page floats don’t work in columnsets
by Henning Hraban Ramm 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

I had no luck with page floats in columnsets; according to the manual they should work. Hraban \setuppapersize[A5,landscape] \useMPlibrary[dum] \definecolumnset[Two][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[Two] \dorecurse{5}{1\recurselevel\samplefile{lorem}\par} \startplacefigure[location=page,title={my caption}]% \externalfigure[dummy][width=2\textwidth,height=.95\textheight]% \stopplacefigure \dorecurse{5}{2\recurselevel\samplefile{lorem}\par} \stopcolumnset \stoptext

problems with comments
by Henning Hraban Ramm 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Hi, I wanted to use PDF comments to leave questions to the author/editor in the correction PDF. Unfortunately, the comment is always empty, regardless if \comment{} or \startcomment. Also, the comment always inserts space into the text, I’d like to avoid that; the option "space=no" doesn’t help. The "author" setting is shown, but as soon as I click on the comment, it changes to my user name. (Might depend on the viewer, but I get the same behavior from Adobe and Apple.) "title" and "subtitle" settings are handled differently by viewers, that doesn’t matter. "location=inmargin": the symbol is at the edge of the text, but not in the margin. Hraban \setupinteraction[ state=start, ] \setupcomment[ author=Don, location=inmargin, ] \starttext \samplefile{knuth} \comment[author=Me]{Here’s a comment.} \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext

units related to paper size
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Sep '23

Dear Hans, I wonder whether it would be possible to have both units for page width and page height (I guess, pw and ph would be fine). This would be similar to tw and th. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

streams reversed?
by jbf 17 Sep '23

17 Sep '23

I am making some progress with a bilingual text using the streams mechanism suggested by Wolfgang: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns, but see below. The aim has been to have en and vi on facing pages (en left, vi right). It works correctly for the Foreword in two languages (en, vi) in frontmatter. When I come to bodymatter and Chapter 1, again it works, except that the positions of the languages are reversed, so I end up with vi on the left and en on the right. By Chapter 2 we are back to the correct position once more (en left and vi right). I want to know why this is happening, and if I can prevent it happening. I am using the code you can see below, except that instead of \startoutputstream[one] and \startoutputstream[two] etc. I am using [en-front][vi-front], and then in bodymatter [en-chap1][vi-chap1] etc. etc. with the relevant repetitions of these identifiers where needed. I assume that to get a degree of synchronization I need to use this approach for each set of chapters. But I cannot understand why the languages alternate their starting page positions each chapter. There are other issues I have to solve, but first of all I wish to resolve this one. Julian The original (Wolfgang) code is as follows: \starttext \startoutputstream[one] \startcolor[red] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stopcolor \stopoutputstream \startoutputstream[two] \startcolor[green] \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stopcolor \stopoutputstream \synchronizestreams[one,two] \setbox\scratchboxone\outputstreambox[one] \setbox\scratchboxtwo\outputstreambox[two] \doloop {\ifvoid\scratchboxone \exitloop \else \setbox\scratchboxfour\vsplit\scratchboxone to\textheight \vbox to\vsize{\box\scratchboxfour\vss}% \setbox\scratchboxfive\vsplit\scratchboxtwo to\textheight \vbox to\vsize{\box\scratchboxfive\vss}% \fi} \stoptext
