MKII font-chi.tex bug fix
by Yue Wang 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, there I am still using MKII to do Chinese typesetting. As I mentioned before, User should use this in their source files to produce correct spaces between the chinese characters and english words 中文English\ 中文 instead of 中文 English 中文 or 中文English中文 which is quite annoying. In order to remove this constraint, here is what I have found out: Uncomment line 248 and line 267 of font-chi.tex will do. --- font-chi.tex.orig 2008-02-23 11:32:55.000000000 +0800 +++ font-chi.tex 2008-02-23 11:30:48.000000000 +0800 @@ -245,7 +245,6 @@ \insertchineseglyph \ifcase\chineseAstatus\relax \hskip\chineseinterglyphskip % unknown - \hskip\chinesesurroundskip \ifcase\chineseSstatus \hskip\chineseSsignal \or @@ -264,7 +263,6 @@ \hskip\chineseRsignal \or \hskip\chineseinterglyphskip % space - \hskip\chinesesurroundskip \hskip\chineseSsignal \fi \or % left This patch works pretty good on most of the cases if you use 中文 English 中文. however, 中文English中文 makes no space between chinese and English. and changing the \chinesesurroundskip will only affect the space after English. But it works now. I hope this information helpful. Maybe ConTeXt experts can make more improvements in the future and test from ConTeXt users are helpful. Yue Wang

bug in typeset table in Chinese
by Yue Wang 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, I find that ConTeXt fails to typeset Chinese table right. Here is the TeX source: \enableregime[utf] \usemodule[units] \usemodule[chinese] \starttext \placetable[here][]{通風模式} \starttable[|c|c|c|] \NC 時間 \NC 通風模式 \NC 室內源 \NC\SR \HL \NC 0:00-8:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\FR \NC 8:00-18:00 \NC 機械通風 $n=5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 打印機每小時的起始十分鐘工作\NC\MR \NC 18:00-24:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\LR \stoptable \stoptext If everything in the table is English then ConTeXt typeset it right. but in this table all the chinese are aligned left, not centered.

c-code
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hallo, some times ago, I tried to use the module 'verb-c' but something like the following didn't work: \usemodule[verb-c] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startC "*\0" \stopC \stoptext Wolfgang Schuster told me, not to use 'verb-c' and to use for example: \setupcolors[state=start] \definetyping[C][option=C] \starttext \startC "*\0" \stopC \stoptext The problematic C-code is typeset ok here, but the colorscheme used, doesn't fit to C-code rather to TeX-Code. How can this be changed? Wolfgang

t-inifile, my first experience with lua
by Peter Münster 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hello, Hey, it's really fun to code in lua: pattern matching, easy table manipulation and so on, I should have learned it earlier! Since it's my first experience with lua, I would like to ask you for comments on the t-inifile.tex module, attached to this message. I tried to implement a demo-mode, but there are two small problems: - I don't know how to use \savebuffer, all line-endings disappear in the saved file - the utf-thinspace is ignored Cheers and thanks a lot to the luatex and MKIV developers!

References title in Norwegian
by Trond Lossius 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Hi, I'm writing a publication in Norwegian containing citations and references. I use \completepublications[criterium=all] at the end of the tex file to get the references. The only problem is that the title of it when typeset show up as "References" in English. Is it possible somehow to substitute that for the Norwgeian equivalent "Litteratur"? I'm using the MacTex distro from http://www.tug.org/mactex/ Thanks a lot, Trond

The quoted parts are moved to the left, on top of the image. What is wrong here? Gruß, Wolfgang

