Widgets color option not working with Mark IV
by Reviczky, Adam 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hi The color option in setupfield for widgets is ignored and always gives me black text with Mark IV (see: MarkIV.pdf compiled with a recent ConTeXt minimals). The attached example (widgets.tex) with Mark II however makes the correct color, in this case red, as you can see in (MarkII.pdf) compiled on live.contextgarden.net (aka with Mark II). The macro in question is: --- \setupfield [ShortLine] [label,frame,horizontal] [offset=4pt,height=fit,framecolor=green,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.80] [height=18pt,width=80pt,align=middle,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] % color=name does not work with MARK IV [height=18pt,width=80pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] --- On the same subject, is it possible in any way to make a custom style for the entry form text? The style option of setupfield just allows: "normal bold slanted boldslanted type", but I would like to change the size of the text-entry to eg. tfb or tfc. (By giving size commands to the style option the first form entry changes to that size but it reverts on the subsequent entries to the normal size.) Regards Adam

Font sizes, vertical spacing, footnote symbols
by Nicola 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi, I have a set of specifications for a document and I am having some problems implementing it. I am using MKIV from TeX Live 2010. I have some difficulty with these requirements in particular: 1) title: 17pt, boldface, capital letters; 12pt spacing before and 3pt spacing after the title; Now I use \setuphead[title][align=middle,style={\bfd\cap},before={},after={}] How can I ensure that the font size is exactly 17pt? How to I specify precise vertical spacing? 3) All § must be indented 1.25cm; \setupindenting[1.25cm,yes,first] But the first § of each Section is not indented. 4) footnote symbol: * I use \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 3] but I get stars instead of asterisks. Can you please help me with these? Nicola

bug in TABLE when there is a complex head
by Nigel King 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi Developers, Enclosed is a piece of code that demonstrates a bug in the NaturalTable environment when using a complex head in a multipage case. If you run the following code you will notice that not only does the head get repeated but also the first row of the body of the table. The cause appears to be [nr=2] in the head. I am using This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009) (format=cont-en 2010.4.14) 6 DEC 2010 08:32 I do apologise if this is fixed in a later version.

contextref vs. cont-enp; co-fonts
by Procházka Lukáš 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hello, just two notices - 1) When searching for some learning stuff, I found the cont-enp.pdf/12.11.2001 (http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-man-9.htm) which "... is the big reference manual, the one that is supposed to cover the whole of CONTEXT.". Some time ago, I downloaded the contextref.pdf/8.10.2010 (http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf) whose content is near to that of cont-enp.pdf. Probably just one of both documents is supposed to be the FINAL Ctx manual - and this [only] one should be available for download at both sites. 2) Fonts: wiki refers to http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf (18.11.2009?), whilst the http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mfonts.pdf (21.11.2005) is a cca twice wider (and newer?) document. Furthermore, the former document has some links broken (e.g. "(see section ??)" on the page 5 on the first line) and it would be nice if the links were INTERACTIVE (e.g. "(see section <1.5>" to jump to the section 1.5 of the document). Would it be possible to make links in the "mfonts.pdf" interactive ("jumpable"), even in the print version of the document, e.g. in TOC? Probably just one of both documents is supposed to explain deeply the stuff about fonts; this [only] one should be refered and available for download. Friendly regards, Lukas

Typescript Bodoni Old Fashion
by Philipp Gesang 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi all, [1] I just bought the Bodoni Old Fashion fonts from URW and made a typescript. It is attached to this mail (plus a test file for whoever needs it). Maybe it could be included in the minimals as third-party typescript. [2] Can we get the strings \definesystemconstant{SerifSemiBold} \definesystemconstant{SerifSemiBoldItalic} added to mult-sys.mkiv? This would allow the use of “\s!SerifSemiBold” in typescripts.

substitute glyphs from another font
by Philipp Gesang 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi again, the font I want to use keeps, despite its being otf, small caps and text figures in a separate file, not as features. I’m fine with the caps but I really need text figures as default and a switch to lining figures for the occasional table. Is there a way for typeface A to globally substitute the glyphs for R"09" with their aequivalents from typeface B? (I tried making numbers active but this messes things up royally. Modifying the font is not an option either. Also, some threads[*] on the ml seem to indicate that this is possible but predominantly done with math fonts.) Any solution would be appreciated no matter how hackish it might turn out. Thanks in advance Philipp [*] E.g. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100825.073722.961ad8df.en.html http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090930.193712.bf6a4e0c.en.html http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20101028.185641.136ab929.en.html -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

"Redundant equation" is a MetaPost bug in MkIV?

For example, in TikZ/LaTeX you can say: \coordinate (A) at (0, 0); \coordinate (B) at (1, 0); \coordinate (C) at ($ (A)!.3!(B) $); % z.C = .3[z.A, z.B] in MetaPost \coordinate (D) at (2, 1); \coordinate (E) at ($ (A)!(B)!(D) $); % projection of (B) to (A)--(D). This code fails in ConTeXt because "!" is made a "normal" character.

