metapost to pdf on the fly
by Meer, H. van der 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

I would like to generate metapost figures in separate pdf-files (in some convenient directory, they are reused elsewhere). This as part of a project structure. I know that on a separate run such a pdf can be generated with: context figurefile running on input \input some-metapost-inclusions \starttext \startMPpage .. \stopMPpage \stoptext But the idea is to do it on the fly while typesetting a project (using mode=*first to prevent further iterations): .. \component figurefile .. And in the figurefile \startcomponent figurefile \environment some-metapost-inclusions \starttext .. BUT THEN WHAT? As such it is not sufficient for the goal proposed. Can this be done at all?

Float placement problem
by Pontus Lurcock 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

Hello, I've recently updated my standalone (32-bit Linux) ConTeXT from 2011.02.25 to 2011.09.20, and I'm now having some trouble with float placement. I'm using MkIV. I'm trying to have figures protruding into the outer margins with a double-sided layout, as described here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Floating_Objects#Protruding_Floats_in_Double-… Here is my minimal example: \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}] \setupfloat[figure][location=inner] \showframe \starttext % An extra page. \page[yes] \dorecurse{4}{ \placefigure[]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}} \stoptext With version 2011.02.25 this produces the desired result; with 2011.09.20, the first figure is placed correctly, and all subsequent figures protrude in the same direction, whether they're on an even or odd page. So in the given example they all protrude to the right. If an extra page is inserted at the start so that the first figure is on an even page, they all protrude to the left. Does anyone have any ideas or insights? Thanks in advance, Pont

disabling onum in url
by Pablo Rodríguez 02 Oct '11

Hi there, I'm a ConTeXt newbie that I have the following options and a command for URLs in the document preamble (what comes before \starttext [I don't know if it is named so in ConTeXt]): \definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=,style= em,contrastcolor=,focus=standard] \def\href#1{\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]} My question is: how can I disable old style numbers for the \href command?

double line spacing in list (table of contents, publication list)
by Stefan Müller 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

Hi list, how can I get double line spacing in the table of contents and in the publication list? I tried "\setupcombinedlist[content][after=\blank]" but this produces to much vertical spacing. "\setupinterlinespace[big]" doesn't influence those lists. I'm using 201100920 00:09 MKIV standalone. Thanks in advance for any help! Stefan.

Visual debugging
by Otso Helenius 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

Hi, I'm in a need for more visual debugging aids. I tried the supp-vis module, but it did not give enough cues. I guess the ruledhbox is bound by ascender and descender height vertically, but I'd like to see also the cap height and x-height lines. Is it possible? Plus, is it possible to display the individual box around each letter similar to Knuth's TeXBook page 65? Best regards, Otso Helenius

handling fonts with missing math (was: math signs in itemize)

On Sat, Sep 24, 2011 at 11:29, R. Ermers wrote: > > Snippets from log file: > > ! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. Independent of everything else that has been said in that thread: wouldn't it be nice to simply fall back on Latin Modern for math when some font doesn't provide accompanying math glyphs instead of giving up in the middle of the run? Of course that will give suboptimal result (in particular everything inside $math$ will be in LM as opposed to original font), but at least it won't complain about a missing $\bullet$ and one can always use $\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}$ or something similar :).

Font selection ranges
by Hans Aberg 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

I want to define an environment for computer code including non-ASCII characters, using Xits or STIXGeneral except in the ASCII range, where some monospace font like Courier should be used. If I do: \setupbodyfont[xits,10pt] \definetyping[code] \setuptyping[code][margin=yes] \starttext \startcode for ∀i, j ∈ I do a(i, j) ≔ b(i, j) \stopcode \stoptext Then the math characters won't show. They will show using \setuptyping[code][style=normal,margin=yes] but then the ASCII range isn't monospace. In LaTeX, one can use \setmathfont[range={"0001-...,}] to set ranges for fonts, but I could not find that for ConTeXt. Hans

HTML export
by Charles 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi, I am new to Context (coming from Latex) and very much like it: very nice job! I would like to export my document to HTML. I am only interested by the basic formatting (like fonts, size...) and sections. I carefully read this page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/epub As far as I understood and seen the font and style switching (like \it) are ignored. First question: is it possible to avoid that behavior? If not, it brings me to my second question: I am using the bib module to manage a bibtex bibliography. The formatting of the reference section is done internally and include some style (italic) which isn't present in the XHTML output. How can have it present somehow? Thanks Charles

readfile not understood
by Meer, H. van der 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

I do not understand while \readfile behaves differently from \input with regard to TeX-code processing. I have the following code: \readfile{metapost-setup} %(file with metapost inclusions) \starttext \startMPpage .. \stopMPpage \stoptext Replace the \readfile by: \input ../../../metapost-setup %(file with metapost inclusions) works ok. But with \readfile seems to be skipped silently, that is without any sign of it in the log. The convenience of \readfile should be, if I understand correctly, that it searches upwards to the root of directory tree. Which makes the series of ../'s unnecessary and allows for easily pushing the tex-files further down when their number grows. Can it be explained? Hans van der Meer

bug with floats and linenumbering (mkiv) ?

