Dash missed in Windows' Times
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hello In the latest mkiv beta, dash (--) is not replaced by proper symbol if I use standard Windows' Times New Roman. I get two hyphens instead. Actually, ConTeXt complains a lot about missed unicode "points". Please, see log attached. How to fix it? Regards, Vyatcheslav

The best place to install fonts so it is discovered by mkiv?
by Janneman 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

According to an earlier and recent thread http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20091021.090505.4153465c.en.html#20… that finally were solved, thanks to Wolfgang and also Aditya. Here is a following question: Is there some convention where to place files, documents, fonts, modules and stuff? It seems in my case that LuaTools wasn't able to find the fonts in ~./fonts or even /usr/share/fonts. Not either in my minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/fonts/ directory But I had to create texmf-project/fonts/.. to make context to discover the fonts. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTex mentioned about setting osfontdir=.... which I did in my my /home/user/.bash_profile linked to .bashrc cat .bash_profile PATH=$PATH:/home/janerik/bin . ~/context/tex/setuptex set OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" It seems to have no effect. Very strange! :-( Here is my output from Luatools --generate command LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/texmf LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-project LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-fonts LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-local LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-context LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-linux LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-extra LuaTools | fileio: locating list of /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf LuaTools | fileio: scanning path /home/janerik/context/tex/texmf-local It seems to only search these directories.

Problem or bug with enumerations in latest ConTeXt beta
by Kevin D. Robbins 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello all, I have attached a fairly minimal example that demonstrates three problems I currently have using an enumeration for code listings. The first problem is that \placelist[enumeration:listing] errors out with: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> ) \placestructurelist ...sts.process("#1","#2","#3") } \doplacerawlist ...mber \listparameter \c!number } \stoplistreferences \endgr... \doplacelist ...ginoflist \doplacerawlist [#1][#2] \doendoflist <to be read again> \par l.24 The second problem is that \in{Listing}[lst:b] produces Listing 2.2 rather than Listing 2 as I expect since I've asked for numbering way=bytext in \defineenumeration. How can I get the number produced by \in{Listing}[lst:b] to match the listing number typeset in the listing title? The third problem is that the document hyperlinks produced by \in{Listing}[lst:b] with interaction enabled don't seem to do anything. Cheers, Kevin

Context Typescript Maker tool
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hi all, I just developed a GUI tool called "Context Typescript Maker". It's purpose is to simplify font setup under Windows. 1) Point to folder with fonts (ttf, otf); 2) Specify typescript name; 3) Specify which font from the list will stand for Serif, which for SerifBold, and so on (select values from dropdown list); 4) Press "Create Typescript" and copy-paste the code into the preamble of your document. That's all! Example of code created: \starttypescript [serif] [TimesTenLTStd] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [TimesTenLTStd-Bold.otf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [TimesTenLTStd-BoldItalic.otf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [TimesTenLTStd-Italic.otf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [TimesTenLTStd-Roman.otf] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [TimesTenLTStd] \definetypeface [TimesTenLTStd] [rm] [serif] [TimesTenLTStd] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[TimesTenLTStd]\setupbodyfont[TimesTenLTStd, 11pt] The tools is written mostly by my own purposes (I often like to play with new fonts, and script preparation in this case is really boring). But I share it with a community and will be glad to improve it on requests. Any feedback (good/bad) is appreciated! P.S. Almost forgot.

Page Numbering Hell
by Bryant Eastham 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

