single spaced list items within a double spaced document
by Andrew D. Crouse 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

To whom it may concern, I need to have multiline entries in lists (e.g., Tables of Contents, Lists of Figures etc.) that are single spaced within a document that is double spaced. I have tried using \setupinterlinespacing commands as arguments to the attributes textstyle or textcommand of \setuplist. This does not work, probably for obvious reasons. So, I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this problem, or knows of a simple solution. Thank you in advance. Andrew

ConTeXt textext fails
by Hans van der Meer 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

I did the update to ConTeXt 2006-01-18 but almost regret that decision as an old problem seems to surface again. Typesetting a file that has not failed me with an august2006 version now crashes. Relevant data from the processing log (using TeXShop): systems : begin file syllabus-s-mpgraph-temp at line 42 .... ! Undefined control sequence. l.53 \tts 66\%\CCC :4:126% So what is going on here? File syllabus-s-mpgraph-temp shows at the offending site: \starttext ..... \startMPXpage \tts 66\%\CCC:4:126% \stopMPXpage And this code must have been come from a metapost source: \startuseMPgraphic{taalengels}{width,height,gap} .... label.ulft(textext("\tts 66\%~"), (bs + 27 * u, baseline + 660 * bt + dotsize/2)); Aha, I conclude, trouble with the %-sign! But I think I have seen that error before, originating in one of the Ruby-scripts if I remember well. Having to do with the file parsing and failing on %'s or something like that. Hans Hagen had it fixed then with a patch on a ruby script. Why is this problem now cropping up again? Can this be fixed? Thanks in advance for the trouble this causes. Hans van der Meer

float next to \bf
by Jörg Hagmann 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

Dear list members, I noticed the following problem: text doesn't float around an image, when the paragraph starts with {\bf or \em etc} instead of unchanged font. (The text is placed on top of the image). A minimal example: \placefigure[inner]{A figure}{\framed[width=5cm,height=5cm]{Image}} {\bf This will mess up the rest.} \input tufte I don't know whether it's only my version of context, because in "context live@contextgarden" I get: (return code : 25 run time : 0 seconds total run time : 0 seconds warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead but no pdf (I get this with anything, has nothing to do with this particular problem).

startframedtext changed?
by Hans van der Meer 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

Earlier this could be used to put some text centered on the line: \startframedtext[middle][frame=off,background=] \type{ABCDE}\crlf \type{ABCDE} \stopframedtext Now, the "middle" doesn't seem to have any effect, the contents is put to the left side of the printing area. Has there been a change in behaviour of \startframedtext or has a bug crept in? Hans van der Meer

stopping texexec
by Hans van der Meer 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

I have a fairly hefty tex run, with many intervening metapost figures being made. Running "texmfstart texexec main-file" from a unix shell. When an error occurs, e.g. in the metapost processing, one gives an X to quit that part of tex-processing. However the process goes on and on, because of the many successive invocations. Control-C does not help. Is there a way to stop the texexec processing from running? (other than opening another shell, finding the pid of the main process and killing that). Hans van der Meer

How to create a standard text block
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

Hello everybody, Could someone tell me what is the best way to create a standard text block that would consist of a line frames around the text and include some lettering? Such a text block is a State standard in Russia and Ukraine and I want to design it good and possibly include in the Wiki, since many people require it. So I feel right to ask you gurus first how to begin. Please note that this block is of two kinds -- bigger one for first page of a document (but sometimes of a section), and smaller one for remaining pages. -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav

Serried itemized list with long items.
by John R. Culleton 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

I used \setupitemize[serried] for a numbered list. The items were each wider than the text block so they wrapped around to a second line. As a result Context left a blank line between items. I got 1. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ...which is not what I wanted :<( John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Can't create more than about 240 footnotes
by Mike Bird 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

I run out of space around the 240th footnote in a document. It appears that ConTeXt may be reloading or redefining a footnote font for each footnote or footnote number. Is this a known problem with a known solution? Thanks, --Mike Bird references : unknown reference [][fnt:t:240] references : unknown reference [][fnt:f:240] references : unknown reference [][fnt:t:241] references : unknown reference [][fnt:f:241] !
