hyphenation of urls in french docs
by Taco Hoekwater 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Hi (mostly for Hans), Is there a clean way to get around this problem: \useencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \hyphenatedurl{http://somewhere.to/go} \stoptext It gives: ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \discretionarytoken because of the active : , but I am not sure what is the best fix.

Common counter for enumerations, way=bysection
by David Arnold 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

All, 2 questions: (1) why don't my chapter numbers turn off, and (2), why doesn't the counter start over in the new section? \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \def\N{{\Bbb N}} \def\W{{\Bbb W}} \def\Z{{\Bbb Z}} \def\Q{{\Bbb Q}} \def\R{{\Bbb R}} \defineenumeration [definition] [location=serried, width=broad, distance=1em, headstyle=bold, text=Definition, stopper=., right=., style=slanted, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank after=\blank, way=bysection, chapternumber=no, number=yes] \defineenumeration [example] [location=serried, width=broad, distance=1em, headstyle=bold, text=Example, stopper=., right=., style=slanted, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank after=\blank, way=bysection, chapternumber=no, number=yes] \defineenumeration [theorem] [location=serried, width=broad, distance=1em, headstyle=bold, text=Theorem, stopper=., right=., style=slanted, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank after=\blank, way=bysection, chapternumber=no, number=yes] \defineenumeration [property] [location=serried, width=broad, distance=1em, headstyle=bold, text=Property, stopper=., right=., style=slanted, inbetween=\blank, before=\blank after=\blank, way=bysection, chapternumber=no, number=yes] \definenumber[CommonCtr] \setupnumber[example][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[theorem][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[property][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[definition][number=CommonCtr] \setupnumber[formula] [number=CommonCtr] \setuphead [subsection] [number=no] \starttext \chapter[sec:first]{First} \section[section:numbers]{Number Systems} \input tufte \startdefinition Now is the time \stopdefinition \startdefinition Now is the time \stopdefinition \placeformula[eq:1] \startformula f(x)=x^3 \stopformula \starttheorem[thm:one] A fine time. \stoptheorem \placeformula[eq:1] \startformula f(x)=x^3 \stopformula \startexample[exmpl:one] fine example \stopexample \startproperty A list. \stopproperty \section[section:two]{Section Two} \input tufte \startdefinition Now is the time \stopdefinition \stoptext

Footnotes and spacing.
by Elliot Clifton 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Hi, I'm having trouble with footnotes. How can I add space between each note? I've tried using \setupfootnotes[after=\blank], but it doesn't work? I'm not sure how one can control the spacing between blocks of text anyway, as I'm still a ConTeXt newbie. :-) Elliot

texgyre - first release
by Hans Hagen 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

Hi, At http://www.gust.org.pl/e-foundry/tex-gyre/ you can fetch the first release of the texgyre collection. This font project aims at merging the existing free fonts (now spread over original, quasi and vn collections). The first stage is a mere merge and as with latin modern, the authors will converge to a stable consistent set of fonts. So ... go ahead and become a tester. Integration in context is rather easy. (1) fetch the two zips (base and hh) from the website mentioned (2) put the atteched file in your context/base path (3) run mktexlsr After that, the following should work: \starttext \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \showfont[Serif] \stoptext so, the magic is in the small typescript file: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] this will overload existing definitions. The nice thing is that this project will make many font problems (mostly related to missing files) go away because the names fit context, and the amount of files is reduced enormously (only 4 type 1 files, no virtual fonts, etc) All popular encodings are supported The pagella (based on palladio) also has cyrilic, but we need to figure out a way to integrate this (should be easy) Vietnamese users: please check if things work ok, these fonts contain work done by Han The Thanh and the fonts will eventually replace his variants Polish and neighbouring users: these fonts will replace the quasi variants. Keep in mind that this is the first version. The shapes will be improved over time. Even more: all fonts eventually will have math companions as well as (in open type) features. This project is substantially funded by the tex user groups (cstug, dante, gust, ntg, tugindia, tug). We hope to involve more user groups in the next stage (math, extensions, etc) so feel free to contact us. On behalf of ythe user groups the project is coordinated by Jerzy while the dev team is lead by Jacko. The next few years more fonts will be released. At the next bachotek [eurotex organized by pl/cs] there will be the first formal releases + presentations about them, so better be there ...

Disappearing chapter numbers
by David Arnold 12 Jul '06

12 Jul '06

All, We are wondering why we don't get a chapter number in our header in what follows. However, if we change \setupheadnumber[chapter][-1] \setupheadnumber[chapter][0], we do get a chapter number in the running head. \setupheadnumber[chapter][0] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \def\headerskip{\hskip 1em} \def\headermarkleft{% \bold{\pagenumber} {\sc\headerskip Chapter \headnumber[chapter]\headerskip\getmarking [chapter][current]}} \def\headermarkright{% {\sc\headnumber[section]\headerskip\getmarking[section][current] \headerskip} \bold{\pagenumber}} \setupheadertexts [\headermarkleft] [] [] [\headermarkright] \setuppagenumbering [state=start, alternative=doublesided, location=, way=bytext] \chapter[chap:0]{Preliminaries} \input knuth \section{Intro to Whales} \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \section{Intro to Penguins} \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End:

Hello, I'm quite sure, that this had worked some months ago, even in dvi/ps mode: \usesymbols[eur] \starttext \texteuro \stoptext But now, I get nothing at the place of the euro-symbol. What could have been changed in the meantime? TIA for any hint! Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

How ConTeXt manages section's label at the bottom of a page ?
by Renaud AUBIN 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Hi all, Considering this piece of code: \section{A title of section} Here we have some texts.... resulting to the following theoretical situation before correction: at the bottom of the page 1: A title of section at the top of the page 2: Here we have some texts.... Is ConTeXt smart enough to apply this kind of correction during processing: page 1: whatever before \section call page 2: A title of section Here we have some texts.... Apparently, Taco told me on #context that this is the case... But in fact, I have this kind on problem with a \subsubsection call. If it is implemented, can we fine-tune the behaviour of the correction. For example, Considering a section label followed by only two lines of text, can we push this label+text to the newt page ? Cheers, Renaud

Chapter/section text inmargin
by Jason Knight 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

I'm attempting to do some formatting similar to Bringhurst's Elements of Typographic Style and am getting a bit stymied, where section titles are in the margin right next to the text. Here's what I've got so far in ConTeXt (and it gets me close): \setupheads[sectionnumber=no] \setuphead[chapter][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\tfa,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace] \setuphead[section][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\tfa,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace] \setuphead[subsection][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\scx,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace] This places the chapter/section/subsection titles in the margin alright, but it is still above the text it refers to. How do I get it alongside? Thanks for your help! Jason Knight -- Jason Knight Systems-Analyst-at-large "They fix 'em, I break 'em. Thus, analysis."
