Bug in startitemize
by Otared Kavian 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi Hans, It seems that with the new beta (ConTeXt ver: 2016.03.04 10:39 MKIV beta fmt: 2016.3.7), there is a bug with random itemization. I cannot tell exactly when this feature has been broken. The problem is that for instance in the following example, sometimes the item C is repeated three times, sometimes A is repeated twice, etc. \starttext \startitemize[n,random] \startitem A \stopitem \startitem B \stopitem \startitem C \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext Best regards: OK

non-splitting footnotes
by Brian Ballsun-Stanton 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi folks, http://context.fedarch.org/Context/trapChapter16_petra.pdf page 7-8 there's a very large space due to a footnote. I've tried to induce footnote splitting (I just updated to mtx-context | current version: 2016.03.04 10:39) but it doesn't seem to work. All the discussion on this list is... 8 years old. What is a correct way of solving the long footnote not splitting over pages problem (besides shooting the author?) Cheers, -Brian

\definedescription and setupdescription options
by Jan U. Hasecke 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

Hi all, I am working on a small documentation and today I tried all the options in \definedescription and/or \setupdescriptions to understand what is going on. I have no idea what these options are doing: closecommand titleleft titleright titledistance titlestyle titlecolor headcommand hang inbetween command I could not see any result and found no hint in the documentation. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank in advance juh -- 13. März 2016: 20. Todestag von Krzysztof Kieślowski Die Wahrheit des Sehens.

kerning with \quotation
by Schmitz Thomas A. 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

Hi all, short example in extra big size to make the effect visible: \setupbodyfont [termes,48pt] \mainlanguage [de] \starttext „Vater“ \quotation{Vater} \stoptext In the first line, the character „ has a bit of kerning with the following V (could be even more, to my taste). With \quotation, the gap between them is very large. Could the kerning be applied in this case too? Or is it better to use the raw „? (After I have taught emacs to auto-insert \quotation{ and } when I type a quotation mark…) Thomas

A document composed only of TEXpages
by Chicho Pep 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hello everybody, I would like to have a document composed of TEXpages only, where each TEXpage contains one whole subsection or section. I have achieved that indeed, but I don't get to understand how the numbering of pages works in this case. I've tried to use \setcounter[userpage][\pagenumber+1]. Here is my document: *** \setupinteraction[state=start] \startsetups[myTEXpagesetup] \setupwhitespace[line] \setuptolerance[space] \stopsetups \setupfittingpage[TEXpage] [command=\texsetup{myTEXpagesetup}, height=fit, width=210mm, offset=10mm] \starttext \startTEXpage \startsection[title={My Section}] \placecontent \stopTEXpage \setcounter[userpage][\pagenumber+1] \startTEXpage \startsubsection[title={My First Subsection}] Contents \stopsubsection \stopTEXpage \setcounter[userpage][\pagenumber+1] \startTEXpage \startsubsection[title={My Second Subsection}] Contents \stopsubsection \stopTEXpage \setcounter[userpage][\pagenumber+1] \startTEXpage \startsubsection[title={My Third Subsection}] Contents \stopsubsection \stopTEXpage \stopsection \stoptext *** The PDF browser numbers the pages correctly, and in this case they get numbers 1 to 4. But the generated list of contents in page 1 says that section "My Third Subsection" is in page 3 instead of 4, though the link correctly jumps to page 4. The (sub)section in the last TEXpage of the document gets always numbered as if it would be in the next to last TEXpage. To make the list of contents look good, I may add one last empty TEXpage at the end of the document. But I'd still like to ask how, or if, it would be possible to make this use case work without that trick. There's a pair more things: When the document is composed of only one single TEXpage, then that page gets number 0 in the PDF browser, instead of number 1. When I don't use \setcounter[userpage][\pagenumber+1] in between the TEXpages, they get numbers 1,1,1,2 in the PDF browser, while the list of contents says my subsections are in pages 1,1,0 (but the links jump always to the correct page). Thank you for your help Pep p.s. As PDF browsers, I use Evince, Okular and Firefox's built-in PDF Viewer p.p.s. I love ConTeXt :)
