Mathdesign
by Andreas Noack Jensen 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi ConTeXters I have just started my migration from LaTeX towards ConTeXt. So first of all thank you for the contributions. Four whole days and a lot of evenings have been invested in my migration project so far but now things also begin to move. But I really miss one thing from LaTeX. Mathdesign with URW Garamond is in my opinion the prettiest solution at all. So far I have managed to import the text font by the guidance from the wiki, but there doesn¹t seem be any implementation/translation of the mathpart. I know that the TeX world font-handling is developing and I have used XeTeX for non-math work for a while. Some of the work, I understand, includes OpenType Math and therefore it might be reactionary to wish for a translation, but has anyone thought about one anyway?

interstrutline spacing
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Dear gang, I am trying to create a grid background based on strut depth, so each line of text lies right in between the top and bottom of the respective strut. I borrowed some code from the wiki, and need help to solve the following [and I'm no metapost guru...]: 1. Line 31, 2nd line of pdf: How can I keep \framed[align={r2l,middle}] and get the interstrutline to still span the textwidth. In other words, every strutline should be of textwidth, regardless of alignment 2. Compare pages 2 and 3: page 2 has extra space at the top, perhaps a skipped line. How can I suppress that so that the first line always starts at the top of the textblock? 3. On page 3: How can I control the continuation of the strutlines past the final textline? What if, eg, I wanted to fill the rest of the page with strutlines? 4. How can I change the width and color of the strutline itself? 5. I use \setuplayout[grid=on], but I'm not sure that guarantees a grid ... \start-\stoplinecorrection seems to give a different result. [\showgrid seems broken so I can't directly compare]. Any tips to guarantee a grid? 6. Is there a way to pass the interstrutline background to \framed [so I don't have to type \start-\stopinterstrutline etc]? This kind of gridded background is very common in eg, the Arabic-script tradition, although it has many pedagogical and other uses as well. A general strutline mechanism might make a good addition to the distribution, or at least a nice module... Any help or tips to improve this background will be greatly appreciated!

Figure referencing problems
by Wolfgang Miurth 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi, I have troubles with referencing images. At first \in does not show a figure number but \at shows the correct page of the figure. In the archives I found a post from Wolfgang Schuster [1] with a sample that worked for him. I tried this, but there is no figure number visible in my document. %========================== \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{circle} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm; \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure [] [fig:ref] {Text} {\useMPgraphic{circle}} \in{figure}[fig:ref] \stoptext %========================== How can I fix that? Further \about{figure}[fig:ref] brings an error "Use of \about doesn't match its definition.". I used the syntax from the manual on page 205. How can I use the caption of a figure in an reference? My last question is how I can remove the color of links to references in a document. I am using MkIV 2009.08.30 12:25. Thanks for your help Wolfgang Murth [1] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/025653.html

Hi Hans, there's a problem with today's beta: at every run I get this error: Attempt to allocate memory failed. fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix otfMTXrun | fatal error, no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted even when I call something like this: mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="times*" MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix otf Attempt to allocate memory failed. zsh: abort mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="times*" This is on OS X intel, if this matters. All best Thomas

titlepage without page number
by Arno Trautmann 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi! I guess this is a faq, but I didn’t find a way to do it … I want to use pagenumbers in the headings, but no pagenumber on the title page. I try it with: \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{header left}][pagenumber][pagenumber][\setups{header right}] \setupfooter[][] \startsetups[header right] \hfill \getmarking[chapter] \stopsetups \startsetups[header left] \getmarking[section] \hfill \stopsetups which gives me the headers I want. (Although I don’t understand why I have to specify the pagenumber two times) But on the titlepage, there is still a number, when I use it with the title module and say: \setuptitle[ page=no, title=…, header=empty, footer=empty ] \startfrontmatter \placetitle \stopfrontmatter I guess, I’m doing somthing wrong, but I cannot figure out what. And btw: Is there a possibility to just print the pagenumber? Hope I made the problem clear, cheers Arno
