A problem with \blank
by Marcin Borkowski 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Good evening, I have something like this in my document: \startalignment[middle] ... \stopalignment \startitemize ... \stopitemize and I want some (more) vertical space in between them. Adding a \blank[big] (and even a \blank[big,force]) didn't help. Interestingly, \leavevmode\blank[big] did. What is going on? What is the "canonical" way to achieve what I want to have?

Hi again, I promise this is my last question now - it's 1:00 AM here, I'm starting to sleep;). But how do I make my math smaller? {\tfx\math{a^2+b^2=c^2}} won't work. Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

using variable for subscript in math+lua
by Jeong Dal 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Dear Hans, Lucas, Wolfgang, Aditya Now, I write a matrix using \startluacode by the helps of you. Also, I can do some operations in matrices which reduced my typing job. In this code, I have to give all the entries of a matrix as a table. It is good to use in many cases. I have one more question. If the given array is as the following and it works well. %%%%%%%% \starttext \startluacode printMatrix = function (t) context.startmatrix{left = "\\left(\\,", right = "\\,\\right)"} for _, r in ipairs(t) do for _, c in ipairs(r) do context.NC(c) end context.NR() end context.stopmatrix() end \stopluacode \startformula \startluacode local mat={{"a_{11}","a_{12}","a_{13}"},{"a_{21}","a_{22}","a_{23}"},{"a_{31}","a_{32}","a_{33}"}} printMatrix(mat) \stopluacode \stopformula \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%% However, there might be a better way to do job using "for" iteration. I tired to use "i, j" in several ways but it doesn't work. function printMatrixA() context.startmatrix{left = "\\left(\\,", right = "\\,\\right)"} for i=1,3 do for j=1, 3 do context.NC("a_{ij}") end context.NR() end context.stopmatrix() end %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Is there a way to do such a job using "for" iteration? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

A few questions about itemizations
by Marcin Borkowski 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hi all, this code: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \defineitemgroup[subitems] \setupitemgroup[subitems][each][a,packed][left=(,stopper=)] \starttext \startitemize[n] \startitem Lorem ipsum \startsubitems \startitem dolor \stopitem \startitem sit \stopitem \startitem amet. \stopitem \stopsubitems \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% behaves differently if I change \startsubitems into \startitemize[a,packed][left=(,stopper=)]. Namely, the vertical space before (a) ... does not appear when using \startsubitems. Why is that so? When I want to put the vertical space before the first subitem by means of before={\blank[small]}, nothing happens. Also, is \startitem ... \stopitem really better than \item ...? (Apart from the case when I use the [random] option.) And finally: what is the difference between "right=)" and "stopper=)"? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Section/head with separate numbering and references
by Jason Brown 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hello, I'm working on a document with both chapter/section numbering, and a 'topic' whose numbers are sequential across the entire document. I found a solution to enable this from a 2003 thread in the archives ("Creating list with separate numbering", 15 April 2003), but I can't seem to get references to work. I've looked through the archives, read The TeXbook, and browsed the ConTeXt source but can't quite figure out how to make this work. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKII fmt: 2011.7.3 int: english/english Example below: ----------------------------------- % "topic" numbering \definehead [Topic] [subsection] \setuphead [Topic] [ownnumber=yes,number=yes,numberstyle=normal,numbercolor=darkgray,textstyle=\it,alternative=inmargin,header=empty,inbetween=,after=] % use a label text \setuplabeltext[Topic=\S] % increment and feed \newcounter\TopicNumber \def\topic[#1]#2 {\doglobal\increment\TopicNumber \Topic{\TopicNumber}{#2}} \starttext \section{Tufte} \input tufte \topic[topic:SomeTopic]{Some topic.} Here we will discuss a particular topic. \topic[topic:AnotherTopic]{Another topic.} Let's expand on the previous topic. \topic[topic:AGreatTopic]{A great topic.} I can go on like this all day. \section{Another Tufte} \input tufte \topic[topic:SomeOtherTopic]{Some other topic.} Recall in \in{\S}[topic:AnotherTopic] that we extended blah blah from \in{\S}[topic:SomeTopic] and noted that... \stoptext ----------------------------------- Thanks, Jason

