seeindex: no indent (random pattern?)
by Andreas Mang 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi there, I have a problem with my index. There randomly (at least I do not see a pattern) is a missing indent in front of the words referenced by seeindex. Unfortunatelly, I cannot reproduce this nor do I see any pattern, as for why this problem exists. Is someone having the same issue, and if so, could this person point me to the reason so that I / someone can do something about it?! Minimal WORKING(!!!! - i.e. gives the desired output; it's there to explain my problem) example below. Cheers, Andreas I know that I am not supposed to ask questions like this, but this bothers me for quite a while now. I thought that I will discover the problem (a pattern) at some point, but I give up. %%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \index{IBVP} \seeindex{Initial Boundary Value Problem}{IBVP} \placeindex \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% I would expect: Initial Boundary Value Problem [ ]see IBVP where "[ ]" represents the indent. However, at some places in my index I get: Initial Boundary Value Problem see IBVP

\margintext overflows in bottom margin
by Devendra Ghate 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

I am using*\margintext* for comments in the margin. When a comment falls on the last line of a page, I have to manually add *\setupmargintext[voffset=-2em] *everytime to stop it from flowing into bottom margin. Is there a way to automatically offset margin text to stop it from flowing into bottom margin. I took a look at *typo-mar.mkiv* to see if an option exists to correct this without any success. *MWE* \setuplayout[height=6cm,width=5cm,rightmargin=5cm] \unprotect % setup the side notes \setupmargindata [margintext] [location=outer, width=4.5cm, align=flushleft, stack=yes] \starttext \showframe A \crlf A\crlf A\crlf %\setupmargindata[margintext][voffset=-2em] A\margintext{A margin text.A margin text.A margin text.A margin text.} \stoptext Devendra

Vim module - different settings for inline and block code
by Marco Patzer 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hi, I need different settings for code in inline and block mode. See the following example: \usemodule [vim] \definetextbackground [C] [location=text] \definevimtyping [C] [syntax=c, before={\starttextbackground[C]}, after=\stoptextbackground, margin=2em] \starttext This is C: \inlineC{int foo();}. \blank \startC int foo(){ return 0; } \stopC \stoptext Inline code needs “location=text”, block code on the other hand needs “location=paragraph” as text background setting. Sure, I can create two environments “Cinline” and “Cblock”, but that feels clumsy. What's the proper way to set up different backgrounds for inline and block code? Marco

Layer vs. overlay
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello, I need to add a text to the FOREGROUND of the page. - Layers can refer to a page (or its size) and elements in a layer are drawn BELLOW the (normal) page content. - Overlays are drawn ABOVE the (normal) page content and their size is given by an element (often \framed) which uses the overlay. So - I'd need a layer which would overlay the normal page content (like "foreground" or "topmost" layer) or an overlay which would refer to (= its size and position would depend on) the (current) page (instead of e.g. \framed); it should be a somewhat combination of layers & overlays. How to achieve this in ConTeXt? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

getnameinfo
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

I have to update LuaTex on a win2k machine. But I get two errors while running mtxrun.exe and texlua.exe resp. via first- setup.bat. There is a call to getnameinfo in WS2_32.dll which is available in winxp and above. Here is an info from ms how to deal with this: "The getnameinfo function was added to the Ws2_32.dll on Windows XP and later. If you want to execute an application using this function on earlier versions of Windows (Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows Me/98/95), then you need to include the Ws2tcpip.h file and also include the Wspiapi.h file. When the Wspiapi.h include file is added, the getnameinfo function is defined to the WspiapiGetNameInfo inline function in the Wspiapi.h file. At runtime, the WspiapiGetNameInfo function is implemented in such a way that if the Ws2_32.dll or the Wship6.dll (the file containing getnameinfo in the IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000) does not include getnameinfo, then a version of getnameinfo is implemented inline based on code in the Wspiapi.h header file. This inline code will be used on older Windows platforms that do not natively support the getnameinfo function." Hope this can be done. Wolfgang

