using two columns on a poster (\setlayerframed)
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello, this is probably the most trivial question, but I'm still confused: how can I use two columns inside \setlayerframed? \startbuffer[abstract] \startcolumns[two] % doesn't help \input tufte \input tufte \stopcolumns \stopbuffer \definelayer[paper][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=paper] \setlayerframed[paper] [preset=lefttop,hoffset=.05\paperwidth,voffset=5cm] [width=0.9\paperwidth,align=normal,offset=5mm] {\getbuffer[abstract]} I would be grateful for any hints, Mojca

Serious problems with kerning in setlayerframed
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello, I have some serious issues with kerning in MKIV, so I'll probably have to end up with MKII after all. I wonder what is going on in the following example where framed completely distorts the kerning. \setuppagenumbering [location=] \definepapersize [poster] [width=36cm,height=55cm] \starttext \setupbackgrounds[page][background=paper] \definelayer[paper] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \startbuffer[title] \definedfont[Bold at 38pt] Kerning Screw Up \stopbuffer \setlayerframed[paper] [preset=lefttop,hoffset=.05\paperwidth,voffset=1cm] [width=0.9\paperwidth,align=middle,offset=4mm] {\getbuffer[title]} \definedfont[Bold at 38pt] No Kerning Screw Up \stoptext Mojca

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the quick and helpful reply.

Some odd behaviour I noticed in MkIV with respect to enumerations
by Shane Peelar 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hello everyone, I was going through a tutorial to learn how to set up theorem-like environments in ConTeXt: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf and I noticed a few strange behaviours. I recognize that this tutorial was written for MkII ConTeXt, but after consulting the documentation in the latest ConTeXt manual and the wiki, I have determined that these features should still work. I'm looking at the "list" functionality of enumerations and descriptions. In MkII, you can do the following: \defineenumeration[blah][ ... list=listname, listtext={Text goes here}] and every time the enumeration is used, it'll be placed in the list you specify. The tutorial referenced above uses this to place a list of theorems with proper naming and numbering, as well as lemmas and other math things. In MkIV, I noticed that this functionality doesn't work, or at least not in the same way. I was not able to do: \placelist[enumeration:listname] for example. I was able to do \placelist[blah], however. After scouring this mailing list and consulting the source code, I haven't been able to find anything that would give me this functionality in MkIV. Was this intentional, or is there another way to get this functionality back? The other strangeness I noticed was the "separator" option in defineenumeration. Normally one could do: \defineenumeration[blah2][ ... separator=--] and things would work as they should, however this doesn't seem to work in MkIV. The last piece of functionality I noticed was not being able to set the number style in defineenumeration (which again works in MkII, tested this morning), like so: \defineenumeration[blah3][ numberstyle=bold] The wiki shows that these options should all be there, and they appear to be at least referenced in the source code, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to really give a good judgment of that. I noticed in one file "strc-des.mkiv" it says in a comment "lists and titles are experimental". Could anyone please help me out with these features? Thanks, Shane Peelar

TABLE: header with a thick bottom line

Hello, how to achieve the table header to have a thick bottom line? Here are my two attempts: ---- \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR[bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm]\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE Or even better: \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=broad] \setupTABLE[header][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2mm,align=middle] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH a\eTH\bTH b\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 1\eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 3\eTD\bTD 4\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext ---- As you can see, in both cases all header cells are surrounded by a thick border; but only the bottom border should be.

Suppressing Page Numbers
by Malte Stien 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi, Thank you again for all the great help, I have received here in recent weeks; it is much appreciated. I have page numbering setup in my layout.tex environment file, which I use for all of our documents. % Show the page number in the middle of the footer \setuppagenumbering[ alternative=singlesided, location={header, margin}, style=bold, ] For a particular document, though, I don't want page numbers. Is there a way of locally suppressing the page numbers while still importing (via environment) the layout.tex file? I guess, what I am asking is, is there a way to "override" the setuppagenumbering setup locally? A workaround would be to have a second layout.tex file, just for this document, but I much prefer not to. Regards, Malte.

[test suite] Bibtex-related test fails to compile.
by Marco Pessotto 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

I've imported most of the testfiles kindly provided by Hans. Now the test suite has grown to ~900 files. I'm running them in chunks and I'll keep reporting, even if I don't need the feature. If you prefer me to post to another list, please let me know. https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite/tree/master/src/m… collapse-001.tex fails to compile. See below the log. progressive-005.tex picks a different LM font, but probably because I don't have the required fonts installed and it's using a different one as fallback (I don't know which one is supposed to be the good one, probably noone :-). The other differences are just due to different distances, so I'm promoting them to references.

The one typeset with mkii has the correct output, while the one with mkiv is not correct (the spacing of the bounds of the integrals and the spacing between the integrals when they are invoked with \iint or \iiint are incorrect). (I tried this with ConTeXt version 2012-10-22, 11:01). > The « reference » output should be the file « math-integral-mkii-2012-10-22.pdf » Keep in mind that mkiv and mkii will never produce the same results (e.g.: more granularity in font metrics in mkiv, less juggling with combined shapes in mkiv, etc). SO, it can never be the pixel wise reference. The issue with italic correction is complex. First of all italic corrections are a tex thing while in otf advanced kerning mechanism is used. This means that the engine has to deal with traditional as well ad new mechanisms. In the process of developing luatex and mkiv, we went through several phases, one is that the italic correction had to be added to the width (a handicap is that luatex has to make some guesses, and the mkiv vf is a wide font on the one hand but still a traditional one). Anyhow, already quite a while ago, mkiv got two mechanisms to deal with italic correction, one for text and one for math (otf text fonts have no italic correction). Both mechanism can be configured to adapt themselves to the situation. For math we have 4 variants. \setupmathematics[italics=1] % fontitalics \setupmathematics[italics=2] % fontdata \setupmathematics[italics=3] % quad based \setupmathematics[italics=4] % combination of 1 and 3 \setupmathematics[italics=none] Depending on available italic info or the lack of it, correction is applied. Of course this can be improved. Once they are complete, we can make the new gyre math fonts default and some of the problems will go away. The virtuals will then be kept as an example of defining virtual fonts. Concerning the issue: i removed adding the italic correction to the width (something that was needed in a previous version of luatex).

Hello, there is a color "red:3" noticed at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Colors. However, the following code doesn't work with color "red:3" specification: ---- \starttext \showcolor[rgb] \color[red]{AAA} \color[red:3]{AAA} \stoptext ---- So, how it the matter with using "red:3" correctly?

Re: [NTG-context] making horizontal space in luacode.

Dear Aditya, Hans Both solutions work well. It is really efficient to write matrix in ConTeXt + lua. I am enjoying the benefit of lua in ConTeXt. Thank you.
