Re: [NTG-context] white space after a float in a column

Hi all, In my recent question I had overlooked the possibility of using \startplaceintermezzo ... \stopplaceintermezzo and inserting a \blank before the \stopplaceintermezzo. Sorry for this stupid mistake and the noise. With kind regards, Sytse Knypstra

Some macros (Metafun)
by Fabrice Couvreur 11 Aug '19

11 Aug '19

Hello, In the Metafun manual, Hans uses macros like drawpath p ; drawcontrollines p ; drawpoints p ; drawcontrolpoints p ... How to use them in a document ? Where to find source codes ? For example, the following code does not work : \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{path} path p ; p := (1cm,1cm)--(1.5cm,1.5cm)..(2cm,0cm)..cycle ; \stopuseMPgraphic \startMPcode p := p .. cycle ; swappointlabels := true ; drawpath p ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Thank you Fabrice

This looks good to me. However, could you tell me a way to get the correct baseline with textext? When I use \startMPpage draw btex dummy etex shifted (0,0); draw btex foo etex shifted (1.5cm,0); \stopMPpage the baseline is the one that I would expect from TeX, i.e. at the depth of the “y” is removed or otherwise correctly accounted for. In contrast when I use \startMPpage draw textext("dummy") shifted (0,0); draw textext("foo") shifted (1.5cm,0); \stopMPpage the baseline will be below the depth of the “y” which is sometimes unwanted. > > Hans > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands > tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl > -----------------------------------------------------------------

Wrong MetaPost text output
by Henri Menke 11 Aug '19

11 Aug '19

Dear devs, There seems to be a bug in the MetaPost integration of ConTeXt. The MWE below should produce three different labels “dummy foo bar” but instead produces “bar bar bar”. The same example works correctly in plain MetaPost. Originally reported on https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/503773/strange-behaviour-of-the-bte… Cheers, Henri --- \starttext \startMPpage def drawtest(expr i) = %i is not used here draw btex dummy etex shifted (0,0); draw btex foo etex shifted (1.5cm,0); draw btex bar etex shifted (3cm,0); enddef; drawtest(5); \stopMPpage \stoptext

white space after a float in a column
by Sytse Knypstra＠home.nl 10 Aug '19

10 Aug '19

Dear list members, I am struggling with floats in a two-column layout. I understand that there are three up-to-date mechanisms for columns: columnsets, pagecolumns and pagegrids. However, in neither setup I succeed in producing some extra vertical whitespace after the float if a caption is omitted (i.e. location=none in \setupcaption). My example:   \definepapersize[square21][width=21cm,height=21cm]  \setuppapersize[square21][square21]  \definecolumnset[Two][n=2]  \setupcolumnset[Two]  \setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none,spaceafter=1cm]  % no value for spaceafter seems to work \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]  \setupframedtexts[frame=on,corner=round,width=local]  \setuplayout[grid=yes]  \starttext  \startcolumnset[Two]  \input knuth \par   \placeintermezzo[bottom][]{}  \startframedtext  \input tufte \par  \stopframedtext   \input knuth \par  \stopcolumnset \stoptext If 'columnset' is replaced everywhere by 'pagecolumns' or by 'pagegrid' through a find-and-replace operation, the result remains identical. Is it possible to insert more vertical white space after the intermezzo? A secondary remark: \placeintermezzo always puts the framed text at the top of the next column, no matter whether the parameter is top or bottom. But this is not a big deal. Sytse Knypstra

[feature] update
by Floris van Manen 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

I do a daily update of the context distribution using the command sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex This works well, but is rather verbose on the screen. Would it be possible to have a less verbose version? Or that the script could check some kind of a checksum before deciding to download all data? Or download only part of the data (saving on some carbon footprint ;-) Thanks. .Floris

XML/HTML output of Math
by Atsuhito Kohda 09 Aug '19

09 Aug '19

Hi all, I used to compile a beamer file with LuaLaTeX to generate a PDF for presentation then convert the beamer file to XHTML with LaTeXML for Web page. Recently I begin to use ConTeXt so I try to get a PDF for presentation and also XML/HTML output from a single ConTeXt file. I have a few questions about XML/HTML output of Math. 1. In case inline math mode with \displaystyle, we get wrong output of "\int_a^b"; lower limit and upper limit are interchanged and further "b" is a bit larger and an integral symbol is rather small. (It looks "\displaystyle" is not effective, e.g see "\frac".) In case display math mode, we get very weird output of "\int_a^b". It is difficult to explain how weird it is but something like an output of "b_{\int}^a". Please check an attatched sample. We get the similar kind of weird output of "\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}". Due to these, it is impossible to use XML/HTML output of ConTeXt in real use. 2. \math{\Vmatrix{\vI, \vj, \vk; a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}; b_{1}, b_{2}, b_{3}}} \vI, \vj, \vk are disappeared in xml/html output. What happend? BTW, if we put "a" (or any alphabet?) in fron of \vI, then we get every elements (but of course we get unnecessary "a" also). ------------- bSample \setupbackend[export=yes] \definemathmatrix[vmatrix][matrix:bars] [simplecommand=Vmatrix] \define[1]\vsym{\text{\math{\bi #1}}} \define\vI{\vsym{i}} % \define\vi{\vsym{i}} \define\vj{\vsym{j}} \define\vk{\vsym{k}} \starttext A simple math. \m{y=\sin x}, \m{\displaystyle y=\frac{\log x}{x}}, \m{\mathbf{A+B=C}}, \m{\mathbb{R}}, \m{\mathfrak{A}}, \m{\mathcal{S}}, A bit complex math. \m{\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}x\sin x\,dx=-[x\cos x]_{a}^{b}+\int_{a}^{b}\cos x\,dx} \startformula \int_{a}^{b}x\sin x\,dx=-[x\cos x]_{a}^{b}+\int_{a}^{b}\cos x\,dx \stopformula \m{\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^n}{n!}} \startformula \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^n}{n!} \stopformula \math{\Vmatrix{\vI, \vj, \vk; a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}; b_{1}, b_{2}, b_{3}}} \math{\Vmatrix{a\vI, \vj, \vk; a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}; b_{1}, b_{2}, b_{3}}} \stoptext ------------- eSample Thanks in advance.

align figures verticaly centered in \startcombination mode

Dear all, In the following example, “align=middle” works for horizontal center. Is there any way to align two figures with different height in vertically centered? Thank you.

Hello list! I have: \starttext \setupcombination [location=top, distance=\spaceamount] \bTABLE[align=flushleft,columndistance=0.1em] \bTR \bTD[width=2cm] Small \eTD \bTD[width=0.05\textwidth] \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext I have a question tot he sencond bTD [with 0.05\textwidth] \eTD, because: I would like to know: how can I put two different colors in this second bTD, should I do this like an overlay? There is not any text there. So that i have as an example to the list, pink and mystirose together, in one peace of the table without any text. Many thanks to the list Uschi

Bug in LMTX: Color is lost after linebreak
by Henri Menke 07 Aug '19

Dear devs, there seems to be a bug in LMTX. In the MWE below, the letter right after the linebreak is black instead of gray. I'm using the latest beta. mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2019.07.24 11:31 mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context-lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2019.08.02 19:50 Cheers, Henri --- \starttext \startstandardmakeup[align=middle] \tfd\setupinterlinespace \color[middlegray]{% Why is the letter right after the linebreak not gray?} \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext
