confusing columns balancing results
by Floris van Manen 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

When i try to use five balanced columns on a landscape page, i get unexpected results. \setuppapersize[A4, landscape] \setupbodyfont[8pt] \language[fr] \setupcolumns[ n=5, distance=4mm, balance=yes, tolerance=tolerant] \setupfootertexts[][] \setuplayout[ backspace=10mm, width=277mm, height=fit, topspace=10mm, header=0mm, top=0mm, footer=0mm, bottom=0mm] \setuppagenumber[state=none] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \definelayout[WithoutMarginnotes][ location={duplex}, grid=no, topspace=1cm, height=19cm, backspace=1cm, cutspace=0cm, leftmargin=0cm, leftmargindistance=0.4cm, width=fit, rightmargindistance=0cm, rightmargin=0cm] \setuplayout[WithoutMarginnotes] \setuphead[section][ align=normal, style=\tfa\ss, before={\blank}, after={\blank[2pt]}] When using balance=no the page is properly typeset \setupcolumns[ n=5, distance=4mm, balance=no, tolerance=tolerant] When using balance=yes It looks as if the page orientation became portrait mode, as the text disappears at the bottom of the page. \setupcolumns[ n=5, distance=4mm, balance=yes, tolerance=tolerant] Some hints as how to proceed? Thanks .Floris van Manen

whitespace between endnotes
by Meer, Hans van der 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

\placenotes[endnote] puts a list of endnotes spaced out with the setting of \setupwhitespace. Is there a means to keep \setupwhitespace undisturbed but changing this for the endnotes alone? Some parameter to be specified in \setupnote, \setupnotation or one of its friends perhaps? Hans van der Meer

Breaking formulas
by Mathias Schickel 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

Dear List, I am not sure if the file that I have prepared to sum up some of the problems of the actual implementation of auto breaking of formulas has reached the list. This time I will send only the context file to avoid too large files. Best Mathias

lua error when --synctex is used
by Ulrike Fischer 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

When I run a minimal context file with the -synctex-switch context --synctex context-test.tex then I get a lua error: lua error > lua error on line 1 in file C:/Users/XXX/Documents/tests/contexttext/context-test.tex: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/node-syn.lua:490: attempt to call upvalue 'collect' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/node-syn.lua:490: in function 'luatex_synctex_collect' [string "local nodes_references_handler = nodes.refere..."]:14: in function <[string "local nodes_references_handler = nodes.refere..."]:7> (...tail calls...) 1 >> \starttext 2 context text 3 \stoptext Without the synctex switch there is no problem. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

figure numbering S3, S4, S6, ...
by Thomas Möbius 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Dear list, I am compiling some figures as supplementary material and would like to have figure captions follow the convention: Figure S3 Figure S4 Figure S5 ... and I need that the numbering starts with S3 instead of S1. How can I achieve this? Minimal example: \setuppapersize[A6] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \setupcaptions[way=bytext] \placefigure {Cow} {\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]} \placefigure {Another Cow} {\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}

No cross-references in scrollmode
by Andreas Becker 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Hello, when I pipe a file to context, it cannot resolve references, e. g. to figures or chapters: cat source.tex | context --pipe Instead of the number, "??" is printed in the PDF document. A minimal example is: \ref[reference] \placefigure[][reference]{}{} The command line output is like this: [...] mtx-context | entering scrollmode, end job with \endThis is LuaTeX, Version 0.95.0 (TeX Live 2016/Arch Linux) system commands enabled. [...] * * *(Please type a command or say `\end') *structure > sectioning > title @ level 2 : 0.0 -> Si(111) preparation *(Please type a command or say `\end') * * * * * * * * * *references > unknown reference '[][fig:si-oxide]' [...] Kind regards, Andreas Becker
