Hello, the following code doesn't produce 594 x 841 mm (A1) page; the resulting size is 594 x 758 mm. Also, there is no "Hello" text. ---- \setuppapersize[A1] \starttext Hello \stoptext ---- What's wrong? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Hyphenation list ignored
by Francisco Gracia 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

It has taken me some time to conjecture that *mwe* would probably mean *minimal working example* and somewhat more to try to concoct something that could pass for it, but here it is, in the attached file *mis-hyph.tex*. I hope not to have incurred in any gross mistake. Attached are also three other files (*exhibit-n.pdf*) which show the results of its compilation under three different circumstances. These circumstances are described at the end of each typeset text. Mishyphenated words are underlined. Inept as it is, this example has proved to me that I was mistaken in my initial supposition that the problem was related to the importing mechanism of a separate file containing the exceptions' list. The difficulty seems now to lie deeper into the hyphenation machinery itself. I would be glad if it could be of any help to solve it. Kind regards Francisco

ConTeXt vs Beamer
by Saša Janiška 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hello, I have just checked that my first post to this list was more than 10yrs ago (end of 2002). Then I was working on some full-sized books and ended up with LyX/LaTex. Later, had few attempts to switch to ConTeXt, but as a result I reduced even my LyX/LaTeX usage and was using light markups like rst/AsciiDoc for my writing needs without higher-quality typesetting. Yesterday I had to help my wife to put together some medicine-related presentation for the meeting at her working place and used LyX/LaTeX with Beamer class. Considering that there might be need to do such thing more often in the future as well as possibility that I might have to produce lot of presentations for my public lectures/workshops based on philosophy (iow. no need of math), I am again in the position to consider ConTeXt, but this time mostly for presentations. I'm (well) aware of ConTeXt's advantage in the sense of being complete package without clashing of different packages which usually happens in LaTeX world, I wonder if someone can give some piece of advice to learn and/or switch ConTeXt for preparing presentations instead of learning lot of LaTeX packages? How does ConTeXt compare for the purpose vs LaTeX/Beamer? I'm on Linux (running Debian Sid) and use Vim as my primary editor so wonder if ConTeXt users recommend to e.g. prepare drafts of their documents like rst/AsciiDoc/markdown and then convert them into ConTeXt with tool(s) like Pandoc? Sincerely, Gour -- Therefore, without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty, for by working without attachment one attains the Supreme.

text wrapped around \textwidth sized images unwantedly.
by d_jan 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

I use ConTeXt for a document with many images. The text should float around the images, if possible. The floating itself works fine, but some images are equal or larger than \textwidth (so they are maxwidth=\textwidth). Instead of breaking above the image and starting below it again, the algorithm tries to float a bit of text (about 2-4 characters each line) around the image using space outside the text area (which naturally causes overfull \hbox-es). Is there any way to prevent this? If not, I define another float for these images and assign it to the affected images, but I wonder if I can get around this. Kind Regards, Jan

Hyphenation list ignored
by Francisco Gracia 31 Jan '16

This is to report a problem I am presently experiencing with Context. The symptom is that the contents of an hyphenation list, implemented as an outstanding file, I use for typesetting a lating text are no longer taken into account when performing the hyphenation operations. This happens with the current version of Context and apparently has been operative during the last month or two. I have checked older jobs performed in preceding months and the process worked as it should. Nothing has been altered in the way of working on this side or in the running script. Kind regards Francisco

RTL tips and tricks
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

I started this page on the Wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/RTL The plan is to fill it gradually with guidelines of how to do things in right-to-left and bidirectional documents and will include information on what works and what does not. Feel free to add your tips and tricks and point out things that do not work (yet). —MHB

If figures are placed left, left-aligned captions are unwantedly centered
by d_jan 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Hello fellow ConTeXt users, I want to place figures left so that text wraps around them if they have less width than \textwidth. The figure captions should be aligned left (flushleft). What happens: The captions are all centered. Details: -------- If I use default={here,nonumber} instead of default={left,nonumber} in\setupfloat[figure][default=..., the captions are aligned left, just like they should. It does not matter if the text warps around the captioned image, the centered is present for all figure-captions, regardless of their width. Code demonstrating the behaviour: --------------------------------- \setupfloat[figure][default={left,nonumber}] \setupcaption[figure][align=flushleft] %prefix: section-wis 3 \starttext %here is some text... Lorem Ipsum.... \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} %here is some text Lorem Ipsum.... \placefigure{my figure caption}{\externalfigure[images/image1.jpg]} Is there any way to left-place figures and have the captions flushleft aligned? (Ideally while keeping the content after starttext the same) addition: I tried with an comes-with-Ubuntu-14.04 and a LiveTex2015 Version of ConTeXt, no difference in behavior. Kind Regards, Jan PS.: Previously posted this on tex.stackexchange too (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/289752/if-figures-are-placed-left-le…) but without answers so far.

Hi, I uploaded a beta. Apart from things mentioned here th emost important change is the xml entity handler, some additions to the command setup code, and a few extra \xml* helpers (plus some obscure removed). So, if you have a critical xml flow, snapshot your tree first.
