Math typesetting problems
by Janne Junnila 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Hi all, I've run into a couple of problems with math typesetting. (I'm using the latest ConTeXt standalone beta.) The following doesn't print [x,x] at all: \startformula [x,x]_t = x \stopformula It can be fixed by using \left[x,x\right]_t, but I find the behaviour weird. Another problem I have is related to the positioning of minus signs in front of fractions. I would expect the minus sign to align with the horizontal line of the fraction, as it does on LaTeX. Below is an example formula to illustrate my point. The result seems to be independent of the font in use. \startformula -\frac{e^{\frac{4}{5}}}{4} \stopformula Janne

Using \stretched in macro fails
by Rogers, Michael K 06 Apr '13

Hi, Below \stretched works by itself, but causes a fatal error when in the macro (\Name). I get the same result with all variants. Perhaps there's a better way? MWE: %%%%%%%% \def\Name{\stretched[width=]} %\def\Name#1{\stretched[width=]{#1}} %\define[1]\Name{\stretched[width=]{#1}} \starttext \stretched[width=]{Hi there!} St. \Name{Banach} \stoptext %%%%%%%% Here's part of the log: ConTeXt ver: 2013.04.05 22:00 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.4.6 int: english/english … !

Hi all, I have a document, wherein reside chapters and sections. I have an enumeration defined which is used in the sections. What I would like to achieve is, to reset the numbering at the beginning of each section. How is this done? Kind regards Willi

math: ± and ∓ are shifted
by Xenia 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi context list, I noticed that the ∓ sign is a little higher than the ± sign, so that the + signs are at the same height. But this looks strange and should be changed. $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | current version: 2013.03.24 15:11 Thanks, Xenia

TeX Live 2013 --- until when can we work on the man pages?
by Sietse Brouwer 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hello all, I didn't get around to working on the man pages these past 2 weeks. Now, I just saw this timing plan on the TeX Live website: http://www.tug.org/texlive/ March 27: sources committed, builds begin. April 8: tlnet (and TL'12) frozen, tlpretest starts, CTAN updates continue there. May 20: complete freeze for final build, no more updates, final doc tweaks, always more testing. Does this mean any improvements to the man pages should be in on April 8; or that you want them May 20; or has the deadline already passed and are any improvements due next year? Mojca, perhaps you know this? Cheers, Sietse

Setupparagraphnumbering
by Diego Depaoli 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi all, since I got the same issue reported in that unanswered question http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/064172.html, before switch from the 0.70 version installed by default in Ubuntu to another one, is the \setupparagraphnumbering command supposed to work well now? My best regards -- Diego Depaoli

mathcases look different in mathalign and formula
by Tobias Columbus 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Hi all, While playing with \startmathcases, I discovered some strange (maybe wanted?) behaviour of \startmathcases and \stopmathcases: - The interline spacing in mathcases is different depending on whether the mathcases are used in a mathalignment or a formula environment. - Lucida OpenType math has some nice curly brace that is also used in cases environments. However, if \startmathcases, \stopmathcases is used in some mathalignment environment and the cases contain subscripts, the curly brace disappears and some "straight" brace is used instead. - When using superscripts instead of subscripts, the curly brace reappears but the cases look like not vertically centered in both formula and mathalignment environments. I produced an example demonstrating the above observations. In my opinion, the disappearing curly brace is worst of all of them since one frequently has formulas both with and without subscripts on the same page and different braces are quite easily spotted.

typescript Adobe Blank
by Philipp Gesang 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi all, recently Adobe open sourced another font [1] [2]. It’s primarily intended for use as WOFF but has some interesting properties nevertheless (like covering *every* unicode code point). Below is a typescript [3], take it with a grain of salt ;-) Best Philipp [1] announcement: http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2013/03/introducing-adobe-blank.html [2] repo: http://sourceforge.net/adobe/adobe-blank/wiki/Home/ [3] gist: https://gist.github.com/phi-gamma/5300862 Note that in spite of the font being tagged “regular”, sans is defined too.
