Re: [NTG-context] columnsets error in 2.08 beta
Columnset error is gone in 2.16 beta -- Thanks, Hans.
But there still seems to be a problem in the output routine:
if I place a font switch like \bf or \ss at the beginning of a
paragraph that falls in the first column of my columnset, that column
is suppressed and only the second column is typeset.
If the switch is in the second column, both columns are output, but
there is extra vertical space at the beginning of the first column.

[NTG-context] Details.pdf -- how current?
Given that ConTeXt has been under development for 10 years since the
Details manual was written, can someone tell me how much of the
material in is still applicable to recent betas? The examples use
parameters that are not documented on the wiki, such as inner
(\setupfloat) in this example on p.61:
\setupfloat
[edgefigure]
[default={inner,height,high,low,none},
maxwidth=4cm,

[NTG-context] Graphics positioning problems in current/recent betas
I have been studying the Details manual and have found that many of
the examples presented there do not work correctly with the current or
recent betas. The ones I have tested work correctly on texshow and
with the Texlive 2011 (MkIV Luatex) version.
1. In the first example below (based on Details p. 25), note that the
graphic is positioned very high relative to the paragraph, although
vertical space appears to be reserved correctly:
%% start --%%
\starttext
\setupfloat[figure]
[sidespacebefore=none,sidespaceafter=none,sidealign=depth]
\input tufte\par
\placefigure[inner,none]{caption}{\framed[height=3cm]{graphic}}
\input tufte\par
\stoptext
%% stop ---%%
2. Figure position in the second example below (Details p.65) is
similar, but an empty box is placed instead of the figure:
%% -- start - %%
\starttext
\showboxes
\definelayer[text-1][position=yes]
\defineanchor[rightbottom][text-1][location=lt,hoffset=max,voffset=max]
\definefloat[myfigure][figure]
\setupfloat[myfigure][sidespaceafter=,sidespacebefore=]
\defineanchor[rightbottom][text-1][location=lt,hoffset=max,voffset=max]
\input tufte\par
\placemyfigure
[left,none]
{}
{\anchor[rightbottom]
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=5cm,frame=on]}}

First-page layout is an issue that I have asked about before, but

thread:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111228.041922.c60f9cd5.en.html.
I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with
different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and
a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on
Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct.
However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the
document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and
\definelayout[1].
Is MkIV a option for you? The problem had been there for a while as well but
now it’s fixed
you can decide what ConTeXt should do after the first page.
With the “state” you can control whether the layout at the second page
should be switched
back to the global layout with \definelayout[…][state=start] (this is the
default setting) or
it should remain with \definelayout[…][state=repeat].
\definelayout
[first]
[width=middle,
backspace=15mm,
topspace=10mm,
height=254mm,
header=0mm, % no header
headerdistance=0mm,
footer=25mm, % big footer
footerdistance=5mm,
grid=yes]
You have to set only what’s different from the global layout.
\definelayout
[first]
[header=0mm,
headerdistance=0mm,

Wolfgang and Wagner, thank you for taking the time to respond to this.
I am using MkIV. I just updated to the latest beta (I had been running
one beta behind). I was intentionally not using layout inheritance in
my \definelayout commands to eliminate the possibility of a problem in
the inheritance mechanism.
Interaction with columnsets also seems to be part of the problem, as I
will try to explain.
1. In a layout with no columnset: \definelayout[first] creates a
unique layout for the first page and returns to the default layout on
page 2. BUT from page 3 onwards, the text does not go all the way to
the bottom of the text area (although \showframe indicates that the
text area is correct). A workaround is to add
\definelayout[current][...parameters that undo the first-page
parameters...].
2. In a layout with a columnset
(\definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes]): use of
\definelayout[first] causes failure with the error message below.
Ignoring warnings and forcing Context to continue results in a pdf
with \showframe lines drawn correctly, but text not filling the whole
column height, as described previously.

Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2
Wagner,
Thanks for pointing this out, it works:
\definelayout
[1]
[first page layout...]
\definelayout
[2]
[reset] % call for a reset when the second page is reached
\setuplayout
[default layout...]
But the question of why \definelayout[first] does not work correctly
remains. Perhaps the developers will look into it.

Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2
Oh crap, I thought Wagner's solution worked but it doesn't -- quite.
\showframe indicates that the page areas are defined correctly, and
the footer frame on page 2 and later is the correct size. But Context
is not filling the text columns all the way to the bottom; The body
text is still stopping short as though the larger footer was still in
effect.
Frustrating.

Wolfgang and Wagner, thank you for taking the time to respond to this.
I am using MkIV. I just updated to the latest beta (I had been running
one beta behind). I was intentionally not using layout inheritance in
my \definelayout commands to eliminate the possibility of a problem in
the inheritance mechanism.
Interaction with columnsets also seems to be part of the problem, as I
will try to explain.
1. In a layout with no columnset: \definelayout[first] creates a
unique layout for the first page and returns to the default layout on
page 2. BUT from page 3 onwards, the text does not go all the way to
the bottom of the text area (although \showframe indicates that the
text area is correct). A workaround is to add
\definelayout[current][...parameters that undo the first-page
parameters...].
2. In a layout with a columnset
(\definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes]): use of
\definelayout[first] causes failure with the error message below.
Ignoring warnings and forcing Context to continue results in a pdf
with \showframe lines drawn correctly, but text not filling the whole
column height, as described previously.

More testing with the old columns mechanism instead of columnset:
\startcolumns[n=2] produces roughly the same result as no columns, the
text stops short of the bottom of the page. However, the
\definelayout[current] workaround I mentioned does not solve the
problem in this case.
I'm quite willing to abandon the columnset mechanism if I can get a
working solution with columns.

[NTG-context] Footnote marker inside custom list environment - font problem
Hello,
Maybe this is related to the problems with \definenote posted
recently...I have played with setups but have been unable to figure
this one out.
I have a custom enumeration environment to display the names of
journal authors in a paragraph format, with local footnotes for their
affiliations. Since updating, it no longer works as expected; the
footnote markers after author names use the document roman font
instead of the sans font.
Also, if I use this inside a \startnarrower...\stopnarrower block, the
environment extends past where it should stop, which didn't happen
before.

It was \setupnote and this problem is fixed.

footnote markers after author names use the document roman font

You have to use the textstyle key, the value of the style is only used
when nothing is set for the headstyle or textstyle keys but textstyle
already has a different value.
Also, if I use this inside a \startnarrower...\stopnarrower block, the
environment extends past where it should stop, which didn't happen
before.
Can you show a example.
Wolfgang
Thank you, that textcommand parameter was the missing piece.
I will try to put together a minimal example of the width thing, but
this document setup is getting complicated now so I should see if it
can be refactored first to be simpler.
I have another related command that is not working now -- I defined
this little macro for convenience so that I could reuse the a single
affiliation for multiple authors after I had used it once.
\def\useaffiliation#1{\high{\note[#1]}}
Now, it inserts the numbers correctly but they are in the wrong font
-- everything else is in sans, they are in document roman. Oddly, if I
just use \note[] without the \high{}, the note numbers are in the
correct font.

[NTG-context] \note does not preserve formatting -- example
After updating to the current beta, I discovered that the \note macro
does not format the note marker correctly.
In the minimal example below, I define an item group for a
paragraph-formatted list of article authors, and an affiliation note
for a paragraph-formatted list of affiliations below them. (This is
fairly common in academic journals; I have left out most of the text
formatting.)
The note marks for the third and fourth authors (Jones and Mandrell),
which are created using the \note macro to reference previous
affiliations, are too small and not bold.
I would guess this is related to changes around line 122 of
strc-not.mkiv, dealing with the handling of note attributes (see:
\def\usenotestyleandcolor).

