bug in hyphenation?
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Dear list, I have a simplified verson of the sample I submitted to the list almost a week ago: \setuppapersize[A8] \starttext \startlinenumbering \hsize\zeropoint sentence sentence sentence \stoplinenumbering \hsize\zeropoint sentence sentence sentence \stoptext I’m afraid that line numbering is preventing right hyphenations. Could anyone be so kind to confirm whether this is a bug or I am missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Permissible characters in ConTeXt reference labels
by Mark Szepieniec 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

I'm trying to fix a problem in pandoc (see https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/1589) where it doesn't properly sanitize the reference labels in ConTeXt output, causing errors during compilation when a label contains '#' for example. Note that this sanitizing is needed in addition to the regular backslash escaping used for control characters: '\#' is still illegal in a label for example. In the sanitizer function I'm writing, I'd like to properly escape all illegal characters, but I couldn't find an explicit list of allowed or illegal characters. Based on some testing I've conducted (see attached file), I've arrived at the following set: \#[]",{}%()|= 1) Does this look like a reasonable set? Are there other characters or sequences that should be included, or are worth testing? 2) I was told (see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pandoc-discuss/tYpXMUkmbEY) that if the characters " and , didn't work, it would count as a ConTeXt bug, is there any truth to that? Please let me know if any further info is needed on my part. 3) Does anyone see issues with this general approach? I'm relatively new to ConTeXt, so I might be missing either a huge problem, or an obviously easier way to do this. Thanks, Mark

Erratic error message
by Robert Blackstone 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi all, When typesetting my project with interaction, sometimes the processing stops after a few runs with an error message that points at an empty line in one of the chapters that normally gives no trouble. For interaction this setup is used: \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard,style=,color=blue,contrastcolor=] \placebookmarks[prechapter,chapter,section][prechapter,chapter,section][number=no] When I comment out the first of these two lines, in other words, without interaction, the project is processed without any problem. Sometimes, unfortunately not always, when I immediately repeat the processing with interaction, all goes well. So what is my problem? Not understanding what might be wrong, and not being able to correct things gives me a feeling of insecurity, trusting Murphy’s law to make sure that processing will fail when my deadline is approaching fast. I use mkiv on Mac OSX 10.9.4. All my standalone versions from january up to today give the same behaviour. I mostly get the following error message: (occasionally something different happens: the processing gets into some endless loop and I have to abort it) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tex error > error on line 2314 in file TD-Ch3.tex: !

Gallery of fonts
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Hello ConTeXtists, there are many fonts distributed with Ctx standalone (minimals). I'd like to create a "gallery" (or "preview") of fonts - one font per page (A4) with all its "kinds" (italic, bold, semibold; ss, rm, hw atc.), and a couple of sizes (10, 11, 12, 16, 24 pt). Is there a way how to create such gallery, which would walk through Ctx fonts directory (on my machine: c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf\fonts\*) automatically? - This would allow user to have a better overview over AVAILABLE fonts and their LOOK; and the code for the gallery generator would help user to see how to use/access fonts in a Ctx document. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

lpdf.checkedkey has problem with false values
by Michail Vidiassov 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Dear Developers and All, lpdf.checkedkey routine from lpdf-ini.lua has problems with accessing false boolean values, it returns them as nil. Is it by design or neglect? (I vaguely remember stumbling on this problems before, so there is a chance that I have already got the answer, but have forgotten it.) The minimal demo: \starttext \startluacode local function writebool(bv,text) if bv == true then io.write(text, " true \n") elseif bv == nil then io.write(text, " nil \n") else io.write(text, " false\n") end end local a = {} a["x"] = true a["y"] = false a["z"] = nil writebool(lpdf.checkedkey(a,"x","boolean"),"lpdf.checkedkey(a,\"x\",\"boolean\")") writebool(lpdf.checkedkey(a,"y","boolean"),"lpdf.checkedkey(a,\"y\",\"boolean\")") writebool(lpdf.checkedkey(a,"z","boolean"),"lpdf.checkedkey(a,\"z\",\"boolean\")") writebool(a.x,"a.x") writebool(a.y,"a.y") writebool(a.z,"a.z") \stopluacode TEST \stoptext It results in the following relevant output lpdf.checkedkey(a,"x","boolean") true lpdf.checkedkey(a,"y","boolean") nil lpdf.checkedkey(a,"z","boolean") nil a.x true a.y false a.z nil Note that false value was read by checkedkey as nil. Sincerely, MIchail

Scientific paper boiler plate
by Kip Warner 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hey list, I'd like to write a short scientific paper describing an algorithm I discovered in the realm of computational geometry a few years ago before I forget it entirely. I've been meaning to do this for some time, but haven't had a chance. I'd like to use ConTeXt. Does anyone have a sample source I could take a look at as a starting point? I will need to typeset some figures, pseudo code, references, etc. and this all takes much less time when someone much more clever than I, like Wolfgang or Hans already has a similar environment file and such setup. Respectfully, -- Kip Warner -- Senior Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

problem with buffer
by Kenny 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

I'm writing a module to typeset problems/tests. Depending on a flag, solutions are either displayed or not. If the solutions are not displayed, I want to give a certain amount of empty vertical space for the student's work. This is where my difficulty begins. The typesetting works with the solutions displayed (\def\examshowsolutions} {yes}) but not with the empty vertical space (\def\examshowsolutions{no}). I get an "Emergency stop" that I cannot figure out. Here's the code for a minimal example of my difficulty.. \def\setupsolutions{ \doifelse{\examshowsolutions}{yes} {\defineenumeration[SOLUTION] % display the solutions [text=\Word{solution},number=no, after={\vskip1ex}]} {\definebuffer[SOLUTION] % hide solutions, \setupbuffer[SOLUTION][local=yes]} } \def\startsolution{\dosingleempty\dostartsolution} \def\dostartsolution[#1]{ \getparameters[solution][height=1em,] % set defaults (needed in case parameters missing) \iffirstargument \writestatus{DEBUG}{--First argument: |#1|} \getparameters[solution][#1,] \fi \writestatus{DEBUG}{--\solutionheight--} \startSOLUTION \writestatus{DEBUG}{--dostartsolution...finished} } \def\stopsolution{ \stopSOLUTION \writestatus{DEBUG}{--dostopsolution...1} \doif{\examshowsolutions}{no}{\godown[\solutionheight]} \writestatus{DEBUG}{--dostopsolution...finished} } \starttext \def\examshowsolutions{no} % control whether solutions are displayed \setupsolutions \startsolution % test without vertical height specified Here is a solution. \stopsolution \startsolution[height=5em] % test with vertical height specified Here is another solution. \stopsolution \stoptext The error occurs with the \startSOLUTION command.
