how to flip even pages upside down??
by Leo Razoumov 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi List, I am a new ConTeXt user coming from LaTeX background. To print duplex on my printer I need to flip even pages upside down. I looked into section 3.7 "Arranging Pages" of the latest ConTeXt manual (2010-10-26). It shows how to setup very elaborate page compositions but somehow I failed to find a solution for my little problem. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. --Leo--

seeking 'hello world' example for Arabic typesetting with conTeXt
by Jon Crump 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Dear all, I'm gradually getting my head around using ConTeXt to typeset texts marked up in TEI/XML. I'm trying to typeset an English/Arabic text and I keep breaking my teeth on the Arabic. I'm trying to do what I can with the macTeX 2010 distribution, but the documentation on the conTeXt wiki has me confused. The amount I don't know about TeX is truly daunting, but clearly there are some basic things about font management that I don't understand. I thought I had found a minimal example in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew that I could use as a starting point. After saving it locally as ara-sty.tex I tried to typeset: % engine=luatex \environment ara-sty \starttext \setarabic أهلا بالعالم! \stoptext a PDF was produced but it contained no text save for !. Among the things that conTeXt told me was: !define font : font with name arabtype is not found !define font : unknown font arabtype, loading aborted !define font : unable to define arabtype as \*Arabic20ptrmtf* Where should I look for this font? Where is conTeXt looking for it? If I were to find it, where should I put it? I gather that fonts on my system can be used, but font metric files for them have to be generated. How to do that? Apologies for the unfocused tyro questions, but the TeX world has become so much larger than it was when I last used it that I feel quite at sea with all the available documentation. thanks, Jon

\setuptyping: font size
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hello, I'm trying to \setuptyping to use a 8pt font size [of a tt typeface]. Here are my trials - in several cases I get the wanted result but with error messages: --- t.mkiv \enableregime[cp1250] %\setuptyping[default][style=\ttxx\setupinterlinespace] % This works somehow but with errors \setuptyping[default][bodyfont=8pt,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] % This works somehow but with errors %\setuptyping[default][style=\eightpoint\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][style=\viii\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][bodyfont=viii,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] %\setuptyping[default][bodyfont=sixpoint,style=\tt\setupinterlinespace] \starttext \typefile[default]{t.mkiv} \stoptext --- A part of the error message: --- !

Indent after Float
by Andreas Harder 01 Dec '10

Hi all, please consider the following example: \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupfloats[indentnext=yes] % default: no \def\TestFloatPlacement#1% {\input tufte \par \placefigure[#1,nonumber]{place=#1}{} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte \par} \page} \starttext \TestFloatPlacement{top} \TestFloatPlacement{bottom} \TestFloatPlacement{auto} \TestFloatPlacement{right} \stoptext Only "top" seems to give the right indenting.

interactive chapter titles in margin
by Thomas Schmitz 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, for my document setup, I would like to have interactive chapter headings, and I want the chapter titles in the margins only; they should not interfere with normal indentation, spacing, etc. So far, I haven't really found a solution. Here's a small example (with some code from the wiki): \defineinmargin [ChapterInMargin] [outer] [normal] [distance=0.3em] \setuphead[chapter][style=bold, number=no, expansion=yes, alternative=text, distance=0pt, indentnext=yes, before={\blank[0pt]}, after={\blank[0pt]}, command=\MyChapter, page=no] \def\MyChapter#1#2{\ChapterInMargin{#2}} \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter][all][force=yes] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \starttext \startchapter[title=One,bookmark=One] \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Two,bookmark=Two] \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte} \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Three,bookmark=Three] \dorecurse{5}{\input bryson} \stopchapter \stoptext Can anybody provide an idea what to do? THanks! All best Thomas

