ConTeXt swallows text

ConTeXt swallows text

[Oliver Heins]

Hi,

under certain circumstances, ConTeXt swallows text.  This happens with
both MkII and MkIV and a fairly recent minimals distribution.

| ConTeXt  ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKII  fmt: 2009.11.25  int: english/english
| ConTeXt  ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKIV  fmt: 2009.11.25  int: english/english

Sadly, I noticed not until the booklet was already printed.  (Actually,
it was my customer who noticed.)  :-(

Best regards,
 olli

I played around with the width to see if the problem still happens.  For
some reason, I stuck with 1.95\textwidth.  In my original setup, I had
lines=19 :-)

That's a completely different layout.  You can find the relevant pages

If I understand well, you want
an automatic solution
instead of a manual solution like this one

 \defineoverlay [foregraphics]

No.  I already did that.  I want that the

For what I understand
\placegrafik[btlr]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=1.95\textwidth]}
and columnset with n=3 are not compatible.
I mean
1.95\textwidth and n=3 are not compatible

In mkii your \subject disappear, in mkiv no but things changes with
1.92\textwidth
whiel with 1.0\textwidth things go well.
I'm not surprised because columnsets must be carefully managed .

I thought you wanted to place this fig in a span of two columns, but I
was wrong -- sorry.

Same is true for lines=19.  I think this is a bug in ConTeXt, and I
wanted to report it, in the hope it will get fixed.

Sorry, but I won't consider a »feature working properly only under some
very rare circumstances« a properly working feature, but a broken one.

No problem.  I should be more precise in my phrases.

no surprise here ,as before

I disagree here.
In columnsets I always  exactly specify what  I want to do, to avoid surprise.
For example in your situation I  use width=1.0\textwidth, because
\placegrafik[btlr]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=1.95\textwidth]}
is a non-sense for me: I cannot  put a figure large 1.95\textwidth in
a column large \textwidth.
If I need  to do so, then I must reserve a span in a some way.

Yes, but the 1.95\textwidth was just a remainder of my experiments with
the width to see where the problem occurs and where not.  It occurs with
width=2\textwidth, too, as well as with lines=19.  And the latter two
one make sense.

And no, I don't want to put a figure 2 columns wide in a single column.
I want it to spawn over two columns.

> If I need  to do so, then I must reserve a span in a some way.

According to http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf (page
16ff.) it is perfectly okay to do the way I did.

That's what the directive btlr is for: flush from bottom to top and left
to right.

It's a documented feature, and it's not working properly (at least from
what I see).  I call this a bug.

Best regards,
 olli

Yes can be but
I don't  mix  code from chapter Graphics with code from chapter Areas,
so until now my code has  worked as expected.
(I usually work with Area, so this is why I 've said that
1.95\textwidth is non-sense)
This works for example in mkiv and mkii ,so I suspect some not-so-good
interaction between Area and Chapter,
but I still disagree to call it a bug because typesetting in columns
is always hard in TeX, so maybe it's a feature that
you need but it's not still implemented .
Of course more examples can be usefuls in this sense.

columnsets can indeed loose content depending on how you finish them

this might be improved in future versions depending on (also) luatex dev 
which gives me some more info

How can I finish a columnset so that it doesn't loose content?

\page after the stopcolumnset

also, as luigi remarked, chapter might somehow interfere if it is set up 
to start with a new page

well, keep in mind that tex itself has no concept of columns at all and 
that all heuristics (and unpredictable cases) have to be dealt with in 
macros (and developing that is quite timeconsuming)

^^^ this is fondamental ^^^

My experience says
0) keep start/stopcolumnset as small as possible to flush on a regular basis
and
1) use material from chapter Graphics
xor
2) use material from chapter Area
xor
3) Are you sure that I don't Indesign instead ?

I know.  Thanks for doing this job so well and sharing the code, Hans!

Hopefully, things are getting better with luatex.

Guess I'm too much a TeXnician (or a TeXophilian) for that, and besides,
Indesign doesn't run under Linux anyway (I have a kind of windowphobia
;-).
