\notin not working
by "Stefan Müller" 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Dear list, with one of the last versions (I'm currently using ConTeXt standalone 2012003005 19:49 MkIV) \notin is not working anymore. See \starttext $a \notin b \not\in c$ \stoptext It seems that \notin refers to \not. Is this intended behavior or a bug? Best regards, Stefan -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!

At the moment, the baseline of the first line of the margin note aligns with the baseline of the main text line. Even in the general case, I think it would look better to have the top aligned. In the margin ruby, this presents a slight problem as a second ruby will now look as though it belongs to the next line. Is there a way to align the top of the lines, or is there a hack that just shifts a margin note by a few pts? (There is a "low" flag, but no high flag, I think...) Thank you. Severin

I'm just thinking of annotating one or two words per line, which in an appropriately small font size could just be stacked at the end of the line in order of occurrence. Problems would only arise if one line contained 3 or more words to be annotated, and the next line also contained one... Would this be possible to implement? Would this just be a \defineinright?

positioning of backgrounds
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi all, I may have missed something here: I'm aware that processing backgrounds has changed. The following example places the background layer completely different in the current beta and when processed with a version from November: \definelayer[test][x=1mm,y=1mm,width=\paperwidth,height=22mm] \setlayer[test][x=104mm,y=11mm]{\externalfigure[cow][width=56mm]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext Hello \stoptext Is that to be expected (i.e. should I adapt my letter template which positions a university logo on the page), or is that a temporary glitch and has to be fixed eventually? All best Thomas

\setuppagenumber problem

The failure in the cross-reference may be due to a bug involving \startcomponent, if I understand Wolfgang correctly, and was wondering if the same might be true for \setuppagenumber[...]. If it is not, how may I fix the pagination? I am running the latest ConTeXT standalone (MKIV). Alan

Text Indentation and Space Around Headers
by Emmanuel Asante 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi All, I want to indent all text in a document except the chapter header text by a given amount. I have used the following to achieve it: \setupnarrower[left=3cm] and \startnarrower[left] \stopnarrower But I have the feeling that there has to be a better way of doing it. Secondly, how do I control the space around headers? I would like to reduce the big between the chapter header and the first paragraph. Any help will be very much appreciated. Regards, Emmanuel

Combination: no gap between cells?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, I'd like to print several frames of a precise size, one after other, e.g. 2 per row, 2 rows. I'm trying to use combination for this purpose - but I'd need to suppress any horizontal and vertical gap between cells. Is there any option which would cause this? My code so far: ---- t-Prn.mkiv \starttext \startcombination[2*2] {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} \stopcombination \stoptext ---- Something like "\startcombination[space=none][2*2]"... I've overlooked wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Combinations) but no such an option... TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Style file for iPad?
by Alasdair McAndrew 07 Mar '12

If this has been asked before, my apologies. Is there a style file for formatting PDFs from ConTeXt for reading on an iPad? So far I've just used \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[backspace=20mm, width=160mm, topspace=20mm, top=0mm, header=0mm, footer=10mm, bottomspace=20mm,bottom=0mm, textheight=250mm] which works fine - for printing - but isn't optimized for the iPad. If anybody has any suggestions or examples, I'd be very grateful of them!