bib problems
by Thomas A. Schmitz 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, the last days have brought a couple of bug reports on bibliographies in ConTeXt. I will try and create a number of examples so Hans can test and debug. In order to facilitate the creation of minimal examples for all users, we have a couple of suggestions: 1. There is now a dedicated page for bibliography support on the wiki; unsurprisingly, it's at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliographies. For the time being, this page is just a skeleton; you are all invited to contribute. 2. The page contains a link to a sample bib file. This file will be part of the main distribution (and hence of the minimals) under context/tex/texmf-context/bibtex/bib/sample.bib. I will send this file to Hans. At the same time, it is meant as a bibliography for ConTeXt related publications. So if you build minimal examples, please try with this file first. If the error you are reporting is triggered by a certain publication type which is not yet represented in the sample file, please modify the file on your disk, but *remember to add these modifications to the file on the wiki* (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/sample_bib) and drop me a line! If you want to add further ConTeXt related publications, feel free to do so! I will send Hans and Mojca updated versions of this file which I'll pick up on the wiki. 3. As you know, priority in development is given to mkiv. The bib module for mkii was written by Taco, and as far as I understood him, it is quite unlikely that he will have the time to do extensive work on it. Later today, I will try and coordinate the bug reports I can still find in an example. Please add your reports as well. All best Thomas

Bug or feature in list and error with setuptructure?
by Cedric Mauclair 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi list, I am using the following code with a recent beta (last week): \setuplist[subsection][numberstopper=, right=), style=\slanted] and the ')' is not slanted. However, it is the following: \setuplist[subsection][numberstopper=), style=\slanted] So, bug or feature? Also, \setupstructure[state=start] causes the compilation to stop after lpdf-pdx.xml. Minimal example : % \setupstructure[state=start]% doesn't work (lpdf-pdx.xml) \starttext \startitemize[n] \item one \item two \item three \item four \item five \stopitemize \stoptext In a my thesis, I got some other errors, please see attached file. I am sorry I could not track down the bug in my setup, but with the minimal example, something is already going wrong. Regards. -- Cédric

Announcement: cont-tst.pdf
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hello, I built a single .pdf from all testing sources or demos which were included in the Hans' latest cont-tst.7z. You may find this inspiring or you can find here some snippets (similary as in wiki) how things may be done in ConTeXt. The file (5.5 MB, 1500 pages approx.) contains the TOC, listing of the source files (on the left page, if short enough) and the result beginning from the right page. The content is divided in the same manner as Hans did - the tree structure is fully kept. The file is temporarily available for download at - http://www.filejumbo.com/Download/1AEB1F0BDD3BAAC9 Comments are welcome. 2 Hans & Taco: I was not able to translate the following sources: speed-001.tex speed-002.tex - A kind of a infinite loop?

End of page & orphan/widow control
by Honza Hejzl 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hello, could anyone give me an advice how to manage text flow (in terms of orphan/widow control with controlling of flushbottom raggedbottom effects?). I am desperate in fact ConTeXt is a great tool but I can't reach effective way how to control these things. (And be sure I have spent many hours above manual and wiki… but maybe I am not so technically capable.) In case I have longer text with many quotations, one-line paragraphs and direct speech (typically any novel), I am able to reach a stage without orphans and widows but context do what it want with an end of every problematic page – it simply shrinks it –1 line. I need to be able to create simply nice results in a basic-typography point of view of good novel typesetting (without orphans, widows, on grid and every page the same height). Sure I know about \setuptolerance setting but it has (imho) very poor effect for my purposes. (Sure, maybe I am not using it properly.) Here is my result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/kresadlo.pdf and source file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/kresadlo.tex …see pages 3 and 4, please. This is what I mean and what I wish to manage in a simple way. Thank you Jan Hejzl

context-beta install trouble
by Hans van der Meer 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

I have this question. I now get the messages below when installing context beta. Especially alarming sounds to me "unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua" Is there something wrong with my setup, perhaps because of some change I missed? I did reorganize my disk layout somewhat, but I am fairly sure I put all directories and links in order. The output of the installation runis followed by the scripts I use. Can there be thrown some light on this question? Thanks in advance.

