Hi, Just a question: what's the equivalent of \overbar in math mode. \underbar works in math mode, but \overbar does not. Thanks a lot, Xan.

Order of results of \placepbulications

Whatever I do, I cannot get another order than some default ordering (order in which they are used in the main document) with \placepublications. ConTeXt wiki is no help nor is Google. So here is the question: how can I get my references list in order of author name or in order of year? Thanks, G

It seems that new emacs 23.1 allows viewing of pdf, cfr. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/NEWS.23.1 """ ** DocView mode allows viewing of PDF, PostScript and DVI documents. One can also search for a regular expression in the document. For details, see the commentary in doc-view.el. PDF and DVI files are now opened in Doc View mode by default.

How to move an inframed block?
by rene hassel 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

Hello Everybody, does somebody know how to move an inframed text, or framed text, RELATIVE to another framed text ( or inframed text). Minimal example: ### begin example: \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \framed{\inframed{Hello} Everybody} \stoptext ### end example. How to move "\inframed{Hello}" relative to the framed text "\framed{ Everybody}"? Idea is to have a framed text with a head like "Example", "Definition" or "Theorem", just as the "Zapf-examples" in the MetaFun manual on page 132 and further. But I want a solution "without" the use of MetaFun. Can I put the text "Hello" in a frame on the boundary of the frame "\framed{ Everybody}"? If so, I'm interested how the backgrounds or overlays of the different frames react. I'm intersted in an easy solution, best regards, Rene' van Hassel

latest beta has trouble loading fonts on OS X
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi all, Hans, I have trouble using my own fonts with the latest beta on my OS X box. The problem appears to be that it is unable to create the database. When I run (on mtxrun --script fonts --list I get as the last lines of my output MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /Library/Fonts/**.dfont MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /System/Library/Fonts/**.dfont font loading failed for /System/Library/Fonts/Keyboard.dfont It appears this particular font cannot be loaded, so the entire database fails. On my linux laptop, everything works as expected. So my questions are: 1. What can be done about it? 2. Where is OSFONTDIR set on mkiv? I specifically do NOT want my system fonts used by ConTeXt; everything I want to use with TeX is in one of my texmf trees. How can I prevent mkiv from taking the system paths into account? All best Thomas

Buglet in figure placement
by Willi Egger 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi Hans, I was busy to place figures in a text. One of them should be placed left and surrounded by text. I saw then that the text was (partly) typeset over the figure. This has to do with \quotation{...}. If I place a \strut before the \quotation the text is correctly placed next to the figure. Would you be so kind to have a look into this matter? example: \startbuffer[ward] \input ward \stopbuffer \setuplayout[location=middle] \starttext \placefigure [left,none] [] {} {\externalfigure[hacker][height=.3\textheight]} \quotation{\getbuffer[ward]} % \strut\quotation{\getbuffer[ward]} \stoptext Running LuaTeX 0.42 and Context 14-08-2009 Kind regards Willi

leqslant for Cambria Math

What is the right way to fix or work around such problems? (Complaining to MS does not count). Sincerely, Michail

Re: [NTG-context] problem with layers and line spacing
by Brian R. Landy 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Understood, but actually it is obeying the 12pt switchtobodyfont for the interline spacing in the backgrounds. It is not using either the layer's switchtobodyfont, which I think should be correct behavior, nor is it obeying the setupbodyfont. Note that the font size is correct, it is the interline spacing that is incorrect. Thanks, Brian On Aug 11, 2009, at 6:11 PM, Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> wrote: > Brian R.

fit & width don't seem to get along in itemize lists
by U Avalos 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

As per the wiki & mailing lists, the following should give me a numbered list with the numbers right aligned: \startitemize[n,fit,packed] [itemalign=flushright,distance=12pt,width=60pt] \dorecurse{10}{\item blablabla} \stopitemize Unfortunately, with the "fit" setting, the "width" setting stops working. (However, "fit" seems to be necessary for the right-alignment.) What I would like to do is finetune the spacing after the number. Any ideas? Thanks!

