Emoticons ;-)
by Matthias Weber 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Dear all, I hope this doesn't get me banned from the ConTeXt list. What is the easiest/best way to add emoticons in ConTeXt as letters/symbols? In LaTeX, there is a package wasysym that gives \smiley and \frownie. It appears to be based at least partially on MetaFont code by Taco from 1998? I am aware that one can use images as characters as well, but I am looking for a cleaner solution. Incidentally (and irrelevant for my current purposes), my dream/nightmare would be to have animated emoticons in a PDF file. Is that at all possible? Thanks, Matthias

Alignment problem with labels and textext
by Lutz Haseloff 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi Hans, hi all, with the most recent ConTeXt (This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013021110 (rev 4576) ConTeXt ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV fmt: 2013.2.11 int: english/english) there is an alignment problem with labels using textext. Labels without textext work ok. Small example showing the problem: --------------------------------- \starttext \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt (textext("right") , point 0 of p) ; label.top (textext("top") , point 2 of p) ; label.lft (textext("left") , point 4 of p) ; label.bot (textext("bottom") , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt ("right" , point 0 of p) ; label.top ("top" , point 2 of p) ; label.lft ("left" , point 4 of p) ; label.bot ("bottom" , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext --------------------------------- Greetings Lutz

Big double quotes
by Devendra Ghate 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hello, I am trying to reproduce as closely as possible the large double quotes in the attached file. Though the actual glyph of the double quotes is not important for me (I have gone through the glyphs for CM without any success!), I would like to keep the double quotes large to attract attention to the quote. So I have essentially two problems: 1. Get a close enough glyph. I tried standard double quotes and also tried to use ′′ (U+02033) with context name *m: doubleprime*. But it doesn't produce anything. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. 2. Whatever may be the glyph, make is large. I have tried *\quotation* environment but it enlarges the text as well. I didn't see any option for enlarging *only* the quotation marks in *typo-del.mkiv*. So I tried to enlarge them myself. However, this leaves a large interlinespace before the last sentence. I would be grateful for any suggestions though outright solutions won't go remiss. Devendra *MWE* \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [style={\tfc}] \definefont [quotesStyle] [Serif at 20pt] \starttext %\getnamedglyphdirect{modern}{m: doubleprime} %\getnamedglyphdirect{modern}{second} {\quotesStyle \symbol[leftquotation]}This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.This would be interesting.{\quotesStyle \symbol[rightquotation]} \blank \startquotation This is would be interesting. \stopquotation \stoptext

Repeating Headers for Tabulate not Working
by Malte Stien 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hello, I just looked up how to enable repeated headers in \starttabulate… \stoptabulate tables. It's explained here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate#Headers …but I am unable to make the minimal example work: \starttext \placetable[split,here][tab:ref]{Sometable} {\starttabulate[|w(.30\textwidth)p|w(.70\textwidth)p|] \HL \NC {\bf Animal} \NC {\bf Comment} \NC\FR \HL \dorecurse{50} {\NC Cat \NC Pretty cool \NC\MR} \NC Bear \NC Kind of lazy \NC\MR \NC Sheep \NC Always hungry \NC\MR \HL \stoptabulate} \stoptext Does that work for anyone else? What am I missing. Thank you, Malte.

Re: [NTG-context] Split \starttabulates
by Malte Stien 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hello, This is a bit old now, but I would like to come back to it. First of all, Marco, thank you for your response. I did try it and it does work. However, I seem to be loosing other things like adjusting the table width; things that \placetable provides. \placetable also has the advantage that I don't have to wrap it around my tables, it just appears at the beginning, not the end. A couple of points: - I tried to find some documentation about \startplacetable… \stopplacetable to see how I could enforce the width and generally to see what options there were. I could not find any, not even in the source code. How is this pair defined? - I also tried to find out the overall problem with \placetable. According to this page here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Floating_Objects the split option should work, but for TABLEs only. So, I think this does not work for me because I am using TABULATE, right? The split function in \setuptabulate works as well, but only if the table is not inserted using \placetable, that is as a float. So, \placetable knows how to split a TABLE but not a TABULATE although \starttabulate… \stoptabulate knows how to split itself. Is that right? But if it is not inserted as a float, I do not get a caption and I cannot refer to my table later on, right? There seem to be different ways of doing this, all of which miss out on some fine detail I need them to do. So, after all that rumbling, I guess, I am asking... …is there another way of: - placing a TABULATE table such that it has a caption that I can refer to; - split the TABULATE table across multiple pages; - and control the width of the TABULATE table. Thank you, Malte.

Typesetting LibreOffice (ODT) documents with ConTeXt
by Bill Meahan 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

I scoured the wiki and mailing-list without finding a definite answer. The most recent discussion I can find is from 2006 and at that time it was "possible" but nobody had yet developed the appropriate template, XSLT style-sheet, module or whatever to actually do it. For a number of reasons (including an absolute necessity to produce MS compatible .doc files) I need to maintain and write documents using LibreOffice Writer (or OO.org Writer) but the quality of the PDF files is, shall we say, not satisfactory. Exporting to LaTeX 2e is possible (and standard equipment in LO-W) but after using both for a while now, I vastly prefer ConTeXt. I could probably use something like the TEI tools to transform the ODT file to XHTML or TEI p5 and process that but I've found over many years such intermediate transformations have a lot of problems of their own. I don't need math support for /my/ work but I am sure others who do need it would like to follow the same route to great PDFs. Any solutions? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

