Verbatim in framed text
by Felix Ingram 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Some of my verbatim lines are overflowing the framed text box I'm putting them in. I see that I could define a pretty printer to handle this but I came up with the following: \starttext \startframedtext[middle][width=.8\textwidth] \startframedtext[left][frame=off, width=.6\textwidth] \starttyping import x from x import y for z in b: print dfdg Some text Some text Some text Some text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really longtextSomereallylong text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text Some really long text \stoptyping \stopframedtext \stopframedtext \stoptext This works but seems like cheating. Is there a better third way I could try, or could someone point to a mkiv pretty printer example I could study? Many thanks, Felix

MetaObj with labels in built-in objects (MetaObj Standard Library)
by Stefan Müller 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi list, some time ago I posted on this list about problems with MetaObj in ConTeXt when using labels. There's a wiki article about this now [1]. Just recently I was forced to notice that this solution does not work when the label to be drawn is part of the object definition. So the example from [1] works fine with the added boolean flag, but the following example (which means basically all built-in MetaObj objects with text) does not. It compiles well but there is no text. --8<--------------------start--------------------8<-- \startMPinclusions[+] input metaobj; boolean firstrun; firstrun := true; \stopMPinclusions \startMPpage if firstrun: newBox.a(\sometxt{Text}); a.c = origin; fi; drawObj(a); firstrun := false; \stopMPpage -->8--------------------stop-------------------->8-- I'm out of ideas how to fix this. I tried putting the text into a separate pictrue variable and use this in "newBox". In addition, I thought it should be possible to modify metaobj.mp to check for a boolean variable (e.g. "firstrun") and let the macros there react to its value accordingly , but I always got either no text or errors. I can draw the picture I wanted to get in the first place with plain MetaFun, but I thought MetaObj would be even more "fun". Now I'm very curious if someone on this list can come up with something. I think it would be great if MetaObj could be fully used within ConTeXt. Thanks in advance for taking the time to think about this and any hints! Kind regards, Stefan.

Long word out of text area/No proper line wrap with flushleft
by Stefan Müller 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi again, in one of my documents I want the text to be flushedleft and not hyphenated, see the following example. \setupalign[flushleft, nothyphenated] \starttext \showlayout bbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbb \stoptext However, in this example the aaa...a-"word" is not moved to the next line but written partially into the margin instead. I understand this behaviour for right-left-aligned text to avoid extremely stretched-out spaces, but here it doesn't seem right to me. Can I change this behaviour somehow? Thanks for any advice! Best regards, Stefan

Hi list, I want to have double line spacing in my document setup, including the headings.

crop PDF pages
by Yue Wang 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi, powerful context users: I'm wondering why there is no crop setting for \externalfigure or \insertpages. I have a lot of scanned books in PDF format, most of them are double sided. I want to read them on kindle but the huge margins take too much space and as a result the texts are too small. I want to use commands like \insertpages to crop all the pages with different bounding box settings for odd/even pages. there's a "scale" option for \copypages but it's somewhat naive to use in such practical cases...

MetaPost visibly drawing at 0pt
by Meer, H. van der 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

I used to put an invisible frame around figures in MetaPost by setting a pen scaled at 0pt. That left no trace, but defined the area. However I (now) see a thin line drawn by code: pickup pencircle scaled 0pt; draw origin--(w,h); Did I always mis this or has something changed? For example a roundoff away from zero in MetaPost?

Tikz and \color
by Felix Ingram 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hello all, I'm using Tikz to draw some fancy text boxes, but I've bumped into an annoying problem. If you run the example below then the body text will be rendered in red. If you remove the "REMOVE ME" text, then it will be rendered in black. I would expect the black version to be the correct version but I need to add text to my node. Am I using \color correctly? Does anyone know how I might go about debugging this? Is there a way to determine whether it's Context or Tikz that's misbehaving? \usemodule[tikz] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuphead[section] [ after={\color[red]{\hrule width 125mm \vskip 2em}}, ] \starttext \section{Some Title} \starttikzpicture \node{ REMOVE ME }; \stoptikzpicture Flank sint culpa, dolore dolore ham hock chicken t-bone irure pastrami.

