I have also made a post at tex.stackexchange.com I am trying to get Arabic Chapter Name in the header and some arabic text in the margins using ConTeXt MarkIV Here is the code: \mainlanguage[arabic] \setupdirections[bidi=global] \definefontfeature [arabic] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes, liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,tlig=yes, calt=yes,trep=yes,clig=yes, mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes] \starttypescript [serif] [arabic] \definefontsynonym [Arabic-Regular] [file:ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf] [features=arabic] \definefontsynonym [Arabic-Bold] [file:ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf] [features=arabic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [arabic] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Arabic-Regular] [features=arabic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Arabic-Bold] [features=arabic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Arabic] \definetypeface [Arabic] [rm] [serif] [arabic] [default] \stoptypescript \def\ArabicGlobalDir {\pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT\pardir TRT\textdir TRT} \def\ArabicParDir {\textdir TRT\pardir TRT} \def\ArabicTextDir {\textdir TRT} \define\setarabic {\ArabicGlobalDir% \usetypescript[Arabic]% \setupbodyfont[Arabic,20pt]} \definestartstop [arabicpar] [commands=\Arabic\ArabicParDir] \define[1]\RT {{\Arabic\ArabicTextDir#1}} \pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT \pardir TRT \textdir TRT \setuppapersize[A4] \setuplayout[ grid=min, backspace=55.999mm, width=130mm, topspace=39.666mm, height=210mm, header=12mm, footer=9mm, ] \setupbodyfont[Arabic,24pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=42pt] \setupheads[number=no] \setuphead[chapter] [style=\bfd,before=,after=\blank,alternative=middle,grid=both] \setuphead[section][style=\bfc,before=\blank,after=,grid=both] \setupbackgrounds[header][text][frame=off, bottomframe=on] \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[chapter]}] [{صفحة }] [{صفحة }] [{\getmarking[chapter]}] \setupinmargin[stack=yes] \starttext \chapter{الآجرومية} \margintext{الآجرومية} الحمد لله رب العالمين، وصلى الله وسلم وبارك على عبده ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين، أما بعد: فلا يخفى على من له أدنى عناية بالعلم الشرعي لا سيما ما يتعلق بالكتاب العزيز والسنة النبوية لا يخفى عليه أهمية معرفة اللغة العربية بفنونها العشرة أو الإثني عشر: \stoptext here is the screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/too54uv7r/

Binaries for Linux (warning)
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi, Alan now tried compiling the luatex binaries for Linux on Debian rather than on some ancient CentOS (like he did in the past). In case that any Linux user experiences problems, please let us know and we'll switch back to CentOS with an older libc, otherwise we would prefer to stick with Debian (oldstable). Mojca

xtables doesn't work in CLD
by Romain Diss 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Hi all, I am trying to use xtables in a CLD document but when I add a row, it doesn't compile anymore. Is there something wrong? If xtables is not usable with CLD, what is the best set of table commands to use with CLD? % Minimum not working example : context.starttext() context.startxtable() context.startxrow() context.startxcell() context("Test") context.stopxcell() context.stopxrow() context.stopxtable() context.stoptext() % end of the example. All the best. -- Romain Diss

\quote inside \emph
by Alan Bowen 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

When used in inside \emph, \quote puts the words cited into roman face. Thus, \starttext \emph{The \quote{Problemata} in Medieval Times} \emph{The \quote{\emph{Problemata}} in Medieval Times} \stoptext This seems odd. Should \quote not leave the style of the text as it is? That is, should the output of line 1 not look like that of line 2? Alan

TeX markup in \setupinteraction for PDF metadata fields
by Kate F 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Hi, Is it possible to have TeX markup executed in the text fields for \setupinteraction? I would like to do something like: \definemarking[xyz] \marking[xyz]{Hello} \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteraction[title={\getmarking[xyz][current]}] \setupinteraction[author={\getmarking[xyz][current]}] \starttext xyz=\getmarking[xyz][current] \stoptext But my generated PDF has literally "\getmarking[xyz][current]}" for the title and author. Thanks, -- Kate

pagereferences
by Meer, Hans van der 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Defining \pagereference[xyz] en calling this some pages later with \atpage[xyz] I get as reference "at a previous page" (perhaps not exactly, the typesetting is done in dutch). This an unwanted result, that previous page is 7 pages before. How can I restrict this to either "on this page" or to the exact number of the page in question? Hans van der Meer

Automatic negative tracking to prevent slight overfull hbox's
by Alexander Dyomin 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

Dear list, when I stumble upon a slightly overhanging line (where it's not allowed to hyphenate the hanging word and putting it on next line leaves huge whitespaces), decreasing letterspacing in that line seems like a good idea, and I manually insert \kerncharacters commands to do the trick. Here's a MWE for the purpose of demonstration: % ConTeXt code \setuppapersize[A5] \setupbackgrounds[text] [rightframe=on,framecolor=red,rulethickness=0.1pt] %right margin line \setupalign[hz,hanging] % microtypography enabled \definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \definetypeface[mainface][rm][specserif][Linux Libertine O] [default] \setupbodyfont[mainface,14pt] \mainlanguage[russian] \setupindenting[yes,medium,first] \starttext {\kerncharacters[-0.018] Здесь будет длинный-предлинный текст, \mbox{в~коем}} никак нельзя перенести строку. Запрещено { \kerncharacters[-0.008] разрывать телефонные номера, например, \mbox{(000)1234-5678}}, многозначные числа и дефисные написания. \stoptext Is the a way for automating such negative tracking? ---------------------------------- Best regards, Alexander Dyomin
