bug in multiple layouts?
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Oct '13

19 Oct '13

Dear list, I have a sample with multiple layouts: \showframe \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=] \setuplayout[margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm, height=fit] \definelayout[shorter][backspace=80mm, cutspace=20mm, topspace=110mm, bottomspace=30mm] \setuplayout[shorter] \setuplayout[reset] \definelayout[1][shorter] \definelayout[2-last][reset] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext I found two issues: the first lines on the second page have the margin from previous page, and from the third page text doesn’t reach the page bottom. Am I missing something or have I found a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Conditional Column Breaks
by Thangalin 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hi, How would you create a conditional column break that is only applied if inserting the break does not result in a page break? For example, in the following code the "if" statements exemplify the desired behaviour: \setuphead[chapter][ before={\startcolumns[n=2, balance=no,]}, after={\stopcolumns}, ] % If the section is the last section in the chapter % *and* the section is not in the last column *and* % inserting a column break does not cause pagination... \setuphead[section][ before={% \if_last_section{% \if_not_last_column{% \if_fits_in_last_column_without_pagination{\columnbreak} } } }, ] \starttext \startchapter \startsection[title=Section1] \input knuth \stopsection \startsection[title=Section2] \input zapf \stopsection \startsection[title=Section3] \input knuth \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext Many kind regards.

Simplefonts
by Wolfgang Schuster 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hi all, I’m happy to announce a new version of the simplefonts code. Thew new version of the code is a complete rewrite and brings many changes. 1. The module is now part of the core and no external module is needed anymore. 2. The commands to select a font have changed to commands which fit better to context normal syntax. 3. I removed the keys to enable font expansion and protrusion, when you need them use \definefontfeature. To use a font with the simplefonts code two ways are available. The first method is to create one or more typefaces and load it with \setupbodyfont. A complete example for this is: \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [DejaVu Sans] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mono] [DejaVu Sans Mono] [feature=none] \definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startlines \rm DejaVu Serif \ss DejaVu Sans \tt DejaVu Sans Mono \m{c^2 = a^2 + b^2} \stoplines \stoptext The second method is similar to the old commands of the simplefonts module (e.g. \setmainfont) where the font is enabled after it was set and no \setupbodyfont is necessary. Below is a example for this method but I recommend to avoid this method because it’s slow when you set font a font for each style in your document. \setupfontfamily [serif] [DejaVu Serif] \setupfontfamily [sans] [DejaVu Sans] \setupfontfamily [mono] [DejaVu Sans Mono] [feature=none] \setupfontfamily [math] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \starttext \startlines \rm DejaVu Serif \ss DejaVu Sans \tt DejaVu Sans Mono \m{c^2 = a^2 + b^2} \stoplines \stoptext Another feature of simplefonts is the ability to set a fallback font when you need certain glyphs from a different font (e.g. for cyrillic ) which aren’t available in the mainfont of the document. To set such a fallback font the code provides the \definefallbackfamily command where you can set in the fourth argument the range for the replacement characters. \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [range=cyrillic,force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \input knuth Традиционная систематика лишайников оказывается во многом условна и \stoptext Wolfgang

Dear list, I have the following sample provided by Hans (and tweaked by myself): \setuptabulate[offset=overlay] \definelayer[MyLayer][state=start] \setlayerframed[MyLayer][align=normal,offset=overlay] {\setuptabulate[before=,after=] \starttabulate[|l|l|] \NC one \NC tab \NC \NR \NC one \NC tab \NC \NR \stoptabulate} \definelayer[OtherLayer][x=20mm,state=start] \setlayerframed[OtherLayer][align=normal,offset=overlay]{one tab\par one tab} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={MyLayer,OtherLayer}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext How can I suppress the extra vertical offset added by tabulate?

How to add a new unit for \unit{} command?
by Romain Diss 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hi all, I want to add new units to the \unit{} command but I can't find how to do it. I found that one can changes existing units with the following luacode: languages.data.labels.units.whatever = {Meter = "retem"} but I found nothing to add new ones. I would like to have, for exemple: \unit{50 milli volt per division} to give: 50 mV/div. Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

structure level limitation for \fullheadnumber
by Zenlima 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Hallo, I added a level (without numbering) to the existing sections; that works fine. But I also need the ability to "limit" the \fullheadnumber function, so that I get a correct numbering. How can I "limit" \fullheadnumber to level 1-7, so that I get the needed "1.1" in the second call in the following example? Thanks, H. ---8<--------------------- \definesection[section-8] \definehead[paragraphHead][][alternative=paragraphHead,number=no,section=section-8] \starttext \chapter{bla} \section{bla} I need: 1.1 - I get: \fullheadnumber \paragraphHead{bla} I need: 1.1 - I get: \fullheadnumber \section{bla} I need 1.2 - I get: \fullheadnumber \stoptext

by tucky.kong＠gmail.com 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Hello, I wanted to refere to a footnote in a text inside a background, but if I get a number in my text, there where no footnote. I then tried a framed text, but same result. \starttext \startbackground textwithbackground \footnote{footnote} \stopbackground other text without background \stoptext Result in: textwithbackgroud¹ other text without background ¹footnote While I only get: textwithbackgroud¹ other text without background Is it a bug, or framed text are a special case I should know a special behaviour? Thank you
