Small caps from otf in luatex.
by john Culleton 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

I have asked everywhere else to no avail. In (plain) luatex how do I specify the small cap version of an otf font? I use context for non-fiction but pdftex and now luatex for fiction. -- John Culleton

Hyphen as separator for formulas
by Thomas Kreuzer 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Hello everyone, I am using mkiv, and my qestion is: Is it possible to have a hyphen instead of a dot as a separator for formula references? I can achieve it by using \definestructureseparatorset[default][][-] but this changes all separators in my document (including section headers etc.). The command isn't referenced in the wiki, so I am at a loss if this is even possible, and how to achieve it. And \setupformulas[separator={-}] seems to have no effect at all. Thanks in advance!

\typesetbuffer at wiki
by Pablo Rodríguez 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Dear list, I have just created http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/typesetbuffer. In the typeset sample, it seems that \typesetbuffer doesn’t work at the wiki (it doesn’t include the image). Am I missing something here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

issue with \stoplinenote
by Pablo Rodríguez 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Dear Hans, the following sample shows an already described issue with linenotes: \mainlanguage[es] \setuppapersize[A7] \starttext \startlinenumbering \startlinenote[MRU]{{\em om.} X}En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor.\stoplinenote[MRU] \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Last word in body doesn’t get hyphenated. I know that this is something related to references. But in the meantime: wouldn’t it be possible that \stoplinenote internally includes a \prewordbreak command? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

include two pages from typesetbuffer
by Pablo Rodríguez 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Dear list, I would like to be able to include the first two pages of a typeset buffer (included with \typesetbuffer[sample][frame=on]). Is there any way to do this? I’d like to avoid to save the buffer to a file. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Minor date formatting issue
by Matt Gushee 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Hello, all-- I am experimenting with the \currentdate command. I am finding that \currentdate [weekday,{,~},month,day+,{,~},year] which should work according to the Wiki, produces: Thursday, Augustday+, 2013 This command: \currentdate [weekday,{,~},month,day,{,~},year] works as expected. I also tried \date [][weekday,{,~},month,day+,{,~},year] but that produced the same result as above. I have a recent stable release of the standalone ConTeXt package from the Garden. Is there a new way to format a date with an ordinal indicator (-st, -nd, -rd, -th), or is that just not working at the moment? Please advise. -- Matt Gushee

ConTeXt, XeTeX, special effects in Indic font for Kannada
by Robert Zydenbos 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

On my Mac (Mountain Lion) I would like to use ConTeXt with a complex OpenType font named Kedage for the Indian language Kannada, and I thought that I could do this using XeTeX (because LuaTeX seems unable to handle Indic fonts at present). This freely available font (found on Linux systems, for instance) comes in four files: Kedage-n.TTF, Kedage-b.TTF, Kedage-i.TTF, Kedage-t.TTF (normal, bold, italic and bolditalic, respectively). I have been partly successful with the simple command \definefontsynonym[kan][name:Kedage] and then using \definedfont[kan] where I want to have the font in the text. Also \font\kannada="Kedage" (and \kannada later in the text) seems to work well without any further indications of language, script etc. However, I would also like to use the bold, italic and bolditalic forms of the font. Simply using \bold and \em does not work. Here I see two possibilities: (1) use the XeTeX parameters FakeSlant and FakeBold, which I have done in LaTeX. But I do not know how this is done in ConTeXt. (2) use the other font files (Kedage-b.TTF etc.), and again I do not know how to do this. Can anybody help me out, either way? (I have attached a sample.) Robert

simplefonts doesn’t select the font
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startbuffer[testbuffer] \setuppapersize[A7] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=10.5pt] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext This isn’t \TeX\ Gyre Pagella. \stoptext \stopbuffer \typesetbuffer[testbuffer] \stoptext Only with decimal font sizes, simplefonts (and probably the standard font mechanism [which I don’t know how to use it]) isn’t able to select the font in the buffer. I guess this might be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

unwanted extra interline space in typing environment
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Dear list, I have a document (http://ediciones-criticas.tk/pdf/criticas-context.pdf) which is shows a weird issue: some typing lines have an extra interline space added. It can be found on the first code samples on pages 11 and 12 from the above-mentioned document (sorry, but I have no other way to recreate the issue). My configuration is the following: \setuptyping[margin=yes,lines=yes,blank=line,space=on] How can avoid the unwanted extra interline space in the typing environment? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Feature-Request: Sort bibliography entries in alphabetical order by the entries' “short” value
by Michael Scholtz 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hi, the publication list can be configured with `\setuppublications` to be sorted by cite order (`sorttype=cite`) or the order of the publication entries (`sorttype=bbl`). With the following setup the "short names" of the publication entries are used for cite references: \setuppublications[ criterium=text, sorttype=cite, % <– "short"? refcommand=short, numbering=short, ... ] The short names are set using the `s` attribute: \startpublication[ s={RFC2616}, ... ] ... \stoppublication A cite with this setup would look like "[RFC2616]". In a long bibliography list it is useful if the entries are sorted in alphabetical order by these short names to allow a faster lookup of publications. Currently I'm using the "filter" module and a Tcl script to sort the publication entries ( http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/126939/7074 ), but it might be useful if something like a `sorttype=short` option would be added. Regards, Michael
