Problem with definelabel and footnotes
by Rik Kabel 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

I have a document with hundreds of labels generated by \definelabel. They are used to index quotations in the text. Some of these occur in notes. Previously I had all such notes at the end of the book, as endnotes, but an editor requested a version with the notes as traditional footnotes. When the notes with labels appear in footnotes, the labels are not printed. The MWE below demonstrates the problem. I would expect to see a red 2 at the end of the first line of the footnote. I have tried to use \defineenumeration instead of \definelabel, but I cannot get a comparable result to what I have with definelabel. Is this a bug in the footnote typesetting, or a problem with my expectations? \setuppapersize[A6] \definelabel [Qi][text=,alternative=inright,headcolor=red] \definenote [pagenote] \setupnotation [pagenote][way=bypage,numberconversion=set 2] \definenote [endnote] \setupnotation [endnote][way=bytext,location=none,conversion=numbers] \starttext {\Qi}An index in the margin.\par Text with a numbered endnote with an index\endnote{% {\Qi}The numbered endnote with its index.

Module for Markdown: any volunteer to make a ConTeXt interface?
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hi, There's a really nice module for processing markdown: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown that has been presented during the TUG meeting and is included in TeX Live. It theoretically works for ConTeXt (the output is perfectly usable), but it needs a cleanup of the user interface to turn the options on and off. For example, it would be nice to use something like \setupmarkdown [fencedCode=true] rather than \def\markdownOptionFencedCode{true} Is anyone willing to look into the code and help the author fix the interface? (I can add it to our distribution if needed.) Mojca

Hello everyone, As suggested by Wolfgang Schuster here : https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/087113.html , I have added on the wiki an example of a cover letter that has a similar style to Modern CV. You will find it here : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter_style#Modern_CV_like_cover_letter . I hope it can help. Cheers, Jonas Baggett

Tabulate containing high element
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hello, how to make tabulate row "aware" of some content of some "bigger" height? In the following sample: ---- \starttext \starttabulate[|pd(.4\textwidth)|p|] \HL \NC \framed[location=top,width=1in,height=1in]{Abc} \VL Def \NC\NR \HL \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- content of the \framed flows out of the height of the first row; I'd like the first row to have height of the highest element (here: the \framed - be 1 in). How to achieve this? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Tagging nested itemize with interaction
by Christoph Reller 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Dear Hans, Consider the following MWE with nested multi-column itemize and item label: \setuptagging[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \startitemize[n] \item[label] First \startitemize[a, columns] \item Second \item Third \stopitemize \stopitemize\crlf Bla \in{Item}[label]. \stoptext The above results in a PDF whose tag tree looks as follows: ‹document› |-‹itemgroup› itemize | |-<item> | | |-‹itemtag› | | | '-"1." | | '-‹itemcontent› | | |-"First" | | '-‹itemgroup› itemize | | |-‹item› | | | |-‹itemtag› | | | | '-"a." | | | '-‹itemcontent› | | | '-"Second" | | '-‹item› | | |-‹itemtag› | | | '-"b." | | '-‹itemcontent› | | '-"Third" | '-‹link› | '-"Item 1" |-"Bla" '-"." In this tag tree, the ‹link› item is placed wrongly inside the topmost ‹itemgroup›. It sould be located between "Bla" and ".". This happens only if: 1. An itemization with multiple columns is nested in an itemization 2. Interaction is enabled. I think this is a bug. Please consider fixing it. Kind regards, Christoph

Two requests for new btx subsystem
by Rik Kabel 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Two improvement requests for the new bibliography subsystem: 1. Tag titles (and subtitles) with the language explicitly provided in the bib entry. 2. Add editor and translator to fields supported in \cite[field][tag]. An example follows. It shows that the title generated by the \cite[title][tag] does not have an associated language, even though the bib entry specifies one and the publications manual indicates that this is intended for the rendering and hyphenation of the title. It is apparently used for that in the bibliography, but it is needed as well in the text. (And yes, /Formenwandlungen/ does have the same hyphenation points in both German and English; this was just a convenient example.) It also shows that [translator] is not inserted into the text. *NOTE* that when \cite[editor][tag] is attempted (and present in the bib entry) compilation halts with the Lua error no string to print, but continues to completion when allowed. \mainlanguage[en] \startbuffer[TestBib] @BOOK{Tschichold1953, author = {Jan Tschichold}, title = {Formenwandlungen der \&-Zeichen}, year = {1953}, publisher = {D. Stempelag}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, language = {german}, } @BOOK{Plaat1957, author = {Jan Tschichold}, translator = {Frederick Plaat}, title = {The Ampersand: Its origin and development}, year = {1957}, publisher = {Woudhuysen}, address = {London}, note = {Translation by F.\ Plaat of \cite{Tschichold1953}.}, } \stopbuffer \loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa] \usebtxdataset [TestBib] [TestBib.buffer] \definebtxrendering [TestBib] [apa] [dataset=TestBib] \setupspellchecking [state=start, method=3] \definecolor [word:de] [r=.85] \starttext \startparagraph \cite[title][TestBib::Plaat1957] is a translation by \cite[translator][TestBib::Plaat1957] of \cite[title][TestBib::Tschichold1953] by \cite[author][TestBib::Tschichold1953]. \stopparagraph \startparagraph {\it The Ampersand: Its origin and development} is a translation by Frederick Plaat of {\it\de Formenwandlungen der \&-Zeichen} by Jan Tschichold. \stopparagraph \blank[big] \placebtxrendering[TestBib][method=dataset] \stoptext -- Rik

luatex
by Hans Hagen 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Hi, Luigi and I are currently looking into Lua 5.3 in combination with LuaTeX. We have an experimental setup and all seems to work well, which given the new number model of Lua is good news. Depending on how we compile the binaries we either gain some speed or in the worst case loose half the performance but that will be sorted out one of these days as we know where to look. For most users the consequences will be minimal but for those who use a lot of Lua it makes sense to keep an eye on the subtle differences between 5.2 and 5.3 which is why I post this. For TeXLive we don't expect the switch before 2019 (so 2018 will ship two binaries with the 5.2 one the official one) but for the context distribution we will make the switch earlier so that we can test in real situations.

autopunctuation—semicolon key oddity
by Alan Bowen 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Using the “semicolon” key with a space before it does not work. Remove the space and it does. \starttext \setupmathematics[autopunctuation={all, semicolon}] \m{a;b}\quad \m{a,b}\quad\m{a.b}\quad\m{1;11}\quad \m{1,11}\quad\m{1.11} \setupmathematics[autopunctuation={all,semicolon}] \m{a;b}\quad \m{a,b}\quad\m{a.b}\quad\m{1;11}\quad \m{1,11}\quad\m{1.11} \stoptext Alan

substituting characters in math font
by Alan Bowen 29 Oct '17

29 Oct '17

I need to substitute the regular and italic characters of a publisher’s non-math font (Unicode) for those in a math font. The non-math addresses are: 0041-005A, 0061-007A %italic uppercase and lowercase 0391-03A9, 03B1-03C9 %slanted Greek uppercase and lowercase The math addresses are: 1D434-1D44D, 1D44E-1D467 %italic uppercase and lowercase 1D6E2-1D6FA, 1D6FC-1D714 %slanted Greek uppercase and lowercase Is there a way to use the \definefallbackfamily mechanism that does not assume that the characters have the same Unicode addresses? Or is some other approach required? Alan
