Symbolsets
by Willi Egger 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hi all, Also with the todays beta I am unable to get Martin Vogel symbols. If \showsymbols[martinvogel 2] is used a long list of symbols is typeset, but not what is defined as this symbolset. Calling \setupsymbolset[atronomic] \symbol[zodiac] does result in the text zodiac in the document. Hints would be appreciated, kr Willi

Footnotes
by Willi Egger 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hi all, I try to make-up an old book... Due to the fact that it is a scientific text there are footnotes: about 70 I have them all in buffers. However when saying \footnote{\getbuffer[1]} I get an ugly new line in the footnote at the bottom of the page. - How to prevent this unnecessary hard-return? Secondly there is a problem with the numbering when the footnote is called from a tabulate-environment. In place of starting with 1 it starts with 2. The most strange thing is, that in case of two footnotes in tabulate the numbering even starts with 3. I need to refer to the reference of footnotes. So if the first footnote is \footnote[1]{\getbuffer[1]} I say \note[1] where it is needed. However I get the double questionmark for a missing reference. I would be happy to finalize this book, but ... Willi

mathml
by Meer, H. van der 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

I ventured a first try of mathml in my code, but clearly I am doing something wrong. One of the examples in the XML-publication is: <math> <apply><root/> <cn>3</cn> <apply><times/> <apply><plus/><ci>a</ci><ci>b</ci></apply> <apply><minus/><ci>c</ci><ci>d</ci></apply> </apply> </apply> </math> It doesn't result in a neat formula, but there only appears: "3 ab cd". Is there a module I have to include? or what else? Hans van der Meer

\placefigure padding
by Kip Warner 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hey list, The following minimal typesets a dummy figure. Note how there is about two lines of empty space below the figure. How do I control the amount of padding that surrounds the figure, such as the bottom? \setupexternalfigures [frame=off, corner=rectangular, rulethickness=0.5pt] \starttext \placefigure [right, 2*hang] [figure:SomeFigure] {Caption} {\externalfigure[SomeFigure.pdf][][width=.2\textwidth]} This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text. This is a bunch of text.

\definedescription wrapping
by Kip Warner 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hey list, I'd like the description title to not wrap part way through its title. I'm using the following definition: \definedescription[definition] [location=top, alternative=top, headcolor=colour_head, headstyle=boldslanted] But if I use it with something like... \startdefinition[definition:Corporate Personhood]{Corporate Personhood} ... \stopdefinition It ends up typesetting: Corporate Per- sonhood -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Wrong alignment of combination objects in current beta
by Marco 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

The alignment of the elements in a combination is wrong with the current beta. All elements are left aligned, in beta 2011.11.29 they were centred. Example: \useMPlibrary [dum] \starttext \startcombination [2*2] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=1cm]}{alpha} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]}{beta} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm]}{gamma} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]}{delta} \stopcombination \stoptext Marco

Strange error message
by Otared Kavian 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hi all, Has anyone encountered the following situation with the betas from last January until today? I have a document some 100 pages (each page being an \input), which is correctly typeset with ConTeXt version 2011.11.29 mkiv, but gives me the following error with the recent mkiv betas: the message is <to be read again> } <inserted text> ...onstructionparameter \c!level } \setevalue {\??constructio... \define_construction ... \everydefineconstruction \let \currentconstruction ... <inserted text> ...r =\v!description ,\c!level =1] \else \defineconstruction ... \define_description ...he \everydefinedescription \let \currentdescription \... <to be read again> \startpacked … In order to localize the error I have tried to add little by little my \input files, and everything works when I have about 20 pages… I am reporting this issue just for debugging reasons, since for the real project I still use the 2011.11.29 version. Indeed I should apologize since I am not able to submit a minimal example, my project itself being somewhat complex (at least from my perspective… not for a guru!). Also, I should say that in recent previous betas the error message was different, but I have not anymore those versions to report what the exact message was. Thanks for any insight: OK
