extra warning in the lua version
by Sylvain Hubert 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Dear List, The following code does the same thing twice, once with lua and once without, but the lua version triggers a warning: \starttext % this triggers a warning: fonts > checking > char [sub] in font 'LMMono12-Regular' with id 8: missing \startluacode context.startxtable() context.startxrow() context.startxcell() context.starttyping() context('1') context.stoptyping() context.stopxcell() context.stopxrow() context.stopxtable() \stopluacode % this does not \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell \starttyping 1 \stoptyping \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext Does anyone have an idea why this has happened? Thanks! Best, Sylvain

indentation of item separators
by Sylvain Hubert 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Dear List, In the following example, what is indented is the text instead of the numbers. \starttext \startitemize[n, packed][indenting=2em] \item abc \item def \item ghi \stopitemize \stoptext Does anyone know how to indent the whole item group altogether? Thanks! Best, Sylvain

main text runs in the footnote area
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hans, I have the following sample: \starttext \dorecurse{25}{This is a sentence\footnote{And this is a footnote}. } \startitemize[n, columns, three, packed] \dorecurse{25}{\item This is an item} \stopitemize \input{zapf}\footnote{This is a footnote} \startitemize[n, columns, two] \dorecurse{15}{\item This is an item} \stopitemize \stoptext The body text runs in the footnote area, as some of us have already reported. I know that avoiding lists (especially when they contain columns) would mitigate the problem. But some of my documents need both multiple-column lists and footnotes. Would it be possible that main text never runs in the footnote area? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Bug in overprint? (was: how to set overprint)
by Jano Kula 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hello, may I ask someone, who understands knockout and overprint in the printing press, to check test cases in the attached file from the test suite, if overprint is working or not in Mark IV, please?

color epub reader
by Hans Hagen 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hi, Playing with a pocketbook color epub reader (I just put some manuals on it): - the colors are not bright enough, also not with lights on, why rgb and not cmyk (i only tested pdf) - the viewer is buggy and freezes, color demands more mem i think, but after an upodate it got a bit better - resolution not good enough (yet) But we keep hoping ...

\type{...} as macro argument
by Sylvain Hubert 08 Nov '20

08 Nov '20

Dear List, I would like to ask how to define a command, \same, such that \same{\type{a b c}} produces the same result as its argument does \type{a b c} The naive way doesn't work because it makes all the spaces collapse: \define[1]\same{#1} I would also like to ask whether this could be achieved using the lua interface: \startluacode interfaces.definecommand { name="same", -- catcode/mode/arguments = ??? } Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

"page i/n" in footer
by Sylvain Hubert 08 Nov '20

08 Nov '20

Dear List, Does anyone know how to set the footer to be "page i/n" where i=current page number, n=total number of page? I've tried \setuppagenumbering[location=footer, command=\groupedcommand{page }{/\lastcounter[userpage]}] but \lastcounter[userpage] results in empty string. Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

issues with fonts and font effects
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Nov '20

08 Nov '20

Hans, this sample comes from Sylvain’s message: %~ \definefontfeature[ef1][effect={width=1.0}] \definefontfeature[ef2][effect={width=}] \definefontfamily[face1][rm][gabriola] [features={default, ef1}] \definefontfamily[face2][rm][gabriola] [features={default, ef2}] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[face1]\dorecurse{100}{a b c } \switchtobodyfont[face2]\dorecurse{100}{a b c } \switchtobodyfont[palatino]\dorecurse{100}{a b c } \stoptext \setupbodyfont[palatino] or \switchtobodyfont[palatino] don’t seem to work at all. Results are different if feature ef1 is defined or not. With all features defined, paragraph width is wrong using "effect={width=1.0}". Could you check this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

temporarily move up a section title
by Sylvain Hubert 08 Nov '20

08 Nov '20

Dear List, I'm trying to move up a section title (section b) 2cm upward: \starttext \section{a} \blank[-2cm,force]\ \section{b} \section{c} \stoptext The empty space (\ ) after the \blank is necessary here, without which the \blank does nothing. I would like to ask whether there is a less hacky way to let \blank work than the hidden space. Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

weird behavior of font.feature.effect
by Sylvain Hubert 08 Nov '20

08 Nov '20

Dear List, I'm confused by the result of the following example (see attached): \definefontfamily[face1][rm][gabriola][it={features:{default}}] \definefontfamily[face2][rm][gabriola][it={features:{default, effect={}}}] \definefontfamily[face3][rm][gabriola][it={features:{default, effect={width=1.0}}}] \starttext \startitemize[n, packed] \item \switchtobodyfont[face1]\it\dorecurse{100}{a b c } \item \switchtobodyfont[face2]\it\dorecurse{100}{a b c } \item \switchtobodyfont[face3]\it\dorecurse{100}{a b c } \stopitemize \stoptext Could someone explain: 1. What does "effect" mean? Why does "effect={}" embolden the fonts even though nothing ({}) is given as arguments? 2. Similarly, what does "width" do? Why does "width=1.0" shrink the width of the line instead of doing nothing? Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain
