line numbering disappears in custom column layout
by Damien Thiriet 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

Hi, Line numbering disappears when called inside custom columns defined with defineparagraph. This works fine \defineparagraphs[Colonne][n=2] \starttext \startlinenumbering \input knuth \stoplinenumbering \input knuth \stoptext Whereas this does not work as expected \defineparagraphs[Colonne][n=2] \starttext \startColonne \startlinenumbering \input knuth \stoplinenumbering \Colonne \input knuth \stopColonne \stoptext Playing with \setuplinenumbering (location=text and so on) didn't help. Maybe this has to do with setting margins in defineparagraphs, but I can't figure out how to do it. Greetings, Damien Thiriet PS: This is exactly the unanswered question I asked a few days ago on TeX SE https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/505238/context-line-numbering-disap… ----- End forwarded message -----

coloring the logfile
by Hans van der Meer 30 Aug '19

Is it possible to force lines written in the log with \writestatus to have a specific color? The log can be very substantial and it would be nice to have some lines brought to attention by a different color. dr. Hans van der Meer

I have XQuartz, of course, but not the outdated Apple version or any other in /usr/X11/lib, but the MacPorts version in /opt/local/lib (and a few within some Apps). Adobe Acrobat Reader DC doesn’t use X11 and isn’t callable as acroread, but only as /Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ Reader\ DC.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader *if* you installed it in /Applications. I guess you meant acroread on Linux, and there "default" still works. > Am 2019-08-29 um 11:51 schrieb Floris van Manen <vm(a)klankschap.nl>: > > On 29-08-19 11:40, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote: >> Hans, could you use "xdg-open" for "—autopdf=auto" on Linux? >> That’s more or less the same as "open" on MacOS. > > you could also create an alias for in your .bashrc > > alias open=xdg-open Right. And also an alias for acroread and/or pdfopen on my Mac. But since I think it’s useful for a lot of users, I suggest including at least xdg-open for "auto" on Linux. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a distinction of systems in mtxrun. (Is it in mtx-context.lua? I didn’t understand the code.)

standardmakeup and pages
by Henning Hraban Ramm 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hi again, in my books I often use \startstandardmakeup for the initial pages. A typical use case is a bastard title (half-title) on the first page and the copyright information (imprint) on the second, like in this MWE: \setuppagenumbering[ alternative=doublesided, ] \starttext \startstandardmakeup[align=center] bastard title \stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeup[page=left] \vfill imprint \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext With a doublesided layout, the second (left) page is preceded by two empty pages. How can I avoid that? Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

context --autopdf=auto/default
by Henning Hraban Ramm 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hello again! Hans, could you use "xdg-open" for "—autopdf=auto" on Linux? That’s more or less the same as "open" on MacOS. On Windows it’s 'start "" "<file>"' (empty quotes for default program), don’t know if that’s implemented. "default" is apparently "pdfopen", that doesn’t work on MacOS, at least on my system I get: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib Referenced from: /Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/pdfopen Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6 Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Syntax hightlighting
by Fabrice L 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Dear list, I’m using colored verbatim code (for course notes). In the past, I modified verb-mp.mkii for the langage I need (SAS). This code works fine with MKII: %—————— \setupcolors[state=start] \definetyping [MP] [option=MP] \starttext A example: \startMP draw (0,0) withpen pencircle 1in withcolor red ; \stopMP \stoptext %—————— I obtain a color syntax output (« draw » in red, « within » in green for example). This code does not work anymore in MKIV (every word is the same color, green). There should be a solution ? Trying to find some help, in the maling list and the « verbatim_text » page on Context garden, I found some solutions, like pretty printing, which should work on MKIV, but "pret-mp.lua » is found nowhere (nor in the context source browser, nor in my recent distribution). I must admit I’m lost in all the solutions I found there and there (most of them never works out of the box on my installation). Can somebody refer me to a simple solution, which permit me to do colored verbatim code, such as I can modify a source to insert the keywords of the langage I use ? Thanks ! Fabrice.

Like we have for editors: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Text_Editors I’ve an overview in my (still upcoming…) book, see attachment. I really thought I didn’t compile that myself, but there’s no wiki page... Like with the editors, it’s difficult to keep current; don’t even think about complete. There are so many features where viewers differ... Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD
