Asymmetrical Column layout leads to an extra blank page
by Ramkumar KB 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hello All, I am new to this community and am really excited about the possibilities with ConTeXt. My question is related to the thread - https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg92767.html (the suggested solution did not work, unfortunately) After trying out various options, I am faced with these 2 (sub-optimal) choices - 1. Extra Blank page with Asymmetric Columns in the next page (with the \subject{} uncommented) 2. No Blank page with Symmetric Columns (with the \subject{} commented) 3. page=yes / no - does not work (same outcome as above) I am not sure the role of \section or \subject in this matter (seems to be somehow interfering with asymmetrical columnset). \usemodule[newcolumnsets] ... % \subject{} \definecolumnset[soi1][n=3, distance=3mm, page=yes] % \definecolumnset[currency][n=3, page=yes] \setupcolumnset[soi1:1][width=.25\makeupwidth] \setupcolumnset[soi1:2][width=.30\makeupwidth] \setupcolumnset[soi1:3][width=.45\makeupwidth] Any tips, help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. If not for columnset, is there any other way to get this type of layout? Thank you,

Line numbering skips lines
by Felix Krause 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hi all, in a typing environment, I have the problem that not every line is numbered: \definetyping [code] [numbering=line, escape={@[,@]}] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[nonsigpart][r=.7,g=.7,b=.7] \defineframed[nonsig] [location=low,frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=nonsigpart] \starttext \startcode lorem ipsum @[ @] @[foo@] @[\nonsig{bar}@] dolor sit amet \stopcode \stoptext This will number * the first and last lines, containing normal text * the third line containing nothing at all * the forth line containing `foo` inside an escape sequence It will skip * the second line containing a space character inside an escape sequence * the fifth line which produces text with a gray background Why does it skip those lines? This seems really strange as a completely empty line does get numbered. How can I number every line? Regards, Felix

how to set overprint
by Jano Kula 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hello, whatever I try, I cannot get the overprinting right (checked in Output Preview of Acrobat). Even overprint-001.tex from the test suite (2020-09-19) doesn't seem to have it right (latest beta). What I'm missing here? \setupcolors[intent=overprint] \startTEXpage[offset=10mm] \framed[frame=on,offset=10mm, background=color,backgroundcolor=darkgreen]{ % \startcolorintent[overprint] \startoverprint text in black \stopoverprint % \stopcolorintent } \stopTEXpage Thank you, Jano

invoking ConTeXt from .bat file in Win7
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \mainlanguage[es] \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext %~ \startmode[*last] \startluacode io.write("¿Cuál es el mensaje? ") document.message = io.read() \stopluacode %~ \stopmode El mensaje es: \cldcontext{document.message} \stoptext I have two questions about it. How can I invoke an extra run (as mentioned at http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mmodes.pdf#search=last) to be able to use the *last mode in the code above? The other question is that the sample above works fine in Linux. I guess macOS would be also fine. But in Windows (Win7 in my case), I get garbage for "¿". "chcp 65001" in the .bat file doesn’t make any difference. How can I get non-ASCII chars displayed right? (Echoing UTF-8 characters in the same batch file works perfectly right.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

by Oleg 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hi, all. I try to place a row number into the first column of my table. I tried: \definecounter[rownum][way=bytext,prefix=no] \setcounter[rownum][0] \starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell \incrementcounter[rownum] \rawcounter[rownum] \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \incrementcounter[rownum] \rawcounter[rownum] \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \incrementcounter[rownum] \rawcounter[rownum] \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable And got: 7 8 9 If i place \setcounter[rownum][0] right after \startxtable, then i got: 1 2 3 Is this normal? I tried: \newcount\rownumd \rownumd = 0 \starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell \advance\rownumd by 1 \the\rownumd \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \advance\rownumd by 1 \the\rownumd \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \advance\rownumd by 1 \the\rownumd \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable And got: 1 1 1 Can anybody help? -- Олег Неманов (Oleg Nemanov)

Which version of MkIV should we use?
by Rik Kabel 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hello all, I have noticed some differences between the MkIV installed as part of LMTX and the MkIV installed via first-setup. Which should be used going forward when one wants to use MkIV? (One difference: \contextkind is defined in file context.mkiv installed via first-setup. It is not defined in the file of the same name installed as part of LMTX. Another, more significant difference, is loading modules.) -- Rik

troubles with cutafter
by Damien Thiriet 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hello, I went into some troubles with cutafter. Must have missed something obvious. \starttext \startMPpage path p[]; p1:= origin -- (100,0); p2:= (50,-50) -- (50,100); draw p1; draw p2; draw (p1 cutafter (p1 intersectionpoint p2)) withcolor red; \stopMPpage \stoptext Can someone explain me why the whole path p1 of this MWE is in red? I expected only its first half to be in red, and the whole line is. Thanks, Damien Thiriet

The following: \starttext \unexpanded\def\lol#1% { \begingroup \let\processword\inframed \processwords{#1}% \endgroup } \lol{nice $x^2$} %see what happens with the superscript \stoptext works with ConTeXt LMTX, but fails with ConTeXt MkIV: ...mtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/attr-ini.lua:144: attempt to call a nil value (upvalue 'currentattributes') stack traceback: ...mtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/attr-ini.lua:144: in function <...mtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/attr-ini.lua:142> (...tail calls...) In both cases, including inline math gives funny outputs. Regards, Jairo :)
