definehead[myheader][][number=no,before=,style=\bf,aligntitle=yes,section=section-8] \starttext \inouter{Hasselt makes headlines} \input tufte \inouter{\myheader{Hasselt makes headlines}} \input tufte \stoptext

Alternative rendering of some TOC levels
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hello, how to change the way ("alternative") how a particular level - e.g. sections - are rendered in TOC? I tried: ---- \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=c] \setuplist [section] [alternative=b] %\setupcombinedlist % [content] % [section] % [alternative=b] \starttext \placecontent \chapter{Ch} \section{Sec} \subsection{SSec} \input knuth \stoptext ---- This should change the "alternative" for section to be "b" (i.e. page numbers without filling dots), whilst the default look should be "alternative" "c" (i.e. dots and page numbers). But my code doesn't produce the desired result - all TOC members are using "alternative" "c". What is the true way to achieve it? TIA. Best regads, Lukas -- Ing.

Blank page when using natural table.
by john Culleton 04 May '13

04 May '13

this is an annoyance rather than a deal breaker, but why does this file generate a blank page numbered one and then the table? --------------------------------- \setuppapersize[letter] \setuplayout{margin=0.5in,topspace=0.5in} \starttext \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] \bTABLE \setupTABLE[frame=on] \bTR \bTD foo \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ---------------------------------------------- I tried it with [doublesided=yes] and no parameter at all. Same results. First a blank page numbered 1, then the table on the second page. -- 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

fontloader: “can't convert <float> into tounicode”

04 May '13

Hi, loading this font: https://collab.itc.virginia.edu/access/content/group/26a34146-33a6-48ce-001… causes the fontloader to emit a dozen or so messages of the kind fonts > loading > can't convert 7.27550912993e+22 into tounicode fonts > loading > can't convert 3.1248073774797e+32 into tounicode fonts > loading > can't convert 4.731809353839e+27 into tounicode ... example code: \starttext foo {\definedfont[file:TibMachUni-1.901b.ttf*tibetan at 33pt]༡༢་༣༤་༥༦་༧༨} bar \stoptext is this harmless? The typeset result appears to be satisfying. Best regards, Philipp

\placepublications with criterium=chapter
by Enrique Jiménez Gallego 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi, I am porting a book from mkii to mkiv and I have found an issue with the bibliography module. As Alan Braslau pointed out on 23 Mar, using \placepublications [criterium=chapter] at the end of each chapter does not show a cited reference if the reference is cited in an earlier chapter. This may be a bug. Indeed, in mkii the reference was printed. Is there any way in mkiv to "reset" the references at the end of each chapter to fix the issue? Minimal example (sample.bib in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib/): \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \setuppublications[alternative=num,criterium=chapter] \starttext \chapter{One} Some text.\cite[hh2010a] \subject{References} \placepublications[criterium=chapter] \chapter{Two} Another text.\cite[hh2010a] \subject{References} \placepublications[criterium=chapter] \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Automatic replacement?

Thanks luigi, but it does not work for my characters, see here: \definefont[tradoa][name:trado*arabic at 20pt] % or file:amiri-regular.ttf*... file:alq.ttf \directlua{ local function replace_txt (buffer) buffer=string.gsub(buffer,"اللهِ","اللَّـه") return buffer end callback.register("process_input_buffer",replace_txt) } \starttext my text {\setupalign[r2l] \tradoa اللَّـه} \stoptext "trado" ist just the font "traditional arabic", nearly every system have it, so you should be able to compile this. It does not replace the character. Huseyin

Best Practise!?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi ConTeXt User's, I'm currently considering a new project, but wondering whether I'd choose for a MkII or MkIV basis? I've been using MkIV for some time now, but have the impression that it is less well documented than the MkII setup. Please correct me when I'm wrong here! Okay, the help of this mailing list and of course http://wiki.contextgarden.net solved most of the problems I encountered. However the mailing list dependency makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Maybe that's the way it works, because the development is very dynamic! Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Regards, Verhaag, G.C.H.M.

problems with the invoice module from contextgarden

Hi guys, today I tried to use the invoice module from contextgarden http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Invoice first it spit errors about userdata.numberformat in combination with %, after commenting it out and not using it, I now get that error: ) (invoicefunctions.tex !

