underbar/margin text
by Daniel Schopper 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hi, I have to typeset some underlined text with margin notes by its side. Is there a way to prevent the notes themself to get underlined? I tried putting the note-command in a group, simplifying its content etc. (In my real file I use \defineinmargin, btw.) \starttext \underbar{Test Test Test\footnote{footnote}~Test Test Test\par Test\inleft{marginal} Test Test Test Test Test \par} \stoptext (As one can see, there’s also an issue with the footnote-sign breaking the continued line, which is not urgent for me, at least by now.) Cheers, Daniel

Indented footnotes in ConTeXt
by Adam Khan 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Greetings! I am writing a German critical edition in which I am using endnotes, and I am encountering severe difficulties with formatting them as I should wish. The idea is to indent the entire footnote—marker and text—0.5in. In ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX, I can move the footnote marker with this set-up: \definenote[critical][conversion=characters, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, margindistance=-.5in, align=flushleft] Then I move the text by adding the unsightly but functional hack \hskip.5into the beginning of the argument of \critical or \criticaltext. Unfortunately, the endnotes do not flow from page to page in Mark II, and, from the comments on the source code, it appears that this cannot be helped. Given the length and number of endnotes needed for my project, ConTeXt (Mark II) on XeTeX does not seem viable. In ConTeXt (Mark IV) on LuaTeX, on the other hand, the endnotes do flow from page to page, but the formatting does not appear to respond to the margindistance key. From various related posts, the answer appears to lie in \setupnotation, but, whenever I attempt to pass this command, I get an “undefined control sequence” error. In short, my question is, How do I code indenting each endnote .5in with the highest degree of automation and fewest hacks possible? Sincerely yours, Adam Khan P.S. In case something less obvious in my environment file is causing my difficulties, I attach it below: \startenvironment Formattierung \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[backspace=1.5in, topspace=1in, bottomspace=1in, cutspace=1in] \setupinterlinespace[line=5.6ex] \setupindenting[.5in] \indenting[always] \setupnarrower[left=0.5in, right=0in] \setupspacing[packed] \setupalign[right,broad,nothyphenated] \setuplinenumbering[step=1] \setuppagenumbering[way=bytext] \definenote[genetic] \setupnote[genetic][numberconversion=romannumerals, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[source] \setupnote[source][numberconversion=set2, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[critical] \setupnote[critical][numberconversion=characters, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, margindistance=-.5in, align=flushleft] \definenote[annotation] \setupnote[annotation][numberconversion=numbers, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \definenote[sociological] \setupnote[sociological][numberconversion=Romannumerals, way=bychapter, location=text, bodyfont=12pt, align=flushleft] \setupbodyfont[ss,12pt] \setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes] \def\broadcast{\rm} \def\callout#1{<#1>} \def\noteindent{\hskip.5in} \def\notepar{\\\hskip.5in} \def\original{\ss} \def\paratext{\tt} \def\quotationheader#1#2{{\noindenting\paratext#1]\wordright{[#2}}} \def\siglum#1{{\bf#1}} \def\someoneelse#1{{\it#1}} \stopenvironment

inright with location=hanging does not do what is expected.
by Bill Meahan 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Apparently the listserver thought this was spam given my original subject lines contained a backslash, square brackets and curly brackets. :( Let's try this again: Maybe I'm reading the documentation (such as it is) wrong but I would expect specifying [location=hanging] to drop the margin text down alongside what follows instead of raising up to be even with what has preceded it. Minimal example: \starttext \input montgomery \inright[][align=right,location=hanging]{Shoulder Text} \input knuth \stoptext The "Shoulder Text" is aligned upward from the end of ward so it is alongside the ward quote. I would have expected it to be aligned downward alongside the knuth quote. Am I missing something? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Bug?
by Willi Egger 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi all! It appears to me, that there is a bug in transferring internal information: Suppose you have a large image. You need to squeeze this image into the width of 1 column in a two column environment. If the figure is placed with a fixed width it comes out as expect. If you use \textwidth or \makeupwidth the figure will not be sized correctly. \showframe % \definemixedcolumns[columns] % \setupcolumns % [distance=4mm] \starttext \startsimplecolumns \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow width fixed-width} {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,width=4cm]} \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow with \type{\textwidth}} {\externalfigure[Pyramid][fame=on,width=\textwidth]} \placefigure [middle] [Cow] {Cow with \type{\makeupwidth}} {\externalfigure[Pyramid][frame=on,width=\makeupwidth]} \stopsimplecolumns \stoptext Willi

