natural table splitting bug
by Santy, Michael 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

In our XML->ConTeXt->PDF workflow, we've encountered a few intermittent problems when using split natural tables. I'm not able to post the original documents in which the problems are manifesting, but below is a document that reproduces one of the problems. The first page of the document is full of text, pushing a split natural table with five rows and a header to the top of the second page. However, only the first row appears on the second page, and the rest of the table is continued on the third page. I'm using a stock ConTeXt 9/28 distribution, but this problem can also be reproduced on live.contextgarden.net. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or help me debug this problem? These natural table bugs are the only thing stopping us from deploying our ConTeXt workflow.

Error updating context with ctxtools

Hi, I thought it might be time to update my standalone Context on Windows (08-08-2007). I am using ctxtools --update but I am getting the following error loading : Context Regime Macros (synonyms) ) (C:/Context/isoimage/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/lang-ini.tex loading : Context Language Macros / Initialization (C:/Context/isoimage/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/lang-ini.mkiv !

Numbered subitems
by WN 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi, I want to make a numbered list as follows *Artikel 1. First artikel *1.1. Text for item 1.1. 1.2. Text for item 1.2 *Artikel 2. Second artikel* 2.1. Text for item 2.1 2.2. Text for item 2.2 etc. I am trying to accomplish this with \setupitemgroup and \defineitemgroup as follows, but the second level start also with Artikel and is indented. I looked at the some of the emails relating to numbered subitems but could not find a working example. Thanks for any help Wim % test code \defineitemgroup[mylist][levels=2] \setupitemgroup[mylist][1][atmargin][n,repeat] \setupitemgroup[mylist][1][width=5em,stopper=.,headstyle=bold,left=Artikel ] \setupitemgroup[mylist][2][atmargin][n,repeat] \setupitemgroup[mylist][2][width=2em,stopper=.,left=] \startext \startmylist \head First artikel \startmylist \item Text for item 1.1. \item Text for item 1.1. \stopmylist \head Second artikel \startmylist \item Text for item 2.1 \item Text for item 2.2 \stopmylist \stopmylist \stoptext

24 Oct '07

Hi, I'd like to typeset various symbols (as examples included in normal text lines) from musical notation from the 14th century ("Mensuralnotation"). These symbols can be seen in http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf I just have absolutely no idea e.g. which font these symbols support ... Could someone show me a way? Thanks, Steffen

Fixed floats and header placement
by Wolfgang Schuster 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi, I have a small document with a few figures and all of them should be placed where I write them in the document. ConTeXt has the 'force' for placefloat to get this but the key has also many sideeffects. Take the following example, the second headers appears at page 4 but the rest of the page is empty and the figures continue at page 5. I tried to use another value \fixedfloatmethod but none of them give a prefect result. - \chardef\fixedfloatmethod=0 put the socnd header an page 2 - \chardef\fixedfloatmethod=1 put the second header at the bottom of the first page - \chardef\fixedfloatmethod=2 put the second header at the bottom of page 3 and the figures continue an page 4 - \chardef\fixedfloatmethod=3 is the default with a empty page 4 except the second header \setupfloat[figure][default=force] \starttext \dorecurse{2} {\section{Section} \dorecurse{6}{\placefigure{none}{\framed[width=12cm,height=8cm]{}}}} \stoptext Wolfgang
