More levels of subsubsection?
by Gerben Wierda 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

I am reproducing another document in an appendix. This document has a numbered structure and an appendix. A. My Appendix My appendix text introduction 1. Foo foo text 1.1 Foo foo text 2. Foo Appendix 1. FooBar FooBar text 1.1 FooBar FooBar text 1.1.1 FooBar FooBar text When I use \chapter for My and \subsection and \subsubsection for Foo, how do I solve the FooBar appendix? I have now \chapter My Appendix My appendix text introduction \subsection Foo foo text \subsubsection Foo foo text \subsection Foo Appendix But then, how do I solve: 1. FooBar FooBar text 1.1 FooBar FooBar text 1.1.1 FooBar FooBar text And to matters more complixated, Id like to reproduce the original's indentation, that is 1.1 is a bit more indented than 1 and 1.1.1 is a bit more than 1.1.

Using TABLE in a definition etc.
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Dear gang, I'm trying to setup a definition that uses a natural table and could use some guru help. Here is what I have so far: =============== \def\Glyphbox{% \setupframed[frame=off,align=middle,offfset=none] \framed{\cbox{ \bTABLE[align=middle] \bTR \bTD \gulistan#1 \fontchar{#2} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD #3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE }} } ============== Some issues: 1. '#' is probably active and being used in the internals, so of course I can't directly use it as an argument parameter. How do I work around it? 2. The '#1' at the end of '\gulistan' is meant to complete the name of a defined font, then that same parameter is used as a name in the next row. Am I doing this correctly? I.e., can I use an argument parameter to finish off a command like this? [Yes, my low level TeX is really quite rusty]. 3. Once this table is defined correctly it will be used in a larger table, e.g. ========== \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \bTD \Glyphbox{}{}{} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE ========== with arguments appropriately filled. Thanks in advance for any and all advice, and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Re: [NTG-context] Distances between chapter and section titles and text
by Robert Blackstone 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

On 13 Aug 2014, at 09:07 Robert Blackstone <blackstone.robert(a)gmail.com> wrote > Is it possible, in mkiv, to fine-tune the distance between a chapter head and a section head, between the end of a section and the following section head, and between a section head and the beginning of the text? A few days ago I posted this question. There were no reactions, but it is not an urgent matter for me anymore since I found an effective work-around. (Although I still wonder whether or not this possibility exists in mkiv,) I admit having been a bit panicky because a tiny difference in layout between my testversions and the final product, with exactly the same setups, led to a result that more or less forced me to reposition and/or redimension most of my 520 carefully positioned floats, a few days before the deadline. Anyway, sorry for the noise. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Installing modules
by Werner Hintze 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

I would like to use the module fancy break. I downloaded the module and have now a directory »t-facybreak-2013« which contains the subdirectories »doc« and »tex«. If I understand the website text well, I must go to the directory which is in the variable $TEXMF. But it seems, there is no such variable. »ECHO $TEXMF« brings an empty line. I found a directory /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context where I put the directory »third« from the module directory. Then I made context --generate. The effect is zero: I get the message »Module not found«. Can anybody tell me how to install this module? Thanks WH

mathdesign/charter fonts in ConTeXt
by Török Edwin 16 Aug '14

16 Aug '14

Hi, I am having some trouble getting the mathdesign charter font to work. Minimal example x.tex: \loadtypescriptfile[mathdesign] \setupbodyfont[charter] \starttext Foo \stoptext I tried the context that comes with Debian unstable, but that one segfaulted[1]. So I tried the standalone version, but that one can't find the math fonts: $ context x.tex mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="x" --lua="/home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./x.tex" --c:input="./x.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=8 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) \write18 enabled. open source > 1 > 1 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2014.07.30 10:31 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.8.15 int: english/english system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > 2 > 2 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv close source > 2 > 2 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > files > jobname 'x', input './x', result 'x' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > 2 > 3 > /home/edwin/typography/poster/test/x.tex open source > 3 > 4 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-mathdesign.mkiv close source > 3 > 4 > /home/edwin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-mathdesign.mkiv fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchr7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 2 with name 'mdbchr7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchri7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 3 with name 'mdbchri7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 4 with name 'mdbchri7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchb7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 5 with name 'mdbchb7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchbi7m' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 6 with name 'mdbchbi7m' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchr7y' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 7 with name 'mdbchr7y' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchr7v' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 8 with name 'mdbchr7v' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchrma' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 9 with name 'mdbchrma' at 7pt is skipped, not found fonts > defining > font with asked name 'mdbchrmb' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > virtual math > loading font 'mdbchrm' subfont 10 with name 'mdbchrmb' at 7pt is skipped, not found lua error > error on line 2 in file /home/edwin/typography/poster/test/x.tex: ...n/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/l-table.lua:323: table index is nil stack traceback: ...n/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/l-table.lua:323: in function 'fastcopy' .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:551: in function 'addmissing' .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:1059: in function <.../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/math-vfu.lua:662> (...tail calls...) .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-def.lua:415: in function 'read' .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-ctx.lua:1109: in function 'definefont_two' [\directlua]:1: in main chunk 1 \loadtypescriptfile[mathdesign] 2 >> \setupbodyfont[charter] 3 \starttext 4 Foo 5 \stoptext 6 ?