Re: [NTG-context] using variable for subscript in math+lua (and math+MetaFun)
by Jeong Dal 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Dear Gesang and Hans, Your solution is working nicely. I may use lua to simplify my other work. I'd like to ask you one more thing. I tried to write a matrix using MetaFun to add some graphics as following: label(btex $a_{11}$ etex, ( , )); label(btex $a_{12}$ etex, ( , )); label(btex $a_{13}$ etex, ( , )); … label(btex $a_{3,3}$ etex, ( , )); Since the same command is repeated, I tested to use "for" iteration. But I couldn't succeed. It is OK to use the variable as a text but I couldn't find a way to use a variable as a subscript. For example, for i=1 unto 3: label(btex decimal(i) etex, (x,y)); endfor; is OK. But, for i=1 upto 3: label(btex $a_{i}$ etex, (x,y)); endfor; or for i=1 upto 3: label(btex $a_{deciaml(i)}$ etex, (x,y)); endfor; are not working as I wanted. Is there a way to use variable as a subscript in "label"? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

math: \text does not scale properly
by Andreas Mang 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi there, As Aditya mentioned in a former posting (*) that "\text{ ... }" should scale properly when used as super- or subscript, I have prepared a minimal example to demonstrate that it doesn't. In my document I have switched from "\text{ }" to "\normal", which works. Kind regards, Andreas ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.25 21:44 MKIV fmt: 2012.10.1 %% MINIMAL EXAMPLE \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext $f_{\text{text}_{\text{text}_{\text{text}}}}$ $f_{{\normal text}_{{\normal text}_{\normal text}}}$ \stoptext %% MINIMAL EXAMPLE (*) see "[NTG-context] punctuation vs font switch"

Hi there, I have the following settings for a document. \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex] \setupwhitespace[medium] But I would like to have diferent values for interlinear space and between paragraphs. strc-not.mkvi shows that the after option from \setupnotation does the work with the space between paragraphs. But how can I set the interlinear space value for footnotes? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Some odd behaviour I noticed in MkIV with respect to enumerations
by Shane Peelar 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello everyone, I was going through a tutorial to learn how to set up theorem-like environments in ConTeXt: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf and I noticed a few strange behaviours. I recognize that this tutorial was written for MkII ConTeXt, but after consulting the documentation in the latest ConTeXt manual and the wiki, I have determined that these features should still work. I'm looking at the "list" functionality of enumerations and descriptions. In MkII, you can do the following: \defineenumeration[blah][ ... list=listname, listtext={Text goes here}] and every time the enumeration is used, it'll be placed in the list you specify. The tutorial referenced above uses this to place a list of theorems with proper naming and numbering, as well as lemmas and other math things. In MkIV, I noticed that this functionality doesn't work, or at least not in the same way. I was not able to do: \placelist[enumeration:listname] for example. I was able to do \placelist[blah], however. After scouring this mailing list and consulting the source code, I haven't been able to find anything that would give me this functionality in MkIV. Was this intentional, or is there another way to get this functionality back? The other strangeness I noticed was the "separator" option in defineenumeration. Normally one could do: \defineenumeration[blah2][ ... separator=--] and things would work as they should, however this doesn't seem to work in MkIV. The last piece of functionality I noticed was not being able to set the number style in defineenumeration (which again works in MkII, tested this morning), like so: \defineenumeration[blah3][ numberstyle=bold] The wiki shows that these options should all be there, and they appear to be at least referenced in the source code, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to really give a good judgment of that. I noticed in one file "strc-des.mkiv" it says in a comment "lists and titles are experimental". Could anyone please help me out with these features? Thanks, Shane Peelar

TABLE: header with a thick bottom line
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello, how to achieve the table header to have a thick bottom line? Here are my two attempts: ---- \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR[bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm]\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE Or even better: \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm,align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext ---- As you can see, in both cases all header cells are surrounded by a thick border; but only the bottom border should be. How to achieve it? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Suppressing Page Numbers
by Malte Stien 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi, Thank you again for all the great help, I have received here in recent weeks; it is much appreciated. I have page numbering setup in my layout.tex environment file, which I use for all of our documents. % Show the page number in the middle of the footer \setuppagenumbering[ alternative=singlesided, location={header, margin}, style=bold, ] For a particular document, though, I don't want page numbers. Is there a way of locally suppressing the page numbers while still importing (via environment) the layout.tex file? I guess, what I am asking is, is there a way to "override" the setuppagenumbering setup locally? A workaround would be to have a second layout.tex file, just for this document, but I much prefer not to. Regards, Malte.

