bug: space before \stoptextbackground is lost
by Gou Lingfeng 28 May '21

28 May '21

Example: ----------------- \definetextbackground[placeholder][location=text,alternative=4] \starttext a. \startcolor[red]% b. \stopcolor c. \starttextbackground[placeholder]% d. \stoptextbackground e. f. \stoptext ----------------- In the output, there is no space before "e" and there is a space before "c". I'd expect spaces between neighbor sentences, whether textbackground is used or not, just like the usage of startcolor. Thanks, GOU Lingfeng

CGModules update: vim syntax highlighting version 2021.05.24 published.
by modules＠contextgarden.net 24 May '21

24 May '21

Aditya Mahajan submitted an update to the vim syntax highlighting package. Version number: 2021.05.24 License type: BSD License (simplified) Wants to be in ConTeXt distribution: yes Wants to be synced with CTAN: yes Summary description: This module uses Vim editor's syntax files to syntax highlight verbatim code in ConTeXt Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix release: * Fixes a bug where `--` was being translated to `Ã¢ÂÂ` in LMTX. The fix involved creating a new version of `syntax-highlighting` module for LMTX. The hyphenation options haven't been translated to LMTX yet. * Remove `--clean` flag from list of flags. This was introduced because an ealier version on neovim was still reading `.viminfo` files when called in `-i NONE`. However, the flag was added in the wrong location, so now custom `.vimrc` files were not being read (Reported and debugged by Nicola on the mailing list). Recent version of neovim seems to honor `-i NONE` option, so the `--clean` option was simply removed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
