Bad PDF to text crawlers
by Kip Warner 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Hey list, I have an important document online that I would prefer to keep as a PDF and not in another format. Unfortunately bots frequently try to provide those looking for it with a text version they try to extract (beyond my control). The extraction looks just absolutely awful and has been a major pain in leaving readers with a really bad understanding of the contents of the document. I was thinking that there must be some way of tricking these bots, depending on how they are implemented, and let's assume they will always find the PDF, to get them to extract only a small invisible layer that just contains some hidden text directing a user to the location to download the original high quality ConTeXt PDF. Any suggestions? -- Kip Warner -- Senior Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

\setupwhitespace and Natural Table paragraphs
by Pavneet Arora 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

I am trying to find the most effective way of changing paragraph spacing for paragraphs inside table cells, without resorting to explicit \blank directives. Here is a MWE to show what I mean. Outside of the table, the paragraph spacing seems to honour the \setupwhitespace directive. Not so inside the table. Curiously, though, the default enumeration inside the table *does* seem to honour \setupwhitespace, which you can affect using the before, after and inbetween options, as shown in the commented \startitemize line. advTHANKSance >>>> MWE % Change spacing \setupwhitespace[big] \setupinterlinespace[3.8ex] \starttext \input ward \input ward \midaligned{% \setupTABLE[frame=off]% \setupTABLE[offset=1em]% \setupTABLE[r][each][topframe=on,bottomframe=on]% \setupTABLE[c][1][align={flushleft,high},width=1.5in]% \setupTABLE[c][2][align={flushleft,lohi},width=4.0in]% \bTABLE \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD {\bf 2014--2015} \eTD \bTD \input ward \input ward \blank \input ward \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD {\bf 2013--2014} \eTD \bTD \input ward % \startitemize[before={\blank[small]},after={\blank[small]},inbetween={\blank[medium]}] \startitemize \item Item one. \item Item two. \item Item three. \stopitemize \eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \stoptext <<<< -- ---- Pavneet Arora m: 647.406.6843 Waroc Informatik t: 416.937.9276

include path of modules
by Henning Hraban Ramm 15 Aug '15

15 Aug '15

Hi, I’m using Peter Münster’s downsampling module (http://modules.contextgarden.net/grph-downsample) and kept it under my project directory, like ~/mybook/tex/context/third/grph-downsample That worked with latest betas until 2015-07-31. It still works under .../texmf-local/tex/context/third/grph-downsample So there’s not really a problem, I can’t remember why I kept that project-local tree anyway, but something changed that might bite someone else...

Problem with the installation of a module
by Andrea De Michele 15 Aug '15

15 Aug '15

I tried to install the PocketDiary module but I had some problem. I follow the instruction at: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules so first I copy the files in my texmf-local directory and after that I run: context --generate but context didn't find the new module. I use linux and I have installed texlive 2015 in my home directory, so my texmf-local directory is /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local In the output of context --generate I noticed the following lines: ... resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'home/admich/texlive/texmf-local' (cached) resolvers | methods | resolving, method 'locators', how 'uri', handler 'file', argument 'home/admich/texlive/texmf-local' resolvers | files | file locator 'home/admich/texlive/texmf-local' not found ... This seems not correct because is missing the initial / . For example the following lines are: resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'selfautoparent:texmf-dist' (cached) resolvers | methods | resolving, method 'locators', how 'uri', handler 'file', argument 'selfautoparent:texmf-dist' resolvers | files | file locator 'selfautoparent:texmf-dist' found as '/home/admich/texlive/2015/texmf-dist' resolvers | resolving | ... with the right initial / kpathsea find the right $TEXMFLOCAL: ~$ kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local -- Andrea De Michele

Cover page (Metafun)

Hi Hans, To progress in the use of Metafun, I try to do the same cover page as your document 'Metafun ". Without looking at the code (but using the definitions of your colors), I managed to get the mosaic. I would write the word "MATHÉMATIQUES" as you did with the word "CONTEXTEN". Thank you, Fabrice \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor[maincolor][g=.6] \definecolor[pagecolor][s=.6] \definecolor[darkcolor][s=.2] \definecolor[textcolor][r=.6] \startMPinclusions color maincolor ; maincolor := \MPcolor{maincolor} ; color pagecolor ; pagecolor := \MPcolor{pagecolor} ; color darkcolor ; darkcolor := \MPcolor{darkcolor} ; color textcolor ; textcolor := \MPcolor{textcolor} ; \stopMPinclusions \startuseMPgraphic{CoverPage} path p ; p := OverlayBox xyscaled (1/2,1/7) ; fill OverlayBox withcolor pagecolor ; path q ; q := p enlarged -12pt randomized 12pt ; pair a ; for j=0 upto 6 : for i=0 upto 1 : a := (i*xpart urcorner p,j*ypart urcorner p) ; q := p enlarged -12pt randomized 12pt shifted a ; circular_shade (q, ceiling(uniformdeviate 4), maincolor, .5maincolor) ; draw q withpen pencircle scaled 8pt withcolor darkcolor ; endfor ; endfor ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[CoverPage][\useMPgraphic{CoverPage}] \setupbackgrounds [rightpage] [background=CoverPage] \starttext \stoptext

Title of the section that begins
by Fabrice Couvreur 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hi, The first section begins, so the title appears footer on each page as the second section does not start. Then the second section starts and was the title of the second section as the third section does not start and so on. Thanks, Fabrice \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setupfootertexts[margin][][{\getmarking[chapter]}] \starttext \chapter{First} \section{one} \section{two} \chapter{Second} \section{one} \section{two} \stoptext

(again) bug with bidi direction and \about references
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi Hans, sorry for telling again, but I’m afraid that the following sample shows a serious buggy interaction between \setupdirections[bidi=on] and \about references. \setupdirections[bidi=on] \starttext \section[sectionone]{Section one} As said in \dorecurse{5} {\about[sectionone]\footnote{Body reference misplaced.}, } \stoptext Both \about and footnote references in body are misplaced. It would be great, if you could fix this. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Formatting of page number in table of contents
by Aditya Mahajan 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi, I am using a document structure "part-section-subsection" (i.e., no chapters). The page numbers have to be formatted as "partnumber-pagenumber". So, I am using the following setup: \setupuserpagenumber[way=bypart, prefix=yes, prefixset=part] The page numbers are formatted correctly on each page, but not in the table of contents. For example, \setupuserpagenumber[way=bypart, prefix=yes, prefixset=part] \starttext \placelist[part,section][alternative=c, criterium=all] \part{Part 1} \section{one} \input knuth \page \section{two} \input knuth \page \section{three} \input knuth \page \part{Part Two} \section{one} \input knuth \page \section{two} \input knuth \page \section{three} \input knuth \page \stoptext The numbers of the table of content are: 1 Part 1 .... 1-1 1.1 one .... 1-1 1.2 two .... 2-2 1.3 three ... 3-3 Note that the prefix of page number is the section number rather than the part number. Any idea what I am doing wrong and how to fix it? Thanks, Aditya

\defineprocessor and \at
by Rik Kabel 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Should processors work with references? I would think that they should, but the following fails. (My backmatter page numbers need to be marked to distinguish them from bodymatter pages. I can automate applying a processor based on the location for index register entries, but not for references.) \defineprocessor[xx][style=slanted,after=n] \starttext \section[xxx]{Processor testing} Why cannot a processor be applied to a reference? \at[xx->xxx] \stoptext -- Rik
