\note does not preserve formatting -- example
by Peter Park Nelson 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

After updating to the current beta, I discovered that the \note macro does not format the note marker correctly. In the minimal example below, I define an item group for a paragraph-formatted list of article authors, and an "affiliation" note for a paragraph-formatted list of affiliations below them. (This is fairly common in academic journals; I have left out most of the text formatting.) The note marks for the third and fourth authors (Jones and Mandrell), which are created using the \note macro to reference previous affiliations, are too small and not bold. I would guess this is related to changes around line 122 of strc-not.mkiv, dealing with the handling of note attributes (see: \def\usenotestyleandcolor). \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \defineitemgroup[Authorlist] \setupitemgroup[Authorlist] [each] [text] [symbol=0, margin=no, align=normal, width=-10pt, distance=0pt, leftmargin=no, location=top, textdistance=big] \definenote[affiliation] [numbercommand=\ss, textstyle=\tfx\bf, paragraph=yes] \setupnotedefinition[affiliation] [location=serried, distance=.4em, display=no] \starttext \startlocalnotes[affiliation] \startAuthorlist % Convenience macros for setting up some affiliations separately: \def\useaffiliation#1{\note[#1]} \def\makeaffiliation[#1]#2{\setnotetext[affiliation][#1]{#2}} \makeaffiliation[opry]{The Grand Ole Opry} % The list of authors: \item Doris Doe\affiliation[misk]{Miskatonic University} \item Robert Roe\affiliation[love]{Lovecraft Institute} \item Cleopatra~Jones\note[misk] \item Barbara Mandrell\useaffiliation{opry} \stopAuthorlist \placelocalnotes[affiliation] \stoplocalnotes \stoptext -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

Footnote marker inside custom list environment - font problem
by Peter Park Nelson 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hello, Maybe this is related to the problems with \definenote posted recently...I have played with setups but have been unable to figure this one out. I have a custom enumeration environment to display the names of journal authors in a paragraph format, with local footnotes for their affiliations. Since updating, it no longer works as expected; the footnote markers after author names use the document roman font instead of the sans font. Also, if I use this inside a \startnarrower...\stopnarrower block, the environment extends past where it should stop, which didn't happen before. \defineitemgroup[Authorlist] \setupitemgroup[Authorlist] [each] [text] [symbol=0, margin=no, align=normal, width=-10pt, distance=0pt, leftmargin=no, location=top, textdistance=big] \definenote[affiliation] [numberconversion=Characters, style=\tfa\ss\bf, numbercommand=, paragraph=yes] \setupnotedefinition[affiliation] [location=serried, distance=.2em, display=no, style=\tfa\ss] \starttext \startAuthorlist \item Doris Doe\affiliation[misk]{Miskatonic University, Dept. of Allopatric Studies} \stopAuthorlist \stopAuthorlist \stoptext -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

line numbers in header
by Pablo Rodríguez 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi there, I'm trying to get a header that contains the numbers of first numbered line on each page and the number of the last numbered line on that page. This is especially useful for poetry. Here is a minimal sample of what I'm trying to do: \setupheadertexts[line--numbers] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{50}{\input knuth\par} \stoplinenumbering \stoptext What should I add instead of "line--numbers"? I have tried to search in the reference on the reference manual and the wiki, but I didn't find anything that could help. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk

Centring rotated float
by Marco 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

I discovered some problems centring a float which is rotated using externalfigure. Without rotation everything is fine. However, when the orientation option is provided, the frame doesn't match the figure any more and the centring gets lost. Using the dedicated rotation command works. Example: \starttext \startbuffer [fig] \useMPlibrary [dum] \starttext \startTEXpage \externalfigure [placeholder] [width=10cm, height=4cm] \stopTEXpage \stoptext \stopbuffer \savebuffer [fig] [fig] \executesystemcommand{context --purge \jobname-fig.tmp} \startplacefigure [title={Centred, but not rotated}] \externalfigure [\jobname-fig] \stopplacefigure \page \startplacefigure [title=Not centred and wrong frame location] \externalfigure [\jobname-fig] [orientation=90, frame=on] \stopplacefigure \page \startplacefigure [title=Why is this one placed on the left?] \externalfigure [\jobname-fig] [orientation=89, frame=on] \stopplacefigure \page \startplacefigure [title=Still not centred and wrong frame location] \midaligned{\externalfigure [\jobname-fig] [orientation=90, frame=on]} \stopplacefigure \page \startplacefigure [title=This one works] \rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure [\jobname-fig]} \stopplacefigure \stoptext Is this a bug?

issue with \setuplabeltext
by Pablo Rodríguez 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi there, I have the following sample code: \mainlanguage[agr] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=11pt] \setmainfont[Theano Didot] \setuplabeltext[chapter=Ῥαψωδία~] \setuphead[chapter][align=center] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{\mbox{}} \startlines Μῆνιν ἄειδε, θεά, Πηληιάδεω Ἀχιλῆος \stoplines \stoptext And I have just accidentally discovered that label text is only shown in the chapter title, if the \mainlanguage is different from [agr]. (I haven't checked all languages, but it works with la, en, ru and es.) I'm using MkIV from TL2011 and I don't know whether there is a newer command. By the way, how can I make that the Contents have also the chapter label text? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk

Wandering floats
by Felix Ingram 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hello all, I've noticed some strange behaviour with Tikz/PGF in floats. The following example should demonstrate it: \usemodule[tikz] \definefloat[newfloat][newfloats] \setupfloat[newfloat][ rightmargindistance=1cm, maxwidth=0.5cm, ] \startbuffer[myfloat] \placenewfloat[right, none, fit]{}{ \starttikzpicture \node[text width=2cm] {% \color[black]{\tfx\bf I'm the Doctor. Well, they call me the Doctor. I don't know why. I call me the Doctor. I don't know why. } }; \stoptikzpicture } \stopbuffer \starttext \getbuffer[myfloat] Saving the world with meals on wheels. No, I'll fix it. I'm good at fixing rot. Call me the Rotmeister. No, I'm the Doctor. Don't call me the Rotmeister. No… It's a thing; it's like a plan, but with more greatness. I'm the Doctor, I'm worse than everyone's aunt. *catches himself* And that is not how I'm introducing myself. Heh-haa! No, I'll fix it. I'm good at fixing rot. Call me the Rotmeister. No, I'm the Doctor. Don't call me the Rotmeister. \page \getbuffer[myfloat] Saving the world with meals on wheels. No, I'll fix it. I'm good at fixing rot. Call me the Rotmeister. No, I'm the Doctor. Don't call me the Rotmeister. No… It's a thing; it's like a plan, but with more greatness.

No, I'm the Doctor. Don't call me the Rotmeister. \stoptext The first float will be placed nicely in the right margin up against the text. The second, however, will be shifted into the margin. Can anyone suggest anything? I'm not sure how to go about debugging this. I believe it is another example of the shifting PGF graphics that others (and I) have seen since upgrading to a new beta (I believe this changed sometime since version 2011.11.29). Any help appreciated, Felix

\startitemize[columns] broken with backgrounds?
by Otared Kavian 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi all, It seems that when using background, \startitemize[columns] does not work as expected: there are no columns, and the numbers of the items are pushed to the left. Below is a not so minimal example: the resulting PDF can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/enumeration-background-exo.pdf I am not sure whether this behaviour began with a recent beta or not.
