framedtext white above
by Hans van der Meer 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

In framedtext I see some whitespace just below the topframe and the first row of text. At the bottom this is not the case, the textbottom and framebottom are close together. Here is a minimal example, the whitespace is just above the first row of b's How can I get rid of the white on the top? \starttext \startframedtext[depthcorrection=off,offset=0pt,strut=no]% bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb\crlf bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb \stopframedtext \stoptext depthcorrection does the trick for the bottom. I see no further changes when I add "linecorrection=off" too (not sure what it does). yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

Sections with additional dot: a little request
by Mojca Miklavec 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Hello Hans, The sections in Slovenian have to be numbered wih dots at the end: 1. Introduction 2. Contents 2.1. Subsection 2.1.1. Subsubsection 2.1.2. Subsubsection 2.2. Subsection 2.3. Subsection 3. Bibliography rather than 1 Introduction 2 Contents 2.1 Subsection 2.1.1 Subsubsection 2.1.2 Subsubsection 2.2 Subsection 2.3 Subsection 3 Bibliography There are many commands in ConTeXt which support "delimiter" key, but here the delimiter already stands for the dot delimiting subsequent numbers in this case. There's a possible solution listed on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Dotted_number_in_caption, ie: \def\Dot#1{#1.} \setuphead[section][numbercommand=\Dot] \setuplist[section][numbercommand=\Dot] \setuplist[subsection][numbercommand=\Dot] \setuplist[subsubsection][numbercommand=\Dot] but this cannot be built into "languagespecifics" as such since it interferes with user-defined "numbercommands" (if the user defines his own numbercommand, the dot would disapear). This is low-priority (can be circumvented and done properly if needed), but I would be very glad if an additional keyword & its setting could make its way into "languagespecifics" once in the future if possible. LaTeX people did that (not aplicable to ConTeXt at all): \renewcommand\thepart {\@Roman\c@part} \renewcommand\thesection {\@arabic\c@section.} \renewcommand\thesubsection {\thesection\@arabic\c@subsection} \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\thesubsection.\@arabic\c@subsubsection} \renewcommand\theparagraph {\thesubsubsection.\@arabic\c@paragraph} \renewcommand\thesubparagraph {\theparagraph.\@arabic\c@subparagraph} \renewcommand\appendix{\par \setcounter{section}{0}% \setcounter{subsection}{0}% \renewcommand\thesection{\@Alph\c@section.}} Also, Part 1 may be written as "1. poglavje" (with dot) or "Poglavje 1" (without dot), so there has to remain an option to remove a dot only for a certain title if necessary. The only online reference I know (list of mistakes in babel) is written in Slovenian http://nl.ijs.si/gnusl/tex/tslovene/slolang/node98.html-l2#SECTION000203140… but I guess that the content can at least partially be evident from the TeX sources. Once again the same comment as the last time with itemizing. If this will ever be implemented and added, it will change the behaviour (and break the old behaviour in a way), but I guess that there are not so many people typesetting Slovenian in ConTeXt yet. There will be less harm if a few old documents are fixed than if tons of other newer documents are typeset wrong. Thanks a lot, Mojca

interaction between boldmath and text-mode
by Peter Münster 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

Hello, strange interaction between \boldmath and \textmu: %% To get upshaped \textmu: \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern] %% Defining boldmath: \definetypeface[boldmath][mm][boldmath][modern] %% To get bold everywhere: \def\myBF{\boldmath\rm\bf} \starttext {\myBF bla $bla$ \textmu} % \textmu is slanted here Workaround: {{\myBF bla $bla$} \bf\textmu} \stoptext No a big problem, since there is a workaround, but strange for me... Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

