Thank you, Hans, this works absolutely great!

Two little questions:

I have set it now globally for _all_ floats as \setupfloats[freeregion=no].
At a first glance it doesn’t seem to cause any issues. 
Is there any pitfall when setting it globally, which I might not be aware?

Is 'freeregion=no' an option that is meant to stay, or is it a workaround for 
the recent betas?

Thanks again,
Best,

[NTG-context] Textbackground issue with margin pictures

[Tom]

Hi,

today I updated from ConTeXt 2015.11.19 to the recent Beta 2017.03.26 16:15.

I noticed that my textbackgrounds now interfere with margin pictures, that is,
if there is a margin picture at the side of a textbackground, then the 
textbackground is suppressed for the entire height of the margin picture.


Here is a minimal:

\setuplayout [
leftmargin=0mm,
rightmargin=45mm,
height=fit,
width=fit,
]

\definetextbackground [test] 

\starttext

\placefigure [margin]{}{}

\starttextbackground [test]
\dorecurse{3}{\readfile{ward}{}{}}
\stoptextbackground

\stoptext


With the ConTeXt Current from 2016.05.19 13:43 I don’t see the issue, 
everything’s fine there.

Here are two screenshots:

Desired behavior (Ctx Current): http://d.pr/i/Xgtc
Non-desired behavior (Ctx Beta): http://d.pr/i/1gyi

Is this a bug?

Thanks for any help.

I’ve updated the Ctx Typest Tool for macOS Sierra.

Due to a lack of computers I hadn’t installed the Sierra Beta, so this update

Release notes:

1.3.0 (65) (2016-09-18)
Compatibility: macOS 10.11, 10.12; probably 10.10 (untested); maybe 10.9.
Removed ASObjC Runner from the bundle (incompatibility with macOS Sierra).
Rewritten all code formerly related to ASObjC Runner.
Removed terminal-notifier -> No more notifications under macOS 10.8.
Changed Trash Generated PDF Files action: it now shows a list where you can 
select the PDFs to trash.
Updated 7zr to ver 16.02
Removed the Python dependency.

[NTG-context] Vertical align in side by side paragraphs

Hello,

How can I make both/all columns in a paragraphs environment align flush bottom, 
e.g. for addressing a letter? I saw a line in the manual about using top=\vfill 
but I couldn’t get this to work. Should I be using TABLE here?

Thanks (again),

  [n=2, before={\blank}, after={\blank}] 

\setupparagraphs[Par][1]
  [align=flushleft]

  \vfill % I hoped this would push bob’s address down
  Bob’s name \crlf
  Company \crlf

  Bob’s town \crlf
  Bob’s country
\Par
  My street \crlf

OK, I’ll do my best to stick to one line.

I guess it would be better to use a paragraphs or column environment for long 
labels but the ConTeXt is generated by pandoc, which writes 'definition lists' 
as \startdescription \stopdescription.___

[NTG-context] Overlapping terms in description lists

[Tom Harrop]

Hello again,

The document I'm typsetting uses description lists. To keep the list 
entries close together I'm using before=\nowhitespace and 
after=\nowhitespace in \definedescription. This is fine so long as the 
term is short, but when the term wraps to two lines it can overlap with 
the term below.


Here's an example:


\setuppapersize[A5]
\setupalign[flushleft, nothyphenated]

\definedescription[description]
[before=\nowhitespace, after=\nowhitespace]

\starttext

\startdescription{Short term:}
  Items with short terms are fine.
\stopdescription

\startdescription{This is a really long term:}
  Long term + short definition
\stopdescription

\startdescription{This is a really long term:}
  ... the long term of the item above the mashes into the term below.
\stopdescription

\stoptext


And here is an attempt at a plain text representation of what I'm trying 
to achieve:



Short term: Items with short terms are fine.
This is a really
long term:  Long term + short definition
This is a really
long term:  ... the long term of the item above the mashes 
into the

term below.


Is this possible using \definedescription? I tried some combinations of 
\vfill and \framed but I couldn't get it to work.


Sorry to repeatedly post newbie questions. Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom

[NTG-context] Move textrule closer to head

[Tom Harrop]

Hello,

I'm a ConTeXt beginner. I'm working on a document where I would like a 
textrule under my subsubsection headings. If I use after=\textrule, the 
placement of the textrule is too far from the heading, and I haven't 
found a way to move it closer to the heading either with \setuphead or 
\setuptextrules.


