garden example at fault
by H. van der Meer 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

I tried this sample from the garden to look at the top and bottom, see Command/setuplayout. Below a copy of the garden page (pagesize changed from A10 to A6): \setuppapersize[A6] %% This is an example for showing the effect of the vertical parameters %% top, topdistance, bottom, bottomdistance and topspace. %% Just play around with these parameters. \showframe %% Show the top and the bottom with blue color: \setupbackgrounds[header, footer][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] \def\MyLength{10pt} \setuplayout[ top=\MyLength, topdistance=\MyLength, bottom=\MyLength, bottomdistance=\MyLength, topspace=\dimexpr(\topheight + \topdistance), height=fit] \starttext \input thuan \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013030308 (rev 4589) ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.04 18:28 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.4 int: english/english The top and bottom should have been blue as in the screenshot from the garden (figure to the left). The reality however is no blue sections at all (figure at right). What is wrong: the (fairly recent) context or the example in the garden? Hans van der Meer

setups within typescripts: can it be done?
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Dear gang, Here is the situation: For an upcoming book project I may use a set of proprietary fonts whose license that does not allow modification even for personal, private use. Some characters I need are absent, but the components I need are there (macrons, dots, etc). So I can conceivably use \defineactivecharacter to map each needed unicode char to a \def made of glyph components in the font. Now in a typescript we have different fonts: Each individual font needs its own setup in terms of \defineactivecharacter. So the final typeface will be able to associate each individual font with its associated setup. So here's my idea: ============== \startsetups font1 \defineactivecharacter b blah1 \stopsetups \startsetups font2 \defineactivecharacter b blah2 \stopsetups \starttypescript [serif] [name] \definefontsynonym [MyFont1][name:SuperFontRgular][features=myfeatures,fallbacks=myfallback,setups=font1] \definefontsynonym [MyFont2][name:SuperFontItalic][features=myfeatures,fallbacks=myfallback,setups=font2] \stoptypescript =============== Is this doable? If not is there another way? If doable, is there a better way? If this is totally undoable, then here is another approach: Is there a way in mkiv to make a definition that can translate the following: ========== If font1 is active use def1 If font2 is active use def2 : Else \relax ========== If not, are there any other ideas? Thanks in advance for any hints and guidance. Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

TOC: Chapters with and without page-numbers
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hello there, normally I use \setuplist[chapter][pagenumber=no] to prevent pages for chapters in the TOC, because normally (!) after every chapter-titel comes a section-title, directly, without text between the two titles. And so it is in this case enough to give the page-number for the section-titles only. But now I have an book with one single chapter, which do not have sections. So with \setuplist[chapter][pagenumber=no] it has no page-number in the TOC. I want to have the page-number for this single chapter-title only, but for the other chapter-titles (which have section-titles after them) I want still the above setting. How to do that? Thank you! Huseyin PS.: Sorry for sending this question with the wrong email-adress one minute before, it awaits moderation, but can be deleted, of course.

Reusing MP graphics
by Marco Patzer 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, I have two questions concerning MP graphics. What's going on here? The “abcdefghi” text is not displayed in the second graphic and the “A” is stretched to match the size of the first graphic. Can someone explain why this happens and if this is expected? \startreusableMPgraphic{foo} draw textext("abcdefghi"); picture p; p := currentpicture; \stopreusableMPgraphic \startreusableMPgraphic{bar} addto currentpicture also p; %% not printed draw textext("A"); %% distorted \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{foo} \reuseMPgraphic{bar} \stoptext Does \includeMPgraphic only work with useMPgraphics (in contrast to reusableMPgraphic)? %% works with useMPgraphics, though \startreusableMPgraphic{alpha} draw textext("abcdefghi"); \stopreusableMPgraphic \startreusableMPgraphic{beta} \includeMPgraphic{alpha} draw textext("A"); %% not printed \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{alpha} \reuseMPgraphic{beta} \stoptext Marco

