bug with \setupnotation[number=no] and sectioning commands
by Pablo Rodríguez 06 May '12

06 May '12

Hi there, I'm afraid that note numbering in body text is wrong in latest beta (the bug was also in previous beta). Here you have a sample that shows the bug: \setupnotation[footnote][number=no] \setuphead[chapter][number=no] \starttext \chapter{First chapter} one\footnote{two} \section{First section} three\footnote{four} \stoptext There should be no note numbering, but the body text takes the sectioning command number for the footnote references (which is obviously wrong). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Cross-document referencing not working!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 05 May '12

05 May '12

Hi ConTeXt User's, I'm struggling with cross-document referencing, but can't get it working! When I for example use \useexternaldocument[tst][test][A test external] together with \from[tst] the test.pdf file is correctly opened in Acrobat Reader. But the \in{section}[tst::crossref] doesn't open the test.pdf file at all?! The jump to the 'crossref' section doesn't seem to work! Please take a look at the two included test files. I first compile test.tex followed by the compilation of crossref.tex. Currently I use: ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.25 14:16 MKIV fmt: 2012.2.7 int: english/english. Regards, Gerard Verhaag

drawarrow and transparency
by Alan BRASLAU 05 May '12

05 May '12

I have a MetaPost question concerning drawarrow withtransparency (or any other compound object). Is there some clever way to achieve uniform transparency for a compound object? For example, in the minimal example below, how can one obtain a transparent arrow without getting an X-ray vision of the arrowhead? \starttext \startMPpage drawarrow origin--(1cm,0) withtransparency(1,.5) ; drawarrow origin--(0,1cm) withtransparency(1,.5) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext Alan

Non-Printing PDFs with ConTeXt
by Malte Stien 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hi all, Is there a way I can get ConTeXt to produce PDFs that are not-printable? Just as a background to my question: This is not about copyright. Rather, I am using ConTeXt to produce quality process documents. The quality management system requires that all quality process documents be "controlled", that is one must prevent folks from printing copies of their own that then keep floating around the place and cannot be retracted when a new version of the quality process document is issued. Hence, I am aiming for a paper-less scenario where everyone reads the documents on screen. Therefore, I would like to make printing impossible, or at least hard. The only one who should be able to print the document is the Document Manager; maybe the documents could be encrypted (PDF supports that, I believe), such that the Document Manager can print them knowing the password. So far, I have only seen Word and Acrobat Distiller being able to do this. Is there a way I can setup ConTeXt to do this? Or are there some command line tools, that can do that after the PDF has been produced? Any hints would be great. Thank you, Malte.

Wiki - results differ?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hello, Wiki and a file processed on a local computer give different results - - please compare "http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/doif..." and the example attached: ---- \starttext \ctxlua{test = true} Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}. \ctxlua{test = false} Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}. \stoptext ---- The result should be: " Test is True. Test is False. " which works fine on my computer. But wiki shows (wrongly): " Test is TrueFalse. Test is TrueFalse. " although the same code is used in the example: ---- <context source="yes" text="Gives:"> \starttext \ctxlua{test = true} Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}. \ctxlua{test = false} Test is \ctxlua{commands.testcase(test)}{True}{False}. \stoptext </context> ---- Any idea why both results differ? And how to make wiki show the good result? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

\inputif(file)exist(s)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hello, just a quick question - is there a command like "\inputif(file)exist(s)", which will \input a file if it exists, i.e. with no error if it doesn't? TIA. Lukas -- Ing.

Hi, Line numbering does not respect the parameters given with \startlinenumbering. For example: \definelinenumbering [test] \starttext \startlinenumbering[test][color=blue,align=flushright,distance=0.5em] \input knuth \stoplinenumbering \page \setuplinenumbering [test][color=blue,align=flushright,distance=0.5em] \startlinenumbering[test] \input knuth \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Aditya

[***SPAM***] Indentation for beginner
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 03 May '12

03 May '12

I am putting together a needed resume and learning context at the same time. What I want is or should be simple, but I am not familiar with which options to set. I am using the following, because I don't want to use any margin for some forgotten reason, just text area. I am currently using this: (abbreviated) % % relevant snippet % \definedescription[rsection][location=left,width=3.0cm,headstyle=\sc] \rsection{Education} \startitemize[5,packed] \item bozo the clown \item is here today. \stopitemize \rsection{Work\\Experience} \startitemize[5,packed] \item UCLA BoA \item LMU BSCS \stopitemize ... % % end snippet % The above is fine, except that I want the items to be level with the "resume section header". As it is now the items come out below the resume section description, like this: EDUCATION * bozo the clown * is here today WORK EXPERIENCE * UCLA BoA * LMU BSCS --------------------------------------------- % Whereas I want it to be like this: EDUCATION * bozo the clown * is here today WORK * UCLA BoA EXPERIENCE * LMU BSCS % above or below WORK EXPERIENCE * UCLA BoA * LMU BSCS % In other words I want the first item of an itemization to line up with the resume section description header's first or last line. I am thinking it might be to set someing in the "before", "after", or "command" or to set maybe one to /nop out whatever is there currently. I don't know how to find out what commands these default to, if any, but even if I knew at this point, I would still be stuck. Though I'd like to know about that to. Any advice on this would be appreciated of how to get this desired format would be much appreciated. Regards, hwitloc

MetaPost circular_shade Command
by Troy Henderson 03 May '12

03 May '12

The command circular_shade(fullcircle scaled 4in,0,white,red); in MetaPost does not act as I think it should. It performs a gradient fill starting at the center of the circle by filling this center in white (which is expected), and changing the color as the radius/diameter changes (which is also expected), but the final radius appears to have a RGB color of about (1,0.29,0.29) which is not red (thus is unexpected) since red = (1,0,0). However, the command circular_shade(unitsquare shifted (-0.5,-0.5) scaled 4in,0,white,red); creates a gradient filled square whose center is white and whose northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast corner are red (as somewhat expected) and thus whose east, north, west, and south tip are about (1,0.29,0.29) like the circle. I would appreciate an explanation of why this acts like it does, and (more importantly), let me know how I can get a gradient filled circle whose center gets filled with a RGB color c and outer radius color d. Clearly, circular_shade(fullcircle scaled 4in,0,c,d); does not do this. Thanks in advance, Troy Henderson
