roman pagenumbers?
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Trying to use roman numerals as pagenumbers failed. What am I doing wrong or has some other thing changed? A minimal example follows. Changing romannumerals into characters doesn't make a difference. This is ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.09 10:08 MKIV % test pagenumber conversion \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \starttext \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] % or: characters page 1\page page 2\page page 3\page \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=numbers] page 4\page page 5\page page 6\page \stoptext Hans van der Meer

about \startcombination
by dalyoung 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hi, Today, I found a strange behavior of \startcombination. case 1. \placefigure[][]{} {\startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} \stopcombination} I got an error message as following: ..... fonts > virtual math > unable to resolve name mapsfromchar fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt is loaded ! Missing { inserted. system > tex > error on line 8 in file Workshop.tex: Missing { inserted ... 1 \starttext 2 3 \placefigure[][]{} 4 {\startcombination[3*1] 5 {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} 6 {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} 7 {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} 8 >> \stopcombination} 9 10 \stoptext 11 12 13 <inserted text> { <to be read again> & \docombination_b ->& &&\hskip \combinationparameter \c!distance &\docombination l.8 \stopcombination} ? case 2: If I changed [3*1] to [2*1], then no errors. But the output is as same as the case of [1*2], that is, two cows are aligned vertically not horizontally. \placefigure[][]{} {\startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\makeupwidth]} \stopcombination} Since there is no question about this in the list, I wonder it happens in my system only. Would you please test the above? The versions of LuaTeX and of ConTeXt are as following: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051908 (rev 4277) ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.23 09:52 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.31 Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Problem with doublesided
by Tomas Hala 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hello, because of problems with a double-sided document, I compared ConTeXt behaviour in TeXlive2010, TeXlive2011 and beta-version at contextgarden.net. I found out, unfortunately, that the following code works differently: only on TeXlive2010 version I received the proper design, i.e. even page has mark on the left, odd one on the right, while the TeXlive2011 and the beta produce single-sided layout, i.e. marks are on the right side in all pages. Or is there any special option in the current version? Thanks for a help, Tomas Hala \starttext \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout[location=doublesided,marking=on] \setuppapersize[A5][A4] blablablabla \page blablablabla \page blablablabla etc. \stoptext

Refering to point inside external pdf file?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

Hi ConTeXt User's, I'm struggling with references to external PDF files using the \useexternaldocument command. Refering to the document works fine, but pointing at a specific location inside the file using for example \in{chapter}[logicalfilename::theverylocation] doesn't seem to work! Feature is described in "ConTeXt an excursion", page 64 (paper version)! Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.23 09:52 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.27

11 Jan '12

Hi ConTeXt User's, How can I force indentation of the very first paragraph of a chapter\section? Using the option first in the \setupindenting command doesn't seem to work? Neither does \indenting[always]! Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.23 09:52 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.27

Lettrine and colors
by Michael Guravage 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Greetings, It appears that specifying a FontHook in setuplettrine that inclues a color simply breaks. This feature worked with ConTeXt from 2011.07.26, but breaks in ConTeXt from 2012.01.09. Any suggestions how to resolve this would be mightily appreciated. Here is a minimal example: \usemodule[lettrine] \setuplettrine [FontHook={\color[red]}] \starttext \lettrine{W}{e thrive} in information||thick worlds because of our marvelous and everyday capacity to select, edit, single out, structure, highlight, group, pair, merge, harmonize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense, reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog, classify, list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate, discriminate, distinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over, sort, integrate, blend, inspect, filter, lump, skip, smooth, chunk, average, approximate, cluster, aggregate, outline, summarize, itemize, review, dip into, flip through, browse, glance into, leaf through, skim, refine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow the wheat from the chaff and separate the sheep from the goats. \stoptext -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

Indentation the other way?
