[OT] Using ConTeXt to generate Minecraft maps (& asking for votes to get to NASA)
by Mojca Miklavec 11 May '16

11 May '16

Hi, TL;DR: please vote for eXoCraft at https://2016.spaceappschallenge.org/vote (We only need a few hundred votes to get to the final five: one vote per person per day until the end of the week; the team with most votes gets an invitation to NASA.) ------------------------- Background: It all started with a wonderful BachoTeX conference and users frustrated by inaccurate maps and unable to find their huts after the bonfire was over at 3 am. http://www.gust.org.pl/bachotex/ So some people took the GPS, mapped the area and entered the data into OpenStreetMaps. Some years back I challenged Hans to let ConTeXt draw a nice map using lua & xml & metapost combined. Here's the result: http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014/programme.shtml http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2014/talks/2014-09-12-mojca-maps/OpenStree… Meanwhile we also came up with http://www.gust.org.pl/bachotex/bachotex-promo/bachotex-site-color.png This year we took the existing map-generating sources to the next level. Since Hans' nephew is a great lover of MineCraft, we helped him build the foundations for creating a geographically accurate BachoTeX map in Minecraft while enjoying the wonderful conference. Using ConTeXt of course! (Preview is available here: https://github.com/mojca/bachotex-maps/tree/master/minecraft/google-maps/ba…, but you need to clone the project first to view in offline and please note that the map project is not finished yet.) Now, this last step has only been possible due to some wonderful team-mates and an event that happened one week before BachoTeX. This was the team effort: https://2016.spaceappschallenge.org/challenges/solar-system/open-world-gene… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmM1DqG4dTE The project actually got us to the top-25 in the world and the winner (based solely on the number of votes) gets a trip to NASA. I'm not claiming that what we could learn and do in one day and a half is super special, but we would be grateful for any votes ... Thank you, Mojca

alternate to font feature file for glyph substitution ?
by jfbu 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hi, how should I go at the Plain TeX level about implementing the following glyph substitution which I formerly expressed in a font feature file: languagesystem DFLT dflt; languagesystem latn dflt; feature oneb { sub one by one.ss01; } oneb; The font is Vollkorn, a Plain LuaTeX file which worked in TL2015 would be \input luaotfload.sty \font\x="Vollkorn:script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;featurefile=vollkornlua.fff;+oneb;" \x 123 \bye % Local Variables: % TeX-engine: luatex % End: The glyph for digit 1 is modified and picked in stylistic set 1. I don't want to globally switch to that stylistic set, I am only interested into digit 1. My use case is more with LuaLaTeX+fontspec, but if I am explained a Plain LuaTeX approach I can at least forward to Will Robertson who maintains fontspec and cross my fingers that it trickles down back to me at some point via update of fontspec, or luatex, or luaotfload, ... Please CC to me as although I asked for (temporary) list inscription I might not yet be registered. I am aware of https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/083952.html but can't work it out from there. Jean-François

issue with # in url

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] <doc> Link not working: <a href="http://a.b/c#d">http://a.b/c#d</a> Link not working: <a href="http://a.b/c">http://a.b/c#d</a> Working link: <a href="http://a.b/c#d">http://a.b/c</a> </doc> \stopbuffer \starttext \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p|doc|a}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{span[@label]}{xml:logo} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:a \mypersonalurl{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \setupinteraction[state=start] \def\mypersonalurl#1{\bgroup\tt\goto{% \hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]\egroup}% \unexpanded\def\href#1#2{\goto{#2} [url(#1)]} \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Latest beta from 2016.05.08 17:30 doesn’t generate a clickable link with the first two paragraphs. It seems to be caused by the presence of # in the url. The latest beta I have that generates three clickable links is 2016.01.14 09:55 (using LuaTeX-0.87.0). >From beta 2016.02.01 13:26 (and LuaTeX-0.88.0) the first two links aren’t interactive. And this beta included a wrong rendering from # as "\Ux {23}". The wrong # conversion was corrected in beta from 2016.02.15 10:26 (and LuaTeX-0.89.0), but links weren’t made interactive. I hope the description helps. Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

headline and no indent
by Andrea Valle 09 May '16

09 May '16

Dear all, I’m finishing a book in ConTeXt. The publisher is pretty happy with the results. But he asks me: When opting for paragraph indents, paragraphs following directly after a headline should no show the indent. I guess that the first line of chapter/section/subsection should have no indent. Hmm, how to get this? For chapter/section/subsection I have e.g. \setuphead[chapter] [style=\ss\tfc, before={\blank[1cm]\startframedtext[width=local, foregroundcolor=black, background=color, backgroundcolor=bgGrey1, framecolor=bgGrey2,offset=0.25cm, rulethickness=0.05cm, frame=off, topframe=on, bottomframe=on]\crlf},after={\stopframedtext\blank[4cm]}] Is there an available option to be set?

