most recent manual
by Chris Lott 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

I'm working my way through the ConTeXt manual/reference. I discovered the draft of a new manual at: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/manual_being_revised -- is this the latest available anywhere? I'm finding a lot of things that are out of date in the new draft (for instance, using \setupnote[footnote] instead of \setupfootnotes) which generally means doing it wrong, searching google and the wiki for information, and finding out that things have changed :) Is this the best way? c -- Chris Lott <chris(a)chrislott.org>

setupnote[footnote] adding extra pages
by Chris Lott 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

Why does this document create three pages, with the footnote on the second and a third that is blank? \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=Romannumerals] \starttext This is a sample letter. \footnote{foo} \stoptext If I remove the \setupnote line, then everything is on one page, as it should be. c -- Chris Lott <chris(a)chrislott.org>

Beta: bug in \setuphead[chapter]
by Otared Kavian 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

Dear Hans, dear all, My best wishes to all the community for this New Year! With the latest beta, \setuphead[chapter] has a strange behavior: the order of two keys seems to be important… More precisely \setuphead [chapter] [header=high, align=middle ] results in an error (see below), while \setuphead [chapter] [align=middle, header=high ] works as expected (I had a tough time to find the bug and this minimal example…). Minimal example that does not work: %%% begin bug-setuphead.tex \setuphead [chapter] [header=high, align=middle ] \starttext \chapter{My chapter title} \input knuth \stoptext %%% end bug-setuphead.tex The error message points to: \page_layouts_synchronize_element_indeed ...ounds \else \ifx \previoustextst... \page_layouts_synchronize_element ...t_indeed {#1} \fi <inserted text> ..._element \currentlayoutelement \fi \docommand ...=high]\the \everysetuplayoutelement \next1 #1,->\docommand {#1} \syst_helpers_do_process_comma_item \syst_helpers_do_process_comma_list ...rgument #1, ]\relax \global \advance \… Best regards: OK

Undefined controle sequence with usemodule[vim]
by pol stra 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

Hello everyone, When I use t-vim module, I get this error message: <error msg> system > tex > error on line 15 in file vim.tex: Undefined control sequence ... </error msg> for example with this code: <code> \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[python][syntax=python, escape=on] \starttext \startpython # Returns \m{\sum_{i=1}^{n}i} def sum_upto(n) r = range(1, n+1) return sum(r) \stoppython \stoptext </code> But as you can see, there is no line 15 in this file ! Anyway, I can just ignore the error and get the output, but that’s not good. I attached the log file.

\setlayerframed align-option causes shift

Hi Hans, setting the align-option of \setlayerframed causes a small (but visible) right shift. \definelayer[page][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=page] \starttext \showframe \setlayerframed [page] [x=\backspace,y=\topspace] [width=broad,height=\headerheight,align=right] {Not OK} % [width=broad,height=\headerheight] {OK} \page[empty] \stoptext Regards Andreas

problem with cross references
by Rene van Hassel 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hello Members, there is a problem with cross references. See the piece of code beneath this text. Under texexec the piece of code works well. With context there is a problem, the cross references of the item(s) don't work, the pdf-file is not interactive. What is the problem? I hope that somebody can give me some advice. With the hidden blocks there is no problem. But with the item(s) there is a problem, Kind Regards, Rene' van Hassel % Code: \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=orange] \setupreferencing[state=start] \defineblock[exercise] \defineblock[solution] \defineenumeration[exercise][location=top,text=Exercise] \defineenumeration[solution][location=top,text=Solution] \hideblocks[exercise] \hideblocks[solution] \starttext \chapter{First Attempt} % Begin: First Attempt % With texexec and context both go well. \beginexercise \startexercise[exer-1] First exercise.\crlf See \in{Solution}[sol-1]. \stopexercise \startexercise[exer-2] Second exercise.\crlf See \in{Solution}[sol-2]. \stopexercise \endexercise \beginsolution \startsolution[sol-1] First solution!\crlf See \in{Exercise}[exer-1]. \stopsolution \startsolution[sol-2] Second solution!\crlf See \in{Exercise}[exer-2]. \stopsolution \endsolution \useblocks[exercise] \page \useblocks[solution] \page % End: First Attempt \chapter{Second Attempt} % Begin: Second Attempt Problem is, that the references of the items become not interactive under mkiv (context).
