Feature request: use rsvg-convert
by Thangalin 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi, Re: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Using_Graphics#Image_Conversion I recommend using rsvg-convert instead of inkscape. For example: wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Inkscape_0.48.2_with_Red_Gallardo.svg -O car.svg time rsvg-convert --format pdf car.svg --output car-rsvg.pdf time inkscape --file=car.svg --export-pdf=car-inkscape.pdf --without-gui wget http://openclipart.org/download/people/TheStructorr/TheStructorr_Lamborghin… -O car2.svg time rsvg-convert --format pdf car2.svg --output car2-rsvg.pdf time inkscape --file=car2.svg --export-pdf=car2-inkscape.pdf --without-gui Here, inkscape is slightly faster yet produces slightly larger files. inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 (Jan 22 2014) rsvg-convert version 2.40.2 More importantly, inkscape renders incorrectly. The horizontal and vertical rule marks are missing in the first image. The gradient shadows are missing in the second image, and the grill is incorrect (looks like a layer order issue).

mirrored leftmarginwidth in enumerations
by Sanjoy Mahajan 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

If anyone has a suggestion for putting enumeration texts toward the right edge of the left margin, I would be grateful. In MkII enumerations, I would put a triangle (fig.2) in the left margin using \defineenumeration [pause] [title=no, text={\externalfigure[fig.2][height=1em]}, location=inleft, number=no, ] The triangle was automatically aligned toward the right side of the left margin (fill glue on the left), which was what I wanted, on even and odd pages. In MkIV, the marginal text is automatically aligned to the left side. I restored the MkII effect using this hack (using a > instead of the triangle, to make the example more self contained): \defineenumeration [pause] [title=no, text={\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{\hfil $>$}}, number=no, alternative=inleft, ] But I just realized that the hack doesn't work for double-sided layouts. Using the leftmarginwidth is correct on the odd pages, but it is too big for the even pages. Thus, on page 2 of the example below, the > overlaps the "question" text. Is there a more idiomatic MkIV replacement for my hack? Or is my hack okay, but ConTeXt should be updated to interpret leftmarginwidth to mean "the leftmarginwidth, as appropriate for an odd or an even page"? Here is the example: \setuplayout[marking=on,location=middle, backspace=1.25in, leftmargindistance=0.125in, leftmargin=0.625in, width=4.75in, rightmargindistance=0.25in, rightmargin=0.25in, ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative={doublesided}] \defineenumeration [pause] [title=no, text={\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{\hfil $>$}}, number=no, alternative=inleft, ] \def\question#1{\startpause\relax #1 \stoppause} \showframe \starttext \question{hello} \page \question{hello} \stoptext

PDF document metadata: keyword and date

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start, author={I, Me}, keyword={interactive document, ConTeXt}, date=03-02-2004] \starttext Hi.\page Hi. \stoptext I have two questions: How can I avoid the removal of commas in the keyword option? How should I specify the date option? (Even with the format D:199812231952-08'00, I don’t get it working.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Defining commands in \start ... \stop
by Xan 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi, Concerned with the answers to the [that topic](http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077099.html), I was thinking if I could define a command "Exercise" with a optional argument (the "Answer"). \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \defineenumeration[question][text={Question}] \defineenumeration[answer] [text={Answer}] \keepblocks[question] \hideblocks[answer] Something like \startexercise My execise ... \stopexercise If no more is provide, at the question does \incrementcounter[answer] If \startexercise{\startsolution The solution is \stopsolution} My exercise \stopexercise then \beginanswer and \startanswer is called. Is it possible? I just want to know if it's better to have \startBla...\stopBla command or \Bla{} command type? In the case of the first, how do you define that? I did not find it here (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments) Thanks, Xan PS: Please CCme

PDF bookmarks issue with heads
by Pablo Rodriguez 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hans, just accidentally, I discovered that adding a head (the content list itself) before the front matter disorders PDF bookmarks (bodymatter is before frontmatter). Here is a sample \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section] \starttext \completecontent %~ \title{Contents} %~ \chapter{Contents} \startfrontmatter \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{Chapter in frontmatter} \section{Section in frontmatter}} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{Chapter in bodymatter} \section{Section in bodymatter}} \stopbodymatter \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

PDF bookmarks don’t follow sectionconversionset

Hans, I’m afraid that PDF bookmarks don’t follow sectionconversionset option from \setuphead. Here is the sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section] \definestructureconversionset[sectionnumbers][0,I,A,n,g][n] \definestructureconversionset[appendix:sectionnumbers][0,A,n,g,a][n] \setupheads[sectionconversionset=sectionnumbers] \starttext \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter in bodymatter} \section{Section in bodymatter} \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{Chapter in appendices} \section{Section in appendices} \stopappendices \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

wrong bookmark destinations in PDF files
by Pablo Rodriguez 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hans, I’m afraid that bookmark destinations are wrong in latest beta from 2014.03.25 16:58. Here you have the minimal sample (that I copied from source): \nopdfcompression \starttext \setupinteraction[state=start]\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter] \chapter{First} \bookmark{The First Indeed} \section{alpha} \bookmark[chapter]{The First Indeed Again} \section{beta} \chapter{Second} \bookmark{The Second Indeed} \section{gamma \tex{radiation}} \subsection{a} \subsection{b} \section{delta} \section{epsilon} \chapter{Third \relax} \chapter{我〈能吞下玻璃而不傷身〉體。}% whatever that means \chapter{Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد} \stoptext The output generated with beta from 2014.03.25 16:58 (http://www.ousia.tk/wrong-destination.pdf) contains bookmarks that don’t work either in okular or in SumatraPDF (I don’t have other viewers to check it). The output generated with beta from 2014.03.07 11:42 (http://www.ousia.tk/right-destination.pdf) works fine with these viewers. I’m afraid this might be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

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
