Re: [NTG-context] Hyphenation LuaTeX

Your font setup should be good without trying to load that module (that doesn’t do anything anymore anyway). Just \mainlanguage[es] and \language[agr] (= \agr) where you need it should be enough. You can’t expect ConTeXt to auto-detect your language, even if that maybe would work for Greek. (My texts are usually in German, thus I have \mainlanguage[de] and use \en or \fr to markup foreign quotes. Correct me if I miss something. > When you mark your Greek passages with {\agr ἡ Ἑλληνικὴ γλῶσσα} (or \language[agr] instead of \agr), you should get the right pattern without that setup. > > The module simplefonts is obsolete since 2013. > > Greetlings, Hraban > --- > https://www.fiee.net > http://wiki.contextgarden.net > https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de > GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Historic ligatures with lucidaot
by Otared Kavian 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Hi all, How can I add the so-called « historic ligatures », such as in st, ct, to a font (assuming it has that feature)? For instance \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] \starttext construction \stoptext does not show the historic ligature in « st » and in « ct »: how can I get them? Best regards: OK

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt support for Atom

Hi, Thanks for "language-context”. > >> what are the key shortcuts to compile the context file at hand? >> i try the atom editor on Linux platform. >> Can't find the way to feed the tex file into context luatex... > > There are no key shortcuts. I use a terminal. > As I wrote: > >> So there’s no run command or something like Atom-LaTeX > When I use Atom for ConTeXt, I use the package,”process palette” in which commands and a key shortcut are defined. By pressing the defined key-shortcut, terminal will do the job as Hraban said. Best regards, Dalyoung

Impacts Project: Two-Page Spread
by Thangalin 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Hi all! Pleased to share with you a new two-page spread of the Impacts project: https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts-dual.pdf Best viewed in "Dual" (or "Even Spreads") mode. Compare with the original single-page spread: https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf If you'd like a hard-copy, please sign up at: https://impacts.to/ The document is written in pandoc-flavoured markdown. ConTeXt, TeX, and Lua code are used to accomplish various stylish feats: * Page setup (bleed, margins, text safe zones) * Override page flushing for columnsets * Timeline indicator line based on section heading numeric text value * Lua converts annotated Markdown to an inline image ConTeXt macro * Clipped background images for pixel-perfect two-page spread * Custom global counter to enumerate illustrations in TeX Annotations will be explained in Part 8 of the Typesetting Markdown series: https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/ Feedback on any of this is very welcome and, again, thank you for all the support over the years. Cheers!

fancy chapter setup
by Henning Hraban Ramm 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Hi all, I’m trying to setup a book layout where each chapter begins with a quote and an image on the left page, followed by title and text start on the right page. While the quote & image thing works, I can’t get the title on the right page, ConTeXt always puts it right of the image, even if that’s as wide as the text width. \page[right] doesn’t do anything. Where’s my mistake? There are also chapters without that intro, therefore I use \doifnot{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}, but those should also start on a right page. I could also use a different section name. But I don’t think that’s the problem. (The page number should appear on the right page; it wouldn’t hurt on the left page, but the chapter title should only appear on following pages.) Best, Hraban %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \define[2]\FancyChapter{% \doifnot{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}{}{% \startstandardmakeup \framed[ width=\textwidth,height=fit, offset=overlay, align=flushleft, ]{% \definedfont[SerifItalic at 16pt] \structureuservariable{subtitle}% } \framed[width=\textwidth]{% \externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth]% } %\hfill\vfill\strut % doesn’t help \stopstandardmakeup } \page[right] % \framed[ width=\textwidth, offset=overlay, align=flushleft, ]{% \definedfont[Sans at 32pt]%#2 \structurevariable{title}% }% } \setupheadertexts[][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuphead[chapter][ page=left, number=no, header=high, command=\FancyChapter, ] \starttext \startchapter[title={My Normal Text}] \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter[title={My Fancy Story}] [subtitle={\quotation{I thought that was real.}}] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

BUG: module loading is broken
by Henri Menke 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Dear Hans, Recent updates to ConTeXt broke my CV. This MWE \usemodule[letter] \starttext \stoptext fails with ...texmf-modules/tex/context/third/letter/base/s-cor-00.lua:88: attempt to call a nil value (field 'uselibrary') Here are the steps by which I can reproduce on my machine: rm -rf /opt/context/tex/texmf-cache mtxrun --generate context --make context test.mkvi Same for LMTX. Cheers, Henri

luametatex segmentation fault
by Ramón Casares 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

Hi list, I am new to LMTX, so before going any further I wanted to compile my plain TeX documents with LMTX. I am aware that LMTX is experimental, so perhaps what I am doing is impossible for the moment or worse, it is not even in your plans. In any case, this is how I got a segmentation fault when I was trying to make the plain format for LMTX in my Debian 10 Buster OS on linux-64 PC. <pre> $ cd ~/context/ $ ./install.sh $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --ini lmtx.tex This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.7 (INITEX) Segmentation fault $ cd ~/context/tex/texmf-cache $ rm -R * $ cd ~/context/ $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --generate $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context --make $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --ini lmtx.tex This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.7 (INITEX) Segmentation fault $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --ini plain.tex This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.7 (INITEX) Segmentation fault $ cat $(~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --locate lmtx.tex) \input plain \directlua {tex.enableprimitives('', tex.extraprimitives())} \pdfoutput=1 \everyjob \expandafter {% \the\everyjob \input luatex-basics.tex\relax \input luatex-fonts.tex\relax \input luatex-mplib.tex\relax } \edef\fmtversion{\fmtversion+lmtx} </pre> Best regards, Ramón Casares

Keep photographer in one line in a caption
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Jan '20

11 Jan '20

Yet another small problem: I my photo captions, the photographer should be right aligned and in one line, i.e. if it doesn’t fit into the last line of the caption, it should move to the next line. ATM I’m clueless... That’s not enough (also not a MWE): \define[1]\Foto{\hfill\hbox{\tfx Foto: #1}} Best, Hraban

Check for parity of pair tags on source file to be closed
by context＠vivaldi.net 11 Jan '20

11 Jan '20

Hello, in most cases, when a source file is to be closed, pair elements (tags) should balanced. This concerns e.g. { - }, \bgroup - \egroup, \startitemize - \stopitemize, \if - \fi etc. When we have a complicated project structure and when compiling the topmost (root) source, a log for a disbalanced tag may appear, but the unbalanced tag however may be difficult to find. Is there a way to enable "watching" pair tags (at least mentioned before) in the way that their disbalance would be reported (logged)? Maybe a "enable tracker" could provide that... Sample: ---- A.mkiv \starttext A \input B.mkiv \stoptext ---- B.mkiv \startitemize \item B ---- <- "\startitemize" is unbalanced (unfinished by \stopitemize) in the scope of B.mkiv, so a message/log ("unfinished \startitemize") should be printed when B.mkiv is to be closed. Best regards, Lukas
