new footnotes
by Honza Hejzl 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hello, I have tested those „new“ commands for footnotes and it seems some of them don't work properly. I like footnotes' numbers aligned to the left side of the main text. On wiki is: \setupnotation[footnote][location=left,width=1cm] \setupnote[footnote][location=page,numbercommand=] This simply does not work. I have combined location, alternative and page parameter in both commands, \setupnotation as well as \setupnote, nothing works now for me. The second bad thing is it ignores my numbercommands. It was easy to use it before when I needed numbers as not-indexed or in case I have whole notes and numbers as sans. In source for mkiv I see: \setupnotes [\c!location=\v!page, ... but simple \setupnotes[location=page] does nothing. Is the work still in progress or am I missing something? Thanks, Honza

The otf now loads. The sample document for the new fonts was typeset with LaTeX and Hans missed the new typescript/typeface names in his announcement. Wolfgang

footnotes setup
by Honza Hejzl 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi, I have installed the last standalone version from contextgarden and oops, my (few days) old file does not work properly. My "old" setup of footnotes was like: \setupfootnotedefinition[loaction=page...] \setupfootnotes[bodyfontsize=8pt, style=\ss...] Now the context does not understand to that. So I am trying to set up footnotes with \setupnote[footnote] but it seems nothing works. I am not able to use location=serried, location=page, style and so on... Is it connected with some general update? :o( Thanks, Honza

indexing query
by Alan Bowen 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Sorry: My effort escaped without a subject line. In placing the heads and subheads of indices, \index defaults to Head locator Head subhead locator I need to get the subhead without repeating the Head, as in Head locator subhead locator How can I do this? Is there some documentation on this that I can read? Alan

\placeinitial or texbackground bug (interference)
by Alan Braslau 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

It took me quite a while to hunt this down... The use of a text background breaks \placeinitial. I do not have a patch, but at least can provide a minimal example: \definetextbackground [SetOff] [location=paragraph] \starttext \placeinitial \input tufte \startSetOff \input ward \stopSetOff \stoptext

is it possible to have first and last line numbers from page?
by Pablo Rodríguez 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

I have asked this question before (more than twice), after I found no answer in the ConTeXt reference manual, the wiki or the mailing list. I wanted to be able to have in the headers the first and last line number from page. This feature is extremely useful when typesetting some kinds of poetry. The most basic sample would be: \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par\input knuth} \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Is that possible to achieve with ConTeXt? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Context getting in a loop?
by Willi Egger 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Dear all, Yesterday I updated my OSX to Lion. - Now I try to compile a project (Hufbeschlag). I can compile all components (some 20) individually without any problem. When trying to do the whole project context seems to run into a loop. Has anyone else encountered such a problem? Any hint would be appreciated! Kind regards Willi mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/Applications/lua-experimental/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/formats/cont-en" --lua="/Applications/lua-experimental/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "/Users/willi/Documents/TEXdata/Hufbeschlag/hufbeschlag.tex" \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051908 (rev 4277) \write18 enabled.

hbadness crippled?
by Meer, H. van der 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Setting the distance parameter for item list to something greater than zero: \setupitemgroup[itemize][each][joinedup,packed][distance=3pt] generates in item lists overfull boxes: Overfull \hbox (3.0pt too wide). (1) At the time I teached programming we always learned students "Silence the compiler". Allthough this message does no harm (only annoying me), I wonder why is it appearing? Setting distance seems quite normal. The extra space is exactly the added distance (confirmed by varying its size.) (2) TeX used to keep silent on these messages when one set \hbadness=10000. But that does not work for me. Not even putting it right in front of \startitem content\stopitem, makes the warning go away. Is there a solution? Hans van der Meer

walking xmltree?
by Meer, H. van der 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Is there a single macro/setup that walks the xml-tree, visiting each node? Either in preorder, inorder or postorder? Thus instead of: \xmlfilter{#1}{./command(xml:thecommand)} \xmlfilter{#1}{./*/command(xml:thecommand)} \xmlfilter{#1}{./*/*/command(xml:thecommand)} \xmlfilter{#1}{./*/*/command(xml:thecommand)} \xmlfilter{#1}{./*/*/*/command(xml:thecommand)} etc. doing this exhaustively with a single \xmlfiltertree{#1}{./command(xml:thecommand)} Hans van der Meer
