Formatting in the toc
by Calum MacLeod 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

In the body of document, I often have a heading such as this: \subject{{\bf Hymn 387} \hfill {\it The Lord's my Shepherd}} When it arrives in the Table of Contents, the bold and italic have been stripped off. My question is: How do I copy to ToC the formatting as well as the content of the text? I would be grateful for an answer, or to be pointed to where I could learn more. Thanks in advance, Calum MacLeod

Strange error with combination of itemization, footnote and \crlf
by context＠vivaldi.net 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Hello, here is a minimal sample which doesn't compile: ---- \starttext \startitemize \item A\footnote{% B \startitemize \item C \stopitemize }\crlf D \item E % <<<< This sample compiles when this line is commented (?!) \stopitemize \stoptext ---- The error message is: " ... ...eta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-num.lua:465: attempt to index a nil value (local 'd') 2 \startitemize 3 \item 4 A\footnote{% 5 B 6 \startitemize 7 \item C 8 \stopitemize 9 }\crlf 10 D 11 12 >> \item E % <<<< This sample compiles when this line is commented 13 \stopitemize 14 \stoptext 15 " When the "\item E" is commented, the sample compiles successfully. ConTeXt version: "ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.11 15:47 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.10.16 int: english/english". Any idea what's going wrong? Best regards, Lukas

Bad cooperation between \unit and TABLE
by Tomas Hala 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Hi all, I came across the problem with bad aligment of cells in natural tables (longer MWE below): When I use \unit for better typesetting of units, lines 6, 6a, 8 and 9 are sloppy-aligned -- first, the alignmentcharacter is ignored, secondly the very huge space appears between e.g. m and 2. It seems that it happens at any time when the exponent in any form is required. Moreover, the line 11 is also sloppy-aligned as a consequence of the use of \unit|\high commands because if the line 2a is active, the alignment position is computed properly and the line 11 is ok. Is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Best wishes, Tomáš \starttext \setupTABLE[c][2][alignmentcharacter={text->,}, aligncharacter=yes, align={lohi,middle}] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD Line \#1 \eTD \bTD39 \eTD \eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#2 \eTD \bTD 42,185 \eTD \eTR %\bTR\bTD Line \#2a \eTD \bTD 55 550,21 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#3 \eTD \bTD 41,85\,\% \eTD \eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#4 \eTD \bTD 1125,80 centimeter \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#5\eTD \bTD 1125,80 \unit{cm} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#6 \eTD \bTD 129,30 \unit{square centimeter} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#6a \eTD \bTD 129,30 \unit{m2} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#7 \eTD \bTD 129,30 \unit{m} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#8 \eTD \bTD 129,30 cm$^{\tfxx2}$\,\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#9 \eTD \bTD 0,21 m\high{2} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#10 \eTD \bTD 41,85 \% \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#11 \eTD \bTD 55 550,21 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#12 \eTD \bTD 0,21 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

A5 != 210mm x 148mm ?
by Kerry Sainsbury 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

Hi, If A5 is 210mm x 148mm (and the internet assures me that it is <https://papersizes.io/a/a5>), then shouldn't these two setuppapersize variants give the same result? They don't *seem* to. %\setuppapersize[A5] \setuppapersize[height=210mm, width=148mm] \starttext \input ward.tex \stoptext The reason I ask is because I'd like to prepare a PDF for printing via IngramSpark, and have discovered that (bizarrely) their Australian branch doesn't support A5 for colour books. They do offer 6x9 (229x152), and I was wondering what values to use in 'setuppapersize', so I thought I'd experiment with the A5 sizing because it's a well known size. Now I have no idea :-( Thanks Kerry

issue embedding from Lua code
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \startluacode function document.special_attachment(reference) year = reference:sub(7, 10) attachment_url = "https://www.boe.es/buscar/pdf/" .. year .. "/" .. reference .. "-consolidado.pdf" return attachment_url end \stopluacode \unexpanded\def\giveattachment#1{% \cldcontext{document.special_attachment("#1")}} \def\cE{BOE-A-1978-31229} \attachment[file={\giveattachment{\cE}}, color=red] \attachment[file={https://www.boe.es/buscar/pdf/1978/BOE-A-1978-31229-consolidado.pdf}, color=blue] \giveattachment{\cE} \stoptext I don’t know why I do get the second attachment, but not the first one. Lua code seems to be fine (given the last command in the sample). Could anyone explain me what I’m doing wrong? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\setuppagenumbering doublesided generates blank pages
by Kerry Sainsbury 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Hi there, I am a newbie, and have *seem* to have discovered that \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] generates a blank page between chapters. \setupheadertexts[chapter] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={header,inmargin}] \starttext \startchapter[title={October 2000}] Blah One \stopchapter \startchapter[title={November 2000}] Blah Two \stopchapter \stoptext This produces a PDF in TeXworks containing 4 pages: - Page 1 with a header an 'October 2000' header and 'Blah One' content - Page 2 with a header an 'October 2000' header only. - Page 3 with a header an 'November 2000' header and 'Blah Two' content - Page 4 which is completely blank If I remove the \setuppagenumbering line the PDF contains just two pages, with the expected content. I'm using "ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.11 15:47 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.10.25 int: english/english" Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a bug? Thanks for your help. ConTeXt is making my life *much* easier right now! Kerry

Images run into each other when using side floats
by Marco Patzer 30 Oct '19

Hi! Some images run into each other when using floats. The following example illustrates this. The second image (or frame) runs into the side figure frame. How to prevent this? \setupfloat [figure] [default=left] \starttext \samplefile{knuth} \startplacefigure [title=Foo] \framed [width=5cm, height=5cm]{} \stopplacefigure \samplefile{ward} \blank \framed [width=4cm, height=4cm]{} \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext context 2019.10.29 15:00 Marco

LMTX not hyphenating about contents
by Pablo Rodriguez 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Dear list, using LuaTeX 2.00 20190729 + ConTeXt MkIV 2019.10.28 18:57 with this sample: \starttext \chapter[refer]{amazingchapter} \hsize\zeropoint \about[refer] \stoptext I’m afraid that LMTX doesn’t hyphenate the word, while MkIV hyphenates it fine. Could anyone confirm this issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
