inserting figure labels
by Hans van der Meer 12 May '19

12 May '19

Placing a float figure with \placefigure[][]{labeltext}{\externalfigure[]} delivers a figure with a label like "Figure V.3 labeltext" (depending on the setup) Now I want to intersperse this with an \externalfigure[] not within a placefigure but still accompanied by a label in the current running series. For example an uninterrupted series of figure numbers with: \placefigure[][]{labeltext-1}{\externalfigure[figure1]} % -> Figure 1 labeltext-1 \externalfigure[figure-2] \macrocall{labeltext-2} % -> Figure 2 labeltext-2 \placefigure[][]{labeltext-3}{\externalfigure[figure3]} % -> Figure 3 labeltext-3 I could not find what macro to call as the instance for \macrocall. dr.

12 May '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A8] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesized] \setupfootertexts [even-right] [even-left] [odd-right] [odd-left] %~ [even-middle] %~ [odd-middle] \starttext \mbox{}\page\mbox{} \stoptext Is there any way to place content in the middle of doublesided footers, besides left and right contents? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

suggestions for \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 May '19

12 May '19

Hi Wolfgang, as I reported the issue with the fonts and LMTX, I remembered two suggestions I wanted to post here. The first one is enabling the use of "method=uppercase" in \definefallbackfamily (to get fake caps, such as in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/092878.html) The second feature is to enable \definefontfamily to load font files not part of the font database, the same way as \definefont is able to load them. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

pretty printers
by Tomas Hala 08 May '19

08 May '19

Hi all, according to our wiki, there are pretty printers in ConTeXt implemented only for TEX, LUA, XML and MP. I am searching now for PHP pretty printer but I did not find anything on the net (only C and Java). I would like to ask whether is something for PHP (or for other programming languages) available. Best wishes, Tomáš

joinedup not working within footnote within itemize
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 08 May '19

08 May '19

Hello, I need to have itemize with "joinedup" option inside footnote which comes within itemize: ---- \starttext A% \startitemize[][] \item ItemA% \footnote{% Some text \startitemize[joinedup][] % <<< "joinedup" doesn't work here <<< \item Item1 \item Item2 \stopitemize } \item ItemB% \stopitemize \stoptext ---- Here, there is an unwanted blank line between "Item 1" and "Some text". How to avoid or to remove the unwanted blank line? (A solution for ConTeXt "pre-LMTX" would be preferred, due to the fact that I was not able (so far) to rebuild all Lua extensions (.dll) from 5.3 ("pre-LMTX" Ctx) to 5.4 (Ctx - "LMTX") version.)

issue with page numbering
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 May '19

08 May '19

Dear list, inspired by strc-pag.mkiv, I have the following sample: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupsubpagenumber[way=bychapter] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\startchapter[title=My Chapter] \userpagenumber/\lastuserpagenumber--- \subpagenumber/\lastsubpagenumber \stopchapter} \stoptext I need that chapters start on an odd page. Is there any way to avoid that \lastsubpagenumber counts the blank page that might be placed among two chapters? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

tex.month can't be overridden like tex.day and tex.year
by Tristan Stenner 06 May '19

06 May '19

Dear list, in the following document I can set the date as seen by LuaTeX so the date functions use a different date: --- \starttext \ctxlua{tex.year=1980; tex.month=1; tex.day=15} % Taken from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/date, % outputs 15 may 1980 \date[m=1][day,~,{\monthshort\normalmonth},~,year] % outputs January 15, 1980 \ctxlua{context.date{m=tex.month};} \stoptext --- This works for all parts of the date (even the weekday), except the month. I've looked through the core-con.lua and found nothing that would explain this (or what I'd need to change), as the tex.month is properly set. Best regards Tristan
