wrong line break in linenotes
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Dear list, sorry for writting again about this, but I have this sample: \showframe \definepapersize[HippPaper][width=6in, height=9in] \setuppapersize[HippPaper] \setupnote[linenote][rule=off, paragraph=yes, split=verystrict, scope=text, inbetween=\hskip1.5em, compress=yes] \setupnotation[linenote][numbercommand=, width=broad, alternative=serried, distance=1em] \starttext \startlinenumbering \showhyphens{testing paragraph} \dorecurse{50}{This\linenote{That} is\linenote{was} a\linenote{one} testing\linenote{nesting} sentence\linenote{table}. } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext It has wrong line breaks in linenotes with latest beta from 2014.11.17 14:32. It has also wrong linebreaks with stable version form 2014.01.03 00:40. But line breaks are right with version 2013.05.28 00:36 (which comes with TeX Live 2013). Line breaks are right, if I use footnotes instead of linenotes. Could anyone confirm this bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\preventmode does not work
by Rik 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

At least in MKIV. I haven't tried MKII. The following example should demonstrate this. With no mode specified on the command line, this should enable mode three and prevent and disable the other modes. It seems that \preventmode is not only ineffective in what it is described as doing, but also disables the following \disablemode! Or perhaps I am misusing this or misunderstand what it should do. (2014-08-29 20:57 standalone) \definemode[one][keep] \definemode[two][keep] \definemode[three][keep] \define\ModeOne{nil} \define\ModeTwo{nil} \define\ModeThree{nil} \startmode[one] \define\Mode{one} \define\ModeOne{set} \disablemode[two,three] \stopmode \startmode[two] \define\Mode{two} \define\ModeTwo{set} \disablemode[one,three] \preventmode[one] \stopmode \startnotmode[one,two] \define\Mode{three} \define\ModeThree{set} \enablemode[three] \preventmode[one,two] \disablemode[one,two] \stopnotmode \starttext Mode is \Mode. ModeOne is \ModeOne. ModeTwo is \ModeTwo. ModeThree is \ModeThree. Mode \doifmode{one}{one}\doifmode{two}{two}\doifmode{three}{three} is active. \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

Disable Ligatures in \type
by Gareth Jones 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hi all, When I use \type{} or \starttyping, I get unwanted ligatures in ConTeXt MkIV output (e.g. “–” for “--” and the ff/fl/fi ligatures). Please see the attached for a minimal example. Things work as expected with the default fonts, but break when \definefontfamily is used, even for Latin Modern Mono. Have I missed some documentation, or is there a bug? Thanks, Gareth

unwanted page at end
by Alan Bowen 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Using the latest beta, the workaround from the wiki, \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=no] \setupsectionblock[backpart][page=no] \starttext \startbodymatter% or backmatter etc. After this page, there is another empty one. \stopbodymatter \stoptext fails to prevent a blank page at the end. Is there a new way to do this now? I used to rely on \installpagebreakhandler{last}{}, but this does not seem to work either: it now permits a final page with a page number. Alan

Thank you Hans for the pointer to \goto. Unfortunately, javascript is not suitable for my purpose because the PDF will be converted to PDF/A2. I want to switch on and off OCGs but with Set-OCG-State actions. Even if this is beyond the capabilities of ConTeXt, it is nice to know that there is a javascript-based solution. Christoph

Adjusting topspace for letterhead in layer construct
by jdh 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30 I only want about 3 to 5 mm between the physical top of the page and the top of the letterhead (in this example, a company's and contact information). In \setlayer I set y=3mm The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a look at a print preview with a pdf viewer) of the generated pdf file puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm down from the top edge. This is too much. I tried adjusting topspace and topdistance to 0 didn't seem to have any affect.

For anybody interested in this: I have decided to resort to \hyphenatedurl{...}. This means that I have to escape \ as \\, # as \# and % as \letterpercent. Let me know if you have a better solution.

layer letterhead and top down distance
by jdh 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

I am using: mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30 I am typesetting a simple letterhead for correspondence. The design calls for only about a 3 to 5 mm distance between the physical top of the page and the top of the typeset letterhead. The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a look at a "print preview" with a pdf viewer) of the generated pdf file puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm (14mm over target size) down from the top edge. This is too much. I tried adjusting topspace and topdistance to 0 didn't seem to have any affect. In \setlayer I set y=3mm I tried adjusting topspace but it didn't do what I wanted and topdistance was already 0. I am using theh ConText standalone: mtx-context version: 2014.10.18 14:30 Here is a simple minimal file. % % Start of minimal example \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \setuplayout[ backspace=31mm, header=5mm, rightmargin=2cm, leftmargin=2cm ] \definelayer [Logo] % name of the layer we are defining [ repeat=yes, x=5mm,y=3mm, % Just what is this? hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm, % and what is this? ...offset from where? width=\paperwidth ] \setupTABLE[r][1,2,3][height=5mm,frame=off] % Put letterhead information in here. \starttext \setlayer[Logo][] { \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \sc{Company Name}\eTD \bTD \sc{info}(a)\sc{something}.\sc{where} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD 2059 Forest Ave, Ste X \eTD \bTD \sc{www}.\sc{domain}.\sc{topleveldomain} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD City, Province \eTD \bTD Tel (xxx) 999-1234 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \setupbackgrounds[page][background=Logo] ~ % Need `` to avoid a NULL content page so can generate a pdf \stoptext % % End of minimal example Regards

Is there a way to keep two rows in a natural table together (on the same page)? Thanks, Neal
