what happened to hangaround?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi again, I’d like to flow some text around a picture. There was undocumented \starthangaround (it’s still in cont-new.mkiv in the garden), but it’s unknown in latest beta. Is there a replacement? \starttext \starthangaround{\externalfigure[koe][width=0.33\textwidth]} \input tufte \stophangaround \input knuth \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

proposal about link borders
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

Hi Hans, many thanks for fixing the issue with links (and other two issues about PDF information). I have two proposals about hyperlinks, after having looked at an uncompressed file with hyperlinks. AFAIK, they haven’t been implemented (I have checked the wiki, the “ConTeXt Commands” documents, the reference manual, and the source [I apologize, if I have overlooked something]). My first proposal would be an option to have link borders enabled. I guess that something like \setupinteraction[linkborders=on] would be a good choice. With this option, one can have an interactive version and a printable version of a document in the same file. This is extremely useful in many scenarios. My second proposal would be an option to have colored link borders. \setupinteraction[linkbordercorlor=on] could be the option to enable color in link borders. I think both proposals could be useful for (at least for some) interactive documents. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Placing arbitrary pdf bookmarks
by Jean-Philippe Rey 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hello all, I am willing to use ConTeXt to produce a bunch of stickers. My stickers are grouped into categories but I don't want any headers or titles to interfere with the layout of the stickers, so I didn't use \startchapter and the likes. However, I would like to add pdf bookmarks in order to quickly jump to the start of a category. After taking a look at strc-bkm.mkiv, I tried the following \setupinteraction[state=start] \definelist[building] \definelist[aisle] \placebookmarks[building,aisle] \starttext \bookmark[building]{B1} \bookmark[aisle]{A1} Sticker 1 Sticker 2 \page \bookmark[aisle]{A2} Sticker 3 Sticker 4 \page \bookmark[building]{B2} \bookmark[aisle]{A3} Sticker 5 Sticker 6 \stoptext But it didn't worked. I didn't get any error message but no bookmark either. How can I directly add a bookmark to the pdf table of contents ? Previously I was using the ReportLab toolkit which provided for this purpose the bookmarkPage and addOutlineEntry functions. Is there a similar solution with ConTeXt ?

font bug in latest beta?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hans, is it possible that the latest beta has a bug in font handling? As far as I can see, all the usual TeX ligatures etc. do not work: \setupbodyfont[times] \starttext 1--2 o'clock \stoptext would be a minimal example. All best Thomas

issue with \processaction
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \def\CheckUser{\cldcommand{sprint(tex.vrbcatcodes,os.resultof"whoami")}} \def\UserNumber{\processaction[\CheckUser][ousia=>1, unknown=>user unknown]} \starttext This is user \CheckUser\ with number \UserNumber. \stoptext which gives me the following output: This is user ousia with number user unknown. What am I doing wrong here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] in latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Dear list, I have the following sample that I cannot compile with latest beta: \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] \starttext Text\footnote{Text.}. \stoptext numberconversion=numerals seems to be the problematic part. Has this option been changed or is it a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

suppressing console output
by Lars Huttar 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello, I'm running context mkiv, version: 2013.05.28 00:36 (from the 2013 TeX Live CD). We're getting floods of output from context, including lots of Underfull hboxes, and the names of .tex files that are being opened and closed. This is all within a build script that does several other things besides running context. I'd like to suppress non-critical output from context so that other important output from the script doesn't get so easily lost. I'm already logging that output to a file, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of the console as well. I've tried the following command-line options to context, as suggested by context --help: --batchmode --silent --silent=typesetting --noconsole but none of these seem to have any effect on the output! I could just have the script discard stdout from context; I'm not sure how much of the output that would get rid of, but it may be good enough. However it's not ideal. (When an error occurs, as sometimes happens, I don't want the error message and its context to be hidden while the console waits for the user to respond blindly. I assume that would be on stderr anyway though...) Can anyone tell me how to suppress non-critical messages from context as it runs? Thanks, Lars

Index register page entry numbers missing
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

In the following example, page number entries in the index are not displayed when a blank line is inserted in the text, but do appear without that blank. This happens with both the current 20140316 standalone beta and with TL2013. (I noticed this constructing MWEs for other index register problems. It is likely not a problem in real life, but may provide insight into other issues.) \starttext Why do the entry page numbers disappear when a blank line follows this line, and reappear when the blank line is removed? (Current beta and TL2013.) \index{AA} \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik
