hyphenate urls in a non hyphenated text
by Stéphanie Vilayphiou 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hello, I'm making a flushleft document with no hyphenation. However, URLs are then not hyphenated either and end up in the margin. \hyphenateurl{} works only when setupalign[] is set to hyphenated. Is there a way to hyphenate only URLs? Thanks, Stéphanie -- ---- Stéphanie Vilayphiou <stdin> http://stdin.fr/ +32 (0)4 89 00 88 59

Repeat second-level registers within index
by Thangalin 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi, How do you prevent ConTeXt from hiding (collapsing?) duplicate level 2 index items? For example: \startitem 5 array \index{hedgehog+SECTION A}hedgehog \stopitem \startitem 7 army \index{herring+SECTION A}herring \stopitem \startitem 100 bloat \index{hippopotamuses+SECTION A}hippopotamuses \stopitem The text "SECTION A" will only appear once in the index, right after hedgehog. I would like it to appear once per index term, always. Such as: *H* hedgehog SECTION A 2 herring SECTION A 2 hippopotamuses SECTION A 2 For more details, see: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/134952/force-second-level-index-to-b… Kindest regards.

Conditional float references
by Marco Patzer 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hi, a couple of times the question came up¹²³ how to create more intelligent referencing. There are already mechanisms in the core, namely \somewhere and \atpage but they both have drawbacks. \somewhere happily prints its text if the figure is placed on the same double page. In fact, no text at all should be printed if the figure is visible. Furthermore it's a little verbose to use unless hidden in a custom macro. \atpage on the other hand doesn't hesitate to print “see figure 1.2 at page 42” while you're on page 42. I'm aware that automatic generation of reference text is problematic since the text depends on the placement of floats which in turn depends on the text which might result in oscillation. I'm not sure how likely this is to occur in practice. I don't know if there's interest in integrating such functionality into the core. I attached some code, a new macro \smartref, which takes the same arguments as \in. \smartref{figure}[fig:somefigure] - it prints the reference if it is on the same page (e.g. Figure 1.2) - it prints the reference and a customizable text if the reference is on the next/previous page (e.g. Figure 1.2 on the previous page) - it prints the reference and the page if the reference is further away than one page (e.g. Figure 1.2 on page 42) - it adapts to single-sided and double-sided layouts Marco ¹ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/65295 ² http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/59455 ³ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/76001

Mathdesign GD with simplefonts
by Magnus J 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hello list, Long term (silent) on-and-off user with two issues that require some support: 1. How can I use the Mathdesign GD math font in ConTeXt? I use simplefonts to load Adobe Garamond Pro, but mathdesigngd (name as reported by mtxrun fonts script) is somehow not found. At this time I fallback to ugly solutions with \text in math mode. And yes, I know about type-imp-mathdesign.mkiv, but obviously I'm not qualified enough to get it right. Minimal (not) working example: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Adobe Garamond Pro] \setmathfont[mathdesigngd] \starttext I want \m{x^2+y^2=z^2} in my text, and $\alpha\beta\gamma$ too. \stoptext 2. I would like to use the \followtokens macro from within metapost. How can this be achieved? Specifically, I trying to draw a rainbow-like figure with text "between" the colors. Regards, Magnus

layers in empty pages
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Oct '13

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definelayer[MyLayer][state=continue] \setlayer[MyLayer]{This is my layer.} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={MyLayer}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I need the text to be double-sided, but is there no way that the layer doesn’t show up when the text area is empty? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

wrong positioning of MP graphic in layer
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definelayer[wrongpositioned][x=0mm, y=0mm, hoffset=0mm, voffset=48mm, state=start] \setuplayer[wrongpositioned]{\startMPcode draw (0mm,0mm)--(8mm,0mm)--(8mm,38mm)--(14mm,38mm) ; \stopMPcode} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={wrongpositioned}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext No matter what x, y, hoffset, voffset, location or corner, the MP graphic is located where the page margins start. Sorry for the so basic question, but what is wrong there? Besides that, I don’t understand how positioning in layers work. I have read the wiki, but I don’t get it (geometry isn’t my strength). x, y, hoffset and voffset are fine. But location and corner are mysterious to me. Changing them gave me no clue of what they are. The four mentioned options set a point in the paper. The corner could be the point of the graphic or text that would be set in the previously defined point in the paper. Well, if this isn’t wrong, what can location be? Sorry, I know it‘s my lack of geometrical knowledge. Could anyone be so kind to explain me what location and corner mean in layers? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Question related to the placement of figures
by Flavien Lambert 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Dear all, I would like to wrap text around two figures. I tried to use both placefigure and starthangaround without achieving what I wanted. So I moved towards you to get some explanations on the behavior of the commands. I have two figures and one paragraph. If possible, I would like to place one figure on the top left and the other on the bottom right, the text moving smoothly in between, something like (o is figure, x text) ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo or even better xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I can, of course, slice the text in two pieces and use either placefigure or hangaround but, then, there's a vertical space between the two paragraphs. Related to the subject, is there way to impose a few lines before a figure with hangaround like the second layout example? Thanks a lot, Flavien.