Here is an example:


\setuphead[subsubsection]
  [after=\textrule]

\starttext

\subsubsection{I would like less space between this heading and its 
textrule}


Here is some text.

\stoptext



I realise that the spacing looks pretty good in the PDF produced by this 
example, so you'll just have to believe me that it needs to be closer to 
the headings in my document.


I'd appreciate any help on this, including suggestions of 
alternative/better methods to do this.


Thanks for reading,

Tom

[NTG-context] Possible typo in source file type-imp-lato.mkiv

[Tom Harrop]

Hi,

I was having trouble getting italics to work for a PDF that uses the 
Lato font. Bold and 'normal' were rendering just fine.


In the log I saw some lines like:

fonts   > defining > font with asked name 'lato-reglta' is not 
found using lookup 'file'

fonts   > defining > unknown font 'lato-reglta', loading aborted


I noticed Context was searching for *reglta (with a lower case "L") 
rather than regita (with an "i").


Looking at the file 
http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/type-imp-lato.mkiv I 
can see that all the synonyms point to *lta rather than *lta inside the 
\definefontsynonym commands.


I tried changing all the instances of *lta to *ita in type-imp-lato.mkiv 
on two different systems (Ubuntu and MacOS) and in both cases I 
subsequently got italics in my PDF.


I suppose this could be a bug. Is this list the right place to report it?

My apologies if it is in fact something I was doing wrong!

Thanks,

Tom

[NTG-context] Apply a start/stop command pair to certain subsections

[Tom Harrop]

Hello,

I'm a new Context user, and I have a question about conditional 
formatting of paragraphs.


I'm typsetting a CV. I am using pandoc to generate the .tex file from 
Markdown before compiling the pdf with context. Because pandoc inserts 
the body of the document from one variable ($body), I would like to 
avoid using e.g. \startmycommand and then \stopmycommand to modify 
individual subsections.


What I can do from Markdown is tag the headings, so that (for example) 
the "Publications" subsection starts as 
"\subsection[pubs]{Publications}". I would like to know if there is a 
way to automatically apply a start/stop command pair to the "pubs" 
subsection(s), or if it better to do this with an external script that 
modifies the .tex file before I call context.


Below is an example where I can get the output I'm looking for 
(paragraphs in the "pubs" subsection have a hanging indent) by defining 
a start/stop command pair and manually applying it to the "pubs" 
subsection.


If anyone has any tips to apply this automatically to the "pubs" 
subsection(s) but not the "text" subsections, I'd appreciate it! I have 
searched the wiki, read through the "Context: an excursion" document and 
looked around in the mail archive and stackexchange, but I didn't find 
exactly what I want.


Many thanks for reading,

Tom Harrop

---Example below---

\definestartstop [negindent] [
  before={%
\startnarrower[left]%
\setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes,first]%
\setuphead[subsection][indentnext=yes]%

  after=\stopnarrower,
]

\starttext

\subsection[text]{Normal text}

I would like the text in this subsection to appear without indents.

In the following subsection I need hanging indents.

\startnegindent

 Most of these are simple tables with itemized lists. I don't think
 that you need grid or any other fine-grained control to get this
 output. So, the short answer is yes, ConTeXt can easily do such
 checklists.

Agreed, but for the checklists I want to make I would prefer more

 Then please give an example of the type of checklists that you want
 to make rather than picking random samples from google. Otherwise,
 it is impossible to answer whether what you have in mind is feasible
 in ConTeXt or not.

I care about having fine-grained control over the exact placement of labels
and boxes.  That is, can I place boxes and text labels at exact coordinates
on a page, either in absolute terms or relative to each other?  That's all
I'm after.

 I want to make a variety of checklists which are essentially based on a grid
 layout.  I care about having fine-grained control over the exact placement
 of labels and boxes.  I do not care about paragraphs, hypenation, equations,
 or anything like that which I know TeX is very good at.
 
 Is ConTeX a good fit for my needs?  How could I do it?
 
 I've already though about Tikz and PGF but I don't think they give me enough
 fine-grained control.  If I fail to find a way to solve my problem using TeX
 I will probably explore SVG and PostScript.
 
 Here are some examples of the kind of thing I would like to do that I pulled
 from an image search for checklist

 Most of these are simple tables with itemized lists. I don't think
 that you need grid or any other fine-grained control to get this
 output. So, the short answer is yes, ConTeXt can easily do such
 checklists.

Agreed, but for the checklists I want to make I would prefer more
fine-grained control.

