Wrong ConTeXt version?
by Otared Kavian 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hi, Running first-setup.sh in order to update to the latest ConTeXt gives me a wrong result: I get current version: 2013.04.20 01:15 while before updating I had current version: 2013.09.10 17:17 Are we going backward in time? :-) Best regards: OK

bidi

Hi, -- experimental fix for framed inline direction (at some point we will come up with a more precise description .. also, only use the already posted boxing macros, don't rely on low level box + dir spec as context keep a state of directions independently of tex) -- fix for marks on fonts like dejavumono that have fixed width glyphs (so also marks with widths but lacking positioning) .. beware: such fotns are monospaced so you get funny side effects with left/right spacing due to some characters not being centered in their wider-than-needed-as-fixed boundingbox .. also beware of bugs in mkmk (last night idris and i spend quit esome hours on nailing these issues down) -- there is something fuzzy with arial, also in ms toolchains, at different scales, etc etc ... anyhow, for testing best use a decent font, like arabtype, not arial -- not all complex bidi stuff will be solved in the bidi default methods, use method one or two if applicable -- some more things done Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Another small \underbar issue
by Pavneet Arora 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

I just noticed the recent issue brought up regarding \underbar, and wanted to mention a curiosity that I have come across. After "RE: " the underbar is contiguous. However, if we change it to "Re: " there is a break in the underbar. This seems independent of font selected, althought I have only tried it was gentiumalt, texgyreschola, texgyretermes. I was writing a business letter recently and used what I think is proper, "Re: ", for the subject line. It was only then that I came across this. Is there an explanation for this? On a slight tangent, what would be the best way to tighten up the space between the "\hl" or "\fillinline" alternative, and the name of the signatory? Thanks. MWE: \setuppapersize[letter] \setuplayout[header=0in,footer=0in,topspace=0.75in,height=9.5in,backspace=1.5in,width=5.5in] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[texgyretermes] \setupbodyfont[roman,12pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \ \blank[2in] 12 Sep 2013 \blank[big] Dear Sir/Madam, \blank[big] \startalignment[middle] \underbar{RE: Something important that I am writing about} \underbar{Re: Something important that I am writing about} \stopalignment \blank \input lorem \blank[1in] \hl[10] B.

Re: [NTG-context] Another small \underbar issue

Not much helping: I can confirm, that this bug is independent from font. One can easiliy go around with a protected space: \underbar{Re:~Something important that I am writing about} But still, it is a bug :) Huseyin

Bug in inframed
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

I found the following bug in \inframed, getting problems with inframing arabic words, try the following example \definefont[arab][name:arial*arabic at 18pt] \define[1]\awort{{\hbox{\setupalign[r2l]\arab#1}}} \starttext \awort{بِالصَّالِحِينَ}\blank \awort{\inframed{بِالصَّالِحِينَ}} \stoptext You see the difference: The inframed has right-shifted vocalizations. Is that easy to fix? Huseyin

EPUB XHTML Format
by Thangalin 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi, The attached t.tex file produces the attached t.xhtml file. I have looked at the following documents: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#Open_Publication_Structure_2.0.1 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTBook - http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPS_2.0.1_draft.htm - http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/doctype.html - http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/sections.html It seems that the macros in t.tex are being written out as XML elements, verbatim. It is my understanding that these XML elements, however, do not conform to the minimal content models associated with XHTML 1.1. What needs to happen to take a minimal ConTeXt file (such as the attached) to produce a minimum viable EPUB that: - Generates XHTML headers (including <!DOCTYPE and <html...>) - Produces images as img tags, rather than float tags. - Uses typical XHTML tags for <body> elements (e.g., <ol> for ordered lists). Ideally, I would like to do something such as: - context t.tex - mtxrun --script epub --make t.specification to generate an EPUB that passes validation of epubcheck<http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/wiki/Library>, with an output XHTML file that more closely matches the XHTML specification. How can I help? Kind regards.

brogue (OT) and a related question
by Peter Rolf 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi, starting with the off topic... A new Brogue (https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/) version shipped and I updated the table with the monster statistics. For all interested [your chance to stop reading here], the link to the final document (made with today's version). http://www.wuala.com/indiego/public/brogue/1.7.3/ Now to the question: I need to fill the table with some space to reach a specific dimension (the used background graphic makes this necessary). Currently I have to fiddle the dimension by hand. Is there a way to use a fixed TABLE height on each page (for a multi page table)? Or is there a way to calculate the remaining space on the page inside the TABLE? Peter

wrong behaviour with ConTeXt unicode bidi
by Vafa Khalighi 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hi The following document shows the wrong behaviour (the second parentheses is mirrored incorrectly and it should be after the number not before the number). Assuming "test" is an RTL word when I write (test 1363) I expect to get exactly that but somehow I get (test (1363 One related question: is it possible to change font automatically when luatex sees a LTR word? Thanks Vafa Khalighi