ini -> C -> lua -> context -> pdf
by Peter Münster 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello, I have to convert an "ini"-file to pdf. On the one hand, it's easy for me to do most things in C, on the other hand, I would like to enlarge my experience with lua and ConTeXt. So here my question to the experts: what languages would you use for the different tasks? In fact, I believe lua could do a good job for some tasks, but I'm not really sure. Here the details: Example "ini"-file with 2 entries (the real file has about 200 entries): [temp_room] comment = the room temperature in °C description = This value must be sent at least once per 15 minutes, \ but only if a local sensor is connected to the device. size = 16 channel = master fb = RTS dpt = 2.009 dir = o [power] comment = the actual power available in % description = This value is only used to calculate the energy \ consumption. size = 8 channel = slave fb = HVA dpt = 4.307 dir = i The tasks: - put theses entries into a structured table (easy to do in C and the iniparser library http://ndevilla.free.fr/iniparser/ but it could be nice to do it in lua) - sorting (several PDF-documents with different sorting: by name, size, channel or other values) - filtering, for example _ must be converted to \_ and % to \% (same question: C, lua or ConTeXt) - formatting with nice layout (certainly with ConTeXt) For example, the first entry could become: 1.) temp_room, the room temperature in °C ----------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ | Master | RTS | Output with datapoint type 2.009 (16 bits) | |___________|_________|______________________________________________| This value must be sent at least once per 15 minutes, but only if a local sensor is connected to the device. (Until now, I've coded just one line of lua-code in my life...) Perhaps, with your help, the subject line could become: ini -> MKIV -> pdf Thanks in advance for any hints and encouragements! Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Heros (font)
by Michal Kvasnička 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hallo to you all. I'd like to use TeXGyre fonts termes and heros. I tried something like this: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \definetypeface[termes][rm][serif][termes][default][encoding=ec] \definetypeface[termes][ss][sans][heros][default][encoding=ec] \definetypeface[termes][mm][math][times][default][] \setupbodyfont[termes,18pt] However, I found that fonts as TeXGyreHeros-Regular are not defined. So I added this: \loadmapfile[qhv-ec.map] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-Regular][ec-qhvr][encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-Italic][ec-qhvri][encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-Bold] [ec-qhvb][encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-BoldItalic] [ec-qhvbi][encoding=ec] Now it works---I get not run-time error, and I can see some Helvetica-like fonts (though I'm not sure that the Czech accents are all right). However, the AdobeReader says I use some Quasi-Swiss fonts, not TeXGyreHeros as I would expect. What's wrong? I've got ConTeXt ver: 2008.01.28 21:28 MKII. I installed manually TeXGyre fonts from the TeXGyre page some days ago. Many thanks for your kind help. And greeting to all of you. Michal

cite-specific question
by Trond Lossius 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi, in LaTeX I've been able to do cites in a number of different ways, depending on what's needed. In ConTeXt I've figured out how to do \cite[key] Full author list and year (Watson and Crick 1953) as well as how to add reference to the page number using \cite[extras={, page 5}[key]. But I'm wondering if it is possible to get something similar to \citeN{key}, \citeNP{key}, etc. in LaTeX: \cite{key} Full author list and year (Watson and Crick 1953) \citeA{key} Full author list (Watson and Crick) \citeN{key} Full author list and year. Watson and Crick (1953) \citeyear{key} Cite year only (1953) All the above have an NP variant without parentheses; Ex. \citeNP. Thanks, Trond

[OT] suggestion for books on (typo)graphic design
by Andrea Valle 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi to all and sorry for the OT, but here on the list there are some of the most competent people I know on the topic. I will start a course on graphic communication. The students are ground-zero programmers, all on mac, so I would like to use Nodebox (http://nodebox.net/) (Unluckily no time/space to introduce ConTeXt). I will focus on data visualization, so I was considering to adopt Tufte's classic The Visual Display etc. I've still not read Envisioning Information and Visual Explanations. Any ideas? I will have also to introduce basic elements of graphic communication (e.g. fonts, page composition, color usage etc). Suggestions? Many thanks!

Strange behavior of framed text
by Aditya Mahajan 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi, In core-rul.tex we have %D We define the general (and original) case by just saying: \defineframedtext[\v!framedtext] This gives strange user behavior. Consider the following \defineframedtext[test][width=broad] \showframe \starttext \starttest \input tufte \stoptest \startframedtext[test] \input tufte \stopframedtext \stoptext The two framedtext have different widths. Why not say \def\startframedtext {\dosingleempty\dostartframedtext} \def\stopframedtext{\dostopframedtext} Aditya

Adobe Reader, PNG transparency and colors
by Michal Kvasnička 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hallo you all. I found a strange problem. I create my slides with ConTeXt. Everything was all right before I included pictures in PNG with transparent background. Adobe Reader 8.1.2 under Linux (at least this one) changes colors on every page where such a PNG is included. Xpdf shows it all right. I wonder what could be the reason, and how to solve it. Can you hint me? You can see the behavior here: http://www.econ.muni.cz/~qasar/vyuka/inst/inst-slide01.pdf Notice difference in colors between the 2nd and 3rd page (the 3rd one includes PNG). PNG are created with Gimp. My ConTeXt is ver: 2008.01.28 21:28 MKII pdfTeX is 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) TeXExec is version 6.2.0 All under openSuSE Linux 10.3. When I start TeXExec, I got this warning: /usr/bin/texmfstart:1838: warning: Insecure world writable dir /home/qasar/bin in PATH, mode 040777 /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/system.rb:16: warning: Insecure world writable dir /home/qasar/bin in PATH, mode 040777 But I guess it has nothing to do with the color problem. Many greetings to all of you, and thanks to those answering me. ;-) Have a nice day. M.K.

As it stands, it seems safe to > say that, if colors don't work, then PGF is quite crippled in ConTeXt. No, the reason for the error is more subtle. PGF does try its best to work with ConTeXt colors. However, there is a difference between latex and context color usage, that gives rise to the error. The culprit in this case is: {$\displaystyle \tan \alpha \color{black}= \frac{{\color[red]\sin \alpha}}{{\color[blue]\cos \alpha}}$} Try this in a standalong context file (no pgf) and you will get an error. First you need to change \color{black} to \color[black]. Even then you will get an error. You need to use {$\displaystyle \tan \alpha {\color[black]= \frac{{\color[red]\sin \alpha}}{{\color[blue]\cos \alpha}}}$} (Notice the {...} around \color[black]). Then everything works fine. Here is a working example (latest pgf from cvs, but should also work with 1.18). \usemodule[tikz] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \starttikzpicture[scale=3] \clip (-2,-0.2) rectangle (2,0.8); \draw[step=.5cm,gray,very thin] (-1.4,-1.4) grid (1.4,1.4); \filldraw[fill=green!20,draw=green!50!black] (0,0) -- (3mm,0mm) arc (0:30:3mm) -- cycle; \draw[->] (-1.5,0) -- (1.5,0) coordinate (x axis); \draw[->] (0,-1.5) -- (0,1.5) coordinate (y axis); \draw (0,0) circle (1cm); \draw[very thick,red] (30:1cm) -- node[left=1pt,fill=white] {$\sin \alpha$} (30:1cm |- x axis); \draw[very thick,blue] (30:1cm |- x axis) -- node[below=2pt,fill=white] {$\cos \alpha$} (0,0); \draw[very thick,orange] (1,0) -- node [right=1pt,fill=white] {$\displaystyle \tan \alpha {\color[black]= \frac{{\color[red]\sin \alpha}}{{\color[blue]\cos \alpha}}}$} (intersection of 0,0--30:1cm and 1,0--1,1) coordinate (t); \draw (0,0) -- (t); \foreach \x/\xtext in {-1, -0.5/-\frac{1}{2}, 1} \draw (\x cm,1pt) -- (\x cm,-1pt) node[anchor=north,fill=white] {$\xtext$}; \foreach \y/\ytext in {-1, -0.5/-\frac{1}{2}, 0.5/\frac{1}{2}, 1} \draw (1pt,\y cm) -- (-1pt,\y cm) node[anchor=east,fill=white] {$\ytext$}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext Aditya

Bug? Cross referencing and \setuparranging
by Jeff Smith 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hi, There seems to be a bug with the current ConTeXt (2008.01.28). When using \setuparranging (I've tried more than one setup), cross-referencing doesn't work.

latest release doesn't "make"

Ahoi, just tried to update via ctxtools, but making formats stops at Greek hyphenation patterns: (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang- agr.pat ! Nonletter. l.234 ᾿ 2ρ1῾2ρ If I press "r" to continue I get a long list of more Greek "nonletters". Is that caused by the known LM change? Greetlings from Lake Constance!

trouble with indices
by Jesse Alama 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

I've noticed that with the most recent ConTeXt release I'm unable to make indices. This example fails: \starttext Hello, this \index{copula}is an index. \completeindex \stoptext The error I get is: chapter : 1 \headtext {index} ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. \stoppacked ->\par \ifvmode \egroup \ifdim \lastskip =\noparskipsignal \rela... \doutilities ...protectutilities \unprotect \fi #4 \the \everybeforeutilityre... \doplaceregister ...ster \stoppacked \stopcolumns \endgroup \fi \docompleteregister ...ter [\currentregister ][#2] \page [\v!yes ]\endgroup \fi <to be read again> \par l.6 ? The error arises both with pdftex or xetex. I think that some recent change must be responsible for this, because I didn't notice any problems with indices, say, a couple months ago. What might be going on? Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

setupreferenceformat questions
by Santy, Michael 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

Due to some fairly unique customer requirements for bibliography, we're using the simple bibliography discussed in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Bibliography) While this approach gives us more flexibility, I'm having trouble with a couple of things... 1) The code below wraps the reference number in brackets. How would I make the reference number superscript (like an endnote)? 2) The references in the text are numbered in the order the bibitems are defined in the bibliography, not the order on which they are cited in the text. How would I order them according to the order in which they occur in the text? Thanks, Mike Santy \setupinteraction[state=start] \definereferenceformat[cite][left={[},right={]}] \defineitemgroup [bibliography] [levels=1] \setupitemgroup [bibliography] [symbol=n, left={[}, right={]}, width=1.5em, stopper=, itemalign=flushright, inbetween={\blank[4pt]}] \appendtoks \let \bibitem \itemgroupitem \to \itemgroupcommands \starttext Now is the time\cite[ref2] for all good men\cite[ref1]. I would like the citations to be numbered based on the order in which they occur in the document, not in the bibliography. \section{References} \startbibliography \bibitem[ref1] This is my first reference \bibitem[ref2] This is the second reference \stopbibliography \stoptext

interaction query
by Alan Bowen 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

In my preface, I have \setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue,style=rm] \definehead[LevelBHead][subject] \setupsectionblock[LevelBHead][number=no,page=right] \setuphead[LevelBHead][style={\tf\rm},interaction=yes] and in the source file proper, \LevelBHead{Comment 3: {\em In de caelo} {\tf 481.12--15}\hfill ref.\ \at[fnComment3]n\in[fnComment3]} When I compile the file I get the proper heading and the cross- reference works as it should. What is odd is that this reference is not in blue. All my other kinds of cross-references look and behave as they should. Any remedies for this admittedly minor problem will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Alan PS I am using mkii. A.

Problem with Portuguese hyphenation
by Maurício 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hi, In Portuguese, the rule about hyphenating word that contain hyphens themselves is to preserve the hyphen in the next line. For instance, the sentence "Seria bom se eu pudesse tê-lo mantido como amigo, mas por mais bem-intencionado que eu fosse, não foi possivel" should be hyphenated like that (justification adapted just for that example): Seria bom se eu pudesse tê- -lo mantido como amigo, mas por mais bem- -intencionado que eu fosse, não foi possivel. However, Context does that like this way: Seria bom se eu pudesse tê- lo mantido como amigo, mas por mais bem- intencionado que eu fosse, não foi possivel" What should I do to correct that? Thanks, Maurício

XML: mapping definiton on the fly?
by Johannes Graumann 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Dear XML-processing inclined, I was wondering whether with MarkV it is possible to parse an XML file that contains style definitions as well as there usage and create context mappings for them on the fly. In the example fragment below this would mean: - scan the file until hitting the "<office:automatic-styles>" tag - analyze the style definition, find it to be of family text of name T1 requiring bold fonts - construct a context/XML mapping along the lines of \startxmlsetups T1 \bf{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups - keep on scanning, when hitting the style invocation: use the dynamically generated mapping. Please excuse the hobbyists nomenclature. Thank you for your time and insight, Joh <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ... <office:automatic-styles> <style:style style:name="T1" style:family="text" > <style:text-properties fo:font-weight="bold" style:font-weight-asian="bold" style:font-weight-complex="bold" /> </style:style> </office:automatic-styles> <office:body> <office:text> ... <text:p text:style-name="Standard" > Dies <text:span text:style-name="T1">ist</text:span> ein Text. </text:p> </office:text> </office:body> ...

