Re: [NTG-context] What’s your favorite command?
I'm with Mikael in that natural tables is one of the things that has made a real difference to my ConTeXting, and I no longer hesitate with adding tables to the my documents. My current favourite is probably \usemodule, especially \usemodule[simplefonts]. Being a Windows dummy and working mostly in a standard (M$) Office environment, the Simplefonts module has taken a lot of sweat out of coding. In my non-working life as a half-professional craftster and budding publisher I'm learning to enjoy playing around with \setuplayout; the learning curve is sometimes pretty steep, but it still beats fiddling with Word because once you get something right, it stays right. :-) Mari ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

one reason why I prefer ConTeXt’s coding style (especially with the recent

Not quite the same as \null:
\def\null {\hbox{}}
My (LaTeX) code used to always be riddled with \mbox{}
(somehow, I got into the habit of using this rather than \hbox{})
But this is not my favorite.
Believe it or not, I quite often make the error of typing '\startext'.
(Hans, don't think about adding this as a synonym - each time that I make this
mistake I am quite happy to get an error message... This is what I get for
typing and reading too fast!)
I do like unicode support.
However, what I like best about ConTeXt commands is consistency, where the
choice of syntax is constantly moving towards standardization. Often, when I
want to do something new, I just try what seems logical, using the very same
keywords as used elsewhere (when appropriate), and usually this just works!
Alan
P.S. I regret that ConTeXt and Mojca's \simplethesis command was not available
when I needed it!

Hey list,
I am trying to cite a definition typeset with a
\startdefinition[definition:foo] and \stopdefinition pair. I am doing
this by using a \in{definition}[definition:foo]. That works, but in
the text I just see linkable text definition.
I'd like it to be more descriptive of the physical location in the
book, e.g. foo in section 10.2. It was my impression according to the
manual that it was suppose to already do that, or am I not using \in
correctly?
The result of the \in command depends on the referenced object,
when you refer to a section or enumeration you get the number of
the section or enumeration but when you refer to something without
a number you get the stored text etc., e.g. \textreference[foo]{This is the
text!}
print “This is the text!”.
For enumerations, floats etc. you can use the section number as prefix for
the objects own counter but there is no way AFAIK to get way you described.

[NTG-context] GSUB init, medi, fina and .fea file
Hi there,
I have the following OpenType feature archive (intended to use diferent

languagesystem DFLT dflt ;
feature init {
sub uni03D0 by uni03B2 ;
sub uni03B8 by uni03D1 ;
sub uni03D5 by uni03C6 ;
} init ;
feature medi {
sub uni03B2 by uni03D0 ;
sub uni03D1 by uni03B8 ;
sub uni03C6 by uni03D5 ;
} medi ;
feature fina {
sub uni03B2 by uni03D0 ;
sub uni03D1 by uni03B8 ;
sub uni03C6 by uni03D5 ;
} fina ;
I use it with this file:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn,init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,featurefile={greeksubs.fea}]
\setmainfont[Theano Didot]
\starttext
βάρβαρος φιλοσοφία θεάσασθαι
\stoptext
But for some strange reason, even with this font I don't get the initial
theta (uni03D1) and middle .
If I change the font, add \agr to the text, change the script or remove
Latin for the default font feature, GSUB no longer work.
As far as I understand, the default rules should be independent from
script, language and font.
What am I missing here or doing simply wrong?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

This works fine, but I still have a problem if the text box spans
multiple pages because bottomoffset / topoffset seem to be ignored at
the points where the page breaks. The text just goes right to the edge
of the page top or bottom without any whitespace.
Do you have to use textbackground (assuming, of course, that you are using
MkIV)? Regular backgrounds take care of top and bottom offsets:
\definebackground
[whatever]
[topoffset=1cm,
bottomoffset=1cm,
frame=on]
\starttext
\input ward
\startwhatever
\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\stopwhatever
\input ward
\stoptext
The main advantage of textbackground is that they adapt to pararagraph
shapes (if you use things like \startplacefigure[location=left] ...
\stopplacefigure), and can be nested.

[NTG-context] Dubious checksum mismatch message on log file
Hello, please consider the following example: example file=ex8.tex \starttext \font\test=txr \test abs \stoptext /example I process this document with context (context --version - 2012.01.25) nothing suspecious in terminal output but in log file I see checksum mismatch, terminal $ grep 'checksum' ex8.log checksum mismatch in font txr.vf ignored /terminal Simple plain tex file example file=ex9.tex \font\test=txr \test abs \bye /example processed by luatex and pdftex engines (both from TeX Live 2011, I don't know how to generate formats for them in context suite) doesn't give same message. Is it a bug in font system of context? P.S. There is a thread on tex-live mailing list about checksum mismatch, I took a little investigation that reveals the source of problem: 'luaotfload', adaptation of context font system for latex world. As you can see from ex8.tex, current context have the same behaviour. I'm not fully sure if it is save to ignore this message (I read briefly about vf fonts here: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/virtual-fonts.knuth) but as both pdftex and luatex engines give nothing on plain example I want to report about this issue. -- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- That's the thing about people who think they hate computers.

[NTG-context] location=middle smashes the height
Hi,
Something has changed recently in how location=middle (and location=low)
work in frames. The height of the frame is \smash-ed in both cases.
Minimal example:
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\starttext
\input knuth
Some text \inframed[height=4cm]{\tfc IMPORTANT} \input ward
\startcombination[2]
{\externalfigure[dum][location=middle,width=3cm, height=5cm]}{a}
{\externalfigure[dum][location=middle,width=3cm, height=2cm]}{b}
\stopcombination
\stoptext
