Hello, Hans suggested a macro to draw the vectors . It works well but I find that in some situations, the arrow is too big. thank you, Fabrice https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085828.html \useMPlibrary[mat] \startMPextensions vardef math_stacker_arrow_shape = image ( drawarrow (OverlayWidth,OverlayOffset) -- (0,OverlayOffset) withcolor OverlayLineColor ; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture bottomenlarged (OverlayOffset/2) topenlarged (OverlayOffset/2) ; ) enddef ; vardef math_stacker_leftarrow_shape = math_stacker_arrow_shape enddef ; vardef math_stacker_rightarrow_shape = math_stacker_arrow_shape rotated 180 enddef ; \stopMPextensions \startuniqueMPgraphic{math:stacker:\number"2190} math_stacker_draw(math_stacker_leftarrow_shape) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \startuniqueMPgraphic{math:stacker:\number"2192} math_stacker_draw(math_stacker_rightarrow_shape) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic % so far \setupmathstackers [both] % vfenced] [color=darkred, alternative=mp] \setupmathstackers [top] [color=darkred, alternative=mp] \setupmathstackers [bottom] [color=darkred, alternative=mp] \starttext $\overrightarrow {i}$ \stoptext

I think you need to use \insertpages instead. Check this out: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/insertpages Andrés Conrado Montoya http://chiquitico.org

Placing of integral limits
by Mathias Schickel 25 May '17

25 May '17

Dear list, I think that the placement of the indices of integrals has some issues, at least in some fonts. If you try \setupbodyfont[cambria] % \starttext % \startformula % \int\nolimits_a^b f % \stopformula % \stoptext or if you replace Cambria by Stix Two using \setupbodyfont[stixtwo], you will notice that the index a is placed a little too far away form the integral sign. The reference is the „exponent“ b and the Word output. I think the Word output should be the reference here because the font design of Cambria is done by Microsoft and Word supports the font as intended. Apart form that you see the very same effect using Latin Modern and this font should look similar to Computer Modern in LaTeX. Best regards Mathias

\start pagefigure not working as expected
by cryo shock 25 May '17

25 May '17

Hi guys, I created a CTX document and now I am trying to merge it with two other pages from another (already compiled) pdf document. Usually I did this job with PDF Split And Merge software, but if CTX (mkiv, LuaTeX) is capable of doing the job, I'd be glad to use CTX instead. On the wiki I found a code snippet that sounds promising, as I don't want headers, page numbers etc. on the two merged pages: \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure So I added another line with page=2 as content, yet the output generates a PDF with the *first page twice* only. In fact, my precompiled doc has 3 pages, of which I want the first two only in my new PDF, even when I use the following code, LuaTeX generates the first page of the precompiled PDF *three times*: \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=3]\stoppagefigure \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=1]\stoppagefigure \startpagefigure[file.pdf][page=5]\stoppagefigure Like I mentioned: even although there is no 5th page in file.pdf, LuaTeX pastes the first page three times... Am I overlooking something or was there some undocumented change to the code? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

issue with signature field
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 May '17

25 May '17

Dear list, some time ago, Hans implemented signature fields: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \definefield[x][signature] \field[x] \stoptext I’m afraid I’m not able to sign it using Acrobat 9.5.5, which is the latest version released for Linux. Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 is able to sign this document: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=11678 (and https://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=11707) I guess it may not be the cause, but which is the way to force the document to be written in PDF version 1.6? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

setupitemgroup and 'command='
by Thomas Floeren 24 May '17

24 May '17

Hi, I used to use the “command=” parameter when setting up itemize. Now I noticed that it introduces a spurious horizontal whitespace after the item symbol when the item is of type “\sym{}”. I also noticed that the problem goes away if I use “inner=” instead of “command=”. Example: \setuppapersize [A6] \starttext \start \setupitemize [each][command={\setupwhitespace[none]}] With \type{\command=} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{20}{bla } \sym{Y} \dorecurse{20}{bla } \stopitemize \stop \setupitemize [each][inner={\setupwhitespace[none]}] With \type{\inner=} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{20}{bla } \sym{Y} \dorecurse{20}{bla } \stopitemize \stoptext This is with ConTeXt 2017.05.15 21:48. With an older ConTeXt, for example 2015.01.13 15:54, “inner=” and “command=” deliver identical, correct results. So, I’m asking, has “command=” been deprecated or is it just a bug? Or was I using it the wrong way, and “inner=” is the only correct parameter in the example above? Thanks for any info, Best wishes, – Tom -- For macOS: http://dflect.net/context-typeset-tool/

APA Bibliographic refs. | Hyphenated first names | Lower case first letter of Title

Dear list, I have been cleaning up the following proof-of-concept edition set with ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.15 21:48 MKIV beta: http://indica-et-buddhica.org/siksasamuccaya-progresse-bodhisattva-concept.… On the whole I'm very pleased but I'm noticing something odd with the APA typesetting. This can be seen on concept:226 & 229. Here is my set up followed by the BibTeX refs.: % Bibliographic referencing \usebtxdataset[thesis-clean-k-final.bib] \setupbtx[default:cite][alternative=num] \setupbtx[apa:cite][alternative=authoryear,compress=yes] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \definebtxrendering[apa][specification=apa,sorttype=authoryear,numbering=no] \setupbtxlist[apa][alternative=paragraph,width=325pt,maxwidth=325pt,distance=.5em,margin=3em,align={hz,hanging}] 1.) For Hans-Georg and Jens-Uwe I'm getting H. -G. & J. -U. not H.-G. & J.-U.: @Book{gadamer:truth, author = "Hans-Georg Gadamer", title = "Truth and Method", publisher = "Seabury Press", shorttitle = "Truth", year = 1975, address = "New York", key = "gadamer:75", } @InCollection{klaus:einige, author = "K.

change width of a character with fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature
by Ulrike Fischer 19 May '17

19 May '17

In extensions-001.tex (http://minimals.metatex.org/current/context/test/doc/context/tests/mkiv/fon…) there is an example how to add or change the kern between two chars: fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "ktest", type = "kern", data = { a = { b = -500 }, } } Can this be used to implement also a "Single adjustment positioning" which would effectivly change the width of character? (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko/topic_feature_file_syntax.html#6…) (I tried a few probable variants but got either errors or no effect at all). -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

\doifmode error with question blocks
by Jan Willem Flamma 18 May '17

18 May '17

Dear list members If using modes to show or hide certain part of the text. In the MWE below the part between the startmode[test] .. stopmode works jus fine. When using the \doifmode construction an error is produced on the position of the closing curly bracket. I prefer to use \doifmode constructions because they can be nested. The question block must play a role here but I don’t know why. Am I overlooking something here? Kind regards, Jan Willem Flamma ======== \enablemode[test] \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \starttext \doifmode{test}{ \input knuth \beginquestion \startquestion Question \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer Answer \stopanswer \endanswer } \startmode[test] \input knuth \beginquestion \startquestion Question \stopquestion \endquestion \beginanswer \startanswer Answer \stopanswer \endanswer \stopmode \stoptext
