contextref.pdf unsearchable?
by Gerben Wierda 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

I have two manuals, cont-enp.pdf (2001) and contextref.pdf (2013). I often have to go to cont-enp.pdf because contextref.pdf is unsearchable. Is it indeed unsearchable? Or is something wrong at my end? G

In a case where two commands insert a space at the same position like here the larger value is used which comes in the second chapter from the \section command. > > Wolfgang Thank you, Wolfgang. I was not forgetting what you describe. Worse, I had not taken any notice, just accepting the default distances as they appeared, which generally seemed OK. I hope to be a bit ConTeXt-wiser now.

It may be OK by the following: After checking files /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/fancybreak/fancybreak-doc.pdf /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/fancybreak/README /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/interface/third/t-fancybreak.xml /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/third/fancybreak/t-fancybreak.mkii /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/third/fancybreak/t-fancybreak.mkvi (1) sudo mktexlsr (2) context --generate Best, Akira

Center alignment within TABLE
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Dear syndicate, I'm stumped trying to get the first two cells of the following TABLE aligned to the center: ====================== \define[3]\Glyphbox {\framed[frame=on,align=middle]\bgroup {#1\\ #2\\ #3% \egroup}} \starttext \setupTABLE[frame=on,align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{I}{a}{1} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{I}{a}{1} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{III}{aaa}{111} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{III}{aaa}{111} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext ====================== See also attached pdf. No what I've tried (\setupTABLE) the first two cells remain flushleft. Even with \setupTABLE[frame=on,align=flushright] the two cells in the top row remain flushleft. Thanks in advance for any advice and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Intsalling modules - once more
by Werner Hintze 18 Aug '14

If nobody can tell me how to install the module ”fancybreak« on Mac OS (may be the question is too stupid), can anybody tell me where I find the needed information? The wiki doesn't help me because I don’t know $TEXMF. Thanks! WH P.S.: I had no problem to install the module in the stand alone version. The problem is about the »normal« distribution (TexLive).

TEX and XML typing with trailing interline space
by Christoph Reller 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, How do I get rid of the additional line inserted at the end of a TEX or XML environment? Minimal working example: \starttext \setuptyping[TEX][before=,after=] % <- trailing interline space \hrule \startTEX \TeX \stopTEX \hrule \medskip \setuptyping[XML][before=,after=] % <- trailing interline space \hrule \startXML <tag></tag> \stopXML \hrule \medskip \setuptyping[before=,after=] % <- works as expected \hrule \starttyping \TeX \stoptyping \hrule \stoptext Thank you for any advice!

Selecting character by glyph index
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Dear consortium, Is there a command analogous to \char or \fontchar which allows me to select a glyph by its index in the font? In most font editors you can choose "Index Mode" which shows the "physical" ordering of the glyphs independent of encoding etc. I thought that \charNN (where 'NN' is a decimal integer) did this, but it does not seem to select the correct indexed glyph for a \definefont, making me wonder in MkIV has changed its behavior. For example, choosing \char35 gives me glyph index 223, not glyph 35. In any case, for the current (already tedious) project this is a feature that is sorely needed; if there is a way to hack a quick lua-based command to do it, I would appreciate any help I can get. Perhaps a future version of \fontchar can add this as an option... Thanks in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

The minimal example you gave works here as well, but it does not really concern the problem I had. When you add a section right at the beginning of the chapter, as is the case for nearly all of the chapters of my project, things become different. Here is your ME with sections added: =================================================== \starttext %\startfrontmatter %\input knuth %\stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setuphead [chapter] [ number=yes, alternative=middle, style=\tfa \bf, after={\blank[0.5cm]}, ] \chapter{One} \section{One a} \input knuth \setuphead [chapter] [ number=yes, alternative=middle, style=\tfa \bf, after={\blank[0.1cm]}, ] \chapter{Two} \section{Two a} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \stoptext =================================================== Despite different setups for the chapter head the distances: chapter head - section head - beginning of the text, are identical in both chapters (±1 pixel). But I have realized now, a bit late, that for real control over these distances one also needs to setup the section-head in a similar manner, additionally specifying the distance "before". The presence or absence of Frontmatter does not influence results. I think there must have been a setup command somewhere in my setups that I had forgotten about. Kind regards, Robert