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Minimals ignores structureblockenvironment for frontmatter etc.

Minimals MKIV ignores the structureenvironment blocks when the suffix is
'matter' but applies them if the suffix is 'part.' Furthermore, they are
applied in \starttext if between \startfrontmatter -- \stopfrontmatter, etc.

The following code executes but does not apply the environment block

Re: [NTG-context] Minimals ignores structureblockenvironment for frontmatter etc.

[Tom]

Thank you, Wolfgang. Your table is most helpful. This can probably be found
in the documentation but not where I looked. This probably relates to the
recent discussion regarding manuals for novices.

My observation is that \completecontent and \completeindex are treated like
chapter starts in that 'Contents' and 'Index' are formatted as if they were
chapter titles.

Sectionblocks have two names, one which you use for the settings and another

frontpart but in the document you use it with frontmatter.

[NTG-context] Table of Contents entries without page numbers

[Tom]

It is relatively easy to create table of contents entries without chapter
numbers, but I can't figure out how to include entries without page numbers.
I want to place a title page, 'Appendices,' in the ToC after the last
chapter and before the first appendix. I can easily create the page using
\title{Appendices} but it doesn't show up in the ToC. Using
\chapter{Appendices} creates a ToC entry with a page number and an appendix
number, which can be eliminated. There must be some way of placing headers
within a ToC.

To the contrary, You have been most helpful. Installing the latest version

Dear Tom,

I am sorry that my experience is not help for you.
I am usning Mac OS X.
I just downloaded first-setup.sh and run it. Then it installs minimal and
makes formats well.

Minimal's current version: 2011.02.25 22:03
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.65.0-2010121316

However, I believe that Mojca's suggestion will relieve you from the install
problem.

Hope you succeed to install stable ConTeXt.

[NTG-context] Is Minimals ready for non-developers to use? (Tom)

[Tom]

Thank you for explaining this, Mojca. Knowing that it will be fixed sometime 
before September gives me hope. In the meantime, I think I have a workaround 
that, although awkward, will create a correct PDF. What I will do is create a 
PDF that is correct except for the TOC that Context generates, create a correct 
TOC PDF with another tool, then create a new PDF with the good pages from the 
original PDF and the bad TOC replaced by the good one.

Is there a list of known bugs somewhere? That would eliminate a lot of 
frustration and your having to deal with problems that are already being 
handled.

Is it possible for one to create a new font style? For example, if I have a 
need for two different sanserif fonts (Iwona and Helvetica for the sake of 
argument) to be used sporadically throughout a document. It would be nice to be 
able to do something like \ss1 to select the first one and \ss2 to select the 
second one. \ss to select the first one and \aa (or two other letters) to 
select the other.

Thanks,

 of Minimals worked fine but I wonder why they even advertise that there is a
 stable version to be downloaded.

When minimals were created, a new stable version was released
approximately once a week. It used to be a problem to get the beta
version working since beta often depended on a new version of luatex
(which was also released every two/three weeks, but often not
synchronized with ConTeXt releases).

Now Hans only releases a stable version twice a year or so. The
problem is that minimals have not been designed with that in mind and
there is only a single version of texmfcnf.lua and only a single
version of luatex binary. Consequently minimals can only work either
with beta or with current when the two versions diverge, but not with
both and beta has priority.

I need to change the way the distribution works entirely, from the
grounds up (I have many parts ready, but not ready to publish yet).

An easy solution would be to create another mirror and only provide a
working current version there.

 I guess they mean a stable version of MKII.
 I had the same experience that you had with the Introduction not showing up

You don't need to report it. I'm aware of that flaw. I could do a
temporary fix, but I would prefer to fix it properly. I'm sorry that
it alredy took me several years to address those issues, but I promise
to fix it before the conference. Properly.

You also need to keep in mind that even though it is advertized as
stable, bugs won't be fixed (many project often have at least two
branches of development - one for fixing the released version and one
for real development; the released version should get bugfixes, but in
context development that doesn't and won't happen unless some
volunteer starts carefully checking the new code and only applies
bugfixes to the stable version).

So most people that use ConTeXt actively need bugfixes very often and
the only way to get the bugs fixed is to use the latest version. Well,
latest version comes with its own bugs, but at least you have a chance
to get them fixed quickly.

[NTG-context] Is Minimals ready for non-developers to use?

