drops module (draft)
by Peter Rolf 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Hi all, a first version of the 'drops'-module (MkIV only) is available at https://www.wuala.com/indiego/public/ConTeXt/drops/?key=caiCGLasLFmJ Taken from the included documentation.. [..] 'drops' is a small extension for ConTeXt, that allows you to add drop shadows to rectangular regions (so called boxshadows). A working installation of ImageMagick (IM) is required to create the shadow graphics. The supported color spaces are CMYK, RGB and Gray, the file formats are limited to PNG and JPG. [..] Read the manual for detailed information. The attached example is just a small test file for the 'rotation' parameter (a compensation for the object rotation, so that the shadow stays at the given direction). You will find other examples in the documentation and there is also a 'pile' example with the complete source. The 'presets' pdf contains the predefined setups for different shadow (or frame) types and it's source is a good starting point for your own experiments. This is a first draft, but most things work quite stable. If you want to help, test as much as possible. :-) *You need a recent version of ImageMagick for this module.* 6.7.8-2 to 6.8.0-7 (wrong version info 6.8.0-6): used here, should work 6.7.6-0 or lower: will fail due to incompatibilities 7.0.0.0 alpha: untested ('magick' is used instead of 'convert') Tested on Windows7 64bit and Debian 6.0.5-i386 (IM compiled from source) Happy TeXing!

margin location in headertext
by reviczky＠caesar.elte.hu 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Hi, Is it possible, without having to use layers, to specify the location of a frame inside the margin of the header relative to the headertext? Here's an example: --- \setupheadertexts[\setups{frames}][][][] \setupheadertexts[margin][\setups{marginframe}][][][] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \startsetups[frames] \framed[height=15mm,location=top]{frame at the top} \framed[location=top]{frame at the top} \stopsetups \startsetups[marginframe] %%% how to align this at the top? \framed[location=top]{frame not at the top?} %%% \stopsetups \showframe \starttext \input knuth \stoptext --- The workaround I'm currently using is to enlarge the height of the margin-frame to the highest one inside the header. --- \framed[location=top,height=15mm,align=top]{frame not at the top?} --- Adam

Cumulating Numbered Lists
by Malte Stien 07 Dec '12

Hi all, I can easily \setupitemgroup to achieve the following: 1. ... a. ... 1. ... b. ... 1. ... 2. ... 2. ... a. ... 1. ... …but I need the numbers/letters to cumulate as follows: 1. ... 1a. ... 1a1. ... 1b. ... 1b1. ... 1b2. ... 2. ... 2a. ... 2a1. ... Can that be done? Thank you, Malte.

In response to Hans Hagen and Wolfgang Schuster's messages of Dec. 5, Just to let you know, in response to your messages, I am working a small, self-contained example that reproduces the problem. However I have been asked to focus on a different project for a few days, so ... please don't interpret my silence as "We asked him to do due diligence and he never answered." :-) Hopefully I'll be back with more, next week.

Q about hangaround commands
by Vladimir Lomov 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi. I'm trying to figure out the limitation of \start/stophangaround commands. 1. Is it correct that currently the figure could be placed only on left? If so is it easy to extend the command to allow placing figure at right side? 2. Is there way to increase/decrease the space between the text and image? 3. Is it correct that hangaround command is tricky hack that change normal flow? I prepare simple example (it is attached). 1) is obvious from the example (default behavior I assume). 3): I got the '2.' not on left side as 1) and 3) but on left side of text block right after image. Another example if 3): if I put empty line between \starthangaround and \input (see the file) then there would be mess. P.S. I tried the example with MkIV only. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov

On http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/define it says that \define is like the TeX primitive \def, but "will print an error to the log file if the new definition overwrites an existing command". I checked the log file, and there is no error mentioning XLfontsize. So the purpose of your suggestion is to remove the possibility of reporting a duplicate definition? (There's probably more to it than that - I'm just trying to understand.) I tried changing \define to \def as you suggested. The result was unchanged - same error. Regards, Lars

