chart module \connection[cc]
by Alan BRASLAU 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hello, Once again, let me say that the chart module is great! In the following example 3 columns x 2 rows, I connect the cell {3,2} with the cell {2,1}. In the absence of the cell {2,2}, the arrow nicely goes through the center of this blank space. \usemodule [chart] \setupFLOWcharts [nx=3,ny=2, dx=2\bodyfontsize,dy=2\bodyfontsize, width=7\bodyfontsize,height=7\bodyfontsize, maxwidth=\textwidth] \starttext \startFLOWchart [minimal] \startFLOWcell \name {11} \location {1,1} \text {1,1} \connection [rl] {21} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {21} \location {2,1} \text {2,1} \connection [rl] {31} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {31} \location {3,1} \text {3,1} \connection [bt] {32} \stopFLOWcell % \startFLOWcell % \name {22} % \location {2,2} % \text {2,2} % \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {32} \location {3,2} \text {3,2} \connection [lb] {21} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart [minimal] \stoptext Question (or perhaps feature request), it would be nice to be able to connect the cells {3,2} and {2,1} using a diagonal arrow, running directly from the center of one cell to the center of the other, of course ending at the intersections with the cell shapes outlines. Is this possible? A decent syntax could be \connection [cc] {21} This syntax could also nicely work for the other connections, without having to specify "l" or "r" or "t" or "b". Thus, \connection [rl] {21} for the cell {1,1} could be replaced by \connection [cc] {21} yielding the same result. I can figure out how to do this in metapost, but I have not looked into the chart module code. Alan

\chapter{} vs \startchapter..\stopchapter
by Bill Meahan 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

I note there are two different ways of handling a chapter: The traditional \chapter{mytitle} \startchapter[title=mytitle, ownnumber=N ..] blah \stopchapter Is there any difference or advantage/disadvatage to using one method or the other? Other than the source code, is there anything that lists the keys for \startchapter somewhere? It's not documented in even the most recent command reference. Many thanks! -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Presets in collectors
by Marco Patzer 10 Nov '12

Hi! Is there a reason that presets don't work with collectors? Collectors are based on layers and that's what presets are made for, right?

Preventing page break in register between reference and page number
by "H. Özoguz" 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

Hello there, I am relatively new to ConTeXt, now typing a small book in it. I have a problem with the register (index). This is an example: |\definepapersize[MyBook][A6] \setuppapersize[MyBook][A6] % Prints on paper the size of MyBook \starttext \index{A} blub \index{B} blub \index{C} blub \index{D} blub \index{E} blub \index{F} blub \index{G} blub \index{H} blub \index{I} blub \index{J} blub \index{K} blub \index{Long Long Long} blub \index{M} blub \index{N} blub \completeindex \stoptext |The page numer of the reference "Long Long Long" is set to the next page. How to prevent this? Maybe the reference "Long Long Long" could break into two lnes or a rule like that?

[***SPAM***] Fonts problems with ConTeXt MKIV (LuaTeX)
by Patrick 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Dear all, I have to use a special font (DIN) for my document. This font have a really limited number of caracters. Previously I was using ConTeXt MKII with no problems. After migrating to ConTeXt MKiV the math formula and list doesn’t work due to the font. It's like the charset used for the formula and the list bullet are not available. I have not this issue with the same font with ConTeXt MKII. The code used to load the font is not the same for the two version. With MKIV I use the simplefonts module, with MKII I use typescript. Both code are available below. Do you have any idea how could I use DIN font with MKIV without breaking math formula ? Thanks in advance for any hint Patrick This is the code I use with MKIV: \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] \setsansfont[din] This is the code I use with MKII: % Load the DIN font and set the typescript \loadmapfile [texnansi-s-din.map] \starttypescript [map] [gentium] [ec,texnansi,8r,t5,t2a,t2b,qx] \loadmapfile [\typescriptthree-s-din.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [DIN] [texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Black][texnansi-DIN-Black0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Bold][texnansi-DIN-Bold0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Light][texnansi-DIN-Light0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Medium][texnansi-DIN-Medium0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Regular][texnansi-DIN-Regular0][encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [DIN] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [DIN-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [DIN-Light] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [DIN-Light] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [DIN-Bold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [DIN] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [rm] [serif] [DIN] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [ss] [sans] [default] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [tt] [mono] [default] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [mm] [math] [default] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[DIN]

RFC: path relative to current file.
by Andre Caldas 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hello, list! A while ago, I raised a question about how to, in a tex, specify a file with a path relative to the currently being processed file. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069132.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/068902.html Even though the issue did not get much attention, I do believe it is the right thing to do. I wrote a module to implement a macro I called "\pathrelativetome". My code is still a lot ugly. I don't know how to do many things in Lua, LuaTeX and ConTeXt. It can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/bade74046a6b/lib It would be REALLY NICE if the functionality of "pathrelativetome" was provided by ConTeXt. call it using, for example: context --usemodule=lib/relativetome src/products/assorted.tex Ugly things remaining: 1. pathstack should be initialized with the path of the first tex script. I.e.: src/products/, instead of pathstack[1] = 'src/products' 2. Functions pop and push should be local. (relativetome.lua) 3. Call function "pop" automatically, just like the "push" function is called automatically. 4. Avoid having to define "\xproject", "\xproduct", "\xcomponent" and "\xenvironment". http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069305.html Any suggestions/improvements are very welcome! Cheers, André Caldas.

