Context garden live broken
by Aditya Mahajan 13 Jul '08

Hi Patrick and Mojca, Something is wrong at live.contextgarden.net. A simple, hello world document fails to compile with luatex.

serious trouble with postponefootnotes
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hi, in a huge document (about 450 pages 1200 footnotes) I used postponefootnotes/flushfootnotes. Annoyingly this changed the page break for the entire book not only at the affected pages ... Searching the archive gave me a post by horaciosuarez_at_hotmail.com who had a similar problem in July 2007. Unfortunately he never got an answer. He used it in footnote conflicts with tables, me only in footnote conflicts with text, trying to avoid a bad page break. Now I ask the same: after using postpone/flushfootnotes is there a way to *reset* this again? Steffen

Strange error in using backgrounds with enumerations
by Aditya Mahajan 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hi, I am getting the following error while using backgrounds with enumeration. (Context ver: 2008.07.10 09:58 MKIV, LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.28.0-2008070423) The error depends on the frame occuring at a particular location on the page, so the example is not so minimal. The error is ! Missing = inserted for \ifdim. <to be read again> p \textbackgroundskip ->-4.5255pt p lus -1.13136pt minus -1.13136pt \dodostoptextbackground ...im \textbackgroundskip >\zeropoint \kern \scratch... \stoptextbackground ->\dodostoptextbackground \carryoverpar \egroup \@@stopdescription ...scriptionparameter \c!after \egroup \def \currentdescr... l.352 \stopcorollary ? ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). <to be read again> p <to be read again> p l \textbackgroundskip ->-4.5255pt pl us -1.13136pt minus -1.13136pt \dodostoptextbackground ...im \textbackgroundskip >\zeropoint \kern \scratch... \stoptextbackground ->\dodostoptextbackground \carryoverpar \egroup \@@stopdescription ...scriptionparameter \c!after \egroup \def \currentdescr... l.352 \stopcorollary I do not know if it is an error in my setup, or some bug in context. I cannot check it on garden, since live is broken at the moment. Aditya

LinuxLibertine and math with LuaTeX
by Holzminister 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Hi! With the help of this great mailing-list I managed to type text with the opentype version of LinuxLibertine. But the math font still falls back to Latin Modern (I think). Is there a way to get mathsymbols typed with LinuxLibertine, too? My code so far: % engine=luatex \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [LinLibertine-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [LinLibertine-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [LinLibertine-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [LinLibertine-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [LinLibertine-Caps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Regular] [name:Linux Libertine O] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Bold] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Italic] [name:Linux Libertine O Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-BoldItalic] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Caps] [name:Linux Libertine O Capitals] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [linuxlibertine] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [rm] [serif] [linuxlibertine] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[linuxlibertine] \setupbodyfont[linuxlibertine] \starttext Normal text. \startformula \alpha + \beta = 10 \stopformula \stoptext Regards, Eyke

hyphenatedurl (WHY?)
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, God bless the command \hyphenatedurl{...} ! Only, I am wondering why it starts a new line not *after* but *before* the slash, dot or whatever there is to structure a long url. Is this an english/dutch convention, completely different than paragraph wrapping? Or is it common usus, just me never noticed it outside ConTeXt?? Steffen

listings.sty
by Peter Münster 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hello, I suggested to the author of the very feature rich LaTeX-Listings package, Carsten Heinz, to port this package to ConTeXt, and it seems, that he is interested. But before doing it, there are some questions: * What do Hans and other people thing about that? * listings.sty uses keyval.sty, how is the proper ConTeXt-way to do the same things as keyval, or should listings stay with keyval? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

foldername instead of jobname
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hi, marking=on often uses \jobname. My file's name is not as important as its respective folder name. Is it possible to read and reuse this folder's name? Thanks, Steffen
