Language settings / French / quotation marks
by Tomas Hala 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Hi all, greetings from BachoTeX. With Jean-Michel, we found out that there is the unsuitable setting for French nested quotation marks in lang-def.mkiv (TL 2018): \c!leftquote=\leftguillemot, \c!rightquote=\rightguillemot, After discussion (also with Damian) the better and most frequently used setting should be the following: \c!leftquote=\upperleftdoublesixquote, \c!rightquote=\upperrightdoubleninequote, %%%%%% \installlanguage [\s!fr] [\c!spacing=\v!packed, \c!leftsentence=\emdash, \c!rightsentence=\emdash, \c!leftsubsentence=\emdash, \c!rightsubsentence=\emdash, \c!leftquote=\upperleftdoublesixquote, \c!rightquote=\upperrightdoubleninequote, \c!leftquotation=\leftguillemot, \c!rightquotation=\rightguillemot, \c!date={\v!day:mnem,\v!space,\v!month,\v!space,\v!year}] %%%%%% Would somebody check it and change it in newer versions? The best, Tomáš

Add headcommand to floatcaption

Dear Hans, Could you please add the possibility to switch the headcommand to floatcaption? Below you can find a simple patch that implements what I am proposing.

\textrule and Bidi

Hi, in RTL text direction the middle and bottom alternatives of \textrule extend into the right margin. \setupalign[righttoleft] \starttext \textrule[top]{} \textrule[middle]{} \textrule[bottom]{} \stoptext A fix for this is to use \naturalvpack instead of \vpack. %%%% pack-mrl.mkiv \def\pack_textrule_with_text_nop#1% {\ifhmode \endgraf \fi \doifelse{\directtextrulesparameter\c!depthcorrection}\v!on \pack_textrule_correct_depth_yes \pack_textrule_correct_depth_nop \nointerlineskip - \noindent\vpack % was \dontleavehmode + \noindent\naturalvpack % was \dontleavehmode {\color[\directtextrulesparameter\c!rulecolor] {\hrule \s!depth \directtextrulesparameter\c!rulethickness \s!height\zeropoint \s!width \availablehsize}}} %%%% Wolfgang

Inner/outer alignment resets text direction
by Wolfgang Schuster 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hi, when inner/outer alignment of paragraphs is used in a doublesided document with the text direction from RTL, the direction is changed back to LTR starting with the second page. The reason for this is the \signalinnerrealign (or \signalouterrealign) command. %\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \signalinnerrealign % is used in doublesided documents \setupalign[inner,righttoleft] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\samplefile{weisman}\page} \stoptext Wolfgang

\setupalign[flushinner]
by Wolfgang Schuster 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Hi, the results of the inner and flushinner (and also outer and flushouter) keywords for \setupalign are reversed compared to MkII. I guess this happened when the code was rewritten. Attached are results from the following example in MkII and MkIV. \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \starttext \startbuffer \startalignment[left] \input ward \stopalignment \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \page \startbuffer \startalignment[flushleft] \input ward \stopalignment \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \page \startbuffer \startalignment[inner] \input ward \stopalignment \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \page \startbuffer \startalignment[flushinner] \input ward \stopalignment \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \page \stoptext Wolfgang

[MPtoPDF] Bug and fix for file pattern
by Andreas Scherer 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Dear list, after a discussion on the texlive mailing list, I was directed to "upstream" ConTeXt garden. so bear with me. Following the canonical MetaPost manual (https://tug.org/docs/metapost/mpman.pdf) I amended the example file "conoscopy.mp" (from http://matagalatlante.org/nobre/down/featpost/MPexamples.html) with the initial line outputtemplate := "%j-%c.mps"; Running this through "mptopdf conoscopy.mp" fails with the error message MPtoPDF 1.4.1 : no filename matches conoscopy Karl Berry immediately found counter-examples for my initial tries to fix this (in the context (sic!) of TeX Live), but after some consideration I believe to have found a generic solution for "mptopdf[.pl]" that copes well with both the default output filename format of MetaPost and the alternative template above (and possibly others, as long as there's a "%c" part present). Attached is a modified version of TL's "mptopdf" that works well on MacTeX (Live 2019) for your consideration. After the internal MetaPost run, the intermediate logfile is scanned for the "output file(s) written:" message, from which the actual "@files" list is deduced. The (first) numerical part is replaced with "*" for the following file "glob"bing. Regards,Andreas Scherer
