Split Table, don't repeat caption
by Denis Maier 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi, is there a way not to repeat the caption of a multipage natural table? I've searched the list archive and it looks the question came up a couple of times, but I couldn't find an answer. Also, if I add a footnote to a caption of a split table, this note always appears when the caption appears for the last time. Can that be changed? Best, Denis

Disappearing characters with nolig-german-wordlist
by Denis Maier 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi, I do as adviced on the Wiki and input the nolig-german-wordlist.tex to suppress wrong ligatures. However, I'm seeing strange results: ``` \input nolig-german-wordlist.tex \starttext auffasste auffasse \stoptext ``` gives me "auffasse auffasse" (see attachment.) I don't really understand what is happening here. Why is the t disappearing. ``` \replaceword[eka][auffasse][au{ff}asse] \replaceword[eka][auffasste][au{ff}asste] \setreplacements[eka] \starttext auffasste auffasse \stoptext ``` This example gives correct results.

playing with Windows drag & drop
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Dear list, I have a minimal sample file: \starttext \insertpages[\env{PDFdocument}] \stoptext I invoke it in Windows, using the following batch file: @echo off REM ~ context --purgeall --arguments="PDFdocument=%1" b.tex I’m afraid it only works if the batch file and the PDF document are on the same directory. I guess this is related to "\" in Windows paths. Is there a way to make it work with the sample above? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Sections in content: macros v text
by Tomas Hala 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hi all, the content generated by the MWE below contains 1 bb ... 1 2 bb ... 1 instead of 1 aa ... 1 2 bb ... 1 because the content structure refers to the macro name \name in both sections instead of to work with the text. Maybe it was already discussed by I am not able to find any solution how to send the text "aa" to the content in this case. Thanks in advance for any hint. Best wishes, Tomáš MWE (TL2020): \starttext \define\name{aa} \startsection[title=\name,list=\name] \stopsection \define\name{bb} \startsection[title=\name,list=\name] \stopsection \completecontent \stoptext

xml bookmarks
by Jano Kula 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hello to everybody! I have a similar problem as Tomas two days ago. When inserting bookmarks from XML the reference to the node is stored in TUC file ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="section", ["title"]="\\xmlatt {xml:name::4}{title}" and this reference ends up in bookmarks. Any advice on how to change it to text in bookmarks? Find attached MWE (mkiv, current beta), third section is inserted manually. Thank you, Jano

wrong url border (LMTX only)
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[references.border] \definemakeup[slide] \define[1]\newurl{\goto{\tt\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]} \starttext \startmakeup[slide]\newurl{a}\stopmakeup \stoptext LMTX (latest from LuaTeX 2.07 20200920 + ConTeXt MkIV 2020.09.20 23:02) generates a link border that goes to the end of the text width. I have found this issue not only with makeups. Also some footnotes in my documents, but I couldn’t provide a minimal sample that displays the problem with those. Could anyone confirm this issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

URLs in XML, escaping special characters
by Denis Maier 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hi, I'm struggling with getting hyphenated URLs to work from XML input. How do you enter ampersands and percent signs correctly so that they can be used in links? This here doesn't really works: ================ \startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} % Hauptgruppen \xmlsetsetup{#1}{article|ext-link}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:test} \startxmlsetups xml:article \starttext \xmlflush{#1} \stoptext \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ext-link \goto{\hyphenatedurl{\xmlflush{#1}}}[url(\xmlflush{#1})] \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[test] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <article> <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://merhav.nli.org.il/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,Glikl&…">http://merhav.nli.org.il/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,Glikl&…</ext-link> </article> \stopbuffer \xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{} ============= Visual output is ok, but the clickable link contains only the text until the end of the line. Best, Denis

chapter no. in header
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

This should be simple, but I can’t find it: I need not only the chapter title, but also the chapter number in my headertext. ATM I have (minus formatting): \setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[section]}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\pagenumber}] [{\getmarking[chapter]}] Hraban

Citeproc
by Denis Maier 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hi, John MacFarlane, the developper of Pandoc, has released a new Citeproc that generates citations and bibliographies using CSL style files (CSL= citation style language). While it is written in Haskell and while it's primarily intended for use with Pandoc, it can also be used in other contexts. Provided with a JSON encoded list of references via stdin, it can produce formatted output. I know that ConTeXt has its own infrastructure to format bibliographies and citations, but, given the enormous amount of available styles in CSL, I nevertheless think that this could be a worthwile addition. What would be necessary to make such a toll usable with ConTeXt? How complicated would that be? Best, Denis

Postponed footnotes and pagebreaks
by Denis Maier 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hi, postponing footnotes when using tables causes the footnote often to appear on the next page, which may not always be wanted. Is there a way to keep the footnote on the same page in these situations? Best, Denis
