Watchmode

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

Abstracting styles
by Juraj Fiala 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi, I’m trying to learn ConTeXt, but I’m discovering a few hurdles along the way. Essentially what I currently want to do is to emulate paragraph styles found in other software, e.g. Scribus. After several hours of research all I have in my head is a complete mess of conflicting approaches, so I’d like to get some sane present-day advice. :-) Say I wanted to achieve this (as a rough example, the point is mixing weights and OpenType features in different contexts): Heading 1: Source Serif Semibold, smcp=yes, 12% letter-spacing Heading 2: Source Serif Semibold Emphasis: Source Serif Regular, smcp=yes, 8% letter-spacing What is the most straightforward way should I load the fonts and set the ‘styles’? Thanks!

Spurious newlines at beginning of startstop pair
by Denis Maier 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Hi, I have this file: -------------------------------------------------------------- \newdimen\cslhangindent \cslhangindent=1.5em \definestartstop [cslreferences] [ before={% \setupnarrower[left=\cslhangindent] \startnarrower[left]% \setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes,first]% \indentation% }, after=\stopnarrower, ] \starttext \section{Some title} \input ward \section{References} \startcslreferences \dorecurse{10}{\dorecurse{10}{This is a Test. }\par} \stopcslreferences \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------- The skip after the `\section{References}` is bigger than after `\section{Some title}`. Why is that? If I delete the empty line after `\startcslreferences`, the skips are identical. Is there a way to take care of this through `\definestartstop`? Best, Denis

documenting sources
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Dear list, I would like to be abbe to commento some ConTeXt code that we use at work. From what I see in the distribution itself, %D is the way to comment text (and %C the copyright information). Sorry, I don’t even know how to look for this (either in the distribution, or in the wiki). I would like to know how to compile back-swf.mkiv to get the documentation. Which is the right command for that? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

R module
by Fabrice L 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

Dear list, I’m teaching with R this term, and I tried (without success) the R-module (I think the path of R is not found). Having no time to test and find out the problem, I have tried with success knitr (with is Rmarkdown code converted to latex-beamer). But I’m missing Context… My understanding is that the R-module is working only with mk-ii. Is there people in this list using successfully the r-module with mk-iv ? Thanks, Fabrice.

Re: [NTG-context] Difference between direct use of quotation marks and \quotation
by denis.maier.lists＠mailbox.org 24 Nov '19

Hi, is it possible to enable hanging punctuation only on the right margin? I think that's the way the microtype package does that in LaTeX, but I don't know how to replicate this behavior in ConTeXt.

ConTeXt as a service
by Denis Maier 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

Hi everyone, Is it possible to run ConTeXt as a service on a server? If yes, is there documentation about this? Background: I'm currently on the PKP conference, and we are discussing OJS plugins for automated PDF production. I was wondering if ConTeXt could be an option... Best, Denis P.S.: I'll be giving here a brief introduction to XML typesetting with ConTeXt to spread the word... just to let you know.

Difference between direct use of quotation marks and \quotation
by Tomas Hala 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Hi all, I have got two "same" documents which differ at the left side when the hanging punctuation has been enabled. The difference is in use of quotation marks. (It seems as a language and font independent problem.) How can I persuade macro \quotation to move the punctuation outside the frame? Best wishes, Tomáš %%% MWE: \setupalign[hz,hanging] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \starttext\showframe one \hfill two \crlf „three“ four \par one \hfill two \crlf \quotation{three} four \stoptext
