MPgraphic with rounded corners
by Duncan Hothersall 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hello all. I have adapted a bit of MP code from Aditya from a mailing list message dated 2006-05-19 (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060519.214124.9174ac0e.en.html) to ensure that when a page break occurs in a textbackground there is a forced vertical space inside the box at the top of the new page. This code works fine for me (although interestingly not in the garden): \setupcolors[state=start] \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:myexample} path p; for i = 1 upto nofmultipars : p := multipars[1] topenlarged 8pt bottomenlarged 8pt; fill p withcolor 0.9white ; draw p withcolor black withpen pencircle scaled \MPvar{linewidth}; endfor; \stopuseMPgraphic \definetextbackground[ExampleBackground] [mp=mpos:par:myexample,location=paragraph,leftoffset=1em,rightoffset=1em,rulethickness=1pt] \starttext \input knuth \endgraf \starttextbackground[ExampleBackground] \dorecurse{13}{\input knuth \endgraf} \stoptextbackground \input knuth \endgraf \stoptext But now I need to make this box have rounded corners, and I am very confused when reading core-pgr.tex because that is a level of MP code I just don't understand. Would somebody please be able to tell me what to change in the above to make the corners of the box rounded (with a radius of 2mm)? Thank you very much! Duncan

Than you for explanation! But, is it possible to activate kerning for MinionPro? And what about the following example? \startbuffer[KernTest] \startlines Tänze, Tanze, Väter, Vater, \stoplines \stopbuffer The kerned „Väter“ can't be right (with MinionPro). Greetings, Andreas

MKIV bug

Hi, Hans Using context=experimental, the following cross references all appear as ?? MKII works fine. \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC v \NC = u + at \NR[eq:v] \NC h \NC = ut + \frac12 gt^2 \NR[eq:h] \stopalign \stopformula Equation (\in[eq:v]) tells the final velocity after time $t$ and equation (\in[eq:h]) tells the distance travelled in time $t$.

t-lettrine - broken?
by Bart C. Wise 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

A while back, there was a thread that was dealing with an Findent problem in the t-lettrine package (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg- context/2005/009097.html). The problem was that the Findent was indenting the dropped-capital then indenting the first line of text. It should only indent from the dropped- capital to the first line of text. Taco provided a fix which works. Version: 2005.02.27 However, the current t-lettrine package in the minmals - beta exhibits the old problem again: Current beta version: 2006.01.27 Can we get the minimals-beta (and subsequent versions) fixed? Thanks, Bart P.S. Much thanks to Taco for providing the t-lettrine package!

[***SPAM***] How to add pdf bookmark without adding it to the content?
by Andrey Riabushenko 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

I have tried many ways \bookmark[section]{Bookmark text} seems to add bookmark twice and it is also appears in the table of contents which is strange. I have prepared a small example that demonstrates the problem \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupinteractionscreen [option=bookmark] \placebookmarks [part,chapter,section,subsection] [part, chapter] \title{Contents} \bookmark[chapter]{Contents} \completecontent \starttext \dorecurse{7}{\input tufte \input knuth} \stoptext I using latest stable ConTeXt minimals on FreeBSD and compile with mkii.

Fourier in ConTeXt (was Fonts readily available in Context)
by Mikael Persson 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi, I am starting a new thread about this: Is there really support for fourier in current ConTeXt? I've not been able to get it working since long time ago. I get utopia text working, but not fourier math. See the previous threads: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070830.154143.005528b8.en.html and http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080928.193441.874bb515.en.html 1) Can anyone explain to me why these fonts are not working at the moment? 2) Is there any plan on fixing this issue? 3) If there is anything I (as a simple user) can do, please tell me. Kindest regards, Mikael

Thank you to both Aditya and Wolfgang; I think I need to get a better grounding in the basic principles of MetaFun before trying to dabble again... Duncan

TreatFirstLine: loss of spaces
by Bart C. Wise 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

The code below changes the first line. However, there are no spaces between words and therefore, the justification is also off. You can even leave the first parameter empty and you get the same results. Am I missing something? \starttext \TreatFirstLine {\sc} {} {} {} The combined color and font effect is also possible, although one must be careful in using macros that accumulate grouping, but the commands used here are pretty save in that respect. \stoptext Thanks, Bart

It's hard to believe that didn't occur to me. A space takes space. Imagine that! mjg
