\showsetup not working?
by Pablo Rodríguez 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Dear list, I think I have used once or twice in the past, but has \showsetup been deprecated? When I try to compile: \starttext \showsetup{language} \stoptext I get: ! Undefined control sequence. Is there a replacement for \showsetup. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

nasty crash
by Meer, H. van der 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

A nasty crash occurs with no helpful output in the log. It seems likely to arise from a complicated hbox, because the log ends abruptly in: \hbox(80.33+74.07002)x426.78 The output on the console isn't helpful either, I merely get: pages > flushing realpage 12, userpage 8 mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted This log message isn't closed with a newline. Of course I tried to construct a minimal example, but did not succeed. When I isolate the page where the execution crashes then no error occurs. It might be something in ConTeXt, but also something in luatex. Any idea how I can collect more information for trying to pinpoint the problem? Hans van der Meer

PdfXChange Viewer (slightly related to "Overriding pdfview")
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Hello, as I saw many pdf viewers being supported by "--autopdf=...", there is one more (my favourite; Windows) - basic version is free but powerful, fast, keeps last view for each document; allows auto-reopen lately opened docs; enables copy-to-clipboard (text/image); annotations; allows simply open the document with all other installed pdf viewers; bookmarks; page thums; layers; attached files; many printing opts including n x m pages per sheet; ... http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer It might be good to support this viewer, too, for completeness. Command line options (copied form the manual): " Command Line option The PDF-XChange Viewer may be started with a PDF file or URL name as the first item on the command line. This facilitates starting the Viewer in File Associations or using Windows ShellExecute. The form of the command line for using this option is: PDFXCview.exe [command] [filename1] [[filename2] [… [filenameN]]] Where command can be one of the following commands: /A "param=value [&param2=value [&...]" /close[:save|discard|ask] /print[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&printer=<printername>][&pages=<pagesrange>]] /printto[:[default=yes|no][&showui=yes|no][&pages=<pagesrange>]] <printername> /exportp <setting_file_name> /importp <setting_file_name> /RegServer /UnregServer /usep <setting_file_name> " Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview

Exactly what I was thinking: pavneet@darjiling:~$ more .mailcap application/pdf; evince %s I like evince because it also doesn't lock the PDF file, and auto-refreshes the view when updated. It also has/can have a space efficient toolbar structure, which works great on my little netbook: Asus EEE 701 running Bodhi Linux off an SD card---my favourite writing environment by far. So no wrapper needed except for first invocation which puts evince in the background. My own work environment is a bit like an old-school IDE: - tmux with side-by-side panes for vim editing and document compilation. - different tmux "windows" for different documents being worked on. - evince on one of the adjacent workspace to preview. <CTRL><ALT><RIGHT|LEFT> to quickly switch back and forth from edit-compile to test workspaces. > Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:25:06 -0400 (EDT) > From: Aditya Mahajan <adityam(a)umich.edu> > To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> > Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview > Message-ID: > <alpine.LNX.2.02.1306271320220.24744(a)ybpnyubfg.ybpnyqbznva> > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > Or, simple read the mailcap preference or use a program such as > run-mailcap or see which choose the viewer based on mailcap > preferences. > > I am half joking here; don't go down this route.

Possible bug with new \start ... \stop way for title, chapter, subject, etc.?
by Andres Conrado Montoya 29 Jun '13

29 Jun '13

I was trying to implement the solution provided by this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg51152.html and it works very well. However, finding a problem related to this implementation, I found that the output of the new \start ... \stop versions of the title, section, chapter, subject, etc. commands is different from the old \title, \chapter, \subject, etc. As you can see in the following MWE, the new implementation indents the first paragraph of the given section, by some amount (even different from the default for paragraphs). Is this a bug or a new feature that I don't understand? mtx-context | current version: 2013.06.10 22:51 %******** START MWE **********% \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,center}] \showgrid \setupindenting[yes,big,next] \usemodule[lettrine] \define[2]\SectionCommand {\inoutermargin{#2}} \setuphead [title,subject] [page=no, alternative=text, command=\SectionCommand, distance=0pt, style={\tf\sc}, before={\blank[line]}] \starttext \title{Knuth} With title: \input knuth\par \starttitle[title={Tufte}] With starttitle: \input tufte\par \stoptitle \subject{Knuth} With subject: \input knuth\par \startsubject[title={Tufte}] With startsubject: \input tufte\par \stopsubject \stoptext %******** STOP MWE ************%

french character spacing in footnotes
by Alan Bowen 28 Jun '13

The following code has the right character spacing spacing in the body text but not in the footnote. \startcomponent Test \mainlanguage[fr] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] Le début est lacunaire; le début est lacunaire: le début est lacunaire. Est-ce que le début est lacunaire? \quote{Il n’y a pas de titre final}?% \footnote{Le début est lacunaire; le début est lacunaire: le début est lacunaire. Est-ce que le début est lacunaire? \quote{Il n’y a pas de titre final}?} \stopcomponent I am running the latest standalone. Any suggestions? Alan

Cloze Text (text with gaps)
by Christian Prim 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi list I wonder if I can typeset a cloze text using context. The gaps (__________) must have a given length (say in cm or the length of a given word, given sentence) and must break at the end of a line. \hl[4] is nice but won't do the trick since it won't break. \fillinline and others fill the hole line, but I only want to fill a given size. Are there some ideas how to deal with it? Example: The name of the _____________ is _____ ________. And now it's time to go to bed. Some more text..... Hope you get the point. Thanks in advance Christian PS.: For Latex there is a package: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/79689/control-ulines-for-cloze-text

Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview

Hi All, I have been following this thread with some amusement. There is no real optimal answer to this question short of developing a dedicated pdfviewer for ConTeXt. But, is this the best use of our resources. Furthermore, how about a dedicated editor? ;-)) (just joking, but I am sure somebody would come with the idea eventually, once we start down this path) As a Mac user, and one that shys away from using X. I use TeXShop. TeXShop has a multiplatform counterpart TeXWorks, distributed with TeXLive. It has a integrated pdf viewer with SyncTeX functionality. Its pdf viewer is based on Poppler. How good it is I can not say. But, it should not be two hard to extract it and turn it into a standalone. I think it could work as an adequate viewer. If someone then needs to use something better they can write the scripts they need themselves. Maybe, the TeXWorks guys could help. regards Keith
