Opentype feature and "aligncharacter=yes"
by Jose Luis Arellano 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Hello list. I want to report a very annoying issue when one use oldstyle numbers by default. You can check the result in the following MWE: %\definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes] \definefontfeature[lnum][tnum=yes,lnum=yes] \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[alignmentcharacter={text->.},aligncharacter=yes,align=middle,style={\feature[+][lnum]}] \bTR \bTD 1.23456789 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 12.3456789 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 123.456789 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext As you can see, when you uncomment the line above, "aligncharacter" has no effect. Thanks guys.

Creating cloze texts
by Florian Leupold 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Dear list, I would like to create cloze texts for my students with ConTeXt. Ideally, I would have a command \cloze[<width>]{<solution>} with the following functionality: 1) \cloze{<solution>} would insert an underlined gap in the text with a width of (say) 1.3 times the width of solution and puts the solution on top of it with centered alignment. I will then color the text read if the mode is ‘teacher’ and in white if not. 2) \cloze[<width>]{<solution>} would do the same, but with a fixed width of the underline. The solution should then be flush left, maybe with a horizontal space of \quad. 3) The underline should allow for line breaks and hyphenation, but not such that only empty space is broken into the next line of left in the previous (see MNWE). In this way, the student’s and teacher’s versions of the script will look exactly the same, except for the visible solution in the teacher’s version. The macro \underbar does a good job in terms of line breaks and hyphenation. But it is "too smart" in the sense that it does not underline horizontal spaces. The MNWE below showcases problems with my naive attempts to achieve underlining: - CLOZE 1 does not have any extra space. - CLOZE 2 does not underline the horizontal spaces. - CLOZE 3 does not show the underline, supposedly because the first text elements in it are white. - CLOZE 4 shows that introducing fake characters is not a good idea anyways because the cloze is broken without any “real” solution in the first line. - CLOZE 5 shows the same for trailing space. MNWE: \starttext \input ward \underbar{\color[red]{CLOZE 1}} \input ward \underbar{\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 2}\quad} \input ward \underbar{\color[white]{x}\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 3}\quad\color[white]{x}} \input ward \underbar{\color[green]{x}\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 4}\quad\color[white]{x}} \input ward space \underbar{\color[red]{CLOZE 5}\qquad\color[white]{x}} space \input ward \stoptext I would greatly appreciate help with this problem. Thanks so much in advance! Florian

[NTG-Context] Problem with \usemodule[graph] and El Capitan (mac OS)
by Louis-solal Giboin 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Dear all, I have updated my OS to El Capitan, and all my scripts including MPgraph functions such as gdata do not work anymore (script without such functions are working without any trouble). Would someone know how to get rid of this issue? I thank you very much. a short code sample: x:=u*1cm; a1:=6; a2:=5; hauteury:=a1*y; echelleMEP:=1/10*hauteury/a2; gdata("explexpl.d",s, y1:= scantokens(s1); y2:= scantokens(s2); draw (7.5*x, y1*echelleMEP)--(8.5*x, y2*echelleMEP) withcolor 0.6 white; ); Cheers!

Figure-text alignment and wrapping text more tightly
by Florian Leupold 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Dear list, I am interested in placing a figure on the right-hand side of the page and wrap text around it, see MWE below. This works mostly nicely. But I have got three questions: 1) Is it possible to top-align the figure with the first line of the paragraph to its left? 2) Is there a way to reduce the vertical gap between the first and second figures? 3) The keyword “low” for \placefigure seems to have an effect. But I don’t know why and could not find a reference to that in contextref.pdf. Is this the correct way to wrap text “more tightly” below the figure (compare second and third figures). Thanks a lot for your input. Best regards, Florian MWE: \setupexternalfigures[order={pdf,png,jpg}, location={local,global,default}] \starttext \useexternalfigure[figure][mill] \placefigure[right, none]{}{\externalfigure[figure]} \input ward \placefigure[right, none]{}{\externalfigure[figure]} \input ward \input ward \input ward \placefigure[right, low, none]{}{\externalfigure[figure]} \input ward \input ward \input ward \stoptext

Problem finding 'cow'
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hello, it seems my ConTeXt doesn't find its own 'cow.pdf'. The file is located in c:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\sample\common\cow.pdf when the whole ConTeXt is located in c:\Ctx-Beta\tex\ My resulting .pdf shows no image; and also there is no info in the .log where ConTeXt tried to find the image. How to tell ConTeXt where to look for "installed-in" images? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Caption placement in margin
by Henri Menke 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Dear list, I was trying to place float captions in the margin, which according to setup-en.pdf should work with location=outermargin, but it doesn't. The MWE below reproduces this on TL 2016 and on http://live.contextgarden.net/. Please fix. Cheers, Henri --- \setupfloatcaption [figure] [location=outermargin] \starttext \placefigure [top] {The famous dutch cow!} {\externalfigure[cow]} \stoptext
