Unwanted whitespace with \startsection and in-margin headings
by Rik Kabel 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Following up on a related whitespace problem with descriptions and tables following in-margin headings -- I notice that \startsection behaves differently from \section when it comes to following whitespace for in-margin headings. This example demonstrates this: \setuplayout [backspace=6cm,leftmargin=6cm,rightmargin=1cm,cutspace=1cm] \setuphead [chapter][page=no] \setuphead [section][distance=0pt, alternative=text, command=\MarginHead] \define[2]\MarginHead{\inmargin{#1 #2}} \starttext \chapter{Traditional} There is no extra white space when using the traditional sectioning commands when the heading is placed in the margin. \section{No blank line} This text follows the section heading with no intervening space. No extra space has been added. \section{Blank line} This text follows the section heading with one intervening blank line. No extra space has been added. \startchapter[title={Startsection}] The newer sectioning commands are sensitive to the whitespace which follows when the heading is placed in the margin. \startsection[title={No blank line}] This text follows the section heading with no intervening space. No extra space has been added. \stopsection \startsection[title={Blank line ?}] This text follows the section heading with one intervening blank line. It shows the problem with startsection. \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext What can be done with the header setup to prevent this? -- Rik Kabel

Baskervald ADF Virtual Math Fonts
by joasyannick＠gmail.com 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hello, > Replacing certain symbols in a math font with a text font is very easy with the fallback > mechanism and the \definefallbackfamily command makes things even simpler. Thank you for your answer. The command \definefallbackfamily seems not to be a typescript-level command. Let us try \definefontfallback. Let us consider the statememt: \definefontfallback [BaskervaldOverPagella] [file:BaskervaldADFStd-Italic] [0x1D44E-0x1D467] [\check=yes,force=yes] I understand it as: “Replace the glyphs 0x1D44E-0x1D467 (mathematical a-z) of the source font with the glyphs from Baskervald italic having the same code.” But how do you map 0x1D44E-0x1D467 of the source font to 0x61-0x7a. How do you say: “Replace the glyphs 0x1D44E-0x1D467 (mathematical a-z) of the source font with the glyphs 0x61-0x7a (text a-z) from Baskervald italic”? For example something like: \definefontfallback [BaskervaldOverPagella] [file:BaskervaldADFStd-Italic] [0x1D44E-0x1D467] [0x61-0x7a] [\check=yes,force=yes] Other question: What do check, force and offset means? Thank you. Best regards, Joas.

Getting the current chapter number in the TOC
by Maggyero 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hello, How can I get the following table of contents? Contents Chapter first MyTitle Chapter II MyTitle Chapter III MyTitle I have tried: \MyNumber{\doifelse{\currentsectioncountervalue}{1}{first}{#1}} setuplist[chapter][numbercommand=\MyNumber] but it does not work. Actually because \currentsectioncountervalue always returns 0 in the table of contents. So I need another command which gives me the current number for testing if it is equal to one (first chapter). Thank you in advance.

Two figures are side by side

Hi, How do the two figures are side by side ? \setupTABLE[row][1,2][width=1.5cm,align={middle,lohi}] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=3cm,align={middle,lohi}] \starttext \startcombination[2*1] {% \bTABLE[align={middle,lohi}] \bTR\bTD{}\eTD\bTD{$A$}\eTD\bTD{$\overline{A}$}\eTD\bTD{Total}\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD{$B$}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD{$\overline{B}$}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD{Total}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\bTD{}\eTD\bTD{1}\eTD\eTR \eTABLE } {% {\externalfigure[denombrement.pdf]} } \stopcombination \stoptext

Spurious missing character log messages
by Rik Kabel 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

It appears that descriptions generate a spurious Missing character: There is no ^@ (U+0000) in font lmroman12-regular! log message. MWE: \definedescription[oops][] \starttext \oops{Where}is the U+0000? \stoptext The messages appears in the log once for each description in the document. This happens with the current (2014-04-15) beta. It does not happen with TL13. -- Rik Kabel

Column Width
by Thangalin 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi, According to the columns manual, the following should produce a two-column layout with the first column being 1/3 and the second column being 2/3 the makeupwidth: \definecolumnset[example][n=2] \setupcolumnset[example][1][width=.33\makeupwidth] \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \dorecurse{25}{\input knuth\column[local]} \stopcolumnset \stoptext Using: mtx-context | current version: 2014.01.03 00:40 What is the simplest example to achieve two different column widths for a columnset? (The Paragraphs example on the wiki -- http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Paragraphs -- works, but I need the flexibility of column sets.) Thank you!

\triangledown placed too low in Palatino
by Sanjoy Mahajan 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

I just noticed that the gradient operator (\triangledown) ends up too low when using Palatino: \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext $\triangledown T$ \stoptext It seems about 3pt too low. Without the \setupbodyfont[palatino], the placement is fine. (tested with 2013.05.28 and 2014.03.27 betas) -Sanjoy

Insert text at end of every paragraph
by Joshua Krämer 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear list, I want a text string to be inserted at the end of every paragraph. I've tried it like that: \define \par {Endstring\endgraf} \starttext \chapter {Chapter} \section {Section} \input knuth \input zapf \stoptext This works, but it results in a lot of additional strings. The string "Endstring" should appear on paragraph ends only (it's acceptable to appear after headings, too). How can I achieve the desired result? Is there maybe something like \EveryPar for the end of paragraphs? Thanks and kind regards, Joshua Krämer

Problem with pdf output for FeedARead.com
by Keith McKay 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Colleagues A friend of mine asked me to produce a small book of three of her short stories for FeedARead.com from a word document. On looking at the site I suggested I do a conversion to pdf since it would look much better and FeedARead recommend uploading pdf over word as well. So I set about using Context to produce a simple pdf for upload using the structure below: \definepapersize[leela][width=5in, height=8in] \setuppapersize[leela][leela] \setuplayout[backspace=0.75in,cutspace=0.5in,width=fit] \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}] \setupalign[nonhyphenated] \setuphead[section-3][number=no,align=middle][alternative=doublesided,location=footer] \setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict] \setuptolerance[horizontal,verytolerant] \starttext \midaligned{\tfd{Title Page}} \page FeedAReed blurb and copyright notice goes here. \setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter,section,subsection}] \completecontent \page[empty] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,alternative=doublesided,location=footer] \startsection[title={Knuth}] \input knuth\par \stopsection \page \startsection[title={Zapf}] \input zapf\par \stopsection \page \startsection[title={Tufte}] \input tufte\par \stopsection \stoptext As you can see it's nothing fancy but is produces nice copy. However, when my friend uploaded to FeedARead she received back this comment: /Please note that you have uploaded TWO pages of your book per one 5 inch wide x 8 inch high page e.g. on your file there would be two book pages of print per page and not one per page as required./ I did notice that when viewed in Adobe Reader, V11.0.6, it displays two pages on the screen at a time but on checking the documents properties it shows the correct page size so I thought it was OK. I've had a look on the wiki but haven't found anything obviously wrong in what I've done above. Is their something I'm missing in \definepapersize or \setuppapersize? I really don't want to have to tell her to upload the word doc. Thanks and Best Wishes Keith