width=local broken?
by reviczky＠caesar.elte.hu 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, I'm trying to use "width=local" in an enumartion, but the width is the same for hsize, broad and local. Example from the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Framed#Width_broad_and_local) \setuppapersize[A5] \setuppapersize[A7,landscape][A7,landscape] \setupbodyfont[8pt,ss] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupframed[framecolor=blue] \showframe \starttext \framed[width=\hsize,align=middle]{width=hsize} \startitemize \setlocalhsize \item \framed[width=\hsize,align=middle] {width=hsize} \item \framed[width=broad,align=middle] {width=broad} \item \framed[width=local,align=middle] {width=local} \stopitemize \stoptext Compare the above example with the picture from the wiki. Did something changed around "local"? Adam

Separation of delimited text symbol
by Marco Patzer 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, this issue was raised on stackexchange¹. When setting up a delimited text, a line break is allowed between the character and the following text, which is always undesired (maybe I lack imagination where this might be intended). Example: \setuplayout [width=10cm] \definedelimitedtext [quotation] %% [left={\symbol[leftquotation]}] %% works [left=“] %% separates symbol from the text \starttext När jag som liten uppgett att teckningen föreställer \quotation{Tomtarnas eld i skogen} kanske det inte alls var menat som en optisk liknelse av denna händelse. \stoptext Setting the delimiter as part of the language setting does not cause the symbol to be separated. If there's no use-case for this behaviour, can it be fixed? Marco ¹ http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/101130/5245

new beta
by Hans Hagen 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi, I uploaded a beta. The most important change is that the 'context' function now uses the formatters mechanism instead of Lua's format. This has several benefits. First of all it's in most cases faster (I measured upto 3 times) but it also permits us to support some more: integer %...i number integer %...d number unsigned %...u number utf character %...c number hexadecimal %...x number HEXADECIMAL %...X number octal %...o number string %...s string number float %...f number exponential %...e number exponential %...E number autofloat %...g number autofloat %...G number force tostring %...S any force tostring %Q any force tonumber %N number (strip leading zeros) signed number %I number rounded number %r number 0xhexadecimal %...h character number 0xHEXADECIMAL %...H character number U+hexadecimal %...u character number U+HEXADECIMAL %...U character number points %p number (scaled points) basepoints %b number (scaled points) table concat %...t table boolean (logic) %l boolean BOOLEAN %L boolean whitespace %...w More info can be found in cld-mkiv.pdf. There I also explain how to create specific formatters and how to extend them. In the default formatter there are two extensions that can be used as: string.formatters["whatever %!tex! and %!xml!"]("$ 100","a&b") or local mf = string.formatters["whatever %!tex! and %!xml!"] ... mf("$ 100","a&b") or context("whatever %!tex! and %!xml!","$ 100","a&b") (Someone should add that to the wiki I guess).

[***SPAM***] File access for sourc, graphic, and pictures
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

I am just learning ConTeXt, so please bare with me. In all of the documentation that I've read so far, it shows the names of imported photographs, graphs, blocks, etc as a simple filename without any filename extensions or pathnames. Having a bunch of photographs anc charts files in the same directory as te tex files reallys clutters things up. I'd like to store photographs, etc., to use used in a subdirectory of the project. Also might be nice to have subdirectories for the sourc e of each part of a book. How do experienced people handle organizing files for large-ish scale projects such as a book? It would be educational to learn how this is handled. Thanks

\usemodule not working in latest beta
by Mica Semrick 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Forgive me if this has been answered else where, I couldn't seem to spot it. I have my own little version of t-title.tex that worked with the beta before luatex 0.75. Upon updating to the latest beta last night, the document wouldn't compile. It looked like it wasn't reading up the \usemodule[title] at all, because it was giving me an undefined control sequence error on the first macro defined in t-title.tex (\doctitle{my title}). Help please! Regards, Mica
