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 — currently stored as ‘unpublished’ or ‘misc'.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

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

12th ConTeXt Meeting (2018)
by Alan Braslau 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Gentle ConTeXt user, * Do you still struggle with lua? (I do, because it is magic and mysterious) * Are you baffled by MetaPost? (because MetaPost is beautiful and particular) * Are you itching to get Hans to fix this or fix that? (or are you willing to learn what you are doing wrong) * Do you want to meet in person some of those who write and answer emails on this mailing list? * Do you want to blow us away with some fabulous new idea, or impress us with some really beautiful typeset text? * Do you want to attend fun lectures and presentations from morning 'till night? * Do you want to perhaps code until who knows when? * Or perhaps you wish to partake in some good Czech beer and some excellent Czech wine (with moderation)? * Or simply, do you not want to miss out on a really great time?? Then we wish to bring your attention the the 12th International ConTeXt Meeting to be held in Prague-Sibrina in the Czech Republic from Sunday September 2nd through Saturday September 8th, 2018. http://meeting.contextgarden.net *A fun time will be had by all!* Alan "... and may your night be restful"

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.

Questions to PDF/A compliant documents: missing ICC files?
by Tomas Hala 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Hi all, at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A I found the following: """"" In ConTeXt mkiv, in order to create such a compliant PDF/A file, one can do as follows: first install (or check that they are present) the following color profiles files default_cmyk.icc default_gray.icc default_rgb.icc ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc into tex/texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles of your Context standalone directory. The default_*.icc files are part of ghostscript... """"" So I checked that they are present (CentOS 6.6, GPL Ghostscript 8.70) and I discovered that these files are not present at any ConTeXt (or TeX) installation from TeXlive neither as separate files, nor at file context/colors/icc/context/colorprofiles.xml. Only default_gray.icc is present as a part of ConTeXt installations from our garden. Therefore, I would like to ask (a) where I can find the set of original default*.icc files, (b) what is the reason why these files are not included in the TeXlive and garden installations, (c) if it is possible to add it there for future, and (d) if the produced PDF (with \setupbackend[format={pdf/a-1b:2005}...]) is PDF/a compliant when these icc files are not present and the whole content of the document is only in black (i.e. no grayscale, no colours). Our university decided to be "PDF/a compliant", that is the reason why I am asking. Best wishes, Tomáš

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.

Referencing footnotes by SECTION
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Dear gang, When referencing footnotes that reset each chapter, is there a way to include the chapter information? See attached and below: ======= \setuphead[chapter] [alternative=normal,conversion=R] \setuphead[subsection][alternative=text] \setuphead[subsection][distance=0em, textdistance=0.7em, sectionstopper=., criterium=local] \setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter] \setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default] [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \startchapter[title={First},reference={}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference1}] \input ward \startfootnote[footnote1] \input ward \stopfootnote{} See \in{Footnote}[footnote2]. \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference2}] \input ward \stopsubsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Second}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference3}] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference5}] \input ward \startfootnote[footnote2] \input ward \stopfootnote{} See \in{Footnote}[footnote1]. \stopsubsection \stopchapter \stoptext ======= If line 8 is commented - \setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter] - we get what we expect. But if line 8 is activated, we get an ambiguity: Both references give back "Footnote 1" Whereas what we would like is something like this: Footnote I.1 i.e., Chapter I, Footnote 1 - for the first footnote; and Footnote II.1 i.e., Chapter II, Footnote 1 - for the second footnote. Is there a straightforward way to do this? [[Of course, for the roman chapter numbering we also run into the reference-numberconversionset issue of the other thread, where \definestructureconversionset[OLIE][n,R,n,n,n,n][n] \setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default] [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace, numberconversionset=OLIE] doesn't seem to work.]] Thank you in advance for any guidance or pointers you can provide!