Arabic typesetting, one more
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi there, I have the following example with the font "traditional arabic", but the question is possibly independent from the font. The code: \definefont[Shehw][name:traditionalarabicnormal*arabic at 24pt] % or file:amiri-regular.ttf*... file:alq.ttf \def\Arab[#1]{\noindentation \setupalign[r2l]\Shehw#1} \starttext \Arab[ اللَّـهِ ]\blank \Arab[ اللهِ ] \stoptext (The lower one is the correct symbol, the upper one not.) If you can't compile, look at the attachment. The upper one has the typographical correct symbol under it (below left, "kassra", looks like a slanted hyphen). This kassra has a nice distant from the word "Allah". But the lower example, the correct "Allah", has a far too big distant from its kassra. Why? This does not happen e.g. in CorelDraw, where the distant is nice in both examples. Huseyin

> Do minipages support page breaks? And floats? > > Did you try this: > http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/068387.html ? No, they do not, but this was ok for that bilingual project. No, I did not try this solution, and to be honest: I hope not to have, because it seems too complicated for me to implement it. I usually only work with .tex files in ConText, nothing more. But maybe, if there is no other way, I have to come back to that. Thanks for the info. Huseyin

One thing to add: In LaTex I realized this with minipages: \newcommand{\kum}[2]{ \begin{minipage}[t]{0.445\textwidth} \small #1 \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.05\textwidth} ~ \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.445\textwidth} \begin{arab}[voc] \raggedleft #2 \end{arab} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.06\textwidth} ~ \end{minipage} } This sets very well the german and the arabic text, with different interlinespaces. Is there a possibility to copy this into ConText? Huseyin

How to adjust the TABLE-frame to zero, I mean the thickness of the frame-lines, such that they are invisible. And btw.: Where can I find a good docu of natural tables? (I know the wiki page "TABLE" of course). Huseyin

Maybe the minipages/frames are really the only possibility, so that I have to resign page-breaking, sad, but if this is the only way... Because without different line-interspaces the arabic text is definitely not well readable. Now I tried it with frames; this is my try (from the wiki): \starttext \startcombination[2*1] {\framed [width=4cm, align={flushleft}] {\input ward }} {\framed [width=4cm, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] % maybe also stretch {\tfb \input ward }} \stopcombination \stoptext But it seems to not matter, if I write 2*1 or 1*2, in both cases the frames are set one below the other, and not side by side (what I want). Why? Huseyin

Re: [NTG-context] Table
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

03 May '13

Thanks Wolfgang! But now I see a different issue arising: The left and the right column are set on the same lines (like grid-setting, not the same). I mean, that the text in the left column is set on the same lines, like the text in the right columns. Usually that is good, but not for my purpose, because arabic is very different, has long letters. So for the arabic text the interlinespace should be bigger, than for the german text. Is that possible with a table? An example: \starttext \starttabulate[|lp|rp|] \NC \input knuth \NC \dorecurse{20}{\tfc Blub} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext And this exactly, what happens with arabic. The only other possibility would be to set the arabic font very small, but that would be not very well readable. Huseyin.

Table
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi, for a bilingual book (german-arabic) I want to use a table. So far I have this one: \starttabulate[||p(.46\textwidth)|p(.46\textwidth)||] But that is not exactly, what I want: I want a table with 3 columns. The left one ist left-aligned, for the german text (left-algined in the usual sence, I understood that these terms are opposite in context?), the middle one is empty (just to control the space between the to text-columns), and the right columns, arabic, is right aligned. I want to control all three by something like ".46\textwidth", and no indentation (like the above result, left column is indented). How to achieve this (simple) table? My tries did not work so far.

Text streams
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hello there, some motnh ago I asked for a possibility to set a book in Context bilingual (with a left and a right column on every page). This environment should allow of course page breaking etc. I got this answer (by Philipp Gesang): > What you are looking for is text streams. They are not yet fully > functional in mkiv. But as long as you need the streams to appear > as columns on the same page, as seems to be the case, there is a > cheap workaround using the *tabulate* environment (see below). So my question: Are text streams now available in MKIV? Thanks. Huseyin
