Bug regarding placement and size of primes
by Mathias Schickel 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Dear Hans, the newest beta (I have updated some hours ago) contains again some bugs regarding the size and placement of primes. You can verify that by using the following minimal example (created to show some older bugs being resolved meanwhile): %%%%%%% \starttext % Compare $f'$ to $(f')$ and to $f''$, $(f'')$, $f^{''}$ and $(f^{''})$. % \startformula % \int\nolimits_a^b \bigl(\|f(x)\|\bigr)\, {\mathrm d}x % \stopformula % \stoptext %%%%%%% The output is attached. The primes are obviously rendered too small. And while $f'$ seems to lead to a placement of the prime a little too low, $f^{'}$ seems to cause the prime being placed too high. Best Mathias

Typesetting all documents in a project
by Mike O'Connor 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hello all, I'm setting up a new project structure, and having trouble when I typeset the project file in TeXShop with engine ConTeXt (LuaTeX). The console report includes... close source > level 2, order 7, name '/Users/mhoc/Documents/projects/histories/history-earlyMidWest/proj-git/context/project_guide.tex' system > invalid \starttext ... \stoptext structure and further down... mkiv lua stats > result saved in file: project_guide.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 3 The claimed output “project_guide.pdf” does not materialise (nor should it). Instead I hoped typesetting "project_guide.tex" would create a PDF of each product mentioned i.e. "prd_guide" in this case ; a way of generating in one action all outputs for a project. I saw the same result in the TexLive 2017 version, but the above messages are from the latest beta: My ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.15 21:48 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.6.10 Grateful for any hints about where I'm going wrong. Mike ----- project_guide.tex ----- \startproject project_guide \environment env_guide \product prd_guide \stopproject ----- prd_guide.tex ----- \startproduct prd_guide \project project_guide \environment env_guide2 \startfrontmatter \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \component c_guide.tex \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \stopbackmatter \stopproduct ----- c_guide.tex ----- \startcomponent c_guide \project project_guide \starttext \startchapter[title={Chapter 1}] Chapter 1 begins here. \stopchapter \stoptext \stopcomponent

problem loading attachments (important for my work)
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Jun '17

11 Jun '17

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=attachment] \setuppapersize[A5, landscape] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext File: \attachment[file={h:/general-documents/document.pdf}] \stoptext I’m afraid that the file exists and ConTeXt in Win10 (64bit) isn’t able to load the file. ConTeXt loads \attachment[file=document.pdf], but not documents with paths. Could anyone confirm the issue in Windows? This is important for my work. BTW, if you don’t want to invoke "net use", "subst" may do the trick (https://ss64.com/nt/subst.html) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

splitting a landscape table with local footnotes
by Alan Bowen 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

I have a very long table (landscape) with local footnotes that I wish to split over two pages so that (a) the table is on a verso page and (b) the notes on the next recto page. Any suggestions about how to do this will be gratefully received. Here is a MWE that is not too small, I hope. \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=characters] \startlocalfootnotes \setupTABLE[frame=off,split=yes] \setupTABLE[c][1,2,3,4,5,6][roffset=.3pc] \setupTABLE[c][2,3,4,5,6,7][loffset=.3pc] \startplacetable[title={Hellenistic calendars}, location={page,header,high,90}] %leftpage does not seem to work {\setbox\scratchbox\vbox{% \bTABLE \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD \eTD \bTD Babylonian\eTD \bTD Greek\eTD \bTD Egyptian\eTD \bTD Roman\eTD \bTD Judaean% \footnote{\input knuth}\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE} \par \hsize\wd\scratchbox \box\scratchbox \par \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes} \stopplacetable \stoptext Alan

Position of prime for derivatives
by Otared Kavian 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Hi Hans, Thanks for having fixed the behavior of the prime in the latest beta release (ConTeXt version 2017.05.15 21:48). However, as you may see in the two attached PDF files, the result is still incorrect when one types for example $f_2’’(x)$, which should give the same result as $f’’_2(x)$. The correct behaviour is that obtained with mkii. Indeed one can circumvent the behaviour of the latest beta release of mkiv by using tricks such as the ones in the example code below, but this should be avoided in my opinion. The following PDF have been obtained with mkii and mkiv with the following example code. Best regards: OK %%% begin derivatives-prime.tex \starttext \startformula f''_{2}(x) = f_{2}''(x) = f^{''}_{2}(x) = f_{2}^{''}(x) % = f^{{}^{''}}_{2}(x) \stopformula As one may see the result of \type{f_{2}''(x) = } $f_{2}''(x)$ is not correct in \type{mkiv}. The following positions of the superscripts \type{(3)} are correct both in \type{mkii} and in \type{mkiv}. \startformula f^{(3)}_{2}(x) = f_{2}^{(3)}(x) \stopformula \stoptext %%% end derivatives-prime.tex

Misnamed parameter in \setuppagenumbering?
by Henri Menke 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Dear list, On TeX.SX there was a question about why ConTeXt starts the document with a left instead of a right page. Turns out the OP merely confused "marginedge" with "inmargin". However, that made me wonder, is "marginedge" perhaps misnamed when it does not place the pagenumber in the margin close to the edge of the page? I think it should be named "marginspine" instead. The below MWE should illustrate the problem. Cheers, Henri --- \setuppagenumbering [ alternative=doublesided, location={footer,marginedge}, ] \starttext Behold the pagenumber on the left \stoptext

change image resolution
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Ahoi, the old unofficial lua module grph-downsample doesn’t seem to work anymore (with latest MkIV), don’t know when it stopped working and what the problem is – at least my pictures aren’t found any more if I load that file (\loadluafile[grph-downsample]). Is there a different/better/newer way of downsampling pictures?

how to prevent stupid typos?
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext This is \linenote{abed intended. \stoptext >From which I get the error: close source > level 2, order 3, name '/home/ousia/untitled.tex' close source > level 1, order 3, name '/home/ousia/ctxbeta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' * tex error > tex error on line 0 in file : ! Emergency stop <*> cont-yes.mkiv <empty file> End of file on the terminal! Would it be any way to make ConTeXt report that \linenote{ hasn’t been closed? I mean, with a three line source, it is stupid to get this. But in a longer file, it can be an exhausting task. The scenario may be worse. At work I have a system to generate some documents (mainly letters) automatically. I have to add an option (which I didn’t find the time to fully implement it). The system uses ConTeXt and there are about 30 source files. Depending on the options you need, the main file requires the other files (via modes and \input commands). Well, in this context (no pun intended), I get an error such as this: open source > level 3, order 4, name 'untitled.tex' But the source isn’t closed. I don’t have the files here, but I don’t know even how to start searching. In this second case, how could I get a hint of what is ConTeXt expecting? May thanks fory your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

mathradical defaults to "normal", should it perhaps be "default"?
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Hi, this might be a matter of taste. look at the output of (attached). In my opinion the first square root is to "high", while it looks better on the second line. From setup-en.pdf it looks like the default of \setupmathradical is set to normal (and not default). I don't understand what normal should mean, but I think the alternative=default looks better. (The lucida fonts are loaded in this example, since the effect is more clear for them). /Mikael \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2pt] \startformula \sqrt{1+x^2}\neq \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \stopformula %the default setting for mathradical seems to be "normal". We change it to "normal" \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default] \startformula \displaystyle\sqrt{1+x^2}\neq \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \stopformula \stopTEXpage \stoptext