[Tom]

Dalyoung,

I attempted to install Minimals on my Windows system--twice--to no avail. I
selected the current option because I don't want to be constantly updating
the software when I am not using anything that remotely resembles cutting
edge features. I am using a short, lower-case directory name as suggested.
MKII appears to work fine but I get the following messages when I try to
compile Hello.tex:

MTXrun | forcing cache reload
MTXrun | resolvers: loading configuration file
'C:/ctm/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua'
MTXrun | resolvers

MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua'

I also get similar errors when attempting to run the following:

mtxrun --selfupdate
mtxrun --generate
luatools --generate
context --make

From the message archives I see that others have had similar problems but I
don't understand what the suggested fixes were. One massage stated that the
instructions on ConTeXtGarden were deprecated, but I don't know if the
instructions have been changed since that time.

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Dear Tom,



What version are you using? 

I am using minimal not TeXlive2010. Of course, there are some bugs in beta.
But it would be fixed soon.
Moreover, you can have more than one Minimal folder. So it is easy to use
stable version if the beta has bugs.



BTW, where did you read to use front part instead of frontmatter? 

There was a thread whose title is Roman Page numbers.
And among the mails on 2009. 2. 4, there was a sample written by Wolfgang .

\definestructureconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
\definestructureconversionset[bodypart:pagenumber] [][numbers]

\setuplist[chapter][pageconversionset=pagenumber]

\startstructureblockenvironment[frontpart]

\startfrontmatter

\completecontent[criterium=all]

\chapter{Intro}

\input tufte

\stopfrontmatter

Mailing list is a good place for me to learn ConTeXt. There are so many
things which are not described in the manual.
I cannot give you a solution. But many experts who are reading this list
will give you a solution.

Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] Am not getting Roman numeral page numbers in MKIV

[Tom]

Thank you for taking the time to look into this for me, Dalyoung. I changed
bodymatter to bodypart in two places and got the same results as you did.
Page numbering is reset to 1 for the Introduction. However, I still don't
get Roman numerals in the front part and, as you also experienced, the TOC
is not listed in the TOC.

I am using Texlive 2010, which I downloaded on February 11, just two months
ago yesterday. One would expect such basic functions to be rock solid in
MKIV by now.

What version are you using? 

I have avoided downloading Minimals for the reasons mentioned in the thread
currently running on documentation plus that I don't want to be constantly
downloading new versions because of serious bugs and having simple things
that formerly worked to no longer work due to one of these bugs. I am not
using advanced features by any means. This is very frustrating.

BTW, where did you read to use front part instead of frontmatter?

Dear Tom,

Since I am an enduser of ConTeXt, I couldn't expalin what happens here.
 I just run your code in the mail and got the following results.

 
 1. Front matter page numbers are not lower-case Roman numerals although
they
 are listed as such in the TOC.

The Roman numerals in both front part and in TOC.
 
 2. The Introduction is not listed in the TOC.

Same as your output. No 

 3. Page numbering isn't reset to 1 in the bodymatter section.
 
Same as you, but if I change \startstructureblockenvironment[bodymatter] to
\startstructureblockenvironment[bodypart], then Introduction starts from
page 1.
So I guess that there are something between [bodymatter] and [bodypart].

best regards,

Dalyoung

The directory name, Context, is not longer than eight characters and has no
embedded spaces, so that should not be a problem. Executing texexec hello
works fine. However, I want to use MKIV not MKII. BTW, I chose the current
option to get a stable version.

What could be the problem?

Re: [NTG-context] Am not getting Roman numeral page numbers in MKIV

[Tom]

In MKIV, I am still unable to get lower-case Roman numeral page numbers on
the front matter pages, but if I use frontpart in the \defineconversionset
instead of frontmatter, the page numbers in the ToC are converted. Where is
a good explanation of the structureblockenvironment?

You can use both but we should mention in manuals, the wiki etc. only the
second.

Re: [NTG-context] Am not getting Roman numeral page numbers in MKIV

[Tom]

I used to think I was of average intelligence but I can't figure out to do
the most basic thing in ConTeXt. My current problems with this simple code
are:

1. Front matter page numbers are not lower-case Roman numerals although they
are listed as such in the TOC.
2. The Introduction is not listed in the TOC.
3. Page numbering isn't reset to 1 in the bodymatter section.

Obviously, I'm not reading the correct documentation or am too stupid to
understand what I am reading.

