Formatting footnotes - conditional rule
by robheus 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hello list, Formatting footnotes allows defining wether the rule is on or off, seperating normal text from the foot notes. Can it be implemented in Context to display the footnote rule depending on wether either a new footnote begins (fist line starts with foot note number) or the footnote text is a continuation of a footnote started on a previous page? Thanks, Rob

ending every paragraph
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Dear gang, Suppose I want to end the last line of every paragraph with a command, say, \thinrule, or a string of dots. Is there a straightforward way to do that? TeX has \everypar but I'm not aware of any, say, \endeverypar command. Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

new beta
by Hans Hagen 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The reported bidi issue with footnotes had to do with some unhboxing that doesn't play well with the bidi analyzers, i.e. in case of <new text> <unhboxed done text> <new text> the done text is already treated. I now use a slightly different implementation. I also added the arabicdecimals conversion. There is also a new feature called profiling which is very experimental and falls into the 'over the top' category (it's not the fastest mechanism around). \setupbodyfont[dejavu] % methods: none strict fixed|haldfixed|quaterfixed|eightsfixed % where fixed also adapts to grid snapping \defineprofile [myprofile] [method=quarterfixed, height=\strutht, depth=\strutdp, distance=3pt] \startbuffer \dostepwiserecurse{1}{400}{5}{just a test #1 $\frac{x}{#1}^{#1}$ and }done\par \stopbuffer \starttext \startTEXpage[align=normal,strut=no] \getbuffer \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[align=normal,strut=no,profile=myprofile] \getbuffer \stopTEXpage \enabletrackers[profiling.show] \startTEXpage[align=normal,strut=no,profile=myprofile] \getbuffer \stopTEXpage \disabletrackers[profiling.show] \stoptext In everyday use this feature is not that interesting but for special cases it might come in handy.

Re: [NTG-context] footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)
by talazem＠fastmail.fm 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

I’m reviving this old thread, as the problem appears to still exist. Consider the following: > \starttext \showframe > > \definenote[afootnote][rule={on,right},paragraph=no] > > \startalignment[r2l] > Testing.\afootnote{This is footnote one.} > Testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote two.} > Testing testing testing.\afootnote{This is footnote three.} > \stopalignment > > \stoptext In the output (r2l.pdf), the text runs from right to left as it should, and the footnote reference numbers are in the right margin, as they should be. However, if we switch the option “paragraph” to “yes”, the entire frame no longer runs r2l (see the output in r2l-yes.pdf). What I want is for the text to read as follows: > .eerht etontoof si sihT 3 .owt etontoof si sihT 2 .eno etontoof si sihT 1 where the entire frame begins at the right margin, such that the first footnote number (1) is in the right margin, instead of in the left margin as it is in r2l-yes.pdf. To say it another way, the entire footnote frame should be r2l, regardless of its contents, perhaps (as Idris wrote to me) through some hard direction switch for the entire frame. Best wishes, Talal

Floating dimensions that adapts automaticall
by Fabrice Couvreur 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hi, In the code below, we can see that the table overflows. Of course, one can play on the table dimensions to adjust its position. However it is possible to define a floating whose dimensions automatically adapt to the available space ? Thank you, Fabrice \definefloat [MyFloat] [figure] \setupfloat [MyFloat] [default={right,none}] \startsetups[table:initialize] \setupTABLE[start][align={middle,lohi},width=2cm,offset=1ex] \setupTABLE[column][first][width=4cm] \setupTABLE[row][first][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray] \stopsetups \showframe \starttext \placeMyFloat{}{\externalfigure[louvre.jpg][width=5cm]} Le tableau ci-dessous indique le nombre d'entrées (en milliers) au musée du Louvre : \blank[medium] \startmidaligned \placeMyFloat{}{ \bTABLE[setups=table:initialize] \bTR \bTH \eTH \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTH \eTH \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopmidaligned} \blank[medium] \stoptext

Colored descriptions
by Eric Détrez 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

I wish to write a text where there are definitions, theorems, ... I wish to get a table of definitions at the end so I think the right tool is description. But I want the head or/and the main text have colored background. Is it possible ? I tried inbetween=\startframedtext,after=\stopframedtext in the \setupdescriptions but this lead to an error "Missing } inserted" -- Eric Détrez Informatique Lycée Faidherbe, Lille http://eric-detrez.fr

No output for no apparent reason
by Matt Gushee 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hello, ConTeXt people-- I am coming back to ConTeXt after a long absence (for about the 3rd or 4th time - maybe if I just stuck with it I wouldn't keep having these problems, eh?). I have a new installation of the standalone ConTeXt package on an Arch Linux system. I obtained the 'first-setup.sh' script according to instructions, then ran: ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex --context=current I also have TeXlive, including ConTeXt, installed as a regular Arch package; however, I don't intend to use it. In any case, I have sourced /opt/context/tex/setuptex, so I have: $ which context /opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.61 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2015.05.18 12:26 I have tried the "hello world" example described on the wiki, and the output from that is exactly as expected, but I am having trouble with a couple of projects that I created in 2006. Each project is moderately complex, including an environment file and several product files. Each project produced output in the past. But now I run 'context <file>', and there are no obvious errors (except for fonts not found, but in that case the default font should be used instead, correct?), yet no PDF is produced. Furthermore, the log files say that PDF files were generated, e.g.: mkiv lua stats > result saved in file: hobo.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 3 And yes, I've checked the modification times on the log files, and they are up to date. Of course I am not giving very much detail, but I have no idea what might be relevant. Any ideas about how to troubleshoot this? Thanks, Matt Gushee

noheaderandfooterlines messes with colors
by Eric Détrez 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Here is a minimal example : \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \noheaderandfooterlines \starttikzpicture \draw(0,2) node[color=red]{This should be red}; \draw(0,0) node[color=red]{This is red}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext The first line is written in black but when I comment \noheaderandfooterlines both lines are red This seems a curious effect The goal is to get a nice front page with tikz drawings and text at the right place. Please don't tell me to use metaFun. -- Eric Détrez Informatique Lycée Faidherbe, Lille http://eric-detrez.fr