Lettrine not Working as Expected
by Malte Stien 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello everyone, I have been trying the lettrine module and have come across some unexpected behaviour. I have been following the documentation found here http://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/t-lettrine/doc/context/third/lettrine/l… and have proceeded to make a minimal example: \usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \lettrine[Lines=3]{T}{his is a test} \input knuth \stoptext Unfortunately the output is not quite what (I think) it should be. It appears that the first line is rendered as expected, but that it is followed by a vertical gap---an extraordinary line spacing if you will---that places the second line all the way beneath the 'T', where the forth line would be expected. However, the second and third line are indented the way you would expect, they are just two lines further down as they should. As this may be hard to express, I have attached a small PDF with the result of the above code. Thank you, Malte.

buffers (append)

Hello, In addition to \startbuffer \stopbuffer it would be nice to have \startappendbuffer \stopappendbuffer. I see that the lua function buffer.append() exists but I have not worked-out how to add this functionality cleanly as conTeXt macros. I imagine that this might be quite trivial for our TeX programming experts... (for once, a [useful?] suggestion that in the end will not entail many hours of work? :) Alan

Deactivating Grid-Setting for titles
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi there, I am setting with grids. Now in classical typographie not all text-elements have to be grid-setted, f.e. titles not. How to deactivate gridsetting for titles? This is relevant, because titles and the distances between a title and the before and the after text ist very important for text-aesthetics. F.e. if I have ++++++++++ Paragraph \section{Blub} \seubsection{blub1} Nextparagraph ++++++++++ I want to deactivate grid-setting after the first paragraph and want to activate it with the beginning of the next. How to do that? Best regards Huseyin

Problems with contextual kerning
by Georg Duffner 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hello, In EB Garamond I’ve implemented decomposition for all composed glyphs. For uppercase greek I had to use contextual kerning rules: accents like grave or acute and aspiration marks are placed left of the letter, so the glyph has to be placed more to the right and its advance increased. The code in the feature file looks like this: pos [ Epsilon Eta Iota Rho ]' <79 0 79 0> @grk_tlAcc1; Iota adscriptum needs extra space on the right of the base glyph, so there are position rules for that too: pos Eta' <0 0 200 0> uni0345.cap1; and pos Eta' <79 0 279 0> uni0345.cap1 @grk_tlAcc1; Context (and LuaLaTeX too) doesn’t do the positioning correctly. I’ve prepared a minimal example of uppercase etas. The first row without decomposition, the second decomposed, the third with alternate uni0345.cap1 (iota adscriptum). The first two should look exactly the same: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[ebgaramond] \definefontfeature[decomp][ss20=yes] \definefontfeature[iota1][ss20=yes,cv81=1] \starttext ἨἩἪἫἬἭἮἯᾘᾙᾚᾛᾜᾝᾞᾟῌ \par \addff{decomp}ἨἩἪἫἬἭἮἯᾘᾙᾚᾛᾜᾝᾞᾟῌ \par \addff{iota1}ἨἩἪἫἬἭἮἯᾘᾙᾚᾛᾜᾝᾞᾟῌ \par \stoptext I use ss20 for full decomposition because it should be selected by the user explicitly only when needed, while ccmp should be enabled by default. The attached ctx_test.pdf shows its output. The font used can be downloaded at http://georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/fonts/EBGaramond12-Regular.otf. For comparison, there’s a test page at http://georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/etatests.html – current Firefox and Chromium show what is expected. There’s a second testfile at https://github.com/georgd/EB-Garamond/blob/master/tests/context_greektests.… with the complete Unicode block of greek polyphonic characters, its pdf output is attached to this mail too, a comparison html page is at http://georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/greektests.html Best regards, Georg

index: distinguish entries by pagestyle

Hi there, I got a question considering the registers. I'd like to distinguish between the definition of some term and its appearance/use somewhere else (boldface vs. normal font of page number for instance). The garden provides a solution, which does not seem to work for me: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupregister[index][nb][pagestyle=bold] \starttext My \index[nb::dog]{dog}dog is a cat\index{cat}. \placeindex \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% (modified from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers) What I'd like to have is, that dog appears with a bold page number and that cat doesn't.

