Hi, Just a curious idea: is there anything from connecting mongodb (or any other nosql database) and ConTexT? I'm thinking in load the data from the database into the ConTeXt document, and in save some information from ConTeXt document to database (for example paragraphs or cells in tables). Technically I think it's possible. Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: Please, CCme.

\framedtext vs. \framed in columns
by Andreas Harder 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi all, pleas have a look at the following example \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startcolumns \input tufte \par \input tufte \par \startframedtext[width=broad] % ,location=high \input tufte \par \stopframedtext \stopcolumns \page \startcolumns \input tufte \par \input tufte \par \framed[align=normal,width=broad]{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumns \stoptext shouldn't location=high be the default behaviour? Greeting Andreas

lbrack?
by Hans van der Meer 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

This program: \setupbodyfont[lmodern] \starttext \type{$\lbrace$} <$\lbrace$>\crlf \type{$\lbrack$} <$\lbrack$>\crlf \stoptext This does typeset a left brace but chokes on \lbrack. I took my copy of the TeX Book and find \brack as one of the defined delimiters in chapter 17. How come?

luatex pdf.immediateobj("streamfile" error on Mac OS X Intel 64

The latest minimals under Mac OS X 10.5.8 running on PPC (luatex beta-0.52.0-2010031913, Mach-o executable ppc) have no such problem. Please, test it on your system. Does it work for you? Is something broken in my setup or we are to complain to developers/builders/investigate luatex workings ourselves? Sincerely, Michail PS. If I uncomment pdf.immediateobj("stream", and comment pdf.immediateobj("streamfile", things do work. PPS. The code above is a minimal test case, I am really revisiting 3D annotations.

\hyphenation problems
by Tom 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

When I wrap text around the right side of a figure, the justification along the right margin is a bit ragged in a couple of places. One problem is that it can't hyphenate cfbdatawarehouse.com, even when I provide the hyphenation via a \hyphenation command. The malhyphenation error seems to be caused by the embedded dot. Another line ends with last letter of the last word on the line (head) extending into the margin. That word cannot be hyphenated. How does on get the justification to work correctly in such cases?

Missing math symbols (MK-IV)
by gummybears 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, In a previous email I commented that the integral symbols, when using the unicode font Cambria or Asana, don't look ok. It has to do with the way e.g \iint, \iiint etc are constructed. Whether or not the symbol is present in the unicode font, the tex macro \repeatintegral is used (fallback option). I don't want to use the Cambria or Asana font entirely, as the other math typesetting doesn't look nice. Just for the missing symbols. Found an earlier post (Thomas A. Schmitz titled symbols in luatex date 2008-01-02) where a solution was presented by Wolfgang Schuster. Basically I am using his solution and came up with the following (only works ok in text mode). Also looked at definemathcharacter but not sure how to make it work with unicode fonts (could not find any documentation, looked at the source files, but don't know what to fill in for the 6 parameters to definemathcharacter) Question : what is the right way I can make this work (definemathcharacter, something else) ? Question : some of these symbols are defined in char-def.lua but missing in math-vfu.lua. What is needed to make them active ? Can I do it myself and send a list of missing symbols with their unicode value ?

contextgarden.net is running again
by Patrick Gundlach 22 Mar '10

Hi, Hans van der Meer reported a broken minimals update. This was due to changes in the nameserver handling. Now the move to the new domain hoster is complete and everything should be back to normal. Thanks for your patience, Patrick