Handling Optical Sizes for Minion Pro in Context (LuaTeX)
by Antoine Cailliau 09 May '16

09 May '16

Hi, I'm continuing my quest for supporting Minion Pro font in my document. I defined the different sizes, as shown on contextgarden. But apparently, it does not (fully) work. The problems are : - When using \tfxx, \tfx, ... Regular font is always used, there is no switch to appropriate font. - When using \switchtobodyfont, switches are correct up to 12pt. After that, it fallback on xits-mathbold Any help is welcome :-) The compiled file : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwo7pPA5_WkDdlNLbHdkMjg2dkU/view?usp=shari… The source: \definefontalternative[me] ... \starttypescript [serif] [optical] [size] % design size 8 pt, size range (6 pt, 8.4 pt] \definebodyfont [4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt] [rm] [tf=SerifCaption sa 1, it=SerifCaptionItalic sa 1, me=SerifCaptionMedium sa 1, mi=SerifCaptionMediumItalic sa 1, se=SerifCaptionSemiBold sa 1, si=SerifCaptionSemiBoldItalic sa 1, bf=SerifCaptionBold sa 1, bi=SerifCaptionBoldItalic sa 1] % design size 11 pt, size range (8.4 pt, 13 pt] \definebodyfont [9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt] [rm] [tf=SerifRegular sa 1, it=SerifRegularItalic sa 1, me=SerifRegularMedium sa 1, mi=SerifRegularMediumItalic sa 1, se=SerifRegularSemiBold sa 1, si=SerifRegularSemiBoldItalic sa 1, bf=SerifRegularBold sa 1, bi=SerifRegularBoldItalic sa 1] % design size 19 pt, size range (13 pt, 19.9 pt] \definebodyfont [14.4pt,17.3pt] [rm] [tf=SerifSubhead sa 1, it=SerifSubheadItalic sa 1, me=SerifSubheadMedium sa 1, mi=SerifSubheadMediumItalic sa 1, se=SerifSubheadSemiBold sa 1, si=SerifSubheadSemiBoldItalic sa 1, bf=SerifSubheadBold sa 1, bi=SerifSubheadBoldItalic sa 1] % design size 72 pt, size range (19.9 pt, 72 pt] \definebodyfont [20.7pt] [rm] [tf=SerifDisplay sa 1, it=SerifDisplayItalic sa 1, me=SerifDisplayMedium sa 1, mi=SerifDisplayMediumItalic sa 1, se=SerifDisplaySemiBold sa 1, si=SerifDisplaySemiBoldItalic sa 1, bf=SerifDisplayBold sa 1, bi=SerifDisplayBoldItalic sa 1] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [minionpro] \definefontsynonym [SerifRegular] [file:MinionPro-Regular.otf] [features=default] ... \stoptypescript \definetypeface [source] [rm] [serif] [minionpro] [optical] \definetypeface [source] [mm] [math] [xits] [default] \setupbodyfont[source, 11pt] \starttext ... \page {\tfxx \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} {\tfx \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} {\tf \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} {\tfa \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} {\tfb \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} {\tfc \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} {\tfd \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} \page \dostepwiserecurse {6} {22} {1} {\switchtobodyfont[#1pt] \purefontname\font: \input ward \blank} \stoptext

Enumerations
by Henman 08 May '16

08 May '16

I am using the 'repeat' directive to cause itemizations to display upper level numbers as well as lower ones, but, sometimes I want to put it on hold and just display a simple alpha enumeration For example at the third level. I can't see how to turn off the repeat. 1 1.1 1.2 a. For example here I just want the alphabetical enumerators. / b. 1.3 2. /

Define font based on language
by Michal Ondrejáš 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hello I need some help regarding font definitions. The situation is like this: \definefont [issuefont] [SansRegular at 14pt] .... {\issuefont \labeltext{issue} \crlf \documentvariable{issue}} I need to get chinese text into the issue variable, but for that I need to change the font. I need something like this: \def\chooseissufont{% \translate [zh={Sim Sun}, en={SansRegular}]} \definefont [issuefont] [\chooseissuefont at 14pt] Using "zh" is ok, I managed to somehow make ConTeXt accept the "zh" language code. It's not perfect but it's for another topic. I get the text in this way, but the sizing doesn't work. The text is too small in all languages. Any dieas Thank you, Michal

Vertical align in side by side paragraphs
by Tom Harrop 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hello, How can I make both/all columns in a paragraphs environment align flush bottom, e.g. for addressing a letter? I saw a line in the manual about using top=\vfill but I couldn’t get this to work. Should I be using TABLE here? Thanks (again), Tom \starttext \defineparagraphs[Par] [n=2, before={\blank}, after={\blank}] \setupparagraphs[Par][1] [align=flushleft] \setupparagraphs[Par][2] [align=flushright] \startPar \vfill % I hoped this would push bob’s address down Bob’s name \crlf Company \crlf Bob’s street \crlf Bob’s town \crlf Bob’s country \Par My street \crlf My town \crlf My country \blank My phone number \blank Today's date \stopPar Dear Bob, Blah blah blah \stoptext