\resetsetups
by Rik Kabel 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Dear list, In a number of notes (recent and in the list archive) I have seen \resetsetups, used (always) as in a block of code like this from Gerben Wierde: \startsetups chapter:before \page[left] \noheaderandfooterlines \startalignment[left,nothyphenated] \startnarrower[4*left] \em \getbuffer[chapter:quote] \stopnarrower \stopalignment \resetsetups[quote:text] \page[right] \noheaderandfooterlines \blank[force,2*big] \stopsetups What is the purpose of \resetsetups in this code? I see no different result without it, and all I can determine from list and document searches is that this is a vestigal command from x-fo processing. -- Rik

ANNOUNCEMENT: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

[This announcement is dedicated to the 110% recovery and return of our visionary and fearless leader Hans Hagen: Three cheers to you, Hans!!!] Dear gang, It's my pleasure to announce the release of Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed, a monospaced font that extends TeX-Gyre Latin Modern Mono 10 Regular. It has been uploaded to CTAN, although I do not know how long it will take for the CTAN people to approve and publish it. Eventually it will make it's way into the ConTeXt minimals as well. Until then, you may use this private link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pulgaxshzr5bcmy/almfixed.zip README.txt is reproduced below. Future plans include both bold and proportional versions. Enjoy and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ==========README.txt========== Typeface Family: Arabic-Latin Modern Font: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed Style: Regular Version: 0.92 Author: Idris Samawi Hamid Date: August 5, 2014 License: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed is licensed under the GUST Font License with one important adjustment: It is requested, as well as legally *required*, that derived works be distributed only after changing the names of the fonts comprising this work. http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/licenses/GUST-FONT-LICENSE.txt/vi… Contains: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/doc/almfixed-dtk.pdf http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps; http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/tt; Some notes, in no particular order: 1. For more extensive documentation, examples, and background; see almfixed-dtk.pdf. 2. The final version number (per any future fixes, maintenance etc.) is intended to be Version 1.10. 3. Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed is an extension of TeX-Gyre Latin Modern Mono 10 Regular. Every glyph and opentype feature of the Latin Modern Mono has been retained, with minor improvements. On the other hand, we have changed the vertical metrics of the font. Although the Arabic script is designed to use the same x-size as Latin Modern Mono, the former script needs greater ascender and descender space. And there are cases (such as certain kinds of academic assignment and definitely mixed Latin and Arabic text) where Latin can use the extra vertical space as well. Otherwise, only the vertical metrics prevents this from being a drop-in replacement for Latin Modern Mono . Of course one can always set the vertical metrics in TeX to match LM Mono. 4. Every Arabic glyph in each Unicode-code block is supported (up to Unicode 7.0): Arabic, Arabic Supplement, Arabic Extended, Arabic Presentation-Forms A, and Arabic Presentation-Forms B. 5. This is a totally original design, using the Knuthian letters as inspiration. Indeed, virtually all Arabic characters were developed on the foundation of a study of the Latin Modern Mono letters 'l', 'r', and 'c'. In other words, this is a genuine extension of the original Knuthian design to an authentic and culturally authentic Arabic typing font. 6. There are two versions of the font: ps and tt. The Type~1 version is for print applications (and usually the default for TeX). The TrueType version is for on-screen applications such as text editors. Hinting in the tt version is much better for on-screen, at least on Microsoft Windows. 7. The most unique feature of Arabic-Latin Modern is in its treatment of vowels and diacritics. Each vowel and diacritic (ALM Fixed contains a total of 68 such glyphs) can now be edited horizontally within any text editor or processor. I believe this is the very first opentype Arabic font ever to have this capability. Editing complex Arabic texts will now be much easier to input and to proofread. 8. At least 12 additional format characters are included; see almfixed-dtk.pdf for details. Also designed a glyph representation for U+00A0 (no-break space), as well as U+25CC (dotted circle). 9. Arabic-Latin Modern Mono will be a boon to scholars, academics, coder editors, and anyone who wants to manage the entry of the wide array of Unicode Arabic text for editing, verbatim, or other purposes. ==============================

Bug with vimtyping: no line numbers
by Günter Kolousek 14 Aug '14

I think there is a bug in the (latest) beta that was not there earlier this year. In particular, it worked (and still works) in the version current version: 2014.03.19 23:11 but it show *no* line numbers at all in the (latest) beta: current version: 2014.07.30 10:31 A minimal example follows: \usemodule[vim] \setupvimtyping[% numbering=yes,% numberdistance=2em] \definevimtyping[cpp][syntax=cpp] \starttext \startcpp #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl; } \stopcpp \stoptext Sadly, I'm not a ConTeXt nor a lua expert so maybe anybody can help? Regards, Günter p.s.: BTW, I still could not resolve the bug with integrating tikz but I verified that it works with the stated version above (2014.03.19 23:11) on my system (nothing else changed).

processallactionsinset and default
by Christoph Reller 14 Aug '14

Hi! The "default" value works well for processaction but apparently does not for processallactionsinset. What am I missing? Example: \def\A{A} \def\XX{} \def\Un{Un} \processaction[\A][A=>Yeah!,default=>Def.,unknown=>Huh?]% \processaction[\XX][A=>Yeah!,default=>Def.,unknown=>Huh?]% \processaction[\Un][A=>Yeah!,default=>Def.,unknown=>Huh?] \processallactionsinset[\A,\XX,\Un][A=>Yeah!,default=>Def.,unknown=>Huh?] Output: Yeah!Def.Huh? Yeah!Huh?Huh? Thanks for any help, Christoph
