ConTeXt wiki page

Dear fellow gangsters, I did a bit of rewriting this morning on the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConTeXt If anyone can change the example code/figure to something that does not look like such a cliche TeX/LaTeX document, that would be a nice addition. Maybe using TeX-gyre fonts and some cool feature other than/in addition to the usual maths... There is a famous German politician who has joined the Developer(s), so ConTeXt has political support for the moment...

columns and footnotes
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hallo, I use: ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKII fmt: 2009.11.24 int: english/english and I have many problems with columns and footnotes. Is there a possibility to set footnotes in two columns too? I tried \setupfootnotes[location=columns] but I can not see any difference to \setupfootnotes[location=lastcolumn] In the moment I use \setupfootnotes[location=page] and it is often the case that footnotes are printed one page to early. It is sometimes the case that the columns and the footnote area overlapp. What can I do to avoid these problems? Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] One interline space setup trouble

Hello Wolfgang > \definestartstop > [example] > [before={\blank[small]}, > after={\blank[small]}, > style=\tfx, > commands={\setupinterlinespace[big]}] Thank you, Wolfgang, but the 'commands' tag seems to not have no effect at all. Even when explicit value provided. \setupinterlinespace[line=18pt] \definestartstop [example] [before={\blank[small]}, after={\blank[small]}, style=\tfx, commands={\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]}] \starttext Most models we discussing here are specification of dynamic behaviour of SUI. This behaviour is described in terms of the interactions over time among some entities. The entities in question fall into two broad categories: {\em endogenous} (intrinsic to the SUI itself) and {\em exogenous} (belonging to a system's environment). \startexample All processes that take place inside Earth (and other planets) are considered endogenous. These processes make the continents migrate, push the mountains up, trigger earthquakes and volcanism, and are driven by the warmth that is produced in the core of Earth. Exogenous processes are all taking place at the outside of the Earth. Weathering, erosion, transportation and sedimentation are the main exogenous processes.\stopexample Constants and parameters serve as names for the values that do not change during a simulation run. In the case of a {\em constant}, the assigned value remains invariant over all experiments. Often it is a physical constant, like $g$ -- force of gravity. In the case of a {\em parameter}, there normally is an intent to explore the effect upon behaviour of a range of different values for the parameter. \stoptext Regards, Vyatcheslav

\textat (@)
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hello, I know that people would usually use \type{email(a)address.com}, but I must be missing something. Is there really no \textat (under some other name) defined anywhere in ConTeXt? The following definition in ec (and probably some other encodings) as well as in char-def.lua \definecharacter textat 64 might be handy. Mojca

Two interline space setup troubles
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hello, I have some troubles with interline space setup. 1) I want whole document to have medium interline space. When I put \setupinterlinespace[medium] in the preample (before \starttext), it has no effect at all. I want keep all style definitions in a separate environment module, so how to make this setting 'global'? 2) The inbetween key does not work in the following command: \definestartstop[example][style={\tfx}, before={\blank[small]}, after={\blank[small]}, inbetween={\setupinterlinespace[big]}] I can write before={\blank[small]\setupinterlinespace[big]}, after={\setupinterlinespace[medium]\blank[small]} but in this way I hard-code document interlinespace (i.e., medium) in this definition, and this is not elegant solution at all. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Labelling with textext
by Troy Henderson 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

I'm trying to typeset a numerical label (in math mode) and have space for a - sign (but not actually typeset the -) after the number in the case where the number itself is negative. I am trying this label.bot(textext("$" & decimal(x) & "\hphantom{-}$"),(x*u,ay*u)); which fails. If I remove the \hphantom command, i.e., label.bot(textext("$" & decimal(x) & "$"),(x*u,ay*u)); the command is successful, but the number being labeled is not exactly horizontally centered below the point in question since the - symbol preceding the number pushes it a little to the right. Thoughts on how to achieve my desired \hphantom effect? Thanks, -- Troy Henderson Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University of Mobile http://www.tlhiv.org

tracking feature requests and bugs
by Peter Münster 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Dear ConTeXt developers, Does it make sense, to add the recent feature requests to the tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org/ ? It would be nice for ConTeXt users like me, to see the status of requests, perhaps also target dates, and to get automatic notifications when the status changes. But this is only possible, if you actually use the tracker. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

windows users: please don't update context yet

Dear windows users, I'm in a hurry now (Carnival), but I have a tiny request: please don't update windows minimals until further notice (tonight in the evening, I suppose) since some libraries are missing. Mojca