wrong name of a *.top file
by Leo Razoumov 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi All, I am a new ConTeXt user coming from LaTeX background. I am using ConTeXt minimals "current" version on Linux (Ubuntu-9.04) ConTeXt ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.18 int: english/english LuaTeX, Version beta-0.64.0-2010111215 My file is named foo.11.tex (notice two "." in a filename). After running "context foo.11.tex" a bunch of files get created with the names such as foo.11.log foo.11.pdf foo.11.tex foo.11.tuc In addition there is a file named "foo.top" but NO "foo.11.top". Inspecting the file "foo.11.log" I noticed the line: systems : no foo.11.top Please, correct me if I am wrong but I think that proper name of the *.toc file in this case should be "foo.11.top" and not "foo.top". Somehow the present of two "." in a filename messed up context/luatex. If I rename the file to, let say, "foo-22.tex" with only a single "." remaining, then problem is gone and the file "foo-22.top" is properly generated and loaded. --Leo--

bib: ignoring 'criterium=cite'
by Mojca Miklavec 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Dear Taco/Hans, In MKIV the argument criterium=cite is ignored: I get the complete list of publications even though some of them are never cited anywhere. In MKII the list shows up just fine. On top of that the space between number [n] and bibliography item is simply too small when 10 or more bibliography items are used (in MKII it is fine). On the other hand MKII doesn't have enough blank space between title and the start of bibliography listing (I remember that bug since 2006 at least), while it is OK in MKIV. I use: \setuppublications [alternative=num, criterium=cite, sorttype=cite] But I will send a complete minimal example, hopefully tomorrow. Mojca

Portable linux Minimals installation?
by Marco Pessotto 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello list! It's happening to me that I have to travel to a place where there's no broadband access, and I'd like to take ConTeXt with me. So I can't just run the installer and rsync the trees. Now, the question is: is it safe to tarball the ConTeXt root directory with executable and texmf trees, and move it around (on another machine)? Or are there hardcoded paths that prevents this? I couldn't find anything about this on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals Thanks in advance. -- Marco

Using Bold SmallCaps in LuaTeX - typescript

Good evening! First of all, I'm new to this list and also a context/luatex newbe. I have some experience with LaTeX. I want to use a font (Neutraface2) in my documents and I'm struggeling with the typescript. I'm not able to get bold SmallCaps working (the bold face .otf file has the feature smcp, I checked). I tried various combinations and variations of \bf \sc in my document. It gives me bold OR smallcaps, but not bold AND smallcaps. Whats wrong here? Can someone give me an example typescript that I could modify to fit the Neutraface2 font? My attempt to make one is attached. Greetings, Chris

some questions related to sorting in registers
by Vianney le Clément 28 Nov '10

28 Nov '10

Hello, There has been some discussion about this lately, but I have some questions about the sort order in registers. Consider this example: \starttext \index{42 numbers} \index{'apostrophe} \index{‘apostrophe} \index{’apostrophe} \index{"quote} \index{“quote} \index{”quote} \index{Oo} \index{ob} \index{oz} \index{Öa} Test \subject{Method zm} \placeindex[method=zm] \subject{Method zc} \placeindex[method=zc] \stoptext First of all, common to both methods, I'd like the unicode apostrophes and quotes to be ignored just like their "straight" counterpart. Is there a method to do so, apart from specifying the key manually? Using the zm method, entries beginning with a number appear at the very bottom of the index, which is quite a strange place especially as there is no separation with the previous letter. Using the zc method, the numbers are at the right place, but now entries beginning with an accented character appear wrongly in a separate group after the unaccented letters. Is there a way to get the best of both methods? Thanks, Vianney

Tabluating with fixed-width column
by Willi Egger 28 Nov '10

28 Nov '10

Good afternoon! After updating the minimals again, thanks for fixing the previously mentioned problems, I see, that the tabulating environment does no more honor fixed width columns, For left aligned the fixed width is ignored, whereas the fixed width for a paragraph results in a maximum width paragraph. Please refer to the attached test-file. Thanks for fixing this. Willi