Spaces in commands
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi there, how to define commands, which are simply short-cuts for some terms? My attempt produces typographical mistakes: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\testcmd{% Testcommand% } \def\testcmdtwo{% Testcommandtwo } \starttext This is a \testcmd. Everything ok. This \testcmd has no space after, but it should have. This \testcmdtwo has a space after. Everything ok. But this \testcmdtwo, produces one extra spaces after the comma. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thank you. Huseyin

Re: Section alone on the page
by "H. Özoguz" 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

I got this eMail, and copy it here, maybe someone understands what changed and caused this Bug. ++++++++++++++++++ I looked at your not_so_short_example in ntg-context Digest, Vol 101, Issue 53, 18 November 2012, and I found that your problem, the section title alone at the bottom of a page, occurs only in some versions of the ConTeXt standalone, not in others. That on TeXLive will be OK (it was on my installation) My recent version of ConTeXt (14-11-2012) was not OK but some older versions (from march and may this year and even as recent as october 28) do not give your problem. For he others, I tried to avoid the problem by adding to your setup: \clubpenalty=10000 % keine Schusterjungen / no clubs (from Ubuch) \widowpenalty=10000 % keine Hurenkinder / no widows but that did not change anything, starngely enough. Maybe you could ask Hans Hagen or Wolfgang Schuster to have a look at the code and find out what's wrong. I hope this helps a little for the time being. +++++++++++++ Huseyin

Suddenly can't run context
by Bill Meahan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Something has changed on my system and I can't find it. Perhaps someone can point me where I should look. I've had the texlive2012 installed since it came out and until a couple of days ago everything worked just fine. All of a sudden, things changed. I did nothing directly to the texlive distribution. wwm@escherton$ context --version gives the error output at the end of this note wwm@escherton$ sudo context --version works just fine wwm@escherton$ mtxrun --version works just fine as does mtxrun --script fonts --reload &c. I created a new user. context@escherton$ context --version works just fine I deleted the texlive distribution and re-installed it. No change. I've run sudo context --generate several times with no change in behavior. I've deleted the local .texlive2012 directory but since context won't run, it doesn't get recreated. I can set TEXMF and then context will run but it takes a much longer time than usual and the disk activity light is on almost solid. Any ideas?

In other words, there should be two (A4-sized) pages in the pdf. (My use case is a short quiz for my wife's students - she wants to save paper;).) Bonus points for making pages 5-8 *identical* to pages 1-4, so that: on pages 1-2 (top of the A4 sheet, both sides) there is one problem set; on pages 3-4 (just below the previous one) there is another; on pages 5-6 (yet below) the first problem set is repeated; on pages 7-8 (bottom) the second one gets repeated again.

TeX files in fonts/ directory

19 Nov '12

Hi, I am using ConTeXt standalone. Normally I unzip or git clone the fonts that I regularly use in $HOME/texmf/fonts/opentype/data directory, since I assume that all the extra files in there will simply be ignored by TeX. However, I recently noticed that MkIV finds a test.tex file from inside the fonts/ directory. In particular: $ luatools test.tex /home/adityam/texmf/fonts/opentype/data/euler-otf/tests/test.tex Should luatools only search for tex files inside $TEXMF/tex directories? Aditya

Odd bug with \startitemize

For some reason I used someone's earlier posting to test something about my tex software and accidentally happened upon this odd behavior. If the \startitemize code below is repeated 10 or more times, either with \dorecurse or by pasting it ten times, only one is typeset. If nine times, then all nine are typeset. If "Some text" is un-commented, then all ten are typeset along with "Some text." (If working with the pasted version, the "Some text" can appear after the first or second iteration, or before any iteration that appears on the first page, and all itemizations will appear.)

