Hi Hans, With the latest betas (version 2013.01.23 14:45 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.23) \widehat and \widetilde do not work anymore in mkiv (no matter the font): minimal example %%%% begin bug-tilde.tex \starttext ${\widetilde V}$ ${\tilde u}$ ${\widehat \phi}$ ${\hat \alpha}$ \stoptext %%%% end bug-tilde.tex For your information, the same file works fine in mkii.

publication list: bounding box problems
by Andreas Mang 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hi there, I am fine tuning my doc. I have problems with the publication list, as some of the publications extend to the margin of my document. I have not been able to find a solution. This is probably a very common issue. I assume some of you had/have the same problem. Is there a quick way to fix this? This is quite urgent (picture attached). Cheers Andreas [cid:633B7855-1447-4534-9F43-580B58659B88@uzl-wlan.uni-luebeck.de]

Paragraph indentation after float
by Marco Patzer 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi, sometimes I get a paragraph indentation after a float and sometimes I don't. Example: \ctxlua{structures.lists.autoreorder = true} \setupindenting [yes, medium] \setupfloats [default=auto] \starttext \startchapter [title=Foo] \startplacefigure \externalfigure [cow] %% [height=21cm] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure \externalfigure [cow] [height=11cm] \stopplacefigure \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext Why does this chapter start with an indentation? I always avoid placing floats at the beginning of sections, since I can never predict what will happen. If the first float is moved to the second page (uncomment height=21cm) the indentation vanishes. Why? Is there a reliable way to place floats at the beginning of sections and ensure that the following paragraph will not be indented? Marco

Equivalent commands for \big \Big etc. in mathmode
by Devendra Ghate 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

If I want to say that dy/dx is calculated at z then in latex I can write \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_z The \Big is to scale | according to the size of the \frac. I am using newmat and amsl modules that have supported the native math mode commands till now. But context does not recognise \Big. What is the native context way of doing this? Regards, Devendra MWE (in case its needed)----------- \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[amsl] \starttext \startformula \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_z \stopformula \stoptext

Prioritise TEXMFHOME
by Marco Patzer 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi, can I somehow set up that files within TEXMFHOME are preferred to files found in the distribution? Or is there another variable which is more suitable than TEXMFHOME for this purpose? Marco

Bug in reference to sections
by Otared Kavian 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hi Hans, I noticed that with the latest mkiv (version 2013.01.22 18:33 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.22) when the sections have no numbers two « ! » are printed and this behavior is new: with previous versions when invoking for instance \in{other section}[sec:other] there used to be a link to the "other section" and no « ! ! ». I understand that there has been a change in this behavior, but is there a way to suppress the two « ! ! »? Here is a minimal example: %%%% begin bug-reference.tex \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuphead[section][number=no] \starttext \section{First Section} \input knuth.tex See the \in{other section}[sec:other] below. \page \section[sec:other]{\bf Second Section} Here is another section. \input ward.tex \setuphead[section][number=yes] \section{Third Section} \input knuth.tex See the \in{other section}[sec:other-2] below. \page \section[sec:other-2]{\bf Fourth Section} Here another section. \input ward.tex \stoptext %%%% end bug-reference.tex Best regards: OK
