Different color for external URLs
by Khaled Hosny 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

How can I set a different color for external URLs than that used for internal (in document) links? \setupinteraction[state=start,color=red] \starttext \section[1]{One} In \in{section}[1] and url \goto{example.com}[url(http://example.com)]. \stoptext P.S. I can't use \setURL \useURL for several reasons. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

tiny bug in table (or my code?)
by Mojca Miklavec 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Dear Hans, There is something wrong in this example, but I'm not able to figure out if it's a problem in my code or a bug (with MKII it works just fine). When compiled with MKIV, I get extra space on the right, as if a column on the right was missing. \def\mymacro#1#2#3{\VL #1 \NC #2 \NC #3 \VL\AR} \starttable[|cp(2em)|rp(2em)|rp(2em)|] \HL \VL 1 \NC 2 \NC 3 \VL\AR \mymacro123 \HL \stoptable Mojca PS: \startTEXpage ... \stopTEXpage around the code behaves as if table was infinitely small. Is that OK?

\definefontalternative breaks font switches in math
by Florian Wobbe 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Dear typescript experts, in an earlier Email I reported, that the font switches did not work in math mode. E.g., $\bf a=\alpha$ $\bi a=\alpha$ did not display bold math. It turned out that this happens when I invoke \definefontalternative. Normaly \bf is defined like this: *\show\bf > \bf=\protected macro: ->\ifmmode \mathbf \else \normalbf \fi . <*> \show\bf After using \definefontalternative it looks different: *\show\bf > \bf=\protected macro: ->\setcurrentfontalternative {bf}. <*> \show\bf Minimal example: % \definefontalternative [sb] % <-- uncomment me to break bold math \starttext $\bf 3x^2+7x$ \stoptext How to avoid this? Thanks for advice, Florian

Is setupspacing configurable？
by seasoul 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

I am setting up the space after a period. >From the context manual, it is said that "Default a space is placed after a period that ends a sentence. In some countries it is custom to stretch the space after a period. ... One can however change this spacing \setupspacing[...] ...broad packed if this argument is set as 'broad', what is the exact space? Let's say I want two spaces after the period, how to set this?

If I missed something, please send your test files to the list or to me, please use the sample.bib which is now included in the minimals, and please make the test cases as short as possible. Hi, I have another problem: the ELECTRONIC publication, hh2010, never gets returned or printed, even with \placepublications[criterium=all]. I noted however that ConTeXt somehow is aware of this item since it leaves an open space where this item should have been.

heading in margin + paragraph starting with float
by Philipp Gesang 08 Dec '10

08 Dec '10

Dear fellow contextualists, a while ago Wolfgang saved me from erratic blank lines that had kept appearing next to margin headings.[1] Now the problem arose again when starting the first paragraph with a caption. Placement does not seem to effect this (try “bottom”, but at sufficiently large sizes of the float and grid typesetting activated an additional line is inserted. How can I suppress those? ··8<····························································· \define[2]\SectionCommand {\inleftmargin{#2}} \setuphead [section] [ alternative=text, style=bold, command=\SectionCommand, distance=0pt, before={\blank[nowhite]}, after={\blank[nowhite]}, ] \useexternalfigure[cow][cow][width=8cm] % try “8cm” \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \section{Hello Cow!} \placefigure[outer]{Artistic Rendering of a Dutch Cow ({\em Bos primigenius taurus}).}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input dawkins \par } \stoptext ··8<····························································· [1] http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20101121.122232.07a565dd.en.html Thanks for any advice, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

for each script a different font
by Peter Schorsch 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hi all, is it possible to mix severel fonts (for each script one font)? Regarding to some fragments of the wiki I tried: \setupdirections[bidi=global] \definefontfeature[cyrl][script=cyrl] \definefontfeature[brai][script=brai] \definefontfeature[arab][script=arab] \starttypescript [serif] [vollkorn] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:vollkornregular] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:doulossil][feature=cyrl] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:scheherazade][feature=arab] \defomefpmtsynonym [Serif][name:sechspunktbraille][feature=brai] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[fliesstext][rm][serif][vollkorn] \setupbodyfont[fliesstext,rm,11pt] \starttext Regular Еупгдфк цшкв уы more test text a ُءشةحمث and continue latin script ⠇⠤⠧⠬⠀⠟⠢⠭. \stoptext But the last \definefontsynonym overrides the entire unicode space and not only the part regarding to the related script. Is the mechanism I tried in ConTeXt possible?

Widgets color option not working with Mark IV
by Reviczky, Adam 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hi The color option in setupfield for widgets is ignored and always gives me black text with Mark IV (see: MarkIV.pdf compiled with a recent ConTeXt minimals). The attached example (widgets.tex) with Mark II however makes the correct color, in this case red, as you can see in (MarkII.pdf) compiled on live.contextgarden.net (aka with Mark II). The macro in question is: --- \setupfield [ShortLine] [label,frame,horizontal] [offset=4pt,height=fit,framecolor=green,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.80] [height=18pt,width=80pt,align=middle,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] % color=name does not work with MARK IV [height=18pt,width=80pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] --- On the same subject, is it possible in any way to make a custom style for the entry form text? The style option of setupfield just allows: "normal bold slanted boldslanted type", but I would like to change the size of the text-entry to eg. tfb or tfc. (By giving size commands to the style option the first form entry changes to that size but it reverts on the subsequent entries to the normal size.) Regards Adam
