Question about document parameters
by Henri Menke 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Dear list, I cannot seem to find the documentation for the parameters which you can set in the first line of the document. From an example I found that you can select the engine this way. % engine=luajittex \starttext Hello World! \stoptext What other parameters can I set this way and what is the syntax to set multiple parameters? Cheers, Henri

Re: [NTG-context] Displayed formula inside paragraph change vertical space before the paragraph
by Jeong Dal 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Dear Mikael, I didn’t see any problem which you mentioned when I run it under the ConTeXt version 2016.10. 6 MKIV beta. But I saw a change the vertical space when I run it under ConTeXt version 2016. 12. 28 MKIV beta after updated the bata. I tested in several ways and found that the vertical space is narrow only in the following case: Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla % \startformula k>1000\implies |1/k-0|=1/k<1/1000=0.001. \stopformula Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla If I remove either “%” or the formula, then the output looks fine. As Otaired said it is better to open a new thread. Best regards, Dalyoung > Maybe you should open a new thread with a title like « Bug in vertical spacing of paragraphs » so that Hans may see it more easily. > > Best regards: OK

Displayed formula inside paragraph change vertical space before the paragraph
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Dear list, please have a look at the output (ctx-example13.pdf) of the somewhat ugly example below. The vertical space before the paragraph with the displayed formula is almost none. If I remove the % signs before and after the formula, the space before the paragraph looks ok. Do I have to enter those empty lines? Is this a bug or feature? (I use a recently updated standalone) /Mikael \starttext Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla % \startformula k>1000\implies |1/k-0|=1/k<1/1000=0.001. \stopformula % Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stoptext

scancsv module and lua
by DesdeChaves 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Dear sirs, In my project I need to format some data from a csv file. The csv file is scanned using the scancsv module and part of this information is formatted inside luacode environment, but the text.print("") and the context("") functions don´t be able to send the formatted data to the output. The result is a empty pdf. The example attached is from a old question. Thanks a lot for your time Jorge M. --- example -- \usemodule[scancsv] \def\ddmmyyyy#1#2#3{% #1 - date, #2 - old separator, #3 - new separator \startlua local parsedate=thirddata.scancsv.ParseCSVLine('#1','#2'); local day=tonumber(parsedate[1]); local month=tonumber(parsedate[2]); local year=tonumber(parsedate[3]); -- tex.print(day..'#3'..month..'#3'..year); text.print("Hello"); \stoplua } \unexpanded\def\lineaction{ \Name\ arrived on \ddmmyyyy{\Date}{/}{.\\,} \\ } % Name;Date % ME;11/10/14 % You;05/02/14 % He;15/02/2014 % She;03/03/12 % It;03/03/14 \setheader \setsep{;} \setfiletoscan{mail.csv} \starttext \filelineaction \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Bug: \textext inside \*MPinclusions causes error
by Sergey Slyusarev 15 Jan '17

> you can use > \startMPinitializations > \stopMPinitializations > as these are expanded each graphic run Thank you! This works fine with minimal example (in which the behaviour in question appears). But in specific context in which this problem affects me, this solution breaks many things: There are many *MPinclusions with as many MPinstances (so variables from one instance don't contaminate another). (here's that place: https://github.com/jemmybutton/byrne-euclid/blob/master/preamble.tex#L30) If this is indeed a bug and it's going to be fixed one day, I'll go with some less invasive hack to overcome it, but if this behaviour is correct, I'll try to rewrite everything accordingly. Or I got it wrong and *MPinitializations can substitute for *MPinclusions in this case? Sergey

(or I only think they are, but they are not really) Thanks in advance, Massi

JPEG images resolution and externalfigure size
by Christoph Reller 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi, When using the currently latest version of ConTeXt to include a JPEG image as in the MWE below, the resulting image size in the PDF is half the size when compared with earlier versions. \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] \starttext \externalfigure[hacker.jpg][scale=1000] \stoptext The actual width (in the PDF) of the hacker.jpg image is: - ConTeXt version 2016.12.28: approx. 44 mm - ConTeXt version 2016.07.01: approx. 88 mm The correct width would be 86.868 mm (513 pixel / 150 DPI * 25.4). Is there a factor 2 lost somewhere? Cheers, Christoph

Bug: \textext inside \*MPinclusions causes error
by Sergey Slyusarev 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Hi, i found the following bug (likely) some time ago: When \textext (or any other text generating thing like btex etex etc.) is present inside \*MPinclusions and \*MPinclusions are followed by \*MPcode ConTeXt returns error: Equation cannot be performed (color=vacuous). Minimal example would be: \startMPinclusions picture p; p := image( draw textext("Foo"); ); \stopMPinclusions \startMPcode \stopMPcode tested on http://live.contextgarden.net/

Hello, My table does not fit on the first page that contains the title of the evaluation and I would like it to continue on the second page. I tried using the key split = yes but my table moves to the second page and there is more than the title of the first. thank you, Fabrice

'overprint' swallows leading number
by Peter Rolf 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hi, title says it all. (ConTeXt 2016.12.28 17:55) minimal example: ------------ \starttext \startluacode local bCI,eCI = context.startcolorintent, context.stopcolorintent bCI({"overprint"})context("1.2345\\crlf")eCI() -- also no 'overprint' for that text part in the PDF bCI({"overprint"})context("First number is missing.\\crlf")eCI() \stopluacode \stoptext ------------- I also get an overflow exception with one of my tables, but I could 'fix' that with '\setupalign[nothyphenated]'. The table is complex (lua generated), so no minimal example at hand. Anyhow, here the error message (space-ali.mkiv). ------------- tex error > tex error on line 13283 in file g:/mydocs/TeX/dokumente/test/lua/titanfall2/titanfall2-weapons.mkiv: ! Arithmetic overflow \setraggedness ...hsize /\dimexpr #1\relax \relax \fi \spac_align_set_horizontal_center ...dness_middle \raggedstatus \plustwo \at... \raggedcommand ...pac_align_set_horizontal_center \relax \spac_align_set_ver... \next ...th \pack_framed_do_setups \raggedcommand \pack_framed_do_top \bgrou... \tabl_ntb_cell_process_b_c ...raltablelocalframed {\tabl_ntb_cell_start #5\t... <inserted text> ...ass 1 34 \tabl_ntb_skip {6}\tabl_ntb_pass 1 40 \tabl_ntb_plus \tabl_ntb_p... ... l.249 ...x\vbox{\ctxlua{userdata.printweaponTABLE()} }% ------------- Maybe related to the prior bug (also overprinting numbers in the TABLE), will check again later.
