Problem loading a DLL with the latest Ctx beta
by Akira Kakuto 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

> Any way to re-enable user DLL loading into ConTeXt, even > in the future, would be appreciated... I have just uploaded dynamically linked luatex and luajittex. I hope that you can again load your lua DLL modules in a few days. Further, standard C functions can be used in ffi without loading a C DLL. For example, my previous example can be changed as follows: % % context test.tex % \starttext \placeformula \startformula j_1(2.387) = \startluacode local ffi = require("ffi") ffi.cdef[[ double _j1(double x); ]] tex.print(ffi.C._j1(2.387)) \stopluacode \stopformula \stoptext Best, Akira

Choosing STIX stylistic sets
by Hans Åberg 16 Apr '17

16 Apr '17

With the STIX Two fonts [1-2], one can choose say Stylistic Set 8 <ss08> for more upright integrals. How is that done in ConTeXt with XITS? 1. https://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/ 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIX_Fonts_project#STIX_2.0.0

\hyphenation command in TL 16
by Florian Grammel 16 Apr '17

16 Apr '17

The \hyphenation{}-command is ignored in the texlive 2016 version (ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV). This has obviously been fixed since, as it works in the standalone. For other reasons I’d prefer to keep working with the TL16-version -- is it possible to patch the hyphenation easily in TL 16? Thanks in advance! Best, Florian. ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

location of command reference
by Meer, Hans van der 16 Apr '17

16 Apr '17

Where is the handy Command Reference to be found in the beta distribution? I do not see it in ./tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals and could not spot it elsewhere. This is but an old one [cid:DC85F3AF-C98C-4991-8D72-D1B7A5E32800] . Hans van der Meer

Finding OSX fonts
by Meer, Hans van der 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I tried in vain to list the MacOSX fonts in mtxrun. In my .bashrc set: OSFONTDIR=$HOME/Library/Fonts:/Library/Fonts:/System/Library/Fonts export OSFONTDIR Then issuing the following commands: source ~/.bashrc echo $OSFONTDIR /Users/hansm/Library/Fonts:/Library/Fonts:/System/Library/Fonts mtxrun --script fonts --list pattern="Comic*" --all resolvers | trees | analyzing '/Users/hansm/Documents/TeX/texmf' identifier familyname fontname filename subfont instances Allthough there are definitely Comic fonts (such as Comic Sans MS.ttf) in directory /Library/Fonts these are not listed by mtxrun. What is happening, or better, not happening here? Hans van der Meer

\xmldoifelse false condition
by Gerard Keiser 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I am trying to select specific elements from an XML document to make anthologies, and still retain the original numbering, by using \xmldoifelse; if the node matches, it is printed, and if it is not, the head number is incremented, to get something like this: 1 First Section (first match) 4 Fourth Section (second match, but fourth element in the XML file) But the fail condition is not being triggered properly. Here are the files: % % anthologize.xml % \def\incrementheadnumber[#1]{\setupheadnumber[#1] [\numexpr\namedheadnumber{#1}+1\relax]} \startxmlsetups xml:selectivity:* \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{stuff|div|head}{xml:selectivity:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{selectivity}{xml:selectivity:*} % Here is the difficulty. \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:stuff} \xmldoifelse{#1}{/div[match()==1 or match()==4]/all()} { \xmlflush{#1} } { \incrementheadnumber[section] } \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:div} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:head} \startsection[title={\xmlflush{#1}}]\stopsection \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessfile{selectivity}{bob.xml}{} \stoptext % % bob.xml % <stuff> <div> <head>First Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Second Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Third Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Fourth Section</head> </div> </stuff> The result is that only the first and fourth heads are printed, as desired, but I end up with: 1 First Section 2 Fourth Section. I have used the \incrementheadnumber function elsewhere, and it works fine. If I replace \incrementheadnumber[section] with \xmlflush{#1}, it prints: 1 First Section 2 Fourth Section 3 First Section 4 Second Section 5 Third Section 6 Fourth Section So it seems to be properly triggering the true condition, but not the false condition, and I cannot figure out how to fix it. Using ConTeXt 2017.04.08 and LuaTeX 1.0.3. I do thank you for your help. Sincerely, Gerard Keiser

Inline stacking of text
by Pavneet Arora 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Really simple problem that has had me bashing my head for a while, so I thought that I would reach out and ask for help: I need to create large type title/sub-title combinations in-line. I need the sub-titles to be stacked so that they share the same baseline as the title. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the baseline alignment to work. Also, I seem to have to add the '\setupwhitespace[-1.0em] to squish the lines together. Is there a better way? Appreciate any guidance. advTHANKSance. MWE--8<---- \setuppapersize[letter,portrait] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Latin Modern] \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Latin Sans] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm][Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface,80pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.2ex] \setupwhitespace[none] \starttext \definedfont[Sans at 50pt]{TITLE---}% \framed[frame=off,location=middle,align=flushleft]{% \definedfont[Sans at 25pt]\setupinterlinespace\setupwhitespace[-1.0em]{SUB-TITLE\\ SUB-TITLE}}% \stoptext ----->8---- -- Pavneet Arora m: +1 (647) 406-6843 Waroc Informatik t: +1 (416) 937-9276

\language[is] not working
by Florian Grammel 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

The Icelandic hyphenation and language settings, though present in the installation (lang-is.lua), don’t seem to work on ConTeXt ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV current fmt: 2017.3.21 I’ve tried both \language[is] / \language[icelandic] and \mainlanguage[is] but the result is identical to English. Other languages (fr, ru, de) work as expected. Thanks in advance! ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark
