stack marginals: text and figures
by Andy Thomas 21 May '12

21 May '12

Dear ConTeXt group, I am trying to stack text and figures in the margin. After getting some help, I am able to setup the text just fine, the notes do not overlap. I am also able to stack figures, they also do not overlap. But figures and text does not 'know of each other'. They do overlap. I made a small example to show the behavior: % setup the page format \definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm,height=240mm] % use the new page format \setuppapersize[wissenschaft] % shape the page \setuplayout[topspace=40pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, backspace=42pt, leftmargin=0pt, width=280pt, height=560pt, rightmargindistance=20pt, rightmargin=100pt, footer=0pt] %\showframe \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definemargindata [margintext] [ location=outer, width=100pt, align=flushouter, stack=continue, % or yes ] \starttext This is a sentence.\margintext{This is a note in the margin.} Another sentence.\margintext{Another note.} \placefigure[margin][fig:one]{This is a small figure.}{\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]} \placefigure[margin][fig:two]{This is another small figure.}{\externalfigure[test][width=100pt]} \stoptext I also tried to do things such as \margintext{\placefigure...}}, but had no success. Is there a way to achieve a 'stacking' of all marginals? Andy

Missing math font breaks compilation
by Wolfgang Schuster 21 May '12

21 May '12

Hi, typefaces with a missing font for math produce an error when it’s applied after \starttext which is common when the project structure is used where environment files are loaded after \startproduct or \startcomponent. Minimal example: \starttext \definetypeface[test][rm][serif][pagella] [default] %\definetypeface[test][mm][math] [palatino][default] \setupbodyfont[test] \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang

about \hangaround, defineenumeration
by dalyoung 20 May '12

20 May '12

Dear all, I defined enumerations "Theorem", "Proof", and "Example" as in the sample code. It works fine, but I'd like to arrange it in better shape. 1. Theorem 1 and it's proof look good. 2. The proof of Theorem 2 i) when I use \startitemize it starts from the next line not immediately after "Proof". Q: How to start the sentence right after "Proof"? ii) after \stopitemize, it changes the line and put blacksquare at the end. So, there is a blank line always. Q: How to place blacksquare at the end of the last line of the sentence? iii) leading symbol of itemize, "b" is inside the figure. Q: How to correct this or is it possible to place the figure at the right side? 3. I'd like to put "Example" and it's number in a frame, but I couldn't. Is there a way of doing that? Should I make a new command to do that? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

full page images on fixed pages
by Henning Hraban Ramm 19 May '12

19 May '12

In my current book project, I need to set images on fixed pages (because only a few pages get printed in color), and full-page, i.e. bleeding 3mm. What’s the best way to achieve each? The only way for full-page images that I know of, is via layer/ background, but I find it difficult to activate and deactivate that at the right pages.

counter reseting at every heading
by Peter Schorsch 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hi, I realized yesterday that my counter for the module does not reset itself as before. What I need is a counter that resets after each heading (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection and so on). This is what I know about counter reseting at the moment: \definecounter[ParagraphNumber][prefix=no,way=bysection] - way=bychapter: reseting counter at every chapter (default) - way=bysection: reseting counter at every section (not at chapters) - way={bychapter,bysection,bysubsection,bysubsubsection}: does not work \setuphead[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection][after={\resetcounter[ParagraphNumber]}] does work but it messes with the distance between heading and normal text. What is the correct/best way to make the counter reseting every heading without messing around? Thanks P.

imposition 2UP = empty pages
by Henning Hraban Ramm 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hi there, like in January (see mail by Mari), the latest beta produces only empty pages with 2UP imposition schema; others work (tested 2SIDE and 2DOWN). e.g. \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=footer] \setuplayout [margin=0pt,width=fit] \setupbackgrounds [text][text][background=screen,backgroundscreen=0.7] \setupcolors [state=start] \setuplayout [location=middle,marking=on] \setuparranging [2UP] %[2*2*4,doublesided] \startbuffer[Fakepage] \strut \blank[force] \midaligned{2UP} \vfill \midaligned{This is page \recurselevel} \vfill \stopbuffer \setupheadertexts[\CONTEXT] \starttext \dorecurse{16}{\getbuffer[Fakepage]\page} \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

