heading and a few lines at the end of a page
by Jan Pohanka 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hello, sometimes I get a heading and a single line (or two lines) at the end of the page and it does not look good? Is there any way (TeX or ConTeXt) to force pagebreak before heading in this case? Ideally I'd like to be able to specify the count of lines when this should occur. best regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

gnuplot with ConTeXt standalone
by Xiao-Yong Jin 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi, I just tried out the ConTeXt standalone and found out it did not work with my gnuplot files. I have been using texlive 2011, which works fine. With the "context" command from standalone, the following error occurs, ----- Error begins ----- ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 4 in file /Users/jin/pkgs/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv: Undefined control sequence ... 1 %D \module 2 %D [ file=cont-yes, 3 %D version=2012.06.01, 4 >> %D title=\CONTEXT\ Miscellaneous Macros, 5 %D subtitle=Startup Stub, 6 %D author=Hans Hagen, 7 %D date=\currentdate, 8 %D copyright={PRAGMA ADE \& \CONTEXT\ Development Team}] 9 %C 10 %C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is 11 %C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for 12 %C details. 13 14 % At some point I will reconsider the \starttext .. \stoptext \startGNUPLOTpage ->\begingroup \obeyMPlines \dostartGNUPLOTpage l.4 \startGNUPLOTpage ----- Error ends ----- I am not really sure which line is the error. Please excuse me if I pasted too much. The version of context from the standalone is ConTeXt ver: 2012.06.05 09:16 MKIV fmt: 2012.6.5 int: english/english As I have mentioned, the same file works fine with context in texlive 2011, which has version ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2012.4.5 int: english/english It looks like only two weeks difference. I thought I should pass along this issue to experts on the list. Thanks, Xiao-Yong

Chapter layout with \structureuservariable and a makeup
by Marco 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi, I fail to use \structureuservariable to print a value on the page preceding a chapter. Example: \setuphead [chapter] [before=\setups{chap}, command=\myChap] \startsetups chap \startmakeup setups\crlf structureuservariable foo: \structureuservariable{foo} \stopmakeup \stopsetups \define[2]\myChap{% \startmakeup command\crlf structureuservariable foo: \structureuservariable{foo} \stopmakeup} \starttext \startchapter [title=First][foo=one] \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter [title=Second][foo=two] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext Problems -------- \structureuservariable does not work with the “before” key. In the first chapter the value is empty and in the second chapter it has the value from the first one. That means, it is designed to be used with the “command” key. When used with the “command” key, the values are correct. However, the following chapter text always appears on the same page, even when a makeup or a manual page break is used. Additionally you have to mess around with the two arguments of \myChap, which easily leads to inconsistent spacing (that's why I used the “before” key in the first place). \setuphead doesn't seem to support a “setups=…” key, unfortunately. What would be the solution for this? Marco

Changing math font - sansserif - sans serif

Hi mailing list, Could someone help me figuring out what is the simplest way to have all my math font without serif, in the small example below, without losing anything, such as my \tau parameter ? Thank you very much for any hint ! \enableregime[il1] \setupbodyfont[sansserif,11pt] \starttext \startformula \startalign \NC Q_{x_T}(H_0)\equiv Q(H_0)\NC=\sum_{H_1,\dots,H_{\tau^*-1}}\left(\prod_{\tau=0}^{\tau^*-1} h_{x_Tx_{T_0}}(H_\tau|H_{\tau+1})\;P_{x_{T_0}}(H_{\tau+1}|H_\tau)\right)\NR \NC\NC=\sum_{H_1,\dots,H_{\tau^*-1}}\left(\prod_{\tau=0}^{\tau^*-1} h_{x_Tx_{T_0}}(H_\tau|H_{\tau+1})\prod_{\tau=0}^{\tau^*-1}P_{x_{T_0}}(H_{\tau+1}|H_\tau)\right)\NR \NC\NC=\Epsilon_{P_{x_{T_0}}}\left[\prod_{\tau=0}^{\tau^*-1} h_{x_Tx_{T_0}}(H_\tau|H_{\tau+1})\right]\NR\stopalign \stopformula \stoptext Mathieu

Hello, is it possible to find if you’re on an odd or an even page in context? I want to do something like this: \def\makemytext#1{ %if page is even \rightaligned{#1} %else \leftaligned{#1} } Thanks for the answer. Pavel Dohnal

line break after “/” (no hyphen)
by Alan Bowen 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

I dimly recall discussion of linebreaking after “/”, but have not been able to retrieve it from the archives. Can any one point to an explanation of how to make “/” a character that will admit a following linebreak (without hyphenation) in MKII? The aim is to break “….Montreal/Ottawa”, say, into “ …..Montreal/ Ottawa…...” Alan

beta
by Hans Hagen 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi, I uploaded a beta that has a (first) update/cleanup of the context runner script. The most important changes are - no longer an option file (jobname.opt) - no longer stub files (for xml and cld) - handling of (most of the) ctx files happens elsewhere (job control) In principle all this should go unnoticed, although one might notice the difference in the call to luatex.

postponing conflicts with footnotes
by Henning Hraban Ramm 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Me again... If a footnote doesn’t fit on the same page as its anchor, it gets placed on the next page - even if that’s a postponed one. I’d like to keep my postponed pages free of interfering text. \starttext \startpostponing[3] This page incidentally left blank. \page \stoppostponing \dorecurse{10}{ Weit hinten, hinter den Wortbergen, fern der Länder Vokalien \footnote{\input tufte} und Konsonantien\footnote{\input zapf} leben die Blindtexte. Abgeschieden wohnen Sie in Buchstabhausen an der Küste des Semantik, eines großen Sprachozeans. Ein kleines Bächlein namens Duden\footnote{\input knuth} fließt durch ihren Ort\footnote{Ort} und versorgt sie mit den nötigen Regelialien. Es ist ein paradiesmatisches Land, in dem einem gebratene Satzteile in den Mund fliegen.

Als es die ersten Hügel des Kursivgebirges erklommen hatte, warf es einen letzten Blick zurück auf die Skyline\footnote{Esmane} seiner Heimatstadt Buchstabhausen, die Headline von Alphabetdorf und die Subline\footnote{sublime} seiner eigenen Straße, der Zeilengasse.