Float caption separator in MKIV
by Mojca Miklavec 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Dear list, it has probably been mentioned somewhere, but I cannot find it. What is the MKIV equivalent of either of the following two commands (which do the same)? \let\floatcaptionsuffix=: \setupcaptions[separator=:] I want to have "Figure 1: caption" instead of just "Figure 1 caption" Thanks a lot, Mojca

Another indenting problem
by Andreas Harder 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Hi all, it took me a while to track this down. It seems that if one uses \in[…] and \footnote{…} in the same paragraph the following \noindentation-command is ignored. Here is an example: \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][before=\noindentation] \starttext \showframe[text][text] \startbuffer \startblockquote Is this paragraph indented? It should not! Is this paragraph indented? It should not! \stopblockquote \stopbuffer Test \in[someref] test\footnote{footnote}. \getbuffer Test test\footnote{footnote}. \getbuffer Test \in[someref] test. \getbuffer \stoptext Thanks in advance Andreas PS. I don't think is has something to do with the problem in http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20101201.120250.6f268216.en.html but it would be nice if both could be fixed.

Dear Hans, maybe my request comes a bit late, but nevertheless - how difficult is it to fix \longrightarrow in MKIV in Lucida font? (In MKII it works fine.) \setupbodyfont[lucida] \starttext $\longrightarrow$ \stoptext The arrow has white space in the middle. Thanks a lot, Mojca

Figure and equation numbers only include chapter number
by seasoul 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Dear All, After my updating context minimal, the equation and figure numbers became very weird. For example, all the figures in chapter 2 labeled as "figure 2." all the equations in chapter 2 as "(2.). I have seen a report in the mailing list also mentioning a similar problem.

Suppress header and footer inside frontmatter
by Khaled Hosny 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

How can I suppress header and footer between \{start,stop}frontmatter? alternatively, how can I use alphabetic page numbering there? (preferably by using some \setup command that I'd use in my environment file). A, rather silly, example: \starttext \startfrontmatter \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth } \stopfrontmatter \stoptext Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

figure and table caption numbering
by Alan BRASLAU 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Very original: figures and table captions suddenly appear to all be numbered by chapter - meaning ALL figures of Chapter 1 are numbered Figure 1, ALL figures in Chapter 2 are numbered Figure 2, ... figures in Appendix A are numbered Figure A. Does anyone else notice this, or do I have to come up with a minimal example? (I have nothing special, other than \setuplist[figure][partnumber=no]) Alan

another bib bug: missing text after %

Hans, here's another bib-related bug report that I have only noticed today (I don't know how long it has been present). It works fine in MKII. The link is OK, but it displays wrong - everything after percentage sign is missing if I enable interaction. \setuppublicationlayout[image]{% {\sc url}: \inserturl{}{}{}} \startpublication[k=img:sigma_bond_d,t=image] \biburl{http://www.d.umn.edu/%7Epkiprof/ChemWebV2/Overlap/images/sigma-dz2.jpg} \stoppublication % this triggers the bug \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \cite[img:sigma_bond_d] \placepublications \stoptext Thanks, Mojca

custom colors for verbatim in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi all, pardon my ignorance, but how can I define custom colors for pretty printing xml in current mkiv? I tried defining a palet, I tried defining the usual colors prettyone etc., but to no avail. And, on a related note: are the files pret-lua.lua pret-mp.lua pret-tex.lua pret-xml.lua no longer part of mkiv? What has replaced them? I attach an example which works with mkii and with my older installation of mkiv (2010.10.22 16:46) but not with the current beta (2010.12.02 08:51). Thomas \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[paleblue][r=0.5,g=0.5,b=0.9] \definecolor[palered] [r=0.9,g=0.5,b=0.5] \definecolor[palecyan][r=0.41,g=0.84,b=0.84] \setuptyping[option=color, % palet=colorpretty, bodyfont=10pt, before={\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth, background=screen, frame=off, backgroundscreen=.9]}, after={\stopframedtext}] \definepalet[MYcolors] [prettyone=paleblue, prettytwo=palecyan, prettythree=palered, prettyfour=darkgreen] \definepalet[XMLcolorpretty][MYcolors] \starttext \startXML <main type="important">hello world</main> \stopXML \stoptext

But I saw that the the .bbl file was sorted. I then found that when you add sorttype=bbl as an argument to \setuppublications (so, in your example use \setuppublications[refcommand=authoryear,sorttype=bbl]) and use \placepublications[] you will get the cited publications sorted alphabetically by author name. I later saw that this solution was already given by Aditya Mahajan in ntg-context Digest, Vol 76, Issue 141 Date: 29 oktober 2010, Message 4, Subject: sorttype for bibtex Regards, Robert Blackstone