mkiv/luatex bug
by Benedikt Morbach 28 Nov '10

28 Nov '10

Hi, I'm currently trying out context and somehow I can't get it to behave the way it should/I want it. I think I may be hitting a bug in either my setup or context mkiv. Somehow when using luatex/mkiv the spacing and placing of figures and such looks very different (and wrong) compared to pdftex/mkii (invoked using context --luatex/--pdftex). I think the bug is either in context or my context setup, because lualatex compared with pdflatex is fine, so it doesn't seem engine related. I already ran various combinations of (texexec|luatools|context) ((--generate|--make)||--all) but that didn't help. I'm experiencing this with TeXLive + TLContrib as well as context-minimals (only installed for testing) attached are: - Hello World.tex (from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Hello_world ) - logs context.(lua|pdf).log - the resulting pdfs Hello World.(lua|pdf).pdf Would be nice if someone could help me with this, since I'm eager to play with luatex and context a bit more. Benedikt PS: I'm not on the list, so it could happen that you have to CC me if you want to answer (not sure about that) PPS: I'm also uploading the attachments here http://ompldr.org/vNmJ6eA/context.zip , because mailing-list archives probably wont save them.

Composed words: a simple way without a global replacement to |-|?
by Marco Pessotto 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Dear list, today I was reviewing the hyphenation and stumbled on the composed word problem, as explained at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Composed_words and in the ref-manual. Now, the trivial question sounds: is there a way to say to TeX "hey, consider the hyphen inside words a good breakpoint"? If not, I'm going to do a global replacement of ([a-z])-([a-z]) to $1|-|$2 , but somehow I feel I'm doing this wrong (because this will harm to the readability of the source). Any idea? Thanks in advance. -- Marco

Bibliogrraphy MKIV sort does NOT work
by barndog1946＠gmail.com 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Hans, Could we (you and I) fix sort= so that we can make choices? Default sort=author does NOT function. As a matter of fact there seems to be no sort available. Also, can someone point me to the files required so that we (I) could write code to chose biblio style files for reference list eg econometric, elsevier, AEA, etc.

new beta
by Hans Hagen 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The most important issues are the following: (1) Table I fixed a few things and there is limit color support \VL[10] rule ten times wider than normal \VL[red] red rule \VL[red,10] both The same applies to \HL and \DL, but with \DL the first argument hs the number of spans, so we can have: \DL[2,red,10]. (2) Buffers and typing This whole bunch has been cleaned up and pretty printing has been redone. The \type command accepts an optional argument with settings. as does \starttyping, \typebuffer and \typefile (and the defined variants). The interface for defining visualizers might change a bit but I'm getting there. There is a chapter on it in the cld manual. In principle one can provide arbitrary manipulators, think of: \startluacode local function parser(s) local s = string.gsub(s,"show","demonstrate") local s = string.gsub(s,"'re"," are") context(s) end visualizers.register("MyThing", { parser = parser }) \stopluacode \starttyping[option=MyThing,color=darkred,style=] This is just some text to show what we can do with this mechanism. In spite of what you might think we're not bound to verbose text. \stoptyping \startbuffer[demo] This is just some text to show what we can do with this mechanism. In spite of what you might think we're not bound to verbose text. \stopbuffer \processbuffer[demo][option=MyThing] There are only a few visualizers built in: TEX, MP, LUA, XML and PARSED-XML. There is also PARSED-LUA but that's for Luigi and me to play with first. Colors and fonts might change and are set up differently now, see v-*.mkiv files. (3) MkVI (or: moving on) Say that you have a file test.mkvi that has the following code: \def\TestOne[#1]% {this is: #1} \def\TestTwo#some% {this is: #some} \def\TestThree[#whatever][#more]% {this is: #more and #whatever} \def\TestFour[#one]#two% {\def\TestFive[#alpha][#one]% {#one, #two, #alpha}} \starttexdefinition TestSix #oeps here: #oeps \stoptexdefinition \starttext \startlines \TestOne [one] \TestTwo {one} \TestThree[one][two] \TestFour [one]{two} \TestFive [one][two] \TestSix {one} \stoplines \stoptext This will work out ok, in spite of the not so texy hash usage. This is an experimental feature and only meant for developers to play with. % macros=mkvi as top line also works. Files like that are preprocessed before they are passed to tex. (I'm considering permitting spaces before and after #whatever in the definition line.) More preprocessor features might show up. Of course the limitation of 9 arguments still applies.

Strange behavior of '\setupmathematics' and '\iint'
