It seems that margin notes when called from inside \startcombination..\stopcombination do not reach the margin of the paper. Instead they use a margin inside the combination. Is that as intended or unavoidable? It was my objective to have them at the edge of the paper. See minimal example below. % Testing margin notes from inside combinations. % Margin notes do not leave the combinations box. \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \starttext \setupcombinations[location=middle] test\crlf \startcombination[2*1] {abcdefg\inright{m1}}{l1} {abcdefg\inright{m2}}{l2} \stopcombination \crlf \stoptext

Strange problem related to \usemodule
by Hongwen Qiu 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi, I have access to three machines both running GNU/Linux x86-64, I call them "Laptop", "Desktop" and "Remote" respectively here on. The "Laptop" has full access to the internet, so I always install and upgrade my ConTeXt Standalone on it when I'm home. At workplace, I can surfer the internet with the "Desktop" while the RSYNC port is blocked. I only can access the "Remote" through ssh from the "Desktop" without root privilege and can not access the internet. So, I always copied the ConTeXt standalone from my "Laptop" onto my "Desktop", and from my "Desktop" onto "Remote" if necessary. Then, I'll delete the cache before I set the PATH to the appropriate location and run context --make and mtxrun --generate. So the ConTeXt standalones are almost identical on both my "Desktop" and "Remote". And the following minimal example just works fine on my "Desktop" but failed on the "Remote", =========== Minimal Example ============================ \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[RUBY][syntax=ruby] \starttext \startRUBY puts "Hello" \stopRUBY \stoptext ========================================================= Actually, on "Remote", whatever module I use, it will prompt the Undefined Control Sequence error regarding the first command I used from that module with the module loaded correctly. Attached is the error log accompany the above minimal example. So, what can be the problem with my "Remote". TIA. for any help.

Possible bug with \date in french
by Romain Diss 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi, Since a recent upgrade of the beta the \date command give "day+ octobre 2011" if \mainlanguage[fr] is set. Minimal example: \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \date \language[en] (\date) \stoptext A rapid search lead me to these lines (560-571) in "lang-def.mkiv": \installlanguage [\s!fr] [\c!spacing=\v!packed, (...) \c!date={\v!day+,\v!space,\v!month,\v!space,\v!year}] where the "day+" appears. Several lines further (line 670), one found: \defineconversion [\s!fr] [\v!day+] [\frordinaldaynumber] but I have not find any file defining "\frordinaldaynumber" (except "lang- ita.mkii" for MKII). Is there something to fix in the beta or is there something I missed ? Thank you in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

doublesided layout with floating text blocks wrapped in the main text
by Alexandre Leray 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi, how can I insert text blocks of texts of half the width of the text zone (+ gutter) tand make the main text flow wrap around them? I'd like the blocks to be aligned on the outer side of the page (the document is doublesided). My guess was to use floats but I don't need captions. Could you give me a snipet of how i'd need to do it? You'll find a quick example of what I have in mind at this address: http://stdin.fr/wrapped_text.pdf Thanks! Alex

Any (other) ConTeXt users in Finland?
by Mari Voipio 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hello All! Inspired by the recent ConTeXt meeting where I again enjoyed meeting other users as well as the developers, I'm wondering if there are any other ConTeXt users in Finland? And if so, would you be interested in a mini-meeting for an afternoon or evening, possibly at my work in Vantaa? If nothing else, we could tell each other what we do with ConTeXt and get ideas and with luck even be able to sort out some problems. I'm far from the nerdiest person in the world, but I could probably manage a short "introduction to ConTeXt", if you are interested but haven't gotten started or if you know people who'd like to try but don't want to do it by themselves. BTW, if any ConTeXt users (Finnish or others) pass by Helsinki airport or the Greater Helsinki area, you are welcome to informally pop into our office and I'll give you coffee/tea and cookies (if we have any) and any ConTeXt help I can give. Just check on this in advance as I'm not always there, but often can arrange things if notified a few days earlier. Terveisin/Best Regards, Mari Voipio K-Patents Oy (in Vantaanportti, just 5 minutes from the airport)

Re: [NTG-context] Strange problem related to \usemodule

It seems that if I copied all of the module files under the current directory, it works perfectly. And of course mtxrun --locate t-vim.tex gives the correct location just as indicated by my previously attached log file. And there's only one environment variable corresponding to TeX settings: $ env |grep -i TEX PATH=/ifs2/S2PH/qiuhw/opt/context-1008/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:.... (It's very long) Actually not only the modules under tex/texmf-modules not work on the "Remote", but also modules under tex/texmf-local don't work either.

metapost not adding picture
by Meer, H. van der 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

