LMTX issue with multple question blocks
by Jan Willem Flamma 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

Dear list members, The below MWE runs fine and generates a usable PDF. If I uncomment the second question block and run the MWE on a OS X system it generates an unusable PDF and a nearly empty log file: open source > level 1, order 1, name 'cont-yes.mkiv' system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.28 18:57 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.11.7 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > level 2, order 2, name '/Users/JW/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv close source > level 2, order 2, name '/Users/JW/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > files > jobname 'co-intro', input './co-intro', result 'co-intro' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active system > synctex functionality is enabled, expect 5-10 pct runtime overhead! open source > level 2, order 3, name './co-intro.tex' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded open source > level 3, order 4, name 'knuth.tex' close source > level 3, order 4, name 'knuth.tex' I cannot reproduce the problem on a Windows system. Can somebody on an OS X system check and confirm the issue?

How to sort list of sections?
by Kerry Sainsbury 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

Hi Folks, If sections are just lists, and lists can be sorted, how can I sort a list of sections? My actual goal is to generate an 'index' that is made up of section headings. Here's my attempt that does not work. \setuphead[section][number=no ] % This was a guess at how I might be able to sort sections. I was wrong :-) \definesorting[section][sections] \setupsorting[sections][criterium=all] % I thought something like this might work too \definesorting[wahs] \definesorting[wah][wahs][\getmarking[section]][\getmarking[section]] \starttext placelist (not sorted, as you would expect): \placelist[section] \blank placelistofsorts (doesn't render anything. My guess was wrong) \placelistofsorts[wahs] Sections start here: \startsection[title={Beta}] Hello \startsection[title={Alpha}] World \stoptext Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it. Kerry

index with chapter and section numbers
by Otared Kavian 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

Hi, In a math text book, I would like to create an index of some material where chapter and section numbers are given instead of a page number. For instance if the result « 3.2.5 Banach Fixed Point Theorem » is stated in section 2 of chapter 3, and is the fifth numbered statement in that section, I would like to create a \myindex command so that adding the command \myindex{Banach Fixed Point Theorem} at that location, I get in the index created by \myindex a line such as Banach Fixed Point Theorem 3.2.5 Is this possible? Best regards and many thanks for any hint: OK

How to define the font size of the page header?
by Kerry Sainsbury 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

Hi Folks, Sorry for the constant interruptions, but I can't find an answer in any of the many PDFs or webpages I can find. How do I define the font size of the page header? If I'm not using a custom font, I can call \switchbodyfont prior to calling \setuplayouttext, which, if I'm honest, seems weird, but it doesn't work if I use a custom font. eg: \definefontfamily [dejavu] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] \definefontfamily [dejavu] [sans] [DejaVu Sans] % Uncomment this and the page header font size drops dramatically. % \setupbodyfont[dejavu] % This seems to define the size of the page header, if \setpbodyfont is not called. \switchtobodyfont[50pt] \setuplayouttext [header][text] [ style=small, middletext=Page Header, righttext=\pagenumber, rightstyle=bold ] \switchtobodyfont[8pt] \starttext \input ward.tex \stoptext I half expected the 'style' property to be involved in this, but I can't get that to do anything either :-( How do I define the font size in a page header defined using \setuplayouttext ? Thanks! Kerry

issue attaching remote files
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Hi Hans, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \attachment [file={https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/% ES/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:02010L0040-20180109}, name=one.pdf, color=orange] \attachment [file={https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/% ES/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52011DC0144R(02)}, name=two.pdf, color=magenta] \stopTEXpage \stoptext Because of the parentheses in the file address, the second file isn’t attached, due to the use of parentheses (sorry, but I cannot avoid this in their address). curl is also unable to download the second file unless an output name is specified (with --output or -o). Would it be possible that ConTeXt could handle the second address with parentheses to attach the file to a PDF document? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Formatting in the toc
by Calum MacLeod 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

In the body of document, I often have a heading such as this: \subject{{\bf Hymn 387} \hfill {\it The Lord's my Shepherd}} When it arrives in the Table of Contents, the bold and italic have been stripped off. My question is: How do I copy to ToC the formatting as well as the content of the text? I would be grateful for an answer, or to be pointed to where I could learn more. Thanks in advance, Calum MacLeod

Strange error with combination of itemization, footnote and \crlf

Hello, here is a minimal sample which doesn't compile: ---- \starttext \startitemize \item A\footnote{% B \startitemize \item C \stopitemize }\crlf D \item E % <<<< This sample compiles when this line is commented (?!) \stopitemize \stoptext ---- The error message is: " ... ...eta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-num.lua:465: attempt to index a nil value (local 'd') 2 \startitemize 3 \item 4 A\footnote{% 5 B 6 \startitemize 7 \item C 8 \stopitemize 9 }\crlf 10 D 11 12 >> \item E % <<<< This sample compiles when this line is commented 13 \stopitemize 14 \stoptext 15 " When the "\item E" is commented, the sample compiles successfully. ConTeXt version: "ConTeXt ver: 2019.10.11 15:47 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.10.16 int: english/english". Any idea what's going wrong? Best regards, Lukas

Bad cooperation between \unit and TABLE
by Tomas Hala 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

Hi all, I came across the problem with bad aligment of cells in natural tables (longer MWE below): When I use \unit for better typesetting of units, lines 6, 6a, 8 and 9 are sloppy-aligned -- first, the alignmentcharacter is ignored, secondly the very huge space appears between e.g. m and 2. It seems that it happens at any time when the exponent in any form is required. Moreover, the line 11 is also sloppy-aligned as a consequence of the use of \unit|\high commands because if the line 2a is active, the alignment position is computed properly and the line 11 is ok. Is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Best wishes, Tomáš \starttext \setupTABLE[c][2][alignmentcharacter={text->,}, aligncharacter=yes, align={lohi,middle}] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD Line \#1 \eTD \bTD39 \eTD \eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#2 \eTD \bTD 42,185 \eTD \eTR %\bTR\bTD Line \#2a \eTD \bTD 55 550,21 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#3 \eTD \bTD 41,85\,\% \eTD \eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#4 \eTD \bTD 1125,80 centimeter \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#5\eTD \bTD 1125,80 \unit{cm} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#6 \eTD \bTD 129,30 \unit{square centimeter} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#6a \eTD \bTD 129,30 \unit{m2} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#7 \eTD \bTD 129,30 \unit{m} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#8 \eTD \bTD 129,30 cm$^{\tfxx2}$\,\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#9 \eTD \bTD 0,21 m\high{2} \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#10 \eTD \bTD 41,85 \% \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#11 \eTD \bTD 55 550,21 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Line \#12 \eTD \bTD 0,21 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext
