Difficulties with \startformula
by Elspeth McGullicuddy 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi, 1- I put here a far too long example to show difficulties that I have with formulas in conjunction with framed: I haven't find a way to insert a formula (displaystyle, vertical mode), at the beginning of a \framed. 2- It might be related with this other thing: The last examples are about mouse text selection with Okular (haven't tried with another viewer): When I "mouse text select" elements of the formula, when the \startformula \stopformula in embeded in a \hbox, what is highlighted looks alright. Instead, when it's in "vertical mode", what is highlighted is very very large. It's probably not the purpose of pdf documents, but this select (and copy) feature is very convenient. This feature is rather impinged with this not so nice looking behavior. Also in these conditions Okular can't select the text precisely, but instead select a much wider area of text (one example here does this). 3- When embedded in \hbox (not vertical mode then), the height of "mouse text section" is alright is formula is 'x+y', but there is an error if the formula in instead '\int_a^b'. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \setupformulas[spacebefore=-1ex] \framed[width=5cm,align=yes]{% Hello } \framed[width=5cm,align=yes]{% Hello \startformula x+y \stopformula } \framed[width=5cm,align=yes]{% %Hello \startformula x+y \stopformula } \framed[width=5cm,align=yes]{% \vskip-1.3\baselineskip \startformula x+y \stopformula } \framed[width=5cm,align=yes]{% \hairline \startformula x+y \stopformula \hairline } \hairline \startformula x+y \stopformula \hairline \framed[align=yes]{% \type{\vrule \hrule \vbox $$}\\ \hbox{\vrule{\hsize=7cm\vbox{\hrule $$ x+y $$ \input{knuth} \hrule}}\vrule}} \framed[align=yes]{% trying to select the ``x'' in the next formula, select text [\type{he ``xhe \vbox x+ syste conyer and}]\\ \type{\vrule \hrule \vbox \startformula}\\ \hbox{\vrule{\hsize=7cm\vbox{\hrule \startformula x+y \stopformula \input{knuth} \hrule}}\vrule}} \framed[align=yes]{% \type{\framed \vbox \startformula}\\ \framed{% {\hsize=5cm\vbox{% \startformula x+y \stopformula \input{knuth} }}}} \framed[align=yes]{% \type{\framed $$}\\ \framed[align=yes,width=5cm]{% $$ x+y $$ \input{knuth} }} \startbuffer \hbox{\vrule\startformula \int_a^b x+y \stopformula} \stopbuffer \framed[align=yes]{% This line generates an error\\ \typebuffer} \framed[align=yes]{% When one ``text select'' with mouse with Okular, height of selection is correct.\\ \hbox{\vrule\startformula x+y \stopformula}} \framed[align=yes]{% When one ``text select'' with mouse with Okular, height of selection is much larger than expected.\\ \startformula x+y \stopformula} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Regards, Chris

Dear list, I'm using an updated Context minimals beta, and can't get autohang to work (in Mark IV). "autohang=yes" seems to be ignored. It doesn't help to add "totalnumber=...". \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=apa, criterium=all, numbering=yes, autohang=yes] \setuppublicationlist[totalnumber=1000] \starttext \completepublications \stoptext Kind regards, Joshua Krämer

invoices: make module or wikify
by Peter Münster 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi, I'm writing my invoices like this: \environment e-invoice \beginInvoice \startInvItem[amount=123] bla bla 1 \stopInvItem \startInvItem[amount=456] bla bla 2 \stopInvItem \endInvoice If anybody is interested (e.g. for using it, making a module or wikifying), then I can send my files (no time to do it myself...) There are also calculations: \environment e-calculation \beginCalculation \startCalcItem[title=Title 1][hours=123] Do this and that, bla bla bla. \stopCalcItem \startCalcItem[title=Title 2][hours=456] Do something else, a lot of work. \stopCalcItem \endCalculation -- Peter

[***SPAM***] Invoice Example
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

I copied the three files required for the invoice example on the wiki garden. invoice.tex, invoicefunctions.tex, adn invoicesetup.tex $ context invoice.tex The above compiles without error, but the resulting pdf doesn't give me what I would expect. There is a " Regression in latest release of iT E X " In the main body of the document, which I don't think should be there. My setup: mtx-context | current version: 2013.09.03 16:23 Is the source out of date with the context version I am using or am I missing something? Thanks

\defineframedtext take precedence over \defineframed and add "extra padding"
by Elspeth McGullicuddy 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

In the following example \defineframedtext take precedence over \defineframed, and also I don't know how I can get rid of the "extra padding" (looks like a good \baselineskip before the text). (What I want is the first output, but with the readability of \startXY \stopXY) As for the "take precedence", I can change the name; But for the extra padding I don't know how to remove it. I could add a \vskip-\baselineskip at the beginning, but there is probably a better solution. (By the way, the construction \blueframed{\startformula hello\stopformula \input knuth} behave badly.) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \setupcolor[x11] \defineframed [blueframed] [width=local,frame=off,rulethickness=2mm,backgroundoffset=1mm,% align=yes,background=color,backgroundcolor=lightblue,% corner=round,radius=1.5mm] \blueframed{\input{knuth}} \defineframedtext [blueframed] [width=local,frame=on,%rulethickness=2mm,backgroundoffset=1mm,% margin=no, align=yes,background=color,backgroundcolor=lightblue,% corner=round,radius=1.5mm] \blueframed{\input{knuth}} \startblueframed \input{knuth} \stopblueframed \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%% Regards, Chris

Include PDF Fails
by Thangalin 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hi, I am trying to include a single test page in my document. The following code fails to set the PDF as the background layer for the cover page. I've tried several variations (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_documents) but nothing works. It seems to be a problem with this specific PDF being included. The code: -- 8< -- \def\PictureFrontCover{http://www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf} \definelayer[page:CoverPicture][ x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight, ] % Set the layer content to be an image that is scaled to fit the page. \setlayer[page:CoverPicture]{% \externalfigure[\PictureFrontCover][ width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight, ] } \starttext \startfrontmatter \setupbackgrounds[page][background=page:CoverPicture] \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \setupbackgrounds[page][background=] \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter Hello world! \stopbodymatter \stoptext -- 8< -- Thoughts?

Bug in \placefigure[right]?
by Mari Voipio 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hello! For a while I've been baffled by a weird bug where sometimes I get overset text when using \placefigure[right]. The problem appeared sometime this autumn in places where everything has worked before. This far I've (reluctantly) worked my way around the bug by using hard line breaks where needed, but the current project has so many of those spots that a more flexible solution would be nice. On the other hand, just because I have so many of them and some appeared today, I realized that the problem can be related to {\tfx } in the beginning of the line. Here's a minimal example: ============ \starttext \placefigure [right][cow] {A cow} {\externalfigure[cow]} {\tfx SET TIME/DATE} allows you to (re)set the instrument date and time. Time is set by inputting a certain amount of digits. Possible inputs are 4, 6, 8 and 12 digits. To set hours and minutes, input 4 digits. To set day of month and time input 6 digits. To set month, day and time input 8 digits. To set year, month, day and time input 12 digits. In all cases seconds can be set by separating them with a dot. The format can be seen below. \input tufte \stoptext =============== I know it is not beautiful, but I'm doing something very specific where this is needed. In a real pinch I can probably rewrite every problem sentence to put the \tfx in the middle instead of the beginning, but this still doesn't make the original problem go away. (Although I may be the only one bothered by it...) Mari PS. Hmm... Same thing if I use {\sc blabla} so while I reallly should switch to small caps, that is not the solution. PS2. I just tried with \placefigure[left] and I get overset text with it, too.
