small new feature on the wiki
by Patrick Gundlach 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hi there, since there might be some users here who edit pages on the wiki and who don't read the 'recent changes' page: you can now say <context source="yes" text="produces"> \your \TeX \code=here </context> this will typeset the source with the <texcode>....</texcode> highlighter/formatter, then output the (optional) text 'produces', and finally renders the already known graphical representation of the source. This way you only have to enter the code once (less errors). Special thanks to Jano Kula for this. Example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Right_and_left Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

align question
by David Arnold 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

On another matter, I'm having some alignment issues. Consider the following code: \starttext \startformula \startalign[n=4,{left, middle, middle, middle}] aaa&b&cccc&d\\ a&bbb&c&ddd \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext Compile this and you will notice that the alignment parameters {left, middle, middle, middle} are ignored. And you can change these to anything else (left, middle, right), with absolutely no change. Any idea what is going on here?

Losing Chapter Number
by David Arnold 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hans et al, Why do we lose the chapter number in headers (and other places) with this: \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \def\headermarkleft{\bold{\pagenumber}\headerskip{\sc\headerskip Chapter \headnumber[chapter]\headerskip\getmarking[chapter][current]}} \def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]\headerskip \getmarking[section][current]}\headerskip\bold{\pagenumber}} \def\headerskip{\hskip 1em} \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout [backspace=120pt, cutspace=80pt, topspace=50pt, bottomspace=50pt, leftmargin=65pt, rightmargin=50pt, width=middle, header=40pt, footer=40pt, height=middle] \setupheadertexts [] [\headermarkright] [\headermarkleft] [] \setuppagenumbering [state=start, alternative=doublesided, location=, way=bytext] \setupheadnumber[chapter][-1] \starttext \chapter[chap:0]{Preliminaries} \input tufte \section{One} \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte\par} \section{Two} \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte\par} \stoptext

sometxt vs textext behaving different
by Hans van der Meer 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Metapost problem: It seems that sometxt and textext behave different. This is my macro: % Label with text and centerposition vardef theLabel@#(expr labeltext, pos) = save pic; picture pic; if picture labeltext: pic := labeltext; else: if labeltext = "": pic := nullpicture; else: % prevent wobbling of text boxes with uneven depth % TEXTEXT line: pic := textext("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); % since ConTeXt 14-7-2006 textext => sometxt % SOMETXT line: %pic := sometxt("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); fi fi % calculate labelshift from suffix save shift; pair shift; shift = ((penX/2 + labeloffset) * xpart laboff@#, (penY/2 + labeloffset) * ypart laboff@#) - (labxf@# * lrcorner pic + labyf@# * ulcorner pic + (1 - labxf@# - labyf@#) * llcorner pic); % deliver picture shifted in position pic shifted (pos + shift) enddef; With textext enabled it just works as I intend. With sometxt enabled I get: >> unknown picture pic >> sometxt ! Equation cannot be performed (unknown picture=numeric). <to be read again> ( theLabel->...":pic:=nullpicture;else:pic:=sometxt( "\setbox0=\hbox{"& (EXPR3)&... l.211 Label("TEXTEXT", (w/2,h/2)) withcolor red; Thus while textext delivers a picture sometxt does not. This seems strange, because I understood that sometxt was meant as a dropin replacement for textext (except for MP loops, as Hans Hagen mentioned in a previous email). Is this correct or do I have to make more changes to switch over from textext to sometxt? Hans van der Meer

formula block with align and pagebreak
by Tobias Burnus 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hello, I have often longer equations of the type \startformula\startalign A = b c B = c d E = g h \intertext{Some intermediate text} F = h j G = k l \stopformula\stopalign I would like to keep the alignment (per page), however I also would like to have automatic page breaks inbetween. I can split it manually into two \startformula\startalign ... \stopformula\stopalign blocks, but this I would have to adapt any time I change something, which changes the text length, before that block. Any idea? Additional question: Does anyone know why in the example the "Gauss' law" starts not at the top of the page but roughly two line further down? Tobias PS: I attached an example.

New bib module release (2006.07.13)
by Taco Hoekwater 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hi all, After a fairly long list of betas, I have just uploaded a new release of the bibliographic module to contextgarden.net This release fixes three bugs that were still in beta 5: * removed two incorrect spaces from bibl-num.tex * reset the interaction "style" within \type{\cite}, so that font switches from \type{\setupcite} stay in effect * a guard is added against loading bbl files multiple times It should be included automatically in the next context release. Happy TeXing, Taco

Context 2006.07.13 released
by Taco Hoekwater 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip The current release has version 2006.07.13 A very short list of changes is given below. As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes New features since 2006.05.11: * The use of \sometxt in MetaPost figures (instead of \textext) can remove the need for indirect "texexec" runs, resulting in a massive speed improvement for heavy documents. * Table splitting is reimplemented and improved * Initial support for the new TeXGyre font families * A new release of the bib module, with better support for interaction and per-chapter bibliographies * Some small extensions to \framed * The database module now supports ASCII (non-TeX) files with CSV quoting * \setupformulae accepts a conversion parameter now * More built in math support (matrices etc.) * A prerelease of the "koeieletters" font * A new module for R integration * Itemizations can be randomized (for multiple-choice courseware) * Support for typesetting OpenMath (via MathML) Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

Why doesn't this inherit?
by David Arnold 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hans et all, We don't understand, why we have to uncomment the commented line in the code below to make section numbers go away? Why doesn't the enumeration inherit? \usemodule[colors] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[lavender][r=0.25,b=0.75,t=0.095,a=1] \defineframedtext[MyBox] \definemeasure[BoxWidth][\textwidth] \defineblank[BoxBlank][1em plus 1em minus 1em] \setupframedtexts [MyBox] [width=\measure{BoxWidth}, before={\blank[BoxBlank]}, after={\blank[BoxBlank]}, background=color, frame=no, location=middle] \definenumber[CommonCtr][way=bysection,sectionnumber=no] \definenumber[FigCtr][way=bysection,sectionnumber=no] \setupframedtexts [MyBox] [width=\measure{BoxWidth}, before={\blank[BoxBlank]}, after={\blank[BoxBlank]}, background=color, frame=no, location=middle] \setuplabeltext[remark=Remark] \setuplabeltext[theorem=Theorem] \defineenumeration [remark,theorem] [location=serried, width=broad, headstyle=bold, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank, way=bysection, sectionnumber=no, number=yes] \defineenumeration [remark] [text=\labeltext{remark}] \defineenumeration [theorem] [text=\labeltext{theorem}, % sectionnumber=no, before={\startMyBox[backgroundcolor=lavender]}, after=\stopMyBox] \setupnumber[remark][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[theorem][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[formula][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[figure][number=FigCtr] \starttext \chapter[chap:one]{Chapter One} \input knuth \section[sec:one]{Section One} \startremark This is a remark \stopremark \startremark This is a remark \stopremark \starttheorem This is a theorem. \stoptheorem \placeformula[eq:one] \startformula f(x)=x^2 \stopformula \startremark This is a remark \stopremark \starttheorem This is a theorem. \stoptheorem \stoptext

PDF bookmarks problem
by Richard Gabriel 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hello Hans, I've noticed a problem with PDF bookmarks when the particular chapter/section titles contain non-ascii characters and/or XML entities. I suppose some "expansion" mechanism should be added (like for the index entries)... Attached you'll find two test files demonstrating this problem. Thanks, Richard
