python embedded in ConTeXt
by Xan 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Hi, I just want to know if there is a equal thing like python.sty [1], sympytex [2] or sagetex [3] for embed python, sympy and sage into ConTeXt documents as there exist for latex. Yeah, I know I could write a script and run python externally to ConTeXt but this were easier to use. Thanks in advance, Xan.

problem with --arrange option (current 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV and actual beta)
by Pierre Bovet 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Hi, I would print a booklet with trap of 3mm. With the current version 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV – luatex 0.70, all's right. But with the current version 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV – luatex 0.72 and the actuel beta – luatex 0.74, the header logo is cut into the cut marks (w/o trap). You can see my minimal in attachment. PS: excuse me for my approximate language, I don't speak english… Pierre Bovet

makeupwidth in columns
by Meer, H. van der 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

The contextrefmanual tells me in table 3.2 the following on the behaviour of the variables denoting the width of texts: [cid:D468CE47-C987-414C-84B0-47652AC59361@fritz.box] But the claim that \textwidth gives the width of a column is false. See the following minimal example, the first picture is set with 0.45\makeupwidth, the second with 0.9\textwidth. It is clear that \textwidth does not follow the claim. Hans van der Meer ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.27 21:24 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.28 int: english/english \setupcolumns[rule=on,n=2] \starttext \startcolumns \input tufte \placefigure{Test picture}{\externalfigure[test.jpg][width=0.45\makeupwidth]} \placefigure{Test picture}{\externalfigure[test.jpg][width=0.9\textwidth]} \input tufte \stopcolumns \stoptext [cid:EB7A4C53-E754-481F-AB87-D6DE646347FD@fritz.box] Hans van der Meer

Hi, I wonder how to make complex ruby like it is shown in the comments of the ruby module. Maybe I don't see the the obvious - can anyone help me with that? I need ruby text above and under a word in mkiv. H.

startchapter?
by Meer, H. van der 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Previously I could use \chapter[reference-to-this-chapter]{title} Now the preferred way seems to be \startchapter[title=the-title], but how do I program now the reference to this chapter? The Wiki does not contains a page for \startchapter and the section on command only gives info and examples on the \chapter macro. Hans van der Meer

setcalligraphicfont with simplefonts
by reviczky＠caesar.elte.hu 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Hi, I thought I could use zapfino as a calligraphicfont as it is indeed a calligraphic typeface. The following example (modified from bitbucket.org/wolfs/simplefonts/src/tip/files/simplefonts-34.tex) however gives me an error: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setcalligraphicfont[zapfinoextraltpro] \starttext \cg\input knuth \stoptext --- fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'calligraphicfont:2' --- Adam

footnotes what happened?
by Meer, H. van der 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

What has happened to \setupfootnotes? \setupfootnotes defines [textcolor=] although in the wiki just below this the example has [color=] instead. But neither of these do color the footnote text. As the reset of the footnote numbering by chapter with way=bychapter doesn't work either, though advertised in the wiki, I really fear there is something amiss here. I am the one who is mistaken or are some reparations needed? Hans van der Meer
