Our problem is that they are sketchy and rambling, bits and pieces of this and that without any systematic explanations. Often they are just some unexplained code samples that communicate nothing (unless you happen to be the guy who invented the language). I can't think of one command that is fully explained along with all its possible parameters. The wiki is better written, but even less complete. It might not be possible to do better, but this is a huge obstacle to anyone who actually wants to use ConTeXt. The docs hint at a lot of features that sound better than LaTeX, but actually getting them to work is a different story.

What is the difference between \setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes] and \setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=yes] In 'default.nli' I found \defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!auto] {\doifelselettervalue\c!backaddress {\lettervalue\c!backaddress} {\lettervalue\c!fromname \doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\ \lettervalue\c!fromaddress}} what I interpret in the following way: If 'backaddress'=auto If exist a constant 'backaddress' use it else compose one from 'fromname' and 'fromaddress' To use this, I tried to set \setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=auto] or \setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=auto] And I tried to set this constant backaddress, with setlettervalue{backaddress}{something} But no combination is working. What worked is \setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=yes] \setlettervalue{backaddress}{something} which should not work, because \defineletterelement[\v!backaddress][\v!yes] {\lettervalue\c!fromname \doiflettervalue\c!fromaddress\\ \lettervalue\c!fromaddress} is composing the 'backaddress' from the fromdata. My skills to read the sourcecode are very limited, so most likely I buhave something misunderstood. Wolfgang

Microtype in ConTeXt
by Yan Zhou 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

Dear all, I am thinking about moving from LaTeX to ConTeXt. But there is one thing make this particularly difficult. That is the microtype LaTeX package. More specifically I have the following questions (assuming I will use MKIV and luatex) 1. I understand that ConTeXt can do margin kerning and font expansion, but is there a way to setup a configuration file for each font set. Like the mt-foo.cfg file for font family foo when using microtype in latex. 2. Is there a way to do letterspace in ConTeXt. I understand there is a command called \stretched. But what I want is the feature like the tracking option in microtype package, which can automatically letterspace all small caps. Moreover is there a way to define new sets of fonts for letterspace. For example I defined a new font shape called \capshape, which use case tags of OpenType, and I want to use letterspace this shape with certain amount all the time because I am not satisfied with the space provided by the cpsp tag of OpenType. I am sorry for using and LaTeX terminology. I haven't start learning ConTeXt at all at this stage. I want to first know if it provide all the features I need before I spend my time on learning a new language.

marginal note problems
by Michael Saunders 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Thank you for the help with headers---it worked. My marginal note problems continue: If I have a two-column text with margins on either side, is there a way for \inmargin{} or something like it to place text in the margin next to the column where it occurs? I haven't been able to avoid it overprinting the text in the opposite column. I tried using margin blocks but I couldn't get anywhere with them. Even: \startmarginblock test \stopmarginblock produces no output. And there is a new wrinkle: \setupinmargin[align=outer] ruins my footnotes. It causes the footnote marks that occur before the notes themselves to appear one margin-length left of where they should be, even if the overprint text.

I have found a key 'frombank' but it is to long for the ref-line and I will put this in the footer, but \setupfootertexts[bla][blub] does not work 3) I have found a variable 'foot'. How can this be used? 4) Is it possible to use 'frombank' in other positions than the ref- line, in the footer per example? Thank you Wolfgang

status of node.write
by Michail Vidiassov 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Dear All, I notice that broken code for inserting movies uses node.write in codeinjections.insertmovie (in back-pdf.lua), while figures.checkers.mov (in grph-inc.lua) expects text return from codeinjections.insertmovie to feed to "texsprint(ctxcatcodes". The 3D annotation code (it also seems not to work) has node.write variant commented out and replaced with "texsprint(ctxcatcodes" with "brrrr" comment! local annot, preview, ref = backends.pdf.helpers.insert3d { ...... } -- node.write(pdfannotation(width,-height,0,annot())) texsprint(ctxcatcodes,format("\\pdfannot width %ssp height %ssp {%s}",width,height,annot())) -- brrrr --~ if ref then -- wrong ! a direct ref should work --~ texsprint(ctxcatcodes,format("\\smash{\\pdfrefximage%s\\relax}",ref)) -- brrrr --~ end texsprint(ctxcatcodes,"\\stopfoundexternalfigure") And the question is: does it make sense to try to make the current 3D annotation handling code work by complaining to the maintainers and/or fixing it myself or nothing is supposed to work till migration to from "texsprint(ctxcatcodes" API to "node.write" API is complete? Sincerely, Michail

The answer to the left-right question, the recommended use of flushright and flushleft, is clear now. But the eccentricity of what apparently is the default layout is still a problem for me.

