Problem with simplefonts
by Mari Voipio 03 Sep '18

03 Sep '18

Hello! Partly due to the upcoming ConTeXt meeting I updated my ConTeXt, although with the --current option for latest stable. Most of my files compile fine and there don't seem to be any problems. However, the big beast fails right after loading env-fonts-23 (attached) and it seems to be a problem connected to the Simplefonts module. This is what the log says: ----- fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded open source > level 3, order 4, name '../../env-fonts-23.tex' modules > 'simplefonts' is loaded open source > level 4, order 5, name 'C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.mkiv' loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts resolvers > lua > loading file 'C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua' succeeded tex error > tex error on line 802 in file C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.mkiv: !

What is weird is that the almost similar env-fonts-pr33.tex works without complaints. I'm running standalone ConTeXt on a 64-bit Windows10 machine, if that makes any difference. The ConTeXt version is 2018.08.28 17:21 MKIV beta. I don't need the non-working file right now. But it has to compile by the end of next week or I'll be in trouble... Thanks, Mari

Errors while processing xml file
by Jan U. Hasecke 03 Sep '18

03 Sep '18

Hi all, some time ago I started a project to learn more about xml processing. I thought it would be nice to typeset texts from the German Text Archive. So I setup an environment to do this. https://github.com/juh2/tei-style-dta-context It's a very poor project, because most of the code is taken from https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context I started to get an idea how xml processing works. Now after some upgrades of context I get an error message that confuses me, It's in the attached zip file. As you can see I had to type enter a few times, but the file finally processes to the end. The error message seems to point to commented lines, and I don't understand this. Do you have any hints? juh

Re: [NTG-context] Strange vertical result with itemize in columns

Dear Mikael, I have had the similar experience. Hans suggested another command “\NI” and “\itemtag” for this case. Please check the following mail and wiki. https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/089872.html <https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/089872.html> http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate> Best regards, Dalyoung > 2018. 9. 3. 오후 9:38, ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl 작성: > > Hi, > > the following example generates (with latest standalone) the attached > result.

How to cite online websites (reloaded)
by Lars 03 Sep '18

03 Sep '18

Hello guys, I've checked some articles on the wiki as well as the publications manual, but the results I get aren't what I expect. I hope that you can help me. I'd love to do short BibTeX entries like @Misc{lnkGGL, note = "zuletzt abgerufen am \date[d=05, m=06, y=2018]", url = "http://www.google.com" } because sometimes this is all info I can get. Now I want an entry in the \placelistofpublications area with only the link and the note when I opened the website the last time. That's what I get from ConTeXt so far when I use \cite[lnkGGL]: [1], _http://www.google.com_ (unveröffentlicht). (zuletzt abgerufen am 5. Juni 2018) How would one get this output instead: [1] _http://www.google.com_ (zuletzt abgerufen am 5. Juni 2018) In the mail archive I found these commands: \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications[numbering=yesalternative=myapa-de] \starttext \startpublication[k=pragma, t=article, % I sometimes use "webpage" a=Hans] \url{http://www.pragma-ade.com} % or u= inside the square brackets \lastchecked{some date} \stoppublication Hallo\cite[url][pragma] \placelistofpublications \stoptext This of course doesn't work for me (error: "attempt to concatenate a table value" or a blank page). Also i-context.pdf gives another syntax for \cite. I really just want the link and the date in parentheses. How would a pro user do this? Thanks in advance, Lars-

The definitive guide to ConTeXt MkIV documentation
by Henri Menke 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Dear list, I have written a guide to ConTeXt documentation which summarizes the most important resources for the ConTeXt beginner, advanced user, and expert user. You can see it on GitHub: https://github.com/hmenke/context-examples/blob/master/GUIDE.md I have also posted it on TeX.SX for better visibility to a larger audience. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/448812 Of course the guide is extremely opinionated and describes how I learned to use ConTeXt. If you think that things are missing or wrong, please submit a pull request on GitHub to my repository or flick me an email. I hope that this guide is as helpful as I think it is. Cheers, Henri

opbd not behaving properly?
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality] \definefontfeature[opbd][protrusion=yes,opbd=yes] \setupalign[hanging] \showframe \starttext \definedfont[LinLibertine_R.otf*default at 450pt] %~ \definedfont[LinLibertine_R.otf*opbd at 450pt] W \stoptext I cannot compile it with latest beta (from 2018.08.30 18:41). I get a Lua error. Using the same beta, opbd don’t seem to work anymore. I mean, opbd worked with ConTeXt about a year: \showframe \definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality, opbd=yes] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TestOPBD] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 60pt] \setupalign[hanging] \starttext Ἠ\\Ἠ\\Ἦ\\ἯἯ \stoptext I mean, I compile it, but lfbd isn’t used at all (I attach the test font I use). Have I hit a bug or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Bug in newest ConTeXt with anglebetween?
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

Hi! The document below compiled before, but not since upgrading to the new version of standalone (current version: 2018.08.30 18:41). I'm running linux if that matters. The problem seem to be anglebetween, since if that line is commented out, the file compiles. %%% \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{testfig} u:=1cm; z0=origin; z1=(4u,3u); z2=(4u,0); draw z0--z1--z2--cycle; draw anglebetween(z0--z2,z0--z1,btex $\alpha$ etex); \stopuseMPgraphic \startplacefigure \useMPgraphic{testfig} \stopplacefigure \stoptext %%% The error is something like: tex error > tex error on line 7 in file /home/mickep/tmp/testfil.tex: ! Extra }, or forgotten $ l.7 } <local> \global \setbox \mptextbox \hbox {\clf_mptexttoks } <inserted text> BAD <to be read again> \relax \meta_process_graphic ...pvariableclass :}\relax } \meta_process_graphic_stop... \meta_handle_use_graphic ...a_process_graphic {#3} \endgroup /Mikael
