Figure-libray/resource library
by Willi Egger 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi all! I am working on an older project… Herein a resource-library is used. Now I have the problem, that Context does not find page 103 (resulting in a fatal error: LuaTeX error: PDF inclusion: required page <103> does not exist ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!). When I put the the figure contained on page 103 as an \externalfigure[mylibrary][page=103], the figure is displayed. — Now I tried to remake the resource library with changing the format from MKII to MKIV. However there seems to be a problem, since I get only two pages of output. Even with the enclosed minimal I get only two empty pages… What to do? Thank you for advice! Kind regards Willi

SyncTeX and mkiv
by Otared Kavian 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi all, Using TeXShop on a Mac (with Mac OS X 10.2) I noticed that some of my documents typeset with mkiv do not respond correctly regarding SyncTeX: when I do « Command-Click » on a specific part of the resulting PDF there is no reaction at all, that is I do not get to the corresponding part of the source TeX file. Nevertheless when I click in the source TeX file, SyncTeX shows the corresponding highlighted part of the PDF file. So my question is the following: is there some change in mkiv, or in the way TeXShop has to be tuned? The command I use to typeset is: context --synctex=1 --autogenerate "$1" —purgeall and the version of ConTeXt I have is ConTeXt ver: 2015.03.30 23:33 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.3.31 Thanks in advance for any help. OK

alphabetically ordered notes
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Apr '15

Hans, as you told me to remind you latter, here you have the proposal for alphabetically ordered footnotes: \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en,agr}] \setuppapersize[A7] \setupbodyfont[dejavu, 12pt] \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][n=2,rule=off, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[dict][width=broad, number=no] \starttext Πρῶτον δεῖ θέσθαι τί ὄνομα\dict{ὄνομα, -ατος, τό: noun} καὶ τί ῥῆμα\dict{ῥῆμα, -ατος, τό: verb}, ἔπειτα τί ἐστιν ἀπόφασις\dict{ἀπόφασις, -εως, ἡ: negation} καὶ κατάφασις\dict{κατάφασις, εως, ἡ: affirmation} καὶ ἀπόφανσις\dict{ἀπόφανσις, -εως, ἡ: statement} καὶ λόγος. Ἔστι μὲν οὖν τὰ ἐν τῇ φωνῇ\dict{φωνή, -ῆς, ἡ: voice} τῶν ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ\dict{ψυχῇ, -ῆς, ἡ: soul} παθημάτων\dict{πάθημα, -ατος, τό: affections} σύμβολα\dict{σύμβολον, -ου, τό: symbol}, καὶ τὰ γραφόμενα\dict{γραφόμενον: written} τῶν ἐν τῇ φωνῇ. \page \title{Vocabulary} \placenotes[dict] \stoptext BTW, it would be extremely useful to be able to place this kind of notes on each page and also with a \placenotes command. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I am having difficulty getting Unicode characters to display correctly in PDF output using ConTeXT. Also, the PDF Bookmarks are not showing in this example. ConTeXt ver: 2014.12.11 12:02 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.12.15 int: english/english I am attaching a minimal example. Would you please give me some pointers and put a working multi-lingual example on the contextgarden.net website? Thanks much.

adjust text width mkiv
by John Culleton 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I am still matching my file with a previous InDesign layout. On one particular page I want to narrow the text width a bit to cause the bottom line to fill the full text width. I have tried adjusting \hsize within braces, and changing setlayout. I am considering putting all the text in a framedtext but with the frame suppressed.

Help wanted: cross referencing
by Otared Kavian 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Maybe a third post will get attention from a guru… 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

formal multipage table
by Csikos Bela 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hello: I would like to place a landscape formal multi-page table in a document. I try to attach a pdf showing what I would like to achieve. The example file was made in latex using array, booktabs, lscape, and longtable packages. I read the contextgarden wiki pages on different table packages but according to that information none of the available table modules can be used to make such table. Is the information up-to-date and accurate? Furthermore, how can I insert the table in landscape mode on a portrait page (page numbers should be portrait). I need different headers for the first and the following pages, different footers for the last and the previous pages, rules width different depths for start/end and middle rules. I experimented with both Tables and TABLE modules but before I go into it more I would like to know if it is feasible at all what I want. This is one of the trials I made: \defineipsum[tf][alternative=lines,n=2] \starttext \setupTABLE[r][first][style=\tf] \bTABLE[split=repeat,option=stretch,frame=off,bottomframe=on] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH[nc=2] This is the first page header \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH Column 1 \eTH \bTH Column 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEnext \bTR \bTH[nc=2] This is the page header (not on first page) \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH Column 1 \eTH \bTH Column 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEnext \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{25}{ \bTR \bTC \ipsum[tf] \eTC \bTC aaaa \eTC \eTR} \eTABLEbody \bTABLEfoot[bottomframe=off] \bTR \bTC[nc=2] This is the footer \eTC \eTR \eTABLEfoot \eTABLE \stoptext There is no separate footer, I could not get rid of the rule below the footer, and I don't understand why the firs header is not in normal typeface instead of bold. Thanks in advance, bcsikos

text alignment in table
by John Culleton 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Given this table: \starttabulate[|l|l] \NC 8:00\emdash noon \NC Ordering/opening/training\NR \NC \NC Food~preparation\NC\NR \NC Noon\emdash 2:00 PM \NC Luncheon~sales\NR \NC 2:00 PM\emdash 7:00 PM \NC General administration/baking \NR \NC \NC Supplier meeting (this is you) \NC\NR \stoptabulate ---------------------------- the Word "Food" is left justified in the column (good) and the word "preparation" is right justified (bad). The same problem occurs in the string "Luncheon sales." The glyph "~" doesn't help. I also tried the table variation in chapter twenty-two of "The TeXbook". That doesn't work in MKIV. My last resort is to introduce a one page pdf from the InDesign-created pdf. But the must be a Context solution. -- 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/!

itemize[n] and dejavu fonts

The list spacing parameters (fit) is not right for numbered itemizations when using the dejavu fonts. MWE: \setupbodyfont [dejavu,10pt] \starttext \startitemize [n] \dorecurse{10}{\startitem X\stopitem} \stoptext (switching to 100 items is even worse!) Alan
