Possible bug in \unit
by Marco 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

There seems to be a bug in the new unit system for \unit{kbit}: % bit \unit{kilo bit} % kbit \unit{kilobit} % kbit \unit{kbit} % kB, shouldn't this be kbit? Another thing: \unit{3.4e-5} yields to 3.4⁻⁵ that's expected according to the manual. But how to get 3.4·10⁻⁵ (either with \cot or \times)? Marco Patzer

\usezipfile
by Wolfgang Schuster 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi Hans, the \usezipfile command doesn’t work work. I can get rid of one problem when I make the following change in data-zip.lua: function resolvers.usezipfile(archive) local specification = resolvers.splitmethod(archive) -- to be sure local archive = specification.filename if archive and not registeredfiles[archive] then local z = zip.openarchive(archive) if z then local tree = url.query(specification.query).tree or "" if trace_locating then report_zip("registering, registering archive '%s'",archive) end statistics.starttiming(resolvers.instance) resolvers.prependhash('zip',archive) resolvers.extendtexmfvariable(archive) -- resets hashes too registeredfiles[archive] = z -- instance.files[archive] = resolvers.registerzipfile(z,tree) resolvers.instance.files[archive] = resolvers.registerzipfile(z,tree) statistics.stoptiming(resolvers.instance) elseif trace_locating then report_zip("registering, unknown archive '%s'",archive) end elseif trace_locating then report_zip("registering, '%s' not found",archive) end end Another problem afterward is that context can’t load the file in the zip archive even though it can find it as seen in the error message: ! I can't find file `lipsum.zip?name=tex/context/third/lipsum/lipsum.tex'. Wolfgang

Wrong bookmark for publications list
by Marco 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

There is an inconsistency concerning the bookmarks for the publications list. It generates the section head “References”, but the PDF bookmark “pubs”. \setupinteraction [state=start] \placebookmarks \starttext % generates bookmark ”pubs” \completepublications % workaround: % generates bookmark ”References” \startchapter [title=References] \placepublications \stopchapter \stoptext Marco

Keep struggling with old style numerals!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi ConTeXt user's, A few days ago I installed the latest ConTeXt version but now my oldstyle settings don't seem to work any more! I use the following settings in my preamble: \usetypescript[schola] \setupbodyfont[schola,10pt] \definefontfeature [oldstyle] [default] [onum=yes] \addff{oldstyle} Perhaps something changed that I missed! Thanks in advance! Regards Gerard Verhaag P.S. I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.29 23:11 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.5 int: english/english!

Enumeration in mkiv
by Otared Kavian 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Dear Hans, In transferring some stuff from mkii to mkiv, I noticed a change in the way mkiv puts too much distance between the title of an enumeration and the text following it. I am not sure whether I have noticed this before, but my feeling is that the change is somewhat recent. I have put the result of the source below here, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/enumeration-mkii.pdf and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/enumeration-mkiv.pdf I think the correct behaviour is the one with mkii. Best regards: OK PS: here is the source file: %%% begin enumeration-mkiv.tex \defineenumeration[exo] [location=hanging, text=Exercise, between=, before=, stopper={.}, after= \blank] \starttext \startexo This is a test with mkiv. \startitemize[n] \item First question. \item Second question. \stopitemize \stopexo \stoptext %%% end enumeration-mkiv.tex

Reverse numbering for enumerations?
by Otared Kavian 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi all, When using \startitemize[n,reverse] one gets items numbered in reverse order. I wonder if this feature exists also for enumerations. An example is given below in which the last enumeration is written on top of the file and I wish it were possible to have the enumerations numbered in reverse order. Thanks in advance for any insight: OK PS: here is an example file: %%%% enumeration-reverse.tex \defineenumeration[Lecture] [location=hanging, text={Lecture n°}, between=, before=, stopper={.}, after= {\hrule\blank}] \setupenumerations[Lecture][number=yes] % \setupenumerations[Lecture][numbering=reverse] % this has no effect though… \starttext \startLecture Tuesday December 6th: Banach spaces. \startitemize[n] \item First subject. \item Second subject. \stopitemize \stopLecture \startLecture Tuesday November 29th: Norms. \startitemize[n] \item First subject. \item Second subject. \stopitemize \stopLecture \startLecture Tuesday November 22nd: Topological Vector Spaces. \startitemize[n] \item First subject. \item Second subject. \stopitemize \stopLecture \stoptext %%% end enumeration-reverse.tex

Header spoils X(HT)ML export
by Andreas Harder 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi Hans, please consider the following example. \setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes] \setupheadertexts[{\startelement[header] test \stopelement}] \starttext \startbuffer \startparagraph \input tufte \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopbuffer \startsection[title=first head] \getbuffer \stopsection \startsection[title=second head] \getbuffer \stopsection %% try to comment this section \startsection[title=third head] \getbuffer \stopsection \stoptext The section-title order is now 3, 1, 2 (in the XHTML output). This problem appears only if there is a page break. After commenting the last section the XHTML output looks like expected. Best wishes Andreas PS. I’ve encountered another export problem. Perhaps it is because of an not intending using of \settaggedmetadata … Here is an example. \setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes] \startsetups document:start \settaggedmetadata[title=\documentvariable{title}] \stopsetups \startdocument [title=This document title is wrapped in section-tags] \startsection[title=test] \startparagraph \input tufte \stopparagraph \stopsection \stopdocument

Columnset error with \setupheader[state=high]
by Peter Park Nelson 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hello, I hope someone has solved this problem already but I haven't been able to find a solution. When using \setupheader[state=high], my columnset behaves correctly on the first page but runs over the footer area on all subsequent pages. If I do not use state=high (i.e. normal header on first page) the columnset works correctly. However I need to get rid of that first page header. The result is the same if I set state=high using \setuphead[title][header=high]. I found a mention of this in a forum thread from 2006, but no solution: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/018535.html: >Ehrt, Michael wrote: >>* *>*> Do you know if the column text overrunning the footer when using*>*> state=high is a general problem or "just me"?

`\{start, stop}MPpage`: MetaPost figure does not fit canvas(?) in resulting PDF file
by Paul Menzel 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, using the following example \starttext \startMPpage draw (0,0)--(10,10)--(15,5)--(20,10); draw (0,0)--(0,10)--(10,10)--(10,5)--(15,5)--(15,10)--(20,10) withcolor blue; \stopMPpage \stoptext it looks like the bottom is not included in the resulting PDF file and at the top there is too much room. (So it looks like the figure is moved too far to the bottom.) Using the examples from the Wiki [1] with circles works though. I am using ConTeXt Standalone.
