output file size with repeated image
by Pablo Rodriguez 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \starttext \startmode[repeated-image] \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \externalfigure[cow]\input zapf\par}}} \stopmode \startmode[single-image] \externalfigure[cow] \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \input zapf\par}}} \stopmode \startmode[no-image] \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \input zapf\par}}} \stopmode \stoptext Output file sizes with different modes are the following: --mode=repeated-image 745KB --mode=single-image 303KB --mode=no-image 302KB Although the image is the same (and it is only embedded once) file size with repeated image is almost two and a half times that the version with a single image. Is this right or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\noheadersandfooterlines
by John Culleton 14 Apr '15

The Manual lists this command in the index of commands but it seems not to exist on the page referenced (88). And it I just want to suppress the page number on the first page but still have this page count as page number 'i' (I am using roman numbers for the frontmatter.) -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

(hindi) font questions
by Harald Koenig 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hi, I'd like to type set a single hindi/devanagari word in a chapter heading (using standalone MkVI), where I need your help for some questions/problems: - which (free) font do you suggest ? right now I'm using "Lohit-Devanagari". text font is 11pt Palatino, Lohit doesn't match too good, and a bold version would be nice for the chapter head. - font size: how do I define this font to get automatic/matching font sizes for both the chapter head and the title of contents ? right now I use \definefont [hindib] [Lohit-Devanagari at 24pt] ... \mychapter{Danke -- {\hindib धन्यवाद}} which gives a reaosonable font size for the chapter title, but of course that's way too large for the TOC:-( what's the right way to define a "scalable" single font (or two, if you have a suggestion for a normal+bold devanagari font) in ConTeXt ? thanks, Harald -- "I hope to die ___ _____ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word.", 0--,| /OOOOOOO\ Donald E.

Character spacing and url
by Wolfgang Schuster 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hi Hans, the character spacing mechanism should be disabled for certain commands because it produces unwanted spaces when you want to typeset a URL. \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] \useurl[google][https://www.google.com] \starttext text: «text» \goto{\hyphenatedurl{https://www.google.com}}[url(https://www.google.com)]\vrule \goto{\resetcharacterspacing\hyphenatedurl{https://www.google.com}}[url(https://www.google.com)]\vrule \url[google]\vrule \resetcharacterspacing\url[google]\vrule \stoptext Wolfgang

\hyphenatedurl problem
by Rik 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

With versions from 20150325 and earlier, the following example code produced nicely wrapped URLs. With current betas, the URLs do not wrap. (Perhaps this is what Wolfgang meant when he wrote, in a reply in the thread _Turning off French character spacing_: The \url and \hyphenatedurl need to be fixed but I do not know that for sure.) \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttexdefinition href #1 \goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)] \stoptexdefinition \useURL[aUrl][https://Some.awfullylong.net/url_with_lots_of_places_to.html?make=a_reasonable] \useURL[bUrl][https://Some.awfullylong.net/url_with_lots_of_places_to.html?make=a_reasonable][][\hyphenatedurl{https://Some.awfullylong.net/url_with_lots_of_places_to.html?make=a_reasonable}] \starttext goto href macro: \href{https://Some.awfullylong.net/url_with_lots_of_places_to.html?make=a_reasonable}\par useURL without hyphenatedurl \from[aUrl]\par useURL with hyphenatedurl \from[bUrl]\par \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

bug in \sethyphenatedurlafter, \sethyphenatedurlbefore and \sethyphenatedurlnormal?
by Pablo Rodriguez 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hans, the minimal sample doesn’t compile with latest beta from 2015.04.08 21:31: \sethyphenatedurlafter{./-_} \define[1]\url{{\tt\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]}} \starttext \url{http://contextgarden.net} \stoptext It compiles fine with beta from 2015.03.25 22:13. I’m afraid this might be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Writing between lines
by Otared Kavian 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hi all, How can one write in small print something between lines, in an efficient manner? I have come up with the following: \define[1]\betweenlines{${\rlap{{\mbox{\darkgray{\infofont #1}}}\atop{}}\atop{}}$} in order to make visible certain informations just above a cited reference. But the use of \atop which a macro for mathmode, together with \mbos, doesn’t seem a wise idea. has any one a better idea how to obtain the same result? A minimal example of its use follows Best regards: OK %%%% begin write-between-lines.tex \define[1]\betweenlines{${\rlap{{\mbox{\darkgray{\infofont #1}}}\atop{}}\atop{}}$} \def\placeformularef[#1]{\doifmode{proofreading}% {\inrightmargin{\infofont #1}}% \placeformula[#1]} \definereferenceformat[Eqref][left=(,right=)] \def\eqref[#1]{\betweenlines{#1}\Eqref[#1]} \setupformulas[location=right] \enablemode[proofreading] \starttext We have \placeformularef[eq:Square] \startformula a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a + b)^2, \stopformula for $a,b\in {\Bbb C}$. Also, \placeformularef[eq:Identity] \startformula \alpha^2 -2\alpha\beta + \beta^2 \NC = (\alpha - \beta)^2. \stopformula Note that \eqref[eq:Square] is true whenever we have $ab = ba$ for $b,a \in {\Bbb A}$. This is not the case when ${\Bbb A}$ is the ring of the matrices. It is clear that \eqref[eq:Identity] is a consequence of \eqref[eq:Square]. \stoptext %%%% begin write-between-lines.tex

Evaluating a Lua expression at the end
by Kumar Appaiah 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hi. I am trying to set up a system where I can use Lua to find a total that I can display at the end. For example, if I set a question paper, after each question, I do a \directlua{total = total + 4}, assuming this question has 4 points. At the top of my document, I now want to say "Total points:" and display the value of total. Now, naturally, using \directlua gives me 0, since total is 0 at the beginning. But \latelua didn't seem to be what I am looking for. Could someone please guide me in the right direction? Thanks. Kumar

test for new page
by Alan BRASLAU 12 Apr '15

12 Apr '15

Can someone indicate how one can easily test for a new page in a list environment (or, indeed, anywhere else)? In one implementation of a listing, repeated sequential items or elements of items are suppressed, but I would like to repeat them when they occur at the top of a new page. I imagine that there could be an easy test for a new page or the text line number. Thanks, in advance, for any hints. Alan
