[NTG-context] maths simplifying fractions
Hi all, I am writing some maths exercises that include simplifying fractions.
For that
reason I would like to cross out some numbers. Unfortunately overstrike doesn't
do the
trick, eg with a 4 the overstrike is practically invisible.
Is there any way to get a diagonal stroke like the latex module "cancel" can do?
Thanks for any suggestions,

[NTG-context] circuitikz meters
Hello ...
I am drawing some simple circuits for an electro-physics class I am teaching
using
circuitikz. Using meters gives some effects I don't quite understand.
The MWE works as shown. The commented lines fail with "Undefined control
sequence". If I
put the same 3 lines into Latex (via Texstudio on Linux), just the opposite
happens. The
line with rmeter fails, the other two work.
Why the difference? Some version issue? The "circuitikz manual version
0.9.4.pdf" shows
all 3 types of meters as choice.
Actually I would prefer to use the "ammeter" and "voltmeter" within Context.
Thanks for any pointers.
Greetings, Martin

Re: [NTG-context] defs, variables and dimensions (was: passing variables/data between context and lua)
Hi Hraban,
I can't answer your question counter or \define.
However in my specific situation I would not use the number as a counter but
just as a value. Actually my situation is an exam in which the total points are
44. From these I want to calculate percentages. And, as I find it easier to
write calculations (electro physics and maths) in Lua, I then want to pass the
results out to Context.

Re: [NTG-context] tikz problem with fontsize
Thanks for all the replies.
@Ulrike: You are right, this example you give works for me too. Me experiencing
it not
working must have come out of some strange constellation.
@Aditya: Yes, it does. But {} are needed:
\tikzstyle{label}=[font={\switchtobodyfont[20pt] \red}]
@Hagen: Yes, most examples do use Latex commands.
What confused me, was/is which commands are from the macro package i.e. Latex
or Context
and which are actually Tikz. Integrating font handling makes sense. That is why
the idea
of using Context font commands did not occur to me.
With this in mind, I'll go back to some slightly different syntax used in Tikz
3.1.4
manual and see what happens.

Re: [NTG-context] tikz problem with fontsize
Hi Hans, thanks for this. Yes, that works.
Am I right to assume that Context does not have a full tikz engine in the
background due
to the module implementation? For example, the \coordinate command is unknown
as well.
Is there any way to integrate a standalone tikz into context documents? Sort of
like svg
is handled through inkscape.

Re: [NTG-context] aligning rotated text in a natural table
Hi Willi,
thanks for the quick reply. I have the [align=lohi] as part of the setupTABLE
statement.
Now I tried adding it into the particular cell -- again no effect even if I add
"middle".
\bTD[align=lohi] \rotate[270]{\switchtobodyfont[8pt]a bit more text} \eTD
I suspect the rotate mechanism places the object independent of the align=
statement. For
that reason some other handling might be needed. I just don't know which :)

[NTG-context] placing an MPGraphic/Lines over multiple table cells
I am trying to place some lines in "Z" shape over several cells of a
table. This single "Z" has the intention of blocking manual alterations
to the table in empty cells. The cells to blocked are always a coherent
rectangle. I hope that makes sense.
In the example below, the table with 4 rows, 3 columns has content in
column one only, the other 2 columns should have the "Z". Placing the
blocking "Z" into every cell is not an option due to formal
requirements.
What I attempted below a) seems very cumbersome b) doesn't work (the
small "Z" doesn't fill the frame).
While I can easily place a "Z" into a single cell (in the example), I
can't figure out how to cover multiple cells. Furthermore, I would need
to do a lot of calculations to figure out the multiple layer placements,
column positions, etc. With multiple tables on a page, several pages,
that seems error prone.
Any suggestions, corrections, hints are most welcome!
Kindly, Martin
Working example with some comments:
% Graphic that draws the "Z", that works fine in a single table cell as
seen in the example
\startuseMPgraphic{ZRule}
rulethickness:= \frameddimension{rulethickness}*3;
drawoptions(

lowerleftcorner := (rulethickness, rulethickness+1.5mm);

