Hi, before exhibiting AquaMints symbol set support (recently mentined here by Jonh C. as free font from www.galapagosdesign.com) can some native english sea wolf check the symbol names in http://typokvitek.com/tmp/aquamints.pdf Especially I not sure with appropriateness of fattree, seaegg, and geoarrow.

showsymbolset
by Vit Zyka 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Hello, I have done symbol definition file for AquaMints font. When I want to prepare overall symbol table I noticed problem in \showsymbolset definition (no table, no symbol is shown). It tests \doifsymbolsetelse{#1}. It is defined \def\doifsymbolsetelse #1{\doifdefinedelse{\??ss*#1}} but greping ss* gives me no place where \??ss*#1 is defined (perhaps should be in \startsymbolset?). Minimal example: \starttext \showsymbolset[astronomic] \symbol[astronomic][Moon] \stoptext Thanks, vit -- ======================================================= Ing.

line break
by Jörg Hagmann 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Hullo all, Maybe somebody can help me with this: I have a paragraph and an image in the outer margin, sticking slightly into the text area. On the opposite side, in the inner margin, I have two letters. What happens is that after the \inothermargin command I get a line break (not a new paragraph, but a line break). When I remove the image, the line break disappears. This is the code: \placevignette{}{\externalfigure[di_B12_marg][width=4cm]} Die Resorption des {\em wasserlˆslichen} Vitamins B\low{12} (= Cobalamin, s. Formel) f‰llt aus dem Rahmen: B\low{12} wird nur als Komplex mit dem \quotation{Intrinsic Factor}, einem Glycoprotein aus den Belegzellen des Magens, {\em im Ileum} aufgenommen (Intrinsic, weil der Faktor aus dem Kˆrper stammt -- dazu passend bezeichnet man B\low{12} auch als \quotation{Extrinsic Factor}).\inothermargin{\ssd Pa} Vitamin B\low{12} wird von Bakterien synthetisiert und stammt ausschliesslich aus tierischer Nahrung; Veganer/innen, die nicht nur auf Fleisch, sondern auch auf Eier und Milchprodukte verzichten, besitzen einen entsprechend niedrigen Vorrat des Vitamins. H‰ufigste Ursache f¸r die {\em perniziˆse An‰mie}, die klassische B\low{12}-Mangelkrankheit, ist allerdings nicht eine Fehlern‰hrung, sondern eine verminderte Resorption im Ileum, entweder weil dessen Schleimhaut entz¸ndet ist (Sprue), oder weil eine erkrankte Magenschleimhaut zuwenig Intrinsic Factor produziert. I call this type of figures vignette and defined it as follows: \definefloat[vignette][figure] \setupfloat[vignette][leftmargindistance=- \outermargintotal,rightmargindistance=- \outermargintotal,default={outer,none,low}] \setupcaption[vignette][number=no] Thanks for your help, Jörg

bug / feature portal
by Hans Hagen 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Hi, in addition to the wiki there is now a portal for tracking bugs and feature requests http://context.literatesolutions.com/ this is *not* a replacement for the wiki, which is and will be the primary place for on-line user support etc etc. Although the portal is mainly meant for those involved in the development and therefore is moderated, it is open for anyone who wants to contribute in bug reports and feature requests. It's still somewhat experimental and we're trying to figure out the best way to deal with things like bugs (without too much overhead for the developers). In due time there will also be some additional resources for the purpose of history.

Making texshow easier to edit
by Nikolai Weibull 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

The following things would make editing the texshow wiki a lot easier to edit: * Preview displays of changes * Easy cross-referencing between commands * Not putting everything inside <pre>...</pre> tags When making changes, having a preview display makes it easier to decide on what works and what doesn't before "commiting". I added documentation to the \quote command and thought that having links to \setupquote and \setuplanguage would be helpful. I had to create <a href>-type tags for this with long-winded query-strings. It would be much easier to have some automatic cross-referencing going on (a la WikiWords perhaps, but using \ as a signal?). When everything is put inside <pre>...</pre> tags, line-breaks become significant, which makes it very hard to tell where to break a line. It would be much better if the browser could decide this for itself. Anyway, I think that texshow is a great utility and hopefully more commands will be described and commented upon. For me to continue doing this, I'd probably have to have the above features available before I did so, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

[BUG] unic-032.tex 0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS definition wrong
by Nikolai Weibull 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

\textellipsis usually expands to \cdots and that's fine, but \textellipsis shouldn't be used in unic-032.tex for 0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS, as this codepoint is for a symbol of dots on the base-line, not in the center. I've posted about this previously, but got no response. Anyway, I've attached a patch that fixes the problem. I don't know if using \dots instead is the best solution, though, so further discussion may be necessary?, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

Enumeration numbering broken
by David Antos 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hello, in the following example, I'm pretty sure that it should produce Lemmas and Theorems numbered continuously (i.e., one common counter for both of them) and moreover, the numbers should (due to bychapter) be preceded by chapter number. In ConTeXt 2005.06.27, the enumerations are counted separately and chapter number prefix is missing. Interestingly, if Lemma and Theorem blocks are swapped, they become really Theorem 1 and Lemma 2. The chapter number is still missing. Has the mechanism been changed or am I doing anything wrong? *** \defineenumeration [Theorem] [text=Theorem~, way=bychapter, inbetween=\noindent] \defineenumeration [Lemma] [Theorem] [text=Lemma~] \starttext \chapter{chapter} \startLemma This should be Lemma 1.1 \stopLemma \startTheorem This should be Theorem 1.2 \stopTheorem \stoptext *** Thanks, D.A. -- Many rewrites, a hard-drive crash, a laptop being stolen, a couple of corrupted filesystems and one broken screen later, here it is. -- Rusty Russel: Linux 2.4 Packet Filtering HOWTO

Not possible to redefine inbetween in \definedescription
by Radhelorn 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hello All! I think that I've found a bug in descriptions. It seems that it is impossible to redefine inbetween option -- it always produces a \blank. Try this: \definedescription[desc][before=before,after=after,inbetween=inbetween,location=top] \desc{test} test I've fixed it this way: --- core-des.tex.orig 2005-06-14 06:56:00.000000000 +0400 +++ core-des.tex 2005-07-14 15:26:20.000000000 +0400 @@ -372,7 +372,8 @@ \c!indenting,\c!indentnext,\c!align,\c!text,\c!distance,\c!command]% \getparameters[\??dd#1] [\s!do\c!state=\v!stop,\s!do\c!command=\normal@@descriptionhandler,\c!level=,#2]% - \doifvalue{\??dd#1\c!location}\v!top{\doassign[\??dd#1][\c!inbetween=\blank]}% + \doifvalue{\??dd#1\c!location}\v!top{% + \doifnotvalue{\??dd#1\c!inbetween}{\doassign[\??dd#1][\c!inbetween=\blank]}}% \setvalue {#1}{\dodoubleempty\@@description[#1]}% \setvalue{\e!start#1}{\dodoubleempty\@@startdescription[#1]}% \setvalue{\e!stop #1}{\@@stopdescription{#1}}}% And when using commands with brackets in argumets like: \definedescription[desc][before=\blank[small]] ConTeXt will give many errors, so arguments needs to be grouped (before={\blank[small]}). Is this intentional? Thanks for your time. -- Radhelorn <radhelorn(a)mail.ru>
