smallcaps
by dr. Hans van der Meer 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

I do not understand the behaviour of the \sc macro. I thought smallcaps would turn out to be smaller than capitals. But I see no difference between them except a subtle difference in letterspacing. Am I doing something wrong here? Hans van der Meer Minimal example and output: \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \starttext \setupbodyfont[lmodern] lmodern: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank \setupbodyfont[cambria] cambria: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank \LuaTeX-version=0.\the\luatexversion\crlf \ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\crlf \stoptext

No idea why. Whatever I do Terminal replies with : cannot execute binary file. I will now try to get some advice from the LilyPond list. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Ref. 1: I am running ConTeXt as a standalone Ref. 2: ConTeXt is running under Mac OSX 10.9.5. I use TeXShop as the editor. Ref. 3: I attach the example to this mail Ref. 4: Yes, I created a folder "lilytemp". It is in the same directory as the .tex-file I want to compile. But I have no idea how and where to create a buffer. My guess is that ConTeXt does not find the or even a lilypond executable but I cannot see how and where I have to supply the path.

next beta
by Hans Hagen 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi, The next beta will support this (for mp lovers) \definecolor[maincolor] [r=.5] \definecolor[extracolor] [g=.5] \definecolor[anothercolor][b=.5] \definecolor[morecolor] [s=.8] \startMPpage fill fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor "maincolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 9cm withcolor "extracolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 8cm withcolor complementary "anothercolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 7cm withcolor complemented "anothercolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 6cm withcolor "morecolor" randomized 1 ; fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor "morecolor" randomized 1 ; addbackground withcolor .5[resolvedcolor("morecolor"),resolvedcolor("extracolor")] ; \stopMPpage So, in many cases you can use strings instead of \MPcolor{...}.

Equivalent in ConTeXt mkiv for LaTeX's picture environment?
by Thomas Fehige 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

The headline says it: As a convert from LaTeX I'm looking for the functionality of LaTeX's picture environment, i.e. the placing of boxes et al. according to absolute coordinates, possibly with calculating measurements and coordinates on the go, like the stuff provided by the picture package on LaTeX. (It's labels for cider bottles this time.) Cheers -- Thomas

Text inline fractions
by Thomas Fehige 25 Jun '16

25 Jun '16

Is there a clean and easy way in mkiv to create text inline fractions with a slash; something like 1{}^1/_2 to mean one and a half? Thank you -- Thomas

The following is no longer putting the “answer blank” in the right margin. \define\ansblank{\inright{\getnumber[itemgroup:itemize]. \thinrule}} \setupitemgroup [itemize] [n, style=bold,right=\ansblank] \starttext \startitemize[n] \item A question. \stopitemize \showframe \stoptext When I source context 2016.02.15 it works, but not with 2016.05.19. Thank you for any help on the new way. Some background: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg72108.html <http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg72108.html>

issue with TOC
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Dear list, I have the following sample \starttext \placelist[chapter][alternative=c] \chapter{\input zapf} \stoptext Which is the key that controls the separation between title and page number, similar to "distance" for number and title? Sorry, I checked both i-context.pdf and strc-lst.mkvi, but I’m afraid I was unable to find answer to my question. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

four printing options (again)
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Hans, we have talked about this feature improvement before. You told me to report again in a month, since TeX Live 2016 was first. The four printing options would be: duplex page portrait landscape (implemented in the "option" key) fixed (no value is required) copies an number pdfsize yes no The option copies would implement /NumCopies and pdfsize would implement /PickTrayByPDFSize, both from the /ViewerPreferences dictionary (as explained in https://wwwimages2.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_…) It would be great to have a \setupprinting command for these four options. At least, I think having the four printing options independent from the viewing options (as the key "option" does right now). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