Compiling under Windows (Visual Studio 2008)
by Graham Douglas 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi I hope this message is not too off topic but I thought I would ask here first. I would very much like to (try...) to compile LuaTeX using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. But I'm not sure if this is likely to be enormously complex and maybe too difficult (for me, anyway). Does the list know it is possible to build LuaTeX under Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 --- if so, is this possible from Taco's source distribution without having to make substantial changes to anything. One small thing I can confirm is that Lunatic Python can be quite easily compiled to a Windows DLL to enable Python calls from Lua and hence LuaTeX on Windows. LuaTeX's support for exteral modules now makes it quite easy to do this. I can confirm this seems to work, although I've not really pushed it hard. The following very simple example does work. Inspiration for doing this is due to the intersting article by Luigi Scarso in the latest TUGBOAT. Here's a simple example (far away from the complexities of Luigi's work, but it shows the basic principle). This code is just quick hack to get it up and running. \directlua 0{ lib=package.loadlib('python.dll','luaopen_python') lib() pmw = python.globals() p=python.import('Image') im = p.open("c:\\logo.gif") r,s,t=im.format, im.size, im.mode tex.print(r,tostring(s),tostring(t)) sys = python.import("sys"); tex.print(tostring(sys.version_info)) } \stoptext Many thanks in advance to anyone who has time to share their expertise and insight on a Windows build. Why build it? Just as a way to learn more about how it works, that's it really. Warm wishes to all Graham

margin text
by Robert Blackstone 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hi all, This is a reaction to a post in another thread, setupinmargin failing, but it does not seem to directly concern the problem raised there (by Hans van der Meer). So I raise it as a new problem. I tried the code supplied by Luigi Scarso in ntg-context Digest, Vol 69, Issue 127, Message 1: \showframe \setuppapersize[A4][A3] \setuplayout[location=middle] \setupinmargin[left][align=left,foregroundcolor=red] \setupinmargin[right][align=right,foregroundcolor=blue] \starttext ABC\inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm,foregroundcolor=red]{R1 }} %% override blue, but not for frame \inleft{\tfx A small note in this margin. But we need to setup something before \ldots } \stoptext A few things in the result surprise, and worry, me: 1, the actual text page does not coincide with (what I assume is) the reserved space on the A3-folio (that is, it partially falls outside the area with the green border). Thus in particular the left margin with its margin text falls partly outside this area (which is also clear when one uses \setuppapersize[A4][A4] in the preamble. ) The margin itself is, of course, wide enough to contain the margin note. Why is this and how can it be avoided? In fact this usually happens to me: the margins partly fall outside the page. Very annoying. 2, \setupinmargin[left][align=left,.. ] actually right-aligns the left margin note and vice versa. To left-align it I had to give \setupinmargin[right]. Seems odd to me. Is this normal? Since I frequently have to use margin texts I hope somebody can help me out. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

three problems
by Michael Saunders 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

1. central headers with margin overhanging: I find that the following line: \setupheadertexts[margin][\rlap{\getmarking[section]}\hfill][\hfill\llap{\getmarking[subsection]}] will set up a header nicely, overhanging the margins. To be clear, I meant that: the left header text begins at the leftmost extreme of the left margin and goes as far right as it needs to, even above the text area, and the right header text begins whereever it has to, even above the text, to end at the rightmost extreme of the right margin. On the other hand, this code: \setupheadertexts[\setups{text a}] \startsetups[text a] \rlap{\getmarking[section]}\hfill \hfill --center text here-- \hfill \hfill\llap{\getmarking[subsection]} \stopsetups can place a center header text. Is there a way to do both? 2. marginal notes with columns: If I have a two-column text with margins on either side, is there a way for \inmargin{} or something like it to place text in the margin next to the column where it occurs? I haven't been able to avoid it overprinting the text in the opposite column. 3. leftward protrusion: When I look at my output with \showgrid, it's clear that there is no leftward protrusion at all. Everything is flush with the margin, even 'T' and 'J'. I'm using: \definefontfeature[...][default][...,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hanging,hz]

setupinmargin failing?
by Hans van der Meer 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

I tested margin notes and may have found a discrepancy with the (albeit old) manual. \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinmargin[][align=right,foregroundcolor=red] \starttext ABC\inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm,foregroundcolor=red]{R1}} \inleft{L1} \stoptext This shows un uncolored "L1". But according to the manual there is a parameter choice as in \setupframed. This means for example colored contents with foregroundcolor. The code above leaves "L1" black, but does honor the color inside the framed. I also fail to see a difference between the align options right, middle, left. Something wrong? Or something not understood? ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.20 22:59 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.23 int: english/ english Hans van der Meer

header in the middle on doublesided layout
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hello, I would like to set a different header on left and right page, but I would like it to be centered on page. How do I do that? The command \setupheadertexts[a][b] puts "a b" on one page and "b a" on the other while \setupheadertexts[a][b][c][d] puts "a b" on one page and "c d" on the other. On single-sided layouts I could use \setupheadertexts[a] or \setupheadertexts[][a][] but using 6 parameters on double-sided doesn't work. I am now hacking with \setupheadertexts[\hbox{\kern-5mm\myheaderright}][][][\hbox{\myheaderleft\kern-5mm}] \def\myheaderright{\hbox to "textwidth+10mm"{...}} but that's a bit ugly. Mojca

