vim module: modify line wrapping
by Andreas Schneider 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi, vimtyping already offers line wrapping by specifying "lines=split". However, some /lines/with/very/long/sequences/of/somehow/breakable/chars do not break at all. In that given example, I would like to also allow vimtyping to break lines at "/". Is something like that possible? And if so: how? Best regards, Andreas

bug in latest beta?
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hans, after upgrading to beta from 2015.05.13 23:52, the compilation of most of my documents crashes. I get two different errors depending on the document: error: .../ctxbeta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-itc.lua:148: attempt to call global 'setfield' (a nil value) error: .../ctxbeta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-itc.lua:159: attempt to call global 'setfield' (a nil value) I cannot provide a minimal sample now. I wonder whether the error itself might be enough to fix the issue. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Setup narrower body text for sections
by Kate F 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi, I'm typesetting unix manpages, where I want each section heading to be outset slightly relative to the body text of that section. In other words, I want the body text to have a left margin which is narrower than the page width. I know I can do this with something like: \startsection[title=Synopsis] \startnarrower blah blah blah \stopnarrower \stopsection But I'd much rather set the left margin (or achieving the effect of \startnarrower by some other means) using the setups for \startsection instead. That way I won't need to have \startnarrower .. \stopnarrower all over my document. I tried \setuphead[section][margin=3cm] but the margin applies to the heading, not to the body text of the section. Of course I could set margin=-3cm and make the entire page narrower, but then I'd also need to adjust the headers and footers to match. I thought I could perhaps use before= and after=, but those are of course before and after the heading, not before and after the body text. Is there a setup to wrap some commands around the body text? Or must I define my own \startxyz .. \stopxyz thingy, or is there a better way? Thanks, -- Kate

\placeongrid command
by Csikos Bela 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hello list members: Based on co-pagedesign.pdf document I'm experimenting with grids. I followed the examples mentioned on page 9-10 (Section 1.5) and used the code below: %begin code \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext This is a line. This is another line in another paragraph. Third line, new paragraph again. \placeongrid{\framed{This is a framed line placed on grid, default setup.}} Some text. \placeongrid[bottom]{\framed{This is a framed line placed on grid bottom.}} Some text. \placeongrid[top]{\framed{This is a framed line placed on grid top.}} Some text. \placeongrid[both]{\framed{This is a framed line placed on grid both.}} Some text. \stoptext %end code All \placeongrid commands with different options give the same output. See the attached pdf file. What do I do wrong? I have context ConTeXt ver: 2014.01.03 00:40 MKIV current fmt: 2015.4.1 int: english/english I have another question related to grids. When grids are shown in the pdf file (as a result of \showgrid), Adobe Reader 9.5 (linux version) always gives the following error message when opening the file: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." Despite of the message the file is shown correctly. Why is this message shown? Thanks, bcsikos

ConTeXt-defined colours broken in TikZ in MkIV with latest betas
by Mojca Miklavec 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi, The following example works in MkII and it works in TeX Live 2014, but it fails with the latest beta (it draws a black rectangle instead of using the defined colour): \usemodule[tikz] \starttext \definecolor[mycol][r=0.9,g=0.8,b=0.8] \starttikzpicture \fill[mycol] (0, 0) rectangle (2,4); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext It would be really nice to fix this in time for TeX Live 2015. Thank you, Mojca

Prefix for figure number lost in unnumbered subsection
by Mojca Miklavec 13 May '15

13 May '15

Hi, Consider the following example where I wanted to remove subsubsection numbers (as one ends with way too many numbers otherwise). The figure numbering is screwed up, I get: - Figure 1.1 - Figure 2 - Figure 1.3 \setuphead [subsubsection] [number=no] \starttext \chapter{Chapter A} \section{Section B} \subsection{Subsection C} \placefigure[force]{correct prefix}{test} \subsubsection{Subsubsection D} \placefigure[force]{no prefix number}{test} \subsection{Subsection E} \placefigure[force]{correct prefix}{test} \stoptext How to fix that? (I know that I can used something else than subsubsection, but it would be nice to get a proper fix.) Thank you, Mojca

issue with xtable in latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 13 May '15

13 May '15

Hans, I have the following sample: \setupindenting[yes, always, big] \starttext This is the first pagraph. \startbuffer[somextable] \startxtable[option=stretch, align=center] \startxrow \startxcell[width=.3\textwidth] a \stopxcell \startxcell[width=.2\textwidth] b \stopxcell \startxcell[width=.2\textwidth] c \stopxcell \startxcell[width=.3\textwidth] d \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stopbuffer \startxtable[option=stretch, align=center] \startxrow \startxcell[width=.2\textwidth] a \stopxcell \startxcell b \stopxcell \startxcell c \stopxcell \startxcell[width=.2\textwidth] d \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable This is the second paragraph. \getbuffer[somextable] This is the third paragraph. \stoptext With beta from 2015.05.13 13:04, the second and third paragraphs aren’t indented. With beta from 2015.03.25 22:13, all three paragraphs are indented. I’m afraid this may be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Re: [NTG-context] simplefonts vs typescripts
by david.boerschlein＠juno.com 13 May '15

13 May '15

I am still not able to set up the Noto fonts due mostly to sketchy/lack-of documentation on setting up ConTeXt fonts. I understand I need to set up typescripts but do not understand the syntax and/or semantics of the different commands and how to map the font names/paths (otf and ttf files) to reference them in the typescripts. I would like to create a utility that will create the typescript file for MKIV from the otf/ttf files themselves. Please provide me with any help/documentation. Thanks.

I have tried (but do not understand all the syntax and parameters of) typescripts and simplefonts. It seems that I probably should gravitate towards typescripts because the typescripts seem to be what comes with the distribution of other fonts. Is there detailed documentation describing all the parameters in detail and giving examples? All I found is some vague examples without any explanations in the contextgarden.net wiki. Is there a tool that I can use to look at the .ttf or .otf file and discern the values I need to put into the typescripts? Is there a tool to generate typescripts from the .ttf and/or .otf files or would one be easy for me to write in say Korn, Perl, or Python? Please advise! Thanks.
