bad kerning with Garamond
by Peter Münster 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I've copied the files GARA.TTF, GARABD.TTF and GARAIT.TTF (Monotype Garamond) to the fonts directory and then regenerated the database. This is my test-file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[garamond] \starttext \input tufte \it \input tufte \bf \input tufte \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The output is here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/test.pdf and it's very ugly. How could I get better results please? TIA for any help! -- Peter

ancient greek module and footnote fontsize problem
by Alan Bowen 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

The following code fails to produce greek in the footnote. \usemodule[ancientgreek] [font=GreekOldStandard,scale=1.00,altfont=GreekLibertine,scale=0.95] \def\grk{\localgreek} \setupnote[footnote][way=bypage,conversion=numbers] \setupnote[footnote][location=page, rule=on, bodyfont=9.5pt, style=normal ] \starttext \grk{ἄλφα} lorem ipsum\footnote{lorem ipsm dolor \grk{βῆτα}} \stoptext The problem seems to be “bodyfont=9.5pt”. If this line is commented out, the greek appears as it should. Is this a bug or is there another way to set the fontsize in footnotes to 9.5 pts? Alan

Broken Nightly (2012.07.10)
by Kip Warner 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hey Hans, Wolfgang, et al, The nightly for 2012.07.10 appears to be broken. When attempting to compile my book, I get the following. ! Argument of \PlaceSection has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \strc_rendering_inject_text ...ameter \c!command } \ifx \p_command \empty \di... \strc_rendering_place_head_text ...ng_inject_text }\fi \strc_rendering_stop_... \strc_sectioning_handle ...dering_place_head_text \strc_sectioning_after_yes... l.8 \title{Contents at a Glance} E ? You want to edit file Makeup/Table_of_Contents.tex at line 8 <https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~avaneya/avaneya/trunk/view/head:/Documentatio…> This is just a piece of advice from one programmer to another, but it might be useful if you use some kind of unit testing framework with ConTeXt since most of the nightlies it seems are usually broken for somebody. You just need some test cases, e.g. people's documents that draw on as many features as possible. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

## not permitted in the presence of &.

16 Jul '12

Hi, I run into trouble with mkiv (ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.7 int: english/english). A small example: \starttext \def\c#1#2{\halign{##\hfil&##\cr\bf#1&\quad#2\cr}} \c{11}{this} \stoptext gives and error: ! Only one # is allowed per tab. This runs error-free under mkii (pdftex, xetex), plain tex (luatex, xetex), latex (luatex) etc. Would someone comment? Thank you, Eythan

math: diagonal dots
by Andreas Mang 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Dear all, It seems that the \ddots in "modern" is mapped to the wrong Symbol: %%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbodyfont[modern,12pt] \starttext $\ddots$ \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%% System: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.10 09:52 MKIV result: three dots from bottom left to top right (corresponds to \iddots (which btw. does not exist in context, as it seems)) expected result: three dots from top left to bottom right Seems just to be the case for "modern".

PDF Preview Image
by Kip Warner 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hey list, Many different desktop environments display the first page of a PDF as the file's "thumbnail" image. Is there any way to customize what is used as the preview image for a PDF with ConTeXt? Or is it typesetting environment agnostic and the thumbnailers always look for the first page? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

linenumbering
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

OK, here's another one. For the code, I must admit: http://www.alyssahiba.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/no-idea-what-im-doing-… I think it was the Wolfgang who helped me with this a couple of months ago. I want a start/stop pair that will take as an argument a key-value to set the beginning of the line numbering. So here's my example: \def\startnumberedblockquote {\dosingleempty\dostartnumberedblockquote} \def\dostartnumberedblockquote[#1]% {\getrawparameters[numberedblockquote][start=1,#1]% \blank[line]% \begingroup \setupindenting[no]% \setuplinenumbering[location=text] \startlinenumbering[width=1cm][\numberedblockquotestart]} \def\stopnumberedblockquote {\stoplinenumbering \endgroup \blank[line]} \starttext \startnumberedblockquote[start=3] \input knuth \stopnumberedblockquote \stoptext This works with 2012.06.30 12:32, but not with 2012.07.07 15:04.

setupcaptions
by Meer, H. van der 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I want to make my figure captions both slanted and small, or bold and small,etc. The wiki has for setupcaptions: headstyle normal, bold, .. , small, .. style normal, bold, .. , small, .. I therefore expected to work the following setup: \setupcaptions[headstyle={slanted,small},style={bold,small}] \starttext \placefigure{A dummy figure}{\externalfigure[dummy]} Caption test. \stoptext But no, two seems too much. style={bold} does work and style={small} but style = {bold,small} does not. From the general principles of ConTeXt's parameter handling I would have expected this to work. Of course I could have used style={\bf\switchtobodyfont[small]}, but I would prefer to refrain from low level font commands when possible. I am right the setupcaptions should work with combined fontsettings, or is it my mistake? Hans van der Meer

postponing broken?
by Alan BRASLAU 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello, In the latest beta, postponing seems to be broken (or changed). Minimal example: \starttext \input tufte (see \in{figure}[fig:cow].) \startpostponing [+0] \startplacefigure [location=here,reference={fig:cow}, title={A cow that does not break the paragraph}] \externalfigure [cow] [width=.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stoppostponing \input tufte \stoptext Explanation: In order to have figures placed near their first reference in the text, and to avoid the paragraph break that results from placefigure, I enclose it in between \startpostponing[+0]\stoppostponing. In the latest beta, all the figures (and their references) disappear. Using a slightly older version ConTeXt ver: 2012.06.28 10:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.6.28 int: english/english this works (but the figure in the minimal example above gets pushed to the following page?).

