Line under footer
by Holzminister 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

Hi there! I managed to draw a line under my footer (with the help of this mailing list, of course ;) ), but how can I change its thickness? This doesn't seem to work: \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][frame=off, bottomframe=on, height=0pt, depth=3pt] Same effect with this one: \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][frame=off, bottomframe=on, height=3pt] Regards, Eyke

Place for exercises and solutions
by batela 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Dear Sirs, I'm writing a chemical book and I want include some exercises in the end of each chapter. In the source file the solutions are placed after the related exercise. In the .pdf file the exercises should be located at end of each chapter, but the solutions should appear in the end of the book. Did anybody has a similar implementation? Thanks a lot Jorge Magalhães Abraços, Jorge Manuel de Almeida Magalhães

grouped sections and footnotes
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi Hans, I am using a module -- non-distributed as far as I know -- created by Wolfgang. It provides grouped sectioning and footnotes: ====startstop-t.tex====== \unprotect \def\????se{@@@@se} \def\definegroupedsection[#1]% {\setvalue{\e!start#1}[##1]% {\getparameters[\????se#1][\c!ref=,\c!title=,##1]% \getvalue{#1}[\getvalue{\????se#1\c!ref}]{\getvalue{\????se#1\c!title}}} \setvalue{\e!stop#1}{\relax}} \def\definegroupednote[#1]% {\edef\currentnote{#1}% \def\dostartcurrentnote[##1][##2]{\setnote[##1][##2]\bgroup\ignorespaces}% \setvalue{\e!start\currentnote}{\dodoubleempty\dostartcurrentnote[#1]}% \setvalue{\e!stop\currentnote}{\removeunwantedspaces\egroup\noteparameter\c!next}} \definegroupedsection[title] \definegroupedsection[chapter] \definegroupedsection[section] \definegroupedsection[subsection] \definegroupedsection[subsubsection] \definegroupednote [footnote] \setupfootnotes[next=\autoinsertnextspace] \protect \starttext \starttitle[title=Title] \stoptitle \startchapter[title=Chapter] \startsection[title=Section] \input knuth Text \startfootnote[nabiyy] A footnote \stopfootnote text \startsubsection[title=Subsection] Text \startfootnote A footnote. See \in{footnote}[nabiyy] \stopfootnote text \startsubsubsection[title=Subsubsection] Text \startfootnote A footnote \stopfootnote text \stopsubsubsection \stopsubsection \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext ========================= Question: a) Have you added support for grouped sectioning and footnotes in mkiv yet? b) Does the above code seem safe for mkiv? c) (For Wolfgang:) Has the above code been updated or extended etc. yet? For long documents this kind of grouping has become indispensable (easy code-folding etc.) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Non-printable Unicode control characters
by Khaled Hosny 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Unicode has many "control characters" that only control text behaviour and shouldn't be rendered visually in the text, such as Bidi_Control and Join_Control chars (see http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.1.0/ucd/PropList.txt and http://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UCD.html) Currently, ConTeXt handles ZWJ and ZWNJ, but other characters get rendered if the font has glyphs for them or make no effect at all if the font has no glyphs for them. I think that the optimum behaviour is to make those characters affect text formatting while not visually rendered whether the font has glyphs for them or not. It might be also useful if we can enable rendering those characters manually, for drafts and such. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

Some Arabic ligatures get rendered twice
by Khaled Hosny 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

Some Arabic ligatures get rendered twice, I think this happens when a ligature can be divided into subligatures, say ABC ligature where the font has an AB ligature, in this case A+B+C get rendered as ABC+AB. See the attached example. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

Enabling character mirroring without enabling "implicit bidi"
by Khaled Hosny 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

Currently, \enablecharactermirroring[1] also enables "implicit bidi", but, unfortunately, current ConTeXt bidi implementation isn't very useful. I know this is work in progress, but I like to be able to have simple character mirroring i.e. \textdir TRT will mirror all brackets as it currently make any text RTL. With the current situation, I'm almost unable to typeset any real Arabic document. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

updating to new release
by Alan Bowen 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

I updated to the latest ConTeXt but now get the following error message when I process my files (using TeXShop as the front end, and TeXLive 2007): ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.04 10:10 MKII fmt: 2008.8.9 int: english/english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! FormatVersion : 2008.08.04 10:10 MKII FilesVersion : 2008.08.09 18:12 The updating process included sudo texhash sudo texexec --make --all so I am puzzled about why the problem occurs. Note: texmfstart ctxtools --contextversion returns CtxTools | context version: 2008.08.09 18:12 (/usr/local/texlive/2007/ texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex) CtxTools | context version: 2008.08.09 18:12 (/usr/local/texlive/2007/ texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex) Reinstalling ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.04 obviates the problem.

Partly OT: some luatex questions
by Ulrike Fischer 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

I'm currently trying if I can use luatex on my miktex installation and together with LaTeX. I have downloaded the executable (Version snapshot-0.29.0-2008071816) from the context-minimals and made a simple texmf.cnf and build some formats (the formats don't contain something luatex specific, they simply load latex.ltx). Things works quite fine, my (pdf)lualatex is running and is finding all the ressources (fonts, styles etc) from my miktex-trees. But I have some problems I don't know how to solve. 1. In the following document there is no space between the a and the y: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \noindent a\\y \bigskip a\par y \end{document} It looks as if the lines have only the depth from their content. 2. I found here some code to use truetype and opentype fonts: http://luatex.bluwiki.com/go/Use_a_TrueType_font But while testing the code I run in two two problems: a) I tested it with a latin modern font and arial and with both fonts all lines of a text are printed one above the other. It looks as if none of the lines have a height and a depth. b) I also tried MnSymbol5.otf and there I get an error "invalid character". (I tried to get an "A"). With xetex the font works fine. I would be quite grateful if someone could tell me how to solve this problems. -- Ulrike Fischer
