numberconversion bug?
by Alan Bowen 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

The following used to work but fails in the latest beta (standalone): \definehead[BookTitle][title] \setuphead[BookTitle][style=\tfc, color=darkred] \starttext \setupnotation[footnote][interaction=start,numberconversion=set 3] %\setupnotation[footnote][interaction=start,numberconversion=romannumerals] \startBookTitle[ title={\em Some title\note[trans]}] \stopBookTitle % \footnotetext[trans]{a footnote} \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numbers] \resetnumber[footnote] Loren ipsum\footnote{another footnote} \stoptext Now, whatever set I specify, the output is an arabic numeral. (numberconversion=romannumerals works.) Alan

[fontloader] crash in font-otf.lua / actions["reorganize glyph anchors"]
by Philipp Gesang 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Hi Hans, this bug was reported a while ago by user Thérèse on tex.stackexchange.com [1]. The font “Eadui.ttf” [2] causes the fontloader to access a nil value because the “Anchor-1” table is sparse (nil at index 3). Test file for Context: https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/tip/cnt-eadui.tex Patch attached, though I suspect it covers only the symptoms.

vertical alignment of table of contents in makeup
by Mark Szepieniec 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

There is a trick mentioned on the wiki for top-aligning the contents of a makeup page, namely adding "top=,", which cancels the default value of \vss, which is infinitely strechable space. However, that doesn't seem to work when the first element in the makeup page is \completecontent: \starttext % top= here doesn't seem to be working... \startmakeup[standard][top=,] \completecontent \section{testsection} \stopmakeup \stoptext Here, the table of contents and the section are both placed on the makeup page, but they are centered vertically. If the \completecontent line is commented out, the correct vertical alignment of the section header is obtained. Is there a way to get top-alignment when a makeup page starts with \completecontent? Is this a bug? Or should I even be using makeup pages in my table of contents? Mark

setting margins in makeup
by Mark Szepieniec 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

I'm having trouble resetting my margins in makeup pages. I want the makeup pages to have equal topspace, bottomspace, backspace and cutspace, regardless of the standard layout of the rest of the document. Following Wolfgang's recommendation ( http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/079409.html) I tried the following: \setuppapersize [A4][A4] % Standard page layout \setuplayout [width=middle, backspace=1.5in, cutspace=1.5in, height=middle, topspace=0.75in, bottomspace=0.75in] % Title page layout % \definemakeup defines a layout with the same name, which we alter. \definemakeup[titlepage] \setuplayout [titlepage][width=middle, backspace=20mm, height=middle, topspace=20mm] \starttext \startmakeup[titlepage][top=,] bla \stopmakeup But, on my system, this puts the "bla" too far from the top of the page, and it looks as though the topspace has not been set properly. (Backspace seems ok), Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to achieve this? Also, the manual says I can use the command \showframe to display frames to help in debugging, but that doesn't seem to do anything for me? Thanks in advance, Mark

expand date from CSV file
by Pablo Rodriguez 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \usemodule[scancsv] \unexpanded\def\lineaction{ \Name\ arrived on \Date\\ } \setheader \setsep{;} \setfiletoscan{mail.csv} \starttext \filelineaction \stoptext that reads data from mail.csv: Name;Date ME;11/10/14 You;05/02/14 He;15/02/2014 She;03/03/12 It;03/03/14 My question is simple (and not related to CSV data import): how can I define a command (ConTeXt or Lua) that changes date format from DD/MM/YY to DD/MM/YYYY when required? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Re: [NTG-context] PSTricks in Context
by Akira Kakuto 18 Dec '14

Hi Luigi, > The example works if one copies colo-rgb.mkii as colo-rgb.tex in the same > folder of the example ... It is OK by changing line 46 in m-pstricks.mkii: \loadpstrickscolors{colo-rgb}} to \loadpstrickscolors{colo-rgb.mkii}} as Herbert said. In the recent beta's, the change was already done. Best, Akira

\startitem [reference=xxx]
by Alan BRASLAU 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hello, An item in an itemized list can have a reference: \startitemize [n] \item[first] This is a first item; \item[second] This is a second item. \stopitemize \in{item}[first] appears before \in{item}[second]. How does this work with \startitem\stopitem? I tried, of course: \startitem[reference=first] This is a first item. \stopitem Thanks. Alan

problem with \processaction
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \def\SystemUser{whoami} \def\CheckUser{\processaction[\SystemUser][whoami=>whm]} \starttext \doifelse{\CheckUser}{whm}{This is the right user.} {This is the wrong user.} \doifelse{\SystemUser}{whoami}{This is the right user.} {This is the wrong user.} \SystemUser\ is \CheckUser \stoptext Why doesn’t the first \doifelse work? What am I missing there? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

command to get the text value?
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Dear list, sorry for writing again on the same topic. The issue is important and I don’t know how to solve it. I have a different sample: \def\firstcommand{AAA} \def\secondcommand{aaa} \starttext \doifelse{\word{\firstcommand}} {\secondcommand}{Equal}{Not equal}. \stoptext I understand that A and a are different characters. Is there no command to get the pure text from another command? Or how could I get equal values in the sample above? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

[fontloader] positioning of diacritics
by Philipp Gesang 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Good morning! This report by Github user SverreStausland has been lingering on the Luaotfload tracker for a while: There appears to be a difference between how certain faces of the Libertine family handle the placement of diacritics. With Version 5.1.2 of the family [0], the "RZI" version (fullname: “Linux Libertine O Semibold Italic”) shows a different behavior than its “RZ” companion (“Linux Libertine O Semibold”). Short demonstration in Context: \definefontfeature [ourfeats] [default] [mode=node] \starttext \start \definedfont [file:LinLibertine_RI.otf*ourfeats] V\char"0306 \stop \start \definedfont [file:LinLibertine_RZI.otf*ourfeats] V\char"0306 \stop \stoptext Note the misaligned combining breve above the latter. An equivalent test for Plain [1] shows that the correct position information is there somewhere in the font, since the Xetex engine typesets it correctly. Best regards, Philipp [0] MD5 hashes of the files: 4bfd3481c1486f5d1ea13304981df7a6 LinLibertine_RZI.otf 153765bd2b29d6026fb2fa0b198a4995 LinLibertine_RZ.otf [1] https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/tip/pln-diacritics-1.tex
