issue with \sethyphenatedafter
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Dear list, I have the following sample: \sethyphenatedurlafter{/} \define[1]\mypersonalurl{{\tt\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]}} \starttext \hsize\zeropoint \mypersonalurl{http://contextgarden.net} \stoptext Using latest beta from 2016.02.20 14:55, I get: http :/ / contextgarden .net Is there any way to force the two slashes to be on the same line? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Any chance you could post your amended xslt files to give a newbie a head start? > Some general tweaks were sent to the original author who promised merging them. He also mentioned planned update in the near future... Since then dbcontext has been removed from the dblatex distribution. The current dblatex is 0.3.7 but it looks like the most recent dbcontext is from 0.2pre. I think the chances of dbcontext getting further love from its author are not good... David.

Disappearing \rrbracket
by Nicola 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

I have a problem with the symbol in the subject. This is a minimal document: \starttext $\llbracket x\rrbracket$ $\bigl\llbracket x\bigr\rrbracket$ $\Bigl\llbracket x\Bigr\rrbracket$ $\biggl\llbracket x\biggr\rrbracket$ $\Biggl\llbracket x\Biggr\rrbracket$ \stoptext Using ConTeXt from TeX Live 2015, \rrbracket is rendered only in the first case (current beta is ok). Can you reproduce this? Is there a workaround? Nicola

Thanks for the reply. \thispage is producing no output in all the places it is being invoked Aidan > On 24 Feb 2016, at 15:35, ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl wrote: > > startsetups[referenceformat:thispage] > \doifelse{\filterreference{page}}{\rawcountervalue[userpage]} > {{\tttf !?}} > {\filterreference{page}} > \stopsetups > > \definereferenceformat[thispage][setups=referenceformat:thispage] > > \starttext > > \chapter[one]{First chapter} > > First: \thispage[one] > > Second: \thispage[two] > > \chapter[two]{Second chapter} > > First: \thispage[one] > > Second: \thispage[two]

PDF Inclusion Regression
by Christoph Reller 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hi, I have found the following problem when including an external PDF with \externalfigure: Some (or all?) values in PDF arrays that are between -1.0 and 0.0 loose their minus sign. E.g: -0.1 turns into 0.1. This can lead to significant visual differences. This problem did not exist in earlier versions of ConTeXt. For a MWE consider the following: \starttext \externalfigure[test.pdf] \stoptext where test.pdf is attached and has a MediaBox [-0.1 -0.1 612 792]. In the PDF produced by ConTeXt test.pdf is correctly put in an XObject but this XObject now has a BBox [0.1 0.1 612 792]. I am afraid but this might be a bug in newer versions of luatex. I would greatly appreciate if this would be addressed. Kind regards, Christoph

size in setuptype
by Meer, Hans van der 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Why does \setuptyping has a parameter bodyfont= and is \setuptype missing it? I am asking because in typesetting with \setuptype[style=small]\type{something} I get another font and size than with \setuptyping[bodyfont=small]\starttyping ... \stoptyping whereas in both the same is wanted in order to keep continuity in size and style. \setuptype[bodyfont=small] definitely gave something different, i.e. no change. \setuptype[bodyfont=small]: can this be incorporated in the next ConTeXt-beta producing the same effect as \setuptyping[bodyfont=small]? It would be very nice. Hans van der Meer

Controlling \at output
by Aidan Nichol 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

I’m trying to create something (like varioref in latex) that suppresses \at output if the referenced item is on the current page. The main decision point is with \doifelse{\at[ref2]}{\rawcountervalue[page]}{ same page }{ different page } no matter what I try (expdoifelse and other ways to get the current page) the values never match. \doifelse{\at[ref2]}{\at[ref1]}….. (ref1 and ref2 are on the same page but don’t match \doifelse{\rawcountervalue[page]}{1}… it is page 1 but always fails. The only match I get is with \doifelse{\at[ref2]}{\at[ref2]}…. which is pretty useless Presumably I’m doing something stupid. Or do i have to go for a much lower level approach

Hi Hans, First and foremost: Thank you for uploading the Beta!

And, as mentioned above, I will try to come up with decent example documents. There are still cases in my documents that don't work and i will try to minimize these. Thanks again for your effort!

Stacking math symbols
by Nicola 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I find it a bit surprising that ConTeXt gives 'missing } inserted' with: \starttext\startformula \mathop=^{\rm def} \stopformula\stoptext (\mathop{=}^... is fine, though). The above formula is correct in Plain (Lua)TeX (in fact, it is copied from The TeX Book). Why does ConTeXt need braces? (Before you point it out: I know that I should use \stackrel…) Nicola
