Tweaking an existing letter style
by Michael Guravage 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

I am typesetting a letter using Wolfgang's letter module. I have a requirement that deviates from any of the existing styles, namely that the recipient, i.e. the address, and the sender, i.e., the header, need to start left and right respectively and at the same height. I am using the modified style and am trying to adjust the layout via he \setupletterstyle command without success. I have look at the sources and have seen how the elements of the various styles are stacked, but I cannot discern how to achieve the side-by-side arrangement I require. If anyone can advise me how I can move these various layers about, I would be very grateful. Cheers, Michael

Dear Pablo, I also think that it is good to collect styles for math people in the wiki. However, I have no experience to add something to the wiki, so I don’t know how. I may try first and if I can’t, I’ll may ask your help. I should mention again that these examples are not possible without Wolfgang’s solution. Thank you.

complete cut marks
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Dec '17

03 Dec '17

Hans, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuplayout [marking=on] \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth] \stoptext These cut marks are lost after the first cut. Would it be possible to have a marking=crossed such as the one proposed in the attachment? (BTW, I added them by hand with Inkscape, this is why they look awful.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi, Some days ago, I asked a method to put theorem numbers in a framed title. Recently, Wolfgang gave me a solution which worked very well. Although the first one is much simpler than the second, I’d like to show two samples made by his suggestion. I hope that it may help someone who has the similar problem. Thanks Wolfgang again. Best regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%%%%% first method %1. use \enumerationparameter{text} and add “text=Theorem” in \defineenumeration. %%%%%%%%%%% \defineframed [FunnyFramed] [frame=off, loffset=1ex, roffset=1ex, foregroundstyle=\ssbf] \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric o ; path a, b ; pair c ; p := textext.rt("\FunnyFramed{\enumerationparameter{text} \convertedcounter[Theorem]}") ; o := BodyFontSize ; a := unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) ; p := p shifted (2o,OverlayHeight-ypart center p) ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red) ; b := a superellipsed .95 ; draw b ; b := (boundingbox p) superellipsed .95 ; fill b withcolor .85white ; draw b ; draw p withcolor black ; setbounds currentpicture to a ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext [FunnyText] [frame=off, background=FunnyFrame, before={\blank[line,halfline]}, after={\blank[line]}, offset=\bodyfontsize, width=\textwidth] \defineenumeration[Theorem] [title=no, text=Theorem, prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter, way=bychapter, alternative=command, headcommand=\gobbleoneargument, before=\startFunnyText, after=\stopFunnyText] \defineenumeration[Lemma] [title=no, text=Lemma, prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter, way=bychapter, alternative=command, counter=Theorem, headcommand=\gobbleoneargument, before=\startFunnyText, after=\stopFunnyText] \defineenumeration[Coro] [title=no, text=Corollary, prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter, way=bychapter, alternative=command, counter=Theorem, headcommand=\gobbleoneargument, before=\startFunnyText, after=\stopFunnyText] \starttext \dorecurse{3} {\chapter{Chapter Title} \startLemma Fort's space is a compact and Hausdorff topological space. \stopLemma \startTheorem Fort's space is a compact and Hausdorff topological space. \stopTheorem \startTheorem Let $X$ be a uncountable set.

Modern CV like cover letter example
by Jonas Baggett 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

Hello everyone, As suggested by Wolfgang Schuster here : https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/087113.html , I have added on the wiki an example of a cover letter that has a similar style to Modern CV. You will find it here : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter_style#Modern_CV_like_cover_letter . I hope it can help. Cheers, Jonas Baggett

\startitemize[columns] and footnote

Hi, Consider the following MWE: \starttext Text \footnote{Bla} \startitemize[columns] \item Item \stopitemize \stoptext In the rendered output, the footnote is drawn on top of the item (see attached output.png). I am afraid this looks like a bug. Please consider fixing this or tell me how to make footnotes render in the footnote area. Regards, Christoph

Hi all, I am using a Makefile to call context on a XML-file. With older versions of context I could build the PDF in a special targetdir defined in the Makefile. The call of context is a follows: pandoc $(SRC) $(CONTEXTOPTIONS) --variable include-after="<div class=backmatter><sub>Version: $(ID)</sub></div>" -o tmp.xml && contextjit --purgeall --environment=env.tex --mode=trimsize,no-coverpage tmp.xml --result=$(TARGETDIR)/$(TARGET)-$(ID).pdf But I get the error message results are to be on the running path, not on 'build', ignoring --result Is this intended? -- Das ZEN von Pandoc Bücher und E-Books einfach und professionell produzieren http://www.amazon.de/Das-ZEN-von-Pandoc-professionell/dp/1505218799/ Paperback (232 Seiten) und E-Book

'lua.registercode' bug in latest beta

Hi, Using '\ctxloadluafile' can get an error: ``` ..ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-cod.lua:50: bad argument #1 to 'gmatch' (string expected, got nil) ``` It seems to be caused by 'if options ~= ""' in `lua.registercode'. That empyt string should be 'nil'? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

definefallbackfamily and uppercasedoublestruck not working?
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

Hi! I use the Neo Euler which has no doublestruck characters. Maybe I use old code, but I really think that the following has worked before: %%% \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math][range=uppercasedoublestruck] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Neo Euler] \setupbodyfont[mainface,12pt] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=3pt] Test: $\blackboard C$ or $\mathbb C$ \switchtobodyfont[pagella] Test: $\blackboard C$ or $\mathbb C$ \stopTEXpage \stoptex %%% I would expect doublestruck letters in the output on the first line. The resulting file, compiled with a fresh Standalone, is attached. Best regards, Mikael