[test suite] Bibtex-related test fails to compile.
by Marco Pessotto 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

I've imported most of the testfiles kindly provided by Hans. Now the test suite has grown to ~900 files. I'm running them in chunks and I'll keep reporting, even if I don't need the feature. If you prefer me to post to another list, please let me know. https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite/tree/master/src/m… collapse-001.tex fails to compile. See below the log. progressive-005.tex picks a different LM font, but probably because I don't have the required fonts installed and it's using a different one as fallback (I don't know which one is supposed to be the good one, probably noone :-). The other differences are just due to different distances, so I'm promoting them to references.

The one typeset with mkii has the correct output, while the one with mkiv is not correct (the spacing of the bounds of the integrals and the spacing between the integrals when they are invoked with \iint or \iiint are incorrect). (I tried this with ConTeXt version 2012-10-22, 11:01). > The « reference » output should be the file « math-integral-mkii-2012-10-22.pdf » Keep in mind that mkiv and mkii will never produce the same results (e.g.: more granularity in font metrics in mkiv, less juggling with combined shapes in mkiv, etc). SO, it can never be the pixel wise reference. The issue with italic correction is complex. First of all italic corrections are a tex thing while in otf advanced kerning mechanism is used. This means that the engine has to deal with traditional as well ad new mechanisms. In the process of developing luatex and mkiv, we went through several phases, one is that the italic correction had to be added to the width (a handicap is that luatex has to make some guesses, and the mkiv vf is a wide font on the one hand but still a traditional one). Anyhow, already quite a while ago, mkiv got two mechanisms to deal with italic correction, one for text and one for math (otf text fonts have no italic correction). Both mechanism can be configured to adapt themselves to the situation. For math we have 4 variants. \setupmathematics[italics=1] % fontitalics \setupmathematics[italics=2] % fontdata \setupmathematics[italics=3] % quad based \setupmathematics[italics=4] % combination of 1 and 3 \setupmathematics[italics=none] Depending on available italic info or the lack of it, correction is applied. Of course this can be improved. Once they are complete, we can make the new gyre math fonts default and some of the problems will go away. The virtuals will then be kept as an example of defining virtual fonts. Concerning the issue: i removed adding the italic correction to the width (something that was needed in a previous version of luatex).

I made a backup of the old context version (for Taco: current-backup) and updated to current (2012.05.30 11:26), but it doesn't work at all. It says "pdfcrop failed", but my impression is that not even the temporary folder to store the tex file (and compile the pdf) gets generated. This issue needs Taco's help.

making horizontal space in luacode.
by Jeong Dal 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Dear all, 1. I'd like to make a horizontal space using \hspace[3em] inside luacode. But context.hspace({3em}), context.hspace({"3em"}), context.hspace("3em") don't work. And print(" ") doesn't work either. How to make some horizontal space in luacode? 2. There is no white line even though I put "\blank[big]" between Frame(bring it from MetaFun) and text as in the following example. \starttext %%%%%%%% framed Text \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric o ; path a, b ; pair c ; p := textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; o := BodyFontSize ; a := unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) ; p := p shifted (2o,OverlayHeight-ypart center p) ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red) ; b := a superellipsed .95 ; %fill b withcolor .85white ; draw b ; b := (boundingbox p) superellipsed .95 ; fill b withcolor .425green;%.85white ; draw b ; draw p withcolor black ; setbounds currentpicture to a ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame, offset=\bodyfontsize, width=\overlaywidth]%.8\textwidth] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame {\stopFunnyText} \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut\ss\bf\white #1\hss}}} This is a test line file for blank spaces. \blank[big] % white line is wanted {\FrameTitle{Test} \StartFrame \startitemize[n] \item the first line. \item the second line. \item the third line. \stopitemize \StopFrame } \blank[big] % white line is wanted Here is another test line. \stoptext What should I do to make a blank line before and after Thank you.
