MkII in standalone distribution broken?

Just a short notice, can’t debug ATM:
Since yesterday evening, ConTeXt doesn’t seem to be able to build MkII  
formats (via the first-setup script on OSX 10.5.8 Intel), it claims,  
cont-nl.mkii, cont-en.mkii, metafun would be missing.
As far as I saw, MkIV builds.

updated binaries, please keep testing TL 2012

Hello,

the majority of binaries in ConTeXt distribution have been updated
from TeX Live 2012 now (missing are only linux-64, linux-ppc by Thomas
S., and possibly some from windows).

(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. We still
have an impressive number of PowerPC users.)

In the morning you should also see an update of ConTeXt in TeX Live
2012, matching the latest beta from yesterday. Please post feedback or
any issues that you might experience.

Mojca

Layers for alternating page elements?

Have just started working with TeX/ConTeXt after years with Adobe InDesign.
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

pushing margintext up

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

Beta breaks synonyms

Hi

Today's beta breaks synonyms. The first run is fine, the second one
fails with an

! Undefined control sequence.

Example:

\abbreviation {LOREM} {Lorem Ipsum}
\starttext
  \placelistofabbreviations
  \LOREM\infull{LOREM}
\stoptext

Local texmf directory in TeXLive 2012

Going ahead with the TeXlive testing, I found the following
problem. Probably I'm doing something wrong, but as far as I can see,
the texmf-local directory is ignored.

Best wishes.

doublesided wider paragraphs

Hello,

I am trying to change the width of a paragraph on a page. I found \defineparagraphs and \setupparagraphs and
it almost works. But for doublesided documents the text on verso pages is incorrectly aligned. I tried
[location=inner], but the macros do not seem to be aware of that. I also found \startlocal (\startlokaal)
in the ConTeXt getting started pdf, but Mk IV does not know \startlocal (any more?).

My example:

% setup the page format
\definepapersize[wissenschaft][width=170mm,height=240mm]
% use the new page format
\setuppapersize[wissenschaft]
% shape the page 
\setuplayout[topspace=40pt,
			header=0pt,
			headerdistance=0pt,
			backspace=42pt,
			leftmargin=0pt,
			width=280pt,
			height=560pt,
			rightmargindistance=20pt,
			rightmargin=100pt,
			footer=0pt]
%\showframe
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\defineparagraphs
     [fullwidth][n=1,before={\blank},after={\blank}]
  \setupparagraphs
     [fullwidth][1][width=400pt]

\starttext
\input tufte
\startfullwidth
\input tufte
\stopfullwidth
\input knuth
\startfullwidth
\input tufte
\stopfullwidth
\input tufte
\stoptext

My questions are: Is there no more \startlocal, how to locally adjust the layout on a page and how to make the
example work?

Thanks,
Andy

Column distance in natural tables

Hi,

How to set the distance in a generic way between individual columns
without breaking the frame rules? A workaround is to set the roffset
of all columns, except the last one, but that's not very universal.

\startsetups table
  \setupTABLE [frame=off, topframe=on]

  % generic, but frame rules are interrupted
  \setupTABLE [columndistance=1cm]

  % works, but ugly hard coded #columns
  %\setupTABLE [column] [1,2] [roffset=1cm]
\stopsetups

\starttext
  \bTABLE [setups=table]
    \bTR\bTD aaaaaa \eTD\bTD bbbbbbbb \eTD\bTD ccccccc \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD dddd   \eTD\bTD eeeeeeee \eTD\bTD fffff   \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD ggggg  \eTD\bTD hhhh     \eTD\bTD iiiiii  \eTD\eTR
  \eTABLE
\stoptext

Marco

Interfering frames in natural tables

Hi,

the frames are interfering in the following example. How to avoid
the 2pt-2-column bottom rule also be drawn at the top?

\startsetups table
  \setupTABLE [frame=off]
  \setupTABLE [row] [first] [topframe=on]
  \setupTABLE [1]   [first] [bottomframe=on, rulethickness=2pt]
\stopsetups

\starttext
  \bTABLE [setups=table]
    \bTR\bTD[nc=2] Lorem                               \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD Ipsum  \eTD\bTD Dolor    \eTD\bTD Sit     \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD aaaaaa \eTD\bTD bbbbbbbb \eTD\bTD ccccccc \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD dddd   \eTD\bTD eeeeeeee \eTD\bTD fffff   \eTD\eTR
  \eTABLE
\stoptext

Side question: Is it safe not to use setups and shorten the example?

\starttext
  \bTABLE
    \setupTABLE [frame=off]
    \setupTABLE [row] [first] [topframe=on]
    \setupTABLE [1]   [first] [bottomframe=on, rulethickness=2pt]

    \bTR\bTD[nc=2] Lorem                               \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD Ipsum  \eTD\bTD Dolor    \eTD\bTD Sit     \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD aaaaaa \eTD\bTD bbbbbbbb \eTD\bTD ccccccc \eTD\eTR
    \bTR\bTD dddd   \eTD\bTD eeeeeeee \eTD\bTD fffff   \eTD\eTR
  \eTABLE
\stoptext
