Rotating \copypages
by Troy Henderson 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

I have a PORTRAIT letter size PDF that I would like to include in my LANDSCAPE letter size document. I am doing \setuppapersize[letter,landscape] \starttext \copypage[foo.pdf] \stoptext but foo.pdf is being inserted "as-is" and thus is being clipped since the height of a letter size page is 8.5in and the height of foo.pdf is 11in. I would like to use \copypages to insert foo.pdf rotated 90 degrees. How can this be done? Troy Henderson

Example from FAQ not working?
by hanak＠wpb.cz 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi, I tried this example from Context FAQ but without success: \installalign {block} {\parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em} % followed by \setupalign[block] I expected no last line will be shorter than the paragraph indenting, but it didn't work. If I used the plainTeX commands directly (without trying to install and use the new alignment) everything worked as expected: \parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em Has anybody the explanation for this? My luatex version is beta-0.74.0-2012122510 (TeX Live 2013/dev)(rev 4541). Best regards Pavel

Adobe Garamond with Simplefont
by "H. Özoguz" 05 Feb '13

Hi there, I wanted to use Adobe Garamond Pro by: \usemodule [simplefonts][size=10.5pt] \setmainfont[name:Adobe Garamond Pro][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hanging] But it fails by the following error: +++++++++++++++++ fonts > bodyfont 10.5pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 12.6pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 8.4pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [simplefonts:1-10.5pt-rm-tf--0] ) structures > begin of sectionblock frontpart fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [thedefinedfont--0] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [thedefinedfont--0] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'Adobe Garamond Pro' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts > defining > unknown font Adobe Garamond Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define Adobe Garamond Pro as [simplefonts:1-10.5pt-rm-tf--4] ++++++++++++++++++ So it seems that the name is wrong? In Windows the name is "Adobe Garamond Pro", how to find the correct name for ConTeXt? And by the way: What does mean "fonts > bodyfont 10.5pt is defined (can better be done global)", what to do better? Thanks Huseyin

External figures from other folders

Hi there, for images I use: \startplacefigure [title=desciption, reference=fig:demo, number=no] \externalfigure[example][width=13cm] \stopplacefigure But how to reference to the image, if it is in another folger. Say my context mainfile is in ...\projekt and the images are in \projekt\images, then how to reference correctly directly to the images in the subfolder "images"? Thanks Huseyin

local picture not found anymore
by H. van der Meer 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Having a file picture.jpg worked fine. Now it results in inclusion of "The picture package by Heiko Oberdiek". Suddenly file searching doesn't start with the current directory anymore but somewhere in the /tex-chain. Were the significant changes here? Something to do with Luatex? I didn't follow the developments for the last few months, so I may have missed an important change. Hans van der Meer

deferred variable lookup in environment?
by Ingo Hohmann 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi, sorry if the subject is misleading, I'm not sure how to say it in few words. I'm trying to have the date in a layer in an environment. In the text using the environment, I want to be able to set the date. If the date is not set, the current date should be used, otherwise the set date. This is what I've tried, but it is always the currentdate, that is displayes. Environment file: \def\mydate{} \definelayer[firstpage] % name of the layer [x=0mm, y=0mm, % from upper left corner of paper width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] % let the layer cover the full paper \setlayer[firstpage] % name of the layer [hoffset=14cm, voffset=3.5cm] % placement (from upper left corner of the layer) {\framed[frame=on, width=4cm, height=2cm]{ % always shows \currentdate \doiftextelse{\mydate}{\mydate}{\currentdate} }} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={firstpage}] File using this environment: \environment[testenv] \def\mydate{2011-11-11} \starttext % this shows the value from mydate \doiftextelse{\mydate}{\mydate}{\currentdate} \stoptext Is it possible to get \mydate in the layer? Kind regards, Ingo

Alternative width of figures in different documents (problem with modes?)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hello ConTeXist. I would like use modes alternative to change of image dimensions in different documents (presentation or print version). Compilation in ConTeXt TeXLive 2012 version will compile without error, but without visual effect. Compilation with the standalone version fails. What is problem or eventually. how to solve my problem another way. Thanks Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: \enablemode[presentation] \def\alternativewidth#1#2{ \doifmodeelse{presentation} {width=#1} {width=#2} } \useexternalfigure[COW][cow.pdf][height=5cm, \alternativewidth{3cm}{5cm}] \starttext \input tufte \placefigure[here,force][cowref]{Caption}{\externalfigure[COW]} \input tufte \stoptext

Inclusion of title module in ConTeXt
by Marco Patzer 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hi Wolfgang et al. what do you think about uploading your title module to the modules repository? Or maybe it can even make it's way into the core. It's just a few lines, nonetheless it's very versatile and handy. Marco

Indentation in TOC
by Devendra Ghate 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello, I am trying to indent my section/subsection etc. progressively. I am using *numbercommand* and added *hspace* before the numbers. But the section title is not moved to the right along with the section number and overlaps with it. I tried adding *loffset=2cm* (since all the options of *\framed* are valid for *setuplist*) also, but doesn't seem to have any effect. Please point out the mistake. Regards, Devendra *MWE* \definehspace[myem][2em] \def\secnum#1{\hspace[myem]#1} \setuplist [section] [numbercommand={\secnum}] \starttext \completecontent[alternative=c] \chapter{A} \section{B} \stoptext
