If a filename does not have an extension, \externalfigure fails. For example: $ cp `luatools hacker.jpg` something Then, \starttext \externalfigure[something] \stoptext fails. However, if I set \externalfigure[something][method=jpg] the figure loads correctly. But what is surprising is that if I set \externalfigure[something][method=pdf] then also the figure loads correctly! This means that context has the code to recognize the figure type (even without the extension), but that fails when method is not set. Setting a global \setupexternalfigures[method=pdf] does not work because method is reset to empty by \resetfiguresettings. Any ideas on how to load an external figure without a file extension and not specifying the figure type by hand?

Reading the manual “Fonts in ConTeXt” I found the following statement (p.97): “In both cases we end up with a message in the log file and a resulting file with missing data”. [When the font doesn't provide a glyph]. Now, the only case when the warning is issued is using mkii with xetex (texexec -xtx), not with mkiv. (Unsurprisingly, the file with missing data is always there :-) Minimal example: %% start \mainlanguage[hr] \starttext Ja sam sȃm, i sȃm sam došao da izvršim pravdu. \stoptext %% stop The name of the char is: LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH INVERTED BREVE (0x0203) So: $ context prova.tex $ grep -i -E '(warn|miss)' prova.* [ match nothing ] $ texexec --xtx prova.tex $ grep -i -E '(warn|miss)' prova.* prova.log:Missing character: There is no ȃ in font [lmroman12-regular]:+liga;+kern;mappi prova.log:Missing character: There is no ȃ in font [lmroman12-regular]:+liga;+kern;mappi It's not a regression, since the behaviour is the same with the last year ConTeXt.

Let's wait until tomorrow and see then. But the best of all is the following line: FontForge does not support your encoding (utf8), it will pretend the local encoding is latin1 I realized that it might not even be the first time for me to see that message: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/058800.html but it is totally puzzling. Now I realized that if I replace LC_ALL=sl_SI.UTF-8 with LC_ALL=sl_SI.utf8 in my environment I get that message as well (but I have no clue whether it influences anything).

(Builders might want to be careful a bit, I'm afraid that simply running the script would downgrade luatex because I increased the version in binaries, while sources are still at 0.70.1, so please don't try to build anything, except for Thomas who might want to test building the TL ;) Mac OS X Tiger is not supported any more. If there are any objections, you can help me figure out why building fails, else we are done with 10.4 forever. (We got 8 visitors of 10.4 on website [minimals.contextgarden.net] since January this year. I have no way to check if any tiger user actually uses the minimals or not.

Want to make an alternating page layout with one column only but a large outer margin. This I have managed to achieve but in addition I want running footers in the outer margin flush with the bottom of the text and also want a vertical .5pt rule between the text area and the outside margin area. Can a layer be placed in the footer or header to achieve this? Layout would have to alternate from left to right page. I think this means a different layer for each side? The right page must also have a logo at the top of the outside margin. Page setup is as follows: \setuppapersize [A4][A4] \setuplayout[ width=10cm,backspace=2.5cm,rightmargin=5.8cm, rightmarginspace=1cm,topspace=1.5cm,header=0cm,lines=42] Many thanks ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context&lt; at &gt;ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mai</pre> Tim Sheasby 2012-05-23T14:55:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/76346 <pre>Hello all, is there a way for margintext to 'respect' the lower border of the page and push the margintext up, pushing other margintexts upwards while doing so? example: \definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm,height=240mm] \setuppapersize [wissenschaft] \setuplayout [topspace=40pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, backspace=42pt, leftmargin=0pt, width=280pt, height=560pt, rightmargindistance=20pt, rightmargin=100pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupmargindata [margintext] [location=outer, width=100pt, align=flushouter] \starttext \showframe \input tufte \input tufte \input tufte\margintext{This is too low, if there are many words in this note.} \stoptext Kind of hard to explain, I hope the example makes everything clear.

There are several works by a single author, and it is customary to cite each text by page and line number, as in 1253.12 (page 1253, line12), for example. I have a sort key for each work. But now I need a way to get the entry 1253.7 (page 1253, line 7) before the entry 1253.12 (page 1253, line 12). \[Passage[AuthorText]{Author+Text+1253.07}1253.7 or \[Passage[AuthorText]{Author+Text+1253.07}1253. 7 would work, but it is really better to have the index entry as “1253.7” rather than as “1253.07” or “1253. 7” I have experimented with different sort keys—e.g., AuthorText125307—and can generate an index with the 1235.7 and so on in the proper place and form, say, before 1253.12. But then the problem is that I also get entire sequences of entries out of order (485.19, 485.21 before 477.31, and so on). Very puzzling.
