thinrules
by Hans van der Meer 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

\thinrules disappear when then are the lone item and I can make them appear only by typeing somthing behind/before. However, I would to force a thin rule anyway, even if there is no surrounding text. How? Hans van der Meer

MetaPost Animation
by Troy Henderson 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

I am trying to create an animation in ConTeXt + MetaPost. In particular, I would like to have ConTeXt + MetaPost generate each individual frame of the animation, and then I would like to place each of these graphics on the page in succession. I am looking for a "ConTeXt way" without placing the MetaPost code in a separate source file, running MetaPost, and using \externalfigure. The following MetaPost sample code generate 21 graphics images (numbered .0 to .20), but I have no idea how to have ConTeXt generate these graphics without a manual external MetaPost run and have them included in a way that is consistent with \startuseMPgraphic or similar. Thanks in advance, Troy Henderson path p,q; p:=fullcircle scaled 72; L:=length p; N:=20; for n=0 upto N: beginfig(n); q:=subpath (0,n/N*L) of p; draw q withcolor red; fill fullcircle scaled 3 shifted point length q of q withcolor blue; setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare shifted (-0.5,-0.5) scaled 75; endfig; endfor; end -- Troy Henderson Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University of Mobile http://www.tlhiv.org

\hyphenation ignored
by Marco 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Hi, I've a problem with the command \hyphenation. It does not seem to work for me. See following MWE: \mainlanguage [de] \starttext \hyphenation{Index-eintrag} \hyphenatedword{Indexeintrag} % Gives Inde-xein-trag \stoptext In this example the word »Indexeintrag« is mishyphenated. I expect to see »Index-eintrag« as output of \hyphenatedword. The \hyphenation command seems to be ignored. Thanks in advance. Marco

I find some strange things happening with a few entities in the processing of xml. Or am I mistaken, of course. But enlightment would be appreciated. < produces < but > produces < too, mirabile dictu (> correctly produces >) & makes the rest of the contents of the xml-node disappear, & does this too Thus there seems to be an issue with > and with & and & Hans van der Meer ConTeXt ver: 2010.04.12 23:47 MKIV fmt: 2010.4.13 int: english/ english

So it's probably not an intel- only thing. The .firstsetup script crashes. It worked fine through at least March 23, for what it's worth.

Let me put it this way: \starttext text1\footnote{1footnote} \stoptext This will produce four instances of the numeral '1'. Suppose I want them all to look exactly alike. In other words, suppose I didn't want either footnote mark to be rescaled or elevated at all. How could I do that?

\nocap does not work
by Marco 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hi, I wanted to wikify the command »\nocap« and tried it out. But it does seen to have any effect, see the example from the manual: \starttext \cap {People that have gathered their \cap {capital} at the cost of other people are not seldom \nocap {decapitated} in revolutionary times.} \stoptext The word »decapitated« ist also capitalized.

Re: [NTG-context] grid in footnotes, was: Re: footnote marks fail
by Michael Saunders 14 Apr '10

> i was not even aware that \newcommand was there ... probably more a catch for bibtex issues I have been using it a lot since, although Context seems to use a lot of brackets, it won't allow nested ones. For example, I have to use: \newcommand{\hfstyle}{\switchtobodyfont[15pt]} \setupheader[style=\hfstyle] because I'll get an error from: \setupheader[style=\switchtobodyfont[15pt]] Is there an easier way? > > \setupnote[footnote][location=columns,numbercommand=\fnmstyle,textcommand=\fntstyle,textstyle=\addff{su},align={normal,hanging},split=verystrict,interaction=yes] > > > > I don't know quite why it works, but it works---except for one little > > thing---there is a little vertical space between each footnote > (apparently because of the \switchtobodyfont[12pt]). > > > that will indeed define the interlinespace; also, the regular \high > command does some snapping while with the supp feature you're dependent > on what the fonts delivers as ht/dp of a glyph I don't see how could you possibly use \high{} for the footnote marks (\setupnote[footnote][?]). Besides, as I understand it, \high{} just rescales the body font---which always looks bad. So, I don't want to use \high{}. I use my numr feature which gives me exactly the right shape and height, but I have a little space between the footnotes. How do I eliminate the space? Maybe by setting a verytolerant grid for the footnotes? I don't know how.

grid in footnotes, was: Re: footnote marks fail
by Michael Saunders 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Peter M?nster wrote: > \setupfootnotes[numbercommand=, textcommand=, style=, textstyle=, > bodyfont=] Thanks, Peter. With some experimentation I got what I wanted. For the record, I'm using: \definefontfeature[su][body][sups=yes,ordn=yes]%superior \definefontfeature[nu][body][numr=yes]%numerator \definefontfeature[po][body][pnum=yes,onum=yes]%proportional old style \newcommand{\fnmstyle}{\addff{nu}\switchtobodyfont[12pt]} \newcommand{\fntstyle}{\addff{po}} \setupnote[footnote][location=columns,numbercommand=\fnmstyle,textcommand=\fntstyle,textstyle=\addff{su},align={normal,hanging},split=verystrict,interaction=yes] I don't know quite why it works, but it works---except for one little thing---there is a little vertical space between each footnote (apparently because of the \switchtobodyfont[12pt]). So I have one more question: is there a way to force the footnotes onto their own grid to prevent this? I am already using \setuplayout[...,grid=verytolerant], which I thought would take care of it.
