rscale with auto value
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Wolfgang, explaining the following sample to ConTeXt newbies, I have a problem: \setuppapersize[A5, landscape] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][DejaVu Sans Mono][rscale=0.825] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 22pt] \starttext \startmakeup[standard] This is available at {\tt https://contextarden.net}. \stopmakeup \stoptext The problem is how to explain to someone who never used anything similar to ConTeXt or TeX how she has to calculate the scale ratio. It is even not simple to myself. rscale is a useful option, but it would be great to have the auto value that does all the math for the user. Would it be possible that rscale could have the auto value? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

tounicode mapping missing for locl-variants
by Ulrike Fischer 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

When I compile the following document I see in the output localized variants for the various glyphs. But copy & paste works only for the last line. The first two gives notdef chars. In the pdf e.g. the first glyph has the numbers 2D0E, 2D0F, 2D0D in the three lines but only for the last there is a unicode mapping: <2D0D> <5203>. What can one do to get a mapping also for the other glyphs? The font can be downloaded here https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans/blob/release/OTF/SourceHanSa… A related bug report is https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans/issues/200 \pdfvariable compresslevel 0 \pdfvariable objcompresslevel 0 \setupheader[state=stop] \starttext \font\zhs= {file:SourceHanSans-Regular.otf:mode=node;script=hani;language=ZHS;+locl} \zhs 刃令毒骨縣誤 \font\zht= {file:SourceHanSans-Regular.otf:mode=node;script=hani;language=ZHT;+locl} \zht 刃令毒骨縣誤 \font\test= {file:SourceHanSans-Regular.otf:mode=node;script=hani;language=DFLT;} \test 刃令毒骨縣誤 \stoptext -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Creating flyers with ConTeXt
by Jan U. Hasecke 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Hi all, consulting the wiki I found http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-pagedesign… and the command \setuparranging [TRYPTICHON]. So I think that I should be able to make a pdf for a flyer and print it with an online printer. But as I am still very new to ConTeXt, I need a kickstart doing it. Has anybody made a template for a leaflet flyer. In Germany we call it DIN lang afaik, I don't know the English name of the format. But it ends up with six pages (width 99mm/ height 210 mm). TIA juh

Itemize and natural tables
by Jan Willem Flamma 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Dear list members, I’m able to combine itemize and tabulate as per: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg86189.html <https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg86189.html> Also, based on this discussion, I understand that combining modes and tabulate is not possible. Instead modes must be comined with natural tables. https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg88877.html <https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg88877.html> A logical follow up questions is if itemize can be combined with natural tables that include modes like in the MWE below. MWE: \startsetups [table] \setupTABLE [start] [frame=off,rulethickness=0pt,offset=0pt] \setupTABLE [column] [1] [width=4cm,align=flushleft] \setupTABLE [row] [1] [toffset=5pt] \setupTABLE [column] [2] [width=4cm,align=flushleft] \stopsetups \enablemode[test] \starttext \bTABLE [setups=table] \bTR \bTC Item 1 \eTC \bTC Column 1 \eTC \startmode[test] \bTC Column 2 \eTC \stopmode \eTR \bTR \bTC Item 2 \eTC \bTC Column 1 \eTC \startmode[test] \bTC Column 2 \eTC \stopmode \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Kind regards, Jan Wilem Flamma

MetaFun: nofmultipars wrong?
by Henri Menke 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Dear list, I used to be under the impression that when you wanted a background frame around a piece of text, you'd use a loop over nofmultipars. However, I realized that even when the contained material breaks across pages, the counter remains 1 on the second page. Another issue is that the frame containing the page break has a stray blank line at the end. Is this something that changed recently when switching to the one-pass processing? I have attached the output of beta 2018.09.24 14:11 (which I believe is the latest). Cheers, Henri --- \startuseMPgraphic{pageframe} for i=1 upto nofmultipars : draw (ulcorner multipars[i] -- urcorner multipars[i]) withcolor red ; draw (llcorner multipars[i] -- lrcorner multipars[i]) withcolor red ; label.lft(decimal i, ulcorner multipars[i]) withcolor red ; endfor ; \stopuseMPgraphic \definetextbackground [PageFrame] [mp=pageframe, location=paragraph] \starttext \samplefile{knuth} \starttextbackground[PageFrame] \samplefile{knuth} \stoptextbackground \samplefile{knuth} \starttextbackground[PageFrame] \samplefile{knuth} \samplefile{knuth} \samplefile{knuth} \stoptextbackground \stoptext
