Hans will be offline for a few weeks
by Taco Hoekwater 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Hi all, Just to let you know Hans will not be responding to any email messages for the next two weeks as unexpectedly, over the weekend he had immediate laser surgery to re-attach one of his retinas. Everything will be fine, so do not panic! But, on doctors’ orders, he is not allowed to read for the next two weeks, to give the eye the best chance to heal properly. So: no email, no programming, and no leisure reading. Needless to say Hans is not very thrilled at the prospect but on the plus side, at the end of month the Pragma offices will be cleaner and more organised than ever ! Best wishes, Taco

Bug with vimtyping: no line numbers
by Günter Kolousek 11 Aug '14

11 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).

is there a better way to convert this
by Pablo Rodriguez 10 Aug '14

10 Aug '14

Dear list, pandoc writes autolinks (links with the same text as target, such as <http://www.example.com>), thanks to the a kind suggestion of Wolfgang, as: \useURL[url27][http://example.com/]\from[url27] But with autolinks for email addresses (such as <nobody(a)nowhere.net>), conversion is suboptimal: \useURL[url29][mailto:nobody@nowhere.net][][nobody@nowhere.net] \from[url29] Is there a way to get the hyphenated url, the mailto: interaction and the formatting with \setupurl? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Multi-par footnotes. Indent second and later paragraphs?
by Gerben Wierda 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

I have a few footnotes that are longer. New paragraphs are not indented, I’d like to have everything except the first paragraph indented. By hand is OK, but the only thing I can think of is a couple of ~ at the start of each new par, not very nice and it doesn’t by definition align perfectly. Is there a nicer way? G

Want footnotes in firstcolumn only
by David Baßler 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Hi, I have a 2-columns-layout, implemented via columnset. I want the footnotes on each page to appear only in the first on odd and only on the right column on even pages. I tried "setupfootnotes[location=firstcolumn]" for a start, but it did not influence the layout (the footnotes are still in both columns). Is this the wrong way to do it, or is it not possible to have footnotes in only one column in columnsets?vid Thank you very much in advance, David

by Thangalin 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Hi, I would like to cite bibliography references using a superscript font. Here is the setup: \setupbibtex[database=sources] \setuppublications[ refcommand=num, numbering=yes ] \setupcite[num][ left=\empty, right=\empty, ] \starttext Citation.\cite[kattamuri@debate] \stoptext Here is an example entry in sources.bib: @inproceedings{kattamuri@debate, author = {Kattamuri, Kishore and Silaghi, Marius and Kaner, Cem and Stansifer, Ryan and Zanker, Markus}, title = {Supporting Debates over Citizen Initiatives}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2005 National Conference on Digital Government Research}, series = {dg.o '05}, year = {2005}, location = {Atlanta, Georgia}, pages = {279--280}, numpages = {2}, url = {https://repository.lib.fit.edu/bitstream/handle/11141/150/cs-2005-03.pdf}, acmid = {1065321}, publisher = {Digital Government Society of North America}, } I tried the following: \setupcite[num][ left=\empty, right=\empty, textstyle=\textsuperscript, ] It did not work... Any ideas? Thank you!

Custom breakpoints for \hyphenatedurl
by Joshua Krämer 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Dear list, I could successfully configure ConTeXt to introduce linebreaks /after/ some characters in URLs with \sethyphenatedurlafter {...} I would also like to disable linebreaks /before/ some of the predefined characters. For example, no linebreak should occur before : Is this possible? \sethyphenatedurlbefore {} (with empty braces) does not work. Unfortunately, usage of \sethyphenatedurlafter also introduced the following problem: the \hyphenatedurlseparator symbol now appears after the linebreak, i.e. at the beginning of the new line. Can I do something about it? Thanks and kind regards, Joshua

Accessing the URL of \useURL (for putting URLs into footnotes)
by Matthias Weber 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

Dear All, for the printable version of a document I’d like to put the actual URLs into footnotes. In other words, I’d like to replace \setupinteraction [state=start] \starttext \useURL [garden] [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page] [] [ConTeXtgarden] \starttext Look at the \from[garden]! \stoptext with \setupinteraction [state=start] \starttext \useURL [garden] [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page] [] [ConTeXtgarden\footnote{\hyphenatedurl{http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Pa…] \starttext Look at the \from[garden]! \stoptext To save me from retyping all the URLs, there must be some way to access the URL of garden instead of the display text so that I could do something like \def\myfrom[#1]{ \startmode[screen] \from[1] \stopmode \startmode[print] \from[1] \footnote{\hyphenatedurl{get the URL text from \useURL instead of the display text}} \stopmode } Thanks, Matthias

\definefallbackfamily and small h
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Dear list, I have a problem with the small letter h when I do a \definefallbackfamily. Example: \definefontfamily [myface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefallbackfamily[myface][math][TeX Gyre Termes][preset=math:lowercaseitalic] \definefontfamily[myface][math][TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupbodyfont[myface] \starttext $h$ \stoptext I get the h set in Pagella. With any other letter I get Termes... In my real example I do not want to replace with Termes but with a font (FrutigerLTstd) that does not have a math version. It seems (when I look with gnome character map), that the letter h is missing (or, probably, to be found elsewhere) from all fonts. Is there any chance I can fix this substitution manually for the letter h? /Mikael
