New btx code problem with quote protrusion, redux
by Rik Kabel 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

At Wolfgang’s request, a new thread for this subject. I have cleaned up the example from the July 5 posting, but the problems are the same as shown there. In July Alan suggested that there might a bug here, but nothing has been done to address it since then. Wolfgang suggested (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg35580.html) that method=font is required for proper protrusion handling for quotations. 1. When \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] is present /and //there is //no citation//in a footnote within a startquotation block and a bibliography is produced/, compilation proceeds normally. 2. When \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] is present /and //there is a citation//in a footnote within a startquotation block and a bibliography is produced,/ the compilation complains of a missing right curly. When allowed to continue to completion the protrusion for the opening quotation marks does not match the protrusion for similar marks not produced through \startquotation. Citations in footnotes outside quotation blocks are not a problem. Without a bibliography (\placelistofpublications) 3. When \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] is present, the [right] option of \startblockquotation is treated as text within the quotation. This can be resolved by adding “leftmargin=” to the \setupdelimitedtext[quotation] command (but that complicates matters when you want other alignments). Similarly, the [left] and [middle] options are ignored as options and appear as text. 4. When “method=font” is not present, protrusion for block quotations (\startblockquotation … \stopblockquotation) is greater than and not aligned with other protrusion. 5. When “method=font” is not present, protrusion for non-block quotations (\quotation{…}) is not done at all. 6. With the older bibliography system, footnotes in citations in quotation blocks do not cause a halt in compilation. 7. With the older bibliography system, item 3 is still a problem, that is, method=font appears to be inimical to the left, right, and middle options for \startblockquotation without regard to the bibliography system in use. \showframe \definefontfeature [default][protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hz,hanging] % The next line should allow \startquotation to protrude quotes properly \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] %================== % For testing with old regime, enable next and disable following %\setupbibtex[database=sample.bib] % requires sample.bib in current directory %------------------ % For testing with new regime, disable above and enable following \definebtxdataset [sample] % finds and uses distribution sample.bib \usebtxdataset [sample.bib] %================== \starttext \startparagraph There is a citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[Eijkhout1991].} \stopparagraph \startparagraph \startquotation[right] There is a citation in the footnote to this block quotation\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[hh2010a].} \stopquotation \stopparagraph \startparagraph \startquotation[right] There is no citation in the footnote to this block quotation\footnote{This footnote has no citation.} \stopquotation \stopparagraph \startparagraph \quotation{There is a citation in the footnote to this non-block quotation paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[Eijkhout1991].}} \stopparagraph \startparagraph \quotation{There is no citation in the footnote to this non-block quotation paragraph\footnote{This footnote has no citation.}} \stopparagraph \startparagraph “There is a citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[Eijkhout1991].}” \stopparagraph \startparagraph “There is no citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has no citation.}” \stopparagraph \blank[big] %================== % For testing with old regime, enable next and disable following %\placepublications %------------------ % For testing with new regime, disable above and enable following \placelistofpublications %================== \stoptext -- Rik

\fetchmark broken despite change in strc-mar.mkiv with fix
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

Dear all, I saw that \fetchmark command broken and applied the (small) change as explained in http://www.mail-archive.com/dev-context%40ntg.nl/msg02349.html but the command is still giving wrong marks in headers. Is there any other fix or should I run some command after having modified the strc-mar.mkiv file ? I need to use \fetchmark in a if command and I understand \getmarking is not usable for this. Many thanks Best regards Joseph Canedo

\setfirstline for headings/titles ?
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Dear all, Still playing with \setfirstline, I was wondering how to apply it for headings as well ? Naive sample below does not work for the subject title, most probably because headings/titles have different processing than normal paragraphs. \definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2] \definefirstline[bbigline][alternative=line, style=\tfa] \starttext \startcolumnset [TwoColumns] \startsubject[title={\setfirstline[bbigline] A very very very long title for subject we know will not fit in single line of output}] % first line with different style as in the text below ? \setfirstline[bbigline] Some paragraph content here. First line should be printed bigger than rest of lines. \stopsubject \stopcolumnset \stoptext Thanks a lot, Best regards Joseph Canedo

issue with oxia in latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Oct '15

