faulty to unicode mapping of chars encoded with surrogate pairs?
by Ulrike Fischer 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

when I compile the following with context \pdfvariable compresslevel=0 \starttext $f$ \stoptext I get in the pdf 1 beginbfchar <0515> <D875DC53> endbfchar D875DC53 is according to http://www.russellcottrell.com/greek/utilities/surrogatepaircalculator.htm the codepoint 2D453 and this is not a valid unicode point. As a result copy& paste doesn't work correctly. A similar example with xelatex writes D835DC53 (remark the 3 instead of the 7) instead in the pdf which gives the correct code point 1D453 and copies fine. lualatex gives the faulty value too. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

xrightarrow is not straight
by Joshua Moerman 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi ConTeXt mailing list, I am using the extensible arrows and I am not really satisfied with the looks of it. The most important issue I have is that the vertical spacing is too much. You can see this in the attached picture: the left arrow is using \xrightarrow{\neq a} and the right arrow is using \stackrel{\neq a}{\longrightarrow}. I think the right one (with stackrel) looks more natural. Is there a way to setup the vertical spacing? Another thing I noticed is that the line is not very consistent. This might be a font issue (I am using Euler). Luckily, the inconsistent overlap is barely visible when printed. Thanks again! Groetjes, Joshua

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes in titles, 3 years old file compiles now different
by Huseyin Özoguz 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

I forget: I use now luatex beta 0.80.0 (and Context from 2015.04.15), but the old pdf was compiled with luatex 0.77.0, is that the difference, which deleted the footnote? (I hope this does not break the thread....never learned how to use mail-lists with thunderbird)

Footnotes in titles, 3 years old file compiles now different
by Huseyin Özoguz 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hello together, I have a file from 2015, which contains something like this: \section{title\footnote{ftn-content}} And the compiled pdf from then show the footnote correct and with the number in order to the other footnotes. But now I have compiled it again without differences, and the footnote disappears. I have read about this and basically it says that apart from local footnotes its not possible anymore (?) to set footnotes in titles (s.t. the numbers stay in order to all the other footnotes). What changed since 2015? That is a problem for me because I have to compile a book from then to print it again (with minor other corrections in the text, but nothing in style). How to achieve the same result like back then? Thank you! Huseyin

preventing endnotes from running off the page
by Robert Zydenbos 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

When using endnotes, it seems that all the notes that are collected in the text are placed together in a frame – but I have so many notes in a chapter that the frame runs off the last page. Is there any way to let the endnotes run on naturally to the next page? Robert

using both footnotes and endnotes in a document
by Robert Zydenbos 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

A puzzle for note specialists: I would like to use both endnotes as well as footnotes in one and the same document, for different kinds of notes. Ideally, I should be able to write something like: ----- Here is a footnote,\footnote{The footnotes comes here.} and now comes an note that should appear at the end of my text.\endnote{And this is the endnote.} ----- For this I would need commands for determining the kind of markers for the notes (I know what to do for footnotes: this looks like \setupfootnotes [conversion=characters]; but what does one do for endnotes?)

CSS selector for elements strictly preceded by other elements
by MF 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hello list, please consider these XML snippets: <e/>some text<f/> <e/>some text<h>blah blah</h>some other text<f/> <e/><f/> now apply these CSS selectors to them: e ~ f matches all e + f matches the first and the third There's no CSS selector to match ONLY the third. But i have a use case for that: sometimes i have endnote markers that immediately follow footnote markers. Since -- in my layout -- footnotes have letter markers and endnotes numbers, it results in something like "c30" in superscript. It would be nice putting a comma between them ("c,30") or a thin space, but the "e + f" selector does not discriminate between: blah blah<footnote-ref idref="c"/><endnote-ref idref="30"/> and blah blah<footnote-ref idref="d"/> some other text <endnote-ref idref="31"/> it would match both, but it's only the first one that i want to catch. I'd suggest a non-standard "e ++ f" operator. Would you prefer a lpath expression (which one)? Greetings, Massi

columns unexpected (odd) results
by Floris van Manen 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Has anyone a solution / hint as how to get the linespacing correct when using columns ? The first page works as expected, but all the following pages have an unexpected mis-alignment in the first column The document itself is plain vanilla: \starttext \startlines Testing 1971-04-26 \startcolumns[n=3] + 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08 + 17300 \rightarrow\ 2018-09-06 + 17371 \rightarrow\ 2018-11-16 … + 39900 \rightarrow\ 2080-07-22 + 39993 \rightarrow\ 2080-10-23 + 40000 \rightarrow\ 2080-10-30 \stopcolumns \stoplines \stoptext

Issue with bibtex crossref in combination with {-}
by Joshua Moerman 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hi ConTeXt people, I found another issue with the crossref feature in ConTeXt. I get an error when a {-} is used in a crossref. If it is used directly in the paper entry, it works just fine. Replacing {-} by only - works, but the DBLP database generates {-} and it would be nice to use that directly. Example: \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \startbuffer[biblio] @inproceedings{PAPER, author = {First Last}, title = {PaperTitle}, booktitle = {Conference of BlaBla}, year = {2017}, crossref = {CONF}, } @proceedings{CONF, title = {Conference on BlaBla}, year = {2017}, editor = {Jan{-}Willem Jansen}, publisher = {Springer}, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[biblio.buffer] \starttext See \cite{PAPER}. \blank \placelistofpublications \blank \showbtxdatasetcompleteness \stoptext This gives the error: tex error > tex error on line 1 in file C:/Users/joshua/Documents/PhD/Thesis/ConTeXtTests/biblio.tex: ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup But it should just work without errors (I think), since using extra {} should work. Thanks in advance. Groetjes, Joshua