However, no, neither of the proposed solutions work. 1. Of course, I tried "\pdfimagehicolor=1" without results before posting the question.

"\setupcolors[state=start]" was also in my original file, but did not seem to make a difference, so I posted a most simplified example. What to do? I would think that there is something wrong with my configuration (debian/unstable), however pdflatex works just fine. Alan (P.S. Why would one need to specify \pdfimagehicolor in any case; From a user's point of view, shouldn't it just work transparently?)

16-bit png

Hello, I am having problems including 16-bit png files in ConTeXt. In the following example, red.png is a 800x600 image of red pixels. The resulting test.pdf shows a BLACK rectangle. (The same problem exists with real images.) However, I can produce the desired result with my installation under pdflatex... $ cat test.tex \starttext \externalfigure[red][width=\textwidth] \stoptext $ file red.png red.png: PNG image data, 800 x 600, 16-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced $ texexec test $ cat test2.tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{red} \end{document} $ pdflatex test2 My distribution (debian + texlive) uses This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) in both cases. Does this have something to do with \pdfimagehicolor? Thank you

PGF and definecolor
by Flavien Lambert 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Dear all, I am a newbie in ConTeXt. I am accustomed to use pgf in LaTeX and have seen that pgf is also a module for ConTeXt. When using some of my pgf macros in ConTeXt, I had several erros coming from the fact that colors are defined by the "same" command in both pgf and ConTeXt, namely \definecolor[mycolor][r=,g=,b=] in ConText and \definecolor{mycolor}{rgb}{,,} in pgf. It seems to me impossible to use the pgf command directly and, in the same time, impossible to use ConTeXt-defined color in pgf macros. Here is an example : \usemodule[pgf] \definecolor[mycolor][r=0.5,g=0.5,b=0.5] \starttext \pgfdeclarehorizontalshading{myshading}{1cm}{% color(0cm)=(mycolor);color(1cm)=(green)} \pgfuseshading{myshading} \stoptext There is an error with \definecolor and the shading. If you replace (mycolor) by (red) in the shading and suppress the \definecolor, it is fine. Best regards.

exploring register options
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Can someone tell me, if the following options of \setupregister are supposed to have some effect (I couldn't see any): style (pagestyle and textstyle work) command (pagecommand and textcommand work) location (Just fixed the texshow description.) I didn't check those (also undocumented): expansion maxwidth unknownreference I wonder who needs alternative b or B: the indicator (index letter) just in front of the first word without any distance is just ugly IMO and decreases readability. Other styles (alternatives) would probably make more sense, like right-aligned (flushleft) page numbers - how can I do that? Greetlings from Lake Constance!

latest beta hates most of my fonts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

the latest beta refuses to work with most of my (Greek) fonts. I have compiled the very latest trunk (rev. 1006, I think). Difficult to make a minimal example because it doesn't happen with simple "Latin" text, only when there's Greek in the file. The error message is always similar: )</Users/tas/texmf/fonts/opentype/greek/bosporos/BosporosU.otf !luaTeX error (file /Users/tas/texmf/fonts/opentype/greek/bosporos/ BosporosU.otf): Unexpected error: 85 != 92 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Does that ring a bell, or should I see if I can find a font which doesn't work in "normal" mode? The fonts are set up like this: \installfontfeature[otf][grbl] \definefontfeature [agreek] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes, grbl=yes,featurefile=greek-babel.fea] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:BosporosU] [features=agreek] etc. Thomas