Hello, I am trying to vertically align images within a bTABLE/Natural Table
cell.
The result should be 4 cards on an A4 page with a simple maths exercise and a
small image that illustrates the exercise. The image should be horizontally and
vertically centered within the space after the text. Exercise text and image
size vary somewhat, so a fixed placement is not possible.
I have tried \vfill, but it seems to have no effect in a Natural Table.
Similarly, \placefigure has not worked for me.
As basic layout I am using a Natural Table (4 x 4 cells per page, 12 pages),
maybe not the best solution. Alternative suggestions are most welcome.
Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] footnote numbers turn red
Hi Marco, Thanks for that. Though it seems that is only part of the situation. With the definition, as you give it, the footnote numbers at the bottom of the page turn green, but the ones in the text remain black. I deleted all generated files just to be sure. Martin The footnote numbers turn red(ish) as soon as \setupinteraction is present. Is that intended? Yes, it is.

[NTG-context] WG: Problem with simplefonts, placing of period
I just realized my mail was marked as spam..., not sure what impact that has.
Might be worth mentioning the Context version:
ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.21 16:50 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.21
Looking through the generated PDF the placement of other interpunctuation is
also off and the text is running rather tight when \setscript[hanzi] is used.
Thanks for any replies!
Martin
I am experiencing a problem with the placement of the period . after
a sentence. In the example below it's the one after (Englisch).
Once the line \setscript[hanzi] is uncommented, the period sits under,
before or far after the closing bracket depending on borders or text
before/after.
The question is: Is that a bug or feature? The key impact of setscript I see
is
on spacing/flow of text. A small amount of Chinese text in the complete
document
appears the same.
Thanks,
Martin

Re: [NTG-context] footnote numbers turn red
OK, was using: 2012.07.21 16:50 MKIV. Ran an update (now 2012.07.27 16:41 MKIV). Problem was in another place though (working on several docs at the moment). A module had the line: \setupfootnotes[textcolor=black] Then adding this what you gave at a later point: \setupinteraction [state=start, color=darkblue, contrastcolor=green] only changed the footnote at the bottom of the page to green, not in the text body. That remained black. This cross dependence had confused me. Is that the intent contrastcolor as given on? http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupinteraction Martin Not here with 2012.07.27 16:41.

Could you, or someone, give me an idea what is going on? Is something broken in

[NTG-context] table row span question
I am having trouble working out a solution for spanning some rows of tables.
The instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table got me so far as the
example shows.
The example is a timetable excerpt. So I want horizontal lines everywhere,
except on Mo, Di, Mi (Monday Tuesday Wednesday) where there are double periods.
Adding any more \DLs or \VLs results in not being able to translate the file or
other errors. Currently the horizontal lines are not where they should be (now
on Mo, Mi, Fr) but kind of evenly spread.
Lastly: How do I control row height?

Re: [NTG-context] Numbering in Table of Content
Basically I need a few
unnumbered entries at the top of the table (like abstract,
acknowledgements, etc)
Rio,
I handle this through using the unnumbered sectioning (\title, \subject..) and
then a
\definecombinedlist [content][title,chapter]
Essentially you add title to the already predefined list or combindedlist
content. Read contextref for details. This then generates a TOC with
\completecontent which includes the unnumbered sections/headers.
Regarding the numbering, you might gleen that from the sample document here:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Biochemistry_textbook
It all kind of goes like this:
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]
\completecontent
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=]
\setuppagenumber[number=1]

[NTG-context] Interaction and TOC/content problmes
I am having a couple of small problems with the interaction. In principle it's
working, but...
1. The TOC is added to the bookmarks, which is fine, but with a lower-case c,
ie. content
2. From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Bookmarks_and_Headers I figured out
how to get rid of the \crlf in the header. Actually, I'd be happy to just pass
the word Introduction to the bookmarks and leave out the rest. Any way of
doing that?
3. Strangely enough, placing \bookmark{Intro} after the \title {Introduction --
\crlf Welcome} replaces the content entry and points to the content, but
putting a \bookmark after \completecontent leads to no output at all.
Thanks for any pointers !