Yes, now I did. And this is the result: mtxrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.078 seconds This is the only line in the editor after compiling. And "mtxrun --generate" did not help. What does that error means? Is still any path missing? (I added various different pathes into the context directory. Huseyin

Epub woes
by Bill Meahan 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

I tried to generate an epub document using ConTeXt following the recipe on the wiki. Didn't work. So, I tried running the export-example.tex file that comes with the distribution, unmodified. Same bad results. Cover is not generated TOC is not generated (though it is noted this might be the state of the export) Sectioning doesn't happen. Paragraphing doesn't happen. The resultant epub file cannot even be opened with FBReader. Importing the epub into Sigil shows one big blob of text, with only the between word spacing that's present in the source file. The \quotation{} markup did get turned into quotation marks, chapter numbers were generated and the rest of the markup was stripped out. Same behavior with both the TeXLive 2012 version of ConTeXt and a quite recent beta. Up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 Linux Escherton 3.2.0-32-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:32:50 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux What am I doing wrong? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Dear Otared, Thank you for detailed explanations. I got the same results as you explained. There may be something which controls the vertical spaces in columns. I believe that it will be resolved soon. Best regards, Dalyoung

Hi Hans, and others! I’d like to test these hyphenation patterns: http://www.ponomar.net/files/cuhyph.tex At the moment, the names of the imported pattern sources are hardcoded in mtx-patterns.lua.

Missing file.tuc with setuparranging[2SIDE]

Hi, I found a strange problem using \setuparranging[2SIDE] : the .tuc file is not created anymore and this lead to a missing section number (for the first section only). How can I remedy to that ? Any idea ? The minimal example : %%%%%%%%%% \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{ \section{Knuth} \input knuth} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%% If one comment the \setuparranging[2SIDE] line, everything is ok.

Paths for ConTeXt in Texworks

16 Nov '12

Hello, I was using the build-in ConTeXt of Texlive 2012 - till now. Now I installed the standalone version of ConTeXt (newst version). How to tell Texworks to switch to the standalone context? With pathes are relevant? I tried many paths, but I get always .... resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'context.lua' mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' So which paths I have to add to get the standalone version working with texworks?

I use the Context Version: 2012.05.30 11:26 Do I have to update to use this annotation module? (It does not work.)

My question is: I want to be absolutely sure, that no word is written in the margin with my settings. And if I use only \setuptolerance [tolerant] it might still happen. The reason for the smal tolerance was, that I want very small tolerance (= nice result ?) in most cases, but if a word is written in the margin, then it should stretch (word in the margin = worst case for me)

Hyphenation in German
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi there, I always use \mainlanguage [de] But still, many breakings and stretches are ugly, because context does not know how to hyphenate a word. Of course I can add \- to help, but is there a way to add a bigger list of german words (like DUDEN has) or something like that, not not have to add \- all the time? Huseyin

[luatex-plain] loading patterns
by Philipp Gesang 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi all! (I assume this is the appropriate list for questions regarding luatex-plain.) I am trying to enable the Russian hyphenation patterns. The demo code below works with luatex.fmt but not luatex-plain.fmt (both from tex live). More precisely, after loading the hyphenation patterns for, say, *Latin* I get proper hyphenation. Now when I attempt the same with *Russian*, nothing is hyphenated. (As lang.patterns(id) correctly returns the patterns in both cases, I guess something is missing after updating tex.language.) Any thoughts? Can someone reproduce this? Philipp ================================================================= \def\loadpatterns#1{% \directlua{ local pattern_source = kpse.find_file"#1" texio.write_nl("* loading patterns from file " .. pattern_source) local fh = io.open(kpse.find_file"#1") local new_patterns = fh:read"*a" fh:close() local new_language = lang.new() lang.patterns(new_language, new_patterns) tex.language = lang.id(new_language) %print(lang.patterns(new_language)) }% } % ····························································· % \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% no pattern yet, so both without \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% hyphenation % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-ru.pat.txt} %% Russian \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% wrong with luatex-plain % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-la.pat.txt} %% Latin \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% correct with either % ····························································· % \bye

Tolerance and Stretch versus Protrusion and Ugliness

Hi there, at the moment I use for my book \definepapersize[MyBook][A5] \setuppapersize[MyBook][A5] \usemodule [simplefonts][size=11pt] \setmainfont[Times New Roman][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hanging] \setuptolerance[stretch] \tolerance 70 Is it suitable to use tolerance and stretch in this way together? Of course I want a nice type area - but for me that means that I definitely don't want a word written in the margin! (That happens with the default \tolerance 250 (without using stretch). What would you recommend? Are there other values to play with, to get a better result? Thanks Huseyin
