Arabic Characters shown wrong
by "H. Özoguz" 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi there, today I have the following issue: In Arabic there is a character called "Lam-Alif", it is a composition of "Lam" and "Alif", which is displayed usually in another way, than just writing "Lam" and "Alif" after each other in the usual way. See here: ??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet For Arabic I use the font Scheherazade \definefont[Shehkl][name:Scheherazade*arabic at 15pt] \definestartstop[Arab][commands=\setups{Arabic}] \def\Arab{\doArab} \def\Arab[#1]{ \startArab \noindentation \setupalign[r2l]\Shehkl#1 \stopArab } which worked perfect, until today! Now if I write \Arab[??] it is now not shown, like it should (and like your emailer will show it probably correctly, too). For conveniance I opened another, older, document, where the arab worked, and compiled it again, with absolutely no change -> and again, the same bug. What is the problem, what changed in ConText relevant to this problem, if any? Thank you :) Huseyin

22 Jan '13

Hello everyone, I would like to create an output PDF file on which comments can be added by a reader for feedback. I do not know the settings to be applied in context to enable comments/highlighting of a section etc. in the generated PDF file. I am using free Adobe reader 9 on ubuntu presently. I have checked that adding comments works in this adobe reader for PDF files that have this enabled. Regards, Devendra

Referencing a figure
by Devendra Ghate 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

I have written a macro to include figures. I pass the label name and the caption as the two arguments. But when I try to refer to the figure, it shows ??. Surely, my macro does not define the figure label as intended by me. What am I doing wrong? Also, while trying to debug this problem, I tried using *\version[temporary]* to see the labels as suggested in the Context manual (chapter on Cross References (page 207) of cont-ini.pdf). But it didn't show many the label of the figure. MWE: \useMPlibrary[dum] \unprotect \define[2]\dincludefigure{% \placefigure[fig:#1]{#2}{\externalfigure[dummy][width=10cm]}% }% \protect \starttext \dincludefigure{one}{A figure} I am refering to \in{Figure}[fig:one]. \stoptext

Problem with arguments in macro
by PELLOUIN Christophe 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hello, When writing a macro, I observed that some arguments are not transmitted correctly, particularly when the type is defined as "text". Here is an example with the macro max defined in the file plain.mp With this program: beginfig(1) show("first test"); show max (1,2,8,5,15,2,1,4); numeric u_; v_=15; show("second test"); show max (1,2,8,5,v_,2,1,4); numeric u_; u_=15 % u_ variable is also defined in the macro max show("third test"); show max (1,2,8,5,u_,2,1,4); endfig; end The result is: This is MetaPost, version 1.504 (kpathsea version 6.0.1) (mpost.mp (c:/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/metapost/base/plain.mp Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.004)) (./bizzare.mp >> "first test" >> 15 >> "second test" >> 15 >> "third test" >> 8 [1] ) 1 output file written: bizzare.1 Transcript written on bizzare.log. The third result is different because the variable u_ is defined in the macro max of the file plain.mp Christophe Pellouin

Misbehaving flow charts
by Marco Patzer 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hi, I have a few questions regarding flow charts. 1) Setting “offset=none” yields to “Missing number, treated as zero.” 2) “option=test” should display a grid according to the manual, but it doesn't. It only displays the anchors. 3) What does the maxwidth option do? 4) What are the options “x” and “y” for? I'd like to set the width of the cells so that they fit within the text width. Here is my attempt, but there are several issues. \usemodule [chart] \setupFLOWcharts [width=37mm, dx=1cm, offset=-1cm] \showframe \starttext \startFLOWchart [foo] \dorecurse{3}{ \startFLOWcell \location {\recurselevel,1} \expanded{\text {Foo \recurselevel}} \stopFLOWcell} \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart [foo] \stoptext The width is set manually to 37mm, which is ugly and not exact. To get rid of the inter cell space I used a negative offset, which clips the cell frame. How do I 5) set the width of the entire chart to \textwidth, 6) get rid of the left and right cell distance without clipping the frame? Using a table it's simple to set up BTW: \showframe \starttext \bTABLE [width=broad, distance=2cm, align=middle, rulethickness=2pt] \bTR \bTD Foo 1\eTD \bTD Foo 2\eTD \bTD Foo 3\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Marco

mkiv: Charis SIL / SmallCaps
by Zenlima 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hi, I wonder how to make that the font Chris SIL (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=CharisSIL_downl…) displays its Smallcaps. I checked the font with fontforge and it really contains the Smallcaps and also the smcp table. But for whatever reason I cannot get context to show the smallcaps. I tried an example out of this mailing list: \definefontfeature[smallcapitals] [smcp=yes] \definefontfeature[oldstylenumber][onum=yes] %\setupbodyfont[pagella] \setupbodyfont [charissil] \starttext {VA abc \setff{smallcapitals} VA abc} {VA abc \addff{smallcapitals} VA abc} {12345 \setff{oldstylenumber} 12345} {VA {\kap VAabc}} {VA {\cap VAabc}} {VA {\CAP VAabc}} {VA {\sc VAabc}} \stoptext In the above example I only get smallcaps with the \kap and \cap - but then also the big letters are transformed into smallcaps :-(. With pagella is works fine - but not with charissil. What have I to do in order the get the smallcaps to work with context? Thanks, H.