misprint in wiki
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

In the wiki under \setupexternalfigures one finds for the framing of the figure following in the table: "frames on off" Mark the 's' at the end of 'frames' I tested it and found it has to be 'frame' without the 's'. This is the same misprint as occurred in the earlier ConTeXt manual of 2001. Perhaps someone knowledageable about changing the wiki can verify this and will be so kind as to update the wiki.

Tagged PDF
by Wray, Paul 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello all First of all I must say that I am a complete newbie to the TeX world. I am evaluating Context for generation of PDFs for educational use. We aim to produce PDFs that are accessible to screen reader users and for that reason we would like to create tagged PDFs. My initial experiments with tagged PDF have so far been unsuccessful. I am using ConTeXT standalone, (ConTeXT ver: 2012.07.07 MKIV fmt:2012.7.8 int: english/english ). I am using this tex file as a test input (have left in line breaks in case that is significant): \setupstructure[state=start] \starttext \startbodymatter \startchapter[title=Chapter 1] The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 2] Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of the party. \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \stoptext When I open the resulting PDF in Adobe Acrobat 10.0.3 and show the tags navigation pane, it says "No tags available". Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

I spot in the log the following message: fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'lmodern' Does this point to a problem? In good faith I believe I have a fairly standard installation.

Table of Contents & Section Numbering
by Malte Harder 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Dear all, I'm quite new to ConTeXt and I'm just trying to set up a template for my first project. I'm using MkIV and the ConTeXt Standalone nightlies. I've encountered the problem that I was not able to create a table of contents (neither \placelist,\placecontents, with setuplist or without worked). I do not get any error, but there is also no list generated. I think, I tried every hint I found on this list. At that point I thought it might be a problem with the version I'm using and upgraded to the latest beta. However the problem remains. I'm using the project features, frontmater/backmatter and custom headers, but also with everything turned off the placelist does not work? Does anybody know what the problem could be? Another problem, which occured only with the latest nightlies, is that Chapters, Sections and Subsesctions all apparently share the same counter and simply count up from 1, so the first section has number 2 instead of 1.1 and so on. Is this a temporary bug or did something change that needs specific setup? Thanks in advance! Malte

Page Backgrounds
by Kip Warner 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hey list, On the cover page of my book I'd like just an image displayed and another image used as the background for every other page in the book. So I put this in my environment, % Cover image... \definelayer [CoverImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] \setlayer [CoverImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Cover.jpg] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer % Regular background image... \definelayer [BackgroundImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight, repeat=yes] \setlayer [BackgroundImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Background.png] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer , the following in the book's first page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] , and the following on second page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage] . But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank white background. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Incorrect spacing in math
by Otared Kavian 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hi Hans, In mkiv, the spacing of an index in the integral sign, in displayed math, is incorrect since a few weeks: for instance \starttext \startformula \int_{\Omega}f(x)dx = \int_{0}^\infty g(t)dt \stopformula \stoptext gives an Omega which is too far away from the integral sign. (Using ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.08 20:02 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.8 int: english/english). In mkii there is no bug in this regard. Is there a quick fix for this? In some of my documents I must use mkiv and the appearance of this bug is a little bit annoying… (I already reported this bug in June). Best regards: OK

This is beta: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.09 22:35 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.9 int: english/english It fails me with (see below). I am fairly sure now this must be an error seeing the minimal example provided. Here is the most minimal example I could concoct: \setuphead[chapter][header=high] \starttext \chapter{c-one} \stoptext structure > sectioning > @ level 1 : 1 -> c-one ! Extra \else. system > tex > error on line 3 in file practicum.tex: Extra ... 1 \setuphead[chapter][header=high] 2 \starttext 3 >> \chapter{c-one} 4 \stoptext 5 6 \def\edition{2012} % the year of production 7 8 \disablemode[concept] % concept/final 9 10 \disablemode[docent] % typeset teacher info 11 12 \input setup % parameter settings 13 \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \strc_sectioning_handle ...ioning_after_yes \else \ifconditional \c_strc_sec... l.3 \chapter{c-one} I guess the problem is signalled in strc-sec.mkiv where strc_sectioning_after_yes occurs in lines 780, 802 and 943, the first two seem the most likely candidates. I do not see at first hand a wrong \if\else\fi count there. Maybe the culprit hides elsewhere. Hans van der Meer