Footnotes gone

07 Mar '12

Hey list, For the first time in several months, today's nightly build actually managed to digest my book without crashing or bailing. I'm using 2012.03.05. There is one thing I noticed though and that is all of my footnotes are now invisible. The number next to them is visible, but the text itself is black on black (my page colour is black). I am preparing my footnotes as such: \definecolor[colour_page][r=0,g=0,b=0] \definecolor[colour_text][r=0.754,g=0.516,b=0.324] \definecolor[colour_footnote_background][colour_page] \definecolor[colour_footnote_text][colour_text] \setupfootnotes [color=colour_footnote_text, backgroundcolor=colour_footnote_background] This was working in previous builds, but it could be someone changed the method to alter the footnote text's colour. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Simple bibliography
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hello ConTeXist. Unfortunately, I give up. The standard way to use the bibliography fail (output still is not sorted in the order they came citing). I can not even after many hours of testing and experimenting get win. Therefore I decide that I am looking now other ways. Does anyone have experience with simplebibliography in contextgarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Bibliography)? Solve someone something like that? Has anybody a simple minimal example? From information from wikipedia I do not make functional example (especially the first case). Second case is very simple and understandable, but now I looking for a way to automate the sorting (that the order is not what I require). Or exist something similar? Can you please advise me a way to get the better of a very simple bibliography without using standart bibliography system of ConTeXt? Sorry to inundating these bibliographic questions, but I need to somehow resolve my problem in the near future and looking for every possibility, where to get something that would help me. Thanx Jaroslav Here is my minimal example from ConTeXtgarden (second option). It shows (without automation) as the need. \definereferenceformat[Cite][left={[},right={]}] \defineitemgroup [bibliography] [levels=1] \setupitemgroup [bibliography] [symbol=n, left={[}, right={]}, width=1.5em, stopper=, itemalign=flushleft, inbetween={\blank[2pt]} ] \appendtoks\let\bibitem\itemgroupitem\to\itemgroupcommands \starttext This is \Cite[4] and \Cite[2] \Cite[3] \section{Bibliography} \startbibliography \bibitem[4] (4) Hashimoto S., Sato F., Fabrication and mechanical properties of sintered leucite body, Journal of the Ceramics Society of Japan 113(7), 2005, 488-490 \bibitem[2] (2) IPS Classic, Scientific Documentation, Ivocar Vivadent, July 2003 \bibitem[1] (1) Thermal expansion, chapter 2, The Materials Information Society \bibitem[3] (3) Taylor D., Henderson C.M.B., The thermal expansion of the leucite group of minerals, The American mineralogist, September-october 1968, 1476-1489 \stopbibliography \stoptext

Itemize Prefixes

I've tried defining the behaviour with... \defineenumeration[article] [location=top, text=Article, between=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank] \setupenumerations[article][R] ...but the problem is that after a list of items provided with matching \startarticle \stoparticle pairs, the last count persists to the next list of items which should start at 'I' again.

Bug in ConTeXt? Conflict in titles, sections and bibliography (was bibliography problems)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hello ConTeXist. I present an bug with which I have been seeing over the last few versions of Context. In collaboration with Thomas, who helped me find the perfect minimal example, I managed to finally find out what is the core of my problem. But it is perhaps deeper than at first glance. Bibliographic system is today (last version of standalone) in conflict with results of \title and \section commands. I show in the example below, how strange it works ConTeXt, while using inserting of the bibliography together with title and section commands. I want show three cases of behavior of ConTeXt: As you see below then: 1. When document is both without Title and without Section (both commands are commented) then you see a problem with list of bibliography - list of figures and list of bibliography are mixed. 2. When document is with Title (uncomment \title command) then you see that bibliography is not working. You get errors in bibliography links and ConTeXt do not include list of bibliography. 3. When document is with Section (uncomment \section command) then you see that all is working now without any problems - links are right and list of bibliography is correct too. Additionally, you can track down and how it behaves ConTeXt when inserting figure with or without captions (in case 1). It really is a bug somewhere or doing something wrong? Thanx Jaroslav Here is minimal example: \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications[alternative=ams, sorttype=cite] \starttext %\section{Section} % When you uncomment this line you see, that everything is OK, both bibliography links and list of bibliography works fine \title{Title} % When you uncomment this line you see, that bibliobraphy links are broken and ConTeXt do not include list of bibliography Citations are \cite[hh2010b] and \cite[hh2010a]. \placefigure[force][fig1]{Caption of figure \cite[Eijkhout1991] with citation} % get "mixing" problem {\externalfigure[fig1]} % \placefigure[force, none][fig1]{} % Figure without caption - no problem with bibliography (both links and "mixing") % {\externalfigure[fig1]} %\placefigure[force][fig1]{Caption of figure without citation} % you see, that problem does not depend on whether the citation is inserted or not % {\externalfigure[fig1]} \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext

Paragraph beginning with { doesn't flow around a float

Hello everybody, I found a problem with text flowing around a float. As far as I understand the problem, if a paragraph begins with a {, it doesn't flow around a float.

Suspendisse lectus tortor, dignissim sit amet, adipiscing nec, ultricies sed, dolor. Cras elementum ultrices diam. Maecenas ligula massa, varius a, semper congue, euismod non, mi. Proin porttitor, orci nec nonummy molestie, enim est eleifend mi, non fermentum diam nisl sit amet erat. Duis semper. Duis arcu massa, scelerisque vitae, consequat in, pretium a, enim. Pellentesque congue. Ut in risus volutpat libero pharetra tempor. Cras vestibulum bibendum augue. Praesent egestas leo in pede. Praesent blandit odio eu enim. \stoptext Everything works fine with paragraphs that don't start with a {. I found the following workaround: \hskip0mm{\bf Lorem} ipsum dolor ...

overfull hbox on items
by Meer, H. van der 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

This setting gives an overfull hbox of exactly 3 points: \setupitemgroup[itemize][each] [joinedup,packed] [symbol=n,distance=3pt, align=right,itemalign=flushright, stopper={.\,} ] In the logfile: Overfull \hbox (3.0pt too wide) detected at line 7 Changing to distance=4pt makes the hbox 4pt too wide. Changing to distance=0pt (or delete parameter) makes the hbox fit. Why is this? Apart from cluttering the logfile, I guess this hbox overflow signals something that can be bettered.

