Hello, I installed context according to this page on my Fedora 15 system. Installation seems to went well. But after runing context on this document: \starttext \externalfigure[http://donsmaps.com/images7/lucy2reconstsmh.jpg] \stoptext I got this strange output: mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/var/lib/texmf/luatex-cache/context/254f26b81d3615bc933c9bf20a856557/formats/cont-en" --lua="/var/lib/texmf/luatex-cache/context/254f26b81d3615bc933c9bf20a856557/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "./a.tex" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2012020407 (rev 4277) \write18 enabled.

Hi, I want to set up individual floats with different spaces before/after. Setting the frame on/off works, but the spaces show no effect: \definefloat[Myfigure][Myfigures] \setupfloat[Myfigure][frame=on,spacebefore=200pt,spaceafter=300pt] \starttext test \placeMyfigure{example}{{\externalfigure[foo][frame=off]}}% text \stoptext Steffen

Cross-document referencing; How to?!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hi, After going through the suggested reading "This Way", sep 2011 (http://pragma-ade.com/show-mag-15.htm) in relation to this topic it was time to do some tests! Well, I stumbled on the very first basic problem! Using the \useexternalfile[logical_name][filename] resulted in an Undefined control sequence ... error message!? Anybody any suggestions about the syntax of this command?! The description in the reference part of the ConTeXt Garden wiki site is not of much help to me either, sorry! Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. Currently using ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.25 14:16 MKIV fmt: 2012.1.30 int: english/english

Broken Nightly (2012.02.05)
by Kip Warner 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hey folks, My book was compiling fine with the Jan 27th nightly, but kicks the bucket with the Feb 5th build: ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \strc_descriptions_yes_reference \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \strc_descriptions_start_yes ...ons_yes_reference [#1] l.12 \startdefinition[definition:Albedo] {Albedo} ? E You want to edit file Source/Terms_and_Concepts/Terms_and_Concepts.tex at line 12 The offending line is just: \startdefinition[definition:Albedo]{Albedo} Hope that is helpful and my apologies if ConTeXt really is telling the truth and my typesetting is just bad. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Problem with letter module
by Romain Diss 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hi, I am writing a letter with the 'letter' module (mkiv and last beta) and the \encl{} command doesn't work anymore. I know that the module has been rewriten recently but I can't find any doc or examples of the new syntax. I tried to look at the source code but it doesn't help. So is there any command which replace \encl{}? And is there any documentation (even succint) of the new module? Thanks. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

A5 on A4 - top/left-corner of A5 should be 0,0
by Jan Heinen 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Hello I have put an A5-page on A4-paper. And then I put a cow on to the page ... but it should be on the top/left-corner of the A5-page instead of the A4-page: I know, one posibility would be to use x=... and y=... in \definelayer. Isn't there an easier way to refer to the A5 instead to the A4 so tha x=0mm and y=0mm ist the top/left-corner of the A5? \setuppapersize [A5][A4] \setuplayout[marking=on, location=middle] \definelayer[newlayer] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds [paper] [background=newlayer,state=start ]% \starttext \setlayerframed [newlayer] [width=60mm,height=60mm,hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm] [strut=no,offset=overlay,frame=on] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,width=40mm,height=40mm]}% Hello world. \stoptext Regards Jannis

05 Feb '12

Hi there, I have tried to fake bold and italic fakes for Theano Didot (only experimenting) as explained on the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX#Handling_special_cases) My code is the following: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] \definefontfeature[fakebold][default][stretch=2] \definefontfeature[fakebolditalic][default][slant=.25, stretch=2] \setmainfont[Theano Didot][italicfont={* Regular}, boldfont={* Regular}, bolditalicfont={* Regular}, italicfeatures=fakeitalic, boldfeatures=fakebold, bolditalicfeatures=fakebolditalic] \starttext hi there {\em hi there} {\bf hi there {\em hi there}} \stoptext But fro some strange reason, I don't get the fake bold versions. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk

Graphics positioning problems in current/recent betas
by Peter Park Nelson 05 Feb '12

05 Feb '12

I have been studying the Details manual and have found that many of the examples presented there do not work correctly with the current or recent betas. The ones I have tested work correctly on texshow and with the Texlive 2011 (MkIV Luatex) version. 1. In the first example below (based on Details p. 25), note that the graphic is positioned very high relative to the paragraph, although vertical space appears to be reserved correctly: %%-------------------- start ----------------------------------%% \starttext \setupfloat[figure] [sidespacebefore=none,sidespaceafter=none,sidealign=depth] \input tufte\par \placefigure[inner,none]{caption}{\framed[height=3cm]{graphic}} \input tufte\par \stoptext %%------------------------ stop -----------------------%% 2. Figure position in the second example below (Details p.65) is similar, but an empty box is placed instead of the figure: %% -------------------------- start ------------------------- %% \starttext \showboxes \definelayer[text-1][position=yes] \defineanchor[rightbottom][text-1][location=lt,hoffset=max,voffset=max] \definefloat[myfigure][figure] \setupfloat[myfigure][sidespaceafter=,sidespacebefore=] \defineanchor[rightbottom][text-1][location=lt,hoffset=max,voffset=max] \input tufte\par \placemyfigure [left,none] {} {\anchor[rightbottom] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=5cm,frame=on]}} \input tufte\par \stoptext %% ----------------------------- stop ----------------------%% -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com
