picking up parameters from mtxrun
by Hans van der Meer 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

I seem to remember (from a galaxy far far away) that it was possible to pick up the parameters from the mtxrun call that sets ConTeXt typesetting in motion. For example doing mtxrun —mymode=something and then in the program retrieving that something. Will someone enlighten me? dr. Hans van der Meer

unknown library
by Hans van der Meer 08 Sep '18

08 Sep '18

Mij font setup is nothing more then \setupbodyfont[cambria,12pt] An underfull hbox I can understand but wherefrom these messages about an “unknown library normal”? I guess it is not the font, because substituting lmodern for cambria makes no difference. Does this signify I should change something? If so, then what? Underfull \hbox (badness 1014) in paragraph at lines 7--7 []<15: cambria @ 10.0pt> adres[] fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'normal' fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'normal' pages > flushing realpage 108, userpage 108 dr.

tatoolbar
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

Hello, due to great TextAdept (TA) [1] extendibility, I'd like to try to program a TA add-on which would provide a ConTeXt source "browser". The idea is to create an independent window in the TA which will show the current document structure, or even the project structure, and provide some click-in-browser-go-to-source functionality. Suppose having a source file with the following content (line numbers in (...) just for referring): ---- a.tex (1) \section{Sec} (2) (3) Hello (4) (5) \subsection{Subsec} (6) (7) Word ---- The "browser" should display this: ---- Sec (section) Subsec (subsection) ---- After some investigation and some questioning in TA mailing list, it seem that "tatoolbar" [2] might bu useful for this purpose. Unfortunately, there is an initial problem: the tatoolbar is not pre-compiled for Windows [3] and compilation under Windows is not so easy (I tried with GnuWin32 and MinGW installed on my WinX computer); getting Win bins is done by cross compiling under Linux. Is there someone here - who is familiar with Linux - who could compile tatoolbar first - and provide it for trying to write the source browser? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas [1] https://foicica.com/textadept/ [2] https://github.com/gabdub/ta-tweaks/wiki/tatoolbar [3] https://foicica.com/textadept/manual.html#Compiling -- Ing.

Dear Henri Menke, I always use “btex etex” for labeling math. But “…..” is simpler and it works fine. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung >> >> \startbuffer[delta] >> label.bot(btex ${\delta}$ etex, (1cm,0)); % >> %label.bot(btex $\delta$ etex, (3cm,0)); > > Why not just > > label.bot("$\delta$", (3cm,0));

inmargin produces underfull hbox
by Hans van der Meer 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

This minimal example: \starttext \currentdate-\currenttime\quad\ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\blank Testing \ConTeXt macro\ \tex{inmargin} \blank Some text to fill the body of the text.\par \inmargin{\hbox{abc}} Some text to fill the body of the text\par \stoptext produces an underfull hbox: Underfull \hbox (badness 1210) in paragraph at lines 6--6 [][][] the same happens with the line: \inmargin{abc} Underfull \hbox (badness 1210) in paragraph at lines 6--6 []<9: lmroman12-bold @ 12.0pt> abc[] addition of \hfil or \hss doesn’t help. My conclusion: this is somewhere located in \inmargin. It would be nice if this can be resolved, because in procession some 500 \inmargin’s the log is cluttered with all these messages. dr.

labeling in meta post
by Jeong Dal 07 Sep '18

Hi, What is the difference between {\delta} and \delta? Former is OK, but the second is not compiled. Here is a MWE. \startbuffer[delta] label.bot(btex ${\delta}$ etex, (1cm,0)); % %label.bot(btex $\delta$ etex, (3cm,0)); label.bot(btex $\frac{2-\delta}{2}$ etex, (5cm,0)); % \stopbuffer \starttext \processMPbuffer[delta] \stoptext Best regards, Dalyoung

ConTeXt ignores crop in some pdf graphics
by Mari Voipio 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

Hello! After updating ConTeXt I found out that it has suddenly started to ignore the crop in some of my pdf graphics. These graphics look ok (=cropped) in Acrobat and SumatraPDF, but when the graphic is placed, the cropbox (?) is ignored and there's all this blank space around the graphic, space that shouldn't be there. This is new behaviour, all of the graphics worked as expected in my previous ConTeXt (from September 2017). Minimal sample is attached to this email, hopefully it is small enough to make it to the mailing list. After a quick look it seems that all the problematic graphics are pdf output from CorelDraw, from different versions of that. Oddly the problem doesn't affect all cropped graphics that originate from CorelDraw, just some of them. There are even graphics that have been outputted from one and same file where one works and the other doesn't. If this only concerns files from Corel (and not those I cropped in Acrobat), I can fix it in Corel if necessary. However, it would be preferable if ConTeXt can be forced to take the cropping into account. I tried looking for a solution on the wiki, but it wasn't very helpful (or I don't know what I'm looking for). I thought adding something to \externalfigure might do the trick, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable key. Thanks, Mari

xtables multipage horizontally
by be ba 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

Hi, the wiki says for xtables and multipage "yes, even horizontally". How can I do that? Doing this: \setupxtable[split=yes] is not enough since this only gives vertically splitting. Both http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf and http://wiki.contextgarden.net/xtables do not talk about this. be ba

Strange vertical result with itemize in columns

Hi, the following example generates (with latest standalone) the attached result. As you can see, the final item is not correctly aligned vertically. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug? /Mikael PS Yes, I use \displaystyle in the real example, but the same error exist with this simpler example. \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2bp] \startitemize[n] \startitem Let $f(x)=\sin x$ and $g(x)=x$.

Problem with simplefonts
by Mari Voipio 03 Sep '18

03 Sep '18

Hello! Partly due to the upcoming ConTeXt meeting I updated my ConTeXt, although with the --current option for latest stable. Most of my files compile fine and there don't seem to be any problems. However, the big beast fails right after loading env-fonts-23 (attached) and it seems to be a problem connected to the Simplefonts module. This is what the log says: ----- fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded open source > level 3, order 4, name '../../env-fonts-23.tex' modules > 'simplefonts' is loaded open source > level 4, order 5, name 'C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.mkiv' loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts resolvers > lua > loading file 'C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua' succeeded tex error > tex error on line 802 in file C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.mkiv: !

What is weird is that the almost similar env-fonts-pr33.tex works without complaints. I'm running standalone ConTeXt on a 64-bit Windows10 machine, if that makes any difference. The ConTeXt version is 2018.08.28 17:21 MKIV beta. I don't need the non-working file right now. But it has to compile by the end of next week or I'll be in trouble... Thanks, Mari
