MKIV caption separator, revisited
by Rik Kabel 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Has any progress been made in the past few years implementing modifiable separators for captions under MKIV? This was raised as an issue by (at least) Mojca Miklavec in December 2010 (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg51542.html) and by Andy Thomas 18 months later (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg63937.html) (Their issues with stopper have been resolved. In MKIV it is numberstopper.) Here is an MWE demonstrating the problem. It compiles cleanly, but the separator remains the default period. With MKII, it generates a figure with a hyphen and not a period. \setupcaptions[separator=-] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \chapter{Chaptername} \section{Sectionname} \placefigure[here][fig:1]{Caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \in{See Figure}{.}[fig:1] \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

Last version standalone ConTeXt issue.
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Hello ConTeXist. In the latest version ConTeXt it stopped working my macros which contents function he once advised me Taco. It is low level lua code. Can anyone advise me what the problem is, eventually. how to replace Lua code in my function to make it work again? Macros worked at least 6 years and now crashes. Here is my function: function thirddata.handlecsv.texmacroisdefined(macroname) -- check whether macroname macro is defined in ConTeXt -- function is used to test whether the user has defined the macro \macroname. If not, it needs to define any default value if token.csname_name(token.create(macroname)) == macroname then return true else return false end end Is there any alternative (ConTeXt like), which is should be possible use in Lua code? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

Slides/material from the Context User Meeting
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

Hello Mojca, If I recall correctly someone mentioned on the list that you typically collect the slides during the meeting. Would it be possible to share them if you have done so this year? In general, is there any material related to the meeting that unlucky non-participants can access? I mean, besides the group photo that's up on the website :) Who's in charge of the "proceedings," by the way? When will that be sent to members of the ConTeXt User Group? Thanks, ~MHB

Access ConTeXt dimensions in Lua
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

Hi all, I’m trying to write some dimensions to a file, e.g. \startluacode io.savedata("settings.txt", context("\\textwidth")) \stopluacode But that context() construct is nil. There’s probably a simple solution... ;) Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer) GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

How do I compile a "flat" pdf?
by Bomber K. 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

Hi guys, I am trying to create a pdf which contains some graphics that I created. I want to pass my PDF digitally but I don't want users to be able to right-click on a gfx and save it. I think this is called "flattening". Is there a way in CTX to create such a file or do I have to recompile the PDF with 3rd party software? Is there maybe even a way to flatten only specific objects like, only one picture of many or all, and leave form fields unflattened? Thanks, Sebastian

Recommendations on presentations
by Jan U. Hasecke 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

Hi all, Keynote is the only software that ties me to MacOS X. I would like to copy some of its presentations styles to ConTeXt (MKIV). What is the best way to do this? I read about simpleslides and looked into the code but I am unsure whether I start from a simpleslides example. Is it better to simply define the layout from scratch? juh

Underlining formulas and units
by Florian Leupold 07 Oct '16

Dear list, underbar behaves weirdly when it comes to indexes, exponents, and units: \starttext \underbar{$F_C=\unit{1e2 newton}$} or \underbar{\unit{1e2 newton}} \stoptext Am I doing something wrong? Is there maybe a setting to correct for this? Thanks, Florian

Bug in \usetikzlibrary{datavisualization}?
by Florian Leupold 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Dear list, Sorry for posting a duplicate, but I guess my previous post got lost during the conference... When one tries to load the TikZ data visualization library, the documents does not compile anymore. The error is “.../tikzlibrarydatavisualization.code.tex: ! Missing number, treated as zero”. I have also tried this using ConTeXt online, to the same end: http://live.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/output.cgi?id=jSjLZO \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary{datavisualization} \starttext Hello world! \stoptext Is this a known bug or could I somehow fix this to get data visualization to work? Best, Florian

"marking=one" with marks on more than the first page
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Hans, the following sample puts the cut marks on each page: \showframe \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuplayout [marking=one, location=middle] \starttext \ctxlua{for i=1,10 do tex.print("\\startpagemakeup\\filterpages[setup-en.pdf][" .. i .. "][width=0cm]\\stoppagemakeup") end} \stoptext Page makeups is the only way I have to get full pages imposed. But with those, "marking=one" doesn’t work. Is there a way to solve this? Many thanks for your help Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
