Hi guys, today I tried to use the invoice module from contextgarden http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Invoice first it spit errors about userdata.numberformat in combination with %, after commenting it out and not using it, I now get that error: ) (invoicefunctions.tex ! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:24: unexpected symbol near '%'. system > tex > error on line 112 in file invoicefunctions.tex: LuaTeX error ... 102 userdata.InvoiceTextLine(item.text) 103 end 104 end 105 printperhour = (hoursum > 0) and (amountsum == (hoursum * userdata.invoice.perhour)) 106 --userdata.invoice.hours = hoursum 107 --userdata.invoice.amount = amountsum 108 userdata.InvoiceSumLine("gesamt", printperhour) 109 context.stoptabulate() 110 end 111 112 >> \stopluacode } \luat_start_lua_code_indeed ...nd \directlua {#1}} l.112 \stopluacode anyone can help here? Thx Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz

Arabic typesetting, one more
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

Hi there, I have the following example with the font "traditional arabic", but the question is possibly independent from the font. The code: \definefont[Shehw][name:traditionalarabicnormal*arabic at 24pt] % or file:amiri-regular.ttf*... file:alq.ttf \def\Arab[#1]{\noindentation \setupalign[r2l]\Shehw#1} \starttext \Arab[ اللَّـهِ ]\blank \Arab[ اللهِ ] \stoptext (The lower one is the correct symbol, the upper one not.) If you can't compile, look at the attachment. The upper one has the typographical correct symbol under it (below left, "kassra", looks like a slanted hyphen). This kassra has a nice distant from the word "Allah". But the lower example, the correct "Allah", has a far too big distant from its kassra. Why? This does not happen e.g. in CorelDraw, where the distant is nice in both examples. Huseyin

No, I did not try this solution, and to be honest: I hope not to have, because it seems too complicated for me to implement it. I usually only work with .tex files in ConText, nothing more. But maybe, if there is no other way, I have to come back to that. Thanks for the info. Huseyin

One thing to add: In LaTex I realized this with minipages: \newcommand{\kum}[2]{ \begin{minipage}[t]{0.445\textwidth} \small #1 \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.05\textwidth} ~ \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.445\textwidth} \begin{arab}[voc] \raggedleft #2 \end{arab} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.06\textwidth} ~ \end{minipage} } This sets very well the german and the arabic text, with different interlinespaces. Is there a possibility to copy this into ConText? Huseyin

TABLE frame
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

How to adjust the TABLE-frame to zero, I mean the thickness of the frame-lines, such that they are invisible. And btw.: Where can I find a good docu of natural tables? (I know the wiki page "TABLE" of course). Huseyin

> Why don’t you use natural tables where each cell *is a frame*. Ah, ok Wolfgang. I did not get this at your first posting. I will try it! Huseyin.

Maybe the minipages/frames are really the only possibility, so that I have to resign page-breaking, sad, but if this is the only way... Because without different line-interspaces the arabic text is definitely not well readable. Now I tried it with frames; this is my try (from the wiki): \starttext \startcombination[2*1] {\framed [width=4cm, align={flushleft}] {\input ward }} {\framed [width=4cm, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] % maybe also stretch {\tfb \input ward }} \stopcombination \stoptext But it seems to not matter, if I write 2*1 or 1*2, in both cases the frames are set one below the other, and not side by side (what I want). Why? Huseyin

Different width of marginblocks and margindata
by Marco Patzer 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi, in the following example, why do marginblocks and margindata produce a different width when both are set to the same value? \setupmarginblocks [width=\rightmarginwidth] \setupmargindata [inright] [style=normal, width=\rightmarginwidth] \showframe \starttext \startmarginblock Text in paragraph. \stopmarginblock \input knuth \inright{Text in paragraph.} \input knuth \stoptext Marco
