[NTG-context] Bug in \startdocument
Dear devs, It is really convenient to set PDF metadata in \startdocument, however I noticed that there is a bug. The PDF subject is not set using metadata:subject but with metadata:subtitle. This is not a big issue by itself but merely a little confusing. What’s worse is that using metadata:subject throws an error which is completely unexpected at this point. Below you find the error message and a MWE to reproduce. --- ! Undefined control sequence \c!subject =\documentvariable {metadata:subject} --- \setupinteraction[state=start] \startdocument [ metadata:subject={Subject}, ] Hello World! \stopdocument ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

This workaround leads to the depth being rounded down in the example below which produces a more balanced output. Could this somehow be made the default behaviour or something?

That does not work for me (with any of many method and transparency values). The ‘?’ is solid black. I do see a message in the log that looks related: mkiv lua stats > page group warning: transparencies are used but no pagecolormodel is set but adding \setcolors[state=start,cmyk=yes] does not change that; both the warning and the solid black glyph remain. Could this be an issue of the PDF viewer? Is it a font issue? Okay, I got a clean compile using \definecolor and referencing that in the MP page. \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] \definecolor[Transp][r=1,t=0,a=12] \definefont [DVSrB] [file:DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf] \startuseMPgraphic{HeartTest 1} picture h,q ; h := "♥" infont "\truefontname{DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf}" scaled 20 ; q := textext("{\DVSrB ?}") scaled 10 ; q := q shifted - (xpart center q, 12pt) ; draw h withcolor blue ; draw q withtransparency(12,0) ; draw q shifted (72pt,0) withtransparency(12,0) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \startuseMPgraphic{HeartTest 2} picture h,q ; h := "♥" infont "\truefontname{DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf}" scaled 20 ; q := textext("\color[Transp]{\DVSrB ?}") scaled 10 ; q := q shifted - (xpart center q, 12pt) ; draw h withcolor blue ; draw q ; draw q shifted (72pt,0) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \useMPgraphic{HeartTest 1} \useMPgraphic{HeartTest 2} \stoptext Unfortunately, the result is not what I want. The result is that the “?” disappears, allowing the color directly behind it to show through. The example above shows that it works with \definecolor but not withwithtransparency. I have no idea why, and certainly realize it could be my error. What I want is that the background of the page (yellow in this case) should show through. That is what is done with fill / reverse / cycle, as in: \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] \startuseMPgraphic{CircleTest} path p,q ; p := fullcircle scaled 2cm ; q := fullcircle scaled 1cm ; fill p -- reverse q -- cycle withcolor blue; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \useMPgraphic{CircleTest} \stoptext where the background color (yellow) comes through the inner circle (path q). Can this be done with text characters?