Re: [NTG-context] 2 sets of footnotes?
Hraban, Thanks.
I will have a play with that -- I am always getting lost in the various sets of
syntax rules (mk's, etc)...
You are right, the new MKIV syntax hints at possibilities. Is any documentation
other than the footnote page on the wiki and a few recent posts? Do I really
have to dig through the sources in base for switches, options, etc?
In ConTeXt MkIV \setupfootnotes is gone, it's
\setupnote[footnote] now (and the conversion parameter was
renamed to numberconversion); you can deduct that there
are several kinds of notes should be simply possible via
\note[mynote]{} etc. (Since \note collides with MkII's
\note, I don't know and I can't test at the moment.)
Perhaps add your findings to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes
Happy to do so. I have never written on contextgarden. Just go ahead and modify
and expand? Or go through the discussion page first? I'm a bit on the cautious
side here ..

[NTG-context] 2 sets of footnotes?
Hi all, I'm trying to do a (re-)layout for an older book which holds a few
challenges for me. Hopefully I can find some help here.
In this book I need to track 2 kinds of footnotes, sidenotes and the original
page numbering (I don't replicate the old text flow but put comments where
pages originally change). My footnotes follow the current layout/flow, not the
original layout.
My prime issue are having 2 sets of footnotes. One set of numbering (numbered
1,2,3...) is reset every section, which I figured out(\setupfootnotes
[way=section]). A second set results out of comments the original Author placed
into the margins. They are counted a, b, c... and are reset every page. Both
are placed at the bottom of the relevant page. A set of sidenotes in the form
R nnn is used from 1 to the end of the book to indicate the pages and
positions where these sidenotes where placed. Currently I am not linking the
second set of footnotes i.e. the author notes and the sidenote counter. Though
it might be a nice luxury to generate a list of all author notes.
I looked at lists and I suppose footnotes use the list mechanism in the
background. But I don't get anywhere with that. Trying to keep track of the
author notes, the placing with \placelist[AuthorComment] doesn't seem to work
in the example below. Besides, I don't see how they would appear or be placed
as footnotes.
In short: How do I get 2 sets of footnotes: one per section, one per page?
Extensive (sorry) example below.

[NTG-context] Blank lines and \noindent
Just curious about the intented behaviour of \noindent.
If I place it as shown in the example, the next paragraph will still be
indented. However, if the blank line between \noindent and the following text
is deleted or contains a comment, the following text will not be indented. Is
this placement dependency intended? I thought I could use blank lines at
liberty to style the sources.
Secondly, is there any way of integrating the \noindent into the \textrule.
Means: the paragraph following a textrule should not be indented. Not crucial,
but would reduce the clutter in the sources. There are about 600 textrules...
Not pretty, I know, but currently they are my indicator, that a page in the
original book, from which the text comes, has changed.
Thanks again, Martin

Re: [NTG-context] Blank lines and \noindent
Wolfgang, thanks for the input. Got me a bit further.
You should also use ConTeXt’s own commands \indentation
and \noindentation.
OK, had taken them to be equivalent reading the manual. But I see the context
commands do what I want...
\input{...} is LaTeX style, to read files with spaces in
ConTeXt you can use \input ... or \ReadFile{...}
I know (almost) nothing about Latex. It just seemed to conform to general
context syntax and worked. Ah, well.
best, Martin

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up protrusion, side-effects
I hate to pick up on this again, but...
The basic Palatino, together with protrusion and small caps is causing issues.
Essentially horizontal placing of the characters fails (see previous PDF).
In the example below, I can reliably cause the effect by commenting out (or
not) the line with the \sc.
This effect shows up the my real files. While trying to find the trigger by
culling down the files, for a moment I could reliably (!) turn the effect on
and off with the line %\setupfootertexts[chapter][pagenumber] and not changing
the \sc lines. Weird side effect? Sorry, I can't reproduce that one anymore.
One way to reduce, but not prevent the effect, is if more plain text is output
before using \sc. eg by adding an \input tufte beforehand. But once the text
after the \sc is a bit longer ie. 10x tufte the effect will show again. Gut
feeling: successive and cumulative rounding errors.
Question: Am I tripping over side effects? Is using SmallCaps a bad idea when
using protrusion? It just feels odd that something like this would be so
uncontrollable. Particularly since the palatino font is from the TexGyre set
(so close to home)
Thanks for thoughts! Martin

