larger dot using \dot?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Dear list, Is there an easy way to enlarge (and maybe slightly raise) the dot in, for example, $\dot V$? I tried using \overset with an external figure (a pdf of a filled circle), but the \hbox inside \overset meant that subscripts weren't tucked in. I also failed with metafun. -- -Sanjoy

blank overlay
by john Culleton 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

I need a graphic (a thumbnail) on the right hand pages but not on the left hand pages. Following the instructions in the Metafun Manual page 168 I have assigned different pairs to the two overlays: \startuseMPgraphic{right page} ... \stopuseMPgraphic and \startuseMPgraphic{left page} \stopuseMPgraphic In the left hand area I want to just create a minimal structure that replaces the right hand graphic overlay. What is the minimal code I can use between the start and stop statements? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Unable To Render Table With Over 3000 Rows
by Neal Lester 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

When I attempt to render a table with more than about 3000 rows I get the following error. Searching the archives I found one message suggesting that [save size] is hard coded and cannot be increased. The application is rendering business reports; they are relatively simple documents but we definitely need more than 3000 rows. Is there a way to configure context to render tables of this size?

Broken floats when using postponing.
by Alan BRASLAU 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hello, The following minimal example yields an error using the latest version from the garden: \starttext This is before \in{Figure}[fig:cow] \startpostponing [+0] \startplacefigure [reference=fig:cow] \externalfigure [cow] \stopplacefigure \stoppostponing and this is after. \stoptext tex error > error on line 3 in file virtual://page.nopage.1: ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup \strc_floats_stop_place ...unwantedspaces \egroup l.3 \stopplacefigure <empty file> The problem appears with the use of \startpostponing\stoppostponing (used to prevent a paragraph break in the middle of the sentence).

Thumbnail sample.
by john Culleton 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

The wiki shows two thumbnail samples. I like the first one. But I want to use MKIV. When I do the first sample blows up on the second chapter entry. Obviously there is some code in sample 1 that doesn't work under MKIV. By a process of elimination it centers on the thumbnail description proper. The file looks like this: --------------------------------------------------- \unprotected \def\rawsectionnumber#1{\countervalue{\??se#1}}%will be in kernel \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=thumbs] \defineoverlay [thumbs] [\setups{thumbs}] \def\NOfChapters{4} % i need to make this one available \startsetups thumbs \definemeasure[thumbheight][\dimexpr\paperheight/\NOfChapters\relax] \vbox to \paperheight \bgroup \vskip \rawsectionnumber{section-2} \measure{thumbheight} \vskip -1 \measure{thumbheight} \doifoddpageelse\hfill\donothing \framed [background=color, backgroundcolor=darkgray, frame=off, foregroundcolor=white, height=\measure{thumbheight},width=1cm] {\bfa \rawsectionnumber{section-2}} \doifoddpageelse\donothing\hfill \vss \egroup \stopsetups \starttext \chapter{first} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter{second} \dorecurse{10}{\input davis } \chapter{third} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } \chapter{fourth} \dorecurse{10}{\input bryson } \stoptext ----------------------------------------------- It works under MKII but not under MKIV. The error message occurs after the first chapter. But the chapters by themselves work OK.

Publications working in latest beta?
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 02 Jun '14

Dear List, After some time absent from Context-land, I thought I’d try the new non-BibTeX publications system. However I can’t get the following minimal example to work … \cite seems to expand to a () and there is no rendering of the publications list. Is the problem my example, or is it a bug?

sections
by Hans Hagen 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi Pablo, The section breaks are a bit of a headache. In the old mechanism (also mkii) we used penalties between different section levels (different values so that there is some hierarchy). In mkiv we have a weighted penalty/glue mechanism which has advantages but can also create side effects. The method of a few weeks ago coul deal with \section followed by 100 \subsections i.e. no text between this. In a strict mechanism you end up with one long page fur to all the penalties. So, there was some precaution for this. However that didn't work well with content following sections that prefers breaks (read: section head followed by e.g. itemize or tabulate). So, the newer mechanism tries to analyze the page stream which (currently) is somewhat tricky. That's why we need to iterate to an acceptable solution. Some of these mkiv mechanisms are already a bit old and could be done better using some newer luatex trickery (but i need tome to do that). It would be nice to have a large test case for this (sort of hard to make one as some trial and error is involved). As you already have some, best collect them for future reference. A new beta ...
