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)

avoiding two lines on last page
by Alan Bowen 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Occasionally, one of my components (chapters) ends with only two lines on the last page. Since space is at a premium, I was wondering if there is a way to encourage ConTeXt to put these two lines on the preceding page. I do not have a mwe, so any tips about strategies and commands to consider will be much appreciated. Alan

vertical alignment of images in Natural Table
by Martin Althoff 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

Apologies if this is a double posting. But my first mail never appeared on the list. Hello, I am trying to vertically align images within a bTABLE/Natural Table cell. The result should be 4 cards on an A4 page with a simple maths exercise and a small image that illustrates the exercise. The image should be horizontally and vertically centered within the space after the text. Exercise text and image size vary somewhat, so a fixed placement is not possible. I have tried \vfill, but it seems to have no effect in a Natural Table. Similarly, \placefigure has not worked for me. As basic layout I am using a Natural Table (4 x 4 cells per page, 12 pages), maybe not the best solution. Alternative suggestions are most welcome. Suggestions would be much appreciated. Martin \starttext \setupTABLE[frame=on,offset=2mm] \setupTABLE[c][1,2][width=.5\textwidth] \setupTABLE[r][1,2][height=.5\textheight] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD 7·3 apples are on a tree. Anne picks 4·3 apples. \blank[.5em] How many apples remain on the tree? \framed[align={low,middle},location=lohi,width=local]{\externalfigure[apple]} \eTD \eTABLE \stoptext

Math: Spacing around colons
by Weber, Matthias 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

Dear List, I need a binary math operator with narrower spacing then the default. My feeble attempts below all lead to the same spacing except for the last one which however is not symmetric. Thanks for any hints!

Problems with setfirstline
by Rik Kabel 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Setfirstline does not seem to be working well with most fonts, perhaps all. The example below shows the issue. \define \Fonts {libertinus,ebgaramond,termes,antykwa, cambria,minion,bonum,heros,pagella,iwona} \define[1] \Setupbodyfont{\setupbodyfont[#1,11pt]} \define[1] \DisplayExample{\switchtobodyfont[#1]\getbuffer} \setupfirstline [alternative=line, style=\setfontfeature{smallcaps}] \setupinitial [location=text,n=2,color=darkred] \setuphead [chapter][ after={\blank[big]\setfirstline\setinitial}] \setuphead [section][continue=yes, after=\setfirstline] \startbuffer \startchapter[title=Initial and first line: \Word{\fontclass}] \startparagraph \input darwin \stopparagraph \startsection[title=First line only] \startparagraph \input montgomery \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input sapolsky \stopparagraph \stopsection \stopchapter \stopbuffer \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Fonts]\Setupbodyfont \starttext \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Fonts]\DisplayExample \stoptext -- Rik

Is this a bug in header marking?
by Rik Kabel 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

As a followup to my query on suppressing header marking, I have prepared an example which clearly shows odd, if not buggy behavior. The book places chapter openings on recto pages which follow a verso that may have an epigraph. When there is no epigraph, the blank verso is properly unmarked by a header, but when there is an epigraph, the header from the previous chapter appears on the page. How can I eliminate this orphan header? \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=] \setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[section]}] [{\it\getmarking[chapter]}][] \starttexdefinition unexpanded startSectionEpigraph \dostartbuffer [SectionEpigraph] [startSectionEpigraph][stopSectionEpigraph] \stoptexdefinition \setuphead [chapter][ beforesection=\setups{chapter:epigraph}] \startsetups chapter:epigraph \page[yes,left]% same result with yes,header,footer,left \doifelsebuffer{SectionEpigraph} {\getbuffer[SectionEpigraph] \resetbuffer[SectionEpigraph]} {\donothing} \page[yes,header,footer,right] \stopsetups \starttext \completecontent \startfrontmatter \startchapter[title=Preface] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \startchapter[title=Chapter First] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \startSectionEpigraph Why does this page have the heading from the previous chapter? \stopSectionEpigraph \startchapter[title=Chapter Second] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \startSectionEpigraph Look up! \stopSectionEpigraph \startchapter[title=Chapter Third] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter Final] \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \stoptext -- Rik