Re: [NTG-context] Fonts in ConTeXt is now available from boekplan.com

[Tom]

Is this book going to be available in the U.S.? If so, where can I find it?
If not, may I suggest that you upload your PDFs to CreateSpace.com and have
it made available to buyers through Amazon.com. I normally don't like
limiting a book's availability to a single reseller, but for a niche book it
makes sense. There is no cost to upload the book but an optional $39 fee
that reduces print costs dramatically. There is no inventory cost as books
are printed only when customers order copies. If multiple titles are to be
published, using Lightning Source may make more sense for serving the U.S.
market.

[NTG-context] (no subject)

[Tom]

The following code seems to ignore both justification (to the extent that a
mono-spaced font could be justified) and the right margin. I recall seeing
something that deals with this problem somewhere but can't recall where.

\starttext
\tt 
Janet had gone away to get the bath ready, when my aunt, to my great alarm,
became in one moment rigid with indignation, and had hardly voice to cry
out, {\quotation Janet! Donkeys!}
Upon which, Janet came running up the stairs as if the house were in flames,
darted out on a little piece of green in front, and warned off two
saddle-donkeys, lady-ridden, that had presumed to set hoof upon it; while my
aunt, rushing out of the house, seized the bridle of a third animal laden
with a bestriding child, turned him, led him forth from those sacred
precincts, and boxed the ears of the unlucky urchin in attendance who had
dared to profane that hallowed ground.

Use the ConTeXt minimals or use a more pleasant layout for your headers,

Re: [NTG-context] including pdf

I have a somewhat related question in that I am creating a document that
will be used as an appendix to other documents. So, I can control the
various aspects of the PDF that is created and use \copypages. What I want
to do is number the pages A-1, etc. (or B-1, etc. depending on which
appendix it will be placed). That will avoid coordinating page numbers with
those in the documents to which it will be appended. What I can't figure out
how to do is to prefix the pagenumber with A- (or B-). It is probably a
simple matter but I can't figure out how to do it.

\quoteleft worked in TexLive 2010 MKII. Neither \lbrace nor \braceleft work

Re: [NTG-context] Braces in TexLive MKIV

[Tom]

Thanks, Wolfgang. My document now compiles without errors and produces a
PDF. It is my understanding that one of the ways MKIV differs greatly from
MKII is in the handling of fonts. Which documentation should I look at first
to learn about fonts in MKIV (not that I understand them in MKII yet)?

[NTG-context] Chapter Command causes ToC to not display correctly

[Tom]

The code below seems to work fine when the first MyChapterCommand is
commented out and the second one is active. However, when the first one is
active and the second one is commented out, the ToC does not display
properly. What could be causing this to happen?

I know that the first MyChapterCommand is not appropriate and use an

[NTG-context] Chapters not sowing up in ToC

[Tom]

When attempting to place only the chapter number on the first page of a
chapter, the chapters do not appear in the ToC  the ToC does not display.
Inserting #2 just before the last } in the definition for MyChapterCommand
causes the ToC to appear with chapter names although it and the chapters are
ugly.

Is it necessary to include chapter names at the beginning of chapters?
Perhaps this is intended because leaving chapter names off the beginning of
chapters would reduce the value of the ToC. Maybe ToCs are not desired in
such situations.

[NTG-context] Stretching chapter titles - MKII

Follows is some code that executes. The lines immediately following

Re: [NTG-context] Using fonts from multiple families

[Tom]

Thank you very much, Wolfgang. The time zone difference is helpful
sometimes. I went to bed last night very frustrated and woke up this morning
to find your solution in my inbox. It is also good to see that your
assistance to me has also helped someone else. I do have a couple of
questions:

1. Why aren't the \usetypescriptfile commands necessary?
2. It never occurred to me to consider the dedication as a separate chapter.
Logically, it is but is the inverse of other chapters, sort of, in that the
chapter title isn't normally displayed and the body of the chapter is
printed in a different font than are the other chapters.

 I'm completely flummoxed as how to use fonts from different families.
 Follows is an attempt to use Pallatino (rm) for the text of a book,
 Iwono-heavy for chapter titles (sansbold), Iwona-light (sans) for page

Re: [NTG-context] Using fonts from multiple families

[Tom]

This should be my last question on this topic. I want to center the
dedication but align=middle (or center) and alternative=middle added to
\definestartstop[dedication] seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find a
simple way to center an odd line of paragraph of text. Using a frame seems
like using a sledgehammer to pound a tack.

