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

Missing Chapter Numbers
by Thangalin 22 Oct '17

22 Oct '17

\setuphead[chapter][number=yes,] \setuphead[section][number=no,] \setuphead[subsection][placehead=hidden,] \definehead[scenesubsection][subsection] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \chapter{Chapter Name} \section{Section Name} \startscenesubsection \input tufte \stopscenesubsection } \stoptext The chapter headings should be enumerated 1 through 5, but some chapter numbers are either hidden or enumerated incorrectly. Using "placehead=no" causes the spacing to change when framing an entire section. Related: https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror/blob/b14f992ef5f4e868c9959b… Any ideas on how to work around this issue? Thank you!

Expandable \doifelse tests
by Henri Menke 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Dear list, Motivated by this question on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/370868 I was fiddling around with the \doifelse conditionals. I noticed that most of them are not expandable, which makes it very difficult to concatenate them. Here a simple example \starttext \doifelse{a}{% \doifelse{x}{x}{a}{b}% <- evaluates to "a" but not expandable }{yes}{no} \stoptext This outputs "no" even though "a" is equal to "a". Would it be possible to substitute these conditionals by expandable ones? I would volunteer to help make them expandable. Cheers, Henri

Empty page to suppress header (background) frame
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Hello, suppose the following code: ---- \setuplayout[header=5mm,headerdistance=5mm,] \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on] \setupheadertexts[left][right] \starttext Page 1 \page[empty,blank] Page 2 \stoptext ---- Page 2 in this sample is empty - no text and no header/footer - but it KEEPS FRAME around HEADER. How to: - define header to be framed normally and - to be "frame-free" when \page[empty] (and/or maybe \page[blank]) is called? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

option none for \scitebuffer and \sciteinlinebuffer
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Sep '17

02 Sep '17

Hans, I have the following sample: \usemodule[scite] \starttext \startbuffer This is text. % and this is a comment \stopbuffer \scitebuffer \sciteinlinebuffer \stoptext Since \scitebuffer and \sciteinlinebuffer default to TEX typing when none is set, would it be possible to set colors to "none". I need it to be able to use both buffers with \xmlprettyprinttext and \xmlinlineprettyprint. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi, Is there a way to get the dangerous bend sign (which exists in the Donald Knuth’s manfnt) in mkiv? The following (given by one of our gurus and dating back to sevral years) works fine in mkii, but I don’t know how to translate it in mkiv… %%% begin dangerous-bend.tex \loadmapfile [manfnt.map] \definefontsynonym [bends] [manfnt] \def\GetSym#1{\getglyph{bends}{\char#1}} \startsymbolset [Dangerous Bends] \definesymbol [dbend] [\GetSym{127}] \definesymbol [lhdbend] [\GetSym{126}] \stopsymbolset \setupsymbolset [Dangerous Bends] \setupbodyfont[manfnt] \starttext \symbol{dbend} \blank[big] \symbol{lhdbend} \stoptext %%% end dangerous-bend.tex Thanks in advance: OK
