Move footnotes without moving the footnotes-reference
by Huseyin Özoguz 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Dear list, here my min-example and the question within. \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext \dorecurse{779}{test }\footnote{Just a footnote. Wants to stay on this page without forcing the last line of the first page to move on this page (the 41rd line of the first page is now empty, but it should not). So the reference of the footnote and the foonote itself would be on different pages, but that would be ok. Is that possible?} \stoptext Thank you. -- Huseyin Özoguz E-Mail: h.oezoguz(a)mmnetz.de

Variable space with hanging description
by Cedric Tissieres 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Dear all, I recently switched to mkiv and experienced some problems with descriptions when set with alternative=hanging. The horizontal space between the description title and the rest of the text varies a lot and looks ugly. When the same code is compiled with mkii, this space is almost constant (replace alternative=hanging by location=hanging in mkii). Thanks Cedric ---- \definedescription[desc][ align=hyphenated,alternative=hanging, width=fit,margin=standard] \starttext \startdesc{Abcdefgh} \input knuth \stopdesc \startdesc{Abcdefghij} \input knuth \stopdesc \startdesc{Abcdefghijklmn} \input knuth \stopdesc \stoptext

local command description
by Damien Thiriet 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi, Last year after my speech at BachoTeX, Hans told me, that we can get a local catalogue of ConTeXt macros. So I wrote on a piece of paper two commands but did not note much more and now I am not sure what do they stand for mtxrun --script server --auto When I run this, I got this on my console resolvers | trees | analyzing '/home/dthiriet/texmf' mtx-server | running at port: 8088 mtx-server | document root: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | main index file: unknown mtx-server | scripts subpath: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | context services: http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua and then nothing appends for a quite long time (10 minutes). Is it building a base or something like this? How long should I wait to have it made? The second command I note is mtxrun --gethelp --url=http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=%command% --command= "\definecolor" When I run this, I get sh: http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=definecolor: not found Is it because I did not build the base, or did I miss something (typo or so on?) Thanks, Damien Thiriet

change in treating errors
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi, ConTeXt used to recover better from errors. Consider the following file: ============= \xyz \abc \starttext HELLO \stoptext ============= Running ConTeXt ver: 2019.03.21 21:39 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.3.26 int: english/english would catch both "Undefined control sequence" errors before exiting with the message "mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256". (I either press enter to move to the next error, or I use the --nonstopmode option.) Now with ConTeXt ver: 2019.04.13 17:01 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.4.15 int: english/english, even when I do not supply the --nonstopmode option, ConTeXt exits abnormally with the same error message right after discovering the first undefined control sequence. The old "?" TeX prompt allowing once to fix the misspellings, etc. does not appear at all. Has some defaults changed? Is it possible to get the old behavior? Thanks, ~MHB

TeXShop Preview and fatal error bug
by Alan Bowen 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Using latest TeXShop, latest ConTeXt beta, and latest Moajve, run the file \starttext \quotation{tufte} \page \quotation[tufte} \stoptext The PDF preview is grey. Fix the error: \quotation[tufte} —> \quotation{tufte} Re-run the file. The PDF preview remains gray. Print the PDF file or view it in full screen mode, the output is correct. \page is essential for some reason. Alan

Adjust kerning with superscript
by Henri Menke 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Dear list, I am unhappy with how some fonts kern particular subscripts. For example in the default Latin Modern, subscripts to the Greek capital gamma could use some negative kerning. Because I can't (and don't want to) fix the font, I thought that I could patch the font on-the-fly in ConTeXt. The usual approach with fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature works well in math mode, but does not extend into subscripts (MWE below). Is there a method to adjust subscript kernings? Could this be done using mathkerns? Latin Modern doesn't have any but maybe they can be added on the fly. Cheers, Henri --- \startluacode fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { type = "kern", name = "kern", data = { [0x0393] = { [0x0030] = -200 } } } \stopluacode \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext $\Gamma0$ % works fine :) $\Gamma_0$ % doesn't work :( \stoptext

Missing font features in page header if \feature[-] is used in header text
by Joseph Canedo 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Dear list, With latest ConTeXt beta (13-04-2019) I notice that font features seem ignored in page header rendering. (missing kern between Ps in « Psalme » and different Th in « Thimothee ». Anything I am doing wrong ? Rendering is fine if \headerok is used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Best regards Joseph \definefontfeature[base][mode=node, liga=yes, dlig=yes, hlig=yes, kern=yes] \definefontfeature[xvicentury][] \definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][EBGaramond][features=base] \setupbodyfont[mainfont, 9pt] \showfontkerns \def\wrongheader{First book {\feature[-][xvicentury]v} Psalme De David. Thimothee.} %% \feature[-] seems to cause problems in header \def\headerok{First book v Psalme De David. Thimothee.} \setupheadertexts[\wrongheader] %% kern/ligatures missing <--- % \setupheadertexts[\headerok] %% kern/ligatures ok <--- \starttext \wrongheader %% all ok in main text \headerok \stoptext

Fine-tuning of aps style
by Dmitry Starostin 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

To cite like [1, p. 101] \cite[righttext={\nbsp p.~101}][Hankins:2014] works, but has no comma \cite[righttext={, p.~101}][Hankins:2014] produces no page \cite[righttext={,\nbsp p.~101}][Hankins:2014] gives no page at all \cite[righttext={\nbsp, p.~101}][Hankins:2014] gives no page at all. righttext seems to be reluctant over the initial comma right after the reference number.
