[NTG-context] [metapost] troubles with labels

2013-12-29 Thread Pol Stra
Dear all,

with this minimalist content of metapost file:

```
beginfig(1);
dotlabel.ulft(A, origin);
endfig;
end.
```

And this conteXt file:

```
\starttext
\startMPrun
input mymp.mp;
\stopMPrun
\externalfigure[mprun.21][width=5cm]
\stoptext
```

The resulting pdf file contains no figure. But this conteXt file works:

```
\starttext
\startMPcode
dotlabel.ulft(A, origin);
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
```
As with any metapostfile which does not contain labels. But as soon as there is 
label, their is no figure.

Two last things:
if I compile the metapost file with standalone metapost, I can include the 
resulting file as an external figure. But if I put a label A', while with 
displaying figure with a viewer it is ok, when included in a conteXt file, I 
only obtain A label. Also, if I try to change the font in the metapost file 
(for example defaultfont:=pplr8r;) it does not work in conteXt.

Do you have an explanation or workaround?
Thank you

[NTG-context] boxedcolumns weirdness

2013-12-29 Thread H. van der Meer

I am typesetting a series of items with boxedcolumns enclose in a framedtext:
\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth,offset=0pt,frame=off,align=tolerant]
\startboxedcolumns[n=2,separator=rule]

Occasionally it happens that material at the end of the first column is not 
typeset.

It occurs haphazardly in a large (more than 300) series of items. Depending on 
the length of the first columns material (I introduced extra space with \crlf, 
\blank, \blank[dimension]) other items exhibit the effect.

Because of this haphazard character, the large data set and the fact that I 
could not isolate it in a few items, I regrettably do not have a minimal 
example. Thus I can only signal it here, in case others encounter it too. Or in 
case the person maintaining this code happens to spot the problem from the 
observation alone.

the end. is the problem, remove it and it works; but even then the 
image's boundingbox is wrong


i uploaded a bete that tries to work around both (hopefully without side 
effects)