I have this question on the implementation of metapost. The following program ends in an error: \startMPpage picture v; draw origin--(1cm,1cm); v = currentpicture; clearit; draw (1cm,0)--(0,1cm); currentpicture := currentpicture + v; \stopMPpage The error is: ! Not implemented: (picture)+(picture). Yet Knuth's metafont book in Chapter 13 tells me, quote: "Pictures can be added or subtracted;" Is the current metafont implementation lacking this feature? Will it be implemented in the near future? Hans van der Meer

New STIX font version
by Tobias Burnus 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hi all, you might be interested in hearing that there is a new there is a new version of the STIX fonts (since 1h ago) - or rather a beta version: 1.1.0-beta1. See: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/files/STIXv1.1.0-beta1.zip/downlo… "The beta period will remain open until December 1, 2011." - Thus, one has still 5 months time to comment on the bugs. (Or are that two moths? With STIX ETA one never knows ...) As reminder: STIX fonts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIX_Fonts_project) are a large collection of Times-like math fonts, created by several publishing houses in a rather slow process. A year ago, 1.0 was relased and now with 1.1b1 is finally released. Seemingly, one can now use it directly such that one does not need the XITS fonts anymore. (Cf. http://typophile.com/node/71171) From the release notes: "What is new in this release? The original Version 1.0 STIX was packaged as 29 distinct font files. Version 1.1.0-‐beta1 provides the same set of glyphs packaged as a set of 4 text fonts and 1 symbol font. This new packaging will facilitate the use of the font on more desktop applications, and will specifically allow the symbol font to be used in recent versions of the Microsoft Word Equation Editor." "In addition, an update was made to address compatibility issues between the font set and the Windows PostScript driver." Besides those changes, some a (very) few glyphs have been added and some smaller changes have been done. Tobias

Counter for section heads
by Aditya Mahajan 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

I want to obtain the total number of sections at a particular depth, and thought that I could get that using \laststructurecounter{....}. But, I cannot find the name of the counter associated with sections. Is there a macro or a lua function that returns the name of a counter for the current section (that can then be used by \laststructurecounter)? Is there any other way to find the number of sections at the current depth. For example, this document ~~~ \section {one} \subsection{1} \subsection{2} \subsection{3} ~~~ has one section at depth 1 and three sectons at depth 2. Aditya

new beta
by Hans Hagen 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. Apart from some fixes the following has been added/changed. Some are side effects of discussions at the context meeting. - Default sorting now mixes upper and lowercase. - Some presentation styles had problems loading due to changes in the structure commands. - A few improvements to the (mixed) scite lexers / spell checkers (plus an experimental pdf lexer). - Export of some math scripts (ssty related) .. an other buglet mojca and I noticed has to wait for a luatex engine fix. - An extra alignment option 'last' to center the last line. - Missing references are now listed in the log file. - Segments can be specified as n:* (as n:100 looks somewhat weird). - Virtual math has been adapted to the latest insights in open type math. However, the biggest new thing is adapted cross document referencing. This was already possible but we could not yet load external references (as in mkii). See http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-1103.pdf for how it works in mkiv. The test files cross-*.tex demonstrate a couple of things. If one uses the project structure, then one can process a component of a product and it will pick up references from the main product as well as (given normal circumstances) start at the right chapter number and page. Of course this is only a convenience option (for proofing) as there is a dependency on the state of the parent product. Given the fact that cross referencing data is spread over several data structures this was a somewhat complex exercise. As a side effect the tuc file now uses its own (temporary) namespace. Hopefully nothing breaks due to these changes. Hans ps. Wolfgang: strc-ref is now a mkvi file. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Error: \rootfloatparameter has an extra }
by zs 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hello, trying to recompile older work with recent context, strange error appeared: ! Argument of \rootfloatparameter has an extra }. I extracted minimal example, see below. It seems, it has something to do with position of first image. When the code is slightly changed (removing/adding x or image, font size change), compilation runs well. Similar error was reported few days ago (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg58816.html) but the patch has no effect here. ------- minimal example compiled with "context example.tex" -------- \starttext \setupbodyfont[rm,13pt] \subsection[]{x} \startitemize[] \item x \item x \item x \stopitemize \subsection{x} x x x x x \placefigure[][]{}{ \externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth] } x \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \placefigure[][]{}{% \externalfigure[cow][] } \subsection[]{S} x x \stoptext

I have the following questions: The executable pdfdde, resp. their incarnations pdfopen and pdfclose know an option --rx. Is this necessary to use acrobat reader 10? pdfdde --help outputs: Beware: only documents opened by `pdfopen' can be closed by `pdfclose'. But if I open my compiled file manually (not by pdfopen), --autopdf works ok. It closes the reader and opens him with the new compiled file and so on. So, an initally open with pdfopen does not work! How is pdfopen/close working? Can someone explain? pdfdde seems to be based on ------------------- DDEOpen.c This file is furnished to you by Adobe Systems Incorporated under the terms of the Acrobat (r) Plug-ins Software Development Kit License Agreement.