Re: [NTG-context] SciTE configuration to use mkiv instead of mkii
Thanks for your responses. I should have specified that I am using Linux (Ubuntu). I don't have any previous SciTE configuration files in my home directory. I used the instructions from contextgarden and scite-context-readme.pdf, including creating a launch script that sets the PATH to include my context standalone binary. What I don't understand now is that SciTE finds the correct standalone binary but uses texexec to run mkii instead of mkiv as is supposed to be the defuault: ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.31 15:44 MKII and calls an old pdftex from a separate TexLive installation: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) Any suggestions?

Re: [NTG-context] Header/footer fonts problem in 20 DEC 2011 beta
Thank you, Hans. Can you tell me a better way to do the header rule than \hairline? I was using \setupbackgrounds[header][bottomframe=on] but I wanted to have an empty header (with vertical header space and no bottomframe) on the first page and I could not figure out how to turn off the frame on that page only. I suppose I could use header=high and define a different layout for the first page... but if there is a better way to do a rule that would be handy.

Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout
Update with a minimal working example.
If a layout is specified for the first page
(\definelayout[first][...=...], that specification is carried on
through all subsequent pages; the layout does not return to the
default specified with \setuplayout[...=...] on the second page.
If a layout is specified for a single later page
(\definelayout[3][...=...]), that specification is carried on too. In
the case of header/footer size, the body text overruns the footer area
on subsequent pages. In the case of backspace (text width), the first
paragraph on the page with the new layout is the default layout width
but the rest are OK. (I have seen this width issue mentioned before
and it may not be possible to change this behavior, but the
header/footer size is a problem for me.)
Thanks.

Hans changed part of the \setuplayout code in the last betas (there are
more than you can see in the ctx suite).
When context checks the layout (happens with \starttext and when it starts
a new page) it test for the following defined layouts:
• “pagenumber”
• “-pagenumber”
• “last” (is only used for the last page of the document)
• “first” (is only used for the first page of the document)
• “unknown”
• “current”
• “odd” and “even” (used for left and right pages)
All entries in this list are reserved names but you can also define your
own layout but in this case
you have to enable it with \setuplayout[name].
One of the new features in MkIV is that layout parameters can be inherited,
e.g. when
you define a layout with the name “one” {\definelayout[one][..,..=..,..])
and another one with
the name two (\definelayout[two][one][..,..=..,..]) this will take the
values from one of there

one the global
values are used (\setuplayout[..,..=..,..]).
Hi Wolfgang,
I modified the example (hopefully in a meaningful manner). I get the desired
output with the old beta, but it still fails with todays beta.

Re: [NTG-context] Header bottomframe on first page of document
Hraban, So why don’t you simply set the rulecolor to something invisible on the first occurrence? That sounds good, but I don't know how to do it. I'm new to ConTeXt and figuring this stuff out as I go. Maybe you want to use the frontmatter section for your title page setup. The title is not on a separate title page; the body of the document follows after the title.

[NTG-context] Header/footer fonts problem in 20 DEC 2011 beta
Hello, I just installed the 20 Dec beta and noticed the following (compared to 29 Nov beta): 1. Headers and footers on ODD PAGES ONLY do not respect text styles set via \setupheader[style=\ss] and \setupfooter[style=\cg]. Text in both cases is in serif type. Headers and footers on EVEN pages have correct fonts. However, setting the font variant and size directly in \setupfootertexts[\cg\bf Footer Text] works for odd pages. On the plus side: 2. \restoreinterlinespace is no longer needed with section headers in a grid layout. (See: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20050620.212538.c081f1e4.en.html). Thank you for fixing that. 3. columnsets no longer run into the page footer area when using \setupheader[state=high]. Thanks, Hans!