ConTeXt colours in TikZ
by Marco 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hi everybody, I don't get context colours working in tikz. There were several issues on the mailing list in the past and the solution always seems to be some kind of hack. But none of the hacks work (with a current context). Example: \usemodule [tikz] \definecolor [darkblue] [b=.2] \starttext \starttikzpicture % works \fill [blue] (0,0) circle(1); % fails % \fill [darkblue] (0,0) circle(1); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext I get the following error: Runaway argument? 0 0 0.2 rg 0 0 0.2 RG\pgf@stop {darkblue}\else \edef \pgf@marshal {\noexpand \ETC. ! File ended while scanning use of \pgfutil@context@parse@gray. system > tex > error on line 0 in file : File ended while scanning use of \pgfutil@conte xt@parse@gray ... <empty file> <inserted text> \par Marco

Most portable font name
by Philipp Gesang 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hi all, tl;dr: by which name to refer to a font. I was about to recommend (tomorrow; context: an introductory LaTeX course) *the* way of referring to a font by its name. As we all know, the same font (as in file) usually comes with a variety of possible denominations. “otfinfo -i” on a *file name* results in a list of *full name*, *Postscript name*, *unique id*, etc., which all might have some valid purpose. I have come across answers to assignments that made me wonder “How on earth did E get that to work on Eir system?”. There’s some background info [1] on the Fontforge pages but it doesn’t really answer my question: Which identifier is least likely to break things and at the same time most portable between both frontends (Fontspec, Simplefonts, typescripts) and platforms (Win/Linux/Mac)? For some time now I myself settled for the Postscript name as it never caused problems in typescripts and it’s got no spaces. The filename might be the most explicit one, but oftentimes contains spaces which I *always* replace with underscores prior to installing a font; also case insensitive filesystems might cause trouble. Also, some fonts have weird file naming schemes (e.g. CMU and the Paratype fonts), so extra comments may be required to support legibility of the resulting code. The typescripts that come with Context use both (“name:” and “file:”) but I have no clue why exactly which method was chosen over the other in what case. The fontspec documentation (and the Simplefonts module and our course so far) conforms to the WYSIWYG tradition of purportedly more human-readable, spaced identifiers, e.g. “TeX Gyre Bonum Bold”. (Cf. [1]: “FullName is designed to be read by humans”.) So I judged that my preferred choice might not be as good as I think. I got cold feet and am about to remove the slide where I recommend the PS name (I can do that later anyways). Is there -- apart from personal opinions -- some valid reason to prefer one name over the other *in general*? Thanks for any advice and opinions.

Lists and alternative=command
by Rogers, Michael K 17 May '12

17 May '12

I'd love help with this: I have list that uses alternative=command, and it stopped working when I switched from last year's TeXLive context to a recent beta. I've minimized the problem to this example: \definelist [MyList] \define[3]\MyListEntry{:#1:#2:#3:} \setuplist [MyList] [alternative=command,command=\MyListEntry] \starttext \writetolist[MyList]{First}{Second} \placelist[MyList] \stoptext It generates the following error three times, once per argument in \MyListEntry, I suppose. ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.14 16:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.5.16 int: english/english ... ! Argument of \MyListEntry has an extra }. system > tex > error on line 11 in file foo1789.tex: Argument of ... 1 \definelist [MyList] 2 \define[3]\MyListEntry{:#1:#2:#3:} 3 \setuplist [MyList] [alternative=command,command=\MyListEntry] 4 \starttext 5 \writetolist[MyList]{First}{Second} 6 \placelist[MyList] 7 \stoptext <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \12>:79>:command ...ernativeparameter \c!command } \ifx \p_command \empty [\c... \strc_lists_apply_renderingsetup ...nderingsetup } \relax \the \t_lists_every... \strclistsentryprocess ... \fi \fi \fi \endcsname \dostoptagged \listextrapa... l.11 {} ... l.7 \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.
