Second level itemization and continue
by N. Raghavendra 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Is it possible to use the continue option for second level itemizations? I am unable to make it work. For example, the following file ------------------------------------------------------------ \starttext \startitemize [n] \startitem One \startitemize [a] \startitem A \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem Two \startitemize [continue] \startitem B \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------ produces 1. One a. A 2. Two a. B Thanks, Raghu. -- N. Raghavendra <raghu(a)hri.res.in>, http://www.retrotexts.net/ Harish-Chandra Research Institute, http://www.hri.res.in/

trying out "plug mode" and the harfbuzz plugin
by Ulrike Fischer 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

I read the guitex article about ffi and luatex and wanted to try if I could run tests with harfbuzz and the plug-mode. Looking in the newest context I found in onandon-ffi.tex a reference to the module fonts-plugins. But this module loads a lua file which isn't in context: \registerctxluafile{font-phb}{} % harfbuzz plugin Is this an oversight or is the code not meant to be used? Or is there something newer somewhere else? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Horizontal line after text in an environment
by Fabrice Couvreur 26 Apr '18

Hello, In this environment, when the text has sufficient height, the horizontal line is well below the figure. However when the height of text is not sufficient, the position of the line is not correct and I would like it also below the figure.

Size of fences, factor key
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Dear Hans and others, I'm usually use the \big, \Big, \bigg etc to get the size of parentheses, brackets and braces to be the size I want. I realize that the fences machinery is probably a cleaner way of doing this. I tried it a bit, and it usually gives the result I like. But sometimes not, and it seems that the way to change the size of the parentheses/brackets/braces is to use the factor key. 1) Are the different options none, auto NUMBER explained somehere? 2) Could one have, for exceptional cases where the default is not satisfactory, a keyword like factor=big for example, to get the same size as if one would have used \big? I am a bit confused. See the example below, with output (from latest standalone) attached. /Mikael PS: I would suggest to have italic = { feature = 'ss01', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Lowercase Italic" }, set in lucida-opentype-math.lfg. In all books (on math) I have seen, I think this is what is used. %%% Example file: \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] \definemathfence[Set][left="007B,right="007D,command=yes] \startbuffer \startformula \Set{x\in\mathbb R~:~x^2=1} \stopformula \stopbuffer \startTEXpage[offset=3bp] \startformula \{x\in\mathbb R~:~ x^2=1\}%Too small \stopformula \startformula \bigl\{x\in\mathbb R~:~ x^2=1\bigr\}%I like this one \stopformula \startformula \Bigl\{x\in\mathbb R~:~ x^2=1\Bigr\}%Too big \stopformula \getbuffer \setupmathfence[Set][factor=1]%I like this one \getbuffer \setupmathfence[Set][factor=auto]%Too big \getbuffer %\setupmathfence[Set][factor=big]%Perhaps this could work? Or size=big or something %\getbuffer \stopTEXpage

path for luatex cache
by Peter Münster 25 Apr '18

Hi, What should I do please, to prevent ConTeXt from creating $HOME/luatex-cache? I tried: - TEXMFCACHE=/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache - TEXMFVAR=/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache - LUATEX_CACHE=/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache but without success... TIA for any help, -- Peter

doiffile
by Hans van der Meer 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

The \doiffile macros recognize the existence of a file but, unless I am mistaken, not the existence of a directory. Is there another macro, whose existence I have nof found yet, that offers this capability? Or should this be a slight encouragement to expand the implementation in that direction? dr.

Question to sectioning
by Tomas Hala 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

Hello, I have got a document with e.g. six chapters, numbers are from 1 to 6. At special places I would like put a special page containing a special title. The special page should be without a header and without any number, the title should be put into the contents by the same way as other chapters.. I came across two problems: First, in the minimal example below I get chapter numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and if I use incrementnumber=no, the "specialpage" is not stored in the contents. Secondly, I do know how to switch off the header only at this special page. I also tried \definehead[specialpage][title] but in this case the "specialpage" is not stored in the contents, too. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for the help in advance, Tomáš % TL2017 \definehead[specialpage][chapter] \definehead[levelA][chapter] \setuphead[specialpage][number=no] %,incrementnumber=no] \starttext \definecombinedlist[mycontent][levelA,specialpage][level=chapter] \completemycontent \levelA{A1} \levelA{A2} \specialpage{Special page 1} \levelA{A3} \levelA{A4} \specialpage{Special page 2} \levelA{A5} \levelA{A6} \stoptext

MWE: \usemodule[units] \starttext help \stoptext The attached log says there is a problem on line 42 of m-units.mkiv. Any help would be appreciated. -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

Installing a specific version of context
by N. Raghavendra 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

I would like to install the version of context dated 2017.11.14. How can one do this? I tried sh first-setup.sh --context=2017.11.14 but it produces errors like rsync: change_dir "/current/context/2017.11.14" (in minimals) failed: No such file or directory (2) I'd appreciate suggestions about this. Thanks, Raghu. -- N. Raghavendra <raghu(a)hri.res.in>, http://www.retrotexts.net/ Harish-Chandra Research Institute, http://www.hri.res.in/

xmlpos not enough for me
by Hans van der Meer 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

The macro \xmlpos{#1} returns the position number of the current node in its parent. However, I would like to know the position number in its parent for the node with the same tag. An example of what I mean: <parent> <somenode></somenode > <node>inside it \xmlpos{#1} will return 2 but I would like 1> <somenode></somenode > <somenode></somenode > <node>inside it \xmlpos{#1} will return 5 but I would like 2> </parent> Can this be accomplished already or does it require a new API? dr.
