meta-imp-txt.mkiv: EnglishRule
by Wolfgang Schuster 09 Sep '18

09 Sep '18

Hi, the height variable in the EnglishRule graphic needs an assignment, otherwise you get a error when there is a previous graphic which also use height as a variable name. meta-imp-txt.mkiv: \startuniqueMPgraphic{EnglishRule}{height,width,color} - height = \MPvar{height} ; + height := \MPvar{height} ; x1 = 0 ; x3 = \MPvar{width} ; x2 = x4 = .5x3 ; y1 = y3 = 0 ; y2 = -y4 = height/2 ; fill z1..z2..z3 & z3..z4..z1 & cycle withcolor \MPvar{color} ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic Example (the graphic for the title page in the module documentation uses height as variable): \usemodule[module-basic] \useMPlibrary[txt] \startdocument \useMPgraphic{EnglishRule} \stopdocument Wolfgang

Hi Hans, the two argument version of the \symbol commands needs an additional branch to support the new symbol mechanism which is used with fontawesome. \unprotect % \def\symb_place_normal_a[#1][#2]% % {\edef\currentsymbol{#2}% % \ifcsname\??symbol#1:#2\endcsname % \symb_place_indeed{#1:#2}% % \else % \symb_place_normal_c % \fi} \def\symb_place_normal_a[#1][#2]% {\edef\currentsymbol{#2}% \ifcsname\??symbol#1:#2\endcsname \symb_place_indeed{#1:#2}% \else\ifcsname\??symboldefault#1\endcsname \symb_place_named{#1}% \else \symb_place_normal_c \fi\fi} \protect \usesymbols[fontawesome] \starttext % doesn’t work untill you set fontawesome as global symbolset \symbol[fontawesome][thumbs_down_alt] \setupsymbolset[fontawesome] \symbol[thumbs_up_alt] \stoptext Wolfgang

User defined environments with parameters
by Wolfgang Schuster 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hi, sometimes one needs a environment where you have to set different strings. While we have \definestartstop to create new environments it doesn’t provide a mechanism to pass values to the environment. Attached is a prototype for such a environment where you can pass values (only style, color and alternative are reserved keys) and create own layouts for the content of each environment. Wolfgang

A Note for module authors: Version String Guidelines
by Taco Hoekwater 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi to all module authors! The CTAN team (Manfred) and us (Mojca and I) have recently been setting up a new system whereby CTAN automatically picks up new, updated versions of the ConTeXt modules that want to be archived on CTAN. For this system to properly pickup new versions of modules, it is vital that the Version of such modules is coded as YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY-MM-DD. The YYYY.MM.DD format has a slight advantage, because it follows the traditional version number setup of <Major>.<Minor>.<Revision>, but the version with dashes works as well. So, if you are a module author on https://modules.contextgarden.net/ and want to benefit from this automatic update of the your new module version to CTAN, then please make sure your version string matches the above specification. Version strings like “r10” and "hg-rev57” cannot be parsed automatically, so any module updates you make using such version strings will more than likely be ignored. Best wishes, Taco