[NTG-context] Header bottomframe on first page of document
Hello, If I have a bottom frame under my page headers, is it possible to have NO bottom frame under the header on ONLY the first page of a document? I am using: \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on] to put a border line underneath all my page headers. I want to have a header on the first page of my document but no line under it (the first page header will be unique). I want to keep the vertical space for the header, so \setupheader[text][state=high] is not what I need. The reason for this is to have the option of placing a banner over the document title using the header. Some documents will need this, and some will not. So, if the extra banner is needed, I will put it in the first page header, and if not I will leave that header blank. The unique header will be set using: \definetext[firsthead][header][First Page Header Banner Text] % or leave it blank... \setuphead[title][header=firsthead,...] Thanks, PPN -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nel...@gmail.com ___ 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 ___
Re: [NTG-context] MnSymbol (math) support in ConTeXt
Thanks Mojca, I will study the source and see if I can understand it enough
to proceed further.
For my purposes, I think a single optical size would be sufficient (at
least that would be a good start and enough of a challenge).
What happens when --font=mnsymbol is used -- is there some level of font
support added, or does it just download the font files?

That is more or less the case. There is no reason why it should not
work with ConTeXt.
The main reason why I never looked into it is that the font offers
different optical sizes. And supporting optical sizes is something
that complicates matters a lot. If you would be happy with a single
optical size, that would be a lot easier.
would be willing to give it a try, but without an understanding of font
internals I don't know where to start. Perhaps someone can suggest
resources
for learning?
Are we talking about MKIV?
ConTeXt sources. math-vfu.lua and other math-*.mkiv/lua files, as well
as font-*.mkiv/lua.
You need to define a mapping vector to map from 8bit font to UTF-8.
See for example
mathencodings[tex-mi] = {
[0x1D6E4] = 0x00, -- Gamma
[0x1D6E5] = 0x01, -- Delta
in math-vfu.lua or tex/context/fonts/lucida-math.lfg or keep asking
questions. There is no manual to explain how to write such vectors.
Also, I see that there are MnSymbol files in
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/fonts/extra/mnsymbol/ but
these
don't appear to be included in my ConTeXt Standalone installation. Does
anyone know about them?
You need an extra switch. I think that --font=mnsymbol should work,
but I need to test (there's a chance that it doesn't and I plan to
change that anyway).

Re: [NTG-context] MnSymbol (math) support in ConTeXt
Minion Math does appear to be ideal for this application. However, given current budget constraints, it is unlikely that my department can purchase Minion Math for this project (an open-access academic journal). We already own Minion Pro. Thus my interest in MnSymbol.

[NTG-context] MnSymbol (math) support in ConTeXt
Hello, I have been developing a new layout environment using Adobe Minion Pro for the main body font. My document will include a significant number of math formulas. I found a thread from earlier this year on the possibility of adding support for the LaTeX MnSymbol font package in ConTeXt, and wondered if anyone has gone farther with this idea. The last recommendation on the thread ( http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/057426.html) was to merge the Opentype MnSymbol font with Minion Pro using FontForge -- I tried that using the steps outlined, but reached the same obstacle mentioned by the last poster: the new (merged) font is not recognized by ConTeXt. That approach probably violates the Adobe font license anyway... In a 2009 thread on dev-context, Wolfgang Schuster mentioned an attempt to create a virtual font and typescript for MnSymbol, but he encountered problems with Greek characters. ( http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20091122.164136.5757ec1f.en.html) So, as I don't know how to proceed further, I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has experimented with MnSymbol support, or in finding out what specific steps would be involved in adding support. Also, any recommendations of other math fonts suitable for use with Minion Pro would be welcome. I am currently playing with XITS math, which is Times-like but not too bad a fit.