All- A few days ago when I first stumbled on ConTeXt I was very, very excited. I have some 500 pages of technical documentation that could benefit from this, particularly since I need Japanese font support. But it has to be real. I'm sorry if this sounds caustic, but after 12 hours of failed attempts to even get a minimal document formatted I have some serious questions for the list: 1. Is Mark IV real? I am only somewhat joking here - after spending hours searching for reasonable documentation on even the most trivial options, I am left wondering whether this is something I want to use... 2. ConTeXt looks great. But what is current? Seriously, I like the look and the support (particularly Unicode). But going over documentation I cannot make heads or tails of what to do. Mark II? Mark IV? TeTeX? LuaTeX? If I really want to use this, what should I use? 3. Having answered #2, where in the world is a reference manual!!! I mean one that actually *documents the options*. 4. Having answered #3, are there any current examples that actually work? The snippets from the mailing are great, but they are just snippets. That doesn't help me. Now, to resolve my immediate issue, and just because I will not be able to sleep well until I figure this out (yes, I am fixated on this). I want this document structure: Contents 1. Chapter 1-1 1.1 Section 1-2 2. Chapter 2 2-1 2.1 Section 2-2 Table of contents on page "i". Even/odd, each chapter starts on right page. Page number (as in 2-2) in top margin. Mark IV, Lua document. I have tried hundreds of different combinations. If it cannot do this, the I will (with sadness) move on. I'm sure that it would take someone who understands this about 5 minutes to write (if that). -Bryant Panasonic Electric Works Laboratory of America - SLC Lab 4525 So.

How to learn context?

Hi, I am a C++ programmer by profession. Typesetting is my hobby. I used to use LaTeX and Groff with ms macro package. Then I found ConTeXt and I find pdfs created mostly by Hans Hagen awesome. How to learn ConTeXt so that I can create documents of similar complexity. As a programmer I find most of the information with google when I face problem with LaTeX. But for ConTeXt I find very little information. All I know is wiki.contextgarden.net and manuals written by Hans. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

footnote-number alignment
by achim＠jander.de 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Hello, after struggling some weeks to get everything to work, i'm now nearly satisfied with typsetting via context. But there is one problem left for that i cant find any solution, even after googling for hours. I am typesetting documents with a large amount of footnotes, and want to have the footnote-number aligned to the correct decimal place. To explain: page one has footnotes 1 to 8, numbers are left-aligned, everything is good ----- 1 footnotetext 2 footnotetext 3 footnottext .... 8 footnotetext page two has footnotes 9 to 12, so I want to have 9 footnotetext 10 footnotetext ... but i only get: 9 footnotetext 10 foootnotextex. I think, there is no easy solution, but maybe someone can give me a push to the direction how i can realize that behaviour (btw same problem is with numbered lists) Any hint is welcome, Thanks a lot Achim Jander

Curiosity about math.random in LuaTeX
by Otared Kavian 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

Hi all, This is a curiosity question about the function math.random coming from Lua and used in mkiv: if I typeset the following test file in mkiv, no matter when nor how many times, the sequence of numbers which are output are the same… %%% begin test-random.tex \starttext \dorecurse{25}{% \ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(110,150))} \qquad \ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(math.random(110,120),math.random (140,150)))} \par} \stoptext %%% end test-random.tex Indeed I guess that this is due to the random seed used by LuaTeX: is it possible to force a new random seed upon each typesetting? Thanks for your attention: OK

line numbering
by Andreas Harder 25 Oct '09

Good morning everyone! I've discovered some strange behavior from line numbering (attachment). The size of the line numbers changes after a page break. Furthermore some settings for line numbers do not work. I tried some of the examples from strc-lnt.mkiv (at the bottom) … I want the numbers on the right side and would assume \setuplinenumbering [location=right, align=left]. Please have a look. Perhaps I did something wrong. Greetings Andreas

How do you position/move a MPgraphic?

Hi! How do you position/move a MPgraphic? Let us us say that you have the MPgraphics "somebackground" and "somecolorcircle" (See example below). These MPgraphics are both framed and used as a background, upon which "sometext" is written on. How can you freely move or position "somecolorcircle"?

Simple Newbie Question.
by Stirling Westrup 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

I'm hoping the answer to this question should be obvious, but I'm having no luck with it. I'm trying to do a layout for a 1-page datasheet. At the very bottom of the page, in some tiny font, I need to put a copyright notice and datasheet ID number. Ideally I'd like to define some fixed text block containing the text (as its exact size and font have not yet been finalized), and then somehow define the height of the footer to be exactly equal to the height of the text block. Once I've done that, I need to place the text in the footer. I've been going back and forth through the scattered bits of ConTeXt manual and the wiki, but I'm having no luck in figuring out how one might do this. -- Stirling Westrup Programmer, Entrepreneur. https://www.linkedin.com/e/fpf/77228 http://www.linkedin.com/in/swestrup http://technaut.livejournal.com

interstrutline spacing [with tex file!]
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 25 Oct '09

