margindata does not work in latest beta
by Thomas A. Schmitz 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi, margindata have stopped to work in the latest beta. Simple test \setuplayout [leftmargin=2cm] \starttext Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large-scale \inleft{100}user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \stoptext works with 2015.07.24 13:58, no output in margin with 2015.08.04 01:25 All best Thomas

Selectively supressing ligatures
by juh 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi, I use the package "selnoligs.sty" in LuaLaTeX to selectively suppress ligatures. >From the selnolig package description: "The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TEXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelfful rather than as shelfful." This works with LuaLaTeX: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage[ngerman]{selnolig} \begin{document} Auflage (no ligature) Abfluss (ligature) Auffahrt (no ligature) Schiffe (ligature) \end{document} How can I achieve the same in ConTeXt? This does not work: \mainlanguage[de] \starttext \language[de] Auflage Abfluss Auffahrt Schiffe \stoptext TIA juh

Bibliographies in MkIV
by Martin Moncrieffe 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi all, I'm unable to get the "andtext" option to \setupsite working. According to the old bib module manual, it should control the separation between two authors. Thus the following: \setupbibtex[database=sample,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=num] \setupcite[left=(,right=),inbetween={,},andsep={,}] \starttext This is a test of the context citation module in MkIV\cite[hh2010a,Eijkhout1991]. \placepublications[criterium=text] \stoptext using the following sample.bib @ARTICLE{hh2010a, author = hh, title = {The Font Name Mess}, journal = {MAPS}, year = {2010}, volume = {40}, pages = {2-8}, keywords = {context}, } @BOOK{Eijkhout1991, title = {\TeX\ by Topic. A \TeX nician's Reference}, publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, year = {1991}, author = {Victor Eijkhout}, address = {London}, keywords = {general}, } Should produce in the output (1,2) but instead produces (1 and 2). Is there a quick fix? Regards. __martin

Command that does not give the expected result (Metafun)
by Fabrice Couvreur 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi Hans, In the document Metafun, you use commands that I like, and I try to understand the definition and operation, which is not always easy with TeX commands. Also, in the following code, this does not give the expected result. Thank you. Fabrice \showframe \setupcolors [state=start] \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative] \startuniqueMPgraphic{titled} path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ; pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; drawoptions(withcolor .625yellow) ; draw llcorner p--lrcorner p ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[titled][\uniqueMPgraphic{titled}] \def\ChapterCommand#1#2% {\setbox0=\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{#1\hss}% \hskip-\leftmarginwidth \hskip-\leftmargindistance \framed [background=titled,frame=off,offset=0pt] {\box0 \hskip\leftmargindistance #2}} \setuphead [chapter,section,subsection] [command=\ChapterCommand, color=darkred] \starttext \chapter{First} \section{First} \subsection{First} \stoptext

color (rendering) intent
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hi, in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2009.10.27#Data_files there’s: • new parameter for \setupcolors: intent=none|overprint|knockout I had \setupcolors[intent=overprint] in my environments, but since a few betas, I get „overprint“ printed on all pages, messing with the layout. Now I changed this to \setupcolors[intent={Uncoated FOGRA29 (ISO 12647-2:2004)}], and it works again. As far as I can see, it doesn’t change anything, I find no color intent mentioned in the PDF. The color profiles are listed in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDFX for \setupbackend; intent in \setupcolors is not documented. Can you shed any light on that? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

bug with definefloat and caption case
by Brian R. Landy 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

When I setup a custom float with \definefloat[exhibit][exhibits], the word "Exhibit" in the caption is printed with the first letter uppercased for the first 32 exhibits. However, starting with the 33rd exhibit, the first letter uppercase is lost. For example: \definefloat[exhibit][exhibits] \starttext \dorecurse{45}{\placeexhibit[here][fig:test\recurselevel]{title\recurselevel}{content\recurselevel}} \stoptext yields exhibits with these titles: ... Exhibit 31 Exhibit 32 exhibit 33 exhibit 34 ... This doesn't happen with the built-in types because they have entries in lang-txt.lua. I am using 2015.08.05. I wasn't Best regards, Brian

I have failed with both xtables and paragraphs. Wnat am I missing in each case? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Documentation: full list of commands
by juh 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Hello, even though the commands in the autogenerated command list (http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf) are not commented the document is useful to me. In a MWE on this list I saw the command \doifoddpage which is not in the list. Wiki and even Google does not find anything about this command. I think that I kind of understand the command, but I wonder how many commands are out there I've never heard of. So my question: Is it possible to have a complete list of all commands used in ConTeXt? juh -- Software-Dokumentation mit Sphinx http://www.amazon.de/dp/1497448689/ Paperback: 224 Seiten
