> a real minimal example with clear explanation is needed so that it can > be traced (and we need to be sure the font is right) I have postet a minexample already here: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077590.html There is a link to the used font, too. If you have problem to see the unicode (like in my mailer), then you can copy the symbol from pure html here: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/attachments/20140402/d24030dc/attac… You can see the outout, like it should be (screenshot from other programms outputs) here: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/attachments/20140402/d24030dc/attac… It is a very small and clear minexample in my view :) I do not know, if the font is valid, surely it may have some problems. But in this case other programs I tried (namely CorelDraw and MS Word) do not have any problems with this unicode-symbol. Help and fix would be great, as this symbol is the only one left in my list of hacks and workarounds to typeset the quran with ConTeXt. (Hacks etc. needed, because unfortunately there are no good arabic font, either free or commercial, which can be used for the massive needs of typesetting quran (thats why nearly all used qurans are still written by hand)). But if I can make it clearer, I will definitely try, because it is an important question for typessting quran with ConTeXt. Thanks! Huseyin

Page layouts in chapter 3 of manual.
by john Culleton 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

I am having a bit of trouble matching up the diagrams in chapter three with the corresponding \setuparranging statements. For example which \setuparranging statement matches up with figure 3.21 (8 pages single sided 1 sheet.)? I think it is [ZFLYER-8] but I am not certain. -- 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

another issue with PDF bookmarks
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear list, I have a sample that shows an issue with PDF bookmarks: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \setupheadertexts[chapter] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Footnote\footnote{Only in bookmarks}} \stoptext Sorry, but I don’t know why the footnote is removed in the table of contents and in the header, but it isn‘t in the bookmark. Am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Wrong pagenumber in index
by jaheinen＠gmx.de 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Try 1: \starttext \section{Hello}\index{Hello} \page \index{world}world \page \completeindex \stoptext Result 1: hello 2 <- must be 1! world 2 Try 2: \starttext \section{Hello}\index{Hello} some text <- putting some text here \page \index{world}world \page \completeindex \stoptext Result 2: hello 1 <- ok world 2 It is ok but I didn't want to put text "some text" there. Try 3: Workaround: I put a tilde "~" instead of "some text": \starttext \section{Hello}\index{Hello} ~ <- putting the tilde here \page \index{world}world \page \completeindex \stoptext Result 3: hello 1 <- ok, with the tilde as a workaround world 2 I don't like such tricks - is there a ConTeXt-way?

My question ist still unclear, I guess? How to describe it better? Or, if understood, is that not solvable easily? Thanks for help to make this font completely work with ConTeXt Huseyin

Averaged integrals
by Janne Junnila 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi, Is there a command to produce an averaged integral sign ($\int$ with a slash drawn across it)? On a related note: It seems to me that \ointclockwise and \ointctrclockwise produce results opposite to what their names would indicate. Thanks, Janne Junnila

URL macro with \bgroup ... \egroup
by Joshua Krämer 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Dear list, I want to have better hyphenated and clickable URLs in my bibliography. I have defined the following macro: \define [1] \URL {\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]} And I want to use it in the bibliography like that: \setuppublicationlayout [electronic] { \inserturl{ URL:\ \URL\bgroup }{\egroup.}{}% } But the macro doesn't work with \bgroup ... \egroup, it works with braces only. Minimal non-working example: \define [1] \URL {\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]} \starttext \URL \bgroup http://test.invalid\egroup \stoptext It complains about too many }. How can I use my URL macro in the bibliography? Thanks and kind regards, Joshua Kraemer

Vertically stretched split table
by Joshua Krämer 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Dear list, if I specify "option=height" with an xtable, a single-page table is stretched vertically to fill the whole textheight. However, I need this feature with a multipage table. In the following example, the table on the first page should be stretched, but isn't: \showframe \starttext \startxtable [option=height, split=yes] \startxrow \startxcell \input knuth \stopxcell \startxcell \input ward \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \input zapf \stopxcell \startxcell \input ward \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \input knuth \stopxcell \startxcell \input ward \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext The table parts on all the pages but the last page should be stretched vertically. If this isn't possible with xtable, is it possible in another way? I hope it is possible without splitting the table by hand, because it is a big project with several hundred table pages, and splitting by hand would make changes (additional rows) really hard. Thanks for your help and kind regards, Joshua Krämer

Baskervald ADF Virtual Math Fonts
by joasyannick＠gmail.com 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

Hello, Thank you for the answer. >if you have a proper opentype math Font… As you know, Baskervald doesn’t come with an open type math version. Moreover the mapping mechanism works well with open type text fonts and is powerful and very general. It’s my prefered way of solving my problem. So I reiterate my questions: Question 1: Where do I define my own vector mapping? Should I modify ConTeXt’s source code in the math-ttv.lua file? How do I define my own baskervald-math.lua and what should I write in it (for example for mapping Pagella’s upright mathematic glyphs to Baskervald’s upright glyphs)? Question 2: I am forced to put the goodies file baskervald-math.lfg in Book/Volume1/Chapter1. When I put it in Book and compiled chapter1.tex separately, ConTeXt failed to find it. What should I do to have the file baskervald-math.lfg in the Book directory and make ConTeXt find it when invoked from Book/Volume1/Chapter1. Thank you. Joas.
