ucgreek=normal as default
by Mikael Persson 21 May '10

21 May '10

Dear list and Hans, I recently realized that by default capital greek letters are italic. I believe that the default should be "normal", i.e. upright. %%% Test file %\setupmathematics[ucgreek=normal] % comment out to get nice upright greek captial letters :) \starttext $\Theta$ \stoptext %%% End test file What do others think? Best regards, Mikael

feauture request - no numbers on blank pages at chapter's end
by Piotr Kopszak 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hello list, I don't know if it is only an idiosyncrasy of Polish typography but if a chapter ends with a blank page it should not display its number. It would be very useful if this could be an option (if not a default behaviour) of \setuppagenumbering . It's not a huge problem and I think I will not wait for a solution before sending my next book for printing, but it would be nice if it appeared in the future. Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Hi all, what is wrong with the following example? I would expect "Erstes Kapitel" etc. instead of "Kapitel Eins" in the bookmarks. Further "Inhaltsverzeichnis" don‘t appear in the bookmarks. \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[all] \starttext \starttitle[title=Inhaltsverzeichnis,bookmark=Inhaltsverzeichnis] \placecombinedlist[content] \stoptitle \startchapter[title=Kapitel Eins,bookmark=Erstes Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Kapitel Zwei,bookmark=Zweites Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Kapitel Drei,bookmark=Drittes Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext Thanks in advance Andreas

Lua and metapost
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi all, Since ConTeXt has LuaTeX and it contains Lua interpreter so I wonder if it is possible to write Lua code which can generate Metapost code for graphics. MetaLua can also help here. However, I do not know how to develop a Lua library which can be integrated with ConTeXt but then again I have not looked in this matter. As you people may be knowing Prof. John Hobby has written a Haskell frontend for Metapost which generates Metapost code. Having a Lua version of same will help a lot. My only concern is using MetaLua with ConTeXt. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

How to place a (right) brace in a TABLE?
by Vladimir Lomov 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi. (Sorry for unclear question in topic.) I want to put a brace (right or left isn't matter now) in a TABLE (may be another table environment) like in below scheme a11 a12| a13 a21 a22| a23 a31 a32 a33 a41 a42 a43 a51 a52| a53 a61 a62| a63 Here '|' marks place and elements which should be grouped by a brace. Thanks in advance, Vladimir Lomov. P.S. I'm new in context and don't have any idea how to achieve this. I thought about graphics (metapost) to draw a brace or join two cells and draw big brace. And, yes I use mkiv and latest beta (context minimal). -- Show your affection, which will probably meet with pleasant response.

\ldots
by Jan Pohanka 20 May '10

Hello, I discovered that with one font the \ldots command typesets three colons (:::). I found these lines in plain.tex \mathchardef\ldotp="613A % ldot as a punctuation mark \def\ldots{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} saying the \ldots uses character on position 3A. In the font (type 1), there is really the semicolon on this position. How to make context to use proper character (\period), which is on position 2E in the font without changing this file? Or is it possible to use a special glyph for horizontal ellipsis with \ldots command? (It exists in the font) best regads Jan -- Ing.
