publication list: bounding box problems
by Andreas Mang 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hi there, I am fine tuning my doc. I have problems with the publication list, as some of the publications extend to the margin of my document. I have not been able to find a solution. This is probably a very common issue. I assume some of you had/have the same problem. Is there a quick way to fix this? This is quite urgent (picture attached). Cheers Andreas [cid:633B7855-1447-4534-9F43-580B58659B88@uzl-wlan.uni-luebeck.de]

Paragraph indentation after float
by Marco Patzer 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi, sometimes I get a paragraph indentation after a float and sometimes I don't. Example: \ctxlua{structures.lists.autoreorder = true} \setupindenting [yes, medium] \setupfloats [default=auto] \starttext \startchapter [title=Foo] \startplacefigure \externalfigure [cow] %% [height=21cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \externalfigure [cow] [height=11cm] \stopplacefigure \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext Why does this chapter start with an indentation? I always avoid placing floats at the beginning of sections, since I can never predict what will happen. If the first float is moved to the second page (uncomment height=21cm) the indentation vanishes. Why? Is there a reliable way to place floats at the beginning of sections and ensure that the following paragraph will not be indented? Marco

Equivalent commands for \big \Big etc. in mathmode
by Devendra Ghate 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

If I want to say that dy/dx is calculated at z then in latex I can write \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_z The \Big is to scale | according to the size of the \frac. I am using newmat and amsl modules that have supported the native math mode commands till now. But context does not recognise \Big. What is the native context way of doing this? Regards, Devendra MWE (in case its needed)----------- \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[amsl] \starttext \startformula \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_z \stopformula \stoptext

Prioritise TEXMFHOME
by Marco Patzer 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi, can I somehow set up that files within TEXMFHOME are preferred to files found in the distribution? Or is there another variable which is more suitable than TEXMFHOME for this purpose? Marco

Bug in reference to sections
by Otared Kavian 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi Hans, I noticed that with the latest mkiv (version 2013.01.22 18:33 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.22) when the sections have no numbers two « ! » are printed and this behavior is new: with previous versions when invoking for instance \in{other section}[sec:other] there used to be a link to the "other section" and no « ! ! ». I understand that there has been a change in this behavior, but is there a way to suppress the two « ! ! »? Here is a minimal example: %%%% begin bug-reference.tex \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuphead[section][number=no] \starttext \section{First Section} \input knuth.tex See the \in{other section}[sec:other] below. \page \section[sec:other]{\bf Second Section} Here is another section. \input ward.tex \setuphead[section][number=yes] \section{Third Section} \input knuth.tex See the \in{other section}[sec:other-2] below. \page \section[sec:other-2]{\bf Fourth Section} Here another section. \input ward.tex \stoptext %%%% end bug-reference.tex Best regards: OK

Arabic Characters shown wrong
by "H. Özoguz" 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi there, today I have the following issue: In Arabic there is a character called "Lam-Alif", it is a composition of "Lam" and "Alif", which is displayed usually in another way, than just writing "Lam" and "Alif" after each other in the usual way. See here: ??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet For Arabic I use the font Scheherazade \definefont[Shehkl][name:Scheherazade*arabic at 15pt] \definestartstop[Arab][commands=\setups{Arabic}] \def\Arab{\doArab} \def\Arab[#1]{ \startArab \noindentation \setupalign[r2l]\Shehkl#1 \stopArab } which worked perfect, until today! Now if I write \Arab[??] it is now not shown, like it should (and like your emailer will show it probably correctly, too). For conveniance I opened another, older, document, where the arab worked, and compiled it again, with absolutely no change -> and again, the same bug. What is the problem, what changed in ConText relevant to this problem, if any? Thank you :) Huseyin

Simple question, guys (and gals), how do I get the filename (full path not needed) in the footer of my document? I want it there while writing the book and remove it in the final stages.
