Problems with letter module
by Lutz Haseloff 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi Wolfgang, hi all, I would like to use the letter module. With my minimal letter i don't get pagenumbering and background working. They don't appear in the pdf. ------ \setupbodyfont[cambria] \usemodule[letter] \useletterstyle[dinb] \mainlanguage[de] \starttext \setupletter [signature={Unterschrift}, fromname={Absender}, fromaddress={Straße\\Ort}, toname={An}, toaddress={Adresse}] % correspondence.pdf, p. 73 \startsetups letter:head \rightaligned{Seite \correspagenumber\ von \numberofcorrespages} \stopsetups % correspondence.pdf, p. 71 \startuseMPgraphic{dactylus} draw unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth-2cm,OverlayHeight-2cm) smoothed 1cm withpen pencircle scaled 2 ; fill fullcircle scaled 1.5cm shifted (1cm,1cm) withcolor \MPcolor{orange} ; \stopuseMPgraphic \setupletterstyle[background=\useMPgraphic{dactylus}] \startletter [opening={Anrede}, subject={Betreff}, closing={Gruß}] \input tufte \input knuth \input ward \stopletter \stoptext ------ Recent context beta, luatex 1.08 6731 Greetings Lutz

title of index
by Hans van der Meer 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

The macro \completeregister[index] placed in \startbackmatter\startappendices typesets as “I Index”. How can I change and format with my custom macro the part “Index”? Such as using \mytitle{xyz} instead of Index? No solution found in the Context Wiki. dr. Hans van der Meer

Spurious blank line inside paragraph
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Dear list, In the MWE below, ConTeXt generates a spurious blank line inside the paragraph in the pdf output. \setuplayout[grid=yes] \mainlanguage[pt] \starttext Poderíamos perguntar-nos: O mundo que percebemos é uma ilusão? A percepção que tenho do mundo parece objetiva, pois sou consciente disso. Mas também averiguo que existem muitas situações totalmente estranhas para mim: o estado de consciência de um esquizofrênico, a experiência mística de uma Teresa de Ávila, a capacidade, cabalmente comprovada, que muitas pessoas têm de fazer predições, a percepção de um daltônico que vê o mundo em duas cores, as experiências extracorpóreas que milhares de pessoas conhecem, a inflência a que se submete uma pessoa sob os efeitos da hipnose, etc. \stoptext My ConTeXt version: 2018.07.18 17:33 Marcus Vinicius

Finding lua file for module using \registerctxluafile
by Stanislav Sokolenko 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

Dear list, I've recently written a small module p-mymod.tex which uses lua code in p-mymod.lua. In order to load this lua code, I use \registerctxluafile{p-mymod}{1.001} (copying the example of m-database.mkiv). However, it seems like the search path for lua files isn't the same as for context module files. When a context file that uses p-mymod through \usemodule[mymod] is placed in a subdirectory, it finds p-mymod, but not the lua portion: p-mymod.tex p-mymod.lua subdir/test.tex Placing the lua file inside the subdirectory resolves this problem: p-mymod.tex subdir/p-mymod.lua subdir/test.tex What is the suggested method to change the lua search path? Ideally, I'd like to avoid placing the files in $TEXMF/tex/context/third/<modulename>/<files> as this module is quite intimately tied to the specific project and it doesn't make much sense to separate the files too much. Thanks, Stan

More spurious <break/> problems in exports
by Rik Kabel 18 Jul '18

18 Jul '18

List, Another oddity with <break/> elements in XML / xhtml / html export: With a defined highlight, a break is inserted if the highlight is the first item in an environment. If it is not the first item in the environment, no break is inserted. Most of the other odd breaks can be dealt with in css. These are more difficult to tame -- for example, in the startlines environment in the example below, there is not enough information preserved to know if the tagged item is supposed to be a single line or not. (Tests using 2018-07-17 beta on Win64.) Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a way to control the insertion of the breaks? MWE: \setupbackend [export=yes] \definehighlight [emIt] [style=italic] \starttext \startparagraph {\emIt Taa} aaaaaaaaaaa aa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaa aaa aaaaaaaa aa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaa.

Storing Lua values between Ctx "*first* and next runs
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Hello, is there a Lua variable/namespace which is stored automatically between Ctx "*first" and following runs? I thought 'userdata' is intended for this, but it seems it's not; I'd like to achieve something like: ---- \startluacode if tex.modes["*first"] then userdata.LPr = "Something" -- Is there a variable which is shared between Ctx runs? else assert(userdata.LPr == "Something") end \stopluacode ---- Of course, I can store the table via serialization functions to an extra file, but I thought there is already a variable/mechanism for this (e.g. using .tua/.tuc file) ... is it?
