\quad confusion
by Floris van Manen 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

When trying to typeset, luatex kept complaining about incorrect parameters for ‘minus’. There is no \minus command in the source however. So it turns out that the combination of using \quad with ‘plus’, 'minus', and some more make the error appear. If i rewrite minus by {minus} the error does not show up either. \starttext \quad minuskel \stoptext Where do i go wrong? Thanks. Floris

Dear all This is out: https://www.logos-verlag.de/cgi-bin/engbuchmid?isbn=4466&lng&id&fbclid=IwAR… <https://www.logos-verlag.de/cgi-bin/engbuchmid?isbn=4466&lng&id&fbclid=IwAR…> I’d like to thank Hans and the community for ConTeXt and the support that here it provides. I’ve been happy to include a “Typeset with ConTEXt” in the colophon page.

columnset vs columns
by Thangalin 23 Dec '18

23 Dec '18

Minimal example: \definepapersize[PaperSize][ width=400mm, height=100mm, ] \setuppapersize[PaperSize] \starttext \startcolumnset[n=3] \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} \stopcolumnset \stoptext The old-columnsets module fails with an error. The following works as expected: \definepapersize[PaperSize][ width=400mm, height=100mm, ] \setuppapersize[PaperSize] \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} \stopcolumns \stoptext Thank you.

Question about defining a path with Metapost
by Fabrice Couvreur 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

Hi, I need to make a figure with shaded areas and I found this code proposed by Hans. Why does the definition of the r path that Hans proposed give the same result as what I propose ? Thank you. Fabrice \starttext \startMPpage[offset=2pt] path p, q, r ; pair z ; p := unitsquare scaled 4cm ; z := point 3.6 of p ; q := z--urcorner p ; r := z--urcorner p--lrcorner p--llcorner p--cycle ; %r := q -- reverse bottomboundary p -- cycle ; definition of Hans draw p ; draw r numberstriped (.25,10,5) withcolor magenta ; draw thetextext.llft("B", llcorner p) ; draw thetextext.lrt ("C", lrcorner p) ; draw thetextext.ulft("A", ulcorner p) ; draw thetextext.urt ("D", urcorner p) ; draw thetextext.lft ("M", z) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext

issue with initial
by Pablo Rodriguez 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [GFS Didot] [preset=range:greek, force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \setinitial Πρῶτον \blank[5*big]\setinitial Ὄνομα \stoptext I’m afraid I cannot get an initial with a fallback font and a glyph in the Unicode block for extended Greek. I think it might be a bug. Sorry for insisting. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Monospace fallback kerning
by Hans Åberg 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

In the example below, multiple spaces do not use the spacing of the fallback font for multiple spaces, but instead of the main font it seems, despite the ASCII U+0020 being in the forced override. So the question is how to force ConTeXt to use the fallback font also for multiple spaces. — \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [mono] [courier] [range={0000-00FF},force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainface][serif][stix] \definefontfamily [mainface][mono][stix] \definefontfamily [mainface][math][stix] \setupbodyfont [mainface,10pt] \starttext \starttyping code code . code . code . code code code . . code code . . . code code . . . . code code . code \stoptyping \stoptext —

\showhyphens
by Tomas Hala 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

Hi all, I would like to detect hyphen points in a paragraph. I hoped that the plain \showhyphens{text} can do it but it displays nothing. Is this plain macro available yet, or is it covered by other command? Thanks in advance. Best wishes Tomáš

Itemize lists run into floats - how to add additional spacing
by Marco Patzer 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

Hi! The bullet of itemize lists runs into the boxes and caption of floats. How to add spacing so the bullet doesn't touch the float? Example: \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \setupfloat [figure] [default=left] \setupitemize [packed, autointro] \starttext \startitemize \startitem Foo \startplacefigure [title=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur] \externalfigure [hacker] \stopplacefigure Bar \stopitem \dorecurse{15}{%% \startitem Foobar \stopitem } \stopitemize \stoptext Marco

Dear list, I have the following sample: \mainlanguage[agr] \setuppapersize[A5] \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [GFS Didot] [preset=range:greek, force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \setinitial Πρῶτον δεῖ θέσθαι τί ὄνομα καὶ τί ῥῆμα, ἔπειτα τί ἐστιν ἀπόφασις καὶ κατάφασις καὶ ἀπόφανσις καὶ λόγος. \blank\setinitial Ὄνομα μὲν οὖν ἐστὶ φωνὴ σημαντικὴ κατὰ συνθήκην ἄνευ χρόνου, ἧς μηδὲν μέρος ἐστὶ σημαντικὸν κεχωρισμένον· \stoptext When the initial is a character from the extended Greek Unicode block, the fallback family doesn’t work for that initial. Could anyone confirm that this is a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