Project, product, component...
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hello, I'm trying to use advantages of project/product/component structure. Suppose having a very simple example (both files in the same directory): ---- Prod.mkiv \startproduct PPP \component Comp.mkiv Product \stopproduct ---- And: ---- Comp.mkiv \startcomponent CCC Component \stopcomponent ---- When I compile Comp.mkiv, I get (successfully) text "Component". When I compile Prod.mkiv, I get (successfully) text "Product Component". So the question - what are "PPP" and "CCC" identifiers (following \startproduct and \starcomponent respectively) used or intended for? - So far, it seems to me that I refer to file names (as with \input) when working with components rather than their ids assigned by \startcomponent or \startproduct. What would be a situation when I'd need to use ids "CCC" or "PPP" (or later, those assigned by "\startproduct PROD" and "\startenvironment ENV")? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Float on opposite page
by Charles 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi, I have a problem with float positioning. I would like to have text on even pages and text on odd pages. I tried: - "\placetable[opposite]" but then the tables are not included. - "\placetable[rightpage]" but then each table is on a new page. I would like to have my figures/tables on a new even page, but if 2 figures/tables fit on one page, they should not be on two different pages but together on the same even page (I was thinking "opposite" should do that).

Re: [NTG-context] Is it bibliography really problem for MKIV?

I had a look at your examples. First, if the sequence of cited items is important for you (and it is because you want sorttype=cite), I wouldn't put citations and figures into a buffer, that's asking for trouble. That leaves the problem with a \cite command within a caption. This looks like a real bug to me; I hope Hans has the time to look into it. The minimal example is: \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications[alternative=ams, sorttype=cite] \starttext citations are \cite[hh2010b] and \cite[hh2010a]. \placefigure[force][fig1]{Caption of figure \cite[Eijkhout1991]} {\externalfigure[fig1]} \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext All best Thomas

Is it bibliography really problem for MKIV?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hello ConTeXist.. I have an unusual question: Is it bibliography really such a big problem for MKIV or I am unable to do? Do you have some experience in the bibliography at MKIV? Can you refer me to a source of information about this? Submitter thesis has a very strict requirement to the list of bibliography. The numbering of bibliographic items must be in the same order in which items are used in the text. Moreover, in the form of AMS is, [1], [2], etc. I've tried many hours, but I am absolutely not able to achieve the required form. I do not believe that I will eventually have to write a thesis in LaTeX because of the stupid request. May possibly be some way around? It occurred to me to do an emergency way. I want redefine of the \cite macro to macro \CITE. The \CITE macro put me list the order bibliographic items and then I arrange manually a list of bibliographic entries. Or exist any external tools for that do it? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

Length of section line in a table of contents
by Charles 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi, In the following example, the section titles are long. In the table of contents, the section titles are written like normal paragraph (ending at the rightmost, with the page number). With an older version of Context beta (about a year ago), the paragraphs with the section title were shorter and not overlapping with the page number. How can I obtain again that property? Thanks Charles \starttext \section{Text and more text and even more text and still more text till it stops} \section{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, maecenas malesuada, ut tellus ac a egestas donec, lectus aliquam, purus orci fermentum porta sed.

Overprint of footnotes
by Honza Hejzl 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi I am trying to shape my pdf for preflight. There is a problem with overprint (normal in case of a black text on a white page – 1/1 printing). If I use: \definecolor[cmykblack][c=0,m=0,y=0,k=1] \setupcolors[ rgb=no, cmyk=yes, intent=overprint, textcolor=cmykblack ] … everything seems to be ok but footnotes. With some tweaking with commands like \def\over#1{\startcolorintent[overprint]#1\stopcolorintent} it is possible to (at least) make those tiny numbers of footnotes overprinted. But I am not able to do it with text (using of \textcommand does not work). Is there any simple solution for that? [ Answers like "What do you need that for? or "Ask them if they are capable to print it as it stands." are forbidden! :o) ] Thanks, Honza Hejzl
