Using the continue=no option of setuphead (in MKIV) didn't seem to work (not sure why). What I did as a workaround was to a blank paragraph after each heading (using 'after' in setuphead) and then packed the result. Not necessarily an ideal solution, but adequate for what I needed. \definehead[references][subsection] \setuphead[references][after={ ~ }] \startpacked % Get rid of large gaps between the references. \dorecurse{10}{\references{Reference item}} \stoppacked -Lance Am 01.05.2013 um 18:03 schrieb Lance Larsen <lance.c.larsen at gmail.com>: > It looks like the 'after' property of \setuphead can be used to override the > 'keep with next' behavior of the headings. No, you need the continue key to disable this feature. \setuphead[section][continue=no] Wolfgang

parameters in startuseMPgraphic
by Meer, H. van der 01 May '13

01 May '13

I used to pass (color) parameters to \startuseMPgraphic with: \startuseMPgraphic{square}{acolor} draw unitsquare withcolor \MPvar{acolor}; % or \MPcolor{acolor} In both cases I get the following error: metapost > initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun' metapost > loading 'metafun' as '/Users/hansm/TeX/context-09/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/metafun.mpiv' using method 'default' metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled' check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'green' in line '7 (442>square:)' Has something changed in this mechanism of parameter use, or am I doing something wrong?

It looks like the 'after' property of \setuphead can be used to override the 'keep with next' behavior of the headings.

Can someone tell me why \showfont[arial] does embed arial characters in the pdf, but \setupbodyfont[arial] has lmodern only? Hans van der Meer

square in Cambria font
by Sietse Brouwer 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hello Hans, The bad news: I think it's the font. The good news: here comes MetaPost to the rescue! I don't have Cambria, so I plucked a cambria.ttf file off the Internet somewhere, which contains both Cambria and Cambria Math. I don't know whether you have the same file/version, so YMMV, but it does exhibit the problem you describe. According to the lovely and free FontForge, * the WHITE SQUARE glyph (U+25A1) is 1060 units high * the SQUARED PLUS glyph (U+229E) is 1630 units high (of which 230 below the baseline). This is in Cambria Math — Cambria does does not have either of these glyphs. I suspect the square size is a design decision: that the designers decided they wanted the white square to match the letters rather than the 'squared *' operators. Anyway, here's a very close MetaPost approximation of the 'squared plus' square, made by looking in with FontForge and copying the glyph dimensions. (And then tweaking them because some things still didn't look right; didn't manage to fix everything, alas.) It scales with the font size. Cheers, Sietse \setuppapersize[A7][A7] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \setupbodyfont[cambria,40pt] \showframe \showgrid \startuseMPgraphic{square} numeric u, strokewd, strokeht, sqwd, sqht; u := BodyFontSize / 2083; strokewd := 128u; strokeht := 123u; sqwd := 1506u; sqht := 1533u; offset := 200u; pickup pensquare xscaled strokewd yscaled strokeht; draw unitsquare xscaled sqwd yscaled sqht; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture leftenlarged offset rightenlarged offset; \stopuseMPgraphic \def\mysquare{% \lower \dimexpr \bodyfontsize / 2083 * 234 \relax\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}% } %%%% try it out %%%% \starttext $\square+\mysquare\boxplus$ \crlf $\mysquare\boxplus$ \page[yes] $+ \ruledhbox{\boxplus}$ \crlf $+ \ruledhbox{\mysquare}$ \crlf $\ruledhbox{\boxplus}$ \crlf $\ruledhbox{\mysquare}$ \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Formatting enumerations in MKIV

Thankyou Wolfgang. This was what I was missing.

Heading flow
by lance.c.larsen＠gmail.com 01 May '13

01 May '13

I have a word template I am trying to convert to context. In the word template, section headings are used to manage bibliography numbering (i.e. each reference is included as a subsection). This translates fine to context except for one thing. Context headings seem to have a ‘keep with next’ type property such that if there is a long list of headings with no other paragraphs between, the headings go off the bottom of the page. I expect that I can change this by defining a custom heading via \setuphead, but how to I override the ‘keep with next’ behavior so that ? -Lance Larsen

Re: [NTG-context] Header not repeating for tabulate

I tested this on the online context tool, and the tabulate repeats header in MKii, but doesn’t in MKiv. Have the settings changed in MKiv, or is the functionality not there yet? -Lance Larsen Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:08:44 -0700 From: "Lance Larsen" <lance.c.larsen(a)gmail.com> To: <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Subject: [NTG-context] Header not repeating for tabulate Message-ID: <518032de.6dd2440a.6573.04f0(a)mx.google.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I created a table using tabulate. I want the header to repeat, and used the following code. The table splits correctly, but the header doesn't repeat.