IPA symbols in MKIV
by Otso Helenius 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hello, I'm having a trouble getting IPA symbols to show up with MKIV. I've read through the old threads about using IPA, and it seems there is no module like tipa for ConTeXt for easy input. I've tried also using SIL Gentium as the main font and entering the IPA symbols directly as UTF-8, but only a part of them will render (even though they all exist in the actual font in the right plane and are viewable in other programs). Almost none of the diacritics render. \definetypeface [MyFace][rm][serif][gentium][default][encoding=uc] \setupbodyfont[MyFace, 11pt] \starttext n̥ d̥ ̊ɭ˔ ʎ̥˔ \stoptext only n, d and ̊ will render in the PDF. In other apps using Gentium all the glyphs are visible. Is there a way to output IPA symbols correctly (when they are entered as UTF-8), or would it be possible to introduce a macro/module with an environment like \startipa \stopipa and commands for entering the symbols inside the environment? Entering some of the symbols correctly (such as velarized or pharyngealized diacritics which should appear on top of the letter) is hard when done directly with Unicode, so at least TeX-like shorthands for all the symbols and diacritics would really be appreciated. Best regards, Otso Helenius

[float] location options of \placefloat

Hi all, some of the possibilities concerning float placement that are listed on the wiki[1] cause mkiv to fail with an “undefined control sequence”. E.g. ----------------------------------------------------------------- \starttext \placefigure[left][]{A Dutch Cow}{\externalfigure[cow]} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- The same goes for “right”, “innermargin” “outeredge”. Others like “top” and “here” seem to work. Mkii is not affected, though. Bug?

automigrateinserts complete but confused
by Steffen Wolfrum 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

Hi, I just gave automigrateinserts a try in a current version (09.15): The footnotes used in a table are printed, but with the wrong numbers ... due to the fact that the table is a float, probably. Please have a look a this screenshot: http://werksatz.com/attachments/footnotes.pdf The tables anchor is on the left side after the paragraph mentioning "Tabelle 27", by using \placetable{...caption...}{\bTABLE...\eTABLE} Before is footnote 68, below is footnote 74! But, for the table is placed on the next page, their footnotes 69-73 are also placed on the right page ... AFTER footnote 74!! Is there something that can be done about this? I.e. the footnote 74 gets number 69, and the table's notes on the right page get number 70-74?! Thanks, Steffen

Table headers and section titles
by Felix Ingram 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hello all, I've had another stab at converting our Word template to Context. I've managed to draw some pretty shapes using MetaPost (and I'd like to add my +1 for getting some alpha channel support for linear_shade) and I got really close to getting my table headings working. I would like to have a gradient fill that runs the width of the table header. The following shows where I've got to: %% GRADIENT SETUP \definecolor[a][r=0.098039,g=0.223529,b=0.52549] \definecolor[b][r=0.098039,g=0.654902,b=0.866667] \startuniqueMPgraphic{LinearShade} path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ; linear_shade(p,5,\MPcolor{a},\MPcolor{b}) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[shaded][\useMPgraphic{LinearShade}] \setupTABLE[row][1][background={shaded},backgroundcolor=blue,foregroundcolor=white] \starttext \framed[background={shaded}, width=\textwidth, frame=off]{} \bTABLE \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH 1 \eTH \bTH 1 \eTH \bTH 1 \eTH \bTH 1 \eTH \bTH Page \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext The output shows a framed element which is similar to what I want to achieve and the table shows where I've got to. I believe that there are only really two options as to how I can get what I want: 1. Recalculate the gradient fill for each cell. This will require knowing the column width and the ability to change the cell's background as appropriate. I have no idea how to do either. 2. Draw the framed fill to the width of the table and then position it behind the table header (which is actually how it gets done in Word). However, I don't know how to determine the table width, or how to accurately position the frame. The next problem I have is with section headings. For each section heading we are required to include a box that contains some meta information. This is what I have at the moment: \setuphead[section][color=blue, aligntitle=float] \definefloat[issueinfo][issueinfos] % Define our fancy boxout \setupcaption[issueinfo][location=none] % Define our fancy boxout \defineframedtext[issueinfo][] \starttext \section{My section header} \placeissueinfo[right, y=-2cm]{}{ \startissueinfo[width=4cm] Ref: ref-1 \par a: Medium \par b: low \par c: 9.0 \stopissueinfo } Short loin shank rump pork belly ball tip pig. Spare ribs shank tri-tip capicola strip steak. Frankfurter leberkäse filet mignon boudin pork belly. Capicola shankle ribeye, hamburger brisket jerky rump short ribs turkey ham hock andouille pork chop chicken tongue pork belly. Ball tip tongue corned beef shoulder bresaola. Tri-tip turducken salami ground round pork. Rump tenderloin pork loin ham hock boudin, meatball venison pastrami prosciutto. \stoptext I'd like to be able to accurately place the box alongside the title itself. Ideally I'd like to draw a line under the section header that meets the left side of the box as well, though I'll take what I can get at this point. I hope the examples make sense. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Felix

