meaning of error message?
by Alan Bowen 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

I have been experimenting with tagging. But my attempts with two files now have generated this sort of error message: lua error > lua error on line 62 in file c_Int-A002_Acerbi.tex: .../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-tag.lua:407: bad argument #2 to 'lpegmatch' (string expected, got boolean) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'lpegmatch' .../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-tag.lua:407: in function 'strippedtag' .../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/back-exp.lua:740: in function <.../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/back-exp.lua:739> (...tail calls...) Could someone tell me what this means—is there are error in my encoding or a problem in lua? Alan

Smaller bullet points
by Kate F 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi, I'm defining a slightly smaller bullet point symbol: \definesymbol[smallbullet][\small\bullet] \setupitemize[1][smallbullet] This aligns the smaller bullet point to the baseline of text, which is too low. I'd like to have it vertically centered, such that it aligns in the middle of where the regular-sized \bullet would be. I tried using \inframed[height=\lineheight], but I couldn't find a way to make that end up in the right place. Any suggestions please? Thanks, -- Kate

goto
by Meer, Hans van der 28 Nov '15

28 Nov '15

I would like to be able to go directly to a local document by an interaction statement. The \goto command seems to be meant for this. However, the descriptions in the command reference and the Wiki do not explain all of its parameters: In \goto{1}{2}[3] parameters 1 and 2 are marked CONTEXT and 3 is marked REFERENCE. I could find parameter {1} typeset in the text and [3] as the reference in for example a \placefigure. What is {2} supposed to do? \goto{}Something}[] does not places Something to find. I tried to effect the jump to a document on my system with \goto{local-doc}[/Volumes/Users/myhome/Documents/myfigure.jpg] but this does not works as I hoped. How to? Hans van der Meer

inverse indentation
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Nov '15

28 Nov '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupindenting[always,yes,big] \startsetups[bibliography:indent] \setupindenting[negative] \stopsetups \definehead[Bibliography][subject] \setuphead[Bibliography] [setups=bibliography:indent, indentnext=yes] \starttext \startBibliography[reference=ref,title=Bibliography] \reference[ref-Frankfurt:1971fk]{}% Frankfurt, Harry. 1971. “Freedom of the Will and the Concept of a Person.” {\em Journal of Philosophy}. \stopBibliography \stoptext How can I define indenting in startsetups so that Bibliography has the same margin that the indentation for the rest of the text and indentation in that section is negative (the same amount as the general indentation)? Sorry, but this is a standard practice that doesn’t seem to be documented in the wiki. At least, I wasn’t able to find information about this issue. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

place figure at the top left corner of the header
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hello list, I need to place a figure with its topleft corner on the topleft corner of the header. The figure would be large as the textframe and covering all the header and part of the textframe, leaving the text flow below the figure. In other words, a normal figure \textwidth large, but starting out of the textframe, at the header top, as if the textframe had the same topleft corner of the header. Which is the best way to obtain it? Do I need a custom page makeup, a layer or simply configuring \placefigure? Thank you, Massi

Allow widows/orphans at column breaks only
by Joseph Canedo 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Dear all, I use the usual \clubpenalty10000 \widowpenalty10000 commands to avoid orphans and widows, this works all fine, but I wondered if it was possible to avoid them only on page break but allow them at column breaks (probably not every one would think that’s nice to have those between columns). I use columnset. Could not find anything on such feature. Thanks Best regards Joseph

External fonts handling
by Michał Goliński 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Dear list, I have a bunch of fonts in my home directory in the .fonts subdirectory. After an update, I used to run: OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts mtxrun --script fonts --reload so that the font cache is regenerated. This workflow works in TeXLive, but recently fails in beta. For the MWE: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Minion Pro] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 12pt] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I get the following error: $ context test.tex resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf' mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/michal/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="test" --lua="/home/michal/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test.tex" --c:input="./test.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.85.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev) (rev 5550) system commands enabled. resolvers > trees > analyzing 'home:texmf' system > callbacks > not registering frozen 'find_format_file' open source > 1 > 1 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2015.11.19 19:13 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.11.25 int: english/english system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > 2 > 2 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv close source > 2 > 2 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > files > jobname 'test', input './test', result 'test' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > 2 > 3 > /dev/shm/test.tex fonts > preloading modern-designsize (math) fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'modern-designsize' fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize mm 12pt' is loaded fonts > preloading modern-designsize (mono) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize tt 12pt' is loaded fonts > defining > source file 'MinionPro-Regular.otf' is not found open source > 3 > 4 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/knuth.tex close source > 3 > 4 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/knuth.tex backend > xmp > using file '/home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1 close source > 2 > 4 > /dev/shm/test.tex close source > 1 > 4 > /home/michal/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv Expected a string for (S), not: nil Expected a string for (S), not: nil !LuaTeX error: cannot find OpenType font file for reading () ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 But if I run context this way: $ OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts context test.tex everything works. Has font handling changed in some subtle way recently? Best regards Michal

Question on headings and text around them
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Dear all, In some text I am typesetting I noticed that the text following a section was always starting on same page (which is all fine), but in some cases the text preceding the section heading was also finishing on same page, ie the last paragraph before the section heading was broken in previous page, say N lines on previous page and 2 in the page in which the section starts (I have \widowpenalty10000 that’s probably why there are 2 lines in new page), even if there is space in the previous page for the 2 lines (there are even 3 blank lines at the end of the page). Apparently I could solve this “problem”, adding some 0 penalty: \definevspacing[BeforeHeading][penalty:0] \def\BeforeBook{\blank[BeforeHeading, line]} % was \def\BeforeBook{\blank[line]} which seems to avoid breaking page between text before heading and heading itself \setuphead[section][before=\BeforeBook] My question is simply, is that a correct way to fix the problem, or is that just “luck” this fixes the issue ? Thanks a lot, Best regards Joseph Canedo