\doifmode and friends
by Meer, H. van der 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

I find that "abc \doifmode{mode}{text} more text" can introduce extra whitespace. I conclude therefore that there is no \ignorespaces at work here. As a consequence the \doifmode does not completely disappear if mode is not satisfied. Is this intentional or should this behaviour be changed? Hans van der Meer

\cite with authornum and extras
by Stefan Müller 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hi, please consider the following example. \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \starttext \cite[alternative=authornum, extras={, p.\ 1}][Eijkhout1991] \cite[alternative=authoryear, extras={, p.\ 1}][Eijkhout1991] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext In the cite with "alternative=authornum" the "extras"-key seems to be ignored, I only get "Eijkhout [4]" while on the next line I get "Eijkhout (1991, p. 1)" with the page number as intended. What am I doing wrong? Also, if I comment the \placepublications line I get "Eijkhout [[error 2]]"... Thanks for any hints! Best regards, Stefan

Bibliography related questions
by Alexandre Krispin 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

Hello, I am trying to get references working with Context as well as it did with Biblatex. Since I didn't find anything helpful in the documentation and the mailing-list, I ask here. My setup at the moment is the following : \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=test] \setuppublications[alternative=apa-fr] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=darkgreen] - Can I get hyperlinks working with references in Context ? For example, with Biblatex with a citation and its reference, if I select the authoryear style, then I get : "my citation" (author year). And the reader can click on the year and be redirected to the reference in the bibliography. The year is a hyperlink. Can we get the same behaviour with Context ? - Also, I have tried to get the following pattern for my references : (author year, page number). It is the pattern of the Chicago manual of style (http://library.williams.edu/citing/styles/chicago2.php) To get this style, I have tried for example the following : \cite[extras={, p. 41}][guerrien2008theorie] But instead of the pattern (author year, page number), I get (author, year, page number). Can I remove the comma between author and year ? - Finally, is my setup wrong ? Indeed, with the setup I have copy-pasted above my bibliography remains empty. Sincerely, Alexandre Krispin

Finding Minion and Myriad
by john Culleton 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

These two fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/OTF. In that directory they are listed in fonts.dir. I want to use simplefonts to use Minion as the base font. I ran the various commands described in the Wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX and got the two fonts listed in the font database. I put the following in my MKIV context file: ... \usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module \setmainfont[minionproregular] % %\whitespace[line] \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont[minionproregular,14pt] ... Now I get a new error message: ------------------------- mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value) Any suggestions? -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Stack size
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hallo, next problem. I got ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=10000]. I tried to increase this in texmf.cnf, but this is not recognized. I tried to do the same in the texmfcnf.lua with the same negative result. It is a try and error. How is the 'modern' way to do this? BTW, shouldn't be 10000 for the stack size enough? This file is a letter and compiled ok before my update today. Wolfgang

bug in \setuparranging
by Yue Wang 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Hi, Hans: There's a bug in \setuparranging. The following case is easy to be understood: - I try to typeset "zapf" into a A4 landscape paper - For the final output pdf, I want to rotate all the pages by 270 degrees. This sounds strange. But it is useful in vertical typesetting of CJK language. (for example, use xetex font definition's :vertical feature to rotate all the fonts used, typeset on normal paper, and rotate the page back. I certainly hope someday I can use MKIV's muti-dir omega features, but now it's broken so this is the best way I can find) The code is listed below: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4] \setuppaper [nx=1,ny=1] \setuparranging [XY, rotated, 270] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbackgrounds [page][page][background=screen] \setuppagenumbering [state=stop] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext The bug: - in MKIV, it output no pages at all - in MKII (both xetex and pdftex), the output page is not, however, A4. but rather a square page with width=height=A4 height. I hope this bug can be fixed soon. By the way, are there other ways to rotate pages other than setuparranging? From my daily use I found setup arranging is pretty buggy. sometimes it even affects the layout of the contents. So most time I have to compile a pdf, and than use setup arranging to rearrange the pdf again to make the contents safe. Yue Wang

This doesn’t work, yet (The “t-”-infix is not, as with \usemodule, truncated). As three of my modules come with an mtx-script I just wanted to know if this will be implemented and, if yes, when we can expect it. (For me, there is no hurry as I’m quite busy otherwise. But inclusion into TL is stalled because of this for the time being.)
