ASCII input - non ASCII output
by Sava Maksimović 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi, Is there a way in context, that for some *text* ascii input (in source .tex file) define mapping in internal tex system ? For example, if i put two ascii characters "dj" in .tex file, can i get cyrillic character "ђ" in .pdf ? And so on, for input b, v, g, d, ... to get output б, в, г, д, ... Or more general, for every letter/string in unicode to define the way that it should be read. It's benefit for non ascii language users, because in that case they don't need to switch keyboard layout all the time between command, math input and text input. In Latex, package fontenc(precisely OT2 encoding) do that things. Minimal example: \starttext a, b, v, g, d, dj, e, zh, z \stoptext should produce a, б, в, г, д, ђ, е, ж, з Best regards, Sava Maksimovic (Сава Максимовић :) )

Dear list, I have this sample: \starttext \chapter{One} \index{one} \section{Two} \index{two} \subsection{Three} \index{three} \placeregister[index] \stoptext Is there any way to get section numbers in the index references instead of page numbers? I have searched in strc-reg-mkiv and i-context.pdf, but I don’t know how to do it (if it is possible). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

How to remove that "Oxford Comma" in a bibliography?
by Tobias Berndt 08 Nov '17

Dear List, since I am typesetting a German publication, I wanna get out the comma before and: R. Smith, F. Bauer, J. Faulkner, & J. Joyce (1966). Blabla ... and it should be: R. Smith, F. Bauer, J. Faulkner & J. Joyce (1966). Blabla ... My settings are more or less: \usebtxdataset[bla-publications.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] +++ \startchapter[reference=chap:7,title={Literaturverzeichnis}] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter +++ @Article{kri15, author = {B. Kriesche and R. Hess and B. Reichert and V. Schmidt}, journal = {Spatial Statistics}, pages = {15\,--\,30}, title = {A probabilistic approach to the prediction of area weather events, applied to precipitation}, volume = {12}, year = {2015}} +++ Any idea?

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, ASCII input - non ASCII output, Vol 161, Issue 13

Thanks for answers, I'm afraid, I didn't completely understand all of you about transliterating commands name. I don't want to do this. I don't want to translate or transliterate command names. I just want to transliterate *text* part of input. I can't split *commands and math* input from *text* input, because there is inline math and commands are all around . It is serious amount of switching. (ALT+ SHIFT keys), and when i'm thinking about what i should type(about subject) i forget to switch, and that's happening all the time. Mojca, for 'ž' i again have to switch keyboard. Also, Mojca probably the best understand what i want and that Serbian language can be written equally in latin and cyrillic script. Some people privately write in one script and some other people in another. So there is a lot of scripts in Serbia written in latin script. But official is CYR. ОТ2 doesn't transliterate commands--- just text --- and i'm able to type 'zh' and 'ж' in the same file and he knows what i want, both input characters he treats the same. Even more Babel understand that too, and hyphenate words according the rules define in cyr. > >

Arbitrary tag of displayed formula
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi! Is there a way to tag a displayed formula with arbitrary text? As far as I can remember it was possible to use \eqno before, but that does not seem to be the case anymore. For my use case I do not need the possibility to cite the equation, if that helps. I asked the same question at stackexchange (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/400257/tag-equation-in-context-with…), but was redirected here. I'm thinking of a minimal non-working example like: \startTEXpage[offset=2bp] \startformula 1+1=2\eqno{A} \stopformula \stopTEXpage /MIkael PS I use this when constructing exams. Then it is good to be able to put the points to the right. And sometimes this is done in displayed formulas. For an example of what I mean, made with LaTeX, see http://www.ctr.maths.lu.se/media/exams/funkteori/exam_2017-03-13.pdf

Thicker \cdot ?
by Weber, Matthias 07 Nov '17

07 Nov '17

Dear List, I am looking for a ConTeXt way to create a thicker \cdot (but not as thick as \bullet). Minimal non-example \starttext \startformula a \cdot[1mm] b \stopformula \stoptext does not accomplish anything useful…. Thanks - Matthias

bug updating the ConTeXt Suite?
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Dear list, after updating ConTeXt to latest beta, any invocation shows this error: ~/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin/mtxrun:633: attempt to index local 'searchers' (a nil value) This happens with "mtxrunjit --generate" or with "contextjit --version" (to name only two). Could anyone confirm this issue? (Backup your current beta first to avoid issues.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I manually updated linux, but all other platforms are still outdated from trunk. The tagged version doesn't compile at all (maybe it requires C++11?). There were some architectural changes and I'm not able to access some build machines, including an old Mac VM (I can create a new one locally, just not today). Yes , poppler needs c++11 (and the new lua 5.3 gcc 7.2.0) -- luigi

Dear Javier, There is a nice sample (‘FunnyFrame’ and ‘\FrameTitle’) which you can find in metafun manual.(metafun-p.pdf or metafun-s.pdf) I used it a lot with a little modification. I hope that is what you want. cheers, Dalyoung > 2017. 11. 5. 오후 8:00, ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl 작성: > > Subject: [NTG-context] framed with titles > Message-ID: <bb2fd6ca-0f8b-6955-9b17-a765ba489f8f(a)us.es <mailto:bb2fd6ca-0f8b-6955-9b17-a765ba489f8f@us.es>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > Hi, > > I'm trying to generate a frame with a title. > > My first idea is something like (ASCII Art): > > +- Title -------------+ > | Text text text text | > | more and more text | > +----------------------+ > > A frame with title breaking the top line . > > But I am not picky and something like beamer floating boxes (theorem, > proof, ...) for latex is good for me too. > > In wiki, the frames doesn't have title and I'm not sure about if I have > to fight with overlays, with MP and this is out of my league. > > Questions: > > * what is the way for implement a title in the frame? > > * Could you write a minimal example witch allows me to complete it for > my needs? > > Thanks. > > Javier M.

framed with titles
by Javier M Mora 05 Nov '17

05 Nov '17

Hi, I'm trying to generate a frame with a title. My first idea is something like (ASCII Art): +- Title -------------+ | Text text text text | | more and more text | +----------------------+ A frame with title breaking the top line . But I am not picky and something like beamer floating boxes (theorem, proof, ...) for latex is good for me too. In wiki, the frames doesn't have title and I'm not sure about if I have to fight with overlays, with MP and this is out of my league. Questions: * what is the way for implement a title in the frame? * Could you write a minimal example witch allows me to complete it for my needs? Thanks. Javier M. Mora
