RAL colours
by Pavneet Arora 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Of and on, I have struggled to find a colour space that is expressive enough for printing, but convenient to access through ConTeXt for day-to-day usage. I find with X11 that the emphasis on screen skews the colours to be brighter than what is desired, especially if one is dealing with coloured stock---say beige kraft---as I am doing with my current bit of typesetting. In this process I have come across the RAL colour space: http://www.ral-farben.de/content/application-help/all-ral-colours-names/ove… whose values can be conveniently (sort of) accessed at: http://rgb.to/ral/page/1 For my immediate needs, I have simply created a set of: \definecolor[<colourName>][h=HHHHHH] However, I am wondering if it might make sense to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? So my questions would be: 1. Is the RAL colour space a decent one for printing purposes? What would be disadvantages, if not? 2. Does colo-imp-ral.mkiv exist already? 3. If not, would others find it useful to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? If it doesn't then I would be happy to prepare one and submit it. Many thanks. -- ---- Pavneet Arora m: 647.406.6843 Waroc Informatik t: 416.937.9276

presets for setlayerframed
by Aditya Mahajan 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hi, Is it possible to set 'presets' for the framed settings of \setlayerframed? For example: \definelayer[text] \definelayer[annotate] \setupbackgrounds[text][background={text,foreground,annotate}] \starttext Testing layers: \setlayerframed[annotate][x=1cm,y=1cm][frame=off, align=middle] {\input ward \par} \setlayerframed[annotate][x=1cm,y=4cm][frame=off, align=middle] {\input tufte \par} \stoptext I don't want to repeat the `frame=off, align=middle` setting everytime (in may actual usecase, these are much more complicated settings). How can I do that? Thanks, Aditya

Unexpected results...
by Willi Egger 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Good afternoon, I downloaded the latest beta: current version: 2015.04.01 12:00 What i detect is not related to the latest version, but I think it is good to test with it… 1. When using the command \starthead..\stophead in an itemize with head style set to bold, not only the head gets bold but the whole item. On the other hand if using \head then it works ok. 2. I use a lot \Milli\Meter. When loading the module with \usemodule[units] it works fine. But in the log there is a message that this is an obsolete module. - This is unfortunately not true, because when not loading the module the compilation stops with an error of an undefined control sequence. I would be glad if this could be checked. Thank you so much. Kind regards Willi

Re: [NTG-context] Different renderings of cross references
by Otared Kavian 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Trying once more… Hi all, As explained in the example below, I would like to setup the referencing mechanism so that a cross reference within a given chapter gives only the number of the section and that of an equation, while if the same reference is used in another chapter then the number of the chapter is also included. Is this possible with mkiv? Best regards: OK Here is a minimal example of what I would like to obtain: %%%%% begin prefix-reference.tex \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupformulas[prefix=yes,prefixsegments=chapter:section,way=bysection,location=left] \def\eqref#1{(\in[eq:#1])} \starttext \startchapter[title=Introduction to sequences of numbers] \startsection[title=On sequences,reference=sec:Sequences] \placeformula[eq:Number-e] \startformula a_{n} := \sum_{k=0}^n {1 \over n!} \stopformula \stopsection The sequence defined in equation \eqref{Number-e} cannot converge to a rational number. (Here I would like to have (1.1) instead of (1.1.1)). \startsection[title=Cauchy sequences] The sequence defined in \eqref{Number-e} satisfies $a_{n} < a_{n+1} < 3$ but it does not converge to a rational number. (Here I would like to have (1.1) instead of (1.1.1)). \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title=What is a real number] \startsection[title=Limits of Cauchy sequences] We proved in \in{section}[sec:Sequences] that the sequence defined in equation \eqref{Number-e} cannot converge to a rational number. (Here I would like to have section 1.1, and equation (1.1.1)). \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%% begin prefix-reference.tex

Non-shortened month name in \date

Wiki / sample
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello, the "Sample 2" on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definedescription compiles well on my computer (one of the latest Ctx version) but not on wiki. (It happens to me time to time when I want to add a sample, mostly a snip from the mailing list.) IMHO, there is still a Ctx version mismatch between "latest Ctx Beta" (or another "stable Ctx version") and that on wiki. It would be nice: - to know which Ctx version compiles wiki samples (Ctx, Lua & MP "stamp" - automatically generated on each Ctx renewal - would be useful to appear (on the initial?) wiki page), - I guess wiki Ctx should renew more often (to prevent difference between the latest Ctx and that on wiki enlarges).

slightly offtopic: disabling autoresizing of adobe reader window when opening pdf document
by Csikos Bela 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Hello: This is kind of offtopic, still I post it here since it only occurs when I open some context manuals. I use Adobe Reader (acroread) 9.5.5 linux version. Frequently, when I open a context related document, eg NaturalTables.pdf downloaded from contextgarden (http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/NaturalTables.pdf) the document triggers resizing of adobe reader main window. This is very annoying, especially if I have several other documents open in separate tabs; all these tabs are resized as well and I have to adjust back the window size manually. I tried different settings in preferences but couldn't find a way to disable this behavior. How could I block autoresizing? I also googled but could not find any answer to this (though others have the same problem as well, eg https://forums.adobe.com/thread/793230) I write here since for me only context documents triggers this, so I guess context users know about this more. Thanks, bcsikos

line break between number and footnote text in paragraph footnotes
by mf 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hello, I have a problem with paragraph footnotes. I don't know how to prevent a line break occurring between the footnote number and the footnote text. Sometimes a thing like this happens: ... [main text] ... -------------- 1. text of the first footnote --- 2. text of the second one --- 3. text of the third one Is there a way to force ConTeXt to keep the "3." with "text of the third one"? Thanks in advance, Massi
