external figure not functioning propertly for jpg
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 12 May '14

12 May '14

externalfigure only works properly with pdf files (I tried with .gif and .jpg files). The jpg file with the frame=on showed a one page blank huge frame and no image. Used: the MKIV engine / ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 I should think that "external figure should work with jpg for sure. Minimal example using a jpeg file having a 65 x 72 pixels image -------------------------------- \starttext \externalfigure[dainienzan-logo.pdf] % This works no problem \externalfigure[dainienzan-logo.jpg][frame=on] % Big empty frame and no image \externalfigure[dainienzan-logo.jpg][width=2cm] % Specifhing a width makes it work \stoptext % but it should work without width=x -------------------------------- Note: this works as is with a pdf image. Why doesn't it for a jpg file?

Two coexisting number conversions (in headers and in texts)
by Maggyero 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hello, How can I achieve this chapter numbering? — page 1: I My chapter (header) ----------------- First My chapter (text) — page 2: II My chapter (header) ------------------ II My chapter (text) That is to say having every chapter number in roman numeral except the first one but only in the text (not in the header). For the moment I can achieve only the chapter numbering for the text but not for the header: \define[1]{\myconversion}{\ifcase #1\relax \or First\else \convertnumber{Romannumerals}{#1}\fi} \defineconversion[myconversion][\myconversion] \setuphead[chapter][conversion=myconversion] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber]\quad\getmarking[chapter]}] \starttext \startchapter[title=My chapter] \stopchapter \startchapter[title=My chapter] \stopchapter \stoptext Best regards.

workaround for another too-low symbol in Pagella?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 10 May '14

10 May '14

Here's another math symbol that I think is too low: the vertical bar in Palatino/Pagella. Here's an almost-minimal example. I've left in the surrounding text, to show how it's used (in probability, as P(H|E)). I think the bottom of the bar is correct, but the tip of the bar doesn't reach to the top of the H or E. \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \placeformula\startformula \text{P}( H\,|\, E ) \stopformula \stoptext Again, I don't think it's a ConTeXt problem, but rather a Pagella problem. But is there a recommended ConTeXt workaround? Maybe a metafun symbol? -Sanjoy

8th ConTeXt Meeting, Bassenge-Boirs, Belgium
by Taco Hoekwater 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hello to everybody! We are glad to announce the registration for the 8th International Context Meeting is now open. http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014 Early-bird registration is available until June 30, 2014, and this year for the first time, we also have a special discount for first-time attendees. We are making a return visit to Jan @ 't Sjetootje, the same place where we had our fifth meeting in 2011. Those of you that were present will remember that our host Jan was constantly busy cooking wonderful food for us. To celebrate our return visit, the theme for this year's meeting is: ConTeXt Cookery which means that we are planning for talks and tutorials on both culinary and programming recipes and / or cookbooks. Jan has already promised to take care of a hands-on culinary workshop :) Further, we can promise a working internet connection, and also that there will not be any completely underground full day excursions. As it happens, Bassenge-Boirs is also the birth place of the official ConTeXt Group, so in a way we are going back to our "roots". Even if you cannot join us for the meeting, please consider becoming a member (if you are not already). The meeting proceedings are going to be published as the next issue of the Context Group journal, but there are more advantages to membership. See http://group.contextgarden.net/ for more information about the ConTeXt Group. We are looking forward to meeting you in Bassenge, Best regards, Taco Hoekwater on behalf of the organizing committee http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014

Continuous Item Numbering throughout an Entire Document
by Dr Malte Stien 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi all, I have a rather long document listing a number of items, which I need to be numbered continuously throughout the entire document. The following approach appears to work well, except that the numbering restarts at the beginning of every chapter. Is there a way that can be avoided? \startitemize[n] \item bar \item faz \stopitemize[n] \startitemize[n, continue] \item foo \item bla \stopitemize[n] Thank you, Malte.

\placeinitial query
by Alan Bowen 07 May '14

In the following: \definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][IFAO Grec Unicode] [range={02BB-1D513}] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Tex Gyre Termes][] \setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt] \defineinitial[Greek] [location=margin, font={Regular sa 3}, n=2, distance=-1em, hoffset=1.25em] \starttext \placeinitial[Greek]Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου Διὰ τί του ἡλίου \blank \placeinitial[Greek]Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου Ⲇιὰ τί του ἡλίου \stoptext the first \placeinitial works but the second does not. I can get both if I make IFAO Grec the main font and Termes the fallback. But then I will lose italics and so forth. Are there some keys or values that I have missed? Alan
