issues with list items
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Jun '14

Dear list, I have the following sample (compiled http://www.ousia.tk/list-items.pdf#page=1) \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{11}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \dorecurse{2}{\item This is an item.} \item This is an item\footnote{This is a footnote.}. \stopitemize \dorecurse{50}{These are other sentences. } \stoptext The footnote moves the whole list to the second page. If I remove the footnote and not the item, the whole list fits in the first page (http://www.ousia.tk/list-items.pdf#page=3) Sorry, but as far as I can understand, I’m afraid this is a bug. ConTeXt is handling list items themselves with widows and orphan rules. Not the lines they contain, but the items themselves. I understand that ConTeXt avoids widow and orphan lines within list items. But it makes no sense (at least, to me) to avoid widow and orphan list items. Could someone confirm the bug or explain me what I’m missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Character alignment in math mode
by Maggyero 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

> \let\Test\fontstylesuffix > a bit different output Thank you Hans. > The command \mathgreekitalic can only be used in math mode, when you want a italic alpha in text mode you need a font which has greek characters (e.g. Gentium). Okay Wolfgang, I thought Latin Modern also had greek characters, but apparently not. So in math mode which font is used by default if it is not Latin Modern greek?

Problem in natural tables with nc= and alignmentcharacter
by Rik Kabel 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

When a wide-ish column precedes a character-aligned column and a column span is in place, the table is set improperly. With the following example, the first two columns overlap. When the first column is moved to the right side of the table there is no issue. When the setup line is removed, there is no issue. When the long entry in column is shortened, there is no issue. When the column span is removed and another cell added to that row, there is no issue. The problem occurs when the span is applied to the first two or the last two columns in the example. TL14 handles this correctly. It fails with the 20140622 beta. \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[c][3][alignmentcharacter={.},aligncharacter=yes] \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTC AAA\eTC \bTC[nc=2] Location\eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC AAA Longish entry\eTC \bTC Figure\eTC \bTC 1.12\eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC AAA\eTC \bTC Table\eTC \bTC 10.8\eTC \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

Character alignment in math mode

> You can access the current font alternative with the \fontalternative command Thanks Wolfgang, that was exactly the command I was looking for! A last question: how can one get italic greek in TEXT MODE? The following code displays upright greek. \starttext \mathgreekitalic \alpha \stoptext

Character alignment in math mode
by Maggyero 24 Jun '14

How can one use character alignment in math mode? (I am using the last stable ConTeXt version — 2014.05.21.) \starttext \setupTABLE[column][first][alignmentcharacter={,}, aligncharacter=yes, align=middle] Figures in text mode get aligned: \startTABLE \NC 0,0 \NC \NR \NC 0,00 \NC \NR \NC 0,000 \NC \NR \stopTABLE But figures in math mode do not get aligned: \startTABLE \NC $0,0$ \NC \NR \NC $0,00$ \NC \NR \NC $0,000$ \NC \NR \stopTABLE \stoptext Best regards.

Text around figure
by MANUEL GONZALEZ SUAREZ 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi! I would like to know how I have to do to make a figure appear surrounded by text. In LaTeX this is accomplished with packages "picins" and "picinpar" but I think that in ConTeXt we only can use the \startfiguretext ... \stopfiguretext environment, although the effect is not the same. I send an example. Greetings and thank you very much.

Rotate multiline text
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi, I want to rotate a multiline text by 90 degrees, and I thought that \framed[orientation=90] should do that. But it does not work as expected. \defineframed[tightbox] [align=middle, width=fit, height=fit] \defineframed[rotatebox][tightbox][orientation=90] \starttext \startlines ABC \rotatebox{Random \crlf text } ABC ABC \rotate{\tightbox{Random \crlf text }} ABC \stoplines \stoptext I would like \rotatebox to behave the same as \rotate{\tightbox{..}}, but it does not. It appears that the width (or height?) or \rotatebox is set to broad. Am I missing a magic option or is this a bug? Aditya

I think both cases could be eliminated by establishing a new constraint to the 'key letter': (1) There must be 0 or at least 3 lines at the beginning of the page/column before the Key letter. (2) There must be at least 2 lines after the Key letter. Can this be somehow set in my source file? Thanks, Jan