Re: [NTG-context] using \definebodyfont with multiple size declarations -- Why?
Can you show me a example where simplefonts is so slow.
Sure, here goes.
I should say, most of my documents are 1-5 pages and build time is usually
under 5 seconds (2nd and higher runs).
One (relatively) slow use of simplefonts is the Chinese example (1) below. The
way I pasted it, it runs just under 13 seconds on 2nd and consecutive runs. Not
using the adobe but eg the ht series is a whee faster.
It's not that I am doing huge amounts of Chinese, but jumping from, say, 3 to
12 seconds, is considerably slower. I was hoping by creating a typescript I
could speed things up a bit. Any suggestions welcome.
Standing corrected, the impact using eg. CharisSIL for phonetic/IPA symbols the
impact is much less: eg. a jump from 2.8 to 4.8 seconds in Example (2) given
below. The impact of 2 seconds is bearable!
Let me know if you want to see any output or whatever.

Fonts are sometimes special and when ypu load a font it's setting (e.g. ligatures, protrusion etc.) are frozen. To change the settings you need \definefontfeature before \setupbodyfont, OK, got it. Makes sense! Could this also be extended to \switchtobodyfont, in case I am using more then one font. Any \definefontfeature statements would have to be done before switching to any new font? In regard to the use of \showbodyfont in combination with protusion (the second mentioned problem) messing up palatino (ie. TexGyre Pagella), does that mean \setupbodyfont is doing some background work causing the layout following it to fail when protrusion is applied?

Re: [NTG-context] using \definebodyfont with multiple size declarations -- Why?
Hans, thanks for the detailed answer! My understanding is slowly advancing :D in principle we could do without, but this helps predefining a couple of things that otherwise would slow down each font switch This confirms my (vague) assumption that deep in the internals it helps structure things. it also relates to bodyfont environments where there are relationships between sizes ... thereby creating the a font enviroment in practice, if you choose say 13pt it will work out ok as things are checked and defined on the fly; but there might be a slight performance hit This goes towards my fear: I prefer to state things explicitly. Automagic that happens in the background covering up for my sloppyness is great, but... creates confusion when things trip up. Internals might change. Or I might have been building on side effects for all I know. For this reason examples with wordy declarations are welcome...

[NTG-context] using \definebodyfont with multiple size declarations -- Why?
As someone new to Context, I am trying to get to grips with font handling.
Reading through a fair amount of documentation it is not always to clear to me
what recommended practice in todays Luatex/MKIV enviroment is.
My setup is Minimals updated 26.7.2010 (luatex 0.60.2, MTXrun 2010.07.22)
setup on Mac OS X 10.6.4. I use it to produce documents I need in a language
teaching environment. As I am starting of without legacy documents, there is no
need for MKII or any other type of Tex.
Confusing for me is the use of \definebodyfont in typescripts. I read in
co-fonts.pdf (no release date, internal creation date 18/11/2009):
because Latin Modern comes in design sizes, there was a need to associate a
specific font with each bodyfont size. You may find yourself in a similar
situation when you attempt to create a typescript for a ‘professional'
commercial font set.
Looking at the example:
\definebodyfont [10pt,11pt,12pt] [rm] [tfe=Serif at 48pt, ite=SerifItalic at
48pt]
\tfe Big {\it Words}.
What I simply don't understand is the need for multiple font size declarations.
I can (kind of) see that it might be necessary (looking at typescripts), if the
whole typescript resolves to design sizes where each point size is a single
font file. But for ttf/otf fonts, ie. where the font is scaled?
This minimal example, including a special font (TitleFont) works (almost)
fine for me.

\input aesop-de
\stoptext
I do get one consistant error (the 5pt can vary depending on the size I give
in setupbodyfont):
{/Users/martin/contextMini/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-px.map}
virtual math the mapping is incomplete for 'pxmath' at 5pt
Though, the document looks fine. Does the error hint I am missing something?
What is good practice in Luatex/MKIV to access the desired fonts?
My questions:
- when do I need to use the multiple point sizes at all in a Luatex/MKIV
environment?
- when would I need to provide that information in typescript files I need to
create? (simplefonts is very slow to load fonts with phonetic symbols)
Any tips to help my understanding would be appreciated!
