Last version standalone ConTeXt issue.
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Hello ConTeXist. In the latest version ConTeXt it stopped working my macros which contents function he once advised me Taco. It is low level lua code. Can anyone advise me what the problem is, eventually. how to replace Lua code in my function to make it work again? Macros worked at least 6 years and now crashes. Here is my function: function thirddata.handlecsv.texmacroisdefined(macroname) -- check whether macroname macro is defined in ConTeXt -- function is used to test whether the user has defined the macro \macroname. If not, it needs to define any default value if token.csname_name(token.create(macroname)) == macroname then return true else return false end end Is there any alternative (ConTeXt like), which is should be possible use in Lua code? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

Taking extensible math accents from fallback font
by Aditya Mahajan 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Hi, Is it possible to take particular math accents from the fallback font. In praticular, I want to use NeoEuler as the math font, but want the \widehat and \widetilde accents to be taken from Pagella. This is because the widetilde accent of neo euler does not change the the size of the glyph. Until that is fixed, using the accent from another font is a stopgap solution. Thanks, Aditya

annotated text: main text in narrower text, annotations on the right
by MF 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hello list, I need a feature like the one described in http://www.pragma-ade.nl/gen eral/magazines/mag-1102-mkiv.pdf for annotated verbatim, but for normal text. Think about the main text flowing in a narrower text, with the annotations (like unnumbered sidenotes) in a widened right margin. Or think about a right margin moved left locally, as long as you need annotated text. Thanks, Massi

Dear list, There is a way to prevent hyphenation to occur on a apostrophe "L'-...", and also on proper noun? \language[fr] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] \setupalign[stretch,verytolerant] --- L’un des critiques, Dean Farrar, écrivit : « L’- histoire n’a jamais entendu parler d’un roi Belt- schatsar. » --- Thanks!

\blank[force, halfline] at top page issue
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 01 Oct '16

01 Oct '16

Dear list, I think this issue has been already reported (or a similar one http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg77729.html) but not resolved. It seems that if \blank[force, etc … is first in page there is additional spacing due to topskip. I’ve checked that this unwanted spacing disappears if topskip is set to 0, but I doubt it’s really good idea to mess up with this low level TeX setting (or is it good idea ?). Moreover browsing the spac-ver.* files I noticed the existence of a no_topskip mechanism which I guess would allow to remove (in lua code) the topskip glue node but there is no way to enable this from \blank command or at least could not figure it out. Is there an easy way to enable this no topskip feature ? Alternative I found is to use a \vbox etc… but wondered if there were some simpler way using \blank. Thanks, Best regards Joseph Canedo MWE : \setuplayout[grid=both] % not really needed \showgrid \starttext \blank[force, halfline] HalfLine \blank[halfline] Text \stoptext

appendices disregards page method
by Henri Menke 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Dear list, when I'm starting a new chapter I want it to start on a recto page and if a page without text has to be inserted to fulfil this requirement it should be completely blank (no headers of footers). It was easy to achieve using \definepagebreak and setting the page method of the chapter (see MWE). However, when I switch to the appendix, this page method is disregarded and the preceding page is _not_ blank. In my MWE below, page 12 should actually be completely blank, i.e. no page number. How can this be achieved? Cheers, Henri --- \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definepagebreak [chapterpagebreak] [yes,header,footer,right] \setuphead [chapter] [page=chapterpagebreak] \starttext \startchapter[title={One}] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Two}] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Three}] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \startappendices \startchapter[title={Four}] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Five}] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopchapter \stopappendices \stoptext

Quadruple integrals

The example below compiles with latest ConTeXt, suggesting that the Unicode quadruple symbol ⨌ has not been registered as a math symbol, as the command it is set to is ignored. \setupbodyfont[xits,10pt] \setupmathematics[integral=nolimits, lcgreek=normal, default=normal] \appendtoks \catcode`∫=\activecatcode \letcharcode `∫ \int \catcode`∬=\activecatcode \letcharcode `∬ \iint \catcode`∭=\activecatcode \letcharcode `∭ \iiint \catcode`⨌=\activecatcode \letcharcode `⨌ \undefined \to \everymathematics \starttext \startformula ⨌_𝐴 𝑓(𝑥)\, d𝑥 = ∫_𝐵 ∭_𝐶 𝑓(𝑡, 𝒙)\, d𝑡 d𝒙 \stopformula \stoptext

box width to fit longest line of text
by Csikos Bela 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Dear context users: I'd like to handle a block of text with 2 or more lines where the block width should be equal to the longest line in the block. I'd like the lines be center aligned in the block. Something like this: line1 second longerline another line In latex I can do it using parbox like this: \parbox{\widthof{second longerline}}{\centering{}line1\\second longerline\\another line} How can achieve the same or similar in context? Thanks in advance, bcsikos
