Problems with alignchar and width=broad
by Ben Morrow 23 Nov '15

Hi, [I'm not subscribed to the list, so I would appreciate it if people could keep me in the CC.] Recent versions of ConTeXt seem to have developed a problem with TABLE, where aligncharacter=yes and width=broad won't work together. This document demonstrates: \starttext \bTABLE[width=\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=broad] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=fit] \setupTABLE[c][3][width=fit,aligncharacter=yes] \bTR\bTD xxx \eTD\bTD 10 hrs @ 30 \eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[nc=2]\eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR %\bTR\bTD\eTD\bTD\eTD\bTD 300.00 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Like that, with a row with [nc=2], the first two columns are typeset directly on top of each other. If that line is replaced with the commented line underneath it, the overlap goes away, but the table is much wider than it should be and runs off the edge of the page. In both cases, the problem can be removed either by removing the [aligncharacter=yes] or by replacing [width=broad] with [width=fit]. This is with the TeXLive15 version of context, 2015.05.18 12:26. I have also reproduced it with live.contextgarden.net, which I think is the same version. The problem did not occur with the TeXLive14 version, which was 2014.05.21 22:04. Ben

Hi all, Tomorrow afternoon (Sunday Nov 22) we will move all the ntg mailing lists to a new server. During that move, all ntg.nl email services will be interrupted for a few hours. I will do another post once the move is complete. Besides temporary unavailability, no noticeable changes are expected. Best wishes, Taco (on behalf of the ntg server maintenance team)

by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][GFS Didot] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext effective flew {\sc Small caps} \stoptext If I compile it with latest beta, everything is fine (as expected). But if I compile it with latest stable (2015.05.18 12:26), I only get a blank page. Could you compile the sample above with latest beta and confirm wheter you get a completely blank page? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

question about the \starteffect[hidden]
by Jeong Dal 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Dear all, I need to hide some part of the text while keep the space for them . I found a very nice command “ \starteffct[hidden]” It works well in most cases. But it couldn’t hide horizontal bars in math mode. Is there a way to hide horizontal bars also? Here is an sample code. Thank you. Dalyoung %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\StartHide{\doifmode{nodetails}{\starteffect[hidden]}} \def\StopHide{\doifmode{nodetails}{\stopeffect}} \enablemode[nodetails] \starttext Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. \StartHide Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. Here is the test file for hiding something. Below, the same sentence is hiding. \StopHide But the horizontal bar in the fraction mode still appears. \startformula \frac{12}{1234567} \stopformula Hiding mode \StartHide \startformula \frac{12}{1234567} \stopformula \StopHide \stoptext

Arranging columns (rotated U-Shape). Do you know a way to do in ConTeXt (with or without column sets)?
by Leonard Siebeneicher 21 Nov '15

21 Nov '15

Dear readers. Using ConTeXt MkIV. I try to figure out how to use column sets such that one can place a column seperately beside other columns. I did not found a way. The setup for columnsets should look like a rotated U-shape %% /Page 1 _________________\ %% +------+ +------+ +------+ %% | | |cset-1| |cset-1| %% |cset-3| +------+ +------+ %% | | %% | | +------+ +------+ %% | | |cset-2| |cset-2| %% +------+ +------+ +------+ Text should flow inside cset-1 columns automatically, without need to force column break by hand (like \column). I get something like %% /Page 1 _________________\ %% +------+ +------+ %% |cset-1| |cset-1| %% +------+ +------+ %% %% +------+ +------+ %% |cset-2| |cset-2| %% +------+ +------+ %% %% /Page 2 _________________\ %% +------+ %% | | %% |cset-3| %% | | %% | | %% | | %% +------+ Is it possible to do with columnsets? Are there other ways without columnsets? Thank you for reading. Regards, Leonard Siebeneicher _____ My ConTeXt-File looks like %% begin file %% vvvvvvvvvv \usemodule[visual] \definecolumnset[cset-1][n=3,balance=yes] \definecolumnset[cset-2][n=3,balance=yes] \definecolumnset[cset-3][n=3,balance=yes] %% ??? \starttext\showgrid \setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][1][18] \setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][2][18] \setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][3][18] \startcolumnset[cset-1]\dorecurse{2}{\column\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][1][20] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][2][20] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][3][20] \startcolumnset[cset-2]\dorecurse{2}{\column\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset %% Now lets return to line 1 on page 1 to overlap columns \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][1][1] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][2][1] \setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][3][1] \startcolumnset[cset-3]\dorecurse{2}{\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset \stoptext %% Oops, a second page has been added

Issue with initial (new beta)
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear all, First of all, thanks for new beta. It fixes the initial feature (in previous beta there were not typeset at all). But while testing (a bit somewhat extreme example to push the limits) I came up with some initial letter hanging in the footer (page 3). Not sure the issue is linked with mixedcolumns but could not reproduce in plain vanilla environment. Also I noticed that if the paragraph is too short the initial overwrites the next paragraph(s) (to reproduce simply comment out the mixedcolumns). MWE: \starttext \startmixedcolumns[balance=yes] \dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \placeinitial \input{ward} \setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \placeinitial \input{knuth} } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext Admitedly this example has lots of lettrines. I added some \testcolumn to fix that, but now some columns are not balanced (page 3) \starttext \startmixedcolumns[balance=yes] \dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \testcolumn[4] \placeinitial \input{ward} \setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \testcolumn[6] \placeinitial \input{knuth} } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext I was wondering if there were any settings to try more “aggressive” balancing (in the example here it might be difficult). or an alternative way to let the initial not hang into the footer that might be more “balanced” friendly. Many thanks for any hint, Best regards Joseph

new beta
by Hans Hagen 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hi, There is a new beta coming but it goes in sync with a new release of luatex (0.85). As there have been some fundamental changes the macros and engine need to be updated in sync so when something goes wrong with an update, be patient and wait till binaries are in sync with macros for your platform. By the end of this week the garden should be ok. The 0.85 release will be followed by a 0.90 early next year and 0.95 for texlive 2016. Then at the 10th context meeting we can release 1.00. After that the functionality of luatex is mostly stable but we can (and will) play with a follow up (so 2.* version will be betas again upto a 3.* release). We've not run out of ideas yet.

vertical space with \reference
by Michael Green 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Context puts extra vertical between “Line one" and “Line two” in this example. Should it do that? \starttext Line one. \reference[refs]{}% Line two. \stoptext I ask because pandoc inserts \reference[refs]{}% at the beginning of its bibliography section; that produces extra vertical space. I do not think this command should produce any space at all, but perhaps I am mistaken. Thank you!
