disabling ligatures in selected words
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi, in German typography, ligatures are disabled at boundaries between what used to be independent words (Wortfugen). Thusly, in a correct German text, you'd find Anflug (with fl-ligature) but Auf|lage (without ligature). I know that I can prevent a ligature with something like Auf\/lage or even Auf|*|lage. However, I typeset from xml and would much rather have a general solution so I can leave my generated xml files alone. Something like a list where I could list "ligature exceptions" the way we have a file with hyphenation exceptions. Is anything like this possible? Thanks Thomas

Hello Hans, and so on! When there are different headers and footers in a chapter: 1. header: this is me. I write this in left and right pages. Then comes a subsection in this chapter 1.1 header: left side: this is my first chapter, right side : this is the second chapter. What have I to do then Uschi

[Bug report] TikZ + makeup + grid = blank page
by Paolo Brasolin 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

Hello. Consider the following MWE: \usemodule[tikz] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startstandardmakeup Not nothing. \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext The output consists of two pages, the first being an unexpected and undesired blank. Removal of either tikz, grid or makeup is sufficient to make the blank disappear. I am failing to see how these three interact. My versions: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2015.10.28 int: english/english The bug is reproduced also at live.contextgarden.net too Here is the related SE question: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/284972/tikz-causes-blank-page-in-fro… Can anyone explain the interaction or provide a workaround? Thanks. -Paolo

Switching to landscape
by Lukáš Procházka 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Hello, I have problem switching to landscape paper size (and landscape printing). Based on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PaperSetup I have: ---- \definepapersize[A4L][A4,landscape] \starttext Aaa \page %\setuppapersize[A4,landscape] \setuppapersize[A4L] Bbb \stoptext ---- But neither "\setuppapersize[A4,landscape]" nor "\setuppapersize[A4L]" works - still portrait paper orientation; so how to switch to landscape page orientation?

processing lua table in xml...
by Thomas A. Schmitz 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Dear all, I had asked a similar question some time ago and had received a reply from Hans (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/81049) but the method there doesn't work in this case. Working example difficult, hence code snippets, I'm afraid. I process file A.xml. I pull in stuff from file B.xml and store the result as a lua table: for e in xml.collected(xml.load('B.xml'), 'a') do for d in xml.collected(lxml.id(e), 'b') do local sortword = xml.attribute(b, "/", "xml:id", "0") local entryword = xml.text(b, "entry") local translation = xml.first(b, "translation") mytable[sortword] = { } mytable[sortword]["ew"] = entryword mytable[sortword]["tr"] = translation end end so the table contains the xml. The "translation" part contains further nested xml elements. Later, when processing A.xml, I want to retrieve this stored xml and have it processed: local checkword = xml.text(t, "c") local translation = mytable[checkword]["tr"] but whatever I try: lxml.flush(lxml.id(translation)) or xml.cprint(voktable[myword]["tr"]) or xml.cprint(translation) I always get the serialized xml typeset, but not processed. So: how can I get context to process the xml that is stored in the table? All best Thomas
