[NTG-context] some difficulties with btxlist

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all (in particular Hans and Alan...),

I'm finishing a book project where I'm using the new bibliographic 
system. Everything is working as it should, but I have two problems with 
line breaks:


1. Page numbers in ranges are separated by an n-dash (as in: 234–567). 
It looks as though ConTeXt doesn't break lines at this n-dash. I'm sure 
there must be an easy way to tell TeX that this is a legitimate 
breakpoint (short of inserting some \penalty manually after every 
n-dash), but I can't figure it out myself.


2. For the bibliographic list, there remain some bad line breaks that 
cannot be avoided; for these cases, I have added 
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] and expected to see no lines 
extending into the margin (at the cost of some ugliness). But there are 
still some overfull lines. Does the list have its own tolerance setting 
somewhere?


Thanks, and best

Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] typebuffer different from typefile

[Meer, Hans van der]

The point is not that I am without options for a practical solution here. 
My point is that the difference between \typebuffer and \typefile breaks the 
strict and so much appreciated congruence between like macro calls.
Therefore my post must rather be seen as a plea to the maintainer(s) of these 
to consider a change in the given direction.

Hi Hans,

I wonder whether any of these two options may help you:

\setuptyping[buffer][style=\ttx]
\startbuffer[test]
content of buffer
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\typebuffer[test][style=\ss\red]
\typefile[style=\ttx\blue]{test.txt}
\stoptext

Again, just in case it might help,

Pablo

[NTG-context] font size inside a \typesetbuffer

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

\startbuffer[buffer:inside]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
\setupbodyfont[mainface, 17pt]
\starttext
\input zapf
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\typesetbuffer[buffer:inside]
\stoptext

The issue I’m experiencing is that no mainface is selected if the font
size is specified in \setupbodyfont.

Am I missing something or have I hit a bug?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

[NTG-context] typebuffer different from typefile

[dr. Hans van der Meer]

Why is there a difference in syntax between typing buffers and typing files?
For files enclosure in {} for buffers in [], for files optional parameters, for 
buffers not.
Is it possible to make the syntax of these two the same, because their usage 
parallels each other?

Example code:

\startbuffer[test]
content of buffer
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\typebuffer[test]
\typefile[style=\ttx]{test.txt}
\stoptext