25 Oct '09

[oops, tex file attached this time] Dear gang, I am trying to create a grid background based on strut depth, so each line of text lies right in between the top and bottom of the respective strut. I borrowed some code from the wiki, and need help to solve the following [and I'm no metapost guru...]: 1. Line 31, 2nd line of pdf: How can I keep \framed[align={r2l,middle}] and get the interstrutline to still span the textwidth. In other words, every strutline should be of textwidth, regardless of alignment 2. Compare pages 2 and 3: page 2 has extra space at the top, perhaps a skipped line. How can I suppress that so that the first line always starts at the top of the textblock? 3. On page 3: How can I control the continuation of the strutlines past the final textline? What if, eg, I wanted to fill the rest of the page with strutlines? 4. How can I change the width and color of the strutline itself? 5. I use \setuplayout[grid=on], but I'm not sure that guarantees a grid ... \start-\stoplinecorrection seems to give a different result. [\showgrid seems broken so I can't directly compare]. Any tips to guarantee a grid? 6. Is there a way to pass the interstrutline background to \framed [so I don't have to type \start-\stopinterstrutline etc]? This kind of gridded background is very common in eg, the Arabic-script tradition, although it has many pedagogical and other uses as well. A general strutline mechanism might make a good addition to the distribution, or at least a nice module... Any help or tips to improve this background will be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I am new to ConTeXt and juste created my first document, however there seems to be a strange behaviour in the output. Indeed I see a lot of duplicated bibliography entries. Moreover using sort=author did not sort the list. My document layout is as follows: usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=thesis,sort=author] \starttext \startbodymatter \chapter{} \section{} \subsection{} \subsubsubject{} ... \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{Bibliography} \placepublications[criterium=all] \stopappendices \stoptext I am using texlive-2009, LuaTeX beta-0.43.0-2009081914. Thanks a lot!

Simplest slides
by Guilherme P. de Freitas 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Hi everybody, I would like to be able to make very simple slides with ConTeXt, and I need a template. I would be very grateful if someone could point me to one. Think Apple's Keynotes or Lawrence Lessig's presentations. Plain background, not too much stuff on the slides whenever possible. If you need a more concrete example, here it is: http://archive.gpfreitas.net/work/seminars/en/sisl/turingt-pres.pdf It's just that I am experimenting with taking notes while I read a paper, and make a presentation direct from the notes. For that, using my favorite text editor is a lot better than using Apple's Keynote (which is otherwise very nice). Thanks, Guilherme -- Guilherme P. de Freitas http://www.gpfreitas.com

Page Numbering of First and Last Page
by Bryant Eastham 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

All- Sorry if this is simple - I have searched but not found an answer. New to ConTeXt, not LaTeX. Given: % output=pdftex % environment file \setuppapersize[A4] \setuplist[chapter,section][chapternumber=yes] \setuppagenumbering[location={header,right},way=bysection,chapternumber= yes] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=no] \setupsectionblock[backpart][page=no] \mainlanguage[en] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter[ch1]{Chapter 1} \section{Chapter 1/Section 1} Text. \page Text. \stopbodymatter \stoptext Questions: 1. What controls the page number that appears above the table of contents? It currently shows "1". 2. Why does the page number on the last page not include the chapter? It currently shows "2". Reading over some past posts I can postulate that the page numbering is being reset before the last page has been output. But no matter where I put my "setuppagenumbering" command the first page and last page don't seem to be affected. Better said, they are affected but not in the way I would expect...

section numbers
by Thomas A. Schmitz 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

Hi all, I could have sworn there was a thread recently about the same question, but can't find it: I want section numbers without the prefixed chapter number. Isn't this supposed to work? \setuphead[section] [previousnumber=no] \starttext \chapter{One} \section{one} I was expecting the section to be numbered 1, not 1.1! \stoptext It prints "1.1" both in mkii and mkiv. What is the magic bullet? Thanks Thomas

