\setfirstline Inside columns environment does not seem to work

Dear all, I would like to use the first line specific style magic but I cannot make it to work within 2 column text. I give a simple example (I’ve modified from previous post example on this list). Is that expected ? If you uncomment the \startcolumns and \stopcolumns below, the first line style disappears (both bigger font line and dark blue 2 first words). I use standalone ConTeXt (installed 1 week ago or so). $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.62 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2015.10.09 21:28 Thanks Best Joseph Canedo \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext % \startcolumns[n=2] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \setupalign[tolerant] \definefirstline [fancy] [alternative=line, style=\tfd] \setfirstline[fancy] \input tufte \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input ward \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input knuth \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input bryson \page \definefirstline [fancy] [alternative=word, color=darkblue, style=bold, n=2] \setfirstline[fancy] \input tufte \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input ward \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input knuth \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input bryson \page % \stopcolumns \stoptext

Line height - changes in defaults
by Jan Tosovsky 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Dear All, comparing same source generated in 0.80 and in recent 0.81 beta I can see changes in default line height. See the attached image - that black text is the current, the grey is the old one. In my B5 page size there were approx 44 lines while now only 39. It can be reproduced with this MWE: \setuppapersize[B5] \setuplayout[header=0cm, footer=1cm, grid=yes] \showgrid % the used font doesn't seem to have any influence on this %\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default, quality}] %\setupbodyfont[palatino, 10pt] \starttext \input{tufte} \stoptext Is this new value a new default or a bug? In other words, should it be fixed on my or your side? Thanks, Jan

Improving Pandoc Support for ConTeXt
by Andrew Dunning 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Dear list, Pandoc, if you have not heard of it before, is a rather brilliant program for converting text between different markup languages: it allows, in essence, for technology-independent writing. It has been mentioned a few times on this list, with Pablo Rodríguez recently developing a set of templates for typesetting its XHTML output (at https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context) One of its aims is to ease the process of producing a high-quality PDF; it has the strongest support for LaTeX at the moment, but it seems to me that ConTeXt would ultimately provide a more reliable and lightweight solution. The basic support is already in place; it only needs to be more thoroughly updated to take advantage of MkIV. I am working on improving Pandoc's generic ConTeXt template, at <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/blob/master/default.context>; the initial proposal is at <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/pull/138>, which aims to show more of ConTeXt’s potential to the user through making variables available that configure its options. I am still new to ConTeXt (having used LaTeX for several years), and could not find a recent starter document. The example at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Detailed_Example> is from 2006, and clearly does not exhibit the system’s full potential. I would be grateful to know of any potential areas for improvement. If you feel even more inclined to develop the Pandoc support for ConTeXt, its writer can be found at <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/master/src/Text/Pandoc/Writers/ConTeXt.hs>. In my experience, ConTeXt is much easier to use than LaTeX, but it is more difficult to get started with initially due to the lack of resources for new users; it is my hope that full support for it in Pandoc will provide one way of delving into it more deeply. All best, Andrew Dunning PhD Candidate Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto http://andrewdunning.ca

Bug with ConTeXt and pgfplot library fillbetween
by Aditya Mahajan 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hi, The following example fails: \usemodule[pgfplots] \usepgfplotslibrary[fillbetween] \starttext \startformula \left. a \right| \stopformula \stoptext with tex error > tex error on line 7 in file /private/tmp/test.tex: ! Missing \endgroup inserted <inserted text> \endgroup <to be read again> \Ucheckedstopdisplaymath \stopdisplaymath ...math \Ucheckedstopdisplaymath \par \ifvmode \ifcase \c_s... \strc_formulas_stop_formula ...native \v!formula } \dostoptagged \dostoptagge... l.7 \stopformula This is a weird bug. Only \left. \right| fails; \left| \right| works correctly. If I remove the fillbetween library, the error goes away. Any hints as to what is happening will be appreciated. Thanks, Aditya

Regression with label inright placement
by Rik Kabel 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

The following code, a slight addition to test suite descriptions/labels-003.tex, when using ConTeXt from 20150904 and earlier works properly. Between that release and 20151004 something changed, and it fails with the labels shifted to reflect the temporarily narrowed text. \definelabel[MyLabel][way=bytext,text=OEPS] \starttext \setuplabel[MyLabel][alternative=intext] \MyLabel[labelname1] This is some text after \in[labelname1]. \blank \MyLabel[labelname2] This is some text after \in[labelname2]. \blank \setuplabel[MyLabel][alternative=inleft] \MyLabel[labelname1] This is some text after \in[labelname1]. \blank \MyLabel[labelname2] This is some text after \in[labelname2]. \blank \setuplabel[MyLabel][alternative=inright] \MyLabel[labelname1] This is some text after \in[labelname1]. \blank \MyLabel[labelname2] This is some text after \in[labelname2]. \blank \startnarrower \MyLabel[labelname1] This is some text after \in[labelname1]. \blank \MyLabel[labelname2] This is some text after \in[labelname2]. \stopnarrower \stoptext Oeps indeed! -- Rik

list with individual item indications
by dr. Hans van der Meer 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

I want to typeset a series of items in the itemize-list structure. But not numbered 1. 2. etc, but each item a separate indication, in fact in this case years. In \startitemize \startitem .. \stopitem .. \stopitemize I am not able to realize this and the ConTeXt Wiki on these commands didn't help me further. How to accomplish? Hans van der Meer

Question on how to simple numbered sections or other headings
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 25 Oct '15

25 Oct '15

Hello all, I have an another newbie ConTeXt user question (very powerful but the learning curve is a bit steep at least for me 😊). Sorry if this is documented in the Wiki but could not find an example to do this. I would like to have text splitted in chapters (or sections) with some title, which I can do fine and have these divided in sections (or subsections) whose title is just for example: Chapitre 1, Chapitre 2, … ie a simple label + a counter after it. How can I do this please ? I tried using \setupheads[number=no] to not print the number at left side of title but this makes \structurenumber or \headnumber[section] empty. Basically what is a way to have (for example): Chapitre 1 instead of 1 Chapitre Many thanks Best regards Joseph Canedo

What is the prefered way to load a system font ?
by Goulven Guillard 25 Oct '15

25 Oct '15

Hi again, I'm puzzled about the prefered way to load a system font, and I read the wiki is outdated. Is \setmainfont deprecated for \definefontfamily + \setupbodyfont ? Or are they different things ? Also, how am I supposed to find the right family name to feed both with ? I read somewhere that the output of mtxrun (which column ?) should be used and not fc-list output, then I read the opposite, and I read that the --info option of mtxrun should provide the same family name as listed with most GUI software, yet I tried and it doesn't… Thanks. Regards, Goulven.