Bibliography in authornum format

14 Jan '13

I am using ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.10 01:04 MKIV and here is the MWE. I would like to create numbered bibliography with *Author name [1]* format. If multiple authors are present then it should produce *Author /et al./ [1]*. This does not happen. Instead I get *Author, [1]*. Since I am new to ConTeXt, I might be making a basic mistake. Devendra --------------- \setupbibtex[database={bib}] % As suggested by Aditya on TEX SX. \setuppublications[alternative=num, refcommand=authornum] \starttext I am refering to \cite{me13} . \placepublications[criterium=text] \stoptext ---------------- bib.bib ---------------- @article{me13, title = {This bibliography in context}, author = {Convert, Recent and User, Power and Fiddler, Amateur}, journal = {Tex SX}, volume = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {1-11}, year = {2013}, } ---------------

Any ConTeXt-Lua changes

Hi, I wrote Lua routines a while back that parse a string representation of a weekly schedule to create a table representation of the schedule. It worked last fall. Certainly in August, 2012 and I think at least as late October. I just tried it again, but it failed; and it failed on the same file it worked on before. Before I roll up my sleeves and starting digging through the code, I was wondering if something had changed in the last two or three months that I should know about. No MWE for you, but here's the ConTeXt command that sends an ID (#1) and a parameters (#2) to Lua \def\defineschedule{\dodoubleempty\dodefineschedule} \def\dodefineschedule[#1][#2]{\ctxlua{userdata.schedule.new("#1","#2")}} Thanks for any tips, Michael ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Hi, once again, thank you very much for your help. @Hans > Most of those presentation styles were used at tex user group meetings and in those cases I often use new (or experimental) functionality, i.e. hooking in extentions and such; in the transition from mkii to mkiv some of the hacks needed in traditional tex are gone but then I need to check all those styles too and I don't use them that often. Thanks, now I understand the experimental nature of these modules. > The benefits of mkiv over mkii compensate the occasional issue. Also, issues are often fixed quite fast and as we have a perfect update structure running on the garden problems never stay long. I (and probably others) use mkiv in (often unattended) production runs so it's on the average pretty useable. I haven't used mkii for years. Great, so this would be be an argument for me to use mkiv as well. And the very fast and helpful comments here in the Forum are very convincing. Thanks > I have no clue what Scrivener is. Sorry, I forget to mention. Scrivener is a very nice editor which mainly supports the creative part of writing and the organisation of additional material. The reason I mentioned it here is that it can export the text in a large variety of formats including LaTeX. But the question about how it might cooperate with Context might be better suited to the Scrivener Forum... ;-). @Sietse thanks you very much for your clarifications. These explanations are very helpful! > So if it's stability you worry about, you have three options: > * Use Mark II, solid as a rock. > * Follow the stable Mark IVs. > * Take a bleeding-edge beta and don't update it. Thanks. I see, there are different options (which is always good...) Best wishes Thomas

Controlling Appearance of \inoutermargin
by Malte Stien 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Hi, I have just changed one of my documents from single-page to double-page to be printed as a book. I have some margin remarks, that used to be on the left which I am now trying to move to the outer margin on odd and even pages (that is, left on even, right on odd pages). In doing so, I had to modify all of my \inmargin's to \inoutermargins (Please pull me up on this if this is not a good way of doing this; I found this in some forum, there does not seem to be a Wiki page about this command). As it turns out, I am no longer able to control the appearance of these \inoutermargins using my \setupinmargin command. I have been playing with different options, like \setupinmargin[outer][style=\slx, color=darkgray, stack=yes] or \setupinoutermargin[style=\slx, color=darkgray, stack=yes] but cannot get it to work. Is there any documentation about the \inoutermargins command? Any hints? Thank you, Malte.
