Details.pdf -- how current?
by Peter Park Nelson 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Given that ConTeXt has been under development for 10 years since the Details manual was written, can someone tell me how much of the material in is still applicable to recent betas? The examples use parameters that are not documented on the wiki, such as "inner" (\setupfloat) in this example on p.61: \setupfloat [edgefigure] [default={inner,height,high,low,none}, maxwidth=4cm, margin=\strutdepth] -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

A bug in latin modern fonts?
by Janne Junnila 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hi! The following example seems to have some troubles with the latin modern fonts: \starttext The function $f \colon \reals \to \reals$ is given by $x \mapsto x - 3$. \stoptext The colon is printed fine, but the blackboard bold Rs don't look correct. The \mapsto symbol is missing and there's a hyphen instead of minus. Are others having the same issue? I tried to do a fresh install, but the problem persisted. There were some messages like fonts > otf loading > skipping cyclic reference U+00028 in math variant U+00028 during compiling. I don't know if they are related to the problem. Thanks, Janne Junnila

\definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2
by Peter Park Nelson 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

First-page layout is an issue that I have asked about before, but maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is my question in an earlier thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111228.041922.c60f9cd5.en.html . I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct. However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and \definelayout[1]. %%------------------------------------------------------------------- setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupindenting[yes, medium] \setuplayout [width=middle, backspace=15mm, topspace=10mm, height=254mm, header=10mm, % normal header headerdistance=5mm, footer=5mm, footerdistance=5mm, grid=yes] \definelayout [first] [width=middle, backspace=15mm, topspace=10mm, height=254mm, header=0mm, % no header headerdistance=0mm, footer=25mm, % big footer footerdistance=5mm, grid=yes] \definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes] \setupheadertexts [This is a header] [pagenumber] [pagenumber] [Some text] \setupfootertexts [footer] [footer] [footer] [footer] \starttext \startcolumnset[body] \dorecurse{20}{\input tufte\par} \stopcolumnset \stoptext %%--------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks, -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nelson(a)gmail.com

Set a block of content at minimum distance from top of page?
by Peter Park Nelson 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hi ConTeXt list, I have a document with a graphic (logo) in the upper right corner (positioned on a layer and placed as a background). To the left of this graphic are several text elements (Title, Author List, etc.) that don't go all the way across the page. (Currently I have wrapped them in \startnarrower...\stopnarrower -- is there a better way?) But this is followed by an Abstract paragraph that uses the full width of the page. I would like to ensure that the full-width text never starts high enough on the page that it encroaches on the upper-right-corner graphic. So, I'm looking for a way to protect the graphic, or to force the Abstract to start a minimum distance from the top of the page. The Abstract can be forced down the page if necessary by manually inserting a \godown[] command before it, but I would prefer a programmatic solution. Floating the graphic and wrapping text around it does not seem like a good option, because I want to ensure that its position is absolute and it never moves. Also, the Abstract needs to be full-width throughout, so I need to force it to start after the graphic rather than partially wrapping it. Any suggestions appreciated...

You're right. I made a simple error in modifying strc-lst.lua. I typed 1 (numeral) rather than l (letter). Now it all works as you said it should. Thanks!

mirror one single character
by Steffen Wolfrum 03 Feb '12

Hi, one can use this ... \rotate[rotation=180]{\utfchar{"1D0E}} ... to rotate a single character when needed. Do we have a similar, handy command for mirroring a single character? Steffen

If I add "\placepublications[criterium=all]", I get errors that appear to be related to what we changed. Note that if I press return twice, the document is produced as expected.

location=middle smashes the height

Hi, Something has changed recently in how location=middle (and location=low) work in frames. The height of the frame is \smash-ed in both cases. Minimal example: \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \input knuth Some text \inframed[height=4cm]{\tfc IMPORTANT} \input ward \startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[dum][location=middle,width=3cm, height=5cm]}{a} {\externalfigure[dum][location=middle,width=3cm, height=2cm]}{b} \stopcombination \stoptext Aditya
