Undefined control sequence: \pdfpxdimen
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

The drops module uses the primitive \pdfpxdimen in a couple of places, but that is no longer defined in the current beta. What is the equivalent command now? Examples of usage: \pdfpxdimen1in\relax\divide\pdfpxdimen\numexpr\dropsparameter\c! resolution\relax % set actual pixel dimension Aditya

Outputting custom types in MKiv bibliography
by Mike O'Connor 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

Hello, I’m trying to create my first publication using ConTeXt mkiv. All going well except for the bibliography formatting. Previously I have used LaTeX, standard entry types in BibTeX, and custom output formats using Biblatex. My publication cites lots of historical sources, viz.: (1) Newspaper articles — currently stored as ‘article’ types in BibTex. (2) Archival sources (historic letter, some leather-bound volume, a catalogued box of old photographs, etc.) — currently stored as ‘unpublished’ or ‘misc'. I would prefer to store these (in BibTeX, buffer, lua, or xml) as custom types (eg. ‘newspaper’, ‘archivalItem’), create setups for how they are output and which fields I output. I found a ’newspaper’ type (and other non-BibTeX types) defined in publ-imp-apa.mkiv as: \startsetups btx:apa:list:newspaper \fastsetup{btx:apa:list:article} \stopsetups I hoped this would mean I could output something: Boxing. (1903, September 13). The Sunday Times, p.8 However, if I create an item of type 'newspaper’ and \cite it I get an output of all stored fields: newspaper: [day: 13] [journal: {The Sunday Times}] [month: 09] [pages:8][title: {Boxing.}] [type: newspaper article] [year: 1903] A similar thing happens if I try to cite the standard BibTeX type ‘misc’. If I store the newspaper item as type ‘article’ I get: “Boxing.”, The Sunday Times, 8, 1903. (missing day and month) Is it relevant that there is a problem when I include \showbtxfields[rotation=30] in my document? The resulting table has ‘*’ for fields in ‘article’, ‘book’, ‘demo-a’, ‘demo-b’ but the columns for ‘newspaper’ and ‘misc’ are empty. Any pointers gratefully received. Cheers, Mike O’Connor P.S. I am working in TeXShop on OSX (10.11.3), and it reports: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2016.3.19 int: english/english

referencing the customized enumeration with framed title
by Jeong Dal 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Hi, Some time ago, I am able to use following code(the framed title for Theorems and etc.) Thank Wolfgang and Otared again. Since it uses the customized style of numbering, there is a problem to reference them. As in the following code, \in{Definition}[] shows no number and \in{Theorem}[] shows ?? instead of numbers while \in{Exam}[] shows correctly. Is there a way to show the numbers correctly? Thank you for reading.

Parallel output of source data

Hello, is there a way to let ConTeXt to flush the input stream in parallel into an output buffer, like: ---- \starttext A \startoutput{Test.mkiv} Hello! \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize \stopoutput B \stoptext ---- which would produce: ---- Test.mkiv Hello! \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize ---- Thank you in advance.

Is there anywhere an option to get an embolden effect as with the following pdf literal? I found the extend option but it doesn't give the intended look \starttext \font\test={Arial:mode=node;script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;} \test abc \pdfextension literal direct {2 Tr 0.15 w}% abc \pdfextension literal direct {0 Tr 0 w}% \font\test={Arial:mode=node;script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;extend=1.1} \test abc \stoptext -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Feature request: \digits command
by Morgan Brassel 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi everyone, The \digits command is really great when it comes to typeset numbers in different languages. However, I miss one functionality from the numprint package in latex: when you type for example $e-5$, you get 10^{-5} (with no dot in front of it). Would it be possible to add an option to \digits to reproduce this? Best wishes, Morgan

Question about paragraphs and hanging punctuation
by Tomas Hala 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi all, I used together hanging punctuation and define/setup paragraphs (tested on TL2017, current CTX). Unfortunately, inside the paragraph environment the hanging punctuation settings is ignored. Moreover, it seems that attributes inner= and command= works only for the first paragraph (column). The only one way I discovered is to write manually \setupalign[hz,hanging] command at the beginning of each column which is not very comfortable. I would like to ask you whether is here some way to set it generally. Or (better) to inherited it from the outer settings. Thanks in advance, Tomáš ------ Minimal example: \definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \starttext\mainlanguage[cz] \defineparagraphs[pokus][n=2] \setupparagraphs[pokus][1][width=10cc] %\setupparagraphs[pokus][1][width=10cc,inner={\setupalign[hz,hanging]}] % command=... \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setupbodyfont[modern,12dd] text \startsomepars text \nextsomepars text \stopsomepars text \stoptext

Questions about \starttext
by Tomas Hala 15 Apr '18

15 Apr '18

Hi all, doing some tests I discovered two interesting facts. The first is that commands \starttext and \stoptext do not behave as a group. Minimal example (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden): \starttext text \starttext \bf text \stoptext text % this text is in bold, too. \stoptext Is this the expected behaviour, or not? The second interesting thing is that the unbalanced document is compiled without protests: Minimal example #1 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden): \starttext text % in this case, the "text" is shipped out Minimal example #2 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden): text % in this case, the "text" is not shipped out \stoptext If this is ok, it does not correspond to our garden wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/starttext) "The first command takes care of a number of initializations, and the last command tells TEX that processing can stop. When this command is left out TEX will display a * (a star) on the command line at the end of the job. TEX will expect a command, for example \end."
