MetaPost graphics with TRT direction
by Khaled Hosny 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

MPost graphics inside TRT direction are placed incorrectly overlapping the text on the right, similar to what we had with \pdfximage (see the attached PDF). This seems to be unrelated to images issue since MPost graphics are inserted as \pdfliteral. I'm not sure if this an engine or macro issue, but I'm guessing the later. Changing the \startMPLIBtoPDF so that the \hbox where the graphics is placed is fixed to TLT direction fixes this, but I'm not sure if it is safe to do so.

Tikz and MKIV
by curiouslearn 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I do not have the very latest beta of Context. I am using This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.35.0 (post_contextgarden.tex ConTeXt ver: 2009.03.18 21:58 With this version, I found something that does not work in Tikz when compiled using MKIV, but works when compiled using MKII. Is this a bug in MKIV that will be fixed soon, or is this due to some fundamental incompatibility between MKIV and Tikz that will remain until Tikz package is modified by the Tikz development team. \usemodule[tikz] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \starttext \starttikzpicture \node (S) [rectangle,draw,text width=2in,fill=linen] at (0,0) {The "fill=linen" option works with MKII. But does not work with MKIV. If I replace "fill=linen" with a Tikz option,such as "fill=blue!20", everything works fine with MKIV}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext (the quotes are used just to draw attention. Not entered in the actual code)

Spacing after \cite
by Aditya Mahajan 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi Taco, Normally, while using \cite one does not need to worry about adding an explicit space after the command. So, you can write "\cite[something] says ...." rather than "\cite[something]\ says ...". But something has changed in core ConTeXt which has changed this behaviour. Consider the test file: \usemodule [bib] \setuppublications [alternative=num] \starttext Test~\cite[something] is wrong \stoptext I have two versions of ConTeXt. With ConTeXt 2009.01.18 (which has t-bib version=2008.10.27), I get (notice the space after [] and is) %----------- Test [] is wrong %------------- With ConTeXt 2009.03.09 (which has t-bib version=2008.12.01) I get (notice that there is no space after [] and is) %----------- Test []is wrong %------------- The behaviour is the same whether I use pdftex or luatex. There is no major difference between the two versions of t-bib. The changelog says %D \item Catalan translation of 'References' (10/11/2008) %D \item 'chapter' -> 'chapitre' in bibl-apa-fr (27/11/2008) %D \item Run bibtex via os.execute in mkiv modee (01/12/2008) So I am guessing that the difference is because of something else, but I cannot see any differences. Any suggestions? Aditya

more stretch
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Thank everybody for indispensible help, esp. Wolfgang. I owe yuo a beer :) My project should be completed today, so it is probably one of the last questions. I have set up \setupalign[stretch], after which my document looks far more justified (no ragged right text edge). However, in some difficult situations I still get the problem, as shown on attached shot. Moreover, TeX compains about a lot of overfull hboxes. How to instruct TeX to relax and allow more spacing between words (or more stretching?) Best, Vyatcheslav

updating ConTeXt (MacTeX)
by Robert Blackstone 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Thank you, Mojca and Aditya, for your comments and advice. It will take me, being no virtuoso with Terminal, a while to figure out what exactly I have to do. It is in my script that I will again run into problems and then I will beg you to help me out again. Thank you, Hraban, for suggesting an easy way out: Use ConTeXt-Minimals, but also there I manage to run into problems, mainly with files and scripts that I can see in the finder but that are not found in Terminal, not even from their parent directory.

request for testing linux binaries
by Mojca Miklavec 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hello, I would like to ask someone on any (ancient or not) linux distribution to test if the pdftex binary for linux works OK, just to let me know if I may continue using that machine to compile binaries for minimals. (I did not update luatex, metapost or xetex, so only pdftex binary should be affected.) OS X 10.4 issues will hopefully be resolved soon. (I need a few iterations to figure out which compiler switches are needed to make the binaries work on Tiger. I'll worry about Snow Leopard when first user starts complaining.) Mojca