(XeTeX) trouble debugging a "Missing number" error
by Lars Huttar 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi all, I'm working with some code that was developed by someone else. The document I'm typesetting is now giving the following error: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> \otr:1:27 \OTRSETdoifcellelse ...er #1:\number #2\endcsname \@EA \secondoftwoarguments... \@@ar@@1 ...ellelse {\mofcolumns }\columnlastcell {\global \advance \columnl... \redoloop ->\expandrecursecontent \endofloop <to be read again> { <inserted text> 28 ... l.12 \startabblist { ? I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong or how to fix it. I had just made changes to refactor the definitions of fonts. (I confirmed that these changes really are a necessary cause of the error: when I back out just these changes, the error goes away.) >From the above error message I understand the error was detected during the expansion of \startabblist. Here's the definition of abblist: % Abbreviations \definestartstop [abblist] [before={\setupbackgrounds[text][background=verticalline] \starttextbackground[text] \setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[SansB,\SansBsize]},width=20mm,location=left] \startcolumnset[abbcolumn] \startalignment[flushleft,nothyphenated]}, after={\stopalignment \stopcolumnset \stoptextbackground \setupbackgrounds[text][background=off]}] >From that, one might guess that the font SansB or the font dimension \SansBsize were the problem. But those definitions haven't changed (though I would like to confirm that empirically with a run-time trace message). Here are the font settings changes that did occur: E16fonts.tex: changed this block: \definefont[SerifXLI][name:GentiumBookBasic-Italic at 10pt] \definefont[SerifXXL][name:GentiumBookBasic at 12pt] \definefont[SerifXXLB][name:GentiumBookBasic-Bold at 12pt] to use size dimensions defined elsewhere: \definefont[SerifXLI][name:GentiumBookBasic-Italic at \XLfontsize] \definefont[SerifXXL][name:GentiumBookBasic at \XXLfontsize] \definefont[SerifXXLB][name:GentiumBookBasic-Bold at \XXLfontsize] E16settings.tex: I added these definitions: \define\XLfontsize{14pt} \define\XXLfontsize{16pt} There are modes involved, so things are a bit more complicated, but I believe that is the only effective difference. I also created a log file, which I'll attach. There is also a version with \tracingmacros=1, but it's 600K, so I'll put it at http://www.huttar.net/tmp/country-report-country_id-15-tracing.log Thanks for taking a look. Please let me know what further information I need to provide. I can provide the .tex files themselves upon request. I would especially like to know better techniques for debugging -- how I can induce TeX/ConTeXt to tell me more about what's going on. I realize that as a macro language, this is inherently difficult with TeX. We are heavily invested in XeTeX, so switching to LuaTeX in the near term is not an option.

Place figure here; jumping over sections

04 Dec '12

Hi, How to specify that I prefer to place figure "here" in the following code? \startplacefigure \externalfigure[settings_window.png][scale=1000] \stopplacefigure I don't understand, why figures are encouraged to jump across sections and subsections? It makes no sense. Is there a way to prohibit this (e.g., flush all figures at section end, possibly for the cost of white space at page bottom)? At least I could see where problems are, instead of keeping an eye whether figures still belong to their sections. Regards, Vyactheslav

Copy pages with keeping original page sizes
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, this is just an announcement and maybe a proposal. I needed to copy all pages from a .pdf file into the document. The pages to be copied were a mix of A4 and A3 pages, with portrait and landscape orientation. Also, I needed to suppress current header & footer and to use the whole page area, like with \setuplayout[page]. I tried various combination of \filterpages, \copypages and \externalfigure - nothing the the whole desired effect. Finally, I created the following snippet: ---- \startluacode function copyPages(fn) local fig = figures.push{name = fn} figures.identify() figures.check() local n = fig.used.pages figures.pop() for i = 1, n do context.startTEXpage() context.externalfigure({fn}, {page = i}) context.stopTEXpage() end end \stopluacode \starttext %\externalfigure[tt.pdf][page=3] \directlua{copyPages("tt.pdf")} \stoptext ---- It seems to work; but it might be better to add an option to an existing command, e.g. \copypages (e.g. "preservecurrentpagesize" and/or "autosize" and/or "fullpage") to achieve the same effect.

Including movies in pdf files
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I was updating the wiki entry on \externalfigures (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure) and noticed that I cannot get ConTeXt to include a movie. I tried the following \starttext \externalfigure[clip.mov] \stoptext (where clip.mov is a quicktime movie distributed with Mathematica, which I copied to the current directory). The movie file is 16K and the resultant PDF file is 4.5K, which means that the movie is not embedded in the PDF (which in itself is not a problem, because, IIUC, context does not embed the movie in the pdf file anyways). However, when I open the file in acroread 9.5.1 (on Linux), and no movie is shown in the pdf file. So, does ConTeXt support including movies in pdf files, and if so, can someone provide a minimal working example. Aditya
