project structure
by Hans Hagen 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

Hi, There is a new experimental feature (one of the side effects of discussions with Alan about bibliographies and using distributed files in a project structure). Say that you have this: test1.tex : uses \component one/test2 one/test2.tex : uses \component two/test3 etc. There can be resources under one/two that test3 needs and one way out is to add this path to the used paths. Doing that automatically can result in side effects when multiple resources with the same name are used. However, we now have a concept of the local job path, so when test2 is read the jobfile: prefix will use path one, and when reading test3, that prefix will trigger one/two usage. For this to work, one has to say: \usepath[jobfile:] \setupexternalfigures[directory=jobfile:] To what extent this all works out well is to be tested. Hans ps. file loading related code is somewhat complex because we also need to support tds/kpse like searching; normally such more direct lookups kick in early (there are more prefixes and urls are also kind of special) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

issue with doublesided
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

Dear list, using the doublesided alternative such as in: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{15}{\input zapf\par} \stoptext I always get a final even page, either empty or not. I don’t have access to a printer, so I have to rely on copy-shops. And sometimes I forgot that the printing should leave the final blank page. Is there any way to have doublesided pages and avoid the final blank page? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

placeformula and startmathcases give no numbered formula
by Pol Stra 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

Hello, I know there is troubles with formula numbering (according to the wiki) but this one is not in the list: When I use smartmathcase in a placeformula context, the formula is not numbered and reference to the formula in the text doesn't work. Sample: \starttext This gives the numbered \in{formula}[myFormula]. \placeformula[myFormula]{ \startformula f(x) = a x + b \stopformula } … but this gives the unnumbered \in{formula}[myBraceFormula]. \placeformula[myBraceFormula]{ \startformula f(x) = \startmathcases \NC x, \NC if $0 \le x \le \frac12$ \NR \NC 1-x ,\NC if $\frac12 \le x \le 1$ \NR \stopmathcases \stopformula } \stoptext This is just for info, I changed my text so I don't need to refer to my formula. Best regards,

\textreference
by Herbert Voss 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

I thought that \textreference will print its text (Foo) in difference to \reference. With current minimal I can see no difference between both. \starttext \textreference[foo]{Foo} \reference[bar]{Bar} \about[foo] and \about[bar] \atpage[bar] \stoptext Herbert

Do I get the up-to-date setups of commands when running for example: \starttext \usemodule[set-11] \loadsetups \setup{setupfillinrules} \stoptext Herbert

Three questions about descriptions
by Matthias Weber 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

Dear All, I’d like to use a mechanism that allows me to create an itemized list with my own labels like one can with descriptions: \definedescription[outline][ headstyle=bold,style=normal,alternative=hanging,margin=1cm,distance=-.8cm] \starttext \outline[Welcome] Tea \outline[Introduction] Tufte or Knuth? \outline[Snack] Chocolate Cake \outline[Discussion] Knuth or Tufte? \outline[Open End] Bear and wine \stoptext However, instead of the above I would like to — have the result “packed”, i.e. without lines between the descriptions — have a stopper (“:”) after the label — have the text of the description begin after the stopper and not at a fixed indentation (distance=…) How do I do that? Thanks, Matthias

Thank you, Mojca for your reaction.

This is what I did: 1. I went to http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/armel-linux/ I clicked on `context` and then on the first `download` on the page (behind Links to HEAD). That brought me to a page saying: `link ../../texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/context`. I don't know whether I took the correct steps and how to proceed. 2. I went to http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/armhf-linux/ and performed the same steps as under 1. with the same result. 3. I went to http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite-bin/tex/armel-linux/ and clicked on `luatex` and on the following page again on `luatex`. I saved the file `luatex` (7.6 MB) but I don't know what to do with this file. I changed the permission so that it can be executed. But execution gave the error message: `Failed to execute child process "/home/sytse/context/luatex" (No such file or directory)`. Sytse

system "Linux armv7l" is not supported yet
by Sytse Knypstra 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Dear list members, Recently I purchased a Minix NEO X7 mediaplayer on which I managed to install Ubuntu (or rather: Xubuntu) 14.04. When I then tried to install the ConTeXt Standalone suite I immediately received the message: > Error: your system "Linux armv7l" is not supported yet. > Please report to the ConTeXt mailing-list (ntg-context(a)ntg.nl) The latter is what I am doing now. I was however able to Install ConTeXt from the Ubuntu repositories without a any problem. FYI: the Minix NEO X7 is based on a Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with Quad-Core Mali-400 GPU. With kind regards, Sytse Knypstra

pagenumber suppression howto?
by Meer, H. van der 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

My goal is pages without header info at the top and text plus a pagenumber on the bottom. This can be accomplished by: \setupheader[state=stop] \setupfooter[text][before=\hairline,style=small,location=left,strut=yes] \setupfootertexts[some text][pagenumber] I want the first page without that footer, to be done with: \noheaderandfooterlines But then comes the problem, because afterwards the default takes over and on the subsequent pages the pagenumber starts to appear in the header (the default setting apparently). Thus the \noheaderandfooterlines annuls the \setupheader[state=stop] I did not find out how to get rid of the default pagenumber. \setuppagenumber[state=stop] kills all pagenumbering, the programmed one in the leftbottom corner too. \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] kills all pagenumbers, included the one I want to appear. \setuppagenumbering[location=none] merely puts the pagenumber in the middle of the footer, obviously location=none has no meaning in ConTeXt. So, I am at the end of the possibilities I can think of. How to? Hans van der Meer
