Hi Hans, great: I now get Greek hyphenation with XeTeX as well! However, there's a problem with mkiv: none of my mkiv-typescripts works with it; I always get this error: This went wrong: ...al/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/luat- tmp.lua:121: attempt to call field 'is_writable' (a nil value) )))). <to be read again> \relax \xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \fontstrategy ...me \fontclass #2#3#4#5\endcsname \tryingfontfalse \fi <inserted text> ...yle \fontalternative \fontsize \fi \iftryingfont \fontstr... \synchronizefont ...strategy \the \fontstrategies \relax \fi \iftryingfont \... <argument> \getvalue {\@style@ \fontstyle } \edef \fontstyle {\fontstyle }\if... ... l.3 \setupbodyfont[MyAGaramond,12pt] It works with vanilla LatinModern, and the same typescripts work with yesterday's beta. All best Thomas

\everymath and ' accent
by morgan.brassel＠free.fr 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi everyone, This topic has already been discussed on the list, but I didn't clearly understand the conclusion, so I'm asking again... It is not clear to me why the following \everymath{\displaystyle} \starttext \startformula \frac{1}{A'} \stopformula $\frac{1}{A'}$ \stoptext fails with ConTeXt (on the ' inside $.$), while \documentclass{minimal} \everymath{\displaystyle} \begin{document} \[ \frac{1}{A'} \] $\frac{1}{A'}$ \end{document} is ok with LaTeX. The use of \everymath is to blame here, but why? Thanks in advance! Morgan

The point about theorems
by morgan.brassel＠free.fr 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi, I need to typeset theorems with ConTeXt, and I would like to get your advice before I begin. I read an interesting post about it on the dev list: Enhancements to core-des for theorems http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070601.055815.50e07e4d.en.html But I was unable to understand the very conclusion of it... Are there some particular commands concerning theorems? or is \setupenumerations the only solution? Best regards, Morgan

Re: [NTG-context] Need of a new global option for indenting?

I already had (German) customers who demanded every paragraph to be indented. That doesn't mean that it makes sense, but one should be able to activate that behaviour rather easily.

Need of a new global option for indenting?
by morgan.brassel＠free.fr 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi, Sorry to bother you with this question again, but I didn't get any definitive answer in the previous discussion: wouldn't it be useful to have a new option in \setupindenting that indents EVERY paragraph? I mean even after floats, formulae, heads, etc. It would be easier than to set every 'indentnext' option to 'yes'. My first thought was that it should be the role of the 'always' option. Is it silly? Best regards, Morgan

header to register
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Ahoi! For a songbook I need a alphabetically sorted TOC. As easy workaround I tried to use an register/index. But I'd like to get my headers into the index without typing \index all the time. But with my following setup I get only garbage numbers instead of my titles: \setuphead[Titel] [style={\hw\tfa}, page=yes, number=no, textcommand=\TitelFrame] \def\TitelFrame#1{\index{#1}% \framed[ width=\textwidth, height=7.5mm, frame=off, align={right,high}, after={}, before={}]% {\switchtobodyfont[12pt]\hw\tfa #1}% } My .tuo file contains lines like: \listentry{Titel}{2}{}{nihil ita ut videtur}{2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--1}{3}% ... \registerpage{index}{,}{1}{\dowritetolist \@@koppeling {}{nihil ita ut videtur}\v!head }}\fi \executeifdefined {\??ko Titel\c! deeptextcommand }\firstofoneargument {nihil ita ut videtur}\endstrut } {2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--1}% The 5th instead of the 4th parameter of \listentry is printed in the index. My fault or a bug? Versions: This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) ConTeXt ver: 2008.01.17 11:52 MKII fmt: 2008.1.17 int: english/ english Greetlings from Lake Constance!

page=yes often ignored
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hello, I often have problems with page breaks in ConTeXt (section titles are often placed at the bottom of the page, but changing anything there might lead to strange side-effects), but perhaps this specific problem is solvable somehow: \setuphead [section] [page=yes] \setuphead [subsection] [page=yes] \starttext \section{a} \input tufte % I would expect a page break here without having to say \page \subsection{b} \input tufte \stoptext Thanks a lot, Mojca

Descriptions and headerwidth, distance and align
by Wolfgang Schuster 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi all, I tried to use descriptions in a module from me and get a few unwanted and wrong results from the settings. In my first example I try to set the headerwidth to 3cm and the distance between the header and the text to 1cm. The result I get from this example is a 2cm wide header and 2cm between the header and the text. I know the real width for the header is the difference between width and distance and 2cm are correct but this is a stupid method, changing this will break many documents but a alternative solution would be to introduce a label headerwidth. The wrong distance between the header and the text is also a result from this method, the description macros reduce the headerwidth by the distance value and introduce a extra value between the headerbox and the text, this give me twice the distance width and is a bug for me. Another missing thing is a key headeralign, a workaround for moment is to misuse the text key but this should be implemented. \definedescription [test] [width=3cm, text=\hfill, % better headalign=flushright distance=1cm] \starttext \showframe \test{One} Text for the first description. \test{Two} Text for the second description. \stoptext My second example deals with the same problem as above (headerwidth is reduced by distance width) but it gives a completely broken output. I let ConTeXt calculate the width for the header and set a distance value of 1cm between the header and text. This works prefect but the text itself is placed in a box with the width "calculated textwidth - distance" and this is not enough room for the text and it is broken into two lines. \definedescription [test] [width=fit, distance=1cm] \starttext \test{First description} Text for the first description. \test{Second description} Text for the second description. \stoptext Greetings, Wolfgang
