Question on typesetting paragraphs with non rectangle shape
by Joseph Canedo 25 Oct '15

25 Oct '15

Hello all, I am quite new to ConTeXt and I wished to know if it was possible to easily typeset paragraphs with non rectangle shape. More specifically I’d like to make a paragraph which ends with a tailpiece, ie finishes like a triangle (the text width decreases until reaching very narrow width at last line). Many thanks Best regards Joseph Canedo

Error when installing context standalone
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Hello all, I got the installation zip file following instructions found in: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Windows Unzipped in C:\ConTeXt directory (brand new an empty). Started command: first-setup.bat --context=current --modules=all After a couple of minutes: I get: ! LuaTeX error c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/node-shp.lua:58: ta ble index is nil stack traceback: c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/node-shp.lua:58: in function 'code' c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/util-lua.lua:84: in function 'loadedluacode' c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua:104: in function 'luafilechunk' c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-cod.lua:45: in function 'registercode' [\directlua]:1: in main chunk. \registerctxluafile ...ua.registercode("#1","#2")} l.21 \registerctxluafile{node-shp}{1.001} ? and the installation process stops at lua prompt. I’ve checked that luatex.exe is the one Inside C:\ConTeXt\ tex subdirectory. (C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin). It’s slightly strange it uses 64 bits exe because I downloaded http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip Any hints please ? I am using Windows 8.1.

Something weird about PATHs and MkII: wrong pdfTeX picked up
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Hi, I jut tried to compile a document with texexec, but here's the weird thing: > which texexec /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/texexec > which pdftex /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/pdftex > which mtxrun /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun > pdftex --version pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015) ... > texexec foo.tex This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015/MacPorts 2015_3) (preloaded format=cont-en) \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./foo.tex ConTeXt ver: 2013.06.07 17:34 MKII fmt: 2015.9.15 int: english/english system : foo.top loaded (./foo.top) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded ! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*:=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. I have a hard time understanding what exactly is going wrong. Why does ConTeXt (texexec) call another instance of pdftex from somewhere at the end of PATH? My only explanation could be that some fmtutil is called along the way and fmtutil doesn't exist in minimals. Thank you, Mojca

Two column layout with footnotes do not work as expected
by Dr. Thomas Möbius 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Hi, footnotes in two column layouts are typeset at the bottom of the respected column but with the width of two columns. Expected: 1) Either footnotes spanning the whole page from left to right at the bottom of the page. 2) Or have the footnote be restricted to one column only. How can I achieve the former? I would be thankful for help.

On the second page, footnote runs into text. \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \definestartstop[abstract] [before={\blank\midaligned{\bf Abstract}\startnarrower[2*middle]}, after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}] \definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2] \starttext \title{Two Column Layout with Footnotes Spanning Page} \startabstract Footnotes start at the wrong place.

Can you make a minimal example for and explain what you expect. You should also rethink the negative value for the width key. Wolfgang

Is it a bug that will be addressed, or is the fix coming with a new release of the new bibliography system, or is it something that has to be worked around? I also note that the method=font option for \setupdelimited text appears to be incompatible with the left option for \startquotation. The document compiles, but [left] appears as part of the text and is not acted on (and similarly for right and middle). -- Ri

Problem with setuptagging and ebgaramond font, also hsize question
by Rik Kabel 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

With the following example, there are no hyphens where words are broken across lines. When the \setuptagging line is removed, or the state changed to stop, hyphens appear as expected. So far I have only seen this with the ebgaramond font using a current standalone beta (ConTeXt ver: 2015.10.09 21:28 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.10.21) running on Windows 10 Pro x64. With TL15 ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2015.10.10 int: english/english hyphens are printed with or without \setuptagging[state=start]. I also notice that the \hsize directive is ignored after the 4th iteration of zapf. That is, the first four paragraphs are constrained to the specifice hsize, and the remaining iterations are set at the full textwidth. This occurs with all fonts and without regard to the tagging setup. That is, remove the first two lines of the example and that problem persists. \setuptagging[state=start] \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond] \starttext \hsize7cm \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \input zapf \par \stoptext What am I doing wrong? -- Rik

Usage of ConTeXt in Digital Humanities
by Jan U. Hasecke 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

I just stumpled upon this: http://www.bbaw.de/en/telota/software/ediarum "Print edition With the help of ConTeXt a print edition is automatically generated as a PDF from the TEI XML document. Each TEI element is given a specific formatting command through a configuration file. In this way the different apparatuses appear as footnotes that refer to the main text with the help of line numbers and lemmata. The print edition can also provide the suitable index for each transcription and solves any occurring cross references between manuscripts." juh -- Demeter und die Allmende des Seins https://www.amazon.de/dp/B008G4Z2I2 Spekulativer Essay wider die Ahnenlosigkeit und die Anmaßung des Eigentums.
