Hello ConTeXters, is there a way how to get laundry symbols into ConTeXt? - The image is copied from "The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List", Scott Pakin. TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

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 — currently stored as ‘unpublished’ or ‘misc'.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

I think that i found the reason so i'll do a new upload later. There have been a few (not that large) changes in the engine wrr to (1) font memory used at the tex end (not dramatic but for huge fonts it matters), (2) some (potential) improvements of hz and protrusion (removing dead code and improving directional awareness) and (3) normalzation of node lists (very experimental but won't kick in normally).

Anyone? After updating LMTX to the latest version 2019.11.28, context stopped working, only to produce core dumps ... Any hints as how to resolve this?

Fwd: Re: Spurious newlines at beginning of startstop pair
by denis.maier.lists＠mailbox.org 29 Nov '19

Hans, thanks for your answer. But two questions: First: Am I right to assume that the important part is `\GetPar`. The rest is syntactic sugar to make to code more ConTeXt-like, right? Second: For some reasons I have not received your message. It wasn't in the Spam folder and I usually receive mails from the list. Any ideas? Are there some known problems?

Hi, is there a watchmode for ConTeXt? So that I can it once and ConTeXt will re-typeset a file once there are changes? Best, Denis
