Different versions of Lua and error in the same versions of ConTeXt (Fedora vs Win7)
by Akira Kakuto 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

> The point is that Pablo Rodriguez use Fedora 20, which comes with Lua-5.2.2. I think TeX Live 2014 uses Lua-5.2.3 on all platforms. I don't know differences between 5.2.2 and 5.2.3. Current windows version of standalone ConTeXt also uses 5.2.3. Best, Akira

two questions on file handling
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Dear list, I have two questions on how to improve the way I use ConTeXt to handle files. Is there a way that I can specify the document from the command line in the line below? \insertpages[mydocument.pdf][width=0pt] Is there any way that context compiles using the a pipe? (Sorry if this is wrong, but this is totally new to me.) I would like to compile something like (well, using pandoc): cat a.tex | contextjit --purgeall Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

head stopper and hang
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplabeltext[subsection=Activity~] \setuphead[subsection][sectionsegments=subsection] \setuplist[subsection][width=fit, stopper={: }] \setuplabeltext[section=Area~] \setuphead[section][hang=broad, stopper={· }] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{5}{\section{Important issue \recurselevel} \dorecurse{5}{\subsection{Important warning \recurselevel}}} \stoptext I don’t know why stopper works in \setuplist, but it doesn’t in \setuphead. What am I missing here? Doesn’t hang in \setuphead do the same as width in \setuplist? Or which would be the option that achieves the same in \setuphead? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

removing layers in empty pages
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Dear list, I come with a different approach to the issue I had yesterday. I have a sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \definelayer[spider][state=start] \setlayer[spider]{\externalfigure[spider][scale=1500]} \definelayer[cow][x=.8\paperwidth, y=.85\paperheight, state=continue] \setlayer[cow]{\externalfigure[cow][scale=600]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={spider, cow}] \blank[force,10em]\dorecurse{8}{\input zapf\par}\page[right]} \stoptext I have an issue that I cannot solve: How can I remove layers from empty pages? I know there is a "state=stop", but I don’t know how to link this to empty pages. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Distance between the header and the title in ConTeXt's enumerations
by Joas Yannick 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Dear everyone, I have defined in ConTeXt an enumeration for definitions: \defineenumeration[definition][theorem][ text={Definition}, prefix=chapter, way=bychapter, right=., titleleft=(, titleright=.), distance=0.5em, headstyle=\ss, title=yes, titlestyle=\ss, alternative=serried, width=broad, indentnext=no] I would like to set the distance between the header, i.e. "Defintion [numberOfTheDefintion]", and the title thereof to 0.5em (just like I set with the distance key the distance between the title and the text of the definition). Thank you, Wondrous (username in tex.stackexchange)

Context to epub: itemize
by Axel Kielhorn 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hi, I'm trying to generate epub from ConTeXt and I couldn't get the itemize environment to work. I follow http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ePub and get the structure described but when I look into the xhtml, there is no itemize environment. (At least no with Safari, Firefox or Calibre.) When use vi I see something that looks like my items in a very complex form. I was expecting something like <ul> <li> </li> <li> </li> </ul> but i see <div class="itemgroup itemize level-1 symbol-1"> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>•</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 1</div> </div> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>•</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 2 <div class="itemgroup itemize level-2 symbol-2"> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>−</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 2.1</div></div> <div class="item"> <div class="itemtag"><m:math display="inline" xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mo>−</m:mo></m:math></div> <div class="itemcontent">Listenpunkt 2.2</div></div></div></div> </div> Shouldn't the itemtag definition come from the default.css instead of using MathML? itemgroup[symbol="1"], div.itemgroup.symbol-1 { list-style-type : disc ; } I’m using: mtx-context | current version: 2015.02.03 23:55 and context --script epub --make epub_mwe to create the epub.

Blank space between \subsection & columns (related to: XML processing & columns & (almost) empty pages)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hello, I found a "more minimal" example which produces unwanted blank space between \subsection and columns: ---- % nofruns=1 \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \subsection{T} \startcolumns[n=4,balance=yes] \input knuth \stopcolumns } \stoptext ---- The blank space appears on pg. 2 (subsection #4) - the head is not bound to the following columns. Why is there the blank space? How to avoid it? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

setupcite in mkiv to cite two references
by Yu Zhang 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi list, I need some help about formatting citations in mkiv. What I want is something like [3, 4] if I put \cite[ref3,ref4]. However, what I actually get is [3 and 4]. This only happens if I put two references in \cite[]. So, does anyone know how to replace 'and' with ', ' in my situation. best, Yu