[NTG-context] Columnset error with \setupheader[state=high]
Update: I don't have a solution yet, but here is my attempt to figure out where this problem comes from. I may be (probably am) wrong; I am new to ConTeXt and not an expert on its internals. But I'll toss this out to see if anyone is interested. When \startcolumnset is called, it seems to take a snapshot of the state of the layout (via setuplayout). However, layout can change, even without \setuplayout being explicitly called again, as in the case of header state=high (which modifies the layout of the first page only). By visual inspection, it looks like the columnset output routine continues to use the page dimensions from the first page on subsequent pages. Since the first page has no header space, height of the text box on the first page will be larger than on subsequent pages. Therefore, applying the first page height on subsequent pages will result in text that runs over the footer area. To see if a new call to \startcolumnset would fix things, I tried to find a way to automatically do \startcolumnset again at the beginning of the second page. A crude hack, using the startpostponing mechanism: \startpostponing[2] % do this block on the second page \unexpanded\stopcolumnset\unexpanded\startcolumnset[name] % manually end the current columnset and then start it again. \stoppostponing This unfortunately results in a blank page after the first page; however, the rest of the pages after that blank page have correct columnsets and footers. So a real solution to this problem could perhaps be done in two different ways -- the difference being where in the ConTeXt code it is implemented: A. The columnset output routine listens for changes in the layout state and reloads or adjusts itself when layout state changes; or, B. Any change in layout state passed to the output routine triggers a re-call of the \startcolumnset macro. These are probably oversimplified, but I hope someone who understands the columnset output routine can see what I am trying to get at. -- Peter Park Nelson peter.park.nel...@gmail.com ___ 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 ___

[NTG-context] Layout: partial width blocks
Hello again,
I'm working on a 2-column layout for a journal, and I want to keep the
title and abstract of each article from running across the full width of
the page (a small graphic will appear in the upper right corner of the
first article page).
For the article title, this works:
\def\ArticleTitle#1#2%
{\hbox to \hsize\bgroup
\setupframed[frame=off]%
\tbox{\framed[offset=0pt,width=.8\makeupwidth,align=right]{#2}}%
\hfill
\egroup}
\setuphead[title][%
header=high,
before={\hbox{}\blank[5mm]\vfill{}},
after={\hbox{}\blank[5mm]\vfill{}},
command=\ArticleTitle,
style=\tfb\se,
textstyle=\ss]
And for the abstract, I have come up with this:
\definebodyfontenvironment[10pt][text=10pt,interlinespace=12pt]
\defineframedtext[topwidth][%
style={\switchtobodyfont[10pt]},
width=.8\makeupwidth,
offset=0pt,
frame=off]
\definedescription[abstract][%
location=serried,
width=broad,
headstyle={\ss\se},
text={Abstract},
before=\starttopwidth,
after=\stoptopwidth]
However I can't control the lineheight within the abstract; I'm stuck with
the default lineheight but I would ilke it to be larger.
1. Can someone tell me why I can change the font size inside the abstract
block but not control the line height?
2. Is there a more efficient way of defining an area that is narrower than
the full page width to hold these items, instead of using
defineframedtext/definedescription for each one?

[NTG-context] BibLaTeX
I frequently use LaTeX with BibLaTeX and the BibLaTeX-Chicago Style package to typeset scholarly material. For me, BibLaTeX is a great tool. However, I am attracted to ConTeXt because, coming from a desktop-publishing background, ConTeXt gives me more/easier control over document layout and structure. Thus I began to dream of a chocolate + peanut butter combination of the two. I would like to know if anyone has thoughts on the possibility of using BibLaTeX Biber with ConTeXt -- perhaps through a wrapper module of some kind? I don't understand the internals of LaTeX or ConTeXt well enough to know if this is a ridiculous question. I respect the ConTeXt Bib module, but BibLaTeX-Chicago offers exactly what I'm looking for. Both BibLaTeX and ConTeXt use e-TeX, and the internals of BibLaTeX appear not to be LaTeX-specific. So, would it be possible to write a ConTeXt module that bypasses Bib and provides an interface between ConTeXt bibliography commands and BibLaTeX/Biber?

To do so would require supporting a \shorttitle field and adding mechanisms to keep track of what has been cited (in order to implement switching between full and shortened reference forms and enable ibid/op.cit. ). As an editor, this is probably beyond my technical abilities. Even so, if I wanted to mess around with this, where would I start learning about the internals of bibliography support in Context (beyond the documentation for the bib module)?
