\framed
by Wolfgang Schuster 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi Hans, there was a while ago a suggestion to make \framed a horizontal command by adding \dontleavehmode, it is clear this is not a good idea to make this the default behavior but can't you add a option mode=horizontal|vertical where 'mode=vertical' is the normal \framed behaviour and 'mode=horizontal' goes perform \dontleavehmode to go into horizontal mode. It would be also useful to have a 'direction' key where the setup \framed[direction=RTT]{...} behaves like \starttext \vbox dir RTT{\hsize\textheight\dorecurse{200}{a b c d e f }} \stoptext Wolfgang

page[no] not working?
by Matthijs Kooijman 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hi all, I've come to understand taht using the \page[no] command should prevent a pagebreak at that particular spot whenever possible. However, this seems to be not working for me. My actual problem is with a \startframed directly after a description "header", but the problem is easily reproduced with the below example (for MkII, replace the 25cm with 20cm). The \dontleavehmod was needed to make the \blank work... \starttext \dontleavehmode \blank[25cm] A \page[no] \startframedtext H \stopframedtext \stoptext This example generates the "A" at the bottom of the first page, with the boxed H on the next page, putting a page break exactly where the page[no] is. Is it broken, or am I missing an important detail about how page[no] works? I've also tried \defineblankmethod [nobreak] {\nobreak} \blank[nobreak,line] and some variations as suggested by Wolfgang (IIRC) in some thread from 2008, but that failed with "missing number, treated as zero" for me.

Strange behavior with \framed or \inframed inside \startalignment [middle] \stopalignment. Alan Minimal example: \starttext \startalignment [middle] \inframed {This {\bf should} be aligned and centered} along with the following. \stopalignment \blank \startalignment [middle] Here, \inframed {the entire line} is centered. \stopalignment \blank \startalignment [middle] This is centered.\crlf \inframed {This is now centered.}\crlf This is centered. \stopalignment \stoptext

Hello, the printing shop wants me to make the columnsetarea bleeding[1] (3mm). However, the background stops at the edge of the a4paper and doesn't even fill the margin. Here's a minimal example: % \startminimalexample \setuppapersize[A4][A3] \setuplayout[backspace=2cm,width=middle, offset=0mm, topspace=0cm,height=middle, location=middle, marking=on, grid=yes, ] \setupcolors[state=start] \startuniqueMPgraphic{contrast} fill OverlayBox withcolor white ; fill OverlayBox withcolor transparent(1,.25,red) ; fill OverlayBox withcolor transparent(1,.25,yellow) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[contrast][\useMPgraphic{contrast}] \showframe \starttext \definecolumnset[mycolumnset][n=2] \definecolumnsetarea [einschub][left] [x=1,y=1,nx=4,ny=20,page=2, background=contrast,align={hi,right},state=start] \startcolumnset[mycolumnset] \dorecurse{15}{\input tufte\par} \stopcolumnset \page \showsetups \stoptext % \stopminimalexample Thanks in advance, olli Footnotes: [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_(printing) -- Oliver Heins heins(a)sopos.org http://oliverheins.net/ http://blog.overheins.net/ F27A BA8C 1CFB B905 65A8 http://scriptorium-adp.de/ 2544 0F07 B675 9A00 D827 1024D/9A00D827 2004-09-24 -- gpg --recv-keys 0x9A00D827 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html

Selectively not using a font feature
by Matthijs Kooijman 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi all, I'm currently using old-style numerals in my document using the onum otf font feature: \definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes] This gives very nice results, except for the cases where a 0 appears by itself in the text. In these cases, it appears just like an o instead of a 0. I'd like to explicitly turn off old style numerals for those cases, but I'm unsure how. Any suggestions? Gr. Matthijs For completeness, this is all of my font setup code: % Script taken from the "typescripts" pacakage at http://modules.contextgarden.net/typescripts \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Regular] [name:Linux Libertine O] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Italic] [name:Linux Libertine O Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Bold] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-BoldItalic] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinuxLibertine-Caps] [name:Linux Libertine O Capitals] [features=default] \stoptypescript % Script taken from the "typescripts" pacakage at \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [LinuxLibertine-Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [LinuxLibertine-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [LinuxLibertine-Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [LinuxLibertine-BoldItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [LinuxLibertine-Caps] [features=default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[linuxlibertine] % Use old numbers when available \definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes] % Define a custom typescript.

bib module, mkiv, and <section>

Dear Taco and gang, MTXrun | current version: 2009.12.01 14:54 ==================== \usemodule[bib] \starttext In this connection, it is worthy to note that, according to Ibn Daud's {\em Kitābu ãl-Maṣāḥif} \cite[jeffery1937], Ḥamzaḧ states that he carefully copied his own copy directly from the copy sent to Kufa by ʿUṯmān himself. % \subject{References} \startpublication[k=jeffery1937, t=book, a=Jeffery, y=1937, s=] \author[]{Arthur}[]{}{Jeffery} \title{Materials for the History of the Text of the Qurʾãn} \pubyear{{1937}} \pubname{} \city{Leiden} \notes{AMS photocopy edition, 1975} \stoppublication \tfx\setupinterlinespace\placepublications \stoptext ==================== If i uncomment \subject{References} the bibliography disappears. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
