Why does \hsize revert to \textwidth after a page and a paragraph? \starttext \hsize200pt \dorecurse{60}{\recurselevel: \the\hsize\ \the\textwidth\par} \stoptext -- Rik

Hi all, \showsetup{\starttitle} shows the option 'ownnumber" with a TEXT-value. I don't know what this option is good for. juh

Strange spurious character
by Otared Kavian 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

Hi Hans, After having updated my installation of ConTeXt, I noticed the presence of a spurious « ß » character at the top of every document, or sometimes in the footer, or in the header. Also in the example below the text is typeset with bold italic, even though there is no request for it. Here is a minimal example: %%%% begin bug-beta.tex \definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][palatino] \definefontfamily[mainface][sans][palatino] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext Why is there a « ß » LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S above? Why is the text in bold italic? \stoptext %%%% end bug-beta.tex Best regards: OK

Thank you and sorry for the noise. Christoph

bug in \directsetup?
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \placebookmarks[chapter, section][chapter, section] \startsetups[placesect] \start \setupinterlinespace [line=2.8ex] \placelist [section] [alternative=d, numbersegments=section, pagenumber=no, style=\itx] \par \stop \stopsetups \setuplist [chapter] [before={\blank[medium]}, after=\directsetup{placesect}] \starttext \placelist[chapter] \dorecurse{5}{\chapter{Knuth}\input knuth \dorecurse{8}{\section{Zapf}\input zapf}} \stoptext I need the \directsetup to be able to set up a different interline space in the section list from TOC. I’m using latest beta from 2016.11.17 14:19. There is a weird behaviour: the links from TOC for the first sections reach the chapter title an not the section title. All other sections have their right destinations from the table of contents. And bookmarks for first sections have also the right destinations. Of course, this would work as expected, if I avoided the \directsetup (having a wrong interline space). If this isn’t a bug, what am I missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Extract only certain part of document (via modes)?
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Dear list, and in particular Hans, I asked the same question on stackexchange before today (http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/337738/52406) and got the answer that what I want to do might not be possible. In my large document I have exercises (typeset with \startexercise \stopexercise, defined as an enumeration). Is it possible to use modes (or any other trick) to be able to compile the same file and get only the exercises. For example, context file.tex should give the full document, while context --mode=exercises file.tex should give only all the exercises (or just everything "in one mode")? /Mikael

table and \setuptables questions
by Csikos Bela 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Dear list members: Last time I sent this message to the wrong thread accidentally. Now I send it again, hopefully to a new thread. I have this simple table: \starttext \placetable[here]{title}{ \setuptables[bodyfont=8pt,rulethickness=0.04em] \start \setuplocalinterlinespace[2.2ex] \starttable[|lp(5cm)|lp(5cm)|cp(2cm)|] \HL[2] \NC \bf First Column \NC \bf Second Column \NC \bf Third Column \NC \SR \HL \NC Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur massa turpis, semper quis fringilla ut, viverra nec risus. \NC Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. \NC Lorem ipsum \NC \SR \HL \NC Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus \NC Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus \NC Pellentesque \NC \SR \HL \NC Donec nunc lorem, sollicitudin vel sodales eget \NC Donec nunc lorem, sollicitudin vel sodales eget Donec nunc lorem, sollicitudin vel sodales eget \NC Donec \NC \SR \HL[2] \stoptable \stop} \stoptext I have some questions related to the above table. 1. How can I set the distance between the text (in rows) and the rule above and below the text, separately? I find that the rules are too close to the text. I tried \setuptables' height and depth options but those are not what I need. (For example the depth option adds extra space in rows where it is unnecessary.) What are height and depth options are for exactly? 2. Can \setuptables[bodyfont=...] option use font sizes as \tfa, \tfb, \tfc, \tfx, \tfxx, or point size has to be set explicitly? 3. What is the distance option in \setuptables? Thank you in advance, bcsikos

copyfont and font features
by Ulrike Fischer 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

This comes from a tex.sx question https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/338942/cancellation-of-color-fontsp… The primitive \copyfont looses with open type fonts all font features: \starttext \font\testa={Arial:mode=node;script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;+smcp;} {\testa abc -- } normal \copyfont\testb\testa {\testb abc -- } normal \stoptext As one can see \testb has neither ligatures nor it is in small caps. Is this a bug or to be expected? If the second: Is there in the fontloader a replacement which can be used to copy fonts? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Nested modes and itemizations
by Christoph Reller 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hi, I have the following minimal not-working example: \starttext \startitemize \item One \startmode[modeA] \item Two \startitemize \startmode[modeB] % <- this \item Two A % <- does \stopmode % <- not work % \doifmode{modeB}{\item Two A} % <- this works \item Two B \stopitemize \stopmode \stopitemize \stoptext Note that both modeA and modeB are not defined and hence not enabled. When compiled with the latest version of ConTeXt MkIV, I get: Missing number, treated as zero. However, If I use the inline version \doifmode instead of the environment version \startmode \stopmode, then the example compiles without problem. I am afraid but this may be a bug. Cheers, Christoph

Pdf info: width, height and rotation
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hello, two questions about pages in PDF document (slightly refers to the code http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg57502.html) ---- local MyDocument = lpdf.epdf.load("A4.pdf") context.starttext() local pages = MyDocument.pages local dummy = MyDocument.pages[1] -- we need lua 5.2 in order to avoid this local nofpages = #MyDocument.pages context.starttabulate { "|c|c|c|" } context.NC() context("page") context.NC() context("width") context.NC() context("height") context.NR() for i=1, nofpages do local page = pages[i] local bbox = page.CropBox or page.MediaBox context.NC() context(i) context.NC() context(bbox[4]-bbox[2]) context.NC() context(bbox[3]-bbox[1]) context.NR() end context.stoptabulate() context.stoptext() ---- The sample gives: w ~ 842 pt, h ~ 595 pt Questions: 1. Shouldn't be width and height swapped? As the analyzed 'A4.pdf' has width of 210 mm and height of 297 mm, IOW width < height, whilst the cld code gives w > h (?!). 2. Is it possible to get rotation or orientation of the page (be "portrait" or "landscape" or "0" or "90" or so)? 3. Is the 'bbox' already affected by the page rotation/orientation? I mean - in the case page orientation is 90 or 270, is the width and height of 'bbox' swapped compared to the situation if page orientation was 0 (or 180)? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
