End Notes and Minimals
by Bart C. Wise 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

I've tried several things to get end notes working with the Minimals distribution (MkIV). However, nothing seems to work and what worked for MkII does not work now. Is there a new method for getting end notes in MkIV? Thank, Bart

printing tab in lua: print('a\tb') fails
by Mojca Miklavec 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hello, Here's a tiny question. The following command complains about undefined control sequence. \starttext \startluacode print('a\tb') \stopluacode hello \stoptext There is a workaround: print(string.format('a\t%s', 'b')) but I find it weird. Even if the line above gets commented out with two dashes it still complains. I understand approximately why this happens, but is that intended? Should I be using something else than \startluacode in the plethora of different lua triggering commands? Thanks, Mojca

Centering the page

%%% Document %%% % engine=luatex \enableregime [utf-8] \mainlanguage[uk] \language[uk] \setuppapersize [A4] [A4] \showframe %\showlayout %\setuplayout[width=middle] \setupwhitespace [medium] \starttext \input knuth \input zapf \input tufte \stoptext Look at http://filebin.ca/rzjruz/test.pdf or http://filebin.ca/rzjruz, you'll notice a reasonably sized gap on the right hand side, how do I get rid of it? The work around seems to be \setuplayout[width=middle] But this isn't want I want as the width of the text betters slightly bigger, see; http://filebin.ca/ttufjc/test.pdf or http://filebin.ca/ttufjc .

Apa-fr
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 27 Nov '08

Hi all (mostly Taco), Using bibl-apa-fr.tex for bibliography, I encountered a "chapter" on line 111 which should (I think) be changed to "Chapitre" (I did that on a file at home and it works well); my context is TL2008 so if the file has been modified since september I have not seen that yet. cheers, -- Jean

Figures are misplaced with \pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT
by Khaled Hosny 26 Nov '08

Figures are shifted to the right (the left edge is where right edge should) when I set \pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT. See the attached example. -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

columnset running into footer when using \setupheader[state=high]
by Jelle Huisman 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi all, I have a fairly standard setup with the usual code to move the pagenumber to the footer on the first page of the chapter. This works fine, except when I place the text in a columnset, in which case the columnset on page 2 (and all following pages) runs into the footer area. I'm fairly certain that \setupheader[state=high] interferes with way columnset counts the number of lines it can fit into each column, resulting in columns that run into the footer area. This code shows the problem: % columnset running into footer area \definelayout[1][] \setupheader[state=high] \definetext[footerpagenumber][footer][pagenumber] \setuphead[chapter][page=yes,header=high,footer=footerpagenumber,number=no,align=middle] \definecolumnset[columnl][n=2] \showgrid \showframe \starttext \chapter{One} \startcolumnset[column] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopcolumnset \stoptext Looking in the mail archive it looks like this is an old problem (see: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060516.092742.d455b795.en.html ) but I'm wondering about a solution. Any thoughts? Thanks. Jelle

setup/switchtobodyfont question
by Alan STONE 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

The main manual mentions (ch 5 Typography, pg 92): "In most cases, the command \setupbodyfont is only used once: in the styledefinition. Fontswitching is done with \switchtobodyfont. Don't mix these two up because this may lead to some rather strange but legitimate effects." What's recommended when using a product meta-structure (standardmakeup-frontmatter- bodypart-appendices-backmatter) where the bodyfont (and in some cases also the top, header, footer, bottom fonts change) from one to the other ? Declare one (1) setupbodyfont and switchtobodyfont from one meta-structure element to the other or use a dedicated setupbodyfont for each ? -- Best, Alan * TeX engine = LuaTeX * ConTeXt minimal ver: 2008.11.10 21:40 MKIV fmt: 2008.11.25 int: english/english * Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
