Date format problems
by A.J. Bonnema 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi all, I started using ConteXt a while ago, on the side line I still use LaTeX (old habits die hard). When converting my CV to ConTeXt I have a weird date problem. I hope one of you can point me in the right direction. I copy the start of the document from vi (line 4 is the relevant line): \setuppapersize[A4] 2 \setuplayout[style=\ss] 3 %\setupfooter[style=] 4 \setuplanguage[nl][date={dd, -, mm, -, year}] 5 6 \setupheadertexts[CV Guus Bonnema] 7 \setupfootertexts[\currentdate][pagenumber] 8 9 %\definebodyfont[10pt][ss][tfe=lbr at 105pt] 10 Line 4 is the relevant line here. What I expect to see in the footer is a date like either 29-07-2014 or 29 july 2014, but what I get is July 29, 2014. Also the log seems to indicate language en. What can I do to get the dutch date format? Regards, Guus Bonnema.

How to center floats (?) in standardmakeup?
by Thomas Kreuzer 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hello everyone, I am trying to create a title page with \startstandardmakeup[align=middle] This works alright for text, but when I am trying to insert a "\framed", a table or an "\externalfigure", those items (floats?) don't get centered. How can I make them centered as well? Thank you very much for your time and kind regards, Thomas

How to make floats extend into the outer margin
by Joshua Krämer 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Dear list, I have some big-width floats, and want them to span the regular text width plus the outer margin. I can position them manually with \kern. Is there a way to make them automatically extend into the outer margin? I have tried different options for location=... without success. Thanks and kind regards, Joshua Krämer Example with manual positioning: \setuplayout [backspace=3cm, width=13.5cm, topspace=2cm, height=24.7cm, margin=1.5cm, margindistance=0cm, header=0cm, footer=0cm, footerdistance=0cm] \newdimen\Bigtextwidth \Bigtextwidth=15cm \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \showframe \starttext \startplacefigure \leavevmode\kern-1.5cm\framed [width=\Bigtextwidth, framecolor=red] % {Left margin} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \leavevmode\kern0cm\framed [width=\Bigtextwidth, framecolor=red] % {Right margin} \stopplacefigure \stoptext

Question to \startlines
by Tomas Hala 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hello, I found out that the \startlines does not work if it is defined in a body of some other macro. Is it expected behaviour, or not? Thanks in advance, Tomáš Hála --- Minimal example: (CTX from TL2014) \starttext \def\xxxx{\startlines text text \stoplines} \xxxx \stoptext %% Gives "text text" instead of text text

\startitemize "Step 1:" "Step 2:"
by Gerben Wierda 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Here is something simple that cannot be found in the manual (at least not by me). How do I create a list that is numbered like this: Step 1: foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo Step 2: bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar etc. (Indenting each item after the first line of course) G

filter module: before print, it puts new line
by Xan 28 Jul '14

Hi, I run this code: \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter [python] [filtercommand={python \externalfilterinputfile\space > \externalfilteroutputfile},cache=force] \starttext Resol les equacions següents i comprova'n la solució \startitemize[a,columns] \item $3x + 2 = 35$ \item $11x – 18 = 4$ \item $56x + 33 = -23$ \item $5x + 25 = 125$ \stopitemize \starttextrule{Solucions} \startitemize[a,text] \item \startpython from sympy.solvers import solve from sympy import Symbol from sympy import Eq x = Symbol('x') for solucio in solve(Eq(3*x + 2, 35), x): print(solucio) \stoppython \stopitemize \stoptextrule \stoptext with the result of new line after "(a)." and "11" (the solution of the equation). I attach the pdf. How can avoid this behaviour? Thanks, Xan

Strange Behaviour of \mathop
by Tobias Columbus 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Dear list, I stumpled upon a very strange effect that \mathop has on the vertical positioning of characters. \mathop applied to a single character results in the character's baseline being lower than the baseline of all other characters. This does neither depend on the font (checked with Lucida OT, Pagella and LatinModern) nor on the specific character. A minimal example for LatinModern and Pagella is attached. With kind regards, Tobias

We > probably need to fix mtxrun and setuptex as well. The directory ~/context contains the directories `bin` and `tex` and the file first-setup.sh ~/context/bin contains the files `luatex`, `mtxrun`, `mtx-update.lua` and the link `texlua`, pointing to `luatex`. ~/context/tex contains five directories: `texmf-cache`, `texmf-fonts`, `texmf-local`, `texmf-modules` and `texmf-project`, each of these directories is empty. So there is no ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-armhf/bin, no ~/context/tex/texmf-linux and no ~/context/tex/setuptex. Hope this information helps. Sytse

setuphead interlinespace
by Yuri Teixeira 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

Hello, From command/setuphead <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuphead> I inferred this should work to set linespace to 1.5 within the chapter/section but it doesn't. Should it? I read on \setupinterlinespace and it's resetting mechanic but thought the parameter in setuphead would work. Also, I checked and this parameter is not mentioned in the manual, so maybe it does not exist. \setuphead[chapter][interlinespace=big] \starttext \chapter{Some title} Lines with 1.5 space? \input tufte \startchapter[title={Some title}] Try again? \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Some title}] \setupinterlinespace[big] Now it works. \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Some title}] But it "leaks" out of the previous start-stopchapter. \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext Thank you for your attention, YT
