Including a large SVG image
by Sander Maijers 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hi, I have a few SVG graphics of multiple megabytes. They contain a lot of objects (text/shapes). All graphics except for one gets properly included in my ConTeXt document. In place of the failed one there the gray placeholder box with 'status unknown'. I noticed that ConTeXt uses Inkscape to convert these SVGs to PDF. Is there a way in which I can increase the timeout for this conversion process? That is just a guess, maybe the problem is due to something else. Best, Sander

character spacing for guillemets in English
by Alan Bowen 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Is there a global way to insert a very thin (ca 1pt) unbreakable space before a right guillemet and after a left guillemet when the main language and character spacing are English, so that “«” and “»” in my source file are processed properly? The font that I am using puts them too close to the enclosed characters (typically, Greek). Basically, I need to borrow the French spacing for these two characters but have not been able to figure out how to do this from the ConTeXt source files. Alan

How to place page numbers in the margin, at the bottom of the "text" area?
by Marcin Borkowski 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Hi everybody, I'd like to position page numbers in the margin, at the bottom, but *not* in the footer; instead, I want them to be aligned so that their baseline coincides with the baseline of the last line on the page. Is it possible, and if yes, how? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski room B3-46, phone no +48 61 829 5375 http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Two questions about registers
by Marcin Borkowski 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

Hi list, I have two questions regarding registers. 1. How to change the title of the register (placed by \completeregister) and its numbering style? (Assume that e.g. I want it to be an unnumbered section and not a numbered chapter.) 2. I'd like my register not to have the headers with subsequent letters of the alphabet. I did [indicator=no] in \setupregister, but still got the *vertical spacing* between gropus of entries beginning with the same letter. Then, I did also [before={}], but then the space between entry groups is actually *smaller* than the usual interline space (confirmed by doing \showgrid). What should I do to prevent this from happening? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

MAC (preview, finder) and ConTeXt pdf
by Alan BRASLAU 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hello, A colleague who uses a very recent MacBook with the latest MacOS has a problem with PDF files that I provide produced with ConTeXt/luatex. It appears that he cannot search for words (text) in the document, neither with preview nor in the finder (they must be based on the same code). However, I had him install Adobe Reader, and using this he can search for text in the ConTeXt produced document, so I do not believe that the PDF has a problem, rather this is a bug with the Apple PDF tools. Does anyone else using MacOS have any experience with this? Or can you all search for text (words) within ConTeXt produced PDF documents using preview and the finder? Thank you Alan

Enclosing the year in round brackets in online citation.
by Thomas Friedrich 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hello, A question to the \cite command. Following, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography I defined \def\onlinecite{\cite[left=,right=]} so that I can cite bib-entries online in the text. However, I need to enclose the year of a citation in round-brackets. At the moment, I get: Jon Doe, 2013, has shown that... But I need: Jon Doe (2013) has shown that..., as this is required. I couldn't find any reference what I can do with \cite and what possibilities there are. Any idea? Thank you for your help. Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] Font problems

Thanks Khaled, very sad, it is very nice. You can find it here in action: http://quranflash.com/quranflash.html (But not as typed font, only pictures I think). Ok, doesn't matter, if impossible, then impossible. Next question: With the font file "maddina.ttf" I have the same problems. But this font is clearly not broken, you can download it here: http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/quran-madina.htm (or see attachment of this mail). But is the problem here? Huseyin

Font problems
by "H. Özoguz" 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hi there, I cant run the font "ramnaclq-webfont.ttf" (see attachment) in Context. After the command "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" and "mtxrun --script font --list --all ramna" I get: > ramnaclassiqueregular ramnaclassique c:/windows/fonts/ramnaclq-webfont.ttf So the font is installed, correct? But it can not be used in Context, test this: \definefont[amiri][file:ramnaclq-webfont.ttf*arabic at 17 pt] \define[1]\Arab{\setupalign[r2l]\amiri#1} \starttext \Arab{ نَسْتَعِينُ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ } \stoptext Then the text in the pdf is not there. What is the problem here? Thanks! Huseyin

by seasoul 30 May '13

Dear All, For presenting codes, verbatim environment is suitable. But different with documents, it is better to present the code in one slide when making presentation.Is it possible to make a scroll window like in many websites? Thanks.
