Thank you

I’d like to thank you wizards and workers for fixing the bugs that bothered me with my current book project just in time! (I’ll never update any more ;---) It’s sometimes a bit difficult to get a version of ConTeXt that supports all needed features at the same time... Can we do anything WRT quality assurance?

Citations in a frontmatter fail when placed in a component
by Marco 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hi, When a \cite command is placed in a frontmatter or bodymatter it prints [[error 2]] as citation and no bibliography is created. This only occurs when the \cite command is called from another component. \cite calls from within the same file work, even inside a frontmatter. Example: % file product.tex \startproduct product \startpublication[k=me, t=manual, a=Hoekwater, y=2006, s=TH2006, n=1, u=http://contextgarden.net/Bibliography] \author{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater} \title{\CONTEXT\ Publication Module, The user documententation} \pubyear{2006} \note{In case you didn’t know: it’s the document you are reading now} \pages{14} \stoppublication % comment out the frontmatter and it works \startfrontmatter \component component % this one works % \cite[me] \stopfrontmatter \placepublications [criterium=text] \stopproduct % file component.tex \startcomponent component cite: \cite[me] \stopcomponent Marco

updated binaries, please keep testing TL 2012
by Mojca Miklavec 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hello, the majority of binaries in ConTeXt distribution have been updated from TeX Live 2012 now (missing are only linux-64, linux-ppc by Thomas S., and possibly some from windows). (Builders might want to be careful a bit, I'm afraid that simply running the script would downgrade luatex because I increased the version in binaries, while sources are still at 0.70.1, so please don't try to build anything, except for Thomas who might want to test building the TL ;) Mac OS X Tiger is not supported any more. If there are any objections, you can help me figure out why building fails, else we are done with 10.4 forever. (We got 8 visitors of 10.4 on website [minimals.contextgarden.net] since January this year. I have no way to check if any tiger user actually uses the minimals or not. We still have an impressive number of PowerPC users.) In the morning you should also see an update of ConTeXt in TeX Live 2012, matching the latest beta from yesterday. Please post feedback or any issues that you might experience. Mojca

TABLE with split=repeat and headings
by Andreas Schneider 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hello, I have several natural tables with the split=repeat option set. Those tables are directly after a subsubsubject. Every now and then it happens, that the heading stays on the previous page (as last line) and the table slips to the next page. Without split=repeat it correctly takes the header to the next page too. Can I consider this a bug or am I doing something wrong? The attached example demonstrates this problem. Testet with ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.02 21:59 MKIV fmt: 2012.1.24 int: english/english and 201200310 13:15 MKIV -- Best Regards, Andreas

References to itemize items
by Rogers, Michael K 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hi, Under the beta version (ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.14 16:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.5.16), item numbers in references (with \in[..]) are not converted automatically in the way they used to be done under last year's "current" ConTeXt. I have macros that do something like below that no longer work. The level two items are converted to letters, but references to them appear as unconverted numbers. Is there a way to convert them? \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][n] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][a] \starttext \startitemize %level 1 \item One \startitemize %level 2 \item AA \item[BB] BB \stopitemize\stopitemize In BB = \in[BB] (used to print b, not 2).... \stoptext Thanks, Michael ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

FontForge does not support your encoding (utf8) (was: ... please keep testing TL 2012)

Let's wait until tomorrow and see then. But the best of all is the following line: FontForge does not support your encoding (utf8), it will pretend the local encoding is latin1 I realized that it might not even be the first time for me to see that message: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/058800.html but it is totally puzzling. Now I realized that if I replace LC_ALL=sl_SI.UTF-8 with LC_ALL=sl_SI.utf8 in my environment I get that message as well (but I have no clue whether it influences anything). Mojca

Where is the documentation of the letter module
by Florian Wobbe 24 May '12

24 May '12

Wolfgang: I have an old letter that typesets fine with beta 2011.11.29 23:11 but that fails with anything newer than that. I get lots of "Undefined control sequence" and \textwidth seems to expand to something without a unit: "Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted)". Anyway, I guess there are big changes so I'd like to go through the documentation again. However, [1] seems to be gone now and the pdf in [2] is absent too. Cheers, Florian [1] texmf-context/tex/context/third/letter/base/t-correspondence.tex [2] http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-letter/doc/context/third/letter/

Align caption text separately from figure label
by John Dyreby 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hello, I spent a few hours googling and trying random things but am not able to get figure captions looking the way I want them. Basically, I'd like long captions to be left aligned as a framed chunk of text, similar to this post here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/8739/multiline-figure-caption-center… Or if this formatting works... How it currently looks: Figure 1 This is a caption that extends to multiple lines. What I'm trying to get: Figure 1 This is also a caption that extends to multiple lines. I was able to produce what I wanted with an aligned \framed command, but the width of the caption and the width of the framed box had to be set for each figure, which is less than ideal. I'm hoping that there is a way to adjust the amount of indent for the text of the caption so that I can 'push' all the lines after the first one to line up with it? Thanks much, John

MkII in standalone distribution broken?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 May '12

24 May '12

Just a short notice, can’t debug ATM: Since yesterday evening, ConTeXt doesn’t seem to be able to build MkII formats (via the first-setup script on OSX 10.5.8 Intel), it claims, cont-nl.mkii, cont-en.mkii, metafun would be missing. As far as I saw, MkIV builds. Greetlings, Hraban