\url interaction and splitting
by Aditya Mahajan 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hi, Can the definition of \url be changed so that \useURL[google][http://www.google.com]\url[google] will create a hyperlink? I tried changing the definition of \url to (changed last line) \unexpanded\def\url[#1]% {\dontleavehmode \begingroup \dosetfontattribute\??ur\c!style \dosetcolorattribute\??ur\c!color \goto{\hyphenatedurl{\ctxlua{structures.references.urls.get("#1","\@@uralternative","\@@urspace")}}}[fileorurl(#1)]% \endgroup} but this makes \url inherit the style from \setupinteraction rather than \setupurl. Also, \url does not support urlalternative for splitting url. Consider the following example from strc-ref: \startasciimode \useURL [test] [sentence_sentence%sentence#sentence~sentence/sentence//sentence:sentence.sentence] \stopasciimode \startlinecorrection \hbox to \hsize {\hss\en \setupreferencing[urlalternative=both]% \vbox{\hsize.25cm\hbox{\bf both}\prewordbreak\url[test]}% \hss \setupreferencing[urlalternative=before]% \vbox{\hsize.25cm\hbox{\bf before}\prewordbreak\url[test]}% \hss \setupreferencing[urlalternative=after]% \vbox{\hsize.25cm\hbox{\bf after}\prewordbreak\url[test]}% \hss} \stoplinecorrection The url spliiting the same in all three cases.

Miktex breaks install

In a fit of madness I installed Miktex and now my minimals install is borked ("unknown script 'context.lua'...).

If so, then does anyone know what I should set the following to? SELFAUTOLOC SELFAUTODIR SELFAUTOPARENT TEXMFCNF TEXMF TEXOS Thanks in advance, Felix

Titles - dimensions and grid after
by Honza Hejzl 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hello, I simply need to have chapter title exactly placed, not on grid (25mm from left, top of all letters on the edge of the whole grid). I have tried: \setupbodyfont[termes,11pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=14pt] \definefont[nadpisy][SansBold at 22pt] \setuphead[chapter][% before={\dontleavehmode\blank[-0.26cm]\hskip 25mm}, number=yes, style=\nadpisy after={\blank[11*line]}, ] This works fine but the text after is NOT on grid (don't know how to). The second thing is it is NOT skipped 25mm but so cca 30mm. %\def\mychapterstyle#1#2{\framed[frame=on,location=top, offset=0pt,width=\textwidth,height=57mm,align=top]{{\hskip 25mm#1 #2}}} \setuphead[chapter][% number=yes, style=\nadpisy command=\mychapterstyle, after={\blank[11*line]}, ] This works fine but the problem is that in case of some charons or other diacritics the whole title is due to it slightly moved down. What could solve my problem? (How to get the text after on grid and have exactly 25mm \hskip OR How to have a framed titles where the diacritical marks are above the top of the frame?)

See doc/generic/pgf/ChangeLog Christian Feuersaenger ludewich, users.sourceforge.net Christophe Jorssen cjorssen, users.sourceforge.net Jannis Pohlmann jannis, xfce.org Matthias Schulz ma.schulz, email.de ... (Dear Christian: I'm still waiting for a fix for something that I sent a while ago. This original thread "Latest betas break tikz matrix" is at http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/thread.html.) We definitely need some ConTeXt specific bug tracking with automatic email reminders for pgf developers to fix those bugs ;) ;) ;) In principle we could also create a git project, create a context branch, apply the fixes to it and use that one in ConTeXt minimals, hoping that PGF developers will pick them up. Now a question: - It is trivial to convert CVS project into GIT project (git cvs import ...) - It is trivial to rearrange the structure into TDS with a script (I simply use a few rsync commands) - I don't know how to combine both. Does anyone have some nice idea how to take the existing CVS project with complete history and make a TDS-compliang git project out of it (keeping all the history, authors, ... etc.) I also have commit rights for TeX Live, but I don't dare applying patches without having them applied upstream. If nothing else, that just postpones the problem to the time after PGF will release a new version and that one won't work. Mojca

ToC, other choices instead of dots [alternative=c]
by Honza Hejzl 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hello, is there any way how to choose something different than dots/spaces like a title-pagenumber separator (without harakiri hacking)? I need to have dashes there, like: 1. Chapter ----------- 5 2. Chapter ----------- 8 Thank you, Honza Hejzl

Setup of the title of Contents
by Honza Hejzl 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hello, I wish I were able to set tup my custom title (for example, for table of contents). I have chapter titles split over two lines and with different sizes so I need something different as a title of Contents. I know about many possibilities of \setuplist options but can't find anything about changing the title style. It seems the basic style is simply derived from the chapter title style. Any advice? Thanks, Honza Hejzl

beta
by Hans Hagen 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi, I uploaded a beta. Apart from some fixes/additions the most important difference is that the scite support files have been replaced: instead of the built-in lexer we now use the lpeg based one. There is a readme file in the context/data/scite subpath. Those using it need a recent version of scite (I use 2.28). The lexers are working ok but might be improved in due time.

