Beta breaks synonyms

Beta breaks synonyms

[Marco]

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

Re: Is there some easy way to do tufte-style side note?

[Andy Thomas]

I finished a first version of a tufte style sample document that is based on a predecessor in another macro language. The auto alignment of the marginals has to be improved, but the rest looks already quite decent.  

Please see: https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/luur/download?func=downloadFile&recordOId=2303165&fileOId=2303168

for a full sample document. 

Simpler example code and the module is on github: https://github.com/andythomas/TeX-sidenotes/tree/master/context

Cheers,
Andy

Nice work! Decent and nice design, good typesetting, I assume some hand 
work which of course cannot be avoided to make the result pleasing.

Just two remarks to the layout. Figure descriptions set in to the block 
(narrow column) produces too large spaces in the lines often. Ragged 
text would suit it better, I think.

Side notes set ragged left (rigth justyfied) on left pages are quite 
difficult to read, I would make them ragged right (left justified) on 
all pages and it would break the overall design at all.

Just wondering, why is Optima-Regular embeded so many times?

Regards,

Jano

thank you for the positive feedback. The example thesis has a lot of hand work. However, in the end I would like to have something that looks 95% instead of 100%, but fully automatic. Then, I could output the same text in different output formats (book, handouts for every chapter, e-reader, ...), tweaking every file would cost too much time.

> Just two remarks to the layout. Figure descriptions set in to the block (narrow column) produces too large spaces in the lines often. Ragged text would suit it better, I think.

Seven Thesis were made, so far, and everyone plays a little with the overall design to see how things look when tweaked a little. But justified is not ideal, I agree.

I guess you want to say [...]  it would [not] break the overall design at all ;) I like the look of ragged outer when just looking at a double page from far. It does make reading more difficult. I still cannot decide. In the end legibility should be more important, so ragged right is better like you said.

We wanted to have a sans serif font for the viewgraphs that matches the Palatino (orig. 1948). So we went for Optima (1952-1955 and also from Hermann Zapf). Wikipedia says "Optima's capitals (like Palatino's) are directly derived from the classic Roman monumental capital model [...]". I think, it does look good together. We also wanted a TeX Gyre font as main font, so that it is available on every system.

Aditya Mahajan contextified the github sources. It might be good to download the new stuff. Thanks for the help.

Sure, I wanted to say: "it would not break the overall design at all" :)

Of course a good choice, but I meant something different. When I have a 
look at the Properties of the document in the Adobe Reader or just list 
the fonts with "pdffonts" command on linux, then Optima-Regular is 
listed 141 times. Figure labels use sans serif, so I'm wondering why so 
many times the font is included.

There are many styles available on the context-garden site
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Sample_documents) which are really
helpful to help newcomers to learn how to define styles in context.
Wouldn't it be great to add tufte's and bringhurst's as extra
examples?

No, sorry, I had it in \setupnote like before; it works in  
\setupnotation, thank you.

I noticed this and this does also happen with \endnotes etc.

Did you use \setupnotation to change the counter setting?

\setupnotation[footnote][way=bypage]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\footnote{Footnote \recurselevel}\par}

Thank you for the example, I need the same, and my setup worked some  
months before, but ConTeXt (latest beta) seems broken in that regard:

- footnotes appear doubled in margin and in footer, even with  
"location=none" in both setups

- numbering is by document (at least not by page, if I setup  
"way=bypage")

All of the mechanisms are added at different times in the process to make from text a page.

Margindata (\inmargin etc.) is added to the line where you have it in your
and doesn’t move from this position but you prevent overlapping of two
different texts in the line with “stack=yes”.

Marginblocks are added after ConTeXt has finished the entire page.

As you can see in the example below it’s possible to have text
at different levels on the same position.

\setupmarginblock[color=green]

\setupnote    [footnote][location=none]
\setupnotation[footnote][color=blue]

\setuptexttexts
  [margin]
  []
  [{\framed[frame=off,height=\textheight,width=broad,offset=none,align=high]{\placenotes[footnote][before=]}}]

\starttext

\inright[color=red]{Paragraph 1}

\input knuth\footnote{Footnote 1}

\startmarginblock
\input ward
\stopmarginblock

\inright[color=red]{Paragraph 2}

\input knuth

\stoptext

Well, I am no powerful ConTeXt user, but \inmargin and derivatives
(\inouter \ininner \inright \inleft) have an option stack=yes to avoid
overlapping and stack=continue to avoid ... overlapping. As I understand
it, the former is for shorter margin notes, the latter for use with
paragraph-sized notes.

There is also \startmarginblock ... \stopmarginblock and it exceed my
ConTeXt user powers to be able to tell you the difference. My guess is,
that this type of margin note is a block, which maybe enjoys features of
textblocks...? But I, too, would be interested to understand the
difference in any detail.

I also use margin notes extensively (or at least hope the final version
of my document will be able to), but as of now, there seems to be no way
to float margin notes to the top/bottom of the page and no way to
prevent longer notes, attached to a line near the bottom of a page, to
exceed the margin and be typeset even beyond the page boundaries...
(Forgive me, if I'm wrong).

Is there some easy way to do tufte-style side note?

[Yue Wang]

Dear powerful ConTeXt users:

Is there some way to do tufte style side notes? I googled and did
found Wolfgang's solution
(http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20110906.202722.f501f115.en.html)
but it's just too simple and cannot be used for production. Side notes
will cluttered or fall out of pages.

LaTeX does provide a good solution for this style. I am wondering if
this is possible to do in context.

I am also curious to know simple way to do multiple float style in
ConTeXt (like graphics spanning text and margin and many others).
