Page background color. Does not cover the entire page.
by Curiouslearn 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi, I created the attached PDF file using ConTeXt. As you can see I have a green background, which covers the whole page. However, when I took it to the printer today and he printed two copies for me, there was some white space left at four ends. The amount of space above, below, to the left and to the right was different. Here is my preamble. Can you suggest what I can do so that the whole page has the chosen green background color. Thanks very much. \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[backspace=1.5in,width=6in,margin=1in,topspace=0.25in,header=0.75in,height=11in] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \usetypescriptfile[type-dejavu] \usetypescript[dejavu] \switchtobodyfont[dejavu,12pt] \setupheadertexts[\it \hskip -0.75in Institute][\it Department ] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=green*:2] \setupframed[background=color, backgroundcolor=cornsilk, frameoffset=2pt, backgroundoffset=2pt, corner=round, align=middle] \usemodule[tikz]

Natural tables with \placetable
by Design Department 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Can anyone tell me why this table example is placed on the left margin on the first page and the right margin on subsequent pages? My intention is to place against the right margin on all pages. \starttext \placetable[right, 4*line, split] {none} {\bTABLE[split=repeat,option=stretch, textwidth=3in] \bTABLEhead[rulethickness=1pt] \bTR \bTH[align={middle}] head \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{6}{ \bTR \bTD {\input knuth \par} \eTD \eTR } \eTABLEbody \bTABLEfoot \bTR \bTH footer \eTH \eTR \eTABLEfoot \eTABLE} \stoptext -- david

\setuparranging in mkiv
by Otared Kavian 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi Hans, Your yesterday's beta impressed me once more with the speed at which you fix the reported bugs… Thanks so much! Today I noticed something wrong with \setuparranging in mkiv, which may be due to the fact that the pagenumbering mechanisms have changed and I don't know yet the new structures: if this is the case please disregard this "bug" report. Here is a minimal example: \setuppapersize [A7][A4] \setuparranging [2*2*4,doublesided] \setuplayout [location=middle,marking=on] \setupheadertexts[Arranging pages] \starttext \startbuffer[TestPage] \strut \blank \midaligned{Is this a bug in mkiv?} \vfill \midaligned{This is page \recurselevel} \vfill \stopbuffer \showframe \dorecurse{16}{\getbuffer[TestPage]\page} \stoptext Using mkiv (ConTeXt ver: 2009.04.16 22:27 MKIV fmt: 2009.4.17 int: english/english) I get an error message: ! Undefined control sequence. \setuparranging ...gpages \abortutilitygeneration \fi \fi l.4 \setuparranging [2*2*4,doublesided] The above example works fine with mkii and the latest ConTeXt. Best regards: OK

Demostrations ala AMS
by Xan 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi, I like to have the same environments in ConTeXt like in amsthm LaTeX. With defineenumeration I did emulate thm and others, but now I trying to have something like demostration. My code is: % AMSTHM \defineenumeration [exercici] [text={Problema},headstyle=bold,between=\blank,titledistance=0em,textdistance=1em, stopper={.\space},location=serried,left={\bgroup\bf},right={\egroup},width=fit, before={\bgroup\startframedtext[background=screen,frame=off,width=broad]}, after={\stopframedtext\egroup}] \defineenumeration [lemma] [text={Lema},headstyle=bold,between=\blank,titledistance=0em,textdistance=1em, stopper={.\space},location=serried,left={\bgroup\bf},right={\egroup},width=fit,style=italic] \definedescription[demo][location=serried,text={Demostración.},headstyle=bold, indentnext=yes,between=\blank,before={\bgroup},after={$\Box$\egroup}] The **problem** is how to put qed symbol (for example $\Box$ in my case) at the end of demo. I try with after but it's not works: \Box appears in the next line at the begginning. Can someone help me? Thanks, Xan.

problems with bibliography
by Nicolas Luchier 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Bonjour, I am using the bib and bibltx modules to manage the bibliography of my articles. All was fine up to just recently where no more reference seems to be made any more in my current writing (half the article is OK). The \cite command return empty brackets [] (even when I wrote the wrong reference, there usually always had a number) and no new line is created in the \placepublications[criterium=all] command (or \completepublications for that matter). Things seem to be done properly though. I am running ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 Would anybody have a clue on what is going on? Thanks, Nicolas Luchier

Files for verbatim output of Python source, zc.buildout and Apache config files
by Drazen Baic 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hello, I'm using MKIV and needed syntax highlighting for a few source and config files. I read on the Wiki and on this list that it should be pretty easy to do this in Lua and although I never wrote anything in Lua I just tried it. Maybe the result will be of use for somebody so I'm posting them to this list. I read on the Wiki that the best place for putting custom formatter files would be the context distribution or http://modules.contextgarden.net but as I'm pretty sure that some stuff is missing and I'm sure there are some bugs included I'm just posting them here. Would it be OK to put the files in a section on the Wiki to start something like a repository for verb-*.lua files where it would be easy to extend and correct them? I have created verb-*.lua files for pretty printing Python source code Apache http.conf and zc.buildout config files. For the zc.buildout files I used a simple solution and just defined the keywords that appear in a standard Plone buildout.cfg file. I hope to finish two additional verbatim files for XML and Shell scripts in the next days. As I don't have any experience in writing Lua code I chose to use the tex/context/base/verb-*.lua and the verb-cpp.lua files posted by Shen Chen in http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20081002.173802.460c46fe.en.html) for a start. Additionally I used the vim syntax files and the official Apache documentation. Here is an overview of what is covered: The verb-apa.lua file distinguishes between the following five states: - declarations - strings - sections (like <Directory> and </Directory>) - comments - options The verb-py.lua file distinguishes between the following five states: - all statements, repeats, conditionals and operators - strings (multi line comment wit ''' or """ are supported) - preconditions (import, from, as) - comments - builtins The verb-py.cfg file distinguishes between the following four states: - sections - variables - keywords - comments I've attached a minimal test file to show how they work. Just put everything in one directory and execute texexec --lua test.tex Regards, Drazen

Is there any solution around? Thanks in advance Thomas

problems with TeX Gyre/t2a/sc
by Mojca Miklavec 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hello Hans, there's a tiny problem with the following line(s) in type-one (if we neglect the fact that Cyrilic is a bit problematic with Gyre anyway): \starttypescript [serif,sans,mono] [adventor,bonum,bookman,cursor,courier,heros,helvetica,pagella,palatino,schola,schoolbook,termes,times] [ec,texnansi,cs,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Caps] [\typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}r-sc] [encoding=\typescriptthree] There are no t2a fonts with small caps defined, so simple usage like \usetypescript[times][t2a] \setupbodyfont[times] generates arrors. The combinations of small caps & t2* encodings simply don't exist and these combinations should better be removed. Mojca
