Different output with \blank[force, ...] in MkII and MkIV
by Wolfgang Schuster 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi, the force keyword for the \blank commands create an unwanted space in MkIV when you use it at the begin of page compared with MkII. Attached are the results from MkII and MkIV which have been produced with the following example. In MkIV the first page has an extra line while the space on the second page is smaller than a complete line. %%%% begin example \setuppapersize[A7][A7] \showgrid \starttext \blank[force,line] text \page text \blank[force,line] text \stoptext %%%% end example Kind regards, Wolfgang

Problem in using vlingrid() and hlingrid() macros (Metafun)
by Fabrice Couvreur 15 Mar '15

Hi, I encounter some problems in the use of vlingrid() and hlingrid() macros. In the code below, we see that the grid is not correct. Does the code can be improved ? thank you, Fabrice \starttext \startMPcode path p ; u := 2cm ; v:= 1cm ; p := (-u,-5v)--(3u,-5v)--(3u,4v)--(-u,4v)--cycle ; drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled 0.5pt withcolor \MPcolor{mycolor}); draw vlingrid(-u,3u,u,4u,9v) shifted (0,-5v) ; draw hlingrid(-5v,4v,v,9v,4u) shifted (-u,0) ; drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled 1pt) ; drawarrow (-u,0)--(3u,0) ; drawarrow (0,-5v)--(0,4v) ; draw curvedfunction ("x", "3*x*x-5*x+1", -1, 3, 0.01) xyscaled (u,v) withcolor red ; draw curvedfunction ("x", "-5*x+1", -1, 3, 0.01) xyscaled (u,v) withcolor blue ; draw curvedfunction ("x", "7*x-11", -1, 3, 0.01) xyscaled (u,v) withcolor green ; label.bot(btex $x$ etex,(2.97u,-0.1v)) ; label.rt(btex $y$ etex,(0.01u,3.9v)) ; label.llft("0",(0,0)) ; dotlabel.urt("A",(0,v)) ; dotlabel("",(u,-4v)) ; label.rt("C",(1.02u,-4v)) ; dotlabel.lrt("B",(2u,3v)) ; label.bot("1",(u,0)) ; label.lft("1",(0,v)) ; clip currentpicture to p ; \stopMPcode \stoptext

Tables, Row Span, and Colors
by Troy Henderson 15 Mar '15

15 Mar '15

The following code produces my table, but I could not get the text "Region" to span rows 3-7. So, I would like 1. the word "Region" to be inside the table and not "hacked" in the way that I have it. 2. to make the (spanned) cell containing "Years" have a gray background. 3. to make each of the "column heading" cells (i.e., the ones containing "<1", "1-2", ..., "15+", and "Total" to have a gray background. 4. to have the (spanned) cell containing "Region" (from #1) have a gray background. 5. to have the "row heading" cells (i.e., the ones containing "East", Midwest", "South", "West", and "Total") have a gray background. I would appreciate any help in attaining this wish list.

\placefootnotes at the end of each chapter, conditionally
by Alan BRASLAU 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

I have a simple problem: I would like to place \startsubject[title=Footnotes] \placefootnotes \stopsubject at the end of each chapter, thus effectively before each \stopchapter BUT only if there are footnotes to be placed, i.e. I do not want to have empty Footnotes subjects appearing in my document. Supplementary question, just for fun: how to specify title=Footnote if there is only one? Thanks Alan

Problem with MkIV and TikZ picture remembering
by Jörg Weger 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

In the minimal working example below inside of a text two words should be printed inside of rounded TikZ rectangles and should be connected by an TikZ arrow pointing from the first word to the other. TikZ offers the remember picture/overlay option for that. The MWE works in MkII (command “texexec”) which I am not using, but not in the latest MkIV (command “context”). The problem might be that according to the PGF/TikZ manual “You need to use a driver that supports picture remembering and you need to run TEX twice” (16.13.1 Referencing a Node in a Different Picture). So my questions are: 1.) Does LuaTeX support TikZ picture remembering? 2.) If so, how can I get ConTeXt MkIV to “run TeX twice”? 3.) If all of the above worked, would that work also if the inline TikZ pictures to be remembered are on another file referenced via \input? I have seen a solution similar to what I want to achieve in the METAFUN manual but I don’t have a clue how to get that METAPOST alternative working. Greetings Jörg %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% START MWE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[shapes.misc,arrows] \starttext \tikz[baseline,remember picture] \node[rounded rectangle,draw,anchor=text] (n1) {this}; belongs to \tikz[baseline,remember picture] \node[rounded rectangle,draw,anchor=text] (n2) {that}; \starttikzpicture [remember picture,overlay] \draw[->] (n1.north) to [bend left] (n2.north); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% STOP MWE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

setup for paragraph styles
by mf 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hello, I'd like to kwnow the commands I should use in ConTeXt to define styles for paragraphs of text that are not headers/titles nor normal text. With titles I know I must use: \definehead[MyTitle][title] \setuphead[MyTitle][...] What should I use for texts like subtitles, dates of letters, signatures? They are "paragraphs" often made by a few words, with a different alignment, margins, style and vertical space above and below. For a long quote I've seen that I can use: \definedelimitedtext[MySpecialText] \setupdelimitedtext[MySpecialText] Are those the right commands for my purpose in ConTeXt? In particular, I'm typesetting XHTML, where all those elements are <p class="subtitle">, <p class="letter-date">, <p class="signature"> and so on. An example taken from my xml environment: ... \startxmlsetups xml:myenv \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body|h3|p|i}{xml:*} ... \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{p[@class='letter-date']}{xml:p:letter-date} ... \stopxmlsetups ... \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \page[no]\rightaligned{\noindent\xmlflush{#1}}\par\page[no] \stopxmlsetups ... Is that the right way or is it better to define and setup a style like this? \define_???_[LetterDate] \setup_???_[LetterDate][ before=..., after=..., ..., ] and use it like this: \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \startLetterDate \xmlflush{#1} \stopLetterDate \stopxmlsetups And if it's better like that, what should I write instead of _???_ ? Thanks, Massi

Dear list, I’m afraid that the following sample shows a bug in interline space for footnotes: \startsetups[setups:footnote] \setupinterlinespace[line=6ex] \stopsetups \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=serried] \setupnote[footnote][paragraph=yes, setups=setups:footnote] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{These are footnotes\footnote{\input knuth}. } \stoptext Could anyone confirm it or explain me what I’m missing?

Hi all, If I run this minimal example \starttext � \stopluacode \stoptext I get tex error > error on line 3 in file /data/tmp/u1.tex: ! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence and some more lines. The character above is: Character: � Character name: REPLACEMENT CHARACTER Charblock: Specials Category: Other symbol Unicode: U+fffd UTF8: 0xefbfbd which is a valid utf8 character. Questions: 1. Why is it considered to be invalid? 2. Are there other valid utf8 characters which are considered invalid? Just wanting to understand. -- Manfred