beta
by Hans Hagen 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi, In the process of mkiv-ing a new beta has been uploaded. This time the rendering of sections has been dealt with. New is that one can use 'setups' for rendering. This mechanism is still somewhat experimental (and might get improved) but the idea is given below: \starttext \section{test} \unexpanded\def\whatever#1#2{[#1][#2]} \setuphead[section][command=\whatever] % traditional \section{test} \defineheadplacement[whatever]#1#2{(#1)(#2)} % traditional \setuphead[section][command=,alternative=whatever] \section{test} \defineheadalternative % new [whatever] [alternative=vertical, renderingsetup=whatever] \startsetups[whatever] /\headnumbercontent/\headtextcontent/ \stopsetups \setuphead[section][command=,alternative=whatever] \section{test} \stoptext There are some helpers. These fetch content: \headnumbercontent \headtextcontent These are dimensions: \headwidth \headtextwidth \headnumberdistance \headnumberwidth This is for local spacing setup: \headsetupspacing These are conditionals \headshownumber \headisdisplay Maybe these names will change. Setups are also used in constructions (the building blocks for descriptions, enumerations, notes etc) but there some more work is needed. The code is somewhat faster, but that will probably go unnoticed unless one has documents with hundreds of heads.

modes + arranging
by Thomas A. Schmitz 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi all, sorry for the slightly silly example, but it's something I can't figure out, and it has worked before. For processing my documents, I have defined a mode which will arrange pages. Here's the silly example test.tex: \startmode[arranged] \setuppapersize[A6][A4] \setuparranging[2*4] \stopmode \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \starttext \dorecurse{8}{\null\vfill\centerline\recurselevel\vfill\null\page} \stoptext When I process this with context --mode=arranged test I get the expected output. When I process it with context --mode=arranged --arrange test the pages are NOT arranged. I need the --arrange switch for my data, and I don't understand what's going wrong here. Behavior is the same with current beta and a slightly older version (06.30). Thanks Thomas

Tables still broken?

Are tables still broken? If so, any pointers to when it will be repaired? The table did typeset in the past without problems. I get an error with this recent version of ConTeXt: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.04 23:48 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.6 int: english/english !

Arbitrary font size
by Troy Henderson 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

I would like to know if there is a command like \tfn{0.9} which would allow the user to specify an arbitrary font scale factor since the built-in \tfa, \tfb, \tfc, \tfd, \tfx, and \tfxx are insufficient for one of my projects. Troy Henderson

Check brackets and parentheses
by Gilbert Houtekamer 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi, I sometimes find myself looking for misplaced and missing brackets for a long time, as context may given errors about a completely different location. For example this one took me a while \goto{\url[localhost20381}[url(localhost20381)] (missing ] after this localhost20381). Is there a SciTE or Notepad++ or command line script that anyone wrote to help with this? It can be more or less sophisticated, but I found that missing / mismatched { [ ] } give the most confusing errors. Thanks, Best regards/vriendelijke groeten Gilbert

setuppagenumber
by Meer, H. van der 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Is \setuppagenumber broken? Or do it misuse it? In the next minimal example the pagenumbers are not reset after the third page, as I would expect. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \starttext \setuppagenumber[number=1,state=start] page 1\page page 2\page page 3\page \setuppagenumber[number=1] page 4\page page 5\page page 6\page \stoptext

linenumbering per page
by Martin 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi, I would like to place line numbers in a multipage document. \startlinenumbering lots of text filling several pages \stoplinenumbering What I would like to have, and fail to find, is an option to that would restart the numbering on every page as I do not need to reference each line. e.g. finding line 15 on page 6 is fine. \setuplinenumbering doesn't seem to provide an option. Anything I can do? Thanks! Martin

itemize behaviour
by Meer, H. van der 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

I do not understand the workings of the itemize. What I want is two nested itemlists. The outer one unpacked, the inner one packed. In the inner one the itemlist should be joinedup with the text before it. I do not get this working, see the examples. The inner list is separated from the "Intro to inner list". It looks like the joinedup in the second example has no effect, because deleting it makes no difference. Switching the joinedup over to the outer itemize in the third example pulls everything together and destroys the unpacked of the first list. How to achieve the following? ---------------------------------- - Intro to inner list o one inner list o two inner list - second outer item ---------------------------------- Hans van der Meer \starttext \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][unpacked][symbol=4] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][unpacked][symbol=5] \startitemize \startitem Intro to inner list. \startitemize \startitem one inner list \stopitem \startitem two inner list \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem second outer item \stopitem \stopitemize \blank\thinrule\blank \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][unpacked][symbol=4] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][packed,joinedup][symbol=5] \startitemize \startitem Intro to inner list. \startitemize \startitem one inner list \stopitem \startitem two inner list \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem second outer item \stopitem \stopitemize \blank\thinrule\blank \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][unpacked,joinedup][symbol=4] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][packed][symbol=5] \startitemize \startitem Intro to inner list. \startitemize \startitem one inner list \stopitem \startitem two inner list \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem second outer item \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext
