[NTG-context] French letter style and date
Dear all,
I can't manage to get the date on a french letter style. I am using
ConTeXt ver: 2013.04.07 01:04 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.4.7 int: english/english
I also tried some older versions and with
ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.7.31 int: english/english
I get a date printed above the destination address. I also get a date with
other styles. Did anything change in the letter module between this two
versions?
Does anyone know how to get the date with the new version?
Here is my test file.
\usemodule[letter]
\useletterstyle[french]
\setupletter[
date={20 juin 2013},
toname={Jane Doe},
toaddress={24 rue des acacias\\63265 Trifoullis les Oies},
signature={John Doe},
opening={Mademoiselle,},
closing={Je vous prie de recevoir, Mademoiselle, mes meilleures
salutations.}
]
\setupletterlayer[reference][list={date}]
\startletter
\input knuth
\stopletter
Thank you for your help.

Re: [NTG-context] Failure building standalone
Hi Mojca, I agree with you fully. It was just a thought. The problem is most likely a bug in the port. I had figured that first-setup.sh should be run anyway using chmod should do the trick. In other words for cygwin first-setup.sh cleans up what has gone wrong during transfer. regards Keith.

When I use \setuppagesize[letter][letter] \copypages[...][n=2] \setuppagesize[draft][draft] I get the desired results, aside from the margins... the pages are imported into the pagelayout as defined by doublesided.

[NTG-context] counters identifying notes
Dear list,
I have the following code:
\definenumber[lnt]
\setupnote[linenote][paragraph=yes]
\def\variant#1#2{%
\startlinenote[0]{#1] #2}#1%
\stoplinenote[0]}
\starttext
\startlinenumbering
\variant{body text}{variant}
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext
And I would like to make \variant operative, so I thought I could
replace 0 with a counter, redefining it so:
\def\variant#1#2{%
\startlinenote[\getnumber[lnt]]{#1] #2}#1%
\stoplinenote[\getnumber[lnt]]%
\incrementnumber[lnt]}
But it doesn't work.
How could I make that \variant handles a different reference for the
linenote each time is invoked?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

[NTG-context] Using \setupinterlinespace with \setuparranging[XY], and more
Hello,
I am using Willi's MAPS 37 and the Example section from the \setuppaper
command:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuppaper
to print a set of labels, 2x6 configuration on U.S. Letter waterproof
label paper.
For the most part things are working well, but I have a number of questions:
1. A difference between MAPS 37 and wiki entry for \setuppaper is the
inclusion of the following line in the later:
\setuplayout[location=middle]
which seems to play a significant role. Otherwise, I cannot get the
labels to honour the topspace and backspace specified in the setuppaper
command. My question is why is this significant? What role does it
play? This can be tested by simply deleting the line in the MWE below.
2. I would like to have every label centered, i.e.,
\framed[alignment=center] should be set for all labels. However,
including it in the setupframedtexts command doesn't seem to have any
effect as shown in the MWE down below. Is there another way for all
labels to inherit this alignment setting?
3. I cannot get interlinespacing to affect the line spacing even though
the baselineskip variable is changed as shown in the MWE.
advTHANKSance.
EXAMPLE:
\definepapersize
[Label]
[width=4in,height=3.33in]
\setuppapersize[Label][letter,portrait]
\setuppaper
[topspace=0.4688in,
backspace=0.1875in,

\setupframedtexts
[width=\textwidth,
height=\textheight,

frame=off,
location=lohi,

Many thanks for your help,
1. Use came case for your own command names to avoid conflicts with core
commands.
2. Don’t use simple numbers as reference names.
3. You can’t use nested brackets which causes problems with the parser for the
arguments. What you have to do in this such a case is to hide the pair with
braces, e.g. [{[…]}].
4. ConTeXt has another counter mechanism which doesn’t has this problem.

[NTG-context] Auto selecting optical sizes for a font
Hello friends. I'm trying to design a book using the typescript you can find at the end of this message. I'm using the beautiful EBGaramond fonts from Georg Duffner (http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/). This font provides optical sizes to be used in different sizes (named 12 for 10.1pt or more, and 8 for 10 or less. These fonts automatically work as expected in latex, thanks to a recent package included in CTAN (ebgaramond package), selecting the correct font for the appropriate size. However, the typescript I'm using selects the 8 size for everything, without taking the type size into consideration. Is there any way to make ConTeXt do this automatic selection of fonts regarding of type size? I'm using version 2013.06.10 22:51.
