different default size when imposing documents
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hans, after enabling image scaling in \insertpages (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/086114.html) I’m afraid that the default value and compatibility in imposition is broken. The minimal sample is the following: \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging [2UP] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option={landscape, paper}] \starttext \insertpages[whichever-document.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext Would it be possible to restore the width value to its previous default? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

The following link \goto{ http://brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/galileopalazzostrozzi/object/RegiomontanusJo… is broken because of the umlaut in the URL. Is some way around it so that the link works? I am using the latest beta standalone. Alan

Access stylistic sets in lucidaot
by Henri Menke 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear list, I have been using the Lucida fonts for long time with LaTeX, either the Type 1 version through the `lucimatx` package or the OpenType variants with `unicode-math`. In `unicode-math` there is a straightforward way to select stylistic sets, e.g. alternative calligraphic glyphs. By default the `lucidaot` typescript switches off the alternative math italics, but I found a way to reenable them (basically just undoing what the typescript does). > \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] > % get alternative math italics > \setupmathrendering[lucidaot][it=] > \starttext > $\mathcal{C} = f(x)$ > \stoptext I only found this by chance; \setupmathrendering is not documented. Is there a more intuitive way to select the alternative math italics? Also, is there an easy way to access all the other features defined in `lucida-opentype-math.lfg`? This is the list: > alternates = { > italic = { feature = 'ss01', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Lowercase Italic" }, > arrow = { feature = 'ss02', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Smaller Arrows" }, > operator = { feature = 'ss03', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Smaller Operators" }, > calligraphic = { feature = 'ss04', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Calligraphic Characters" }, > zero = { feature = 'ss05', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Zero" }, > partial = { feature = 'ss20', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Upright Partial Differential" }, > }, Cheers, Henri

Adjust rule between columns
by Henri Menke 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Dear list, Is there a way to adjust the vertical rule which is set between columns? I tried the obvious keys, but they do nothing. \starttext \startcolumns [ n=2, rule=on, rulecolor=red,% does nothing rulethickness=5pt,% does nothing ] \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext Furthermore, is there a possibility to control the appearance of the rule per column as in the following (fictitious) commands? \setupcolumns[1][rulecolor=red,rulethickness=5pt] \setupcolumns[2][rulecolor=green,rulethickness=1pt] Cheers, Henri

Wrap figures and equations
by Wolfgang Schuster 13 Jul '16

Hi Hans, the following problem is from StackExchange [1] which can only be solved by changing the value of the \c_strc_formulas_mode counter which can’t be the right answer for this. %\unprotected\c_strc_formulas_mode\zerocount \starttext \placefigure[right]{}{\blackrule[width=6cm,height=4cm]} \input ward \startformula d = vt \stopformula \input ward \stoptext [1] http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/319157/context-wrap-figures-with-tex… Wolfgang

Different colors in LaTeX and ConTeXt
by Henri Menke 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Dear list, I wanted to draw some nice pictures using TikZ and pgfplots, but then I noticed that the colors of the ticks in my pgfplots graph were unusually bright and it looked very weird. So I set up a test > \usemodule[tikz] > \starttext > \starttikzpicture > \draw[help lines,very thick] (0,0) -- (1,0); > \stoptikzpicture > > \externalfigure[test-crop] > \stoptext where I produced test-crop.pdf from the following plain TeX sample, which I also typeset with LuaTeX 0.95 (to make sure it's not a LuaTeX regression). > \input luatex85.sty > \input tikz > \tikzpicture > \draw[help lines,very thick] (0,0) -- (1,0); > \endtikzpicture > \bye Attached you find the output of the ConTeXt example and you can see that the color of the upper line (the one produced with TikZ inside ConTeXt) has a much brighter color than the one produced with plain TeX. I'm using ConTeXt MkIV distributed with TL 2016. How can I adjust the colors in ConTeXt to match the ones produced by plain TeX? I need the adjustment in that direction, because I also have old images produced with plain TeX/LaTeX that I'd like to seamlessly integrate in my ConTeXt documents. Cheers, Henri

Re: [NTG-context] Invoking ConTeXt from inside php web appliction
by Pavneet Arora 11 Jul '16

In principle this is workable up to the point that the output PDF needs to be handed off to the user. In my case, it is the (authenticated) parent who is requesting their child’s report card in one of two forms each of which is created dynamically at any point along the school “term”. The user is waiting for the output PDF from the browser. In Laravel this is accomplished by using: return response()->download($full_output_filename)->deleteFileAfterSend(true); whereupon the end user sees the familiar Open, Save, … dialogue. But the dispatcher pattern is very useful, and I like it very much. In another area, I use it to monitor a directory for forms input, which are done off-line on W10 tablets using a browser and the Mongoose lightweight httpd, and then uploaded using sftp (under Cygwin). Thanks, again, for the suggestions. Pavneet Arora m: +1 (647) 406-6843 e: pavneet_arora(a)waroc.com From: luigi scarso
