natural tables and columndistance/spaceinbetween
by Alan BRASLAU 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

In natural tables http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE the parameters columndistance=dimension, and spaceinbetween=dimension, will set the gaps between columns and rows, respectively. Is there some way of specifying row gaps for specific rows? For example, say that I only want a gap after the first row. I tried: \bTABLE \bTR [spaceinbetween=.25em] \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD A \eTD \bTD B \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD a \eTD \bTD b \eTD \eTR \eTABLE Alternately, I tried \setupTABLE [r][1][spaceinbetween=.25em] but these do not work. One might think about trying \bTR [bottomframe=on,framecolor=white,rulethickness=.25em] ... \eTR but this presents several problems: 1) When using background=color, the background color gives a hairline overflow beyond the rule, at least using the pdf viewers that I have on my computer. 2) there appears to be some interference between setting rulethickness and columndistance, so that spaces between columns disappear when putting a thick bottomframe. Of course, one could kludge a column separation using a rightframe, but this is not satisfactory. 3) The use of a white rule when one really wants to leave some space is not very satisfying. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Alan

Current status of epub export and documentation
by Jan U. Hasecke 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Hi all, I am interested in the epub export feature of ConTeXt/MKIV. There are a some hints in epub-mkiv-demo.tex epub-mkiv.pdf http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ePub I am looking for a more detailed example (or documentation) to learn what is possible and what not. (Eg. \showsetup{command-name} is not exported to epub) Does anybody already made a full validated epub ebook with ConTeXt including cover, titlepage, appendix etc. ? Is there more information about the current status of the export feature? A release schedule or roadmap? Background of my question is that I am looking for a single source publishing tool for printed books and ebooks. TIA juh

Command definitions in ma-cb-en.tex
by Jan U. Hasecke 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Hi all, this is a stupid question, I fear: In "ConTeXt Mark IV an excursion" in appendix A I see many command definitions. I browsed the sources of this document but could not find the point where these list is defined. I know that in setup-en.pdf there is an even longer list, but I could not find the source of this document. Can anyone shed some light on this mechanism? TIA juh

\rm for greek letters in math mode
by Kate F 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

I see the third \delta here as italic, where I would have expected it to be in roman, as for the "d" example below. Likewise for all greek letters, I think. Why is that? How can I have these in roman? \starttext \delta $\delta {\rm \delta}$\crlf d $d {\rm d}$ \stoptext Thanks, -- Kate

Re: [NTG-context] Unnumbered subject in TOC, numbered exercises in text
by Sytse Knypstra 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Thank you, Wolfgang, I changed 'special' into another word and replaced 'incrementnumber=yes' by 'incrementnumber=list'. But the result does still not reach my second goal: my exercise numbers are still 1 and 1 instead of having chapter number prefixes (1.1 and 2.1).

Reconciling unicode-math with LaTeX2e mathematics
by Maggyero 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

Is there a plan to have in ConTeXt the same kind of math behavior that Will Robertson implemented in the last version of his unicode-math LaTeX package (\mathrm, \mathit, \mathbf, \symrm, \symit, \symbf, etc.)? Because ConTeXt currently has the same math/text spacing issues in math mode that the old unicode-math package had. Will Roberston's talk (20 July 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW9Cwh9sj5w

Dear list,   In the following minimal example I would like to have:  - the headings of \special in the toc, unnumbered  - in the text, the numbers of the exercises preceded by the chapter number  The first goal is achieved when uncommenting the two options under \setuphead,  the latter is achieved when uncommenting only the second option.

meaning of error message?
by Alan Bowen 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

I have been experimenting with tagging. But my attempts with two files now have generated this sort of error message: lua error > lua error on line 62 in file c_Int-A002_Acerbi.tex: .../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-tag.lua:407: bad argument #2 to 'lpegmatch' (string expected, got boolean) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'lpegmatch' .../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-tag.lua:407: in function 'strippedtag' .../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/back-exp.lua:740: in function <.../ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/back-exp.lua:739> (...tail calls...) Could someone tell me what this means—is there are error in my encoding or a problem in lua? Alan

Smaller bullet points
by Kate F 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi, I'm defining a slightly smaller bullet point symbol: \definesymbol[smallbullet][\small\bullet] \setupitemize[1][smallbullet] This aligns the smaller bullet point to the baseline of text, which is too low. I'd like to have it vertically centered, such that it aligns in the middle of where the regular-sized \bullet would be. I tried using \inframed[height=\lineheight], but I couldn't find a way to make that end up in the right place. Any suggestions please? Thanks, -- Kate
