tweaking placefloat
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hi wizards, in a new book project I need to place some photos covering the upper or lower half of the page (bleeding, not within textarea) with a caption below resp. above the photo, within textwidth. Is it possible to tweak placefloat, so that I can use \placefloat[here,top/bottom]{Caption}{\externalfigure[something][width=\the\dimexpr\paperwidth+3mm\relax]} for this layout? Or is there a better solution? Should I use layers instead? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

quick and shallow question about layers
by Schmitz Thomas A. 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi, this is pretty shallow, but maybe someone knows a way: for one of my presentation, every slide has a (different) picture as background. The title is typeset within a narrow colored frame which extends across the entire slide. Is there any way to make the background picture show through the letters of the title, i.e. make the letters transparent within the colored frame? I thought of metapost’s infill, but it appears that this only adds a background color, not real transparency. Hope the question is clear enough - just in case someone has a suggestion; my life doesn’t depend on it! Thanks and all best Thomas

extra link border with alternative=c
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hans, I have a the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[references.border] \setuplist[chapter][alternative=d] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{\TeX} \stoptext It shows that the E from \TeX has an extra frame in content list. I don’t know what might be causing it, but it seems to be wrong. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Footnote maker in parentheses
by Stéphane Goujet 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hello, I would like that the footnote marker (both in the note call and the footnote text) appear in parentheses. I tried using : \setupnotation[footnote][titleleft={(},titleright={)}] because the names title* sounded close to what I was looking for, but it did not produce any change (neither in the call nor in the foonote itself). Are those the correct parameters to play with ? Do they need another parameter/option to be set in order to enable them ? Greetings, Stéphane.

Hi all, I am using Ubuntu Light but it seems that I did not set it up properly since the double dash -- stays untouched instead of joining inti a longer one... Best, Flavien. \definefontfamily[mainface][sans][Ubuntu][tf=style:light] \setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt] \starttext -- \stoptext

Draw eletrical circuits in ConTeXt (Circuitikz or mpcirc.mp)

Color of the "headers" of one enumeration

How can I achieve that "Punt 1." were in darkblue? Now I just have "Punt". Thanks in advance, Xan

[font-otn] bug in node mode
by Philipp Gesang 25 Mar '14

Hi Hans, at least the Plain format breaks as soon as you define a font in node mode: \font \testfont = "lmroman10-regular.otf:mode=node" \testfont foo \bye Patch attached. Best regards, Philipp

much slower compilation with latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hans, I’m afraid there might be something wrong with beta from 2014.03.24 00:52. With a book I’m writing, either in complete (from a previous --purgeall) or partial (from previous .tuc and .log files) compilation, the latest beta needs 8 runs to compile a document. It takes about 140 secs with luatex and about 100 with luajittex. Document source is exactly the same in all cases. The same document with beta from 2014.03.07 11:42 (sorry, I don’t have the previous beta) requires a single run for a partial compilation which about 12 secs. Total compilation needs 4 runs that take about 50 secs. I think that the same may happen with the ConTeXt reference manual. Since compilation is not direct, all statistics I can provide is that it took 358.491 secs with latest beta from 2014.03.24 00:52. and 296.778 secs with previous beta from 2014.03.07 11:42. I guess there might be a bug here. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
