PDF Forms - expanding multi-line text fields
by Michael Guravage 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

I am composing a document that contains pdf forms. Example code in "Widgets Uncovered," shows how to specify the height and width of a multi-line text field. Here is a small example: \usemodule[fields] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupfield [TextSetup] [width=\textwidth,height=5em,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.97,frame=off] \definefield [Block] [text] [TextSetup] \starttext \field [Block] \stoptext In this example the height is 5em. The field will scroll lines up when the height of the lines typed exceeds the height of the field. Click outside the field and the field displays the first n-lines that fit within its height. My question is, is it possible to tell the field to expand beyond its initial field height to display all its lines? A second less pressing question is, is it possible to tell lines to wrap when they exceed the field width? -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

bugs in page breaks with items
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Dear Hans, sorry for bothering you with this, but today I found an ugly pagebreak such as the following in a book I’m writting: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{10}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{5}{This is an item. } \item \dorecurse{15}{This is an item. } \item \dorecurse{5}{This is an item. } \stopitemize \stoptext The second item from the list has the page break in the sample above. But if you comment the last item from the list, first two items fit in the first page. For some strange reason, ConTeXt is not able to leave the third item in that list alone in the second page. I have the strong impression that items themselves (not the paragraphs they contain) are handled by ConTeXt with rules for widow and orphan lines. The example above shows this. If you change recursion in the second item from 15 to 10 (so that the item has three lines), the whole list is moved to the second page. I think that the first item should remain on the first page. Another sample that shows the same behavior: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{10}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \dorecurse{4}{\item This is an item.\par} \stopitemize \stoptext If there are four items, all text fits in one page. If there are five items, three items remain in the first page and two items move to the second page (not only the last one, as it should). But if there are six items in the list, the first four ones remain in the first page and the other two move to the second page. Could you fix these page breaks? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

hyperlinks within a PDF
by Robert Zydenbos 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Forgive me for what must seem a beginners’ question, but I really could not find the solution in the documentation or the Wiki: How do I create hyperlinks within a PDF to another spot in the text of that same PDF? I had expected I could do something like: Here is a \goto{link}[label:1]. … \label[label:1]{This is what the link points to.} -- but I cannot find anything that resembles this in the documentation.

options for \setuppapersize
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Dear list, I’m trying to explain the options of \setuppapersize in a book, but I’m not sure they work. With latest beta from 2014.06.15 15:54, this is the results I get with a minimal document such as: \setuppapersize[A5] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext I cannot make the options mirrored, rotated, 90, 180, 270 and negative work. Do they work as expected or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

understanding elements and \blank
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Dear list, if I’m not wrong, elements are defined and configured in ConTeXt with \defineelement and \setupelement in the preamble of the document. Then they can be invoked using the identifier as a command. \definemargindata[MyMarginData][location=outer] \starttext \MyMarginData{Zapf}\input zapf \stoptext My question is; why are blank elements different? \defineblank[MyBlank][10*big] \starttext \input zapf \blank[MyBlank] \input zapf \stoptext Sorry for the basic question, but I’m trying to understand the reason why to explain it to others. Are there other elements that cannot be invoked with \identifier? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

reading modules broken?
by Meer, H. van der 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

My modules are not read anymore, allthough Context thinks it does. This must have been the case for some time. I ran a test with an older version which demonstrates that the change in behaviour must have occurred after january second. Minimal example follows. Hans van der Meer Module code in file module-test is: \writestatus{HVDM}{Module has been read} \endinput Test code in file moduletest.tex is: \usemodule[module-test] \starttext module testing look into the log. \stoptext In the log I find: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) \write18 enabled. open source > 1 > 1 > /Users/hansm/tex/context-20/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv ConTeXt ver: 2014.06.05 23:04 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.6.6 int: english/english open source > 2 > 3 > /Users/hansm/tex/test-tex/modules/moduletest.tex resolvers > modules > 'module-test' is already loaded <-- wrongly thinks it is loaded It says the module is already loaded, but the telltale \writestatus is absent. Running the same code with an older version of ConTeXt does load the module: ConTeXt ver: 2014.01.02 20:05 MKIV current fmt: 2014.1.2 int: english/english (/Users/hansm/tex/test-tex/modules/moduletest.tex resolvers > modules > 'module-test' is loaded <-- loads as it should (module-test.tex HVDM > Module has been read

Lilypond
by David Wooten 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Greetings all, it’s been quite a while since I tried to use lilypond snippets in a context file. Looks like we’re now using the filter module… can someone post a small working example file to get me started? —there are a number of different & some incomplete approaches to be found, none of which work :) Kind regards, David

Dear Hans, many thanks for the beta from 2014.06.11 15:52. All wrong page breaks due to subtitles that I reported to this list (I think they have been four) seem to be fixed with this beta. Many thanks for your work, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi everyone, could you tell me how to use the Ubuntu font for the math command \max in the following example? \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [Ubuntu] [regularfont=ubuntu,italicfont=ubuntuitalic,boldfont=ubuntubold] \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [math] [Ubuntu] [preset=math:lowercaseitalic,tf=name:ubuntu] \definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext $ abc \max$ abc max \stoptext I am also interesting by knowing where I can find all the features "preset=math:" possible. Best regards, Flavien.

question about italic correction
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear list, I would like to show the difference with italic correction (as well as with expansion and protrusion). I have the following sample: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \definefontfeature[noitlc][default][itlc=no] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] \starttext {\em of}) \adff[noitlc] {\em of}) \stoptext Is there no way to show italic correction enabled and disabled in the same document? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
