by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 24 Oct '17

Hello, maybe a very basic question - - but in the sample bellow the VL of the first row is drawn only to height of the first line of the 2line paragraph; how to make the VL "full-height"? ---- \starttext \starttabulate[|l|p|] \NC Hello \VL This is a dummy but very loooooooong text which goes into several (one, two, three?) lines \NC\NR \NC Something \VL else \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

External graphics directory
by N. Raghavendra 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Is it possible to specify an external graphics directory either as an environment variable, or as a command line option to `context', instead of writing `\setupexternalfigures [directory=../../foo]'? I tried the environment variable setting TEXINPUTS=../../foo:: as in http://www.tex.ac.uk/FAQ-graphicspath.html, and the command line option --path=../../foo for `context', but neither works in my Linux environment. I would like to avoid cluttering ConTeXt files with system paths. Thanks and regards, Raghu. -- N.

Or am I doing something wrong? With the following, Schwarzenegger is not hyphenated according to the instruction. I get: \mainlanguage[en] \hyphenation{Schwarz-en-egger} \startexceptions[en] epi-graphs Mount-weazels Mount-weazel \stopexceptions \starttext \hyphenatedword{Schwarzenegger} \\ \hyphenatedword{Mountweazel} \\ \hyphenatedword{Mountweazels} \\ \hyphenatedword{epigraph} \\ \hyphenatedword{epigraphs} \stoptext -- Rik

Consider the following MWE: \setupbodyfont[cambria] %\setupquotation[method=font] \starttext \quotation{A}\crlf “A” \stoptext In the output rendering of the above (see attachment), the first line lacks kerning between the double quotes and the letter A. This can be enabled by saying \setupquotation[method=font]. At least that is what I know about this option. Am I wrong? Is there a different option for enabling this? Regards, Christoph PS: Sorry for the wrong subject line of my previous email. It is corrected now.

I see that the captions "TABLE" and "FLOAT" are placed on top while the captions "Two" and "Two" are placed on the bottom. Is there a way to setup the locations of the captions of floats within a floatcombination? In this particular example, the goal is, that the captions "Two" and "Two" are placed on top of the respective tables. Cheers, Christoph

Missing Chapter Numbers
by Thangalin 22 Oct '17

22 Oct '17

\setuphead[chapter][number=yes,] \setuphead[section][number=no,] \setuphead[subsection][placehead=hidden,] \definehead[scenesubsection][subsection] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \chapter{Chapter Name} \section{Section Name} \startscenesubsection \input tufte \stopscenesubsection } \stoptext The chapter headings should be enumerated 1 through 5, but some chapter numbers are either hidden or enumerated incorrectly. Using "placehead=no" causes the spacing to change when framing an entire section. Related: https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror/blob/b14f992ef5f4e868c9959b… Any ideas on how to work around this issue? Thank you!

three issues with \setuptyping
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Oct '17

21 Oct '17

Hans, [I have reported this before the meeting, but it was wiser to wait after the meeting was over.] I have the following sample: %~ \usemodule[scite] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2em] \startTEX This is text. % a comment, not \comment \stopTEX \startXML <p>This is text.</p> \stopXML \startLUA if code=="code" then --this is a comment --[[ this is a multiline comment --]] not part of the comment ---[[ this isn’t a multiline comment ---]] \stopLUA \stopTEXpage \stoptext I’m experiencing three issues: 1. Both TeX and Lua comments only mark (in bold and darkyellow) the comment character, but not the comment content. 2. Multiline Lua comments remove the first line break after the comment begins. Brackets are also affected from first issue. 3. XML comment characters are marked as standard tags. Using the scite module removes the three issues (XML comment chars are in a different color, both from comment content and from any other element). But the scite module doesn’t allow the options \setuptyping has. Would it be possible that whole comments may be formatted in the same color and font (TeX, Lua and XML)? Could you fix the issue with removed line break in multiline comments? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

ANNOUNCEMENT: ConTeXt "nodes" module (in core).
by Alan Braslau 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Gentle ConTeXt users: Following the presentation made at the ConTeXt users' meeting in September in Maiburg, Germany, we are pleased to announce the introduction of a new ConTeXt module for the drawing of nodal diagrams. Thanks to the efforts of Hans Hagen, it has been integrated into the core code so there is no need to load a module. A manual has been written and is now available in the Standalone distribution. It can be found under $CONTEXTROOT/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/nodes.pdf. Those who know the ConTeXt manuals will recognized Hans' hand in helping to create the cover artwork as well as other stylistic improvements! Like all of ConTeXt, this is a "beta" release and may undergo further development. It is MetaPost based, but those who might be intimidated a bit by the MetaPost language should not be afraid, for we have tried to make it as simple as possible. Please take a look at it. We, of course, welcome constructive feedback. Alan (and Hans)
