I'm not sure if indexing-feature in ConTeXt allow me to use English, Croatian and Sanskrit diacritics (not Devanagari) all in one document and define that I want e.g. that \'{s}, \d{s} has to be sorted under 'Š' ? In short, xindy allows one to define his own sort-rules. Mojca> It makes no sense to discuss distributing something before it can Mojca> be used with ConTeXt.) Right, that's why also asked "Now I'm interested how is support for Xindy in ConTeXt" hoping that the context-distribution list has enough knowledgeable people able to answer it.

Feature request: \digits command
by Morgan Brassel 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi everyone, The \digits command is really great when it comes to typeset numbers in different languages. However, I miss one functionality from the numprint package in latex: when you type for example $e-5$, you get 10^{-5} (with no dot in front of it). Would it be possible to add an option to \digits to reproduce this? Best wishes, Morgan

metafun
by Herbert Voss 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

It is a hard job to understand how all works ... I tried to create the first example of the documentation "Page 257 Anchors and layers", but failed with mkii and iv. The page is created, but without the graphical elements. Not using \startbuffer--\stopbuffer makes no difference. MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35 Herbert \starttext \section {Anchors and layers} \startbuffer[a] \setMPpositiongraphic{X-1}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-2} \setMPpositiongraphic{X-2}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-3} \stopbuffer \startbuffer[b] In a previous section we saw that some \hpos {X-1} {words} were \hpos {X-2} {circled} and connected by an \hpos {X-3} {arrow}. As with most things in \CONTEXT, marking these words is separated from declaring what to do with those words. This paragraph is keyed in as: \stopbuffer \getbuffer[a,b] \stoptext

Setting expansion depth limit for metapost
by Michal Suszko 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

I'm preparing quite long presentation -- nearly 3000 sides, 900 figures (500 distinct PNG files). I'm using ConTeXt MkIV installed using minimals (2010.03.12 19:49). Recently I'm hitting MetaPost capacity limit on expansion depth: !mplib : mp terminal: ! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [expansion depth=10000]. Increasing expand_depth in texmf.cnf and regenerating formats with context --make doesn't help. expansion depth is still at 10000 in error message. texmf.cnf in texmf-local I've changed is reported by context as first one in log line starting with "mkiv lua stats : used config path" What am I missing?

Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

Setting structureuservariable
by Felix Ingram 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hello all, I've discovered the magic of structureuservariabl and have therefore converted all my headings to use the start/stop syntax. It's raised a few quick questions though: 1. Is \startchapter \stopchapter etc the "proper way" to do things from now on? Or is it really just up to the user? 2. Is there a way to provide a default value for a structureuservariable? I'd like to set a reference number based on a global counter if the user doesn't supply their own. 3. In a similar vein - is it possible to define a reference for a section if the user doesn't provide one. E.g. if they provide \startchapter[title=My Example Chapter] instead of: \startchapter[chap:examplechapter][title=My Example Chapter] can I set the reference for them? (I will have some sections that could be usefully auto-referenced). Many thanks in advance, Felix

Q about hangaround commands
by Vladimir Lomov 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi. I'm trying to figure out the limitation of \start/stophangaround commands. 1. Is it correct that currently the figure could be placed only on left? If so is it easy to extend the command to allow placing figure at right side? 2. Is there way to increase/decrease the space between the text and image? 3. Is it correct that hangaround command is tricky hack that change normal flow? I prepare simple example (it is attached). 1) is obvious from the example (default behavior I assume). 3): I got the '2.' not on left side as 1) and 3) but on left side of text block right after image. Another example if 3): if I put empty line between \starthangaround and \input (see the file) then there would be mess. P.S. I tried the example with MkIV only. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov

colon in lucida math
by Meer, H. van der 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

I get the impression there is something wrong with typesetting math with the lucida setup in ConTeXt. I find that the \colon is not printed. Below is a minimal example. See the colon in the first formula that is absent in the second. Perhaps someone is willing to check if this is ConTeXt in general or my own setup in particular. In both cases I will be pleased with a remedy. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize [A6][A6] \starttext \start \setupbodyfont[lmodern] Using: \verbatim{\setupbodyfont[lmodern]}\par $K\colon\quad A\cdots Z$\par \stop \start \setupbodyfont[lucida] Using: \verbatim{\setupbodyfont[lucida]}\par $K\colon\quad A\cdots Z$\par \stop \stoptext

Lettrine misbehaving in beta
by Michael Guravage 23 Mar '12

Greetings, If you run the following example with the current beta you will see that the second and subsequent lines of the paragraph are pushed down below the extent of the drop cap. This behavior appeared sometime after 2011.10.24. Can anyone explain what is happening and suggest a solution? \usemodule[lettrine] \showgrid \def\myhook {\definefontsynonym[LettrineFont][eusm10]} \setuplettrine [Lines=5, FontHook={\red\myhook}, Findent=0.2em, Nindent=0.2em, Oversize=1.0, Hang=0.15] \setuplayout [grid=yes] \starttext \lettrine{W}{e thrive} in information||thick worlds because of our marvelous and everyday capacity to select, edit, single out, structure, highlight, group, pair, merge, harmonize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense, reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog, classify, list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate, discriminate, distinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over, sort, integrate, blend, inspect, filter, lump, skip, smooth, chunk, average, approximate, cluster, aggregate, outline, summarize, itemize, review, dip into, flip through, browse, glance into, leaf through, skim, refine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow the wheat from the chaff and separate the sheep from the goats. \stoptext With kind regards, Michael Guravage