28 Oct '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Theano Didot] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=.5ex] έέ \stopTEXpage \stoptext Theano Didot can be downloaded from http://ousia.tk/theano-2.0.otf.zip. For some reason unknown to me, latest beta from 2015.10.09 21:28 only prints epislon with tonos (from Greek the code range) and ignores epsilon with oxia (from the extended Greek code range). My previous beta from 2015.09.13 13:31 prints both accented Greek vowels fine. Could anyone confirm the bug? As far as I have tested, it only happens with this particular font. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Dropcaps in ConTeXt
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Dear all, I try to typeset some text with dropcaps which are pdf files in a 2 column text. I came up with 3 possibilities as shown in the sample below (attached D1.pdf). So far best solution seems to use the lettrine module, but I wondered if it would be possible to cope with the issue with figure and text overlapping if the first paragraph is very short (ie avoid using \\) ? Had a look to lettrine module source and wondered where I could find some documentation on the low level ConTeXt commands used in there ? For example to amend the code to avoid Lines= and use the actual figure size. Sample follows: \definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2] \usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \startcolumnset [TwoColumns] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\externalfigure[D1.pdf]} % how to have left side figure with text wrapping around it ? This is a first paragraph. \input tufte \starthanging{\externalfigure[D1.pdf]} This is a first paragraph.\\ % how to have \par here ? \input tufte \stophanging \lettrine[Image=yes, Lines=4, Nindent=0pt, Findent=0.5em]{D1.pdf} % avoid Lines and use actual figure size ? This is a first paragraph.\\ % how to have \par here ? \input tufte \stopcolumnset \stoptext Thanks Regards Joseph Canedo

\setfirstline Inside columns environment does not seem to work
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Dear all, I would like to use the first line specific style magic but I cannot make it to work within 2 column text. I give a simple example (I’ve modified from previous post example on this list). Is that expected ? If you uncomment the \startcolumns and \stopcolumns below, the first line style disappears (both bigger font line and dark blue 2 first words). I use standalone ConTeXt (installed 1 week ago or so). $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.62 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2015.10.09 21:28 Thanks Best Joseph Canedo \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext % \startcolumns[n=2] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \setupalign[tolerant] \definefirstline [fancy] [alternative=line, style=\tfd] \setfirstline[fancy] \input tufte \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input ward \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input knuth \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input bryson \page \definefirstline [fancy] [alternative=word, color=darkblue, style=bold, n=2] \setfirstline[fancy] \input tufte \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input ward \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input knuth \par \setfirstline[fancy] \input bryson \page % \stopcolumns \stoptext

Line height - changes in defaults
by Jan Tosovsky 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Dear All, comparing same source generated in 0.80 and in recent 0.81 beta I can see changes in default line height. See the attached image - that black text is the current, the grey is the old one. In my B5 page size there were approx 44 lines while now only 39. It can be reproduced with this MWE: \setuppapersize[B5] \setuplayout[header=0cm, footer=1cm, grid=yes] \showgrid % the used font doesn't seem to have any influence on this %\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default, quality}] %\setupbodyfont[palatino, 10pt] \starttext \input{tufte} \stoptext Is this new value a new default or a bug? In other words, should it be fixed on my or your side? Thanks, Jan

Improving Pandoc Support for ConTeXt
by Andrew Dunning 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Dear list, Pandoc, if you have not heard of it before, is a rather brilliant program for converting text between different markup languages: it allows, in essence, for technology-independent writing. It has been mentioned a few times on this list, with Pablo Rodríguez recently developing a set of templates for typesetting its XHTML output (at https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context) One of its aims is to ease the process of producing a high-quality PDF; it has the strongest support for LaTeX at the moment, but it seems to me that ConTeXt would ultimately provide a more reliable and lightweight solution. The basic support is already in place; it only needs to be more thoroughly updated to take advantage of MkIV. I am working on improving Pandoc's generic ConTeXt template, at <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/blob/master/default.context>; the initial proposal is at <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/pull/138>, which aims to show more of ConTeXt’s potential to the user through making variables available that configure its options. I am still new to ConTeXt (having used LaTeX for several years), and could not find a recent starter document. The example at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Detailed_Example> is from 2006, and clearly does not exhibit the system’s full potential. I would be grateful to know of any potential areas for improvement. If you feel even more inclined to develop the Pandoc support for ConTeXt, its writer can be found at <https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/master/src/Text/Pandoc/Writers/ConTeXt.hs>. In my experience, ConTeXt is much easier to use than LaTeX, but it is more difficult to get started with initially due to the lack of resources for new users; it is my hope that full support for it in Pandoc will provide one way of delving into it more deeply. All best, Andrew Dunning PhD Candidate Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto http://andrewdunning.ca
