This gives 

  ...
  language: language en is active
  ! Undefined control sequence.
  l.3 \setupenumeration
   [test][%

using the current minimals. Replacing \setupenumeration by
\setupenumerations fixes this but does not give the same result as
before.

[NTG-context] way=bychapter not working for enumerations in mkiv

2009-09-17 Thread Olaf Mersmann
Hi list,

the following example works in MkII but not in MkIV as expected:

\defineenumeration[test][%
  way=bysection,
  location=left,
  text=Test]

\starttext
\section{One}
\starttest
  \input knuth
\stoptest

\section{Two}
\starttest
  \input knuth
\stoptest
\stoptext

In MkII I get 1.1 and 2.1 but MkIV gives 1 and 2.

Cheers
Olaf

Thanks for the hint. Never saw \setupuserpagenumber[] before.

I tried to run an expanded version of the minimal example Wolfgang
provided with the current minimals and it gave the following error:

  ...

The original gave the same error for me. Any help in debugging this

As far as I can tell it's the sheer size of TexLive that is keeping it
from being ported. I would think it is not trivial to modularize it
enough to bring the installed size down. 

What I am thinking about is building a minimal context port. This
should be easier to accomplish since we already have a minimal texmf
tree thanks to Hans. All that is needed is a source for the FreeBSD
binaries. These could be built out of the TexLive source tree...

I'll try to cook something up the next couple of days.

Cheers,
Olaf

I do this regularly (including building luatex from svn). If there is
enough demand for it, I can put together a freebsdtex.zip for the

Re: [NTG-context] strange text/math spacing

I cannot reproduce your problem. Take a look at this minimal example:


%% Pick one of the following for different types of bounding boxes.
%\def\boxit#1{{#1}}
%\def\boxit#1{\hbox{#1}}
\def\boxit#1{\hbox{\strut #1}}
\showmakeup
\starttext
The absolute value of \boxit{a} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it a} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$a$} is positive.\crlf

The absolute value of \boxit{b} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it b} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$b$} is positive.\crlf

The absolute value of \boxit{A} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it A} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$A$} is positive.\crlf

The absolute value of \boxit{B} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{\it B} is positive.\crlf
The absolute value of \boxit{$B$} is positive.\crlf
\stoptext


The distance between the 'of' and the following letter is the same for
a math mode $a$ or a regular roman a. Only if we switch to italics is
a little extra space added. At least for my eye the letters are evenly
spaced.

[NTG-context] Rescaling pages

2006-07-19 Thread Olaf Mersmann
Hi List,

I have a booklet typset on A5 paper with an A5 pagesize (one page per
sheet). The printer-shop wants the pages enlarged to A4, so that they
can scale them back down to A5 and imposition 2 on an A4 sheet. Don't
ask me why they want this. I don't know. 

Is it possible to easily do this from within context or what are my
options?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Olaf

R does support redirecting output to a file. Use

[NTG-context] Problems with columnsets and \startbackground \stopbackground

2006-07-01 Thread Olaf Mersmann
Hi list,

I have some wierd interactions between a columnset and \start- /
\stopbackground.

 cut here 
\setuppapersize  [A4, landscape]
 [A4, landscape]
\setupcolors [state=start]
\setupbackground [background=screen, 
  frame=on,
  frameoffset=2pt,
  backgroundoffset=2pt]
\setuphead   [section]
 [style={\ss\bf},
  before={\startbackground},
  after={\stopbackground}]

\definecolumnset [foo] [n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[foo]
\subject{ABC} 
\input tufte
\input knuth

One more line and {\em BOOM} - it's broken.\crlf
Here we go. 3 2 1 -- page break!

\subject{DEF} 
\input knuth
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
 cut here 

The second \subject{} causes a page break instead of wrapping into the
second column. Is this a bug, or am I missing something when using
\start- / \stopbackground?

Would this go away if I where to use a MP graphic for the background?

Thanks for any help.