If the float is placed inside a paragraph the linenumbering jumps to the left or right. But this happens only on right-hand pages. Here is a short example: \setuplayout[width=120mm] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplinenumbering[location=outer,method=page] \starttext \startlinenumbering \placefigure[left,1*hang,none]{} {\externalfigure[cow][width=0.2\textwidth]} \input tufte \placefigure[right,1*hang,none]{} {\externalfigure[cow][width=0.2\textwidth]} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering \stoptext It seems to me that it is a bug.

StretchedBox broken in mkiv
by Michael Guravage 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Several years ago Hans cooked up a fix using \CapStretch that allowed me to stretch words. That early version of \stretchedbox appeared in later ConTeXt versions as \StretchedBox as described in strc-sec.mkii and strc-ren.mkiv. This feature worked in the ConTeXt version dated 2011.07.26, but does not work in my current ConTeXt version dated 2011.09.10. I have attached an example file that works with mkii and with earlier mkiv versions, but not with the current mkiv. I am curious to know what has changed to break this functionality. Initially, I thought it had to do with \setuphead's definition of 'deeptextcommand', but since there are no difference in the files strc-sec-mkii and strc-ren.mkiv between these two releases, the reason must lie elsewhere. If anyone can explain what has changed, an more importantly how to reinstate it, I would be most grateful. With kind regards, Michael Guravage

xml processing in lua

Hi all, after boring people with xml processing in TeX at the meeting in Bassenge, I'm looking for new challenges and am trying my hand at processing xml in lua.

Here's an example: \startbuffer[test] <a> <b>One</b> <c>Two</c> </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:setups \xmlsetsetup{main}{a|b|c}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:setups} % \startxmlsetups xml:a % \xmltext{#1}{/c} % \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:a \startluacode context(xml.text("#1", "/b")) \stopluacode \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext From what I thought I understood from the source, I believed that ll. 14-16 (the commented part) and ll. 18-22 should be exactly equivalent, but that's not the case. A little hint might get me started... All best, and thanks Thomas

I run into this problem : I've defined the following layout for giving work for my students : \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[ backspace=3cm, topspace=1.5cm, rightmargin=0cm,leftmargin=1.3cm, width=15cm, leftmargindistance=0.2cm, height=26.7cm, header=0cm, footer=1cm ] \definelayout[1][ topspace=5.2cm, height=23cm, textheight=22cm] \definelayout[2][reset] The purpose is to give some space on the first page to put a layer with a big title (it's for a document full of exercices, an example could be found at http://ishtar.msi.unilim.fr/uploads/media/Reseaux_I_TD_1_2011_2012.pdf) But, after having the correct layout for the first page, the second page gives me a reduced textheight : the text don't flow on the lower part of the page. That could be explain as the textheight variable is not computed for the second page. This is very annoying. I've found a workaround by using the same layout for the whole document and put some blank lines on the first page. I use the following version "ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKII fmt: 2011.8.31 int: english/english".

Frame around float and its caption, how to?
by Stefan Müller 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

Hi list, I'm using 201100920 00:09 MkIV standalone. Some time ago Marcin Borkowski asked [1] on this list about framing floats together with their captions. It seems to be unanswered and now I stumbled upon a similar problem. I want to have a figure with a caption together in a frame as wide as the surrounding text, aka \textwidth and the caption filling the available horizontal space. I.e. I want something like \setupcaption[width=\textwidth] \starttext \placefigure[here]{\input tufte}{\externalfigure[cow]} \stoptext with a frame around it. I see two approaches here and none of them gives me what I need. First using \setupfloat[frame=on] only frames the cow and not the caption. I think I can manually correct this with "framedepth" and "width" but doing something "manually" in ConTeXt seems not like a good idea. Am I overlooking something about \setupfloat? Secondly, I tried \framed{...} around \placefigure but there are two issues here: How do I setup the caption to fit nicely into the frame? "\setupcaption[width=\textwidth]" is to much because of the frame spacing... And there is another serious issue, see the following minimal example. The frame is where the figure was placed but is empty, because the figure floated to the next page. \setupcaption[width=max] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte \par} \framed{\placefigure[here][fig:muh]{\input tufte}{\externalfigure[cow]}} \input tufte \stoptext I have no idea how to procede with this. Hopefully someone on this list knows how to do this right. Thanks in advance, Stefan. [1] http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090724.123610.ddad55af.en.html

