Linenumbering and bidi
by Rik Kabel 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I have requirements similar to those of Stéphane Goujet to reproduce the typography of earlier times, and I tried to adapt the code presented in his note earlier today titled “Quotation blocs with repetition symbol in the left column.” The result of this attempt is the discovery of two issues with linenumbering. I will present these in separate notes. This note involves an unfortunate interaction with bidi. The other problem involves startnarrower. Both issues occur with the current 20140328 beta. Adding the line \setupdirections[bidi=on,method=two] to Stéphane’s example results in the disappearance of the guillemots that would otherwise be placed as linenumbers. In my case, this bidi variant is needed to prevent misplaced references. The issue of misplaced references was discusssed in a recent thread by Pablo Rodriguez (Re: [NTG-context] (again) bug with bidi direction and \about references, begun on 3 March). The bidi issue does not occur with TL2013, although perhaps method=two is meaningless there. Other bidi options do not show this problem. -- Rik Kabel

Hi, this works ok in the beta \showmakeup \starttext \strut \hfill first line \blank[overlay] second line \hfill \strut \ruledvbox { \strut \hfill line 1 \blank[overlay] line 2\hfill \strut \blank[overlay] \strut \hfill line 3\hfill \strut } \startitemize[n] \item bla \item \startitemize[a] \item bla $\displaystyle\int^{x^{y^4}}$ \item bla \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext (somewhat tricky solution for the reported itemize issue) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Linenumbering and startnarrower
by Rik Kabel 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I have requirements similar to those of Stéphane Goujet to reproduce the typography of earlier times, and I tried to adapt the code presented in his note earlier today titled "Quotation blocs with repetition symbol in the left column." The result of this attempt is the discovery of two issues with linenumbering. I will present these in separate notes. This note involves an unfortunate interaction with startnarrower. The other problem involves bidi. Both issues occur with the current 20140328 beta. Placing one of the examples in Stéphane's message into a startnarrower environment results in a shift of the linenumbered section to the left margin. As an example, replace his final section with the following: \setupnarrower[left=2cm,right=2cm] \startnarrower[left,right] Now, a quote block starting just there, {\bf in the middle of a line} ({\bf space after colon is too big}):\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel . This a bit of text at the end of the quotation. It {\bf seems fine}. And let's call a {\bf footnote}\footnote{\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel}. Unfortunately {\bf no quote repetition symbol will appear in it}. \stopnarrower -- Rik Kabel -- Rik Kabel

Different size points in ellipsis
by Stéphane Goujet 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hello again, If you look at one of the images in my previous post (I attached it here again), you may notice the ellipsis (that has 5 periods instead of 3, but that is not my concern). Its last period is bigger, to indicate the fusion of the ellipsis and the sentence final period. It does not seem stupid to me, so, out of curiosity (I believe, in the end, I will stick to the modern typography, even if it is more confusing), could that be easily typeset with Context ? Either with a bigger final period, or with a normal size final period and other smaller ones. I guess the second way is better, for consistency with other periods in other sentences. So far, I have defined ellipsis (all periods having the same size) as: \unexpanded\def\ell{{\def\periodswidth{.4em}\periods[5]}} Regards, Stéphane.

\starttyping while processing XML causing error
by Xan 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hi, I have this minimal example: 1) Tasques.context: \environment ./entorn-xml \starttext A \xmlprocessfile{demo}{./dades.xml}{} B \stoptext 2) entorn-xml.tex: \startxmlsetups xml:demo:base \xmlsetsetup{demo}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{demo}{things|code|}{xml:demo:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base} \startxmlsetups xml:demo:things \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups %TODO: startcode: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/064750.html \startxmlsetups xml:demo:code \bigskip \startlines\xmlflush{#1}\stoplines \stopxmlsetups 3) dades.xml: <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes' encoding="UTF-8"?> <things> <code> [root@serviedre ~]# pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core 193.0 KiB 50.0K/s 00:04 [######################] 100% extra 2037.1 KiB 166K/s 00:12 [##########################################] 100% community 2.2 MiB 374K/s 00:06 [##########################################] 100% alarm 55.6 KiB 242K/s 00:00 [##########################################] 100% aur 64.0 KiB 288K/s 00:00 [##########################################] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: linux-sun4i: ignoring package upgrade (3.4.79-1 => 3.4.79-2) warning: linux-sun4i-headers: ignoring package upgrade (3.4.79-1 => 3.4.79-2) there is nothing to do </code> </things> When I compile tasques.context, all is ok, but when I substitute the \startlines \stoplines with \starttyping \stoptyping context never ends. Is that a bug? I just found [this](http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/064750.html), but really no solution. Since 2012 I suppose many things are changed so I ask. Why doesn't it work? Thanks in advance, Xan.

\placebookmarks only assigns pages for PDF bookmarks for sections that have been referenced
by Philipp A. 28 Mar '14

title says it. a section/title/whatever that doesn’t have a \in or \at pointing at it gets no page assigned. so i have an outline in the bookmark bar, but only like 3 of the entries link to a page.

lower superscripts in MkIV -- too low?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Dear math typesetting aficianados, In the following example, \starttext $x^3\ x\mathstrut^3$ \stoptext the superscript without the strut is about 2pt lower than with the strut, using MkIV. With MkII or plain TeX, they are the same height (at the higher position obtained by using the \mathstrut in MkIV). My eye tells me that the higher position looks more right. Do others agree? Or, if it's a matter of taste, is the difference configurable so that one can get the MkII behavior even without the \mathstrut? -- -Sanjoy

Stepper code fails
by Michael Guravage 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

The Stepper example on the wiki, <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Stepper>from which the following snippet comes, \usemodule[pre-60] % use the stepper \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \defineoverlay[invoke] [\overlaybutton{InvokeStepper}] \setupbackgrounds[text] [background=invoke] \setupinteraction[state=start,click=off] \starttext ex nihilo \stoptext fails here with the following error: ! LuaTeX error ...eXt-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-mis.lua:146: attempt to call upvalue 'pdfaction' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...eXt-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-mis.lua:146: in function '?' ...eXt-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-ini.lua:700: in function 'run' ...eXt-beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-ini.lua:722: in function 'finalizepage' [string "\latelua "]:1: in main chunk. Though I am using the latest beta, I do not think this problem caused by changes in the latest release. I have attached the log file for those who are interested. Any suggestions how to rectify this problem would be much appreciated. With kind regards, Michael Guravage

Box flowed and hanging into the margin
by Markus Finke 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I need a textbox with an opening and closing picture as border. This box should be flowed around by maintext and hanging into the outer margin (for reasons of space and design). It seems to be a simple task but I have no advance since days. Any idea? \setuphanging[location=right] \starttext \starthanging{ \placefigure[here,none]{} {\startcombination[1*2] {\externalfigure[line.png][width=5cm]}{\tfx\input ward \endgraf} {\externalfigure[line.png][width=5cm]}{} \stopcombination} }\input knuth \stophanging \stoptext