Re: [NTG-context] Getting paragraphs to indent

Those things worked. Now I'm trying to figure out which fonts are standard
with TexLive MKII. So far, I've identified the following:

modern
palatino
modernvariable
postscript includes Times Roman, Helvetica and Courier
antykwa-torunska referred to as just antykwa 
fourier
bookman
optima
iwona
iwona-light
iwona-heavy
chancery

Have I missed any?

Don't define two commands with the same name, \definestartstop[dedication]
was meant as alternative to \definehead[dedication]. To force a page break
you can add before=\page to \definestartstop.

 \setupindenting[medium]
 \indenting[next]

Enable indenting, \indenting is just a synonym for \setupindenting but
use the \setup-command.

[NTG-context] Table of Contents issues

[Tom]

Using a very recent download of TexLive 2010 (MKII) on my PC, my success
generating a useful table of contents has been somewhat limited.

I can't figure out how to put the title, Contents, in the font I desire.
The various parameters I found in the documentation affect the chapter
titles and the page numbers but nothing I've found allows me to control the
title of the ToC. What am I overlooking? 

I would also like for the unnumbered chapter titles, such as introduction
or preface, to align with the other chapter titles, not with their numbers.
Aligntitle seems to have no effect on anything from what I have seen.

Re: [NTG-context] Table of Contents issues

[Tom]

This works. Now I want to make the chapter titles larger but my experiments
using style have failed. There must be a different way to do this. If I
understand bodyfont correctly, it is used for the text of the document, not
for the titles. In my case, the body is in a serif font and the titles are
sanserif.

[NTG-context] Using fonts from multiple families

[Tom]

\usetypescriptfile[type-one]
\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
TexLive 2010 MKII on a PC

I'm completely flummoxed as how to use fonts from different families.
Follows is an attempt to use Pallatino (rm) for the text of a book,
Iwono-heavy for chapter titles (sansbold), Iwona-light (sans) for page
headers (intended but not implemented), and Chancery (cg) for the
dedication. The only font that appears to come out right are the chapter
titles and I can't change their size without changing the size of the text
font. I apparently haven't found the right manual yet or am too stupid to
understand what must be a relatively simple concept.


\starttypescript [BookFont][texnansi,ec,qx,t5,default]

\definetypeface[BookFont][rm][serif][pallatino][default] %text body
\definetypeface[BookFont][ss][sans][iwona-light][default] %page headers
\definetypeface[BookFont][ss][sansbold][iwona-heavy][default] %chapters
\definetypeface[BookFont][tt][type][postscript][default] %embedded code
\definetypeface[BookFont][cg][calligraphic][chancery][default] %dedic.
\definetypeface[BookFont][mm][math][pallatino][default] %math

\stoptypescript

\usetypescript[BookFont][ec]
\setupbodyfont[BookFont,12pt]
\switchtobodyfont[serif]

\setuphead  [chapter][style=sansbold, alternative=middle]

\definehead [intro][chapter]
\setuphead  [intro][number=no]
\definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section]
\setuphead[chapter][style=sansbold]

 Using a very recent download of TexLive 2010 (MKII) on my PC, my success

 I can't figure out how to put the title, Contents, in the font I desire.
 The various parameters I found in the documentation affect the chapter
 titles and the page numbers but nothing I've found allows me to control
the
 title of the ToC. What am I overlooking? 
 
 I would also like for the unnumbered chapter titles, such as
introduction
 or preface, to align with the other chapter titles, not with their
numbers.
 Aligntitle seems to have no effect on anything from what I have seen.

 I can't find Helvetica-Caps or Helvetica-Caps-Regular in type-one.tex, the
 only file I changed. I can't find them in the original, unchanged version
of
 the file either. I can email you the file if you'd like.

Then it is in type-tfm.tex (or something like that).

But I would advice you to install minimals in parallels (you can then
switch between both).

All you need to do is to change PATH when you want to switch. (But in
any case it might be better to use at least TeX Live 2010.)

Did you fix anything else by accident? (Modifying a single instance of
Helvetica-Caps into Helvetica-Caps-Regular for example.) What version
of ConTeXt do you use?

[NTG-context] Iwona-Light error

[Tom]

I get the following error message when trying to use the iwona-light font in
MKII:
Cannot find Iwona-CapsLight.mf.

Iwona and Iwona-Heavy load OK.