Context and Circuitikz

Hi all. After a request to make Circuitikz compatible with Context, I tried my hand at it a bit and I would say it's mostly done. I'm having some trouble with the module mechanism of context though (inputting the t-context.tex file seems to work, but using the module does not), and I'd need some help with this. Could I send anybody the code as it is, and possibly get some feedback on the kind of errors I get? Thank you! M. Redaelli

lpeg substitution
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi all, I'm working on my Greek module again and am trying to filter and massage the input via lpeg, but there's something I don't quite get. As a minimal example: suppose I want to substitute A and B in my input with X and leave all other letters alone. Here's my attempt: \startluacode do local replace = { A = "X", B = "X", } local dosub = (lpeg.Cs(1)) / replace local subs = (dosub)^0 function test (string) tex.sprint(lpeg.match(subs,string)) end end \stopluacode \def\Substitute#1{\ctxlua{test("#1")}} \starttext \Substitute{ABC} \stoptext It substitutes alright, but the "C" is not included in the stream which ctxlua gives to TeX. How can I modify my lpeg pattern? Thanks, and all best Thomas

Change whitespace before item?
by U Avalos 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Say I want to change the whitespace before an item in an enumeration. The diagram below: |.....(a) Item 2 |.....(b) item 2 Say I want to change the whitespace (represented by the dots) in a list? How can I do that? Tried various settings: changing margin, adding hskip, but nothing seems to do the trick. There doesn't seem to be anything in the docs... How can I get a question answered on this list, BTW? It seems that no one either knows anything or are too busy for simple questions. FYI, devs, this language is going to die if you don't get more users....

problem with layers and line spacing
by Brian R. Landy 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, I am attempting to do some work with layers that can repeat (and update) using \startsetups & \stopsetups. However I find that the line spacing in a \framed in the layers is not alterable and instead tracks the font size on the page. I'm attaching a simple example (it shows the same issue under MKII and MKIV, although the \vbox{} example does not work under MKII). If you remove the \startsetups and \stopsetups the line spacing works like it should. While they are used, the line spacing in the layer's \framed tracks the setting in \switchtobodyfont[12pt]. It does not track to either 6pt or 8pt. And I can't find a way to reset the spacing (I tried adding in a \setupinterlinespace[reset]). Am I doing something wrong? I've tried with MKIV 2009.06.03 and 2009.08.07, and MKII at contextgarden. Thanks! Brian \setupbodyfont[8pt]% \starttext \definelayer[RCheaderleft][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]% \definelayer[RCheaderright][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]% \startsetups[RClayers]% \setlayer[RCheaderleft][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace]{\vbox{Line 1\\ Line 2}}% \setlayer[RCheaderright][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace] {\switchtobodyfont[6pt]\framed[align={middle,flushright},width=broad]{Line 1\\ Line 2}}% \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page][setups=RClayers,background={RCheaderleft,RCheaderright}]% \switchtobodyfont[12pt] \dorecurse{250}{test\par} \stoptext

missing space between text and a formula

addtransparencygroup()
by Peter Rolf 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hi, in the function codeinjections.addtransparencygroup() there is a tostring() around the dictionary. This results in '/Group (<< dictionary >>)'. Removing the tostring function gives the desired result. BTW: thanks for keeping this part open. I'm currently trying to adapt my 'codeinjection' stuff and it helps a lot, if you can do this without patching some files. I need to insert stuff into /Info, /Catalog, PDFpageattribute and PDFdocumentcolorspace (guess that's all). Best wishes, Peter

Using verbatim text with combinations

git repository
by Patrick Gundlach 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hi, I don't know if you have noticed that the git repository has been replaced by a newer one. Due to the contradiction between the rather linear development and the non-linear storage in the repository I have chosen that all releases will be in a single branch 'master' and tagged as stable or beta. Please consider the git repository as experimental, at least until the end of the conference in delft.

