nested itemgroups sometimes not working
by Lawrence Bell 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

I'm having some difficulties with nested itemgroups. I've produced a minimal working example as follows. \defineitemgroup [test] [symbol=n] \starttext % \startitemgroup % \startitem % \startitemgroup[test] % \startitem % ... % \stopitem % \stopitemgroup % \stopitem % \stopitemgroup \startitemgroup \startitem \startitemgroup \startitem Lorem ipsum \startitemgroup[test] \startitem dolor sit amet, \stopitem \startitem consectetur adipisicing elit. \stopitem \stopitemgroup \stopitem \stopitemgroup \stopitem \stopitemgroup \stoptext I would expect items in the [test] itemgroup to be numbered 1, 2 but instead they are both 0. I have also found out that, bizarrely, uncommenting the first itemgroup fixes the issue. This is the behaviour I get on the TeXLive 2016 version of ConTeXt, I don't have the latest minimals installed to test. Thanks in advance for any help with this matter!

\startlines not working in footnotes
by Alan Bowen 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

I am trying to set some poetry in a footnote and have encountered a problem. \starttext Here is a footnote. \footnote{Some text: \startlines a b c d \stoplines And some more text.} \stoptext produces a b c d (a single line). Is this a wee bug or have I missed something? I am using the latest minimals. Alan

In a 2013 book this module is called somewhere but unsuccessfully. Does any one remember it? Is it still relevant? -- John Culleton Wexfordpress Book design and indexing.

Dot fills shifted down
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Hello, the following code: ---- \definefiller [DotFill] [alternative=symbol, symbol=., width=.5em, style=\txx] Fill here: \filler[DotFill]{} ---- produces filler with dots on the baseline. Is there a way to shift the dots a bit lower, bellow the baseline, e.g. to 0.25em bellow? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

How to define a new font style using \definefontstyle?
by Antoine Cailliau 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Hi, I'm trying to declare a new font style. I declare it with \definefontstyle [sx] [sx] but the compilation fails when I use \sx in my document. I found an older message from 2009 similar to my issue but with public solution. May be some private response from Hans Hagen is missing? ( https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2009/043067.html) Here is a minimal example: \definefontstyle [sx] [sx] \definetypeface [source] [sx] [semiextended] [myriadpro] [optical] \starttypescript [semiextended] [optical] [size] \definebodyfont [11pt] [sx] [tf=SansSemiExtended sa 1] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [semiextended] [myriadpro] \definefontsynonym [SansSemiExtended] [file:MyriadPro-SemiExt.otf] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttext {\sx ABCDEFGHIJKLM\par NOPQRSTUVWXYZ\par abcdefghijklm\par nopqrstuvwxyz\par 1234567890} \stoptext Thanks for your help, Antoine C.

font descriptions no longer work
by John Culleton 29 Jan '17

29 Jan '17

In all my recent books I have this subfile called fonts.tex. ----------------------------------------------------- \def\Fontsize{11} \font \rm = "file:MinionPro-Regular.otf:+liga;expansion=default;protrusion=quality" at \Fontsize bp \font \it = "file:MinionPro-It.otf" at \Fontsize bp \font \bf = "file:MinionPro-Bold.otf" at \Fontsize bp \font \firstlet = "file:MinionPro-Regular.otf" at 3\Fontsize bp \font \sc = "file:MinionPro-Regular.otf:+smcp" at 1.5\Fontsize bp \font \titlesans = "file:MyriadPro-BlackCond.otf" at 30bp \font \smalltitle = "file:MyriadPro-Regular.otf" at 20bp %\font \chapfont = "file:Raleway-ExtraLight.otf" at 80bp --------------------------------------------------------- When I use the \titlesans call in a document it errs off with this message > tex error on line 2 in file half.tex: ! Undefined control sequence It can be made to finish the run but the text on page half.tex is the ordinary body font. The fonts in question are in the directory where I am running context on a document in every case. I just installed the latest context in my home directory. I also have texlive installed. I copied the fonts to /usr/share/OTF, ran ft-cache as root. ran context as root. Nothing helped. Slackware 14.2 I have two book projects stalled. -- John Culleton Wexfordpress Book design and indexing.

Scripting with TeXLua
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

Ahoi, Moonshiners! I rebuilt my invoice-writing setup and moved most of the logic from a python script to Lua within ConTeXt. Now I would like to replace the Python script completely. Can you suggest libraries that work well with texlua (or are even built-in), WRT - OO classes (ATM I’m using "classy" from https://github.com/siffiejoe/lua-classy) - UI (curses would be enough, maybe Qt, rather not wx. I found tekUI, but it won’t compile on OSX) - JSON (ATM I’ve my customers database in a JSON file, but I should probably move that to a Lua table anyway.) Regarding UI, maybe I could use some web forms and the infamous ConTeXt webserver. Experiences anyone? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
