Layer for all pages and for specific pages
by "H. Özoguz" 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi, I use a vertical line (realized as a layer) for a bilingual project. My question is: 1. How can I set this line on all pages? 2. How can I control, on which pages it is set, and on which not? I tried it with state=start/stop/repeat, but that did not work. Here my try: \definelayer[mybg] [x=0mm, y=0mm, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayer[mybg] [hoffset=10cm, voffset=4cm] {\blackrule[width=1pt, height=\vsize, depth=0.5ex]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=mybg] \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \starttext \input knuth \page \input knuth \stoptext Thanks for help.

Any ideas, where this bug comes from? Seems weird, that it affects only one sinlg lettercombination, in other programms this do not occur. Thanks. Huseyin

[***SPAM***] heading in margin -> strange extra vertical spaces
by Zenlima 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi, I want to display the lowest heading in the outer margin. But as soon the simple text becomes a heading, a strange extra line appears on top of the margin. In my minimum example below the first paragraph shows how it should look like in the pdf-file; the second paragraph is with a heading in the margin. Can anyone tell me, a) how to get rid of the unwanted extra vertical space? b) Why is the line-break in the margin of the second paragraph different than above? Thanks, H. ------8<--------------------------------------- \definesection[section-8] \definehead[myheader][][number=no,before=,style=\bf,aligntitle=yes,section=section-8] \starttext \inouter{Hasselt makes headlines} \input tufte \inouter{\myheader{Hasselt makes headlines}} \input tufte \stoptext

Alternative rendering of some TOC levels
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hello, how to change the way ("alternative") how a particular level - e.g. sections - are rendered in TOC? I tried: ---- \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=c] \setuplist [section] [alternative=b] %\setupcombinedlist % [content] % [section] % [alternative=b] \starttext \placecontent \chapter{Ch} \section{Sec} \subsection{SSec} \input knuth \stoptext ---- This should change the "alternative" for section to be "b" (i.e. page numbers without filling dots), whilst the default look should be "alternative" "c" (i.e. dots and page numbers). But my code doesn't produce the desired result - all TOC members are using "alternative" "c". What is the true way to achieve it? TIA. Best regads, Lukas -- Ing.

Blank page when using natural table.
by john Culleton 04 May '13

04 May '13

this is an annoyance rather than a deal breaker, but why does this file generate a blank page numbered one and then the table? --------------------------------- \setuppapersize[letter] \setuplayout{margin=0.5in,topspace=0.5in} \starttext \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] \bTABLE \setupTABLE[frame=on] \bTR \bTD foo \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ---------------------------------------------- I tried it with [doublesided=yes] and no parameter at all. Same results. First a blank page numbered 1, then the table on the second page. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

fontloader: “can't convert <float> into tounicode”
by Philipp Gesang 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi, loading this font: https://collab.itc.virginia.edu/access/content/group/26a34146-33a6-48ce-001… causes the fontloader to emit a dozen or so messages of the kind fonts > loading > can't convert 7.27550912993e+22 into tounicode fonts > loading > can't convert 3.1248073774797e+32 into tounicode fonts > loading > can't convert 4.731809353839e+27 into tounicode ... example code: \starttext foo {\definedfont[file:TibMachUni-1.901b.ttf*tibetan at 33pt]༡༢་༣༤་༥༦་༧༨} bar \stoptext is this harmless? The typeset result appears to be satisfying. Best regards, Philipp

\placepublications with criterium=chapter
by Enrique Jiménez Gallego 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi, I am porting a book from mkii to mkiv and I have found an issue with the bibliography module. As Alan Braslau pointed out on 23 Mar, using \placepublications [criterium=chapter] at the end of each chapter does not show a cited reference if the reference is cited in an earlier chapter. This may be a bug. Indeed, in mkii the reference was printed. Is there any way in mkiv to "reset" the references at the end of each chapter to fix the issue? Minimal example (sample.bib in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib/): \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \setuppublications[alternative=num,criterium=chapter] \starttext \chapter{One} Some text.\cite[hh2010a] \subject{References} \placepublications[criterium=chapter] \chapter{Two} Another text.\cite[hh2010a] \subject{References} \placepublications[criterium=chapter] \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Automatic replacement?
by "H. Özoguz" 04 May '13

Thanks luigi, but it does not work for my characters, see here: \definefont[tradoa][name:trado*arabic at 20pt] % or file:amiri-regular.ttf*... file:alq.ttf \directlua{ local function replace_txt (buffer) buffer=string.gsub(buffer,"اللهِ","اللَّـه") return buffer end callback.register("process_input_buffer",replace_txt) } \starttext my text {\setupalign[r2l] \tradoa اللَّـه} \stoptext "trado" ist just the font "traditional arabic", nearly every system have it, so you should be able to compile this. It does not replace the character. Huseyin

Best Practise!?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi ConTeXt User's, I'm currently considering a new project, but wondering whether I'd choose for a MkII or MkIV basis? I've been using MkIV for some time now, but have the impression that it is less well documented than the MkII setup. Please correct me when I'm wrong here! Okay, the help of this mailing list and of course http://wiki.contextgarden.net solved most of the problems I encountered. However the mailing list dependency makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Maybe that's the way it works, because the development is very dynamic! Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Regards, Verhaag, G.C.H.M.