Figure captions in margin
by Devendra Ghate 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

I am using a layout with wide right margin. For floats that are \textwidth wide, I can place captions in the margin using**\setupcaption[location=rightmargin,high/low]. However, for figures that are (*\textwidth+\marginwidth+\margindistance*) wide, I would like to *place the caption in the margin below the figure*. I have tried spacebefore=\vskip but it doesn't seem to do anything. Another option was to use default caption location (below the figure) and add \hspace before figure placement. None of these work as I am not able to make spacebefore do anything. *MWE* \setuplayout[width=5cm, height=13cm,rightmargin=5cm] \setupexternalfigures[option=empty] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] % \setupcaption [figure] [width=5cm, location={rightmargin,low}, spacebefore=big] %\setupcaption %[figure] %[width=5cm] \starttext \showframe \placefigure{A small but important caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=10cm]} \stoptext

t-letter
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi Wolfgang et.al., once again I struggle with your fine letter module. For my job application setup (that worked a year before) I already gave up, but I need my invoices working. Did you recently change anything WRT subject line? It doesn’t show up any more. (Latest ConTeXt MkIV beta in standalone.) This used to work: % Subject and date on the same line, date below logo \defineletterelement[section][subject][fiee]% {\bTABLE[frame=off] \bTR \bTD[width=\dimexpr169mm-\backspace\relax]\correspondenceparameter{subject}\eTD \bTD{\tf\correspondenceparameter{date}}\eTD %\bTD{\tf 2011-11-14}\eTD \eTR \eTABLE} \setuplettersection[subject][alternative=fiee] \startletter[subject={Invoice 1}] ... \stopletter (Yes, this isn’t a working minimal example. Perhaps you can tell me you changed this or that - otherwise I must dig deeper...)

t-filter for LilyPond enhancements
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi Aditya et.al., I'm using t-filter with LilyPond for my songbooklets like this: ----- \def\readPDFfile#1{\externalfigure[#1]} \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter[lilypond] [continue=yes, readcommand=\readPDFfile, directory=lilytemp/, output={\externalfilterbasefile.pdf}, filtercommand={lilypond -dbackend=eps -dinclude-eps-fonts -dno-gs-load-fonts -o"lilytemp/\externalfilterbasefile" "\externalfilterinputfile"}] ----- Now, I'd like my lilypond sections/buffers to have different names than just numbers; I'd prefer some unique IDs or even manually set names to be able to re-order them without the need of re-compiling. I.e. if I change the order of songs in my songbook, all LilyPond snippets must get recalculated, even if they didn’t change. Sorry if that’s mentioned in t-filter’s docs - I didn’t see it. There are some more enhancements that I’d like to implement, e.g. checking the resulting files if there are several pages or using single notelines to let ConTeXt do the page breaking (like lilypond-book does with LaTeX). I guess that would be as simple as replacing my \readPDFfile with some Lua code - can you give me a hint how to do that?

What was the latest version working with win2k? Eeeeem. Honestly, I don't know which version was the last one. You are the first one complaining about Windows 2000, but if ConTeXt Minimals worked for you until recently then probably LuaTeX 0.72.0 was the last one that worked. Taco keeps an archive of windows binaries on http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/frs/ (click on package name to get the list of older releases) but they were compiled on a different compiler, so you need to check yourself whether they work for you or not. In case not, my best bet for downloading it would be fetching luatex.dll from an arbitrary commit from http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/win32/ Most probably the latest binary is still 0.72.0 in which case you can also fetch it from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/luatex.win32.tar.xz (I'm also working on an archive of W32TeX binaries, but it's not there yet.)

Mixing Body and Math Fonts

I would like to, however, now mix these so that I can use Lucida for my math and Myriad Pro everywhere else. What is the best way to accomplish this? Thanks, Troy Henderson

setupformulas reset not working
by Zenlima 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, In my work I have standalone formulas and formulas inside a paragraph (see idea of module pararef). For standalone formulas the default settings are ok. But for the formuals inside the paragraphs I need to change the afer- and beforespaces. So I have to change the spaces before and after a formula often. Unlucky \startformula[spacebefore=...,spaceafter=...] is not working. So I try to achieve it via the "big" setup function: \setupformulas[spacebefore=...,spaceafter=...] - not nice but it works (except that "strange" space \formulaparameter). But now after that paragraph I want to reset the spaces of setupformulas. In the file strc-math.mkiv says that the spaces are defined like this: ... c!spacebefore=\v!big, \c!spaceafter=\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore, ... So I tried after \stopformula to reset the spaces with: \setupformulas[spacebefore=\v!big,spaceafter=\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore] and \setupformulas[spacebefore=\big,spaceafter=\formulaparameter\spacebefore] but both failed. Is there any possibility to reset the spaces of setupformulas? And what kind of space is \formulaparameter? H.

Bug in label and setuphead
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, (This is based on a question on tex.se: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/94170/323) If a new head is defined based on an existing head, it still uses the label of the previous head. \definehead[whatever][chapter] \setuplabeltext[en][whatever=Whatever~] \setuplabeltext[en][chapter=Chapter~] \starttext \whatever{Animals} \chapter{Plants} \stoptext Uses the label Chapter for both heads. This is because the .tuc file contains label=chapter for both elements. utilitydata_structures_lists.collected={ { ["metadata"]=1, ["numberdata"]=3, ["references"]={ ["block"]="bodypart", ["internal"]=1, ["realpage"]=1, ["section"]=1, }, ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="chapter", ["title"]="Animals", }, }, { ["metadata"]=4, ["numberdata"]=6, ["references"]={ ["block"]="bodypart", ["internal"]=2, ["realpage"]=2, ["section"]=2, }, ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="chapter", ["title"]="Plants", }, }, } Adding \setuphead[whatever][label=whatever] does not change anything. This looks like a bug to me. Otherwise, what is the right way of changing the label of a section head? Aditya