The following code demonstrates the problem:

\usetypescriptfile[type-one]
\usetypescript[iwona-light][ec]
\setupbodyfont[iwona-light,12pt]

\starttext

\showbodyfont
\showbodyfontenvironment
\input knuth

\stoptext

BTW, the new chapter on typography helps immensely. However, I am a bit
confused by table 1.7 which, among other things, states that commercial
fonts are typeset in bold. It might be my old eyes, but I don't see
anything in that table typeset in bold.

As far as I know, you cannot define fontsynonyms to typefaces. If you
want to use names like 'TextFont' as a typeface, you have to use
\definetypeface.

Thanks, Taco. That did the trick. Now to experiment with more of the fonts

Why do you make the detour via PS at all?

There's no reason why a table should be resolution dependend at all,  
consisting just of fonts and lines.
But since you try to go via PS, there might be lowres pixel fonts (PK)  
involved.

Please provide a complete minimal example and describe how and why you  
force ConTeXt to produce PS.

 Preflighting it doesn't seem to generate the image resolution warning.
 Perhaps that is related to PDF/X-1a:2001.
So is it ok now ?

It seems to be but I'm such a novice using these tools that I may be 
preflighting with the wrong options set. Knowing that the lower resolution on 
the table doesn't matter much is consoling.

It's about time for some eggnog.

[NTG-context] Fonts in MKII

[Tom]

I am confused about using fonts in MKII. Which documentation provides the
best explanation and most accurate of how to use fonts in MKII. I am
particularly interested in using fonts that are bundled in Tex-Live. I will
leave bringing in other fonts till later when I understand the basics.

[NTG-context] Running Mk-IV using TeXnicCenter

[Tom Maynard]

 The information on this page 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Configure_TeXnicCenter_for_ConTeXt ends up 
invoking MkII (i.e. texexec).  Is there any information on the 
equivalent MkIV configuration?


The commands given above are:

(A) Path to the compiler...

C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat  
C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\texmfstart

(B) Command line arguments...

texexec.rb --bat --nonstop --pdf --interface=nl --color %bm

I believe that the 'texmfstart' and obviously the 'texexec.rb' will have 
to change (at least).  To what?  There is no 'context.rb' on my system.


Any help is appreciated.

Tom.

texexec gives MkII; context gives MkIV. I think this may need to be

I fell into this trap because either the Beginner's manual or some other 
specifically says to run TeXexec instead of ConTeXt -- since (it says) 
TeXexec will run automatically as many times as needed.  The implication 
is that TeXexec is smarter than ConTeXt.


I am brand new to ConTeXt and wanted to learn the new stuff and not 
spend any time with MkII, and I was surprised to see the difference 
between the two tools.


[Update: the First Document tutorial suggests using TeXexec ... and 
that's probably where I first went wrong.]

On my desktop machine I have both TeXLive (for Cygwin) and ConTeXt

As a newbie, I wanted to try out the Concrete Roman font ... but

reports it is ConTeXt MkII ... but running ConTeXt directly reports

mkiv has only pdf as output format so you can use the same image formats

Do I understand correctly that MKIV will not output a dvi or ps file and

TeX Live 2010 should work fine.

Mojca


I don't expect there will be much ConTeXt activity from our Dutch friends
today due to the big game, but I will risk a question anyway.

From which site should Americans download Tex Live 2010? Minimals only?

The Wiki suggests that command-line and GUI installers can be downloaded
from there and that either a stable or beta version can be selected from
either of the installers. Is this the recommended method for non-technical
types to get Tex Live? I assume that the beta version is the latest 2010
version, bugs and all, and that the stable version is the one suggested by
Mojca and is close to the one that Taco says will go physical in September.
Will anything else, such as Ruby, be required?

Ruby is not needed for MkIV, but if he is planning to use MKII, you'll
want to install Ruby anyway.

I get very confused by all the different versions. For starters, what is Tex
Live? Is it the full blown Context or is it something else? The TUG site has
Tex Live 2009 which I assume is a stable version that is distributed on DVDs
to TUG members. I get the impression that other Context compilers for lack
of a better term exist and that Context Minimals is a stripped down version
of a more powerful one. How far off track am I?

There are only 2 different versions of ConTeXt, called Mark II and  
Mark IV (MkII, MkIV). They are always distributed together and still  
share a lot of code.
MkII is stable, MkIV is the development version with several enhanced  
features and a completely new font handling.

There are 3 different engines for TeX that work with ConTeXt: pdfTeX,  
XeTeX and LuaTeX. MkIV works only with LuaTeX, MkII with any. Font  
setups (typescripts) differ per engine.

