margin kerning issues
by Idris Samawi Hamid 10 May '05

10 May '05

Dear gang, In the following example, margin kerning works for \hyphen and \endash, but not for `-' and `--'. I don't think this is an encoding problem, because e.g. \hyphen and `-' generate the same output. Please advise-) Thnx as always Idris =================================================== \setupoutput[pdftex]% \setupfontsynonym[cmr10][handling=normal] \usetypescript[cmr] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \setupalign[hanging] \setuplayout[width=4.2in] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{40}{testing\hyphen\ test\hyphen\ } \blank \dorecurse{40}{testing- test- } \blank \dorecurse{40}{testing\endash\ test\endash\ } \blank \dorecurse{40}{testing-- test-- } \hyphen\ - \endash\ -- \stoptext =================================================== ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Vertical alignment of footnotes in \bTABLE
by Johan Sandblom 09 May '05

09 May '05

The following admittedly contrived example exposes a problem with vertical alignment of footnotes. The problem was first encountered with a multipage table where the footnotes became more far apart instead of on top of each other as here. It appears the problem only occurs if 1. there is a cell with multiple lines 2. there is a cell that spans several columns. Is there a workaround?

Recomputing useMPgraphic in footers
by David Antos 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello, I have \defineoverlay[Wave][\useMPgraphic{Wave}] \startuseMPgraphic{Wave} ... \stopuseMPgraphic \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][background={Wave}] The problem is that the graphics is not re-computed on every page, although I pretty convinced it should. On the opposite, when I set \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background={Wave}] it works perfectly well. (The difference is in [footer] vs. [text].) An ugly workaround is to call \setupbackgrounds on every page, but it's not nice at all. What went wrong?

RE: [NTG-context] alignment issues

Hi Taco, In addition to [flushright] and [flushleft], would it be possible to add support for the options [raggedright] and [raggedleft] (equivalent to the default [right] and [left] respectively)? This would add useful symmetry to the alignment options, and is easy to remember-) Thnx 4 all your help (Otared too!) and Best Idris >===== Original Message From Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> ===== >> \startalignment[right] bla bla bla \stopalignment > >You can use > > \startalignment[flushleft] bla bla bla \stopalignment > >instead ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Indenting after \stopitemize
by Idris Samawi Hamid 09 May '05

09 May '05

Dear knights, Has ConTeXt changed its default for indenting after \stopitemize? Normally ConTeXt suppresses indentation after positive whitespace but this does not work in e.g. ======================= \setupoutput[pdftex]% \setupindenting[medium,next] \setupitemize[each][][before={\blank[big]},after={\blank[big]}] \starttext \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize %\blank[big] \input knuth \stoptext ======================= I think this used to work before... How do I force no indentation after an itemize environment? I'm also unclear about what the indentnext=no is supposed to do. Thnx as always Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Hi Hans Could you send me/post a copy of the modified macro/file (I'm at a mission-critical stage on a project and don't want to install a new beta before it's done unless absolutely necessary->) Also, is there a similar \dontcomplain fix for \start-\stopalignment[left] (underfull hbox)?

INstalling a new version of context
by olibou＠free.fr 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello ! I tried to install a new version of context, since somebody suggest to do it (BTW I do not know how know what version of context I have ... running texexec --version gives me the version of texexec, I presume, not the version of context ... but anyway ... that not my sole problem, as for now). So I used to have a version of context install by default :-) on my mandrake 10.1 distribution of linux ... To upgrade I have downloaded http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip and read also part of http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf It says that I have to unzip cont-tmf.zip in /usr/share/texmf ... which I have done ... And then they say we have to regenerate format .... but I'm not that expert to understand what it means ... What I have done is fmtutil --all But my context distrib does not work anymore ... ;-( Could anybody help me ? I have relink ln -s /usr/share/texmf/context/perltk/texexec.pl /usr/bin/texexec since /usr/bin/texexec was the location where my shell use to find texec ... But I'm probably messing everything doing that. Anyway, I have NOT "regenerate the format" and try to use texexec .. but on a simple "hello world" example stored in hw.tex file : \starttext Hello World ! \stoptext it gives me this output ;-( oli@olinux:~/E/Context # texexec --verbose hw.tex TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002 current path : /home/oli/E/Context locating ini file : found by kpsewhich reading : /usr/share/texmf/context/config/texexec.ini setting : 'TeXShell' to 'tetex' for 'all' setting : 'UsedInterfaces' to 'en nl metafun mptopdf' for 'all' setting : 'UserInterface' to 'en' for 'all' setting : 'TeXExecutable' to 'tex' for 'all' setting : 'MpExecutable' to 'mpost' for 'all' setting : 'MpToTeXExecutable' to 'mpto' for 'all' setting : 'DviToMpExecutable' to 'dvitomp' for 'all' setting : 'DviSpecialScript' to 'dvispec' for 'all' setting : 'MpFormat' to 'metafun' for 'all' setting : 'TeXFormatFlag' to '&' for 'all' setting : 'MpFormatFlag' to '&' for 'all' setting : 'TeXFontsPath' to 'l:/tex/texmf;l:/tex/texmf-local;' for 'all' setting : 'TeXExecutable' to 'pdfetex' for 'tetex' setting : 'TeXVirginFlag' to '-ini' for 'tetex' setting : 'TeXPassString' to '-progname=context' for 'tetex' setting : 'TeXBatchFlag' to '-int=batchmode' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpToTeXExecutable' to 'mpto' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpVirginFlag' to '-ini' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpPassString' to '-progname=mpost' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpBatchFlag' to '-int=batchmode' for 'tetex' used setting : TeXShell = tetex used setting : SetupPath = used setting : UserInterface = en used setting : UsedInterfaces = en nl metafun mptopdf used setting : TeXFontsPath = l:/tex/texmf;l:/tex/texmf-local; used setting : MpExecutable = mpost used setting : MpToTeXExecutable = mpto used setting : DviToMpExecutable = dvitomp used setting : TeXProgramPath = used setting : TeXFormatPath = used setting : ConTeXtPath = used setting : TeXScriptsPath = used setting : TeXExecutable = pdfetex used setting : TeXVirginFlag = -ini used setting : TeXBatchFlag = -int=batchmode used setting : MpBatchFlag = -int=batchmode used setting : TeXPassString = -progname=context used setting : TeXFormatFlag = & used setting : MpFormatFlag = & used setting : MpVirginFlag = -ini used setting : MpPassString = -progname=mpost used setting : MpFormat = metafun used setting : MpFormatPath = used setting : FmtLanguage = used setting : FmtBodyFont = used setting : FmtResponse = used setting : TcXPath = used setting : SetFile = applications will use : /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf locating fmtutil : /usr/bin/fmtutil executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : hw output : standard interface : en options : verbose current mode : none TeX run : 1 pdfetex -progname=context \&cont-en hw.tex This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) entering extended mode (./hw.tex{/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg} ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.5.7 int: english mes: english systems : pdfTeX version 110 -> please update systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs) language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex! color : palette rollover is available system (E-TEX) : [line 878] system (E-TEX) : [line 933] ) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-dis.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns en->default:default->1->2:2 uk->default:default->2-> 2:2 de->texnansi:texnansi->3->2:2 de->ec:ec->4->2:2 fr->texnansi:texnansi->5->2 :2 fr->ec:ec->6->2:2 es->default:default->7->2:2 it->texnansi:texnansi->8->2:2 it->ec:ec->9->2:2 nl->texnansi:texnansi->10->2:2 nl->ec:ec->11->2:2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : hw.top loaded (./hw.top !
