framed text over multiple pages
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Dear list, I'm trying to find the command (in manual, wiki or mailing list) that enables using background behind text spanning over multiple pages. At the moment I have \startframedtext [width=\textwidth, background=color, backgroundcolor=mycolor1, frame=off, leftframe=on, framecolor=mycolor2] but I remember that there used to be a command that allowed doing the same, but spanning the text over multiple pages. I would be grateful for any hint/pointer to the manual. I've found a document that does underlining of words in paragraphs, but this seems like an easier problem anyway. Thank you very much, Mojca

fixed columns height
by Jano Kula 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hello, looking for the multicolums of fixed height I've found the solution from Wolfgang [1], which doesn't work with latest beta (mkiv): \usemodule[streams] \definestreamlayer[test][method=overlay] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext \startstreamlayer[test] \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns \stopstreamlayer \setlayer[test][x=5cm,y=10cm]{\placestreamlayer[test]} \stoptext Here is the scenario: tree columns of fixed height should be placed at the precise place (end of the page, so they can also float there). It is necessary to measure their natural height, also, to check if all the material fits in the the specified height or find some other way to check if the material is lost or not. Do you have any hints? Thanks, Jano [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/55324/focus=55433

startenumerate in romans a la LaTeX
by Xan xan 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi, I just want to simulate the behaviour of \usepackage{enumerate} ... \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item \end{enumerate} in ConTeXt. That is: - items in (i), (ii), .... - right indentation of items: in context items start at the same point. In LaTeX is the item text itself who starts at the same point, not the romans. I try: \defineenumeration [mylema] [text={Lemma}, % Què es mostra before={\blank[big]}, % abans de lema, un bigskip after={\blank[big]}, % després de lema, un bigskip headstyle=bold, % Negreta per la capçaleras %between=\blank, % Entre Lemmes una línia en blanc titledistance=.5em, % espai entre número i parèntesis. textdistance=.5em, % espai entre ) i text stopper={.\space}, % Com acaba.

Then for all null-homotopic words $u, v$ in ${\cal P}$, \setupitems[align=right] \startitemize[r][left=(,right=),stopper=] \item $\text{area}(u \cdot w) = \text{area} (w \cdot u)$ \item $\text{area}(wuw^{-1}) = \text{area}(w)$ \item $\text{area}(u \cdot w) \leq \text{area}(u) + \text{area}(w)$ \item $\text{area}(u) = \text{area}(u^{-1})$ \stopitemize \stopmylema but the numbers are left-aligned and they bit the text. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xan. PS: I have a new email address. The old has problems with sending emails.

problem with the removing of glue node in scrp-cjk.lua
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi Hans, In scrp-cjk.lua, the function "process" can eat some glue node between CJK glyphs. But the following glue nodes between CJK glyph and half_width_open/half_width_close glyphs should not be eaten. For example: \starttext 中国 (Chinese) 的未来 \stoptext Its output need stay the same. Therefore I think the function "process" need add some codes for the test of half_width_open/half_width_close glyphs. This is a patch for it. --- /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/scrp-cjk.lua 2010-08-20 01:35:20.000000000 +0800 +++ /home/garfileo/scrp-cjk.lua 2010-08-30 17:08:31.000000000 +0800 @@ -553,7 +553,8 @@ if not pcjk or not ncjk or pcjk == "korean" or ncjk == "korean" or pcjk == "other" or ncjk == "other" - or pcjk == "jamo_final" or ncjk == "jamo_initial" then + or pcjk == "jamo_final" or ncjk == "jamo_initial" + or pcjk == "half_width_close" or ncjk == "half_width_open" then previous = "start" else -- if head ~= first then remove_node(head,first,true) -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

fonts on ubuntu in ~/.fonts directory are not recognised
by Salil Sayed 29 Aug '10

Hi, the command 'mtxrun --script fonts --reload' does not find fonts in /home/me/.fonts directory on ubuntu, or any system fonts for that matter. Consequently the fonts installed there are not used. The output is like below. Best, Salil MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix otf MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix OTF MTXrun | fontnames: 0 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 0 hash entries added, runtime 0.009 seconds MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix ttf MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix TTF MTXrun | fontnames: 0 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 0 hash entries added, runtime 0.000 seconds

diff mp-base.mp plain.mp

Hi! In mp-base.mp dotlabel calls label twice. Once with t_, and once without. Is it intentional? plain.mp from texlive calls label only once with t_.
