chapter page on right.
by John Culleton 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

I have set up the \chapter command thus; \setuphead[chapter][page=right,style={\nimbua},header=high] ....where nimbua is a font. The chapter head appears on a recto (odd numbered) page as expected but the verso blank page inserted where necessary before the chapter head has a running header. It should be blank. I can kludge this up with a wrapper macro containing \ifodd\pageno etc. but it seems there should be a more Contextish way to handle it. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

Adobe ArnoPro in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi all, I'm trying to use the Adobe ArnoPro font (just testing if it will work with ConTeXt). The font does work with ConTeXt/XeTeX, but not in mkiv. When I try to compile my test file with mkiv, I get this error message (which isn't very helpful to me): (/home/tas/texmf/tex/context/type-arnopro.tex (/home/tas/texmf/tex/ context/type-arnopro.mkiv)))) MtxRun | return code: ? ...live/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:572: attempt to compare number with nil I'm using the latest beta and luatex 0.28.0 Can anybody explain what's going wrong here? Thanks Thomas

Letter backaddress
by Oliver Buerschaper 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Dear Wolfgang, I'm struggling with the backaddress option … I tried the following code --- \usemodule[letter] \starttext \setupletter [fromname={Arthur Thor}, fromaddress={Hidden Street 2\\57895 Mysterytown}, backaddress={Arthur Thor, Hidden Street 2, 57895 Mysterytown}] \setupletter [toname={Mike Willson}, toaddress={Lindenstreet 12\\78569 TeX City}] \startletter [subject={Step by step guide to writing a letter}, opening={Dear Reader,}, closing={Greetings from the Author}] \input knuth \stopletter \stoptext --- but couldn't see the backaddress line in the output. What do I have to change? Best wishes, Oliver

Running heads peculiarity
by John Culleton 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

If I want the book title to appear on even pages and the chapter name on odd pages I hve to set up the pertinent command backwards as follows: \setupheadertexts[text] [chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][Book Title] This is the wrong sequence per the manual on page 79. Has this been fixed or will this be fixed? -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

Letter: address field
by Oliver Buerschaper 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Dear Wolfgang, is it possible to centre the text block in the address field vertically? At the moment the address is typeset with a constant vertical offset (measured from the top) which causes lengthy address data to look slightly off balance … Thanks, Oliver
