Typescript not found
by S Barmeier 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

I have some typescript problems. The output says fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'mytypescript' fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'Myface' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (third stage) In my environment file I have \usetypescriptfile[mytypescript] \usetypescript[MyIPAex] \setupbodyfont[Myface,rm,12pt] and the typescript file is in the same folder as the source files. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Severin

Using comma character inside chemical
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hello all, Is there a way to use comma character or semicolon character inside the chemical formula? Comma character is used as a delimiter of individual items in the formula. When is there command for example \lettertilde, is there something like "\lettercomma (\charcomma)", "\lettersemicolon (\charcomma)" and others nonalphanumerics characters (which would be used inside chemical or mathematical environment)? Emergency, we can solve as follows: \unexpanded\def\charcomma{,} \chemical{0\charcomma5\cdot, etc.} Is there is a more elegant solution? Thanx Jaroslav

Re: [NTG-context] Strange errors on using setupheader
by Malte Stien 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi Wolfgang, Thank you so much for that. It did work. And yes, I was wondering whether there was a more elegant way of doing this. This way of setting and using variables does not seem to be all that well documented; it's not in the ConTeXt Manual, presumably because it is new, right? I think I mostly worked it out, though, except for: What does this line mean: set=\texsetup{titlepage} Thank you again, Malte.

columnar footnotes
by Pablo Rodríguez 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

I'm trying to get a particular footnote series in columns. The body and other footnotes and line notes have no columns. Consulting the wiki, I thought this is the right code for it: \setupcolumns[n=2] \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][before=\stopcolumns, after=\startcolumns] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{a\footnote{b}\dict{c}} \stoptext But I get an error and the document doesn't compile. I don't know what is wrong here (although I realize that my mistake may be basic). Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Strange errors on using setupheader
by Malte Stien 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hi again, After I had some issues with \externalfigure, Hans suggested to me that I use a newer version of ConTeXt. So, rather than using the latest current (which seems to be from May 2011) ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.6 int: english/english I am not using the latest beta ConTeXt ver: 2012.03.29 11:28 MKIV fmt: 2012.3.29 int: english/english However, as it turns out, the document I am working on is no longer processed without errors. I butchered my document to isolate the error and come up with a (close to) minimal example: % Use UTF encoding \enableregime[utf] % Set English as the language \language[en] % Select A4 as the paper size \setuppapersize[A4] % Setup the header... \setupheadertexts[chapter][section] \setupheader[leftwidth=.5\hsize, rightwidth=.4\hsize] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \chapter{Purpose and Scope} \section[]{Purpose} This document should be read in conjunction with bla bla bla... \stopfrontmatter \stoptext I get the following error when processing with the aforementioned version: <argument> doifelsemarking("\ascii ") \ctxcommand #1->\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1 } \page_layouts_process_element_single_limited ...i {\limitatetext {\getmarkin... \page_layouts_process_element_single_indeed ...#4} \fi \endgroup \page_layouts_process_element_single ...#1#2#3{#4} \fi <argument> ...\layoutelementparameter \c!lefttext \hss }\hskip -\makeupwidth... ... l.18 \chapter{Purpose and Scope} Strangely enough, all works well when I remove (or comment) the \setupheader line. Is there anything strange I am doing here? Should work, right? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you, Malte.

stretched hyphenated url
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Mar '12

Hi, I, personally, like the solution for hyphenated url (by stretching). Only a author of mine feels that it was too much (see attached, first line). Is there a way to adjust the degree of stretching? Steffen -------

Page numbering in latest beta
by Steffen Fritzsche 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Hi, nice surprise, with the latest beta my document just grew 15 pages ;) On a closer look, it turned out that the numbering of my body part is not reset to 1, instead it continues with the next number after my frontpart. Here is how I did set this up long time ago: \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[appendix] \setupheader [before={\ss\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}] \setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, partnumber=no, location=, style={\ss\bold}] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \stopsectionblockenvironment Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance! Steffen

Seeking the incompatibility of versions of ConTeXts
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hello all, I am seeking the incompatibility of ConTeXt minimals standalone and ConTeXt MKIV, which is part of TeXLive the 2011. While TeXLive 2011 ConTEXt MKIV translates example bottom easily then standalone MKIV gives an error. An example is taken from wiki.contextgarden. Just for the record: I am using with success this solution with few luascrips for a simple bibliography (sorting etc.), but only in ConTEXt MKIV TeXLive 2011. I want use it in mimimals standalone too. Thanx. Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my example: \definereferenceformat[cite][left={[},right={]}] \defineitemgroup [bibliography] [levels=1] \setupitemgroup [bibliography][each][s,packed] \setupitemgroup [bibliography] [symbol=n, left={[}, right={]}, width=3em, stopper=, itemalign=flushleft] \appendtoks\let\bibitem\itemgroupitem\to\itemgroupcommands \def\Cite[#1]{\cite[bibl:#1]} \starttext \section{Links to the bibiopgraphy} Sample calls citations in the text. The numbers in square brackets are references to bibliography. Here is the first link \Cite[3] and here next cite \Cite[4], \Cite[1], \Cite[5]. \section{Bibliography} \startbibliography \bibitem[bibl:1] First publication \bibitem[bibl:2] Second publication \bibitem[bibl:3] Third publ. \bibitem[bibl:4] Fourth publ. \bibitem[bibl:5] Fifth publ. \stopbibliography \stoptext

linenote bug with number=no in latest beta?
by Pablo Rodríguez 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi there, I can suppress numbers in footnotes, but not in linenotes, as the following sample shows with latest beta: \setupnotation[footnote][location=columns,number=no] \definelinenote[dict] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{a\footnote{b}\dict{c}} \stoptext I guess it might be a bug.