Hello, I'm working on a project to set up exams, basing the work on Aditya's asignment class that was published in Practex in 2006. I have a problem getting title information printed correctly. This is a cut-down version: \setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor [colorone] [r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red \definecolor [colortwo] [b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue \def\exam[#1] {\getrawparameters [Exam] [ title= course=, date=, start=, stop=, #1] \title{\Examtitle}} \definefont [BigFontOne] [RegularSlanted sa 2.5] \definefont [BigFontTwo] [Regular sa 1.5] \setuphead[title] [ style=\BigFontOne, command=\examtitle, before={}, after={\blank[big] \bgroup \colortwo Date: \expanded{\date[Examdate]} \hfill Start: \expanded{Examstart} Stop: \expanded{Examstop} \egroup\blank}, ] %D This macro does the actual typesetting of the title \def\examtitle#1#2% {\framed[ width=broad, frame=off, align=middle, foregroundcolor=colortwo, % I want a shadow around the title frame background=shadow] {#2\\{Examcourse}}} \exam[ title=Mid-term 2010, course=ES2917, date={d=17,m=2,y=2010}, start={9:00 am}, stop={11:00 am} ] I'm processing this with Mark II. The problems are that (1) The literal 'Examcourse' is typeset; (2) Today's date is typset, not the one entered in the interface; (3) The start and stop times are typeset as literals 'Examstart' & 'Examstop' Thanks for any help, Roger %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: context %%% TeX-master: t %%% End:

Basic layout settings

Hello, I am trying to learn how to set up the layout according to my exact wish and can't achieve one thing. How to remove those annoying tight spaces on both sides? I simply need 1.5cm on the side of binding and 0.5cm on the outer one. Here is the source: \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[cz] \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuplayout[% location=middle, width=fit, height=505.4pt, topspace=51.13pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, leftmargindistance=0pt, rightmargindistance=0pt, rightmargin=0pt, leftmargin=15mm, rightmargin=5mm, leftedgeditstance=0pt, rightedgedistance=0pt, footerdistance=13.3pt, footer=13.3pt, grid=yes, marking=on ] \setuppagenumbering[location=right] \showgrid \showframe \starttext \input{tufte} \stoptext Thank, Honza Hejzl

MKIV strange results in Adobe Reader
by Otso Helenius 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Hello, I recently made a SimpleSlides presentation with MKIV (2011.08.27 13:24). It looks ok on numerous PDF readers including Okular, Google Docs, Sumatra PDF. Whenever I open it on Adobe Reader, the results are rather puzzling: 1) The fifth page background is not black but grey, also some later pages have grey background 2) The RGB and CMYK swatch colours are all messed up The picture on page four has been intentionally corrupted with a hex editor and then opened and saved again in Gimp to remove the errors in the file. You can view the source here: https://pi-xi.net/share/colorlecture.tex and the finished PDF here: https://pi-xi.net/share/colorlecture.pdf The only modifications I've made to the simpleslides-s-BottomSquares.tex is replacing the background color, contrast color and variant color with different values ([s=.0], [r=.8,g=.2,b=.2], [s=.15]). I would appreciate if someone could explain if there are bugs in my tex sources, in MKIV or in the Adobe Reader – and in any case how can I fix the erroneous output on Adobe Reader to match it on Sumatra, Google Docs, etc. Best regards, Otso Helenius

Project structure – how to process product file
by Honza Hejzl 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hello, I am trying to split a book in separated chapter files. Every of them includes: \startcomponent kap01 \environment environ %this I use because it is great to fine-tune shorter parts of book, it saves a lot of time \product kniha \starttext ... \stoptext Processing of single chapter files is ok. In my productfile I have: \startproduct kniha \component kap01 \component kap02 \stopproduct Of course, I have both chapters saved like kap01.tex... I have that directory structure: \Pes\environ.tex \Pes\kap01\kap01.tex \Pes\kap02\kap02.tex \Pes\kniha\kniha.tex – this is the product file. But when I try to process the product file, it saves kniha.log, kniha.tuc but no pdf file. Interesting is, the console says exactly: mkiv lua stats > result saved in file - kniha.pdf But no, it really doesn't save anything... Thanks, Honza Hejzl

Typesetting >> in verbatim
by Thomas Friedrich 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hi, I am having problems typing ">>" when typesetting code within a \definetyping environment. I hope someone might be able to give me a hint. My code looks as follows: \definetyping [Haskell] [ option=commands, before={\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth, frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on, background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90]}, after={\stopframedtext}, bodyfont=9pt, margin=1.5em] \startHaskell main = foo >>= bar \stopHaskell Whenever ConTeXt comes across >> anywhere in the text, it just doesn't typeset anything. So in the above case, I get the output: main = foo = bar Thanks for you help! Thomas
