But your correction does not work, too. With your code the font AGaramondPro is not used, and no hanging either (even not with the then used Standard-Font). If I remove [features=default] then again Garamond is used, but still without hanging. It seems very tricky to define these things correctly, at least for me... :) Thanks. Huseyin

math: size of sqrt to small for fractions

Hi list, I noticed that the sign for the square root does not adapt to the size of a fraction as in the attached minimal example. Thanks, Xenia

single spacing TOC
by john Culleton 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Working with TOC layout and the "new" manual. The default layout leaves a blank line between section entries. I want to reduce this to zero. I tried this: \setuplist[section] [alternative=a,before=,after=,distance=1pt] \completecontent but this didn't remove the extra space.

Hanging and Protrusion with Typescript
by "H. Özoguz" 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi there, normally I use simplefont, with protrusion and typescript. But Simplefont does not recognize the regular, italic, and bold of AdobeGaramondPro correctly by default. So I tried to work with a typescript definition, and it works - with the exception of hanging (and protrusion?). This is my example: +++++++++++++++++++++++ \enableregime[utf] \starttypescript [serif] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:AGaramondPro-Regular.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:AGaramondPro-Bold.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-Italic.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,12pt] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++ The Font is correctly used by ConText, but no hanging is applied. How to achieve that? Thanks. Huseyin

Unnumbered chapters (title), numbered appendices
by Alan BRASLAU 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hello, I am having difficulties with the use of unnumbered chapters (\title) as well as the use of appendices. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles#Unnumbered_titles_in_table_of_contents gives a few recipes for the use of unnumbered titles and their inclusion in the table of contents. Unfortunately, they do not work! \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead [intro] [number=no] will increment the chapter number, as does \setuphead [title] [incrementnumber=yes,number=no] trying "coupling=no" gives missing number errors (in the toc). Furthermore, placing chapters into \frontmatter and \backmatter might not always be a solution. In a document structured in *parts*, one might want to have an introduction (and other "front matter") as well as conclusions (and other "back matter"). One needs a means of switching section blocks, for example, without resetting everything. Maybe this can become an option in \startfrontmatter [reset=no] \startappendices [reset=no] \startbackmatter [reset=no] for example, or else: \setupsectionblock [appendix] [resetnumber=no] % number=yes|no Another route could be through the use of the *mysterious* structureresetset \definestructureresetset [default] [0,0] [1] % do not reset parts and chapters \setuphead [part,chapter] [sectionresetset=default] coupled somehow to the section blocks.

graphics: figure combination and single figure side by side
by Xenia 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi context list, I want to place three figures in a row, but two of them as part of a combination with a common caption. I tried this with columns, but did not manage it, because I only read how to span 2 columns with single figures. How can this be done properly? Thanks, Xenia

prezi presentations
by Thomas A. Schmitz 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi all, this is a very far shot, but just maybe... I have been looking at prezi (http://prezi.com/) There's lots of aspects there that don't appeal to me, but I find the general idea very nice: a presentation is sort of a big poster, with some background graphics. You define areas on this poster into which your content goes (so these would be the "slides" in a conventional presentation). When you show your presentation, your viewer will zoom in on these areas and present them full screen, and it will move along a predefined path, thus showing the areas (slides) in a certain order. The nice thing is that you can, at any moment, zoom out and show the entire poster, thus giving an overview of your presentation in which only the bigger elements (headlines etc.) will be readable. Now I was wondering if the same couldn't be done with ConTeXt, pdf and javascript: producing a big pdf with a background image would be fairly easy (metapost's vector graphics would look good at any zoom level). Placing slides with content there could be done via layers. Zooming in and showing certain areas is doable (but obviously would depend on the pdf viewer, especially for the full screen mode). I have no idea if we have support for rotating areas in a pdf viewer. Would javascript be capable of automating this, i.e. defining areas in a pdf, displaying them at a certain zoom level, and move from one area to the next? I think this would be a nice alternative to traditional slide shows. Thomas

White Space after \startalign
by Devendra Ghate 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Dear all, I have noticed a new problem in the \startalign environment recently. \startalign adds whitespace after the formula. If I remove the *\NR* from the last equation then the white space disappears. But I need to keep it for numbering the last equation. In any case, I thought that the last *\NR* is required in the *math align* environment. I remember getting errors for not including the last \NR when I was just starting out with ConTeXt. May be something has changed or my memory is not quite what I thought it was. Please let me know if I am making a silly mistake. Thank you for your time in advance. *MWE* \starttext¬ Some text before the equation.¬ \placeformula¬ \startformula \startalign¬ \NC a \NC= b\NR¬ \NC c \NC= d\NR[eq:trivial]¬ \stopalign \stopformula¬ Some text after the equation.¬ \stoptext¬ Regards, Devendra Ghate