\externalfigure and large-paged pdfs
by Taco Hoekwater 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, Actually, this is a bug report. If you try to include a pdf with a large page size: \starttext \externalfigure[plankaart] \stoptext chances are that you get an error message like this: ! Dimension too large. <recently read> \hsize \setraggedness ...yphenpenalty \dimexpr 2.8\hsize /\dimexpr #1\relax \relax ... \raggedcenter ...spac_align_set_raggedness_middle \raggedstatus \plustwo \at... \next ...ght \pack_framed_do_setups \raggedcenter \vss \bgroup \localbegstru... \grph_include_finalize ...tedexternalfigureframed {\vfilll \box \foundextern... \grph_include_place ...ode \grph_include_finalize \fi \ctxlua {figures.pop()... ... l.2 \externalfigure[plankaart] It seems that \externalfigure forces execution of \raggedcenter, and if your PDF's page is large enough, that then fails. There is, in fact, a workaroud: \starttext {\setupalign[nothyphenated]\externalfigure[plankaart]} \stoptext but that looks totally bizarre. Hans, can you find a way to fix this properly? Best wishes, Taco

Spacing around integrals
by Jeong Dal 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear Aditya, In "ntg-context Digest, Vol 99, Issue 59", you mention about "\int_a^b", but I could't find the follow-up for that. I also have a similar problem when using "\int_a^b". a and b are located at the bottom and top of the integral sign respectively. Also there is a somewhat big space between the integral sign and "f(x)". I am using the latest beta. Is there any progress for that? Thank you. Best regards.

apa like bibliography: entries not indexed correctly
by Andreas Mang 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear all, I am experiencing problems with the bibliography. My bibliographystyle is apa like. In the minimal example given below the maybe year is not set up correctly. That is I would expect to have (Firstauthor et al., 2012a,2011,2012b) but I get (Firstauthor et al., 2012,2011,2012). It took me some time to reproduce this error. My description of the error is probably quite difficult to follow. I hope the example is more intuitive: The reason for this problem to occur is that the entries in the bbl file are probably processed according to the alphabetic order of the last name of the authors. If one refers to an author publishing several articles in a single year (in my example 2012) and there is an additional publication that is published in another year (in my example 2011), the ordering is essentially determined by the first letter of the last name of the second author (if it was a different second author, otherwise third author and so on). If the letter of the second author in the publication published in the year in which there was only a single publication (in my example 2011) happens to be inbetween the letter of the second author on the two publications published in the year in which there have been two publications (in my example the publications in 2012), the publication (in my example 2011) will appear inbetween those that appeared in the same year (in my example 2012). This results in the maybeyear to be screwed up. The listing will be Firstauthor et al., 2012 Firstauthor et al., 2011 Firstauthor et al. 2012 instead of Firstauthor et al., 2012a Firstauthor et al., 2011 Firstauthor et al., 2012b Cheers, Andreas 2012.11.06 09:56 MKIV fmt: 2012.11.7 int: english/english \setuppublications[ alternative=apa-de, sorttype=bbl ] \setuppublicationlist[] %bibtex support \setupbibtex[database={references-example},sort=author] %\setupbibtex[database={references},sort=author] %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \cite[Firstauthor:2012b,Firstauthor:2011a,Firstauthor:2012a] \placepublications[criterium=text] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%

In dont't really know why you think it should render differently. Everything TeX is supposed to ignore white spaces in math, AFAIK.

New module: crossref
by Zenlima 04 Nov '12

04 Nov '12

Hi, after the feedback for my first module (pararef) and regarding my next upcoming module I decided to put crossref into its own module, so that it can be used by other modules or without any other module. http://modules.contextgarden.net/crossref Unluckily I forgot to fill out the filename field at the very beginning. As I cannot change the filename anymore, I ask a modules-db admin to change it from -0.9.zip to t-crossref-0.9.zip - thanks! :-S http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cross_Referencing @Sieste and Wolfgang I removed move my wrong spelling of bra[c]kets and replaced it by left and right as Wolfgang suggested. @Lukas I added your czech alternative. @Philipp I like to put into a public vcs like github. I think it should be something general for all modules (maybe a github like installation on contextgarden? @Philipp and Wolfgang Is there any quick to understand doc for s-mod? @Wolfgang I did not understood your "helpers example". Maybe you can show me a point where it would make sense in this crossref module? Of course to all: feel free to comment it and I hope it will be usefull for some of you. H. PS. Sorry for my half finished post sended before.. it is clearly too late. PPS. pararef will be updated soon to work with crossref
