[***SPAM***] \inright[][location=hanging]{} does not do what is expected.
by Bill Meahan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Maybe I'm reading the documentation (such as it is) wrong but I would expect specifying [location=hanging] to drop the margin text down alongside what follows instead of raising up to be even with what has preceded it. Minimal example: \starttext \input montgomery \inright[][align=right,location=hanging]{Shoulder Text} \input knuth \stoptext The "Shoulder Text" is aligned upward from the end of ward so it is alongside the ward quote. I would have expected it to be aligned downward alongside the knuth quote. Am I missing something? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

\dorecurse and \startcombination
by Alan BRASLAU 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hello, Does anyone have a suggestion how to use \dorecurse within combinations? (without having to use lua...) Alan minimal example: \starttext \startcombination [2] \dorecurse{2}{{#1}{#1}} \stopcombination \stoptext ! Missing { inserted. system > tex > error on line 3 in file foo.tex: Missing { inserted ... 1 \starttext 2 \startcombination [2] 3 >> \dorecurse{2}{{#1}{#1}} 4 \stopcombination 5 \stoptext 6 <to be read again> \global \syst_helpers_recurse_x #1#2->\global \advance \outerrecurse \plusone \globa... l.3 \dorecurse{2}{{#1}{#1}} ?

Is it possible to arrange pages so that they fall alternating on two sides of the sheet?
by Marcin Borkowski 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi all, I have something like this: \definepapersize[thin][width=210mm,height=74.25mm] \setuppapersize[thin][A4] \setuppaper[nx=1,ny=4] \setuplayout[topspace=1.5cm,backspace=1.5cm, header=0mm,footer=0mm, width=middle,height=middle] \setuparranging[XY] I'd like to have pages 1, 3, 5, 7 on one side of the A4 sheet, and 2, 4, 6, 8 on the other one. In other words, there should be two (A4-sized) pages in the pdf. (My use case is a short quiz for my wife's students - she wants to save paper;).) Bonus points for making pages 5-8 *identical* to pages 1-4, so that: on pages 1-2 (top of the A4 sheet, both sides) there is one problem set; on pages 3-4 (just below the previous one) there is another; on pages 5-6 (yet below) the first problem set is repeated; on pages 7-8 (bottom) the second one gets repeated again. TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Two columns in a frame
by Mari Voipio 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi All, I'm doing something where the example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#.28Simple.29Columns_in_a_narrow_frame would be quiet useful. Except that if I copy-paste the example in my ConTeXt, I get two columns typeset almost on top of each other, with non-existent column distance (a lot less than on the graphic in the wiki). Attached is what I get out of my ConTeXt, version 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV BTW, the columns page doesn't seem to contain information on how to force a column break, at least not under that name.... I'm attaching a short version of the file where I'd need it. Being clueless again, thankful for any help, Mari

TeX files in fonts/ directory
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hi, I am using ConTeXt standalone. Normally I unzip or git clone the fonts that I regularly use in $HOME/texmf/fonts/opentype/data directory, since I assume that all the extra files in there will simply be ignored by TeX. However, I recently noticed that MkIV finds a test.tex file from inside the fonts/ directory. In particular: $ luatools test.tex /home/adityam/texmf/fonts/opentype/data/euler-otf/tests/test.tex Should luatools only search for tex files inside $TEXMF/tex directories? Aditya

System variable HOME
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hello, it seems that Ctx [re]defines the system variable HOME on its run; compare: - command line: " C:\Lukas\Jobs\HubI-ISK.DSP\SO_210\Statics.Tx>set home Home=C:\Lukas HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\LPR " - and result of: ---- t-Home.mkiv \starttext \directlua{context(os.getenv("Home"))} \stoptext ---- -> C:/Documents and Settings/LPR Is it possible to avoid this substitution anyhow? - I'd need to keep (or access) the original value (= "C:\Lukas"). TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Hi all, I did not find the \startplacefigure equivalent of: \placefigure [high,low] % <- here are the options I need {test} {\externalfigure[pic-test]} I checked in the sources but found nothing about these 'high', 'low' options. Anybody has an idea? Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>
