I wikified it: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/DocBook I found also your other blog postings very interesting, since I work with InDesign a lot and used or at least tried to work with other typesetting/layout systems (LinoSetting, 3B2, QuarkXPress, Ventura P., Scribus et al.). (ConTeXt works mostly in the background, as long as updates don’t break compatibility…) Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer) GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

As promised, I've published a set of XSLT stylesheets for DocBook to ConTeXt conversion. Details can be found at http://doctribute.com/blog/ There is also a step by step description how to test stylesheets on a sample DocBook v4 book. As you can see, I've changed my mind and instead of patching dbcontext project I created a new one. It finally took more time than originally estimated. If you encounter any misleading info or inclarity, let me know. Thanks, Jan

automatically "smashing" È in xml typesetting
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Hello list, I'm typesetting italian text that contains "E" letters with a grave accent, like this: "È". In my "body font environment" the interline space is narrow and those "È" make their lines taller, making every following line move downwards. The problem is easily solvable putting "\smash" before "È". But my sources are XML and typesetting is done through xmlsetups, so I'm looking for an automatic way to replace every "È" in the text with "\smash{È}". Is it possible? Thanks, Massi

Overfull annotations
by Jan Tosovsky 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Dear All, thanks to the following command I can already filter out everything except under/overfull cases: context --noconsole source.tex It is nice, but would it be possible to print also affected page numbers of the final PDF file? But to be honest, the best for me would be PDF annotations (rectangles) placed to that occurrences. In Acrobat Reader you can easily list them and automatically navigate to the target location (and then jump to the prev/next). Thanks in advance for a new option :-) Jan

You can’t disable the backgrounds with the current beta but in one of the coming betas you can use the "reset" key to disable the grid visualizers and enable afterwards only the grid lines. Wolfgang

Bug in enumeration?
by Otared Kavian 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Hi Hans, It seems that the new beta has introduced an issue with enumerations: the title does not show up as it did previously (until last Friday for instance). Below is an example. Best regards %%%%%%% bug-enumeartion.tex %%%%%%% \defineframedtext[ProclaimFramed] [width=\textwidth, frame=off, leftframe=on, framecolor=darkred, rulethickness=2pt, offset=0pt, loffset=4pt, roffset=4pt, ] \defineenumeration[proclaim] [text=, before={\startProclaimFramed}, after={\stopProclaimFramed}, style=slanted, title=yes, titleleft=, titleright={.}, alternative=hanging, width=fit, right={~}, way=bysection, prefix=yes, prefixsegments={chapter:section}] %%%%%%% \starttext \startproclaim{Definition} The title of this \type{\startproclaim} does not show up. Is this a bug? \stopproclaim \stoptext %%%%%%% end bug-enumeartion.tex
