endnotes not placed
by Meer H. van der 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

The contextgarden tells me under Command/placefootnotes Place unplaced footnotes. Has no visible effect if location=page, but can be used to place footnotes (or endnotes) made when location=text was in effect. However nothing happens for an \endnote, but it works for a \footnote. See minimal example. Minimal example: \setupfootnotes[location=text] \starttext abc\endnote{an endnote} \placefootnotes \stoptext Hans van der Meer ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.20 10:34 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.20 int: english/english

I am trying to make a rounded corner dotted frame with a formula on a gray background. I can't seem to get both the background and the dotted frame working well at the same time.

This works #2 The grey background seems to not go up to the dotted frame of the frame is too high? #3 The dotted frame does not show up at all. Here is the mkiv file: Thanks

[mtx-package] merger output ambiguous
by Philipp Gesang 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi Hans, merging produces invalid output when concatenating a numbers into a string. Example: return 42 .. "foo" which is merged into: return 42.."foo" ^ where the dot after the number leads to a “malformed number” error. (Iirc there was a thread on lua-l about this not long ago.) Regards Philipp

Hi, Including local SVG graphics works, so does including remote PNGs. Remote SVGs are not displayed, however. Example: \starttext \externalfigure[http://www.gnu.org/graphics/gnu2.svg] \stoptext Is this not supported or am I missing a required option? Marco

Number of pages by Lua of a figure to be inserted?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hello, I need to identify number of pages by Lua of an image which is to be inserted. The image can be of all various types supported by Ctx - e.g. .png, .pdf. I've been using the following code so far (based on a mailing thread in the past): ---- function nOfPages(fn) local fig = figures.push{name = fn} local info = figures.identify() figures.check() local n = fig.used.pages figures.pop() return n end ---- But the code above break Ctx in the case that the image doesn't exist. I'd need to modify the solution somehow so to return 'nil' or 'false' (or a error message) in the case the file was not found. How to do it? TIA.
