Hello ConTeXters, is there a way how to get laundry symbols into ConTeXt? - The image is copied from "The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List", Scott Pakin. TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

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

halign broken
by Meer, H. van der 16 May '16

16 May '16

There seems something very much amiss with \halign in later ConTeXt versions. This typesets fine in PlainTeX and is an example taken from a textbook. \tabskip=1em\halign{% \hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#\hfil&#&\hfil#\crA&B&C&D\cr} Also in contextversion 2012.05.30 (from a TeXlive distribution). But it fails at least in ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.20 10:34 MKIV and in ConTeXt ver: 2013.04.16 12:08 MKIV beta with the following error ! Only one # is allowed per tab. system > tex > error on line 5 in file fixedwidth.tex: Only one # is allowed per tab ... 1 \starttext 2 contextversion=\contextversion\par 3 \tabskip=1em 4 \halign{% 5 >> \hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#\hfil&#&\hfil#\cr 6 A&B&C&D\cr} 7 \stoptext l.5 \hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil# \hfil&#&\hfil#\cr Why? How primitive it may be, I would like to use \halign now and then. Hans van der Meer

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.

next beta
by Hans Hagen 16 Apr '15

Hi The next beta will have this (I needed it for a manual): \starttext \starttabulate[||CL{darkred}|CM{darkgreen}CT{white}|CR{darkblue}||] \NC first \NC left \NC middle \NC right \NC last \NC \NR \NC first \NC \color[white]{left} \NC middle \NC \color[white]{right} \NC last \NC \NR \NC first \NC left \NC middle \NC right \NC last \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext i.e. we already had CL CM and CR, so CT is new .. should be wikified.
