Unable to resave float
by Aditya Mahajan 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

I have a complex document, where I use \startbackground .... \startplacefigure[location={always,none}] ... \stopplacefigure ... \stopbackground (This is for exam solutions and the background is supposed to be a frame around the solution; the figure is a figure included in the solution). Occasionally, some of the floats are not placed in the output. For example $grep float filename.log gives: floatblocks > '1' placed floatblocks > '2' placed floatblocks > '3' placed floatblocks > order disturbed structure > floats > unable to resave float floatblocks > '5' placed floatblocks > '6' placed floatblocks > order disturbed structure > floats > unable to resave float floatblocks > '8' placed So, float 4 and 7 were not saved. It is bit tricky to create a minimal example, but any idea how I can prevent this. I am using version 2015.04.03 Thanks, Aditya

Export bugs
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Dear gang, Here are two export bugs, full test suite attached: ==========sh_ahmad-qajar-xml-test-highlight.tex=========== \setupexport[cssfile=sh_ahmad-qajar.css] \setupbackend[export=yes] \definehighlight[emphasis][style=\em] \definehighlight[important][style=bold] \starttext \startparagraph Some \emph{emphasis} and \important{important}. \emph{Emphasis} and \important{important}. \stopparagraph \stoptext ==========sh_ahmad-qajar-xml-test-highlight-div.xhtml========== <div> <div class="paragraph">Some emphasis and <div class="highlight important">important</div>. <div class="break"></div> Emphasis <div class="break"></div> and <div class="highlight important">important</div>.</div> </div> ========== The exported formatting of \emph vanishes in each instance, as well as misbehaves in the second case; \important behaves just fine. It seems the export doesn't like \em. Can this be fixed? Thanks and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

\lfloor, \rfloor, \lceil, \rceil vanish with \big, \Big, \bigg, \Bigg and their left and right variants
by Maggyero 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Dear NTG-ConTeXt members, The math delimiters for floor and ceiling functions (\lfloor, \rfloor, \lceil, \rceil) work with the automatic scaling commands (\left and \right) but vanish with the manual scaling commands (\big, \Big, \bigg, \Bigg, \bigl, \Bigl, \biggl, \Biggl, \bigr, \Bigr, \biggr, \Biggr). Do I use the right commands? Or could the developers fix that? Thank you in advance. Maggyero

Keeping section and subsection together
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hello, the following sample generates section title "5 Sec" as a last/solitary heading (section) on the page. ---- \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \section{Sec} \subsection{Subsec} \input ward } \stoptext ---- Is there a way to bind it with the next head (subsection) - so that "5 Sec", "5.1 Subsec" (and at least one line of the following paragraph) would be together on one page? Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Is there any up-to-date documentation on how to install fonts? The page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_a_TrueType_font,_step_by_step starts out by saying that it is out-of-date.

setupheads separator and stopper
by Csikos Bela 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hello list members: contextgarden wiki site http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupheads says that the \setupheads command "has been reported non-working for some people". For me the alternative=inmargin/normal options work, but the separator= and stopper= options have no effect. I would like my chapter, section etc numbers to have a dot after them, eg 1. 1.1. etc. How could I achieve this? Just in curiousity, how can I change the separator? Thanks in advance, bcsikos

how to insert symbols into document?
by Csikos Bela 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

Hello context users: I would like to insert symbols into my document, especially black-diamond and losenge symbols. I read symbols page at contextgarden but still don't know how to do it. I also tried \showsymbolset[was] etc but the symbols but I did not find these (and many other symbols either) in the output pages. I found that symb-imp-mis.mkiv file defines this symbol (line 49) but I don't know how to make it show. Do I have to load specific symbol fonts? If yes how can I find out which font has the given symbols? What I tried so far included: % begin code \usesymbols[imp-mis] \starttext ◆ \blackdiamond \symbol [blackdiamond] % end code None of these show anything. Thanks in advance, bcsikos
