by Martin Oppegaard 24 Jun '17

24 Jun '17

Hi, When placing an initial and the paragraph is short, the initial is laid over the next paragraph. Example: \starttext \placeinitial Knuth writes: \input knuth \stoptext Is there anything to do about this? Regards, Martin Oppegaard

TikZ module not found (TeX Live problem?)
by Gerion Entrup 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Good day, I'm very new to ConTeXt, so maybe this is a fairly simple question. I want to use TikZ in the document. The specific part of the document is: ---- snip ---- \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[positioning] ---- /snip ----- The problem seems to be that ConTeXt does not find the TikZ module. I use mkiv. The relevant output: ---- snip ----- % context test-document.tex mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/gerion/.texlive/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/0399a8df3aef8d154781d0a9c2b8e28d/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="test-document" --lua="/home/gerion/.texlive/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/0399a8df3aef8d154781d0a9c2b8e28d/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test-document.tex" --c:input="./test-document.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version 1.0.4 (TeX Live 2017) system commands enabled. open source > 1 > 1 > /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV current fmt: 2017.6.11 int: english/english system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > 2 > 2 > /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv close source > 2 > 2 > /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv system > files > jobname 'test-document', input './test-document', result 'test-document' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > 2 > 3 > /home/gerion/sourcecode/grisu/test-document/test-document.tex colors > 'rgb' color space is supported colors > 'cmyk' color space is supported resolvers > modules > 'tikz' is not found tex error > tex error on line 6 in file /home/gerion/sourcecode/test-document/test-document.tex: !

Is this a problem of TeX Live (or the distribution packaging)? I've looked in the installed files of texlive-context and other modules are installed, even modules that require TikZ (eg. gantt). Thanks in advance, Gerion

question about STIX fonts (versions one and two)
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupbodyfont[stixtwo] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext Even if \setupbodyfont[stix] is used, I don’t get any text. The fonts seem to be missing. I have checked this with a new ConTeXt Suite install and the same results. Are the STIX fonts distributed with the ConTeXt Suite? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Log message "Unknown filter 'DCTDecode'"
by Christoph Reller 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Hi, In recent versions of ConTeXt/luatex, I observe the following log entry: Syntax Error (77727): Unknown filter 'DCTDecode' This happens if the document includes JPEG images, e.g: \starttext \externalfigure[hacker.jpg] \stoptext The output PDF looks, however, fine. Does this message have any significance? Cheers, Christoph

Re: [NTG-context] typesetting serial letters in Context
by r.ermers＠hccnet.nl 18 Jun '17

18 Jun '17

Dear Context’ers, I am trying to use the letter module in mkiv for typesetting serial letters from an xml database. Thanks, Thomas for looking into this. I appreciate it very much. Yet I don’t know either whether I actually need the letter module, but it seemed reasonable to try this first. Today I tried to insert some simple luatex code which I found on another forum. The results are promising: a. The address appears. b. The salutation + formalname also appear. Yet there are some problems: 1. the address elements appear in one line, not underneath as desired, 2. When I add text such as Knuth or references to the database, Context stops. See the code below. My question at this point is: how can I proceed? Do I actually need the letter module? Kind regards, Robert \usemodule[letter] \starttext \startbuffer[participants] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <document> <contacts> <contact class='participant' label='Hendriks'> <formalname>Hendriks</formalname> <informalname>Karel</informalname> <prefix>mr.</prefix> <initials>K.</initials> <courselevel>levelA</courselevel> <coursedate>1 june 2017</coursedate> <city>Arnhem</city> <address> Mr. K.

There appears to be some sort of incompatibility between the letter module and xml, but I guess only Wolfgang (the author of the module) can really say what's going on. If you want to typeset simple letters, maybe you can bypass the module? > > Thomas

Choosing font range
by Hans Åberg 17 Jun '17

17 Jun '17

Is it possible have say Pagella in math, and also in \tt except for the ASCII range, where a monospace font is used? (Both for largely untranslated Unicode points.)

STIX vs XITS
by Hans Åberg 17 Jun '17

17 Jun '17

It says that XITS is an OpenType version of STIX on [1], but the latter now supports it. Does that mean that one can now use the latter directly? 1. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math_fonts

Selecting font for \starttyping

How does one choose font for \starttyping? It is apparently different from that of \tt.

compressing register ranges
by Florian Grammel 16 Jun '17

16 Jun '17

Using [compress=all] for registers yields somewhat puzzling results (1.0.4 (TeX Live 2017)). I would expect the register of the following code to become one single range "1--7", though context produces "1--2, 3--7". Is this the expected behaviour? And if so: is there another switch to get the ranges to be collapsed completely? Also: There wouldn't be a shorthand to define explicit ranges? LaTeX has \index{Demorange|(} to \index{Demorange|)} which is actually very convenient. Best regards, Florian. \defineregister [demo] [demoes] \starttext 1 \demo{Demorange} \page[yes] 2 \demo{Demorange} \page[yes] 3 \startregister[demo][demorange]{Demorange} \page[yes] 4 \demo{Demorange} \page[yes] 5 \page[yes] 6 \stopregister[demo][demorange] \page[yes] 7 \demo{Demorange} \page[yes] \placeregister [demo] [compress=all] \stoptext ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark
