TeX Live 2013 --- until when can we work on the man pages?
by Sietse Brouwer 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hello all, I didn't get around to working on the man pages these past 2 weeks. Now, I just saw this timing plan on the TeX Live website: http://www.tug.org/texlive/ March 27: sources committed, builds begin. April 8: tlnet (and TL'12) frozen, tlpretest starts, CTAN updates continue there. May 20: complete freeze for final build, no more updates, final doc tweaks, always more testing. Does this mean any improvements to the man pages should be in on April 8; or that you want them May 20; or has the deadline already passed and are any improvements due next year? Mojca, perhaps you know this? Cheers, Sietse

Setupparagraphnumbering
by Diego Depaoli 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi all, since I got the same issue reported in that unanswered question http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/064172.html, before switch from the 0.70 version installed by default in Ubuntu to another one, is the \setupparagraphnumbering command supposed to work well now? My best regards -- Diego Depaoli

mathcases look different in mathalign and formula
by Tobias Columbus 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi all, While playing with \startmathcases, I discovered some strange (maybe wanted?) behaviour of \startmathcases and \stopmathcases: - The interline spacing in mathcases is different depending on whether the mathcases are used in a mathalignment or a formula environment. - Lucida OpenType math has some nice curly brace that is also used in cases environments. However, if \startmathcases, \stopmathcases is used in some mathalignment environment and the cases contain subscripts, the curly brace disappears and some "straight" brace is used instead. - When using superscripts instead of subscripts, the curly brace reappears but the cases look like not vertically centered in both formula and mathalignment environments. I produced an example demonstrating the above observations. In my opinion, the disappearing curly brace is worst of all of them since one frequently has formulas both with and without subscripts on the same page and different braces are quite easily spotted.

typescript Adobe Blank

Hi all, recently Adobe open sourced another font [1] [2]. It’s primarily intended for use as WOFF but has some interesting properties nevertheless (like covering *every* unicode code point).

Problem with getmarking and setupheadertexts

Visualcounter: style parameter not working as expected

Hi all, I'm actually using the visualcounter module for a presentation and I can't modify the style of the page number inside the countdown counter.

Unusual error in Math mode

Hello Everyone, \starttext $ E [ w ] = 1 $ \stoptext produces Eaw]=1 using my context (current version: 2013.03.29 01:03). Needless to say that the MWE works as expected on the Context live @ contextgarden. I have no clue as to how to go about debugging the problem. So did a fresh install in a different directory but still get exactly the same result. I will be grateful for any suggestions on how to identify the problem in my context installation. -- Cheers, Devendra

start page numbering in MKIV
by john Culleton 02 Apr '13

The command \setuppagenumber[number=3,state=start] seems not to work under MKIV. Here is the sequence: \setuppagenumber[number=3,state=start] \completecontent \chapter[Introduction} but Chapter 1 Introduction is shown in the TOC with page 3. It should be page 5 since the TOC starts on physical page 3 and there is one blank page in between. -- John Culleton Wexford Press -- 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

eliminate blank page.

OK I am trying to be a good boy and use \component instead of \input in MKIV but my problem persists. I have a file called title.tex which should be followed on the next page (title verso) by the file copy.tex. but a blank page occurs between the two.

error calling font.getfont() on certain fonts
by Philipp Gesang 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi all, I get an error when I run this code: \ctxlua{font.getfont( font.current() )} (Complete example below.) Oddly, whether or not this fails depends on the font. The issue does occur with both today’s beta and Tex Live. The error message is error: .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/node-inj.lua:97: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'factor' (a nil value) At the same time, in Plain the equivalent code works fine for all fonts. Bug or feature?

Different Horizontal Lines with Tabulate
by Malte Stien 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hello, I have a table in which I have to group a number of rows together. Let's say I have a table with two columns, the first is an item ID and the second a multi-line description for that item. Say I have ten items in the table and I need to group Item 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 and so on. Due to the description being quite lengthy in some cases, I would like to use some sort of horizontal rule between items. It seems I have to following options: 1. Using horizontal rules of two different thicknesses (eg. thicker between groups and thinner between items within the same group) 2. Using horizontal rules of two different colour (eg. black between groups and a light grey between items within the same group) 3. Using horizontal rules of different lengths (that is, full length between groups and only in the second column between items within the same group) Are any of the above possible with tabulate? I could not find anything to achieve any of those. I am quite used to tabulate as my table framework, so I would prefer to use that. If that's not possible however, I'd be happy to use something else. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte.

A thinner hrule for headers

Hello everyone, I'd like to know if it is possible to get a thinner hrule in headers (mkiv). Right now I am using \setupheader[after=\hrule] replacing hrule with thinrule or hairline results in space below the header text and the line, and the line actually spans two lines. How can I control the thickness of the line, I remember having read something about using frames, but I can't find the post anymore. Thanks in advance, and regards, Thomas

Hi, The uploaded beta has marco's ugs fixed (minus one) plus some (less important) pending issues in test files. The main change is that the root setup commands of enumerations, notes, formulas, floats, etc can now be used to set up the counters (was only possible by explicit setups e.g. per float).

\startpagefigure[]\stoppagefigure enlarges page by 1 mm
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hello, \startpagefigure[...] ... \stoppagefigure enlarges page by 1 mm in both directions. This is an undesired effect as when the printer has auto-select-page mode on (which is useful when printing a document with mixed A4 and A3 pages) and an A4 page (210 x 297 mm) is enlarged to 211 x 298, the printer doesn't (auto)choose A4 but a nearest BIGGER page (8.5 x 13 in page in my case). Try the code: ---- t.mkiv \starttext \startpagefigure[A4.pdf]\stoppagefigure \stoptext ---- Is that a wanted behavior? How to avoid enlarging the inserted page? TIA.

Hi Hans, > maybe after the current is made (which happens sometime within the > next two weeks) > > best make sure that we have no serious bugs (experimental features apart) I think it's better to start a new thread for this issue. I maintain a small list of bugs and quirks which I would like to share. I don't know if the issues are considered bugs or not.