Blackboard bold \Bbb and MKIV
by Otared Kavian 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi all, In my first steps in experimenting MKIV, I typeset the following minimal example \starttext Let ${\bf c} \in {\Bbb R}$. \stoptext with luatex, but the Blackboard Bold {\Bbb R} doesn't appear. The same file is fine with MKII. LuaTeX gives hundreds of warnings such as: luaTeX warning (file /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/ context/original-ams-base.map): invalid entry for `msbm10': both ps_name and font file missing (for various fonts), but I don't know what are exactly the differences between the ways of handling fonts in MKII and MKIV. For your information the above are obtained under: ConTeXt ver: 2008.02.11 10:35 MKIV fmt: 2008.2.12 int: english/ english Thanks for your attention: OK

Nonletter bug in ConTeXt ver: 2008.02.11 10:35 MKII
by Otared Kavian 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi all, I just tried to update my ConTeXt installation with the command: sudo ctxtools --updatecontext and after several lines of output I got: […] language : patterns agr for agr loaded (n=16,e=ec,m=ec) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat ! Nonletter. l.65 α2᾿ ὺ However saying r and hitting return resulted in the installation continuing ("entering nonstop mode…"). It seems that the problem comes from greek letters. Despite this it seems my context installation works fine… that is: ConTeXt ver: 2008.02.11 10:35 MKII fmt: 2008.2.12 int: english/ english So here is the question: is this just a minor bug in the most recent ConTeXt? Thanks for your attention: OK

Adding whitespace equivalent to a -ve sign
by Dave 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi all, I am trying to line up some equations on a page and I'd like to insert some whitespace that has the same width as a -ve sign in an equation. An example would be trying to ensure the cosine and sine and on the first and second rows (second column) in the matrix below: \startpmatrix % Row 1 \NC - \cos \theta_{\text{el}} \, \sin \theta_{\text{az}} \NC \cos \theta_{\text{az}} \NC \sin \theta_{\text{el}} \, \sin \theta_{\text{el}} \NR % Row 2 \NC - \cos \theta_{\text{el}} \, \cos \theta_{\text{az}} \NC - \sin \theta_{\text{az}} \NC \sin \theta_{\text{el}} \, \cos \theta_{\text{el}} \NR % Row 3 \NC - \sin \theta_{\text{el}} \NC 0 \NC \cos \theta_{\text{el}} \NR \stoppmatrix Any ideas? Thanks, Graham

index register justification
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi, just by chance I found this minimal example and (while showgrid) had a closer look at it: \defineregister[Index][Indeces] \showframe\showgrid \starttext \dorecurse{100}{ boo\Index{boo} Boo\Index{Boo} foo\Index{foo} Foo\Index{Foo} goo\Index{goo} Goo\Index{Goo} \page } \placeregister[Index][align=yes] \stoptext Why are the lines not fully justified? This looks not good, esp. when the entire book is set in justified block! Is this a default that can be changed? Steffen

\high{} in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi all (Hans!), I have a problem with the \high{} command in mkiv: in most of my typescripts, I have the onum feature set for my base fonts. When I have a number with two digits within the \high command, I get the expected oldstyle numbers; with one-digit numbers, the number is regular (not oldstyle). Since I know that this sounds completely ludicrous, I attach a small pdf example. It's set in Adobe Garamond, and the source is: A\high{1} A\high{2} A\high{12} Why is the onum feature lost for single-digit numbers? I'm completely lost here, can anyone help? Thanks, and best Thomas

project structure (bug?)
by Steffen Wolfrum 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi, does it make sense that eg \clubpenalty=10000 doesn't work when written in a project's environment file? It must be repeated at top of each single component in order to work. I am wondering what else works only when written in component (and is silently ignored although written in my environment-file) ... Steffen

beta: image inclusion from xml database broken in mkiv
by Peter Rolf 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hi Hans, can you have a look at the image inclusion from xml databases in mkiv? Compilation breaks, saying that it couldn't find the corrosponding <libname>.xml file. No problems with mkii. If you can't reproduce this with one of your figure databases, I can make a minimal example. Best wishes, Peter