\startplacefigure breaking paragraph flow
by Marcin Borkowski 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hi all, when I issue a \startplacefigure, it breaks the flow of the paragraph. Normally, it is not a problem (I can use 2*hang anyway), but I have a one-paragraph enumeration (made by \defineenumeration), and if I give the figure at its beginning, the "label" is on a line by its own; the problem is, I want the enumeration typeset by a block, and that's why I don't want to give the figure *before* the block. Here's a MWE: \defineenumeration[question][ text={\llap{$\blacktriangleright$~}Question}, right={.}, before={\blank[small]}, after={}, distance=0.5em, alternative=serried, width=fit, ] \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \keepblocks[question] \hideblocks[answer] \setupblock[question][before=\startquestion,after=\stopquestion] \setupblock[answer][before=\startanswer,after=\stopanswer] \def\noanswer{\incrementnumber[answer]} \starttext \beginquestion This looks good. \input knuth \endquestion \beginquestion \startplacefigure[location={none,right,2*hang}] \framed{\tfd My figure} \stopplacefigure This looks bad. \input knuth \endquestion \stoptext Any suggestions? -- Marcin Borkowski room B3-46, phone no +48 61 829 5375 http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

mkiv in endless loop
by geert dobbels 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hello, I have been using context rather extensively until 2008 and then moved to another job where I did not use anything tex related. After those nearly 5 years, I decided to pick up context again. I wanted to try mkiv because the possibility of using openfonts looked interesting, so I made a tex file based on one that worked years ago, changed the font definitions to the texgyre fonts and gave it a try. The font defs seem to be ok (at least there are no error msges related to fonts) but after context gets through my tex file, it enters an endless loop which I have to interrupt. I checked the file over and over and cannot find any error. I tested a short "hello world" tex file, and that one worked fine. any clues on what could be going on here ? This is the log file after running context (shortened because it is a long one): (/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV fmt: 2013.2.8 int: dutch/dutch system > cont-new.mkiv geladen (/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv ) system > files > jobname: R79_OVA, input: R79_OVA, result: R79_OVA fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > taal nl is actief (R79_OVA.tex{/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' {/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map} fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt wordt geladen % begin of command line arguments % % kindofrun = 1 % fulljobname = ./R79_OVA.tex % no-parse-first-line = true % input = ./R79_OVA.tex % currentrun = 1 % % end of command line arguments % begin of command line files % % 1 ./R79_OVA.tex % % end of command line files (../homolo.tex) floatblocks > volgorde verstoord floatblocks > 1 geplaatst backend > xmp > using file '/home/geert/homologation/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' <Fotos/star.jpg> pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1 Overfull \hbox (11.99997pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 23--27 [][][] \hbox(10.88643+19.35356)x483.69684, direction TLT .\whatsit ..\localinterlinepenalty=0 ..\localbrokenpenalty=0 ..\localleftbox=null ..\localrightbox=null .\hbox(0.0+0.0)x0.0, direction TLT .\hbox(10.88643+19.35356)x495.69681, direction TLT ..\hbox(10.88643+4.23357)x56.9055, direction TLT ...\vbox(0.0+15.12)x56.9055, shifted -10.88643, direction TLT [] ..\glue 11.99997 ..\hbox(10.88643+19.35356)x426.79134, direction TLT ...\vbox(0.0+30.23999)x426.79134, shifted -10.88643, direction TLT [] .\penalty 10000 .\glue(\parfillskip) 0.0 plus 1.0fil .etc. SHORTENED Overfull \hbox (40.59882pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 79--81 [][][] \3>corpo-10pt-rm-tf-0-a-0 In over-een-stem-ming met EG Richt-lijn 76/114*78/507 \hbox(10.88643+4.23357)x213.39566, glue set -

fontloader.open() fails on Heiti from acroread fonts
by Philipp Gesang 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hi all, I’m not sure this is a Luatex or Context bug so please feel free to forward this to the appropriate ML if necessary. With the latest standalone (Luatex beta-0.74.0-2012122510, Context 2013.02.05 22:32) the font db builder fails at Adobe Heiti as distributed with acroread: [14:33:17=>phg@phlegethon=> ~/tmp/ctx/fontdb] mtxrun --script fonts --reload <... /> fonts | names | adding path from OSFONTDIR: /home/phg/.fonts fonts | names | globbing path /usr/share/fonts/**.otftexlua: ../../../source/texk/kpathsea/cnf.c:255: kpathsea_cnf_get: Assertion `kpse->program_name' failed. Aborted (core dumped) (Full log attached.) All fonts, even Adobe stuff, up until Heiti are processed without complaint. I traced the issue to a call to fontloader.open() in font-syn.lua, line 221. To reproduce it, run this code through texlua: #!/usr/bin/env texlua ff = fontloader.open[[/usr/share/fonts/adobe/AdobeHebrew_Regular.otf]] --> works print(ff) --> userdata ff = fontloader.open[[/usr/share/fonts/adobe/AdobeHeitiStd_Regular.otf]] --> fails print(ff) The problem disappears if I initialize kpathsea first: kpse.set_program_name"texlua" ... The problem does not occur with TeX Live 2012/Luatex 0.70/Context 2012.05.30 11:26. Can anyone else reproduce this? Thanks. Philipp