Context & emacs-muse [possibly OT]
by Roger Mason 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hello, I'm using emacs-muse to write a document to be published to ConTeXt. The document contains a little math. According to this wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_and_emacs-muse#Math it is possible to include math in muse using <math> and </math> tags, which trigger corresponding $ markup in the ConTeXt output. The problem is that a muse expression like <math>\sum type = nMn</math> is published as \switchtobodyfont[small]math\switchtobodyfont[big]\textbackslash{}sum type = nMn\switchtobodyfont[small]/math\switchtobodyfont[big] rather than the expected $\sum type = nMn$. The muse manual for the version I'm using (3.12) makes no mention of the <math> tags, so I'm wondering if it is an add-on written by (or available to) someone on this list. Thanks for any help (and sorry if this is a bit off topic). Roger

embed fonts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi all, this seems like a very basic question, but I haven't found anything on the wiki and in the archive: I'm typesetting a book with mkiv, and the printer wants all fonts completely embedded. I knew how to do this in mkii, but what about mkiv? (Btw, I'm using \enableprotruding and \enableadjusting, would this make any difference for embedding the fonts?) Thanks, and all best Thomas

highlighting chars on a path
by Aurelien Giraud 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hello, I am new to ConTeXt and I have looked on the internet for a way to do something special. Unfortunately I have not found any solution. I hope this is the right place for such a question. I apologise otherwise. I would like to highlight (e.g. put in bold, or change the color...) any character on a page which sits on a chosen path. I would like to be able to position for instance an invisible circle on a page and have all the characters "in contact" with this circle change color so that the circle become visible via these characters. Is it something I could do with ConTeXt? Thanks in advance. Aurelien

[MP] labels of points on a circle
by dalyoung 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi all, To draw 9 points with labels, I used the following code. \startbuffer[point2] path p; numeric i; i=1; for j =0.5,1.3,2.5,3,4,4.8,6,7.2,7.9: z[i] = dir(j*45) scaled 4cm; i:= i+1; endfor; p := z1..z2..z3..z4..z5..z6..z7..z8..z9..cycle; draw p; drawpoints p; drawpointlabels p; \stopbuffer \placefigure[middle][]{}{\processMPbuffer[point2]} Then it draw everything well except writing labels inside the circle. How can I write the labels of the points outside of the circle? I'd like to draw 9 points randomly on a circle. Is there a nice way to do it? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Combining \sc and \em
by Tim Wraight 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi, Under the latest beta (2009.10.02 13:14), it doesn't seem possible to access \SerifCapsSlanted by combining the \em and \sc font switches. The following test case demonstrates this: --- \definefont [SlantyCaps][SerifCapsSlanted] \starttext {\em Italics works.} \par {\sc Small caps works.} \par {\em \sc But how do we combine them?} \par {\SlantyCaps Except like this?} \stoptext --- A project I'm working on has certain words which always appear in smallcaps, and I'd like them to be italicised if the context demands it (no pun intended). Greetings from London, Tim

Yes, this works. But my example was too simple.

framed and footnotes

Hi, I tried to put a footnote in a framed box, but the text of the footnote is not shown. Is that normal? Below you find a minimal sample of what I tried. I'm using mkiv 2009.10.02. %================================================================= \definecolor [caution] [r=1, g=.78, b=.62] \def\cautionbox#1{ \framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=caution,framecolor=red,align=normal,width=\textwidth]{#1}} \startbuffer \input tufte \stopbuffer \starttext \cautionbox{\getbuffer} \cautionbox{\getbuffer\footnote{And now a little footnote} \par\getbuffer} But as the text continues\footnote{And now a BIG footnote}. \stoptext %================================================================= Best regards Wolfgang Murth

index entries inside footnotes
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Hi all, for the book project I'm typesetting, I need two indexes. I discovered that there is a slight problem with index entries in footnotes in mkiv. Here's a minimal example: \starttext Cats\index{cats} \index{cats}and \footnote[1]{dogs\index{dogs} and} more \index{dogs}dogs. \placeregister[index] \stoptext This gives the expected result in mkii; in mkiv, a spurious comma is added in front of the entry "dogs," which occurs inside a footnote. (btw, ideally I would like the index to have "1 n. 1" - can this be achieved?) All best Thomas