There are several distributions of TeX that contain ConTeXt, the most  
notable are TeX Live (jointly published by most TeX User Groups of the  
world) and MikTeX (Windows only). If you don't need LaTeX, we suggest  
our ConTeXt minimals distribution - at least for MkIV, because it's  
always the most up-to-date one.
Minimals is in no way stripped down (even if it was meant to be a  
bare bones ConTeXt distro), but contains even several tools and free  
fonts.
Most distributions contain all engines.

MkII ist called by texexec (a Ruby script, i.e. you need Ruby  
installed), MkIV ist called by context (a Lua script, directly  
executed by LuaTeX).

[NTG-context] Best version of ConTeXt

[Tom]

What would be the best version of ConTeXt to recommend to a friend who
writes novels on a PC running Windows? The person has no programming skills.
He would probably require some assistance installing Tex-Live or whatever
and would need a stable version because he couldn't manage frequent updates.
Problems would far outweigh additional features for him.

Re: [NTG-context] \stretched in chapter titles in MKII

Further experimentation has found a partial solution. However, I am still
unable to get the chapter title line to stretch properly:

%errors when hardcoded title is replaced with #2
%doesn't error when title is replaced with {#2} but title is not stretched
%number of closing }s determined by trial and error

I am trying to stretch two lines of text to the same width for use as a

I have two major problems:

1. The second line of text is appended to the end of the first line instead
of being placed below it.

2. I get errors when using #1 and #2 as values, i.e {Chapter #1} and {#2}.
Because of these errors I have hardcoded the values in the example that

Thanks, Wolfgang. You have not only solved my immediate problem but have
also provided me with examples of using the \deep commands. I haven't found
enough documentation of them yet to get through my thick skull an
understanding of what they do and how to use them. Can you explain to me the
significance of the [1]s after the defines? 

I would still like to be able to convert chapter numbers to words without
impacting the table of contents. I am confused about how
\determineheadnumber and \currentheadnumber work. It appears to me that
\determineheadnumber places the chapter number in a register and
\currentheadnumber retrieves that value. I tried inserting \numstr before
\currentheadnumber. That converts the chapter number to text and doesn't
mess up the TOC  but the first line is no longer stretched. Clearly, I don't
understand this very well at all.

[NTG-context] Unnumbered titles in table of contents

This change produces the desired results on the first page of each chapter
but also has some, in my case, undesired side-effects. Chapter numbers in
the table of contents are now spelled out (I prefer numerals in the TOC) and
section numbers in the text begin with the words rather than the numerals
(again, I prefer numerals for section numbers). The documentation probably
explains how to deal with this, but I haven't been able to find it.  All I
want to do is make a cosmetic change to the tops of the chapter start pages.

\chapter{First Chapter}

Some sample text. Chapter \numstr{1} numstr logic works correctly when
embedded in the text. Chapter title displays correctly when numstr not in
chapter start logic. Errors out when numstr is in chapter start logic as if
parameter is not a number.

\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] \numstr errors out in chapter star logic

 \numstr seems to work fine in the body of text but errors out as if #1 was
 not a number when it is used in chapter start loc. Here is an example:

 \setuphead[chapter]

Try \setuphead[chapter][deepnumbercommand=\numstr]

Making the following changes resulted in ! Missing Number, treated as zero.


%\def\MyChapterCommandA#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text

 The wiki includes the code for a macro, \numstr, that can be used to
create
 lower-case chapter numbers, but when I try to capitalize the first word,
get
 error messages. For example, the following errors out:

 Chapter \Word{\numstr{23}}

 As does

 Chapter \Words{\numstr{23}}

 but

 Chapter \numstr{23}

 Works as does

 Chapter \Words{twenty-three}

 However, the former returns twenty-three (all lower case)
 and the latter returns Twenty-three (only the first part is in upper case)

 It's not clear from the Chicago Manual of Style if three should be
 capitalized in this instance but, to my eye, it doesn't look right. Is
there
 a way to convert chapter numbers to text and select the desired
 capitalization?

If you want every word to be capitalized, simply change one, two, three, 
etc in the source of \numstr to One, Two, Three.

Aditya


If I do that, they will always be in upper case. I would lose the option of
having them in lower case.

Re: [NTG-context] Suppressing page number on chapter's last page

[Tom]

The following link discusses a method for suppressing headers (including
page numbers) from blank pages at the ends of chapters:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles in the section titled Truly empty
pagebreak before chapters.