Ruby 1.9.1 and non-ascii char parsing in .tui file
by Jose Augusto 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, A few weeks ago I reported a problem with ruby 1.9.1, which was solved by removing the offending .tui line (Mojca and Hans AFAIR). The problem was related with the existence of non-ascii chars in the .tui file. Sadly it strikes again, now when chars with accents appear in titles (sections, subsections, etc...). The parsing of the line signaled below in the end of this message, from a .tui file, fails in ruby 1.9.1, but not in ruby 1.8.7. The error which is returned is also shown. If I remove the chars with accents from the section title all goes well. I'm using Mkii (--context=current). One of the advantages of ruby 1.8 over 1.8 is tht it is 3 times faster... However, ruby made lots of changes in string manipulation and storing when moving from 1.8 to 1.9, and that must be the source of the problem. I tracked the error to texutil.rb, line 1035: when /^c (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1]) but then i got lost in the Classes/Modules jungle :-) in that script. Perhaps it is this this procedure, in line 403 of texutil.rb, which triggers the error? def MyCommands::reader(logger,data) @@commands.push(data.shift+data.collect do |d| "\{#{d}\}" end.join) end Thx for your support in advance. If I can help in the solution of the problem please direct me in the task. I have some experience with ruby (I started using it when the 1st pickaxe book edition was published, around 2001) and with perl. But not with Lua :-)... Although I read alraedy quite a lot of Roberto's Lua book, I didn't started coding in Lua yet :-) Kind Regards J.

back to Context
by Ciro Soto 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

I started a small project of ~100 pages and tried to do it with Scribus since it required pictures, inserts, etc. I found that Scribus was not going to be able to handle the task so easily. So I am back to Context. Here is my task: in the right pages, I want the text (~50 pages of text) and in the left pages I would like a picture and a quotation coming from the right page (this quotation I am willing to do manually). My question is, how do I make one \setuplayout for the odd pages, and another for the even pages? I may use pictures that bleed over the upper left corner of the left page. I used the option \placefigure [opposite], which puts the picture in the opposite page, very nice. However, I have two problems with it: it may put the picture in the right page (opposite to the text in the left page), and I can't make the picture bleed because my \setuplayout is for both pages. I can work with what I have done so far, but I wonder if my task is possible with the current Context macros. thank you Ciro -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com https://www.createspace.com/3392936

Hi Hans, what happened with the option to set font features with more memorizable names you mentioned in http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/028330.html It would be nice to write \definefontfeature[mine][smallcaps=yes] instead of \definefontfeature[mine][smcp=yes] where you have to know the four letter code for the feature.

texworks with context on linux
by Alex Lubberts 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi, Yesterday I wanted to try out texworks for editing and typesetting my context documents. I installed texworks from the ubuntu launchpad ppa since '--goodies=texworks' doesn't work on linux-64, yet. Then I ran into a few problems: * The script mtx-texworks.lua wasn't able to start texworks because "unable to locate texworks". In the loop that's searching all the binpaths I put in 'logs.simple("%s",p)' and found out that binpaths only consists of one element: the complete PATH variable. I guess it means that there's something wrong with the function file.split_path, but I don't understand what's happening there. When I replaced the loop with 'p="/usr/bin/texworks"' texworks started as expected. * However the typesetting engines were not correctly set up. Texworks (at least on linux) seems to be looking for a file TeXworks.ini. The one in the minimals distribution is called texworks.ini. Renaming this solved it... * ... almost. In the TeXworks.ini file I also had to replace all occurunces of 'mtxrun.cmd' (doesn't work on linux, is this correct for Windows?) with 'mtxrun'. I wish I could help solve these points, but since I'm not much of a programmer I cannot solve the first issue, and the other are just a matter of renaming/replacing??

List of Figures by chapter?
by epsilon cygni 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, I'm working on my thesis essay. I've been asked to present a list of figures divided by chapters, that is, one single list of figures splitted by chapters: Chapter 1 fig. 1.1 Figure a fig. 1.2 Figure b Chapter 2 fig. 2.1 Figure c fig. 2.2 Figure d ... you get the idea. At my first attempt I thought * \completelistoffigures[criterium=chapter]* might do the trick, unluckily It didn't work out. Then I figured I could make up a specific list of figures for each chapter by defining a float: \definefloat [ChapOnefigure] [ChapOnefigures] [figure] and use \placeChapOnefigure at chapter one whenever I would put up a figure. The list would be listed where appropiate by: \completelistofChapOnefigures and so on for as many chapters I got. This actually works :D ! What I have not been able to achive is to customize each list, i.e. change attributes like number style, page number style, add labels.. I thought that would be the easiest after getting the lists running.. I tried with *\setupfloats*, *\setuplist* and nothing yet. How can I change the apperance of these lists? I would very much appreciate any help. - Ana Hdz