How to \bf for math?
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

Hello, What exactly is the ConTeXt alternative to LaTeX's \mathbf (switch to bold or bold italic math fonts)? (Btw: is it better to use bold or bold italic for typesetting vectors? We use "overrightharpoonup", so I don't know what an international standard says.) I understand the main commands for switching the font in text (rm, tt, ss for family and tf, sl, it, bf, bs, bi, sc + an optional x/xx/a/b/c/d), but I didn't understand yet what to use for math. ~~~ As an intermezzo: is there any way to ger small caps slanted? \sc will do the small caps, but \sl switches to normal slanted font (no small caps) again. I suppose that the current model (set of current font definitions) doesn't account for the possibility of using small caps slanted or small caps bold (slanted). Is there any elegant way to do that, for example by defining new commands such as \scbf, \scit, \scbi [+ xx/x/a/b/c/d]? (I can still use other tricks to get those fonts, but some general scheme for using them could be useful for others as well.) ~~~ I tried to use the examples described in mfonts.pdf, but I can't get those examples working. (I probably used too few definitions when more definitions are required at once to make the examples work.) I also tried the command from one of Adam's articles, \def\mfunction#1{{\em#1}}, to get italic euler math font, but without success. I managed to use "bold math" as a whole (on the example of iwona which has different weights of math fonts): \starttypescript [math] [iwona-heavy] [default] \definefontsynonym [Iwona-Math-Letters-Heavy] [rm-iwonah] \definefontsynonym [Iwona-Math-Letters-HeavyItalic] [mi-iwonahi] \definefontsynonym [Iwona-Math-Symbols-Heavy] [sy-iwonahz] \definefontsynonym [Iwona-Math-Extension-Heavy] [ex-iwonah] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [iwona-heavy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [Iwona-Math-Letters-Heavy] \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [Iwona-Math-Letters-HeavyItalic] \definefontsynonym [MathSymbol] [Iwona-Math-Symbols-Heavy] \definefontsynonym [MathExtension] [Iwona-Math-Extension-Heavy] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [iwona] [mm] [math] [iwona-heavy] [default] But I can't get ant further than that, so that I could switch between "thin" and "bold". I tried \starttypescript [boldmath] [iwona-heavy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRomanBold] [Iwona-Math-Letters-Heavy] ... \starttypescript %[boldmath] [iwona-heavy] [default] \definebodyfont [boldmath] [mm] [(bf)mr=MathRomanBold mo 1, ...] ... and different settings in starttypescript/definebody font ... but no success at all. I would like to create some definitions, so that I could easily say (write a command) "I want the light version for regular math and the regular font for bold math" or "I want the regular version for regular and the heavy version for bold math". Thanks a lot for help, Mojca

fields (widgets) in PDF layer
by Peter Rolf 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hi all! I've searched for an answer some time ago http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20051230.132510.4dba9fed.en.html Meanwhile I've solved the problem and the solution is quite simple. Only some minor changes are needed, to bound the state of fields to the state of their surrounding PDF layer. I attached a 'small' example file and two diff files for patching. So what is this good for? For example think about multilayered control fields (stack), which appear in the form of a tabular box (one tab active at a time). Every tab can contain any kind of interactive field. No more mouse interaction (and ugly gfx glitches) with hidden fields, if the surrounding PDF layer is switched off. To Hans: - Dunno if the name \currentPDFlayer is o.k., or if there is a better place for it's (re)initialisation. - The fields are still active (only hidden), if the outer layer is deactivated (nested). Is the outer layer not part of the child layers OCMG? Reading the PDF reference manual is much harder than reading your sources... So it's up to you, if and how this is added. Greetings, Peter

alignment
by Hans van der Meer 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

There is something I do not understand with alignment. My idea was to put a small text in the middle of the line. The minimal example below does center he first but not the second alignment. Is this intentionale or an unforseen interaction between alignment and framed? \starttext \startalignment[middle] middle? yes! \stopalignment \startalignment[middle] \framed{middle? no!} \stopalignment \stoptext yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

math tests - subformula ref's and symbols \oiint \oiiint like in Latex AMS
by Wim Neimeijer 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Hi, I am using Context for the second time now and I am investigating the pro's and con's before migrating my Latex documents to Context. So far I am really impressed with Context capabilities. Now I am testing some of the math I typeset with Latex to determine whether or not to use Context. In Latex I am using the ams math packages and knowing that there is a amsl module for Context I did some test such as \def\wdiv{{\rm div} \:} \def\rot{{\rm rot} \:} \placeformula[eqn1] \startformula \eqalignno{ \wdiv \vec{E} & = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_{0}} &\formulanumber{.a} \cr \rot \vec{B} & = \mu_{0} \:\vec{j} &\subformulanumber{.b} \cr \wdiv \vec{B} & = 0 &\subformulanumber{.c} \cr \rot \vec{E} + \frac{\partial \vec{B} }{\partial t} & = 0 & \subformulanumber{.d} \cr} \stopformula How can I refer to these subformulas in my running text ? As I am typesetting a lot of math in my physics doc's I use a lot of integration symbols amongs others. In Latex I use \oint, \oiint and \oiint, even a quadruple int to indicate space - time integrals. Even I defined a tex command for the surface integral. I also found the Context \showmathcharacters which gave me most of the math symbols from the amsl module. However I did not found alternatives for \oiint, \oiiint unfortenately. I discovered the \definemathsymbol in several context tex files, I was wondering if it is possible to setup my own \oiint, \oiiint, \oiiiint ... symbols ? If yes, my problem is I can't find any docu's on the usage of \definemathsymbol ? Any help appreciated Kind regards W.Neimeijer

by andrea valle 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Dear all, using \placefigure I obtain in output the caption with "Figure x. etc" I'm currently writing in Italian, so I need to have "Figura" in place of "Figure". What have I to do? Thanks a lot -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea andrea.valle(a)unito.it