Selectively dropping page numbers
by Tom 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition, states that page numbers are normally omitted on pages containing only illustrations or tables, except in long sequences of figures or tables. Is it practical within ConTeXt to omit page numbers from a single page within a chapter? Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

Dear Mailinglist, I use the excellent BibTex module with this setup: \setupbibtex[database=biblio,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa,refcommand=short,sorttype=bbl,criterium=cited] So if I have something like this @ARTICLE{Akimoto2005, author = {R. Akimoto and B. S. Li and K. Akita and T. Hasama}, ... } in my *.bib file, the \cite[Akimoto2005] results in [ALAH05]. Is there a way to get only the first author with three letters and the year ([Aki05]) in the citation? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks Hubertus

incorrect size of the font bounding box with MkIV
by Yanrui Li 24 Mar '10

Hi Hans, I tried to get the boundry of Chinese punctuation in the scrp-cjk.lua file. Such as the bounding box information of Chinese comma in the AdobeSongStd-Light.otf font: bbox[1] = 36, bbox[2] = -78, bbox[3] = 963, bbox[4] = 833 However I got the following result with luatex + plain bbox[1] = 171, bbox[2] = -58, bbox[3] = 370, bbox[4] = 240 The latter is right. What's the reason for it? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui

overlays not working
by ARCOR 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hello context gurus, while learning about page design, I used Hans Hagen's sample file named "Simple Cover Page" from the wiki as a starting point. But it does not work. The overlay will not show up. The text itself is typeset properly. What I found out: Source: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Cover_Page saved as "test.tex". Procedure: 1 using TeX Live 2009 texexec --xtx test.tex No overlay, text ok 2 using TeX Live 2009 texexec --pdf test.tex No overlay, text ok 3 using online engine on live.contextgarden.net (pdfTeX) No overlay, text ok 4 using online engine on live.contextgarden.net (XeTeX) No overlay, text ok 5 using ConTeXt minimals context test.tex All working just fine System: ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala) amd64, TeX Live 2009 without any modifications The only successful procedure was (5) with the most current ConTeXt-minimals distribution and therefore using the Mk IV version. Is the file not suitable for Mk II? Is something wrong with Mk II in TeX Live 2009? What am I doing wrong here? Best regards, Michael Ewe, Germany

framedtext
by Hans van der Meer 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

I experience the following behaviour of framedtext in relation to inright and inleft. With \startframedtext[offset=value] the positioning of left and right margin inserts shifts with the size of 'value'. The next example shows the shift to the right of L2 and R2 (both mkii and mkiv). Change the offset to see the margin notes L2/R2 shift. \starttext \showframe[text,margin,edge] ABC \inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R1}} \inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L1}} \startframedtext[offset=2cm] XYZ \inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R2}} \inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L2}} \stopframedtext \stoptext Pictured: ..L1.|...................|.R1 .....|.L2................|.....R2 .....|...................| .....^...................^ ^ = frame lines of showpage I wonder if this is correct behaviour. The margins are imho fixed areas, defined as the areas on the left/right of the textframe. One would expect the margin texts put just there, not influenced by something that happens to be placed in the text. Or am I amiss? Hans van der Meer

Technically I think it's possible. Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: Please, CCme.

\hyphenation problems
by Tom 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

When I wrap text around the right side of a figure, the justification along the right margin is a bit ragged in a couple of places. One problem is that it can't hyphenate cfbdatawarehouse.com, even when I provide the hyphenation via a \hyphenation command. The malhyphenation error seems to be caused by the embedded dot. Another line ends with last letter of the last word on the line (head) extending into the margin. That word cannot be hyphenated. How does on get the justification to work correctly in such cases?

Missing math symbols (MK-IV)
by gummybears 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, In a previous email I commented that the integral symbols, when using the unicode font Cambria or Asana, don't look ok. It has to do with the way e.g \iint, \iiint etc are constructed. Whether or not the symbol is present in the unicode font, the tex macro \repeatintegral is used (fallback option). I don't want to use the Cambria or Asana font entirely, as the other math typesetting doesn't look nice. Just for the missing symbols. Found an earlier post (Thomas A. Schmitz titled symbols in luatex date 2008-01-02) where a solution was presented by Wolfgang Schuster. Basically I am using his solution and came up with the following (only works ok in text mode). Also looked at definemathcharacter but not sure how to make it work with unicode fonts (could not find any documentation, looked at the source files, but don't know what to fill in for the 6 parameters to definemathcharacter) Question : what is the right way I can make this work (definemathcharacter, something else) ? Question : some of these symbols are defined in char-def.lua but missing in math-vfu.lua. What is needed to make them active ? Can I do it myself and send a list of missing symbols with their unicode value ?
