Section labels in appendices (appendixlabel=)
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello, I have some problems interpreting the ConTeXt manual. If I want to have the appendices labeled as Appendix A: My first appendix Appendix B: My second appendix ... what is wrong with the following approach? \setupsection [section] [appendixconversion=Character, appendixlabel=appendix] \setuplabeltext [sl] [appendix=Priloga~] \mainlanguage[sl] \starttext \startappendices \section{My first appendix} \stopappendices \stoptext I know that I can use something like \setuplabeltext [sl] [section=Priloga~] and will probably do that at the end (by defining my own header type), I'm just wondering what I'm missing in the approach above. Also, I suspect that conversion to Character doesn't work in MKIV (but I don't need it at the moment). Thanks, Mojca

Arabic OpenType kerning
by Khaled Hosny 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Kerning doesn't seem to work with TRT direction, in the attached axample (using the attached font), enabling kerning with TRT direction inserts positive kern between first kern pair and nothing between the rest (it should be negative kern). With TLT direction kerning seem to be fine. Using \kern primitive seems to work fine too. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

Hello, is it possible to achieve an overlay effect with metapost like in the attached picture (a photo and a pin in the upper left corner)? I could load both images but I can't control the position where the pin is inserted. Is this possible by other means? thank you! Regards Erik

Current beta says it needs luatex 0.42, but really needs 0.43

Hi, I just upgraded to the latest beta, and got an error saying I need luatex 0.42. I have 0.42, but a quick glance at context.mkiv shows that it really wants luatex 0.43 (so the error message is wrong). Gr. Matthijs

Hi, If I put \index{{\sl something}} it appears in the first position of index. How can I solve that putting it alphabetically? Thanks in advance, Xan.

[PATCH] Add begin_of_buffer and end_of_buffer hooks for lua pretty printers
by Matthijs Kooijman 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hi all, while working on a custom pretty printer, I was having the need to keep some state variables for the duration of one buffer, and reset them again for the next buffer. With the current hooks a pretty printer has available, this is not possible, since you never know what the first and last lines are. The attached patch adds two new hooks, begin_of_buffer and end_of_buffer, which will be called when typing a buffer or a file (e.g. \typebuffer or \typefile). They are not called for typing a phrase (e.g. \type). Is this patch acceptable for inclusion? Gr. Matthijs
