Hi, Wolfgang suggested this to put text in the margin but since some updates it does not work anymore : \setuplayout [width=12cm, rightmargin=5cm] \defineuserdata [margintext] [alternative=margintext] \defineuserdataalternative [margintext] [renderingsetup=userdata:margintext] \startsetups [userdata:margintext] \margindata [inright] [%style=\smallbodyfont, style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}, width=\rightmarginwidth, align={flushleft,broad}] {{\bf Exemple — }\getinlineuserdata} \stopsetups \starttext \startuserdata[margintext] \input ward \stopuserdata \stoptext Thank you.

Strange behavior in math mode: < and minus sign give leftarrow
by Otared Kavian 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi Hans, While testing old documents with lmtx, I noticed that with recent versions of mkiv, as well as LuaMetaTeX, there is a strange behavior in math mode: when the characters < and - follow each other one gets \leftarrow… This is embarrassing when one writes inequalities for negative numbers. So one has to separate them in order to obtain with curly braces. Can this be fixed or is it intended ? \starttext $\alpha < -1$ $\alpha \leftarrow 1$ $\alpha < {-1}$ $\alpha {<} - 1$ \stoptext Best regards: OK

DIN lang folder with crop marks
by Benjamin Koppe 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hallo, I'm new to ConTeXt and am crazy enough to start with something nonstandard. Of course I got stuck pretty fast. I started out with this: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/DIN_lang_folder and then found some info on crop marks here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PaperSetup#Crop_marks I tried different options (marked=on, market=colour, marked=color..., something with \setuplayout[location={middle,middle}]...) Some times the crop marks don't show at all, sometimes they are set off a bit so they don't fit with the actual document. I added the whole file as I really do not knwo (yet) how to reduce things... Thanks for any help De Benny

Fwd: SyncTeX and Skim/TeXShop
by Nicola Vitacolonna 10 Apr '19

Sorry, forgot to forward to the mailing list: > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Nicola Vitacolonna <nvitacolonna(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [NTG-context] SyncTeX and Skim/TeXShop > Date: 10 April 2019 at 17:50:26 CEST > To: Hans Hagen <j.hagen(a)xs4all.nl> > > Hans, OK, > thanks for the feedback. I was able to get TeXShop to work as explained by OK—that’s already a progress. I prefer to use Vim, so I’ll see whether I can cook something myself using AppleScript and Skim and parsing the ConTeXt-generated .synctex file. Is the synctex format currently used by ConTeXt described anywhere? > > Thanks again, > Nicola

Hi, you can always set *\pagereference[bla] *into the text and reference to the pagenumber of the reference with *\at[bla]*. Is that what you wanted? Huseyin Özoguz -- Huseyin Özoguz E-Mail: h.oezoguz(a)mmnetz.de

SyncTeX and Skim/TeXShop
by Nicola Vitacolonna 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi, is anyone using ConTeXt with Skim, or TeXShop, on macOS? SyncTeX used to work fine with ConTeXt in both apps. Now, it seems that ConTeXt has started to generate a .synctex file rather than a .synctex.gz, and the format seems to have changed (?). As I haven’t followed recent (or perhaps not so recent) developments in this area, do you have any suggestions to make SyncTeX work again? I am using Skim, but any PDF viewer would be fine if Skim cannot be used for the purpose any longer. Thanks in advance, Nicola

Referencing the page on which an endnote was generated
by Rik Kabel 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

List, I would like to create headings for the endnotes appendix chapter of a book with headings like "Notes for pages x–y" but can find no way to capture x and y. Is there a way to get those page numbers to insert into the header? -- Rik

Emacs with context lmtx
by Fabrice Couvreur 09 Apr '19

Hi, I compile all my files with Emacs and standalone context. I would like to compare context lmtx. I added this in my .emacs file but it does not work. ############################################################################# (eval-after-load "context" '(setq TeX-command-list (cons '("ConTeXt" "PATH=/home/viserion/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH context --purgeall %s" TeX-run-command nil t :help "Run context (MarkIV)") TeX-command-list) ("ConTeXt" "PATH=/home/viserion/data/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH context --purgeall %s" TeX-run-command t t :help "Run context (LMTX)") t) ) ############################################################################# For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.

endnotes customizing how?
by Hans van der Meer 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

In typesetting my endnotes with \placenotes[endnote] I seem unable to unfluence the text characteristics. I tried things like (1) \setupnotes[endnote][textcolor=blue] (2) changed fonts before the \ bgroup\bf\placenote\egroup call (3) \startsetups[setups:endnotes] \setupwhitespace[0pt] \stopsetups % textstyle influences endnotemarker in the text. \setupnote[endnote][textcommand=\hifnmarker,before=\directsetup{setups:endnotes}] (4) \setupnotes[endnote][bodyfont=italic] Where (3) made a difference in linespacing, nothing else does. How can one determine the text characteristics of the endnotes? dr. Hans van der Meer

Expanding text across two table cells
by Todd DeVries 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hello, I use a progress note format which contains information that doesn't change much from session to session. Items like date, location, people attending a session. I would like to include two longer items, a diagnostic field and info about guardianship at the end of a table. Both of these fields should span two cells in the table and wrap to the full width. Currently, they wrap to the width of the first table column. The cells appear to be spanned correctly, but the text does not extend. What am I missing? Thank you for the assistance. \startcomponent c_DATE_clientcode_progress \project prj_cases \startsection[title=Counseling Progress Note, reference=DATE_clientcode] \placetable{Meeting Info} {\bTABLE \bTR \bTD \ptitle{Client Name}:~John Smith \eTD \bTD \ptitle{Billing code}:~90834 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \ptitle{Date}:~April 8, 2019 \eTD \bTD \ptitle{Start \& stop time}~12:00-13:00 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \ptitle{Next appointment}:~April 15, 2019 \eTD \bTD \ptitle{Punctuality}:~On time. \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \ptitle{Location of Service}:~Office \eTD \bTD \ptitle{Those in attendance}:~Counselor and John \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[n=2] \ptitle{Diagnosis}:~Adjustment Disorder, Unspecified (F43.20). \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[n=2] \ptitle{Children: Location / availability of parent / guardian}:~Not applicable. \eTD \eTR \eTABLE} Todd DeVries *Phone: (208) 847-5996* “Everyone must believe in something.
