Undefined control sequence: \pdfpxdimen
by Aditya Mahajan 22 Jun '20

22 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 — currently stored as ‘unpublished’ or ‘misc'.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

double followtokens?
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Jan '19

01 Jan '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \useMPlibrary[txt] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{followtokens} path RotPath ; RotPath := reverse halfcircle ; % path RotPath ; RotPath := halfcircle rotatedaround (origin, 180) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \followtokens{Just follow the tokens} \stoptext How can I get both paths (in diverse directions)? I would like to repeat the same text twice, separating both sentences with a character. I have to ask this, beause MetaPost is all Greek to me. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

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?

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.

ConTeXt Sources (MkII)
by Robert Zydenbos 19 May '18

19 May '18

A question for the hardcore members. On http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Manuals I read: ConTeXt Sources (MkII) Apart from the manuals, the source files (especially, some of the old ones) contain excellent documentation and examples. If you want a pretty printed pdf of a source file, say core-rul.tex, you can type texmfstart texexec --module kpse:core-rul.tex But this apparently doesn’t work any more (i.e., I simply entered that line in the Mac terminal and nothing happened). Am I doing something wrong? Robert

two nested \mathbin command changes spacing
by Ulrike Fischer 17 May '18

17 May '18

In the following document the second a is much nearer placed to the V: \starttext $V \mathbin{a} W \qquad V \mathbin{\mathbin{a}} W $ \stoptext (in the second case an italic kern seems to be missing) Can one avoid this side effect of nested \math-command? When building symbols it is not always easy to avoid such nestings. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

luatex hangs with \placebookmarks

12 May '18

Dear list, I use $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.02 mtx-context | current version: 2018.04.19 15:53 With this simple attached MWE, I have luatex hanging in run 3. No idea what I am doing wrong. In other cases I get a lua error (could not write a MWE yet that reproduces this) : lua error > lua error on line 0 in file : ...est/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-ano.lua:292: attempt to index a nil value Thanks a lot Best regards Joseph