Secondly, apologies again for not supplying a minimal example - this would have helped me track down what's causing my issue. \mainlanguage[en-gb] %% Remove me for labels %\mainlanguage[en] %% or use me instead \definefloat[picture][pictures] % Define our fancy boxout \starttext \placepicture{This is my caption}{Some float text} \stoptext The above will fail to generate a caption. Removing the \mainlanguage command will cause the label to appear as expected. Using \setuplabeltext[en-gb][picture=Picture ] will fail to work. Changing the main language to 'en' or 'nl' will cause the label to reappear. I'll change the main language to 'en' for the time being. Thanks again for the help, Felix

Console Verbosity & Optimized Output Generation
by Kip Warner 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Hey folks, Two questions. Is there a certain set of command line switches recommended for cleaning up the console output when ConTeXt is executed? It is very verbose and I only need to see warnings and error messages. The typesetting source to a book I am working on is composed of many individual files. When I change one, the whole book needs to be regenerated which takes a long time to do. Is there some way for ConTeXt to cache work already done and take that into account when it is run? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

[PATCH] Small improvement for 'setuptex'
by Vladimir Lomov 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Hello. I'm using standard 'setuptex' file to set apropriate variables for my shell. I'd like to suggest small improvement for this file. See attached patch. P.S. The real use of this file is in my shell initialization scripts. It is sourced in specific way so I faced a situation when 'export' is required. Besides that unsetting unused variables also good habit to interactive session. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- Violence is molding.

Captions
by Felix Ingram 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

(apologies if you see this twice - posted from wrong account earlier) I'm defining a new float that I'd like to caption with its own label. Something like: \definefloat[picture][pictures] I'd then like the caption to read: Picture 1 - my caption text Picture 2 - etc At the moment I've used \setupcaption[picture][way=bytext] to sort out the numbering but I cannot figure out how to do the label. Any ideas? (Apologies for lack of minimal - afk atm) Felix Felix

t-vim: additional space in \inlineX{}
by Romain Diss 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Hi, I tried the t-vim module today and I had a line-break problem with \inlineX. I found the thread started by Peter Münster (last week). So I downloaded the last context beta and this problem is gone. But I got another problem : there is an unwanted additional space at the begining of the \inlineX content. See this minimal example (copy paste from Peter Münster mail): \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[C][syntax=c] \starttext bla \inlineC{void func(void)} bla \stoptext Thanks for help. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Fifth International ConTeXt User Meeting from September 19th until 24th
by Paul Menzel 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, for those wondering why the traffic on this list is quite low during the last few days, I guess the reason is most of the developers and active supporters are attending the fifth International ConTeXt User Meeting [1]. I wish a great time to everybody attending the meeting. Thanks, Paul [1] http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/

This has helped unless I have some particularly long words towards the right of the frame. I will use a combination of flushleft plus some pre-processing. Thanks for the help, Felix

Clip and framed not precise in MKIV
by Otso Helenius 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hi, I've used ConTeXt to chop up a big map svg on separate A4 papers like this: \setuplayout[width=190mm,backspace=10mm,height=297mm,topspace=10mm, header=0mm] \setupclipping[nx=3,ny=3] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\framed{\clip[x=\recurselevel,y=1]{\externalfigure[map.svg][width=570mm]}}} \dorecurse{3}{\framed{\clip[x=\recurselevel,y=2]{\externalfigure[map.svg][width=570mm]}}} \dorecurse{3}{\framed{\clip[x=\recurselevel,y=3]{\externalfigure[map.svg][width=570mm]}}} \stoptext I'm using framed to indicate where the pieces should be cut. The problem is that \framed does not frame the area produced by \clip precisely. There is a small gap between the frame border and the clipped image area and the gap is of different size on the left and right sizes than for example on the bottom. Am I overlooking some default setting? Shouldn't \framed frame the object inside it without leaving a padding between them? Best regards, Otso Helenius

placing endnotes throws a "missing number" error

Dear list, I’m running into a strange issue with endnotes. I seem to hit a limit of how many endnotes I can place in a document - although there are only 52 of them in the document.
