get the dimensions of xcell
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 May '17

08 May '17

Dear list, sorry for bothering you with this minor question, but this information is important for me. I have the following sample: \starttext \startxtable[option=stretch] \startxrow \startxcell \the\lineheight\stopxcell \startxcell how do I get the frame height?\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \the\textwidth\stopxcell \startxcell how do I get the frame width?\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext How can I get the height and the width of the xcell? I mean, is there a similar command for xcells or frames? Many thannks in advance, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Fwd: ANNOUNCE: pandoc scholar
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 08 May '17

08 May '17

Dear gang, This just in. Slightly off-topic, but in the wake of the recent markdown thread some of you may find this approach interesting or a source of ideas for doing something similar in ConTeXt. Best wishes Idris ------- Forwarded message ------- From: "Albert Krewinkel" <albert+pandoc(a)zeitkraut.de> To: pandoc-discuss(a)googlegroups.com Cc: Subject: ANNOUNCE: pandoc scholar Date: Mon, 08 May 2017 11:43:42 -0600 I'm happy to announce pandoc scholar, a tool and general effort to enable and promote the use of pandoc markdown as a format for scientific publishing <https://github.com/pandoc-scholar>. We developed conventions, lua scripts, and accompanying makefiles to make authoring of scientific articles as simple and comfortable as possible, enabling authors to semantically enrich their manuscripts with additional metadata. The corresponding manuscript has been published today in PeerJ CS: <https://peerj.com/articles/cs-112/>. The pandoc scholar utility was build with compatibility in mind, requiring only `pandoc` and `make`. Most computations are performed using lua scripts, using [panlunatic] to output the modified document as pandoc JSON. Makefiles are used to hide the additional complexity and to set sensible default options when calling pandoc. A styled html template, which makes use of the additional metadata fields, is provided as well. Any feedback is welcome. -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512

another question about markings
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 May '17

08 May '17

Aaaand here's another question about markings: how could I compare the value of the top/bottom (or first/last) markings and have the header change accordingly? Example attached, it doesn't do what I (naively) expected it to do. All best Thomas \setuppapersize [A5] \definemarking[Head] \startsetups Headersetup \doifelse{\expanded{\getmarking[Head][top]}}{\expanded{\getmarking[Head][bottom]}}{\getmarking[Head][top]}{\getmarking[Head][top] – \getmarking[Head][bottom]} \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[\texsetup{Headersetup}] \starttext \dorecurse{6}{\marking[Head]{Tufte}\input tufte\par} \dorecurse{6}{\marking[Head]{Knuth}\input knuth\par} \dorecurse{6}{\marking[Head]{Tufte}\input tufte\par} \stoptext

linenumbers in marking
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 May '17

08 May '17

Hi all, 5 years ago, on the mailing list, there was a thread started by Pablo Rodríguez (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg62140.html) about line numbers in headers. Wolfgang Schuster replied that in principle, it's possible to have line numbers in headers, "but it’s not usable because the numbers are always shown on the next page." He made the following example (which I have slightly adapted): \definemarking[linenumber] \define\LinenumberCommand {\normalexpanded{\setmarking[linenumber]{\linenumber}}} \setuplinenumbering[command=\LinenumberCommand] \startsetups linenumber \doiftext { \getmarking[linenumber] } { \getmarking[linenumber][top] – \getmarking[linenumber][bottom] } \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[\texsetup{linenumber}] \starttext \dorecurse{6}{\input tufte\par} \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par} \stoplinenumbering \resetmarking[linenumber] \dorecurse{6}{\input tufte\par} \stoptext Hans wrote: "currently it's not possible but it's no big deal to add that feature at some point." I have now a similar problem with markings in a header. Is there a solution to this? Could it be implemented now? Thanks, and best wishes Thomas

For a while now, when I connect to contextgarden.net, I get redirected to wiki.contextgarden.net// (note the double slash). Is it just me, or something to be fixed in the web site? Nicola

include google maps in context document
by DesdeChaves 05 May '17

05 May '17

Dear Sirs I need to justify my displacements from my school to the various companies where I have students in training. For this I must include in my report a gloogle maps image with the path and the distance covered. In the browse o found all the information that I need. For example, with an url address like: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Seattle&des… i get a json response, but not the google map image. If I try an address like this " https://www.google.pt/maps/dir/Chaves/Valpaços/" I found all information in the browser, but I need to include it in my context document report. Anybody know a simply way to make this work or this is a too hard task for now. Have a good night Thanks in advance Jorge

Dear Contexters, Since yesterday I have a font-problem. Until yesterday this would work perfectly: \usemodule[simplefonts][size=10pt] %voor mkiv \setmainfont[dejavuserif] %voor simplefonts The system fonts worked too. Yesterday I wanted to make a presentation with simpleslides. The fonts did not work. Then I tried complexslides. The modules work fine, the fonts do not. I then updated to the latest bèta: luatools — generate, context —generate, etc. No improvement. Through mtxrun —script fonts I can see which fonts are accessible to Context. There things are probably going wrong, yet I do not know what. It appears that Context does not find the local fonts, and the system fonts only partially. I work on OS X, Context versie: 2017.04.27 01:00 /Applications/ContextStandalone/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv Adjustments of texmf.cnf: /Applications/ContextStandalone/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf OSFONTDIR =.;~/Library/Fonts//;/System/Library/Fonts Thank you on beforehand for your help.

expansion in widgets
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hans, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \setupfield [TextSetup] [width=.5\textwidth, height=.5\textwidth, frame=off] \definefield [SomeField] [text] [TextSetup] [\input knuth] \field[SomeField] \stoptext Would it be possible to have expansion for widgets? It would be extremely useful and also similar to \enabledirectives[references.bookmarks.preroll] and \enabledirectives[interaction.identity.preroll]. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Custom sized delimiters vanish

Dear list, In TL2016 custom sized delimiters of \lvert and \rvert simply vanish. The same happens when I replace \lvert (or \rvert) by \vert and |. MWE is below. Cheers, Henri \starttext \startformula \left \lvert \frac{a}{b} \right\rvert \quad \Biggl\lvert \frac{a}{b} \Biggr\rvert \quad \biggl\lvert \frac{a}{b} \biggr\rvert \quad \Bigl \lvert \frac{a}{b} \Bigr \rvert \quad \bigl \lvert \frac{a}{b} \bigr \rvert \stopformula \stoptext
