additional space with sidebar and narrower
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Ahoi, I’m trying to mark examples in a book with indent (\startnarrower) and a rule in the margin (\startsidebar). Each of those works on its own as it should, but combined there’s an additional empty line before and after introduced that I can’t get rid of. Any hints? \starttext \input tufte \startsidebar \startnarrower \input knuth \stopnarrower \stopsidebar \input tufte \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Breakable thin space in TeX
by Huseyin Özoguz 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

Dear list, I use \, as a non-breakable half-space. But which is it's breakable equivalent? I could not find it in the wiki or any TeX-Wiki. Thank you. -- Huseyin Özoguz E-Mail: h.oezoguz(a)mmnetz.de

Write your own module?
by Geert Verhaag 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Hi, I'd like to start writing a module, and test it using ConTeXt MkIV standalone installation. Dived into wiki.contextgarden.net but was unable to find a basic tutorial on how to tackle this. Yes, I did find a module template, but can't figure out where the module should go such that ConTeXt can find and load it. Any hint would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! Regards, Gerard

Bug when mathmatrix is used inside mathalign
by Aditya Mahajan 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hi, It was reported on TeX.SE[1] that there is a bug when math matrix is used inside a math align: \starttext \startformula \startalign[n=2,align={right,left}] \NC x \NC = a ~ long ~ sequence ~ of ~ terms \NR \NC y \NC = ok ~ left \NR \NC \startmatrix[left={\left\lbrack},right={\right\rbrack}] \NC x \NR \NC y \NR \stopmatrix \NC = why ~ right? \NR \NC y \NC = ok ~ left ~ again \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext gives https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZTAp3.png It appears that \startmatrix globally resets \NC. I haven't looked into the code yet to see why this is happening. Aditya [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/481411/323

How to repeat the hyphen?
by Tomas Hala 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Hi all, in composed words with hyphen inside (e.g. modro-zelený = blue-green), the hyphen character must be repeated at the beginning of the new line (modro-/-zelený). This rule is obligatory for Czech and Slovak typesetting. I am able to implement this feature by defining a new command (see \def\= below) but it means that all appearances of "-" must be replaced (manually) in the source text. I tried all options of \setuphyphenation but no one gives the correct result. Is there any way in ConTeXt how to set it by default? Best wishes, Tomáš %%%%%% MWE: \starttext\mainlanguage[cz] \def\myboxik#1#2{\start\setuphyphenation[cz][method=#1]\startframedtext[width=1dd]\hbox{{\bf#1}}\crlf#2\stopframedtext\stop\par} \def\mybox#1{\myboxik{traditional}{#1}\myboxik{default}{#1}\myboxik{expanded}{#1}\myboxik{original}{#1}\myboxik{tex}{#1}\myboxik{hyphenate}{#1}\myboxik{none}{#1}} \mybox{modro-zelený} \def\={\discretionary{-}{-}{-}} \mybox{modro\=zelený} \stoptext %%%%%%

issue with symbol in attachments
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuppapersize[A9] \starttext \attachment[xml-mkiv.pdf]\\ \attachment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Pushpin width=fit, width=fit, depth=fit]\\ \attachment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Default]\\ \attachment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Paperclip]\\ \attachment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Graph]\\ \attachment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Pushpin]\\ \stoptext Symbols aren’t distorted with comments, although option "Default" doesn’t seem to work well. \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuppapersize[A9] \starttext \comment[xml-mkiv.pdf]\\ a\comment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Default]\\ b\comment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Newparagraph]\\ c\comment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Note]\\ d\comment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Insert]\\ e\comment[xml-mkiv.pdf] [symbol=Help]\\ \stoptext Can anyone confirm that all attachment symbols are distorted, except the first one? BTW, I’m using latest beta (2019.03.21 21:39). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Incorrect offset when textframe is used inside TEXpage
by Aditya Mahajan 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Hi, With the latest beta, the following example: \definetextbackground [test] [ location=paragraph, ] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=5cm] \starttest \input knuth \stoptest \stopTEXpage \stoptext gives the attached output. Note that in the output the left and right offsets are zero. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix that. Thanks, Aditya

Re: [NTG-context] Spacing between text and footnote line

> Hello, > > one way could be > > \setupnote[footnote][before={\blank[10*big]}] > > Best wishes, > > Tomáš > Thanks, but that does not work. It only changes the distance between the footnote-line and the footnote-text. But I want to manipulate the distance above the footnote-line: between the (standard) text and the footnote-line.
